They certainly knew that Gu Erniu's words made sense.
But it feels so good to be full.
If they could, they would never want to go hungry again.
However, thinking of their older sister who had almost starved to death, the two children secretly vowed that they would not eat so much next time.
"You guys stay home and wash the dishes and tidy up. I'm going out for a walk," Gu Lili said without answering Gu Erniu's question.
She decided to go out for a walk and see if there were any business opportunities that would allow her and her three siblings to never go hungry again.
As soon as you step outside, you are greeted by wheat stalks that have just sprouted to the length of chopsticks, and in the distance to the south, there are endless mountain ranges.
A stream meanders down from the mountains, dividing the fields in two, and flows eastward.
Gu Lili's gaze also turned eastward, where... it looked like the coastline.
She carefully searched through the original owner's memories, and there was indeed a sea there.
It was about four or five kilometers away from Gu Lili's home, which made Gu Lili quite excited.
Logically speaking, a place near the sea should have no shortage of salt, but Gu Lili's family doesn't have any salt at all.
Could it be that the people of this world don't know how to refine coarse salt and then refine it into fine salt?
That's a real business opportunity!
The water in the ocean is inexhaustible, so it's like a business with no capital!
However, it is said that in ancient times, the control over salt was quite strict, and it was generally controlled by the government, which prohibited the sale of private salt.
She needs to ask an adult about this carefully.
Even if we can't sell salt, the resources in the sea are still quite abundant.
Unfortunately, in the original owner's memory, it seems that she had never eaten any seafood.
Fortunately, it's not dark yet, so we can go to the beach to take a look.
Gu Lili hadn't walked far when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar-looking wild vegetable on the edge of the field.
Gu Lili looked closely and realized it was shepherd's purse.
At the same time, a mechanical voice appeared in her mind in surprise.
"Beep, wild shepherd's purse found! Wild shepherd's purse found!"
Gu Lili was overjoyed. Could it be a system brought by her time travel that could teach her to distinguish things?
She hurried forward, and since she hadn't brought any tools, she could only carefully pull up the shepherd's purse with her hands.
Unexpectedly, a transparent panel appeared in front of them.
Just as she was wondering what was going on, a voice came to her ear.
"Lili, out looking for wild vegetables?" Aunt Zhang happened to be passing by and greeted Gu Lili when she saw the wild vegetables in her hand.
Lili was a little stunned. "Ah...yes...yes."
Gu Lili was a little startled. She had only just discovered the system and hadn't even figured out how to use it yet, so how had someone found out about it?
Aunt Zhang remained calm and smiled, "Why are you stuttering now, child? There are many over there, go and look over there."
As Aunt Zhang spoke, she pointed south, indicating that Gu Lili should go look there.
After saying that, he picked up his hoe and went to his own field.
Gu Lili's heart finally settled down, followed by a pleasant surprise.
In other words, this system is only visible to oneself.
If others saw this empty panel in front of me, they would think I was a monster.
In order to understand the system, Gu Lili decided to go to the place Aunt Zhang pointed out.
Because there is no one there.
When Gu Lili arrived, she discovered that there was indeed a lot of shepherd's purse here.
While picking shepherd's purse, Gu Lili squatted down and put the shepherd's purse in her hand in front of her again.
Sure enough, the empty panel reappeared.
At the same time, the mechanical voice rang out.
"Beep, wild shepherd's purse, 4 coins per pound."
Gu Lili quickly glanced at the panel; the prices of the items listed were all in this currency.
One wen could roughly be converted into one yuan in modern times.
Because she saw that in the mall, a steamed bun cost one coin and a bottle of cola cost three yuan.
She also saw a trading window, which meant she could find items here and then sell them to the mall.
You can also use money to buy some modern items directly in the mall.
To verify her idea, Gu Lili squatted down and quickly searched for shepherd's purse. After finding about a pound of it, Gu Lili put the shepherd's purse in front of her again.
"Beep, wild shepherd's purse, one and a half jin in total, six coins in total, for sale?"
Gu Lili swallowed hard and said, "For sale."
The shepherd's purse in her hand vanished into thin air, and at the same time, six copper coins appeared in her hand.
Gu Lili's heart pounded instantly, and she quickly gripped the copper coin in her hand tightly.
She turned to look around, and after confirming that no one was around, she spent three yuan to buy a bottle of Coke from the system.
She almost cried when the Coke appeared in her hand.
This is truly an amazing system! With it, how could I possibly not survive in this strange world?
Gu Lili finished her cola and put the bottle back into the system for recycling.
The panel showed that fifty Coca-Cola bottles could be exchanged for two coins.
After finishing all this, Gu Lili saw that it was getting late, so she quickly picked some shepherd's purse and headed home.
As for the seaside, let's go check it out tomorrow after we go with Uncle Dazhu to exchange the land deeds.
When we got home, my younger brother and sister had already swept the yard clean and washed the dishes.
Gu Huanhuan took the shepherd's purse from Gu Lili's hand. "Wow, sister, you found shepherd's purse! I didn't have much when I went to look for it a few days ago."
As temperatures gradually rise, wild vegetables grow very quickly.
Gu Lili smiled and nodded, "Yes, we can go out and dig some up to eat tomorrow, so we won't just eat rice all the time."
Gu Sigou quickly brought over a stool for Gu Lili to sit down and rest.
Gu Lili sat down and carefully examined the thatched hut in front of her.
This house originally belonged to a family in the village who had no descendants. After they all left, it was left vacant.
After their family was "forced" to separate, Li Xihua brought them here to live.
The village head, seeing their pitiful state and that they were the orphans of a hero, decided to allocate the house to them.
At the time, he even asked his son, Dazhu, to help repair the roof.
Because they had no money, they could only use some straw to cover the roof.
In winter, the north wind howls, tearing a hole in the roof and letting in a constant stream of cold air.
The only window in the house was covered up by Aunt Zhang, who found some paper at home to help her.
Fortunately, it was freshly made and hadn't been damaged by the wind; otherwise, the mother and daughters would have been freezing.
The mother and her daughters squeezed together to sleep on one bed.
The only pot in the house was given to the second wife of the Gu family when they separated their property after the pot broke.
Li Xihua had been hoping that once spring arrived, there would be wild vegetables to eat.
Unfortunately, the few kilograms of grain she received from the Li family didn't last her long.
