The thought of the mountain full of money waiting for her to collect made Yunxi feel less aches and pains, and the weather no longer felt hot.
I felt incredibly energetic, and I quickly found a large patch of medicinal herbs at a good price. They were the kind of herbs you could sit there and dig at your leisure. I felt so glad I hadn't given up.
Of course, this positive feeling was only temporary. Two hours later, he was soaked in sweat again, feeling unbearably hot and humid, and he regretted it.
After eating iced juice, changing my clothes, and filling my stomach, I felt like I could do it again.
The whole day was filled with regret, giving up and then persevering. When the sun set and I was about to go home, I saw the huge pile of medicinal herbs in my room and felt glad that I had persevered.
I will absolutely not mention that I wanted to give up halfway through.
When I got home, I took a cold shower, and the heat all over my body disappeared instantly.
Thinking that I had only eaten a little something on the mountain today and had treated myself a bit too badly, I took out a pheasant and prepared to make myself some soup.
Wash the pot, light the fire, add water, throw in a few slices of ginger, then take out a cleaned pheasant from the space and put it in, cover the pot with the lid, and prepare to blanch it first.
Once the dirty foam floats to the surface, quickly remove it. After confirming that no more foam is rising, change the water and continue stewing.
Add ginger and garlic, a few drops of oil, and a good half pot of water.
Once you've added a few more large pieces of firewood to the stove, you don't need to worry about it anymore.
Let it simmer like this, and you can drink the soup after an hour and a half.
Before the soup is ready, take out all the medicinal herbs we dug up on the mountain today and sort them out.
Leave the roots where you should leave them, leave the leaves where you should leave them, and leave the stems where you should leave them.
It was so dirty that I washed it a bit, and then hung it outside to dry, using a tattered mat as a mat.
Considering there are still so many medicinal herbs in the space, why not take some time in a couple of days to go and sell a few sacks of them?
There are just too many medicinal herbs. If I don't make several trips, it feels like it will be a very difficult task to sell them all.
At worst, I can go to town tomorrow to sell the herbs before going up the mountain; it won't take up too much time.
Anyway, there's enough food in the space to last me a long time, so I'm not in a hurry to go up the mountain to find various things that can replace staple foods.
Even if they're gone, they can still find more. The deep mountains and forests are like their own base; they can go wherever they want, and nothing can stop them.
Although the outer areas may have been completely looted, there are definitely still places that haven't been discovered deep inside the mountains.
Last time I went into the deep mountains by myself, it took almost a week and I still couldn't see the end. Who knows how many mountains are in those deep mountains?
Now, there are probably only some old, unwanted wild vegetables left on the mountain. Apart from those who are preparing to hunt, the rest of the people will probably head towards the river.
Whether it's small fish or shrimp, once you bring them back and dry them, they'll at least make a dish when you eat them!
Yunxi wanted to help everyone. Although the matter of medicinal herbs had been spread, and every household could earn a little money, in times of famine, having food in hand was better than having money.
The trap I dug last time has already been filled in by my great-grandfather and his men. Otherwise, we could have used the same method to catch a few wild boars and improve everyone's lives.
If we made more trips, we could store some meat for each household, but unfortunately that method no longer works.
In the end, I really didn't want to make things difficult for myself or overthink it. Things will work themselves out. I'll just take it one step at a time.
After drying the medicinal herbs, I checked the sweet potato stalks on the drying mat. They were almost half-dry. If they were dried for another day, they would be completely dry. We could then collect them by tomorrow evening.
Wrap the drying mat around the sweet potato stalks and store it away; it will be easier to take them out together tomorrow when you're drying them.
Yunxi wondered if she should take advantage of the fact that there was still plenty of water in the river and store more water in her space in advance.
It feels like such a large area in the backyard has been left empty for two years without any plants, which is a real shame.
There are still a few months until winter, which is just enough time to plant another crop of cabbage and radishes. If all the cabbages and radishes are planted, we can harvest several thousand kilograms of cabbage and radishes.
At that time, we can survive for half a year just by eating cabbage and radishes.
The more I think about it, the more excited I get. I plan to make arrangements after I return from town tomorrow.
I smelled the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen, checked the time, and realized that more than an hour had passed; it was almost time to eat.
I left myself a bowl of meat and a bowl of soup, and then took out two steamed buns from my spatial storage. That should be enough for tonight.
The chicken soup was incredibly delicious. Even after I was full, I still felt like I had a little room in my stomach, so I drank another bowl of soup. Only then did I feel truly satisfied.
After eating and drinking my fill, I moved a stool and sat under the eaves of the living room, looking at the starry night outside, and thought how wonderful the environment was.
After resting for a while, I went back to the kitchen to clean up the dishes and tidy up the whole kitchen, then boiled water to prepare for a shower.
By the time I got into bed, it was already past 8 p.m.
Lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), shedding the fatigue of the day, she suddenly felt very lonely.
Yunxi felt she was being a bit too dramatic. She'd been doing just fine all these years, so why was she suddenly feeling lonely?
After thinking it over, I realized that it might be because Li Xingtang wasn't by my side that I had this illusion.
Although we weren't together before, we would at least visit each other every few days, and sometimes we were even inseparable every day. It's definitely different now.
I was feeling a bit restless tonight, and I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep, but I fell asleep in less than half an hour.
He had clearly overestimated Li Xingtang's importance in his heart.
I woke up very early the next morning, thinking that the shops that buy medicinal herbs probably wouldn't open that early, so I ate breakfast early and then took my hoe and went to the backyard.
There were only some scallions, ginger, and garlic in the backyard; not many other vegetables were planted. Since we used to grow vegetables often, the land wasn't difficult to dig.
We dug about halfway through, and it was almost eight o'clock, so we quickly locked the door and headed towards town.
This time, I sold four sacks of medicinal herbs, earning over 300 yuan. I didn't chat much with the shopkeeper or his grandson; I just said goodbye and left.
Zhang Feng's gaze was simply too obvious. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, the affection in his eyes was still palpable.
Before she got engaged, she might not have cared much, but now that she was engaged to Li Xingtang, she definitely wanted to give him enough security so that he wouldn't have to worry about his wife while he was defending the country.
