Scavenging wasteland in the last days: I have fields, cattle and a villa

"Tell me, how much is this worth? Can it be exchanged for rice? And pasta? And meat?"

She wants to eat dumplings, braised pork, and white rice.

Those are the things people eat.

Lin Xiao's eyes were red with excitement. With slightly trembling hands, he took the ginseng over and examined it carefully. Then he saw a green mark behind the ginseng's butt.

It's actually green?

Can green be eaten? If it is ordinary food, it must be discarded.

But what if it’s ginseng?

This thing is originally medicine, a very rare medicinal material. Sometimes in order to save people, orange ginseng will not be thrown away, let alone green ginseng.

Although it suffers from a high degree of radiation, it is a genuine medicinal material.

"Green?"

But Jiang Yuan also saw it.

Green means it is barely edible. What a pity, it is not a healthy ginseng.

All in vain.

In an instant, her mood dropped from cloud to hell, and her whole body felt bad.

"Lin Xiao, it's a pity to lose it. How about I take it back and plant one?"

Nourished with spring water, if it becomes edible, this ginseng will be really valuable.

Do you have the guts?

Lin Xiao saw the troubled look on her face and smiled lightly.

"You can exchange it for rice without planting it, but the value of green ginseng is not high."

"Then I'll take it back and plant it. Give me half a month. If it doesn't change color after planting, we can sell it again."

Is the ginseng finally dug out valuable? She won't do it.

Lin Xiao felt helpless when he saw that she really believed that planting one would reduce radiation.

But she found the ginseng, so she naturally has the freedom to dispose of it.

"Okay, then take it back and dig some soil here."

With that said, he stepped forward to help, dug five kilograms of soil and packed it up to take back.

After the sun had wandered a little, they turned their backs to the direction of the sun and walked towards the east.

I circled back to the place where I found the chestnuts and continued picking them up.

Today’s harvest is simply not too much.

In the end, a full fifty kilograms of chestnuts were carried by Lin Xiao. Jiang Yuan treasured the ginseng and put it in her bag to protect it.

They had a good harvest today, so naturally they didn't dare to go back too late. Lin Xiao took her and ran towards home on a more remote path.

At nearly six o'clock, we arrived at the door of our house.

But no matter how careful he is, he can't avoid so many people, especially Lin Xiao's fifty kilograms of weight, which is too conspicuous.

If it is fifty pounds of food, if you save a little, it can be enough for a family of four for a month.

So when Grandma Jiang saw the silly girl she sold and her silly man returning home with a lot of money, she immediately became interested and hurriedly ran towards home.

At this time, Lin Xiao and Jiang Yuan knew nothing about this in the house.

And Jiang Yuan, just like offering a treasure, took out the ginseng she dug and showed it off in front of the two little carrot heads.

"Haven't you seen it? It's hard to find such a big ginseng. Have your brothers found it before?"

Jiang Yuan almost jumped up when she found ginseng.

"Jiang Yuan also discovered these chestnuts today."

Seeing her triumphant look, Lin Xiao couldn't help but add something.

Then Jiang Yuan put her hands on her waist and waited for the two children to praise her.

"Sister-in-law, you are so awesome. I want to be as capable as you when I grow up."

Lin Qian naturally didn't even think about it and stared at Jiang Yuan with bright eyes.

Lin Ran, who had always looked down on his silly sister-in-law, stopped talking.

Because she found ginseng, maybe her brother's disease can be cured... He stared at Jiang Yuan with his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It's still early. I'll go get some rice and come back. Is it okay for you to cook?"

Lin Xiao knew how much Jiang Yuan was hungry for rice, so he planned to let her eat it for breakfast tomorrow. Of course, he would go to the exchange while it was still dark.

He kept ten kilograms and carried away the remaining forty kilograms.

Jiang Yuan's cooking skills are average, but if they do the method of adding water, vegetable leaves, and nutrients, who can't do it? Who are you looking down on?

After she buried her beloved ginseng in a large ceramic pot and added water, she went to cook.

But Lin Ran, who didn't like to see her in the past, was already cooking. The chestnuts were shelled and boiled in a large iron pot. The mulberry leaves had been washed, and even the precious oil and salt had been removed from the cabinet. He took out a small portion and placed it on the stove.

"Didn't you say that oil and salt are very expensive and we can just eat them occasionally?"

This attitude change is really...

When she wanted to eat better before, he still turned his back on her.

"You have done a great job today and found so much food. You deserve it."

Lin Ran turned his head to one side awkwardly.

No, there's something fishy about it.

She subconsciously looked at Lin Qian, who usually liked her very much, but found that she also looked guilty and dared not look at her.

After all, a five-year-old child, no matter how mature he is, his mind is just like that. He can see clearly when he has thoughts.

"Tell me honestly, do you also want to eat chestnuts?"

Children are just greedy.

Jiang Yuan bent down, looking like she knew everything.

"Do not want to."

Unexpectedly, Lin Ran answered without blinking an eye, with a cold face.

It didn't look like he was lying at all, and Lin Qian nodded obediently.

"Sister-in-law, from now on I will give you the delicious food at home first. If you are not full, you can eat both my and my second brother's portions, but... can you agree to our small request?"

Lin Qian took her hand and started acting coquettishly.

"you say?"

And give her all the food? Such a big sacrifice? Aren't you afraid of starving to death?

In this apocalyptic world where there is no food in most of the world, what is worth giving up all the food for?

"Can the ginseng you found be given to my brother? He is seriously ill. The doctor said that he must use ginseng, deer antlers and other things to survive. I don't want my brother to die. As long as my sister-in-law agrees to give the ginseng to My elder brother eats, and my second brother and I will eat less in the future, and we will also listen to my sister-in-law."

Extend your life?

Jiang Yuan knew that Lin Xiao was in poor health now, but every time they went to the mountains to find food together, he was the one who protected her, carried the heavy objects, and did the rough work.

It made her forget that Lin Xiao was actually a patient. By the standards of five hundred years ago, he was considered to have terminal cancer, right?

After all, he is also her partner, and he is her only companion in this apocalyptic world.

Thinking of the man who never said a word but always treated her tenderly and considerately, and even a little bit indulgent, Jiang Yuan felt sad in her heart.

"What's the matter? After I plant it for fifteen days, I will give it to him to eat. From now on, I will give him all the ginseng I dig."

Although she felt that the so-called marriage was a farce, it was undeniable that she and them were dependent on each other and could not be separated at all.

So Lin Xiao is very important to her. Without him, the difficulty of her survival has skyrocketed, so she doesn't mind lending a helping hand to her life partner if conditions permit.

“Sister-in-law, do you know why people in the slums don’t grow vegetables near their homes?”

Plant again?

Lin Ran was speechless about Jiang Yuan's mysterious behavior.
