The days in the northwest are long, the sun is scorching hot at noon, and people don’t have to work until three or four in the afternoon.
After lunch, Uncle Qiu and Fourth Uncle went to take a nap, Auntie was washing the pot, and Grandma was mixing hay seeds with the water used to rinse the pot. She even soaked a handful of dry alfalfa and mixed it with food for the chickens.
People have limited food these days, and when winter comes, where will there be any chickens to eat? I heard my aunt sighing and saying that we can only keep the chickens until the weather freezes. If they can't hold on any longer, we will kill them and eat them, and catch them again next year.
Qiu Yuling resisted the idea of stealing her own space farm. After all, she wasn't at her grandmother's house every day. Even if she moved to a healthier farm, she wouldn't be able to provide them with food, and these chickens would still die.
Just get through this year and everything will be fine. Wait until next spring and send the chicks I hatched at home here. I guarantee they will grow fast and healthily.
Qiu Yuling felt that she was the most useless time traveler. Although she had a cheating artifact, she was unable to support her family and improve their lives. Even her space was extremely poor.
After washing the pot and filling half a basket with sand dates, the aunt called out to Qiu Yuling. Qiu Yuling looked up blankly. It turned out that the aunt was going to send Qiu Yuling back home, so she hurried and came back in time for work in the afternoon.
Qiu Yuling refused again and again, saying that she really could do it, please believe me!
It was the grandmother who came back from feeding the chickens who woke up her fourth uncle with a slap, and made the final decision to let her aunt go and get some rest. The fourth uncle went to send Lingling baby away, and only then did the old tearing of the pieces stop. Qiu Yuling had no choice but to start a new round of tearing.
In the end, she was powerless and her words were not taken seriously. Her fourth uncle mocked her as a chatterbox. He picked up the backpack, picked up Qiu Yuling and walked out. He didn't let her feet touch the ground until she walked out of the team due to Qiu Yuling's strong resistance.
Qiu Yuling glared at her eccentric fourth uncle with resentment, and hadn't even said goodbye to her grandmother yet.
Her fourth uncle finally smiled. Seeing that Qiu Yuling was actually resentful, he asked embarrassedly, "How about we go back and say goodbye?"
Forget it, it’s not a hundred thousand miles away. I’ll come back again in the future. Let’s just leave it this way for now.
The uncle and nephew didn't know what to talk about. After asking about studies in a dry tone, they could only hurry on their way panting. Qiu Yuling thought for a while and asked her fourth uncle if they should go around Yancao Lake, as there were wild rabbits and pheasants there.
Yancao Lake is just a lake in name. In fact, the lake in that article is not very big, but because the water resources are slightly better, it is surrounded by a circle of red willow and poplar forests, plus tall reeds and sedge grass, and there are indeed many pheasants and rabbits.
Qiu Yuling had already realized that this fourth uncle was about the same age as her eldest brother and was still a child.
Without Qiu Yuling's encouragement, her fourth uncle agreed immediately. Qiu Yuling hurriedly searched the space products, and it seemed that there was nothing else except a lot of chickens.
She had no choice but to use the old trick and exchange chickens for wild rabbits and pheasants. As the difficulty of her requirements increased, the original one-to-one exchange rate had become two-to-one, which meant that she needed two chickens to exchange for one that was consistent with the wild ones in the current environment.
"Extremely poor student" Qiu Yuling generously exchanged fifty wild rabbits and fifty pheasants, and her cute pet manor was instantly half empty.
But with her generous exchange, a new species - rabbits - was added to the Cute Pet Manor. She had already passed the novice period, and even if species were added to the Rich Treasure Manor, she still had to spend her points to redeem them.
In order to achieve high yields and fast production, Qiu Yuling did not plan to rely on natural reproduction. She simply waved her hand and placed an order for fifty male rabbits and fifty female rabbits. The two hundred points were gone again. The chicken coop was a matching set at the time, and she had to pay for the rabbit coop herself.
Qiu Yuling looked at the sky-high priced rabbit house and said, "Fifty points coins, the rabbit house can be automatically enlarged or reduced as the number of rabbits increases or decreases, and it can also provide food and water."
You are the capital and you have the final say. You should know that the points currency in the system is closely related to the external prices. In this day and age, every cent counts, and yet it dares to sell it for fifty!!!
"Lingling, are you tired?" Fourth uncle waited for a long time and saw that Qiu Yuling didn't catch up, so he took off the backpack and bent down to let Qiu Yuling come up and carry her.
Oh no, I've been lost in thought for too long. Qiu Yuling thought about it and didn't refuse. Fourth Uncle carried the backpack forward, with Qiu Yuling hanging on his back. His head was flat, and his eyes could only look slightly forward. He couldn't lower his head, nor could he turn around.
Qiu Yuling took the opportunity to release the wild rabbits and pheasants that she had previously exchanged for her chickens. Fortunately, they were already near Yancao Lake. There were half-high red willow trees, saxaul trees, and dry sedge grass. Qiu Yuling released them one by one step by step.
Finally, something flashed past her fourth uncle's eyes, and he left Qiu Yuling and the backpack and started a chaotic fight.
After a lot of hustle and bustle, he actually caught a pheasant in the reeds.
"Oh my god, Yancao Lake is really a great place. People don't even have food to eat, but this land can still support so many living things. I'm so rich..."
Fourth uncle was so happy that he jumped up and down tirelessly. After Qiu Yuling released the last pheasant, she skillfully took out a slingshot from her backpack, hung a small stone on it, pulled the bow and shot. One rabbit and pheasant after another were picked up and put back into the backpack.
"Good niece, come and try it on your uncle. Your uncle is very accurate."
Qiu Yuling gave up her slingshot and let her fourth uncle use it. Unfortunately, the rabbit released from the space was agile and not hungry yet, so her fourth uncle returned empty-handed.
"It's strange, how could I be worse than a little brat like you?" Fourth uncle circled around Qiu Yuling in disbelief, holding a slingshot.
Qiu Yuling remained incredibly calm. While other things might be considered cheating, this one was the real deal she'd been practicing for the past six months. Not only had she been practicing outside, she'd also been practicing in the space, all in the hope of earning a living legitimately one day.
However, the loss in technology was soon overshadowed by the harvest in food. The hemp rope and sand dates in the backpack had been taken out long ago, and a circle of dry sedge was placed around the backpack to make a raised wall. Even the prey was about to emerge.
It was already dark, and her fourth uncle thought it over and decided to go back first, and then take his older nephews to explore Yancao Lake at night.
Qiu Yuling remained noncommittal. She believed that night visits might not yield a good harvest, and she was not afraid of word getting out. If she released so many, she could solve the problem instantly, one for each family. There was no way she would allow them to grow and become an overgrowth.
It was already dark when she got home. Mother Qiu thought Qiu Yuling had stayed overnight at her grandmother's house. When she turned around, she suddenly saw her daughter behind her and was almost scared.
"I'm back, go wash your hands and have dinner."
"Sister, hehe." Fourth uncle jumped out from the other side and patted Mother Qiu. Mother Qiu was really scared this time.
"You stupid kid! You're so grown up, yet still so childish." Mother Qiu said as she slapped her fourth brother on the back in anger.
"Bronze is here, come in and have dinner." Father Qiu heard his fourth uncle's voice and hurried out to greet him.
"Poof!" Qiu Yuling almost sprayed water into the pot.
"You naughty girl, what are you doing again?" Mother Qiu glared at Qiu Yuling and pretended to slap her.
Uncle "Bronze" quickly grabbed Mother Qiu's hand, pulled her out, and pushed aside several older nephews. He pointed at the backpack and showed off their great achievements today, and emphasized on praising Qiu Yuling's slingshot skills!
