After collecting more than a dozen new medicinal materials, Jiang Huaixu's points exceeded five million.
Five million points can't buy many things in the interstellar mall, but it is a huge sum of money in the modern mall. She just wants to run a tofu workshop and can't use the points for the time being. This time she plans to plant soybeans in most of the planting space and plant some fruits in the remaining small part to see how it goes.
Just save up the points slowly for now, they may come in handy someday.
After making plans in his mind, Jiang Huaixu walked out of the house. The villagers were still busy in the yard.
Maybe it’s because their yard is big, so even if each family has cleaned it up almost the same, the main work is still done here.
Ever since Jiang Zhengmao hinted last night at the idea of paying the workers, the villagers' spirits have improved a lot and they are full of energy. They always greet her when they see her.
After responding to each question, Jiang Huaixu called Fu Tuan and took a shortcut to the northernmost part of Jiuxi Village, where two collapsed houses stood. She removed the pile of dirt and clods of earth from the millstones in her space. She also collected some large clods of earth into her space and poured them onto the millstones as camouflage.
After doing all this, she stood in the distance and looked at it again. It was hidden by the withered weeds and could not be seen at all without careful observation.
She clapped her hands and ran to several empty houses, stuffing things into every nook and cranny. After clearing out all the clutter in the space, it was time for dinner.
She returned home covered in dust. The villagers had all gone home to eat. There was no one left in the yard, but the sound of talking could be heard in the house.
"Little sister, why is your face so dirty?" Jiang Dalang asked Jiang Huaixu while standing at the kitchen door, holding a plate of freshly fried, hot cabbage in his hand.
Jiang Huaixu twitched her nose, and the fragrance made her stomach growl.
"Brother, I found some empty houses in the village that still have a lot of useful things. I'll ask someone to search them later."
"Okay, come wash up and eat. We're having a reunion dinner with my uncle's family and my second grandfather's family."
“Yeah.”
Qian Xiuzhu came out of the kitchen and handed the cloth to Jiang Huaixu, "Is it ready?"
Jiang Huaixu nodded as he brushed the dust off his body with a cloth, "I can try it this afternoon."
Seeing her daughter so confident, Qian Xiuzhu stopped asking questions and went to serve the dishes.
Carrying two bowls of dry rice to the dining table, Jiang Huaixu found that the vegetables, meat and eggs he bought yesterday were all on the table.
The three families borrowed money from the villagers and barely managed to put together two tables for dining, one for men and one for women.
There were seven or eight dishes on the table. Some were from the menu that Jiang Huaixu had memorized to Zheng Li Niang, while others were fresh combinations that Zheng Li Niang had made herself, such as stir-fried tomatoes with shredded radish.
The corner of Jiang Huaixu's mouth twitched. To her, this was truly a dark dish, even though she had never tasted it before.
At this time, Zheng Li Niang also came to the table with food and whispered to Jiang Huaixu, "Little sister, what is that red thing? It doesn't taste very sweet or sour to me. It tastes good raw, but not very good when stir-fried."
"That's called tomato, it's something imported. It's usually fried with eggs, but it's also delicious when cut into pieces and sprinkled with sugar. It can also be used to make various soups. Sister-in-law, you can try it next time."
Zheng Li Niang's face was filled with heartache. "Outsiders are definitely expensive. What a pity. I couldn't find you just now."
Jiang Huaixu advised her, "If no one eats them, I'll tell you how much I paid for the tomatoes, and I guarantee there won't be any left."
Farmers are used to being frugal, and having just escaped a famine, they've experienced all sorts of hardships. What's the big deal about stir-fried tomatoes and shredded radish?
Zheng Li Niang burst out laughing and said angrily, "You are the only one with so many tricks up your sleeve."
Halfway through the meal, before Jiang Huaixu could tell them the price of the tomatoes, the dishes on the table were gone.
Jiang Zhengmao put down his chopsticks and said with emotion: "Li Niang's cooking is really good. Even the soup tastes better than her aunt's."
Zhao Chunfang turned her head and rolled her eyes at Jiang Zhengmao. "Who wouldn't say Li Niang's cooking is good after trying it? Do you need me to say that?"
"You bitch!" Jiang Zhengmao said helplessly, "I'm saying that our village will eat from the same pot in the future. If Li Niang cooks for us, won't anyone refuse?"
"Have you decided on Li Niang?" asked the second grandfather.
Jiang Zhengmao nodded. "Erlang has been settling accounts with me since last night, and has forgotten everything else. Starting tomorrow, we'll eat from a big pot. We've already bought three big pots, so we can just boil them and use them."
"How do you buy wasteland?" Second Grandfather asked, "Isn't it one ounce of silver per mu?"
"Yes, I originally thought that we could each contribute our own money, and whoever could reclaim more wasteland would buy as much land. Erlang said that this way we might as well not eat from the same pot, and I think so too..."
Jiang Huaixu listened to their enthusiastic discussion, and came out of the house with his sisters, Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Zhou.
"Third brother, where is my cloth bag?"
"I hid it. I'll go get it."
Jiang Sanlang hid at the door like a thief and looked out before walking into the house.
"Little sister, tell me how much money I got from selling the agarwood." Jiang Wei had known for a long time that the two had sold the agarwood, but she had been holding back and not asking.
"More than ninety taels of silver."
"How much?" Jiang Fu suspected she had misheard and repeated, "More than ninety taels of silver?"
"Well, each person can get more than ten taels."
Before anyone could express their feelings, Jiang Boliang called out to Jiang Sanlang, who was tiptoeing around in the room.
"Sanlang, you are a thief in your own home?"
"Dad, I'm going to get something... Aren't I afraid of disturbing you?"
"We're discussing something, why don't you sit down and listen..."
Jiang Sanlang's heart was filled with alarm, and he immediately said, "Dad, my stomach hurts!"
