I'm not going to take out the drying mat today. I plan to wait until I finish cutting pig feed and come back to dry the medicinal herbs I picked in the deep mountains.
Seeing that it was almost time, I quickly picked up my basket and headed to the place where everyone usually cut pig feed.
Today, Yunxi carried an extra basket. She didn't plan to stay on the mountain for too long because there was still a lot of work to do at home.
So I took two baskets at once, and once both baskets were full, I carried them down the mountain together. Anyway, for me now, two baskets full wouldn't be very heavy.
On the way, I ran into Captain Yun Deguang. He had his brows furrowed, so I asked him curiously what was troubling him.
Unexpectedly, it was because it hadn't rained for almost a week that he was so anxious, worried that if it didn't rain for a long time, it would affect the harvest.
Yunxi felt that the brigade leader was worrying too much. It had only been a little over a week since it rained. How could it rain again so soon, let alone turn into a drought?
Using his fairy instincts, he stepped on the ground, took off his shoes, and walked barefoot on the floor, sensing the earth's energy beneath.
She thought it would take another five or six days for it to rain, and even if it rained after five or six days, it shouldn't affect the crops.
He comforted the captain, telling him that it might rain soon and there was no need to worry.
When Yunxi went up the mountain alone, she was thinking about the brigade leader's concerns about the drought, and suddenly an alarm went off in her mind.
It was as if a drought was imminent. Although she didn't know when the drought would come, Yunxi felt that a drought would definitely arrive, she just didn't know exactly when.
As a fairy, she still trusted her sixth sense. She originally thought she had stockpiled quite a lot of things, but if there was a drought, these things would definitely not be enough.
In particular, most of the villagers are related by blood or marriage, so if there is a drought, it is impossible to just stand by and watch them starve to death.
The peach tree spirit felt that being human was too difficult. It was much better to be a tree, where one person could eat their fill and the whole family could be fed. All they had to do was put their roots into the soil to absorb nutrients. Where would they have so many troubles?
After reaching the top of the mountain, we turned in a different direction and continued walking towards a remote area, not letting any wild vegetables we encountered along the way go to waste.
Anyway, right now everyone's vegetable gardens are harvesting a lot of vegetables, so wild vegetables from the mountains are dispensable to them.
Others rarely come to the mountain to pick wild vegetables because they can't finish all the vegetables at home.
Wild vegetables will easily become old and rotten if no one picks them. Rather than letting them slowly grow old and become inedible, it is better to collect them in advance.
By the time Yunxi found a place with a lot of pig feed, about 20 minutes had already passed.
Along the way, he collected all the wild vegetables he encountered into his spatial storage.
The space was already piled high with wild vegetables, and there were also some wild vegetables that hadn't been cleared before, so the quantity was quite large.
I feel that if all the wild vegetables in the space were dried into dried wild vegetables, it would weigh at least a thousand kilograms.
With such a large harvest at once, Yunxi wondered if she could gather even more wild vegetables if she went for a stroll in the deep mountains and forests.
Controlling the vines to cut pig feed, Yunxi placed both baskets aside and picked all the herbs she saw, storing them in her spatial storage.
She didn't even overlook common herbs like wild chrysanthemums and plantains.
Yunxi picked all the medicinal herbs. She believed that there were no useless herbs, only doctors who didn't know how to use them, so even the most common herbs would surely find buyers.
Not to mention that in a time when few people understand herbs, someone like myself who understands medicinal materials and how to process them is an absolute rare talent for those pharmacies.
The basket of pig feed was filled with vines in less than half an hour, and then it was stored directly in the space.
Xu felt that time was passing too quickly, and it would be too strange to go down the mountain carrying two baskets of pig feed like this. He decided to wait another half hour before going down the mountain.
However, as Yunxi wandered aimlessly in the mountains without paying attention to the path, she discovered another hawthorn tree.
However, this tree doesn't seem as big as the hawthorn tree I saw a couple of days ago; it looks like it's only recently grown.
There are only a few dozen fruits growing there, probably weighing less than ten pounds in total.
Pick the ripe, red fruits directly, and leave the green ones behind.
I wonder if the hawthorn vine I found a couple of days ago has ripened any of its green fruits.
I was thinking that I should definitely go and check on them in a couple of days, lest they all ripen and fall to the ground if no one picks them.
But I don't think so. There are so many children in the village, and they all have nothing to do but run around. There are all kinds of wild fruits to eat on the mountain, and now is the time when wild fruits are ripe in large quantities. There is never a shortage of naughty children in the mountains.
Maybe they got lucky and were discovered by them.
After picking all the hawthorns from this tree and all the other medicinal herbs she saw nearby, Yunxi decided to head down the mountain.
Yunxi really didn't know how much the medicinal herbs were being sold in pharmacies per kilogram.
She felt that if the price was too low, she wasn't prepared to earn this hard-earned money. She would rather hunt more game, whether selling it at the market or secretly, she could earn a good amount of money.
We already have enough medicinal herbs; we'll plan everything after we've sold them once and know their prices.
He took two baskets out of his spatial storage, carrying one on his back and holding the other in his hand, pretending to be struggling, and slowly walked down the mountain to the pig farm.
As soon as they arrived at the pig farm, Grandma Cheng saw them, which startled her. She quickly came to take the basket from Yunxi's hands.
She kept talking nonstop, "You silly girl, why did you bring so much down at once? If you can't carry it and fall, that would be a big deal. You're all alone now, so you can't be so careless. Next time, don't bring so much pig feed down the mountain at once. Take your time, there's no rush."
Although the tone was particularly urgent, the concern contained within it was also very obvious.
