The next morning, County Magistrate Xu got up early. He had to go to Kaoshan Village early. He didn't know what idea Shen Ping had come up with.

If I had been worried because it didn't rain some time ago, I would have been even more worried now that it has rained recently, because I can see that the rain has fallen and the ground is flooded, but the seeds have become the biggest problem.

There has been no response from the imperial court yet. As a senior official, he is powerless in this matter. The deep feeling of powerlessness drives him crazy.

"Sir, what do you think Madam Shen will come up with?" Captain Li was curious. It didn't rain before, but Madam Shen actually came up with the idea of ​​artificial rainfall.

The key point is that the rain has really started to fall, and it seems that it will not stop yet. He doesn't know what method Madam Shen will come up with. He is full of curiosity about this.

"We'll know once we get there!" Magistrate Xu said calmly. He also wanted to know what Shen Ping was up to.

After a quick rush, the two of them soon arrived at Kaoshan Village. Shen Ping was not surprised that the two of them came, but she did not expect that they would come so early. It was only a little after eight in the morning.

Shen Ping turned to Dadong and said, "Dadong, go and invite the village chief over."

"You two haven't had breakfast yet? That's great, let's have breakfast first." Sitting down, Shen Ping asked the servants to prepare breakfast.

It’s true, the two of them really didn’t have breakfast. They just got up and rushed over here.

Magistrate Xu handed Shen Ping the things prepared by Mrs. Dong, which were nothing more than some eggs and the like.

"Mrs. Xu is so thoughtful!" Shen Ping laughed.

At this time, County Magistrate Xu handed over another package and said unnaturally, "This is what my wife prepared for Miss Mo."

"Oh~"

Shen Ping suddenly realized. It was no wonder that County Magistrate Xu was embarrassed. After all, Miss Mo was not his wife yet. It was really difficult for him, the county magistrate, to humble himself and bring things over.

Shen Ping took it over: "Then I would like to thank you on behalf of my goddaughter."

The village chief had also arrived at this moment. When he heard that the county magistrate had arrived, he ignored everything else and just ran over.

"Hello, Lord Xu. I wonder what you are here for." Village Chief He bowed and saluted.

At this time, the servants had also prepared breakfast, steamed large white buns, boiled corn porridge, and fried some pickled vegetables.

Shen Ping arranged for them to have breakfast again, and County Magistrate Xu did not refuse. However, Village Chief He was a little embarrassed. He ate a bowl of corn porridge and did not move his chopsticks.

"Okay, let's get going without further ado." Shen Ping packed a few big steamed buns for each person as dry food, as they would definitely not be able to come back for a while.

Shen Ping looked up and down at Magistrate Xu. Seeing that she was wearing a long gown, she couldn't help but frowned: "Sir Xu, this dress doesn't work. You need to change."

As he said this, he went back to his room and got him a set of Dachun clothes. The two of them were not much different in height, so they could wear them.

County Magistrate Xu only now remembered that he had worn a set of Dachun's clothes last time and had not returned them. He felt a little embarrassed to wear another set this time.

But come to think of it, it would be inconvenient to go up the mountain in this long gown. There are so many thorns on the mountain, and it is very likely to get caught.

Everyone waited until County Magistrate Xu changed his clothes and got ready to set off.

Village Chief He didn't know what they were going to do this time, and he was confused. He asked indirect questions and only knew that Captain Li said they were going to look for food.

As if she saw his confusion, Shen Ping spoke up: "I found some food on this mountain, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to transport it back. I asked you to come here today just to let you check out the area and discuss a plan."

"Really? That's great!" Village Chief He laughed.

"It is indeed true, and the scale is not small. We can only transport all of them back. I estimate that each village can get a portion, which will solve the seed problem for everyone and provide some food and clothing."

In order to avoid others' attention and disrupting the plan, Shen Ping also entered Qingfeng Mountain from the backyard this time.

Everyone was excited thinking that there was a lot of food on the mountain. They saw some mushrooms along the way, so they picked them and threw them into their backpacks. Finally, they climbed to the top of the mountain in one go.

But everyone looked around along the way and didn't see any other food, which made them feel discouraged. They had almost reached the top of the mountain, but there was no sign of the food that Shen Ping had mentioned.

"Dachun Niang, didn't you say there was food? Why can't we see any?" The village chief was a little suspicious. Was Dachun Niang playing a trick on them?

"I'm not lying to you. It's just that we haven't reached our destination yet. We have to slide down." As she said that, Shen Ping took out a climbing rope, tied it to the crooked tree, and slid down first.

Seeing that Shen Ping and her family had gone down first, how could a grown man fall behind? Although the village chief was afraid, he still went down tremblingly.

It was dozens of meters high and looked very scary. The village chief closed his eyes and slid down the rope until his feet touched the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief. If it was deeper, he would have no strength left.

Looking at this strange place in front of him, the village chief also became curious. He asked himself why he had not discovered this place when he had been to Qingfeng Mountain more than once.

"Let's keep going, it's not far ahead!" Shen Ping turned around and said to them.

As he walked along the way, County Magistrate Xu felt that every cell in his body was singing. This place was indeed different, and there were many crops.

Look, those are all cassava, and there are peanuts and taro over there, and at the end is burnt taro.

Even though County Magistrate Xu had never farmed before, he could recognize that what Shen Ping said was right, and all of these things were indeed edible.

It was the village chief He who was stunned. He didn't know about other things, but he had seen the cassava that Shen Ping mentioned, and it was poisonous.

"You can't eat this, it's poisonous!" He Guang said seriously.

He was not lying. An old bachelor in the village had dug this thing and ate it before. After eating it, he felt numb all over, dizzy and had a swollen head, and then passed out.

Fortunately, his mother found out later and fed him feces to induce vomiting, so he saved his life. Later, the dog's mother took this thing and spread it around the village, and everyone knew that it was poisonous.

Thinking of this, he still felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, he came. Otherwise, if Shen Ping dug this thing back, the whole village would be in trouble.

"You're right, this thing is indeed poisonous!" Shen Ping nodded and said

I didn't expect that Dachunniang also knew about it, so why did she let them dig it? He Guang didn't understand.

Shen Ping glanced at the people present and said, "Yes, this thing is poisonous, but the toxicity is not that strong. It needs to be processed. Boil it in water first, and then soak it for a day. This way, the toxins can be removed and it can be used for consumption."

This is all thanks to Shen Ping's frequent video watching in the past. She knows that cassava must be processed in this way to be non-toxic and edible.
