Xu Qing was so excited she didn't know what to do!
Elsewhere in the villages, families were destroyed and people died, but they were all fine, all thanks to the landlord.
Now there are disaster victims everywhere, with no food, no water, and no shelter, and their employers are still sending them money!
"I can buy some grain, but not too much, to avoid attracting envy and being targeted. My main purpose in coming here this time is not to deliver silver, but to deliver the things on the cart."
This is called a potato. It's edible and delicious. Plant it at the end of August. The people I brought will teach you how to plant it and what precautions to take later. Pick a few skilled farmers and remember them well.
Most importantly, it can be harvested in four months, and about a month later, it should be enough to feed you all.” Bai Manshan was incredibly grateful that Shuiqing had discovered the potatoes, and that Qian'er had met Shuiqing's family by chance!
Otherwise, if he can't protect the fertile land of his estate, he probably won't be able to protect the two hundred or so people in front of him either.
In famine years, without food, everything is in vain; and in chaotic times, without people, nothing works.
Xu Qing was speechless, his mind filled with thoughts of how worthy his employer was!
"Dongjia Ni Ni"
Bai Manshan raised her hand to stop them: "Alright, the people who came with me haven't had dinner yet, go and make arrangements."
Xu Qing responded with an "Ah," and quickly led his men to make the arrangements.
Some started fires, some fetched water, and some cooked food.
Baijiazhuang was almost completely destroyed by the flood. Only through the efforts of everyone in the village was a clean and tidy piece of land managed to be cleared and houses built.
The vegetable garden was completely gone. When they went to Fish Back Mountain to escape the flood, they took the vegetable seeds with them, but they were still inedible after being sown.
The only good thing is that it's summer now, the vegetation is lush, and there are still plenty of wild grasses and vegetables on the mountains and in the fields. The women in the village cooked a porridge with the wild vegetables they found during the day and cracked a few eggs into it.
Seventy or eighty men, a few eggs barely tasted good, but this was the best food the people of Baijiazhuang could offer to their guests.
Everyone, including Bai Manshan, silently drank from their rough earthenware bowls.
The porridge was bland and tasteless; even the salt was used sparingly.
"Sigh, their life here is truly miserable. Compared to them, we were living like gods." Li Wu sighed deeply, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
The porridge my sister-in-law made for them contained not only crushed peanuts and sesame seeds, but also plenty of salt. Whether you brewed it or boiled it, it was incredibly flavorful.
The portions were very generous; he and his third brother ate their fill at every meal and estimated there would still be leftovers when they got home.
Holding the wild vegetable porridge, Xu Laosan sighed, "Who says otherwise? At least we have vegetables to eat, we don't have to eat wild vegetables."
Wild vegetables are coarse, and without oil or salt, they are hard to swallow. They are not like homegrown vegetables, which can be eaten after being boiled in water.
The wild vegetables in this bowl are no different from weeds. The people of Shanshui Village also eat wild vegetables and often dig them up, dry them, and keep them as winter vegetables. But they don't dig up the kind in this bowl. It can be seen that people here really don't care whether they taste good or not, as long as they can fill their stomachs.
