"Found it, the grasshopper grass!"
Er Ya's voice and the system's voice sounded simultaneously.
What is that strange sound? Why can't Er Ya and Si Ya hear it?
Wan Shu was filled with doubt and unease, but she showed no sign of it on her face. She followed Er Ya's gaze downwards and saw a purslane with small yellow flowers not far from her feet.
"Grassroots greens taste much better than yellow goose greens."
Er Ya picked up the purslane and put it into the basket on her back, saying happily, "I'm so lucky to have found purslane as soon as I arrived."
Siya was also very happy: "Yes! We will definitely be able to dig up a lot of wild vegetables today. Mother, Second Sister, let's go a little further up the mountain. There will be more wild vegetables there, and maybe we can even find some wild fruits."
Wan Shu pretended to be tired and waved her hand: "No, Mother is tired. You two go upstairs, Mother will just dig here."
There are very few wild vegetables in this location, let alone wild fruits.
However, Er Ya and S Ya did not complain and agreed immediately. After all, they were already very happy that their mother was going out with them to dig for wild vegetables, and they dared not let their mother get tired.
The two sisters held hands and went up the mountain.
After Wan Shu saw them walk away, she searched around for a while and found several more purslane plants.
She tried to hold the purslane in her hand, and the mechanical voice rang in her mind again.
[Ding! Half a pound of pure, natural, pollution-free purslane has been detected!]
[Is pure, natural, pollution-free purslane available for sale at 26 yuan per jin (500g)?]
"Yes!" Wan Shu replied in her heart without hesitation.
The purslane in Wan Shu's hand vanished instantly, replaced by thirteen copper coins, or thirteen cash.
At the same time, a system panel appeared in Wan Shu's eyes.
This is a shopping interface similar to Pinduoduo, selling a wide variety of items, from food, medicine, jewelry, books to self-defense items, all at low prices.
A meat pie the size of a palm only costs three coins.
Wan Shu was starving and felt dizzy. She tried clicking to buy something, and three copper coins immediately disappeared from her hand, while a freshly baked sesame seed cake appeared out of thin air in her hand.
Wan Shu tentatively took a bite. The outer shell was crispy, and the filling inside was rich and juicy. It was so delicious that she almost bit her tongue off.
It wasn't that she was greedy, but rather that her body hadn't had any protein or fat for so long that she simply couldn't resist!
She practically wolfed down the sesame seed cake before she had the time to think about what this magical online store was.
It feels like a platform where you can sell and buy items across different dimensions.
She didn't know why the mall had chosen her, but since it had, she had to make good use of it!
A glint flashed in Wan Shu's eyes. She wasted no more time and continued digging for wild vegetables.
Besides purslane, she also found wild amaranth, yellow gooseweed, bracken fern...
The prices of wild vegetables were all roughly the same. She worked hard all afternoon and dug up a total of five catties of all kinds of wild vegetables, which she sold for more than 100 coins.
With money, one naturally needs to buy some grains and meat for the children in the mall to supplement their nutrition.
Actually, you can buy grain and meat in the county town now.
However, Qingshui Village is far from the county seat and is inconvenient to walk to, so people can only take an oxcart. And there is only one oxcart from Qingshui Village to the town each day, in the morning.
Moreover, it is currently a year of disaster, and prices are skyrocketing. Buying in the county town is far less cost-effective than buying in the mall.
——
Er Ya and Si Ya are having good luck today.
Er Ya dug up a whole basket full of wild vegetables, while Si Ya was very lucky to find a wild tree, climb up it and pick six wild fruits.
Siya counted on her fingers, beaming with delight: "One for Mother, one for Eldest Brother, one for Second Sister, one for Third Brother, one for Me, and one for Fifth Brother. That's just enough for each of us to get a wild fruit, and there are so many wild vegetables too. We're sure to fill our stomachs today!"
Er Ya was also very happy: "As expected, with Mother with us, our luck is good. I just don't know how much Mother dug up today."
Siya scratched her head: "It's Mother's first time digging for wild vegetables, she probably won't be able to dig up many."
As they were talking, Wan Shu's figure appeared before them.
Their gazes fell on Wan Shu's empty basket, and they sighed.
"Alas, as expected, Mother didn't find a single one."
"It's already a blessing that our mother came with us to dig for wild vegetables. It's okay if we don't find any. We should be content and not ask for more."
“I know, I’m just worried that Mother will be unhappy.”
Siya had a sudden inspiration: "Why don't we sneak over and secretly put some wild vegetables next to Mother's basket? So Mother can pick them up?"
Er Ya thought this idea was feasible. It was a bit fake, but as long as it made her mother happy, that was fine!
The two sisters cautiously approached Wan Shu, but before they could even touch her, Wan Shu suddenly turned around.
The two sisters were both startled, not by Wan Shu's actions, but because Wan Shu was holding a brightly colored rooster!
This rooster looks to weigh at least seven or eight pounds, plump and strong, and looks exceptionally delicious.
The two sisters couldn't help but swallow hard, and their voices became stammering.
"Oh, Mother...you...slurp...where did you get such a big chicken?"
"Slurp... Could it be that someone asked you to catch this for them, Mother?"
Seeing the two sisters' greedy expressions, which they couldn't even articulate clearly, Wan Shu felt both sorry for them and amused.
“This is not someone else’s chicken; my mother picked it up herself.”
Wan Shu began to lie without blinking: "As soon as you left, this rooster ran out. I had a lot of trouble catching it. In order to prevent it from getting away, I didn't even dig up a single wild vegetable."
