"Sister, sister, we are back." Before Zheng Qingming's figure appeared, his voice came first.

When Zheng Xiaoman heard the sound, he ran out of the house.

As soon as she walked out of the yard, she saw Zhou Chunfeng and Zheng Qingming on the path, and she ran towards them.

Seeing the empty basins on the car, Zheng Xiaoman asked happily: "Mom, have you sold all the fish?"

Zhou Chunfeng smiled, "Well, the fish are selling very well today. Your brother and I sold all the fish not long after we entered the city."

Zheng Qingming also smiled, "Sister, my mother and I sold a lot of copper coins today. I will go and see if there are any more fish in the afternoon."

Zhou Chunfeng smiled, "Do you think that fish is cabbage? It's everywhere. Your sister happened to catch it today. Otherwise, the big fish in this river rarely swim to the shore."

Zheng Qingming certainly understood that such a good thing would not happen often, so he chuckled and said, "It's okay, I'll just go and take a look, and I won't be disappointed if it doesn't happen."

Several people pushed the cart into the yard, and the two younger ones also gathered around when they saw Zhou Chunfeng.

"mother."

Zhou Chunfeng patted the two children's heads and said, "Go play first, while mommy packs up."

The two little ones were very well behaved. They responded and went to play aside holding hands.

Zheng Xiaoman helped take the wooden basin off the car, and Zhou Chunfeng took the big bones she had bought to the kitchen.

Zheng Qingming rinsed the wooden basin with water and placed it in a cool place to dry. Then he wiped the beads of sweat from his head and sat in the yard to rest.

Zheng Xiaoman took a bowl of spiritual spring water and handed it to her. Zheng Qingming drank the water in the bowl in two gulps.

She poured another bowl for Zhou Chunfeng. Zhou Chunfeng was thirsty, so she drank it in a few gulps.

She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she felt less tired after drinking the water.

After packing up their things, several people entered the house. Zheng Dashan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his wife.

Zhou Chunfeng took out a purse from her bosom and poured out a pile of copper coins from it.

Zheng Dashan looked at the money on the kang in surprise, "So much money was sold?"

Zhou Chunfeng smiled and nodded, "Well, today's fish are still alive and kicking when they arrive in town, so they sell for a high price."

She stretched out her hand and counted the coins one by one, and Zheng Xiaoman also went over to help.

After the final count, their family sold a total of 1255 coins today.

She had ten cents on her this morning, not including the money for the bones.

This time Zhou Chunfeng was a little surprised, "Wow, I made so much money today. Alas, it's a pity that this is a one-time deal."

At that time, she was only concerned with collecting money and didn't even count how much she had collected.

"Xiao Man, help me find the hemp rope in the cupboard."

"Okay, mother."

Zheng Xiaoman climbed onto the kang, opened the kang cabinet and saw the hemp rope inside.

"Mother, here's the hemp rope for you."

Zhou Chunfeng took the hemp rope, counted out a hundred copper coins and strung them into a string.

Zheng Xiaoman helped his mother count the copper coins, and after counting out a hundred, he placed them in front of her.

Zhou Chunfeng put away the ten strings of copper coins and kept the remaining 255 coins for her family to spend.

In the afternoon, Zheng Chunhua came over and helped Zhou Chunfeng plant the vegetable plot in the yard.

Zheng Qingming took the simple fishing tools he made and went to the river to see if he could catch some more fish.

Zheng Xiaoman did not follow him. She planned to attract another batch of fish after a few days.

Otherwise, if she could catch so many fish every day, others would definitely be suspicious.

She planned to go into the mountains in the afternoon. She put on the backpack she had brought in the morning and said to Zhou Chunfeng, "Mom, I'm going to the back mountain to collect some pig grass."

Zhou Chunfeng raised her head from the ground and said, "Okay, go ahead. Don't go deep into the mountains."

"I know, mother."

She responded and walked towards the back mountain with the sickle in hand.

It turned out that the hunters who lived here often went up the mountain from here, and a small path leading up the mountain was trampled out here.

After entering the forest, Zheng Xiaoman clearly felt that the temperature inside was much lower than outside.

She walked up the mountain, digging up wild vegetables under the trees along the way.

Although wild vegetables are not as fresh as those in autumn, they are still delicious when stir-fried and used as mixed vegetables or stuffing.

There are quite a few kinds of wild vegetables in the back mountain. After walking here for a while, she dug up shepherd's purse, purslane, and many dandelions.

Dandelion is just dandelion, just with a different name.

She likes to use dandelions to make dumplings, and then mix them together with meat filling. It doesn’t taste bitter at all and has a very unique fragrance.

Dandelion can also be used to make pickles, which taste very good.

Moreover, dandelion can clear away heat and detoxify, and it is also very good to drink it in water after drying it.

In her previous life, when she just came out of the orphanage, she couldn't find a job and rented the cheapest house in a village in the suburbs.

At that time she didn't even have money to eat, so she followed her neighbor's older sister to dig wild vegetables everywhere.

During that period, she felt that her face turned green from eating wild vegetables.

Later, she became an apprentice and could eat three meals a day in a restaurant, which made things better.

Zheng Xiaoman was recalling things from his previous life in his mind, but his hands did not stop moving.

He dug up a large dandelion very skillfully, cleaned the soil off the roots and threw it into the backpack at the back.

Seeing that her backpack was almost full, she wiped the sweat from her head and sat down under a tree.

He took out the bowl he brought from home from the backpack, poured the space spring water into the bowl, drank it in one gulp, and the heat in his body dissipated a lot.

There was still a little water left in the bowl, so she poured it directly onto the grass beside her.

Seeing that it was still early, Zheng Xiaoman was not in a hurry to go back. He leaned against a big tree and continued to rest.

"Crash."

Suddenly, there was a sound of something moving in the low grass nearby.

Zheng Xiaoman was startled and raised the sickle in his hand vigilantly.

The grass here is not very tall, so it is impossible for large wild animals to enter. What she is most afraid of is that snakes will crawl out of it.

Non-venomous snakes are okay, but if they are poisonous, they are dangerous.

Zheng Xiaoman didn't dare to move, and waited quietly for the thing in the grass to reveal its true face.

Not long after, a pheasant with a red face and a long tail emerged from the grass.

Its head was searching around for something, and it didn't even notice such a big person squatting there.

Zheng Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was a pheasant, luckily it was not a snake.

Then her eyes lit up again. Oh, isn't this meat delivered to your door?

She kept her eyes fixed on the pheasant, waiting for it to come closer so that she could catch it.

The pheasant did not disappoint her expectations and walked to Zheng Xiaoman without even raising its head.

Finally finding the smell it had been looking for, the pheasant lowered its head and began to eat the weeds on the ground.

Zheng Xiaoman took a look and thought, isn’t that the place where she had just poured the spiritual spring water?

She almost forgot how attractive the spiritual spring water was to these animals, and then she felt a little scared.

Fortunately, she didn't splash much water just now, otherwise it would attract a big one and she would probably die here.
