Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

The plants that can grow here in the mild season somewhat defy the rules of normal logic.

Just like the ginger that Shen Yao is holding in her hand right now, it obviously shouldn't grow so big, but the ginger in this field is at least the size of a palm.

Shen Yao found it strange, but ginger is a good thing. No matter what time it is, drinking a bowl of water boiled with ginger when it is cold can drive away the coldness in the body.

Bending down and grunting, Shen Yao dug out the small piece of ginger. In the end, she harvested ten kilograms of ginger.

On the other side, Song Ling and Shen Yu also collected different kinds of wild vegetables and put them into the baskets.

There are many kinds of wild vegetables here, and the edible parts are not limited to the stems and leaves, but also the roots buried underneath.

"mom"

Shen Yao waved her hand and called Song Ling, pointing at a cluster of yellow leaves, "Is this a wild potato?"

Song Ling had worked in a plantation at the base before, so she knew the shape of potato leaves. She pinched them in her hands and twisted them, and found that they were true!

"dig"

Song Ling took action, and the two of them pulled apart the withered stems and leaves, then dug down hard with hoes.

Suddenly, a nest of potatoes was dug out, the largest one was the size of a basketball, and the smallest was the size of a palm.

However, because they had been buried for too long, some of the potatoes had rotted, and some had obviously sprouted and were inedible. In the end, only two palm-sized potatoes were harvested, but they weighed about seven or eight kilograms.

Song Ling's eyes lit up and she continued to search around, and she actually found a few more.

Obviously, this was something that had fallen before and no one had collected it, so it had been buried in the soil for an entire cold season.

Shen Yu was also pulled over by Song Ling, and the three of them formed a circle around the area, intending to dig up all the potatoes and take them away.

During this time, they did not forget to put away the fish cages and fishing nets in the water. The three of them were very busy. When Shen Jiancheng arrived, they had already filled a small basket of potatoes.

This is a real bargain, even more difficult than winning the lottery.

After asking Shen Jiancheng to pack the potatoes into sacks and put them away, Song Ling was full of confidence and planned to continue wandering around to see if there were any other staple crops that had been missed.

Shen Yao had no hope for this. After all, other staple crops grown on the ground could not survive for more than a few months, and most of the staple crops grown underground had already rotted. It was really a matter of luck that she could find these potatoes. Otherwise, after a while, when the weather got warmer, these potatoes would only rot in the ground to fertilize the soil.

Shen Jiancheng's arrival gave them more confidence, and they harvested more fish from the fishing nets and fish cages by the river.

A lot of people gradually gathered around, all of them were jealous and wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Of course, they didn't dare to snatch it, but they still had good eyesight.

"Change Place"

Shen Jiancheng grabbed the indignant Shen Yu, and the father and son chose a new place to cast the net directly.

There are some reeds nearby. The newly sprouted reeds are good weaving materials, including mattresses at home and winnowing mats for drying clothes.

Shen Yao and Song Ling put the collected wild vegetables into a backpack and started cutting grass with machetes.

Maybe they were lucky today, there were traces of wild ducks living in the reeds. Although they didn't catch any live ducks, they did pick up a few wild duck eggs.

The green skin was only the size of a palm and felt warm to the touch. After the skin was smoothed and tested, two of them were low-grade mutations, and the remaining eight were all high-grade mutations.

"Take it back to the exchange center. A highly mutated wild duck egg is worth five points, which can buy four kilograms of rice."

Song Ling felt that she was very lucky today and would gain something no matter what she did.

If they continued like this every day, the family would surely be able to store enough food before the hot rainy season arrived.

"Mom, Dad and I will go over and take a look. Maybe there are some wild duck eggs in the reeds."

Shen Yu was jealous and wanted to join in the fun.

"No, you just take charge of catching the fish and go back to make fried fish for dinner today." Song Ling felt that it was rather dangerous in the reed marsh and did not dare to let the two of them go in.

You have to know that they were just wandering around outside when they were picking wild duck eggs.

Shen Yu secretly thought it was a pity and could only continue to focus on the fishing nets and fish cages by the river with Shen Jiancheng.

The fishing nets and fish cages had a good harvest. Even though there were many people coming to the river today, a circle of men and women with obviously bad intentions slowly gathered around the Shen family.

Although Shen Jiancheng looks fierce, he is a man who likes to make money through harmony. He held back Shen Yu who wanted to argue with him, and the father and son went to another place to continue fishing.

"dad"

Shen Yu felt aggrieved. He was not afraid of those skinny monkeys because he could fight five of them at once.

"It's a waste of time. Let's catch a few more fish," Shen Jiancheng said with a plan in mind. He pointed at the lively river fish and asked Shen Yu to speed up the inspection. "No one is more important than meat. Don't worry about it."

Shen Yu: ...

Not far away, Shen Yao stared motionlessly at the snake in front of her that was as thick as her wrist and covered in colorful colors.

She gasped. She had never expected that after the cold season, snakes would revive and she actually ran into a big treasure.

She didn't dare to catch it. Not only that, Shen Yao was also afraid that the snake would bite her. What if it was poisonous, she didn't have any antidote to take.

Slowly backing away, trying not to disturb the curled-up snake in front of her, Shen Yao pulled Song Ling and covered her mouth when she opened her mouth.

Song Ling:……? !!!

Song Ling was pulled back by Shen Yao until they were far away from the snake. Shen Yao then let go of Song Ling's wrist and told her about the snake.

"What are you doing? Go find your dad and your brother. Let's go back to the base."

There was a snake, and Song Ling's first reaction was to run. That was not something that ordinary people could deal with.

Shen Yao nodded twice, and the mother and daughter ran to the river with the half-full backpack. They then told the busy Shen Jiancheng and Shen Yu about the snake.

Shen Jiancheng reacted in the same way as Song Ling. They quickly put away the fishing nets and fish cages, then carried the sacks and backpacks and headed back with their family.

Whenever Shen Jiancheng met someone near the river on the road, he would mention that there was a snake ahead. As for whether other people believed it or not, it had nothing to do with them.

"Oh, I wonder if I can come again tomorrow?" Song Ling felt sorry for the Feng Shui land by the river, which had contributed a lot of food to them in the past few days.

"Just believe it. If the snake shows up and then hides, we can still come over."

Shen Jiancheng had no hope. This was a good time for snakes to come out at this time. He had found traces of snakes by the river, but at least they wouldn't come here frequently recently.

"We got home early today, luckily we dug a sack of potatoes," otherwise we would have lost money just on the cost of entering the base.

Song Ling felt bad that her points were useless, and thought that she should go to other places to pick wild vegetables when she had time. The small bamboo forest in the east of the city was a good choice, as was the small hill in the west of the city. She remembered that there was a pond with lotus roots growing in the north of the city... The more Song Ling thought about it, the more excited she felt, as these were all food.

Because the family of four came back early, there were not many people queuing at the entrance of the base.

Earn points to enter the city, walk home, and stay in the yard to process today's harvest.

The potatoes were put directly into the storage room, which was shaded and ventilated so there was no need to worry about them going bad. The wild vegetables picked were washed and then pickled by Song Ling with salt. As for river fish, they were either dried or made into salted fish for later consumption.

"We don't have enough salt at home, Mr. Shen, go to the exchange center and buy some.

By the way, I exchanged those wild duck eggs. There were no extra jars and cans at home, so I might as well buy some and put them on the cart..."

Song Ling was talking and Shen Jiancheng couldn't get a word in. When he came to his senses, the cart was already at his feet and the watch on his wrist had received a large amount of points.

Shen Jiancheng: ...

Shen Jiancheng wiped his face and turned away. The other three people in the family continued to work on their tasks, trying to finish the work before dark.

"Lao Song, Lao Song"

Outside the gate, a middle-aged woman with short hair waved to Song Ling.

Song Ling hurried over, and the two of them stood at the door and whispered for a long time before they stopped.

"Mom, what does Aunt Zhou want to talk to you about?" That was the Shen family's next-door neighbor. There were more people in their family than the Shen family, and there were also two pillars of the family whose genes had awakened.

However, because there are so many people and the Zhou family likes to make all kinds of noise, Shen Yao doesn't want to pay attention and usually doesn't get involved.

Song Ling groaned, "It's nothing, I just mentioned that it's not safe outside. Someone was bitten by a mosquito or snake today, and I heard it was pretty serious."

When you go out to scavenge, it's always incomplete without a few accidents. They encountered a snake by the river today, and complained to Lao Zhou in their hearts that he was making a fuss and was timid, but he dared to go to dangerous places every day.

Shen Yao said, "Let's wear something thicker when we go out tomorrow," and try to avoid being bitten through. However, this is a bit difficult, as mosquitoes and snakes are several times larger in size, and a strong bite can tear off a piece of flesh.

Song Ling nodded casually, obviously not taking Shen Yao's words to heart.

Shen Yao:......

Okay, I'm used to it. My own mother has always been like this anyway.

The fish in her hands had been washed and laid out, and Shen Yao cleaned the dirt off her body until Shen Jiancheng came back from outside pulling a cart.

A lot of things were bought, including the salt that Song Ling wanted and several jars and vats.

Shen Jiancheng wiped his face and whispered that they returned just in time, "Something happened by the river!"

problem occurs? !

"Is it related to the snake?" Song Ling asked, opening the bag of salt and rubbing it on the washed wild vegetables.

Shen Jiancheng nodded. "Two snakes as thick as thighs escaped and ate several people. The base patrol team has organized people to deal with them. I guess we can't go to the river for the next two days."

The harm caused by mutant beasts is far greater than that of ordinary wild beasts. Those snakes are as tall and strong as humans and can eat an adult in one bite.

The base was not sure how many such snakes were hiding by the river, so to be on the safe side, the riverside had to be closed.

Song Ling felt it was a pity, "Wouldn't the fish be wasted? What about the fish cages and fishing nets at home?" They were important tools for their family to earn food.

Shen Jiancheng signaled to Song Ling not to worry and told them that they could not go to the river in the south of the city. They could go to the small bamboo forest in the east of the city to dig bamboo.

Besides, the riverside will only be closed for a few days, and they can still catch them after the ban is lifted.

"Don't you always complain that there are not enough tools at home? It just so happens that the bamboos in the bamboo forest are growing well," and you can cut down a few and bring home some household utensils.

Song Ling thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth. "Well, then let's go to the small bamboo forest."

They decided where to go tomorrow, and it seemed that the closure of the river would not affect them.

As usual, they sorted out the food they brought back. In the evening, the family ate fried fish and drank fish soup. Song Ling even cut a piece of meat and stewed it on low heat, intending to eat it early the next morning.

Although Song Ling likes to complain about this and that, she is willing to spend money on the family's food. Compared to other families who are as thin as sticks, the four members of the Shen family all have some meat on their bodies.

Go back to the room and sleep, open your eyes to see a new day.

Shen Yao got up, dressed and washed. After breakfast, the family of four changed direction and headed for the small bamboo forest in the east of the city.

When I met other people on the road, I could hear them discussing things happening by the river.

Yesterday afternoon, the patrol team went to the river and were shocked. It turned out that the two snakes were not the masterminds, and there was a bigger and longer snake lurking behind them.

The patrol team had weapons, but people were still injured. Not only did they fail to catch the snake, but it escaped instead. I heard that the riverside will be closed for several days until it is ensured that there is no danger.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you don't know, many people have no trace left."

"The south of the city is so dangerous. It's not safe wherever we go to collect."

"..."

Shen Yao listened with her ear tilted, remembering the content in her mind and thinking about it slowly.

This body's memory was not very complete, so she didn't dare to ask too much about some common sense stuff, so as not to arouse suspicion from her family.

So Shen Yao spends most of her time relying on the words of others to slowly make up for what she lacks, so that she can better adapt to her current life.

Soon, they arrived at the east of the city. The four of them lined up and went out, running towards a small bamboo forest not far away with a group of people.

The small bamboo forest is not far from the base, and it only takes half an hour to get there if you hurry.

Moreover, this bamboo forest is not small at all. It stretches as far as the eye can see. It is full of fallen leaves and gravel, as well as old bamboo shoots.

Bamboo forests have always been a place that people love to visit. There are not only useful bamboos here, but also bamboo shoots, bamboo fungi, bamboo rats, bamboo worms and so on.

Shen Yu wanted to catch two bamboo rats. Bamboo rats are a species that eats bamboo and have tender and delicious meat. Although the mutated bamboo rats can be half a person's height and have greater lethality, if he really caught one, it would be enough for his family to eat toothpicks for several days.

Not only Shen Yu, but most of the people who came here came for bamboo rats.

Shen Jiancheng planned to cut bamboo, Song Ling and Shen Yao planned to pick bamboo leaves and dig bamboo shoots. Since Shen Yu was catching bamboo rats, he should be careful. "Be careful and don't fight hard."

Shen Yu waved his hand, grinned, turned around and walked deeper into the bamboo forest.

Drip

"Bamboo shoots, highly mutated plants, inedible"

"Bamboo fungus, a highly mutated organism, cannot be eaten"

"..."

The attempt was not successful. Shen Yao searched for a long time but didn't find anything edible.

Song Ling has picked a lot of bamboo leaves. Although they are not edible, they are good for drying and drinking tea. The redemption center charges eight points for one pound of dried bamboo leaves.

That is, if the dried bamboo leaves are not weighed, it is not cost-effective to sell them. Unless the family is in a particularly difficult situation, the picked bamboo leaves will be used by themselves.

A bulge appeared under her feet and Shen Yao almost fell and hit it.

I took out a hoe and dug at the bulge, and found that it was a newly emerged bamboo shoot.

"Bamboo shoots, low-level mutation plants, can be eaten in large quantities."

After hearing this, Shen Yao's eyes lit up, and she swiftly picked up the hoe and started digging the hole seriously.
