Chapter 279 It seems a bit too much
Seeing the girl's surprised look, Aunt Shui explained, "Ever since the dragon snake died, fish have been coming down from upstream. Although not many, we can still catch some occasionally."
Xiao Mutou joined in, "Aunt Shui said she didn't know when you would be able to come, so she kept the fish in the big pond in the yard."
Gu Xiaoxi didn't expect that the people here cared about her so much, and she was still very touched. She asked Dashun and the others to follow, and found that Uncle Geda had been called away by the old patriarch.
Aunt Shui brought them to their residence and everyone put down their heavy backpacks.
Aunt Shui poured them some tea and they sat in the corridor to rest.
Not long after, the old patriarch Quan and Uncle Geda came into the yard, chatting and laughing.
Gu Xiaoxi saw Patriarch Quan, stood up and handed him a list, then pointed to the baskets and said, "Patriarch Quan, when you have time, please distribute the things inside to the villagers according to the list above.
Those people are busy now. I don't trust the people outside, so I brought less stuff in this time. Next time I come in, I'll bring a few more men with me, so I can carry more stuff in."
"Miss Xiaoxi, you are so thoughtful." Clan leader Quan knew that even if they took that road, it would not be easy to walk in the spring.
Not only did they come in at this time, but they were also carrying such heavy things, which made it even more difficult for them to walk.
"Don't say that. What everyone gave me were all good things. I know it in my heart." Gu Xiaoxi felt a little embarrassed, because compared with the things given to her last year, these were simply insignificant.
hehe……
When Chief Quan heard Miss Xiaoxi say this, he couldn't help laughing.
When a distinguished guest arrived, the villagers took out the best things in their homes, and Gu Xiaoxi ate very well that night.
There is not enough food in the mountains, and the staple food is not fixed. Tonight we are eating wild yam.
Yam tastes very good, but it can be a bit choking if you eat too much. Gu Xiaoxi ate some and drank a lot of water, as she was a little uncomfortable with it.
"Old Patriarch Quan, I think the soil and water here are good, and you can definitely grow some crops." She suggested to Old Patriarch Quan.
Why……
The old tribe leader sighed and said helplessly, "It's not that we haven't thought about it, but although the soil here is good, it's all mountainous, and getting water is difficult.
You know, we don't have the height advantage, so it's really difficult."
Gu Xiaoxi understood the concerns of the old clan leader Quan and did not refute anything for the time being. She would go and take a look tomorrow before making a decision.
That night, we had a campfire barbecue until midnight.
Gu Xiaoxi learned from the old clan leader Quan that after the river became passable, people from the deep mountain village also came out.
There were four different villages in total from several mountains, and the people there were pretty easy to talk to.
In this way, everyone made an agreement not to disturb each other and set up a market near the river where everyone could exchange things, which made life better.
When she heard about such a market, her face was filled with excitement.
After all, their numbers were limited and they couldn't find all the good things in the mountains.
But with a market like that, it’s different.
"If you want to go, let Big Wood and Little Wood take you there tomorrow." Chief Quan said, looking at Xiaoxi with anticipation in his eyes.
"Okay!" Gu Xiaoxi nodded vigorously.
Uncle Geda saw Gu Xiaoxi's happy expression and said, "This girl is particularly interested in medicinal herbs."
"It's a good thing to have something you like to do." Patriarch Quan thought this was a good idea.
…
The next morning, Big Wood and Little Wood had breakfast early and came to wait.
When the sun came out, they came to the simple market together.
Gu Xiaoxi originally thought that these markets only traded medicinal herbs, but she didn't expect to see so many pots, pans, and utensils.
Some people in the village took medicinal herbs to exchange for these pots, pans, and utensils.
Gu Xiaoxi suddenly felt that he had a new way to do business, but this time all the things were given to the old patriarch, so it would be difficult for them to exchange them for anything now.
Little Wood could see what Little Creek was thinking, so he stepped forward and said, "The old patriarch said that you can exchange anything you like. The things you brought back yesterday are still untouched."
"Is this okay?" Gu Xiaoxi felt embarrassed.
The things I brought in were limited, and if I exchanged them all for my own things, it would seem a bit too much.
"Of course, it's not like you won't come in anymore in the future," said Xiao Mu.
Yes!
At worst, I can go back tomorrow and come back in a few days.
After Gu Xiaoxi figured things out, she went to look for things and medicinal herbs she liked, and finally exchanged them for a backpack and returned to the village.
She felt that since she had taken advantage of others, she should do something for them?
After lunch, she didn't let Dashun, Yingsan and the others follow her, and took Xiaomu with her for a walk around the village.
After a round, she found that there were several relatively flat places, and they were close to mountains with spring water coming down from the mountains, so it was perfect for growing crops.
"Little Wood, the places we just saw are all villages, right?" she asked.
"Yes, they are all from the village." Xiao Mu nodded.
Gu Xiaoxi understood what was going on, and they returned to the village.
At dinner in the evening, she told the old tribe leader Quan about the plots of land she had taken a fancy to: "Old tribe leader Quan, I have seen several plots of land that you can use to grow crops.
Although the amount we plant won't be too much, it will at least give you more food to eat."
"Will this work? Spring is almost over now." Patriarch Quan said worriedly.
"You have such a good climate here with spring all year round, so I think it's okay.
Besides, if you don't try, how do you know it won't work?" Gu Xiaoxi still thought it was worth a try.
The old patriarch thought about it and agreed. However, he became troubled again: "Even if we want to plant, we don't have any seeds."
"Don't worry about the seeds. We will go out tomorrow and I will bring the seeds to you." Gu Xiaoxi felt that this was a trivial matter.
"That would be too hard. How about we send some young people out as well?" suggested the old patriarch Quan.
Gu Xiaoxi thought this was a good idea. After all, she had limited staff. If more people went out, she could move a lot of things in.
There is nothing going on at home right now, so the commute is not very long.
"Okay, it's decided. Let's have some people dig the ground tomorrow and give a group of people to go out with us.
There are still seeds on the market right now, so we can let them see what they need and bring them in." Gu Xiaoxi happily decided.
"I have some seeds at home. I'll bring them in for you." Uncle Geda also wanted to do something for them?
