Sturdy Countryside: Lord, Please Blow The Lamp

Xia Beibei turned her head, sure enough, the family has almost gathered together, and those on their backs and in their hands are all returning with full rewards.

It's just that there aren't too many things in this mountain after all. It has been scrapped for a day today, and if I want to go to the mountain tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't find much to eat.

Looking at the sky, it turned out that it was getting late. Before she knew it, had she been digging for so long?

"Village Chief, has everyone come here?" Xia Beibei asked.

Don't leave anyone behind, it's not a joke to be alone in the mountains.

"It's all here, I've counted them all." Xia Guchun nodded.

He is very happy today, he will not worry about food at home, so he doesn't need to spend any more money, the money Muzi will take the exam next year will be enough.

"Then let's go back."

"Jiu Niang, why are you carrying such a basket of raw persimmons? These are green and astringent, can you eat them?" On the way back, several men saw that the basket behind Xia Beibei was full of persimmons. Sheng persimmon, asked involuntarily.

This raw persimmon, even if there is no more to eat, they will not eat it, it is even more unpalatable than that tree root.

Logically speaking, Jiuniang was the first to discover that there was food in the mountains. It is impossible that there is no food in the house, so why would she still pick these persimmons?

"You guys don't know that. For raw persimmons, after picking them, put them in a sack and put them in a warmer place. After a few days, pinch them and they will become soft and red. Eat." Xia Beibei said.

With the money and the food, Xia Beibei no longer sells persimmons to make money, so she picks some persimmons and puts them at home, waiting for them to ripen and eat slowly.

"Really?" The eyes of all the men suddenly lit up.

They never looked down on these raw persimmons before, because they dared not bite them.

What's more, it was hanging on the branch, waiting to be eaten, it was too ripe, and it had been pecked by sparrows a long time ago, so they could only eat the leftovers from sparrows.

This year there was another plague of locusts. Except for the persimmon trees in the deep mountains, there are not many persimmon trees that have not been bitten.

"Jiu Niang, teach us how to do it?" A big man asked her for advice, and a few people who heard the conversation between them also came over one after another.

"It's simple, just look at the slightly yellowed persimmons, and you can pick them off. If they are too green, they will not be easy to ripen. But, uncle, persimmons can't be eaten as a meal. It's okay to eat too many persimmons." You're not in good health." Xia Beibei reminded them with a smile.

"I know, I know, how can we not know about this." The men nodded repeatedly.

Xia Beibei smiled and continued walking.

...

When Xia Beibei returned home, she saw at a glance that the yard had been reclaimed without a single corner, and Xia Sang was boiling water in the kitchen.

She could only shake her head, frown, and sigh, but she couldn't say anything, since everything was done, what else could she say.

"Grandma, didn't I tell you to take your time? Why..." After putting down the bamboo basket, she came to the kitchen.

"Jiu Niang, are you back?" Seeing her coming back, Xia Sang quickly stood up from the stove and patted the grass clippings on her body.

"Grandma is preparing to boil hot water for you so that you can take care of yourself when you come back. You must be exhausted after a day in the mountains?" Xia Sang asked with concern.
