The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

When Old Lady Wang heard what Qian Yongye said, she looked at Xiaomi and said to Qian Yongye, "It wasn't me who dug it up, it was my dear boy who dug it up."

Qian Yongye also looked at Xiaomi. "My dear, where did you dig this out? This is edible. With this, we can survive for many more days.

"My dear, take us there, please?"

Qian Yongye half squatted down and faced Xiaomi.

The desire for food revealed in their eyes was the hope for the whole village.

Although every household in the village still has food, it is definitely not enough for those fleeing the famine. If we find more food now, fewer people will starve to death in the future.

Qian Yongye is not a bookworm who only knows how to read books of sages. He understands this principle better than anyone else.

Xiaomi: "It's in the pond over there, dug out from the mud. I'm not strong enough, so I could only dig out this section. The rest is broken. I'll take you there."

Qian Yongye was dragged by Xiaomi towards the pond. On the way, he asked Goudan, who was following him, to call the clan leader over as well.

Goudan didn’t know where to find Xiaomi after calling the clan leader.

Daya hurriedly said, "Goudan, you follow Guaibao, I'm going to find the clan leader. I know where the pond is." After that, she ran towards the clan leader.

Daya ran to the clan leader in one breath. Without even catching her breath, she said, "Grandpa clan leader, Brother Yongye wants you to come over. He said there's food in the pond. There's Yu Linglong."

Daya was panting as she spoke. After hearing this, Chief Qian stood up instantly and walked out without even taking his cane.

After walking a few steps, he turned back and called Daya. He said with full energy: "Girl, hurry up and take your clan leader grandpa over. Where is he?"

Daya chased after Chief Qian again, and the two ran towards the pond together.

The youngest son of Chief Qian, the boss with a big mouth, Qian Youliang.

Qian Youliang: "Oh my goodness. Big brother, our father ran away too fast."

Qian Yougen ignored him and ran to chase after the chieftain. He was really afraid that his father would get hurt. If that happened, his mother would definitely beat him to death.

Chief Qian is the most respected person in Lotus Village and he is also almost the oldest.

In Lotus Village, the clan leader’s words are more effective than those of the village head.

You know, the patriarch has the ability to expel people from the tribe.

Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, being exterminated would be a huge matter.

Chief Qian is now sixty years old. When the average life expectancy is forty-five, sixty is already a very old age.

Usually, Chief Qian always carried a cane in his hand and walked shakily. His favorite thing to do was to lie on the recliner made by Qian Yougen and bask in the sun.

This time he actually ran. You can imagine how excited he was.

When Daya brought Chief Qian and Qian Yougen to the pond.

Qian Yongye had taken off his shoes, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, and was groping in the mud.

There were also a few lotus roots covered in mud placed next to it.

Qian Yongye saw the clan leader coming and came out of the pond. When he came out, he did not forget to pick up the lotus root node he had just pulled out.

"Uncle, look. This is Yu Linglong. It is edible. And it gives you a strong sense of fullness." Qian Yongye took the lotus root and showed it to Patriarch Qian.

Chief Qian took it and weighed it in his hand. It was quite substantial.

And the one in his hand was not cut off. It was as long as an adult's arm.

Chief Qian looked at the lotus root in his hand. His eyebrows were full of joy. Even his voice became lighter.

Chief Qian: "Okay, okay. Yongye, how much can there be in this pond?"

Qian Yongye didn't know. After all, this was only the second time he had seen Yu Linglong. The first time was when he went to Fucheng Township to try it, and a fellow student took him to eat it to celebrate.

The taste is amazing. After returning and reading the books, I learned that it is called Yulinglong. It is a rare plant. In the previous dynasty, it was specially presented to the palace as a tribute.

He could only shake his head and said, "Yongye doesn't know either. But it shouldn't be a small amount.

We’ll know once we dig it out together.”

Chief Qian immediately ordered Qian Yougen to go back and call for help, and try to dig out all the Yu Linglong before dark.

Because they would enter Xiaoqing Mountain early tomorrow morning. At this time, the villagers gathered at the foot of the mountain. Chief Qian simply asked them to move the camp here.

When everyone heard that there was food, they all ran over quickly with their belongings.

Old Lady Wang ran the fastest. She ran first, holding the pot. She didn't stop until she reached Xiaomi.

Chief Qian had already learned from Qian Yongye that it was Xiaomi who first discovered Yu Linglong, so he praised Old Lady Wang.

Chief Qian: "Wang, you are a good person. You have raised your children well. You are a good kid. We have good days ahead of us."

He touched Xiaomi's head and took out a dried sweet potato from his pocket and handed it to Xiaomi. He said to Xiaomi, "My dear, take it and eat it."

Don't underestimate this dried sweet potato. Some people put a few dried sweet potatoes in a meal. Boil them in water and add some wild vegetables. That's a meal.

Xiaomi took the dried sweet potato obediently, said "Thank you, Grandpa, the clan leader" again, and then ran to watch the villagers dig Yu Linglong.

The villagers were all digging for jade in the pond. After Qian Yongye's explanation, they all knew that it was Xiaomi who found it first. They all smiled at Xiaomi. Some women even gave Xiaomi a handful of dried dates, a dried radish, and a handful of peanuts.

When Xiaomi found Old Lady Wang, her clothes were filled with food sent by the villagers as a token of gratitude.

When Old Lady Wang saw this, she quickly took out everything from Xiaomi's arms and put them into the bag containing grain.

Then he hugged Xiaomi and kissed her again and again, saying, "Oh my, your good baby is so cute. Good babies are the best. Let me kiss you again. Mum mum."

After the kiss, he pulled Xiaomi to squat and whispered, "Guaibao has done a great job today. Grandma will cook meat porridge for you tonight."

Xiaomi laughed along. "Okay. Let's drink together."

Old Lady Wang originally wanted to cook meat porridge for Xiaomi alone. The others could just have the black noodle porridge.

After all, they don't grow rice here, they only grow soybeans and wheat.

I usually eat bean rice. Bean rice is made by grinding soybeans or peas with a grinding wheel. When eating, just add water to the pot and cook it.

The purpose of crushing is to cook faster. After all, firewood also requires physical strength to carry down from the mountain.

In the eyes of Old Lady Wang, saving energy means saving food.

Or eat some brown rice. This brown rice is not the rice with the husk removed after the rice is harvested. It is sorghum rice.

Put the mature sorghum in the sun to dry. When it is dried to a certain degree, beat it with a stick. Finally, rub it with your hands a few times. The sorghum is very hard. You can't rub it off.

The shell is also kept on purpose. This way, the feeling of filling the stomach is stronger. When eating, cook it together with the shell. Cook it into brown rice or brown rice porridge.
