Get the golden finger at the beginning: Enjoy the journey of escaping from the famine

Finally, after sending the people away, Shen Li simply drove the mule cart to the town to take a look around and see how high the current grain prices were.

It hasn't rained for such a long time that the crops in many fields have dried up, especially the rice.

There are some diligent farmers who can hold on for a while, but if it doesn't rain, the rivers will dry up, the crops in the fields will be hopeless, and food prices will rise sharply, and they won't be able to hold on for long before chaos breaks out.

Shen Li was driving a mule cart and passed by the grain shop and took a look at the prices. The price of brown rice had risen to 15 wen per catty, millet rice was originally two wen, but now it has risen to 6 wen, and old rice is 100 wen per stone.

The price of food has increased. There are many people in front of every food store, and everyone has a worried look on their face.

Even if it rains now, this year's crop is bound to have a low yield, not to mention that looking at the weather, it doesn't look like it's going to rain.

There is no grain harvest and the price of grain is so high. There is no choice but to buy it. The price may go up again in a while.

Everyone had the same expression on their face, looking sad.

Shen Li drove away on a mule cart. In the private room of Ruyi Tower, Pei Yu looked out the window and was listening to Tian Qing's report when he saw Shen Li driving by.

Tianqing also saw it. He had been with his master for a few days and knew that Miss Shen was a capable girl with some skills.

He also knew what the Shen family did in the mountains every day. After all, his master lived in the Shen family's house, so he had to find out.

"Master, shall we return to Beijing now?"

"Ah."

Shen Li returned to the village and just stopped at the door of her house when she saw a lot of people on the distant mountain.

Shen Li was obviously used to it. Seeing that their crops were doomed, the villagers had to find a way to survive.

As a result, the wild vegetables on the mountain suffered. In just a dozen days, the villagers almost stripped the skin off the small peaks on the outskirts.

Of course, no villagers dare to go to Wuling Mountains now.

Even if it came to that, they didn't dare to go in rashly. They still had a chance of survival outside, but entering Wuling Mountain would be a matter of life and death.

Not long after Shen Li returned home, Lin Cuicui and Xu Taohua came in carrying a basket of wild vegetables.

According to Lin Cuicui, many families went to pick the fruits, so wouldn't it be conspicuous if they didn't?

Shen Li understood what her mother meant and went with her and her sister-in-law.

After the family split up, he bought a mule cart. The villagers were all wondering whether his family had become rich.

That's why my mother took my sister-in-law out to pick some wild vegetables every day.

Now, all the wild vegetables on the hills beside the fields have been pulled out.

If this continues, even the leaves of the trees will probably be spared.

Everyone still has food reserves, but the food will be used up one day. If they continue to eat like this, they will only end up with a depleted storage space. As long as it doesn't rain, they will not be able to rest easy.

After Wei Zian left, nothing changed at home. To the Shen family, it was the same whether he was there or not.

We had to be extra careful when we were here, but now that he’s gone, you can do whatever you want.

Shen Li collected the herbs in the yard, then picked and chose some of them.

Put it into a mortar, grind it into powder, and put it into a cloth bag beside it.

This is a recipe she saw in her previous life, which can repel mosquitoes, insects, snakes, ants and the like.

It was very useful on the journey of fleeing from famine. After Shen Li was done, she put everything into a cloth bag and carried it into the room, which was actually stored in the space.

The medicinal effects can be well preserved in the space.

Shen Li carried out a plate of spiritual fruits. The fruits looked a bit like green pears and had a crisp texture. Shen Li could eat a dozen of them in one bite.

As for the other members of the Shen family, Shen Li would only give them two at most and then stop.

Worried about eating too much and their bodies can’t handle it.

The spiritual energy in the space was still very weak, and it seemed to remain that way. Shen Li would absorb the spiritual energy from it every night. When she went in the next day, the spiritual energy had returned to its original state.

"Mom, sister-in-law, take a break."

Shen Li handed the spiritual fruit over, and Lin Cuicui and Xu Taohua each picked up one and started eating.

When Shen Li took it out, she made an excuse that the fruit was found deep in the mountains, and the Shen family stopped asking questions.

"It's already so bright, why haven't your father and the others come back yet?"

There has been no hope for the crops lately, so my dad and uncle have been spending longer hours in the mountains every day.

The prey hunted by each family belonged to the family. When my uncles and others learned about the food, they bought a lot and kept them at home.

After all, the four half-grown boys in the family are now old enough to eat.

This person had just been mentioned by Lin Cuicui when she saw the father and son walking in from outside the door carrying pheasants and rabbits in their hands.

Shen Li took a look and saw live pheasants and rabbits. It seemed that there had been a lot of progress.

The villagers have already learned that when Shen Changshan and his men were training in the mountains, many young boys joined them.

Shen Changshan didn't teach them specifically, but the boys followed suit in training and they didn't stop them.

Although some people are jealous of the prey they get, it is useless to be jealous because they get it by their own ability.

Now there are fewer prey in the mountains and more villagers, so they have moved a lot to the outskirts of Wuling Mountain.

"Little sister, mother, sister-in-law, we are back!"

“What a great harvest today!”

Shen Yuanzhou held two lively wild rabbits in his hands and handed them to Shen Li.

"Ali, how about braising one and stir-frying the other?"

"Third brother, if you want to eat, I'll make it for you!"

Shen Yuanzhou remembered his little sister's cooking skills and silently carried the rabbit back behind him.

He didn't understand, he really didn't understand. When his mother was cooking, his little sister was clearly explaining everything in a reasonable way. Why did the food she cooked turn out like that?

“Haha, little sister, let’s not waste it, let’s give it to mother and sister-in-law!”

Shen Li was just joking with the third brother and had no intention of making things difficult for him.

If Shen Li were to name a few things to put in cooking, she would fill several baskets.

However, as we all know, theory and practice are not the same thing.

It's not that you can get things done just by saying something fancy.

Shen Li is the type of person who says everything that makes sense, but when it comes to taking action, it's a pile of shit!

In other words, the skills of roasting pheasant and rabbit are pretty good.

After dinner in the evening, Shen Li entered the space. The rice in the space had been harvested twice, and this crop had just been planted not long ago. Other crops had also been harvested once.

The rice in the space was harvested for the first time, with an output of about 400 kilograms per mu.

Although I knew that rice yields were low during this time, I had not experienced it myself, so I could not imagine it to be so low.

Shen Li also asked her father and learned that the current maximum rice yield per mu is around 180 kilograms.

If you think about it this way, the yield per mu in this space is still quite high.

It may also be that the seeds are not good. The seeds nowadays are still too bad and not as good as those in the future.

However, Shen Li had no choice. She had never learned this. It was already a blessing that she could grow so many in the space.

Well, it would be nice if we had sweet potatoes and potatoes, corn would be fine too.

Shen Li collected all the vegetables that needed to be collected. There were not many fruits in the space, so she had to go find some sometime.

Looking at the grape plant in the yard, it was found in the mountains and moved to the space by Shen Li.

Now there are green fruits hanging on it, and they can be eaten after a while.

Nowadays, many good things are overseas. It would be great if I could go there!
