[Are you selling ancient wide-banded headbands, each weighing two taels of silver?]
Good heavens, an old headband can sell for such a high price?
Mo Qianchang had previously analyzed that, judging from some of the modern items in the mall, the era the mall connected to should be the modern era she lived in in her previous life. The reason why this headband could be sold for such a high price was probably because it was an antique in the modern era, so its value had increased.
Brilliant!
If that's the case, wouldn't she be able to get rich by exchanging more things with these ancient people?
Suppressing her excitement, Mo Qianshang handed the fishing net to the old lady.
Ji looked on with suspicion, not understanding why a tattered headband that no one wanted could excite Mo Qianshang so much.
Mo Qianshang, who had originally planned to disband the group when the time was right, now saw all the items on the villagers as treasures. In her eyes, the things that these people no longer wanted had turned into gleaming silver.
late at night.
Mo Qianshang exchanged her knife for a multi-functional tool knife in the mall, keeping it for self-defense.
Although she had the online store to rely on, it wasn't a panacea. She still had to be discreet when taking things, and she still needed to have some essential life skills. Fortunately, Mo Qianshang had received many missions that required her to carry out in the wild when she was a mercenary in her previous life, so she was quite proficient in some wilderness survival skills.
Unable to sleep, Mo Qianchang remembered that there were still many vines left over from when she made fishing nets. The children were also wearing straw sandals, but because they often traveled, the soles of the sandals were worn out. If their ankles were chafed or got dirty, they could become infected.
Hand-woven straw sandals, 5 coins per pair, are they for sale?
The price of straw sandals was much lower than Mo Qianchang had imagined.
Since it was a necessity, Mo Qianshang did not sell it, thinking that she might find an opportunity to exchange it with some people in the future. Besides, it was fine to keep such a consumable item for herself even if she didn't exchange it for money.
The next morning, Mo Qianshang and her four children continued their journey.
Follow the group forward, picking wild vegetables along the way. When no one is paying attention, send some to sell in the mall to save money, and keep the rest for dinner.
Mo Qianshang noticed with her sharp eyes that there were traces of creatures near several patches of grass. Based on her previous experience living in the wild jungle, she could tell that these traces were mostly made by pheasants. There might be a pheasant nest nearby, and she could even collect a couple of wild eggs.
"Wild game is good, and wild game is valuable!"
Thinking it over, Mo Qianshang kept an eye out for the area and unexpectedly found a pheasant's nest.
Mo Qianshang searched inside for a long time but only found five wild eggs. Considering that the hen wouldn't leave the nest for too long, Mo Qianshang and her four children squatted nearby and exchanged a slingshot from the shop.
"Coo coo coo"
There was a tremor in the grass.
Qin Zixuan, who was closest, pounced, startling the pheasant. It flapped its wings and flew more than three meters high, landing directly on a nearby low tree. With the chicken about to be taken away, Qin Zixuan hurriedly climbed up the tree.
Unexpectedly, Mo Qianshang discovered that Qin Zixuan was the most agile of the boys. She made a mental note of this and planned to teach him martial arts in her spare time so that he would also be able to protect his other family members.
Mo Qianshang drew her slingshot, her eyes sharp, and shot the pheasant down the next time it jumped.
"My chicken!" Qin Zixuan didn't care about anything else. He jumped down from the low tree and pounced on the wild chickens that were running around everywhere, afraid that someone would snatch them.
The pheasant struggled in Qin Zixuan's arms for a while, even pecking at him several times, but it was no match for the glutton's strength and was held down firmly by Qin Zixuan.
Qin Zixuan held the chicken and presented it to Mo Qianshang like a treasure: "Mother, Mother, we're having chicken tonight!"
Although the pheasant is thin, it's still meat.
Mo Qianshang took the pheasant and knocked it unconscious. A series of chicken-related dishes flashed through her mind. The little guy in front of her had turned from pink and white to black because of climbing trees to catch chickens. He was dirty like a little tabby cat, but he didn't care at all. His eyes were fixed on the chicken in Mo Qianshang's hand.
"You little glutton, I'll kill a chicken and let you have the first bite." Mo Qianshang said helplessly, reaching out to pinch Qin Zixuan's nose. Her hand was covered in mud, which startled her, and she suddenly realized the importance of hygiene and safety.
They had no fixed abode, eating and living in the mountains.
It's the rainy season now, and there are lots of mosquitoes and bacteria in the mountains. What if the children get sick if they don't bathe for so long?
They sit in the open air here. Although it often rains and there is a river, it doesn't matter since the eldest, second, and third children are all boys. But what about her and the youngest?
She hadn't thought about taking a bath before, so she didn't think much of it. But now that she had the thought, Mo Qianshang felt itchy all over and was extremely uncomfortable.
Finding a place to bathe is easy; a simple shed can be built by the river using rattan netting and wood. Shower gel can also be obtained through the space, but…
Mo Qianshang raised her eyes and looked at the group of men and women fleeing the famine. As a woman with four children, she was bound to be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.
Mo Qianshang was thinking as she processed the pheasant.
In order to let the children eat more meat, Mo Qianshang secretly replaced the two-pound pheasant with a five-pound fat chicken.
When pheasant is put into a pot and the water boils, it emits an enticing aroma even without any seasoning.
The four children gathered around the pot. Qin Zixuan, with his big, greedy eyes, stared intently at the pot. If it weren't for the pot being so hot on the fire, he would have wanted to hold it in his arms.
The slightly older Qin Heming and Qin Qingyu stood on either side, like two dutiful little guards.
Calculating the time, Mo Qianshang lifted the pot lid. The aroma that wafted out of the pot instantly excited her, and she swallowed hard.
"Mom, chicken, can we eat the chicken now?" Qin Zixuan hurriedly asked from the side. Mo Qianshang nodded and, as agreed at the beginning, scooped a piece of chicken breast from the pot for Qin Zixuan.
"Phew—" Qin Zixuan pouted and blew on the hot air, then impatiently stuffed it into her mouth. "Ouch, it's hot, so hot!"
The freshly cooked chicken breast scalded Qin Zixuan's face, making it turn bright red, but he refused to spit it out. He gritted his teeth and struggled against the scalding meat, tears welling up in his eyes. This made Mo Qianshang, who was standing next to him, cover her mouth and laugh, "What's the rush? It's already cooked, it won't fly away."
Qin Zixuan finally swallowed the piece of meat, and the way he stuck out his tongue to cool off looked like an adorable little dog.
While Mo Qianshang was enjoying herself, others were having a hard time. It was a whole pot of meat soup, and everyone who saw it was envious.
But given the previous incident where Liu Dashan stole Mo Qianshang's things and was caught, and then the things were divided up by everyone, no one dared to make any rash moves, fearing that if they acted now, they would be caught red-handed and suffer the consequences.
The most aggrieved of them all was Liu Dashan. He glared at his wife and daughter beside him and vented all his anger on them: "Two useless things!"
