Jiang Yan followed the sound and saw that it was the skinny and disfigured Xiaodouzi. She really couldn't understand that this bowl of something that looked like poison to her could actually make the little guy so greedy.

She took a taste.

The taste is very bitter, with almost no salt, let alone other condiments. Moreover, this whole grain flour is not rice noodles, so drinking it will scratch your throat.

But when she turned her head, she saw several elders and daughters-in-law staring at her and swallowing.

What she found hard to swallow was the main food for their survival...

Really unable to eat, Jiang Yan put the bowl back on the table.

Her action made Wang Jinhua tremble all over. Xiaodouzi sitting next to her was also trembling with fear. The expressionless look on her mother-in-law's face was really scary... She had a chill down her spine and almost didn't have the strength to sit still.

Jiang Yan was a little embarrassed.

She didn't do anything, but her daughter-in-law and grandson were so frightened. This original body is indeed the best.

She got up from the low stool and said in a calm voice: "You guys eat, I'm not hungry yet, let's go out for a walk."

Then he turned around and left the house.

Wang Jinhua's face was full of panic, and her words were trembling: "Dadong, mother...is mother..."

"It's okay. Mom lets us eat, so let's eat first."

Lin Dong handed a bowl to Xiaodouzi and comforted his wife and children. Lin Nan also handed a bowl to Liu Xiaomeng, and they started eating.

Jiang Yan walked outside to the fenced yard and stood at the door. She had a panoramic view of the entire Linjia Village. Behind her were the rolling mountain peaks, with dozens of miles of fields scattered to the left and right. There was a winding river under the high mountain on the left. It was a pity that

The past few years have been marked by droughts, with less rain and more droughts. The rivers have dried up, exposing dry and cracked riverbeds.

In the past few years, there have been constant wars, and the people have been living in dire straits. Finally, the war has passed, and now there is a severe drought, which is getting worse year by year. The people's lives are becoming more and more difficult day by day.

Many people in the village are gradually running out of food, and there are many people like mine who dig wild vegetables every day.

If there is no rain, there will be no food harvest this year. By then, all the villagers in several nearby villages will become refugees with no fixed residence...

Jiang Yan looked bitter and sighed.

How many evils had she committed in her previous life? Even if she suddenly became a mother-in-law and grandma, she actually traveled to a famine year with frequent natural disasters. She might even catch up with a wave of refugees fleeing famine...

However, since she has been able to fight her way from a rural child to a successful female boss, now she can also make a comeback in this mountainous village in the barren years!

Jiang Yan didn't think any more, she gathered her emotions and prepared to familiarize herself with the environment first, so that she could settle down as soon as she arrived.

It was still early, so she walked to the well at the entrance of the lower village, bent over and looked inside. What she was more worried about during this drought was whether there would be water to eat, as water is the source of human life.

The well is bottomless, so there seems to be no need to worry about drinking water for now.

She walked to the rice fields again, where large areas of green and yellow were moving in the wind, the long and thin leaves were rolled up dryly, and the ears that were pulled out had scattered grains, but they were all shriveled.

There is insufficient water, and now is the earing period, which is also the period when the rice needs water the most. If there is no rain in the past two months, the flower vessels will easily wither, hindering flowering and fertilization.

It will directly affect the inability to produce ears. Not to mention the harvest, I am afraid that a year of hard work will be in vain.

Jiang Yan grew up in the countryside. She was very aware of the impact of drought on farmers, but she was unable to do anything about it and was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly a mechanical voice came to mind.

[Old iron! Discover the natural wild plantain! 】

Jiang Yan was stunned on the spot.

Jiang Yan's eyes fell on the field ridge not far away, where a few plantains were sparsely growing. When she was wondering, a transparent panel appeared in her mind.

The big picture on the panel is exactly a plantain, and its name and function are also marked below.

[Natural wild plantain, five cents per pound.]

Jiang Yan walked over and uprooted the few plantains she saw, and the sound of machinery rang in her mind again.

[Old man! Harvest two halves of natural wild plantain, worth two cents. Do you want to sell them? 】

…

Jiang Yan felt inexplicably happy with this mechanical voice.

[Old man! Is it for sale? 】

【yes!】

In an instant, the plantain in her hand disappeared and was replaced by two copper coins.

Jiang Yan's eyes were filled with disbelief. Did she get a cheat?

At this time, the panel in her mind changed, and a multi-page selection appeared, with the name "Plane Trading Mall" displayed. It was like a mall, with various items appearing for her to purchase.

The prices of these goods are in units of copper coins, silver and gold, and there is also a point, which is accumulated based on the things she buys and sells. She took a look and found that two copper coins can only buy one braised egg or two steamed buns, and the points are temporarily

Haven't explained what it can be used for.

She understood it immediately. In other words, this trading mall connects different worlds and is an independent space. She can sell things and buy things. As for the points, she can only wait and see what their use is later.

She immediately clicked to buy two steamed buns, and the two cents in her hand disappeared immediately. But the next second, two fat and white steamed buns were lying in the pocket of her hand, and the position of the points also changed from zero to zero.

two.

In this conversion, two copper plates can be exchanged for 0.2 points.

Jiang Yan was so hungry that she didn't care about the use of studying the points. She finished two steamed buns in three times, five by two, and felt much more energetic now that she had food in her stomach.

Thinking of the situation at home, she decided to dig more plantains and see if there were any other medicinal materials or valuable things for sale. There were too many things she wanted to buy.

In addition to being a medicinal material, plantain is also a wild vegetable. Many people in the village dig it up and eat it, so there are not many available.

The past few years have been years of severe drought, with very little rain. The rivers have dried up and cracked, and cracks have begun to appear in the fields. The trees in the mountains are still lush, but some edible wild vegetables on the outside of the mountains are probably not available.

He was almost picked up by the villagers.

Jiang Yan looked at the sky and saw that it was not too early and she could not go deep into the mountains. She planned to go a little further and check out the outskirts of the mountains. There might be other medicinal materials that the villagers didn't know and she could pick them up.

After walking a few steps, Lin Nan, the second son, led his new wife and chased after her. Lin Nan was carrying a large basket half as tall as a man on his back and the only hatchet in the family in his hand.

"Mom, where are you going? Xiaomeng and I will go with you."

Lin Nan's dark eyes stared at the newly scarred wound on Jiang Yan's left head. He was worried about his mother's health, but he did not dare to ask her to go home, so he could only follow her.

Jiang Yan frowned. Although he was not good to his sons, and could even be said to be abusive, his sons were very filial to him. "Okay, while it's still dark, I want to go take a look around the mountain."

.”

The two of them followed her obediently. Sometimes they would dig up wild vegetables they knew, especially the new daughter-in-law, who dug hard and was very active.

When they walked to the fields outside the mountain, Jiang Yan was already out of breath, but seeing the two of them not blushing or out of breath, she suddenly felt envious.
