I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 231 Picnic

Baiyunxi put down the basket. She wanted to dig them all out, make a simple preparation and send them to the drugstore.

Sure enough, just as she thought, the isatis roots are big and have thick roots. After removing the withered stems and leaves, only the isatis roots are left, which is a whole basket. It looks like it weighs twenty or thirty kilograms, and she doesn’t know how much it can be made.

“Mom, what did you dig up?” Xiao Si looked at the roots in the basket and asked curiously.

“Isatis root is a kind of Chinese medicinal material that can clear away heat and detoxify, cool blood and soothe the throat. When the time comes, it will be sent to the drugstore together with the persimmon frost and sold. It should be able to exchange for a few liters of food.”

 She just doesn’t know the price, but one thing she knows is that Chinese medicinal materials are more expensive than food.

Xiaosi nodded, "Second sister-in-law said that once the yam tablets are made, they can be exchanged for money. We dug two baskets."

As he said that, Xiao Si pointed at the yams in the basket. The wild yams were spread out unsightly, and some were even distorted by stones. They were oddly shaped, but they must be of high value.

“That’s right, keep going, try to store the food before it snows, and have a good winter.” Baiyun Xi glanced at the sun above his head. After winter, the air suddenly dropped, and even if the sun came out, he couldn’t feel the heat.

“Don’t worry, Mom, we will definitely be able to earn enough food for the winter. My second brother said that after he repairs the roof, he will also go into the mountains with us to find food. With more people and strength, it will be no problem.”

As he said that, Xiaosi glanced in the direction of the mountain.

“He went back to find someone to go into the mountains with him. He heard that he could hunt prey by digging a few traps in the forest. Even hunting rabbits, pheasants, etc. is still good. It can also add food to the family during the Chinese New Year. ’

Bai Yunxi listened to Xiao Si’s thoughts and looked at him in surprise. This kid has an adventurous spirit.

"You are right, there is strength in numbers. We will definitely be able to solve our food ration problem. When spring comes next year, crops can be planted on the slopes of the Western and Eastern mountains. When the autumn harvest comes, we no longer have to worry about food."

 She fed several children in the family chicken soup one after another, and everyone was holding back their energy. Storing food for the winter was the first problem to be solved.

As Bai Yunxi said, if you find a piece of yam vine, you can be busy all day long.

Seeing the children busy and full of energy, Baiyunxi looked up at the sky, found an open place, cleaned up the surrounding weeds, dug a small pit, covered it with a layer of wet soil, and built Made a simple stove.

Bake the pancakes you brought over the fire, bury a few ready-made yams in the hot ashes, and wait until the pancakes are cooked and the yams will become glutinous.

After thinking for a moment, Baiyunxi took out a few more duck eggs and put them on the rack to bake. After a while, he heard the sound of the duck egg skin bursting.

When the egg white comes out, it solidifies directly when exposed to heat. Sprinkle with salt and continue baking until the duck egg skin is browned and the air is filled with the rich egg fragrance.

“The meal is ready, come and eat.” Baiyunxi found a few leaves and spread them on the ground, put the food on them, and called the children to come over.

Before setting off, Du Shi brought them a clay pot of water and simmered it by the fire, so that they could have a drink of hot water.

Hearing Baiyunxi’s greeting, several people packed their things and ran over, “Wow, it smells so good.”

Baiyunxi pulled out a few yams from the ashes, patted them clean, and put them on the leaves. When he saw Li's shining eyes, he couldn't help but laugh.
