Linjia Village.
Grandma Gongsun also began arranging for villagers to go out and buy grain.
Ever since the villagers learned that there might be a famine next year, they have been eager to fill their rice bins with grain as soon as possible.
"Grandpa, I heard that grain prices have gone up recently. We need to hurry up and buy some!"
"Let's stockpile the food and build houses in the mountains so we can live in peace! If things get chaotic, we'll still have somewhere to stay!"
"Quiet!" Old Mrs. Gongsun slammed her cane down.
“Of course we need to buy grain, but I’ve already contacted a grain merchant who will definitely be here within half a month! The grain there is definitely cheaper than the grain in the county town. If you want to buy together, just wait a little longer.”
"If you can't wait, you can go to the county town to buy some supplies as a backup, but remember what I said: when stockpiling supplies, bring the able-bodied men from the village with you, or go with Aunt An, and try not to buy them all at once..."
"Otherwise, if those unscrupulous merchants hear about it, they'll definitely raise your prices! They don't care whether ordinary people like us can survive!"
"Meet here three days from now, and each household must send at least one able-bodied person. We'll go up the mountain to build houses!"
After giving a few instructions, Old Madam Gongsun let the person leave.
The farmers had no objections to this; in fact, they were more than happy to accept it.
When it comes to the safest place during years of war and famine, it is of course the deep mountains!
During times of war, whenever they encounter rebel troops or civilians, they simply hide deep in the mountains. Which rebel would risk rushing in for the sake of a few ordinary farmers?
If they encounter a famine year, they can cultivate new fields in the mountains and live a self-sufficient life!
The group left full of energy, and Grandma Gongsun watched their departing figures, a rare smile appearing on her face.
"Mother, shall we go buy grain too?" Lin Xiu tugged at her mother's sleeve.
"The price of grain in the county town is too high; we can't afford it right now." Lin Anniang didn't feel too embarrassed; it was indeed the truth.
"Let's go make some money first!"
"Make money?" Both little girls' eyes lit up.
Lin Anniang continued to explain, "We only have eight taels of silver left, which is not enough for our future expenses. I want to go to the mountains to find some wild fruits and vegetables, make them into food, and sell them in the county town."
With two months to go before the dead of winter, she wanted to earn enough money and stockpile enough food before then.
Only with vats and vats of grain can one feel at ease, and even when farming in the mountains, one must have enough seeds.
They are truly penniless right now!
Since she's just wandering around in the mountains anyway, she can also collect some stones and cut down some trees from time to time to repair the old houses in the mountains.
"Okay, let's go together!" Lin Xiu was excited just thinking about it.
They're capable of making money too!
When the news reached Lin Feng, he also carried his sister out and said, "I'm going out to earn money too!"
Lin Feng wanted to help his mother, who stayed up late at home doing embroidery to earn more money.
And my younger sister is very happy about it too, so I think she's quite willing!
Since bringing two or four was the same as bringing them, Lin Anniang took the group of little ones with her.
With her leading the way, Ning Xiangqiao felt very reassured.
Before leaving, Lin Anniang suddenly handed the small wooden statue in her arms to Ning Xiangqiao.
"This is a wooden carving of the Mountain Goddess. You must carry it with you at all times. I suggest you go to Old Madam Gongsun's courtyard now to do some embroidery. What if Lin Genzhu comes back?"
She handed over the statue in her hand, also out of fear that Ning Xiangqiao might encounter some danger again.
Ning Xiangqiao smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will be very careful!"
She still needs to sculpt a golden statue of the Mountain Goddess, how could she risk her life?
After thinking for a moment, Ning Xiangqiao still took the embroidery she was carrying and came to the courtyard of Old Madam Gongsun.
Although she has healing abilities, she can't use them casually, and why does she have to get beaten up?
If Lin Genzhu has the guts, he should come over and beat up Old Madam Gongsun too!
Ning Xiangqiao thought this suggestion couldn't be better. She would come to see Grandma Gongsun whenever she was alone in the future!
Grandma Gongsun sneezed in the courtyard.
After receiving the blessing, Lin Feng's physical condition improved a lot. At least he wasn't out of breath much when climbing the mountain this time, and he could walk briskly even while carrying his younger sister.
"You really won't let me hold you?" Lin Anniang asked again.
Lin Feng shook his head repeatedly: "Auntie, I'm disturbing you, I'm disturbing you..."
Lin Feng only started speaking recently, and his speech is not very fluent; sometimes he suddenly stops talking.
Even so, Lin Anniang understood.
Feng Ge'er meant that he felt it was already a great disturbance to bring his sister along, and he couldn't let her get in his way any further.
Lin Anniang's expression warmed. Look what a good child he is! That Lin Genzhu is so lucky but doesn't know it, and he almost beat Xiang Niangzi to death!
If this guy hadn't gone out to fool around and hadn't come home yet, she would definitely have sneaked over in the middle of the night, put a sack over his head, and given him a good beating!
"It's okay, not to mention your sister, I can carry you on my back too!"
As she spoke, Lin Anniang picked up Lin Feng and his sister together.
Lin Feng: (⊙o⊙)
He didn't know where to put his hands, and then he saw the aunt carry her two daughters on her back again.
"Let's go!" Lin Anniang quickened her pace, flying past like a gust of wind.
Before long, they arrived at a grassy area and were put down.
Xiaolin Lu was laughing so hard she didn't want to get down.
Lin Feng blushed and hugged his younger sister.
"Don't go too far, stay in this area. I'm going to dig for wild vegetables and pick some berries."
Lin Anniang knows how to make many kinds of food, all of which she learned from her chef father. This time, she plans to make her father's best-known sour jujube cake and wild vegetable box.
The jujube cake made with the secret recipe is very appetizing and leaves a lasting impression. The wild vegetable box is even more delicious than meat, it's incredibly fragrant!
She plans to make the remaining wild vegetables into pickles, and various pickles can be stir-fried with snail meat, which is incredibly delicious!
Of course, we have to thank the Mountain Goddess. Without her blessing, we might not have made it through that night!
She expressed her gratitude while skillfully digging for wild vegetables.
On the other side, Yu Luo also heard the system's notification.
