Led by Huang Xiaomei, Chen Suwen traded a chicken and a duck with the people of Qianshuihe Brigade.
Of course, besides these, she also changed some of the ingredients slightly.
When they left Qianshuihe Brigade, not only was Chen Suwen satisfied, but the villagers were also satisfied.
Although not everyone got anything in return, Chen Suwen said they could come again next time, which gave everyone something to look forward to.
The climate in Guangdong Province is warm, and even in the coldest winters, plants won't freeze to death, so food isn't particularly scarce.
But besides grains and wild vegetables, the villagers still wanted to try other things, such as sugar.
Today, Chen Suwen exchanged a lot of sugar, both white and brown sugar.
Some people couldn't stand their kids' fussing and exchanged the candies for a few ounces or half a pound of fruit candy.
A villager also gave Chen Suwen a bamboo basket, as well as a chicken coop and a duck coop, so that it would be convenient for her to take them home.
After leaving the Qianhe Brigade, Chen Suwen pondered all the way, wondering if she should cause some trouble since she rarely got out.
She looked around at the surroundings, which included farmland, small hills, and slightly higher mountains in the distance.
Should she pick up something while she's hunting in the mountains?
Chen Suwen was a woman of action; since she rarely went out, she did everything she could.
She chose a spot, a mountain that seemed to be less frequented, and once she reached the foot of the mountain, she used her spiritual power to check if anyone was around.
After finding no one around, she put the bicycle and all the other items into her spatial storage and went straight up the mountain.
Luckily, she didn't wear that pretty dress when she went out today, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to go up the mountain.
Although it doesn't snow in the south during winter and there aren't many bare plants, there are still quite a few withered branches and rotten leaves.
It seems like it hasn't rained lately, so most of the weeds along the roadside have turned yellow and withered.
The mountainside is alright; tall trees block the sunlight, and the weeds and shrubs on the ground don't wither and die from the sun like those along the roadside.
Beside the stream, the plants were still a vibrant green.
Chen Suwen walked around the river at the foot of the mountain for a while and picked a lot of water ferns.
Actually, this patch of water fern should have been picked by someone before, but that didn't stop Chen Suwen.
As long as the roots of the water fern are not dug up, she can use her wood-based abilities to promote its growth and make it sprout new leaves.
After picking a bagful of water ferns, Chen Suwen continued up the mountain.
The mountain wasn't very high, but the mountains here are mostly connected, not a single mountain standing alone in an open space, so she walked quite a distance.
Chen Suwen frowned, took out the medicine and sprayed it on her body. The leeches that had been hiding in the damp grass stopped staring at her.
Chen Suwen had forgotten that leeches existed in the mountains, especially in the south where there were indeed many leeches in the mountains.
When she was in elementary school in her previous life, the school's labor class required her to dig up grass by the river. At that time, she saw many leeches in the grass by the river.
That was a roadside along the river where people often came and went, and there were still so many leeches back then.
Let alone now, 75 years later?
Decades later, due to the increased use of pesticides and the decrease in cattle farming, there were fewer leeches in the roadside grass.
However, leeches can also be found in some remote and sparsely populated areas.
In this day and age, leeches are not uncommon.
After spraying the medicine, Chen Suwen wasn't worried about leeches climbing up on her and sucking her blood when she wasn't looking.
Leech bites don't hurt, but once they've sucked their fill of blood, the wound bleeds non-stop, which is really annoying.
And who knows if leeches, like ticks, will burrow into a person's skin?
Her medicine is for repelling insects; it can repel or even kill any kind of insect.
Whether it's leeches, ticks, ants, or grasshoppers, they will all be poisoned to death.
Of course, it is harmless to the human body.
That's how buggy it is.
"Gurgle...gurgle..."
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chen Suwen finally heard some sounds. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw a relatively common bird.
That one was too small; the amount of meat wasn't even enough to fill a tooth gap. Chen Suwen didn't like it.
In fact, after she "exchanged" for chickens and ducks, she lost interest in hunting.
She doesn't really like eating wild game. Although pheasant is good for soup, she prefers domestic chicken.
Not to mention wild boar, she doesn't even like eating domestic pork, let alone wild boar meat.
So she didn't really intend to hunt when she went up the mountain; she was mainly there to cause trouble.
Chen Suwen found a place that was not too remote.
This place is currently largely ignored, yet it allows passersby to discover what she has created.
Otherwise, if she causes trouble and no one knows, wouldn't that be a waste of time and energy?
She used her mental energy to check if anyone else was around and if anyone had seen her actions.
After confirming that no one was around, she took out the seeds from her spatial storage.
In this era, there are no surveillance cameras or surveillance systems, so she can do whatever she wants without worrying about being discovered.
Chen Suwen looked at the seeds in her hand; they were seeds of several pumpkins and winter melons.
Yes, winter melon and pumpkin.
Before the apocalypse, the pumpkins and winter melons were already quite large, with a yield of at least several thousand to tens of thousands of kilograms per mu.
After the apocalypse, pumpkins and winter melons evolved to be larger and had a higher yield.
The seeds Chen Suwen was holding were better than the pumpkins and winter melons she had previously tried to grow at home.
It's big and tastes pretty good.
