Chapter 51 Welfare of Nanxi Village
Yang Xiangwei: "You can think about it first and reply to me in three days."
"Yes, Lord Mountain God."
…
Village chief Tong Na woke up early in the morning and jumped out of bed in excitement, even scaring his wife. Later, when she heard that the mountain god had appeared in his dream last night and asked him what Nanxi Village wanted to plant, she also became excited and said, "What else can we plant? Of course, we should plant the same things as Yilan Village! I heard that their sweet potatoes can be planted with vines. I also want to discuss with you that after they harvest this batch, we can ask their village for some vines to use as seed crops."
"Sweet potatoes and corn are good, but have you ever thought about why the mountain god didn't give them to us directly, but asked me in a dream?"
His wife was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
Village Chief Tong Na said, "Why else? They must want to test us. We have to perform well. Yilan Village is ahead of our village. We almost offended Lord Shuhe before. Even if Lord Shuhe doesn't remember, we have to remember... In other words, we need to work twice as hard to close the gap."
His wife didn't blame him for moving the statue. After all, at that time, they didn't know that it was the statue of Lord Luhe. If they had known, they would not have allowed it to be moved.
This kind of thing is indeed somewhat "offensive" to God.
However, they could not blame the Mountain God. He was so busy that it was normal for him to forget to notify them.
They must remember the kindness shown to them.
"Then have you asked the mountain god what kind of crops are better for our Nanxi Village?"
Village Chief Tongna: "Uh... I forgot."
"How come you forgot again? You've already experienced it once, why don't you learn from it? Didn't you tell me that no matter what happens in the future, I can't act on my own and must ask the mountain god for his opinion? We'll do whatever the mountain god tells us to do."
Village Chief Tongna: "..."
He usually recites it, but didn't he forget it because he was too nervous when he saw the Mountain God?
How about he go to the temple and burn some incense and then ask?
But if that’s the case, would Lord Mountain God find him annoying?
He bothered me the next day about something I had just told him the night before.
His wife: "Then you should prepare a few more plans and see what the mountain god wants. If the mountain god wants us to plant the same as Yilan Village, we will plant the same. If the mountain god has other plans, we will plant something else according to his wishes."
"What if the mountain god doesn't have any ideas and lets us choose?"
"Then think about it and tell the mountain god what we are going to plant. Anyway, we will do whatever the mountain god tells us to do."
…
Three days passed quickly.
The village chief of Tongna honestly burned incense at the mountain temple: "Lord Mountain God, are you here? I have thought about what you said last time. We will plant whatever you tell us to plant. If you let us choose, we will plant the same things as Nanxi Village. We are all good at it."
Yang Xiangwei heard the call from Village Chief Tong Na and heard his words as soon as she arrived. She was not surprised at all. After all, sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes are things that do not exist in this world. They are all high-yield crops. No matter which dynasty it was in which people were hungry and clothed, no one could refuse them.
What’s more, this world is suffering from famine.
Yang Xiangwei said, "Okay, we'll give you sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn as staple food, but the varieties are a little different from those in Yilan Village. You can trade them when there's a good harvest. In addition, we'll plant kiwis outside the village, and each family will get a chestnut tree and a peach tree."
Kiwi fruit has thorns, so its attack power is stronger and it is more effective to use it to guard the village. Plus, kiwi is a kind of fruit, and they can occasionally supplement their diet with some fruit.
We have persimmons over there and peaches over here, and we can use them for trading.
As for chestnuts...
Chestnuts also have a certain sense of fillingness and are durable, so they can make up for their food gaps. If they have a good harvest in the future, chestnuts can be used as snacks to make candied chestnuts, roasted chestnuts or chestnut pastries.
Yang Xiangwei really considered them in every way.
"Thank you, Lord Mountain God!"
"Lord Mountain God has great fortune and may live as long as the heaven and earth!"
Village chief Tong Na knelt down respectfully and came out of the mountain god temple. He told everyone the good news that day and asked every household to go to the mountain god temple to receive their gifts.
Everyone was happy.
"That's great! We can grow sweet potatoes in our village now! I heard from people in Yilan Village that sweet potatoes are delicious and sweet!"
"Yes, I've eaten it. It smells delicious when it's roasted. But I heard you can't eat too much of it. It will cause you to fart and have heartburn."
"It's good enough to have something to eat, but you also fart? If you want to fart, just do it. Don't you fart when you eat beans?"
“Hahahahahaha…”
A group of people burst into laughter.
Because these are things that Yilan Village has experienced, many people have already asked Yilan Village about it. Therefore, after getting the seeds of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, chestnuts, peaches, kiwis, etc., they already knew how to plant them before Village Chief Tong Na even explained the planting methods.
But the only problem is that their incense may not be enough.
"Let's go to Yilan Village and borrow some. When we have more incense ashes, we can return them."
…
When the village chief Wumu heard about what happened in Nanxi Village, he was also happy for Nanxi Village. Now we have a mountain temple and a water source, and soon there will be food. Life is becoming more and more hopeful.
Village Chief Wu Mu reminded Village Chief Tong Na that although Lord Kiwi was a monster, he had a very good temper and would not get angry unless he offended him.
However, they cannot "bully" Mr. Kiwi just because he has a good temper.
After all, goblins are goblins. If they really get angry, ordinary people like them can't bear it.
"I know! Who would bully the goblins when he has nothing to do? He is not mentally ill!" Village chief Tong Na waved his hands, thinking that Village chief Wumu was just worrying too much. How could such a thing happen?
When Lord Kiwi showed his power that day, how many people in the village didn't see it?
You have to be brave to "bully" Mr. Kiwi.
"I'm just worried that someone in your village might get confused... Have you forgotten that Sun Dashan and his son from your village are still in our village."
Upon hearing about Sun Dashan and his son, Village Chief Tong Na immediately distanced himself from the matter: "I have already expelled them from the village. They are not from our village at all. Don't talk nonsense. You are kind-hearted and keep them in your village. That is your business and has nothing to do with me."
joke!
They are from their own village, how could he not know the character of the Sun family?
Now Old Sun and his wife are dead, but their son and grandson are still alive.
Sun Dapang is okay, he is still a child, but Sun Dashan’s vision of people is not very good, it feels creepy.
He also reminded the village chief of Wumu that it is okay to be kind, but you also have to consider the person and not help everyone, otherwise you will easily be bitten by wolves.
Wumu Village Chief: "What should I do? Kick them out? I can ignore Sun Dashan, he is an adult, but Sun Dapang is still a child. You can't blame the child for the mistakes made by adults, right?"
Well, Village Chief Tong Na couldn’t respond to this.
Sun Dapang is innocent. If his father were gone, they in Nanxi Village could take him back to raise him, but his father is still alive...
Forget it. It feels like a poisonous snake and he can't defend himself against it.
