Su Nanxi slapped his forehead, sighing, "Oh dear, I forgot that carrots probably didn't exist in ancient times!"
wrong!
She remembered seeing them on the mountain, which meant that carrots had already appeared here, perhaps just under different names.
She was very excited when she discovered it, and even pulled one out to confirm it, but it was still small, so she gave up the idea of pulling it back.
But how is she supposed to describe it now?
Yellow carrot?
This seems to be more accurate; you can probably tell from the colors.
After thinking for a while, Madam Qin and Madam Zhao suddenly exclaimed happily, "Is it a red radish? Like a white radish, but not white, it's a bit reddish."
Qin also remembered and clapped her hands, "That's right! There is a plant called red radish! We used to grow it, but it's hard for it to grow big. It only grows to the size of a thumb and then stops growing. It takes a long time to grow, so we don't like to grow it anymore."
Su Nanxi wasn't sure if it was the same thing she was talking about; carrots seem to have many names!
Grandma Mo came over and asked, "What are you talking about? You're all so excited!"
Seeing that Old Madam Mo had become her savior, Zhao quickly pulled her aside and asked, "Mother, do we have any other name for the kind of carrots we used to grow?"
Grandma Mo didn't know why she asked this, but she still answered, "It came from outside, it's not originally from our area, and the name was given to it by everyone later. There are quite a few names. At first it was called something like carrot, but people couldn't remember it, so they just changed it. Some called it red carrot, some called it yellow carrot, and some called it root vegetable. They just called it whatever was easy to remember. Why are you researching this?"
Upon hearing this, Qin and Zhao exchanged a glance and exclaimed happily, leaving Old Lady Mo completely bewildered.
She didn't seem to say anything, so why are these two so excited?
Qin said happily to Old Madam Mo, "Mother, you've done us a huge favor! Thank you so much, Mother!"
Grandma Mo was even more confused. What was going on here? Could someone explain this to her?
Qin and Zhao went to prepare things excitedly, so Mo Qinghe had to explain.
Grandma Mo was overjoyed to hear this and slapped her thigh, "That's great news! I'll go help with the preparations too. It'll be hard on the mute girl from now on."
Turning to Su Nanxi, he said, "Mute mother, you'll have to work hard for a while. Once your two sisters-in-law have learned how to cook it, they can cook it themselves!"
It wasn't that hard work; so many people were preparing the ingredients, she just had to lift a finger.
Grandma Mo was extremely satisfied and gratified. She had truly found the right daughter-in-law! She must have been sent by heaven to help the Mo family live a better life!
Grandma Mo walked a few steps with a cheerful smile, then suddenly turned back. "Mute Auntie, we might not be able to find the corn in the ingredients list. The ones in the field were only recently planted and haven't been picked yet! You've been there before, so you must know where it is. Tell us, and we'll go pick it. What do you think?"
Su Nanxi paused; she had almost forgotten about this!
This corn is now only for her to pick!
Then she'll be in charge of picking corn!
Grandma Mo had no objection. "Alright, you can pick them first, pile them up, and we'll pick them back later."
After saying that, Grandma Mo left happily to prepare the ingredients!
Su Nanxi's lips twitched. They were all so excited!
Mo Qinghe found her appearance amusing and actually laughed.
Su Nanxi tilted her head, glanced at him, and rolled her eyes without any regard for her image.
I'll teach you to laugh!
I'm rolling my eyes at you!
Mo Qinghe laughed even harder, took her hand and squeezed it a few times.
Su Nanxi took a bunch of dolls to the mountains. The sun was quite hot, but their excitement was even hotter!
Upon hearing that they were going to pick corn, they all ran to get their baskets without saying a word, slung their little satchels over their shoulders, and stomped out of their homes!
Su Nanxi was still the one following at the very back!
Tsk! If you didn't know better, you'd think these kids knew where to pick corn!
But Su Nanxi definitely wouldn't let them pick any on the spot, because there were simply no ones to pick!
She released the rabbit to stop the children, and then went off alone to "pick corn".
A little while later, she came out carrying a basket of corn on her back and told the children to stay where they were and guard the basket while she returned.
Su Nanxi emptied her basket and went to pick more, going back and forth several times, leaving a large pile of corn cobs on the ground.
The Qin and Zhao families picked mushrooms and wood ear fungus, and even went out of their way to dig up carrots.
Those carrots were something only the two of them could find.
It wasn't planted intentionally, but it's as if people deliberately sowed the seeds.
The Mo family used to grow carrots, but they stopped later. On a whim, Qin scattered the seeds on the mountain and then left them to their own devices.
When I went to take a look, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the area was covered with carrots!
The two of them picked the larger ones, filling half a basket.
Su Nanxi took a look and exclaimed, "Wow, it's not too small!"
Nature's gifts are truly wonderful!
No fertilizer needed, you can harvest directly, just thinking about it makes me happy!
The Qin and Zhao families were also very happy. Seeing such a large pile of corn cobs, they laughed like children and almost danced with joy.
Because what they saw was not corn, but copper coins, a pile of copper coins on the ground!
So they put down their baskets and hampers and started filling them with all their might!
Mo Laoda and Mo Laoer were also called to help. They first dug up a bamboo shoot and placed it by the roadside before going to find Su Nanxi and his group.
Before long, the group returned with a bountiful harvest.
Su Nanxi first piled the necessary ingredients aside, and then asked them to help her wash and chop the ingredients. She demonstrated how to chop them.
Everyone cooperated very well, actively participated, and helped out.
Of course, this did not include Mo Yunmei, but Mo Yunmei was still forced to work with everyone, whether she liked it or not, she had to help.
Once everything was ready, only Qin and Zhao were allowed to watch Su Nanxi cook; everyone else, especially Mo Yunmei, was asked to stay away from the kitchen.
Grandma Mo sat on a stool by the kitchen door, not allowing Mo Yunmei to get close, keeping a close watch on her.
There was no other way. In Old Lady Mo's view, this was the recipe for their family business, and it couldn't be leaked or allowed to be stolen by suspicious people, especially Mo Yunmei, who had a criminal record!
Mo Yunmei did want to go in and take a look. Ever since she realized that the Mo family would become rich, she had become much more shrewd and knew how to think about herself and seek benefits for herself.
Look, the family business is doing quite well. If she learns and masters it, she'll have a skill to rely on in the future, so she won't have to live a miserable life. If all else fails, she can sell her family and make a lot of money!
She planned to take over the household chores for her own use, which could be used as part of her dowry, so she became much more proactive and often liked to get close to them.
However, Old Lady Mo understood all of this clearly.
"Mom, why won't you let me learn some of the household chores?"
