As Yunxi chopped wild vegetables, she thought about what she had overheard outside. She wondered if those hooligans would come over tonight, and she really hoped they would arrive soon.

That way, I won't have to keep thinking about this. If they arrive sooner, I can take care of them sooner.

The more I think about it, the more impatient I feel; I'm incredibly excited.

When Yunxi first encountered this situation, her initial reaction was not fear, but excitement, which was truly speechless.

It took me almost an hour to chop all the wild vegetables. The rest I'll have to wait until tomorrow to take them out to dry.

Yunxi remembers that there was a special winnowing basket in the storeroom for drying wild vegetables, the kind that was a meter in diameter, it was really big.

There were only three winnowing baskets at home, so it was impossible to fill them with all the wild vegetables. However, if they were piled up thickly, it wouldn't be impossible.

However, if the pile is too thick, it will take several more days to dry completely; otherwise, it's impossible to dry it all at once.

I looked up at the sky; it should rain in the next couple of days, either tomorrow or the day after.

Although it's raining and not ideal for drying things, it's actually good for crops. At least for now, we don't have to worry about drought or water shortage.

At this point, we don't care whether it will rain in a couple of days. If it rains, we can just put it in our space. The most important thing is to get everything in order.

Yunxi hopes to get everything settled at home before starting school, so that she won't have to worry about home so much once she's at school.

Thinking of the soybeans in her private plot, it was almost time to harvest them. Sure enough, she wasn't suited for a leisurely life; she was only suited to working hard like an old ox.

Although she is the kind of person who enjoys doing her work.

As it gradually gets dark, there's no need to water the plot today. After the rain stops and the sun comes out to dry the soybeans, it'll be ready to be harvested.

After putting everything away from the yard, we went straight to the backyard.

Pick all the red peppers and other vegetables that are almost edible in the backyard, so they don't get too old.

All the vegetables will be temporarily stored in the space. They will be disposed of when there is a sufficient accumulation of each type of vegetable.

We need to decide whether to dry the vegetables, pickle them, or keep them to eat fresh vegetables in winter.

Because Yunxi has been quite diligent in picking vegetables lately, there aren't many ripe vegetables left. In less than half an hour, she had picked all the vegetables from her private plot.

After harvesting all the vegetables, Yunxi directly controlled the river water in the space and quickly watered all the vegetables in the yard.

I walked to the area next to the courtyard wall, patted the round pumpkins, and felt that they were still not old enough. I decided to let them grow for the time being, and pick them when they were old enough.

The seeds inside the pumpkin can be roasted and eaten later, and even the pumpkin itself can be made into pumpkin sauce. It feels like the whole pumpkin is a treasure. There's nothing that doesn't taste good, only things you don't know how to cook.

If you arrive a little earlier, you can pick the tender pumpkin stems and flowers, which are also delicious when stir-fried.

We won't be able to enjoy the tender pumpkin stalks and flowers this year, so we'll have to wait until next year to have a chance to try them.

Next to the pumpkin patch, there's a field of chives. They were probably harvested recently, as the chives aren't ready to be cut yet. It would be a waste to cut them now; they can grow a little longer.

Things like scallions, ginger, and garlic won't be available so quickly, but considering the large bundles in my space, I don't seem to be in a rush to eat them.

If we run out of food, we can just go to the market to buy more. Anyway, I have plenty of money now, and I can even earn money by picking medicinal herbs, so I don't have to worry about not having enough money.

Thinking of medicinal herbs reminds me of the pile of herbs I picked this morning in my space. It seems I'll have to get them out early tomorrow morning and dry them as soon as possible.

After returning to the front yard, I patted my stomach and got busy, even forgetting to eat.

I steamed some white rice for myself, and cooked all the last bit of rice. I put the extra rice in a wooden basin in my space.

After eating all this, if I want to eat white rice again, I'll have to wait until the day after tomorrow to go to town and trade with the cloth seller before I can finally have the freedom to eat white rice.

I stir-fried two vegetables for myself, and that'll be my dinner tonight.

Thinking of the two large basins of braised meat in her space, she was so tempted that she swallowed hard. But since she had decided to temporarily abstain from meat, she would keep her word; she was capable of doing that.

While eating the food in my bowl, I would occasionally glance at the meat in my space, which was like watching the meat while mixing the rice.

Yunxi felt that it must be because she had never eaten it before, and the taste was still in her memory, that made her crave the meat so much. If she could actually eat it, she definitely wouldn't miss it so much.

After dinner, Yunxi grabbed a stool and sat down under the eaves. She originally wanted to take out the medicinal herbs from her space and organize them temporarily, but looking at the sky outside, she had a feeling that it would rain tomorrow.

There are hardly any stars in the sky; you can tell the weather won't be good tomorrow.

I just hope this rain doesn't last too long, otherwise it would be bad if it delayed my trip to town.

Thinking that the rain wouldn't come anytime soon, and that the medicinal herbs picked in the morning weren't that many, it would only take a few hours to finish.

We decided to take everything out, keeping all the parts that should be kept and temporarily setting aside the rest.

I'll take those useless parts outside to dry tomorrow; at least they can be used to make a fire and contribute one last bit of value to myself.

His hands were constantly processing the medicinal herbs, while his mind was preoccupied with matters outside.

I wonder if that scoundrel will come over tonight. If he does, things will get interesting.

Suddenly, I started to hope that the scoundrel would come quickly and we could take care of him sooner, so I wouldn't have to worry about anything.

And that girl who conspired with the hooligan—if she found out that she was actually Yun Zhaodi or Yun Pandi, she would definitely not let them off the hook.
