I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 28 An unexpected harvest of small river shrimps

 The reason why Willow Bay has this name is because there is a meandering Qingshui River at the head of the village and a large willow tree that only a few people can surround.

 Baiyun Xi took Yaya and walked along the river to the back mountain, looking at the fields on both sides of the river bank. Because they were close to the water source, irrigation was convenient and the crops were growing well.

 The village she came to was located in the middle of the Song Dynasty. It had four distinct seasons and had both paddy fields and dry land.

Most paddy fields are of good quality, close to water sources, and have high yields. One acre of good land is worth eight to ten guan, and they are in high demand.

 Dry lands are generally barren, with low yields and cheap prices. You can buy one acre of dry land with just two dollars.

 Her family currently only has two acres of dry land left due to Lao Juren's illness.

Two acres of land are needed to feed eight people, and even the soil is not enough.

　　Oh, the system is broken. She has always worked diligently and never disturbed public order. Why send her to this poor mountain village?

There is no one around the house, and she is left to lead a group of bears on the right path. Who does she offend?

Just as I was complaining, a virtual electronic screen popped up next to me, with an extra line of words on it.

　　‘Teach your son to follow the right path, and the host can enjoy a life of salty fish at the peak of his life. ’

 Hmph, you will draw a big cake for her. If you are really sincere, you will give her a hundred catties of grain to tide over the current difficulties?

As soon as this idea came out, the system escaped.

Baiyunxi trembled speechlessly. The hot summer weather made people a little irritated.

There are lush water plants and shady trees along the river. When the breeze blows, circles of water ripples rise on the surface of the river, sparkling in the sun, which can make people feel less dry and feel more cool.

Squint your eyes and feel the Baiyun River. The only advantage of coming here is that the air is good, the oxygen content is high, and the food you eat is pollution-free.

Just after sighing, Baiyun Xi discovered a few clusters of water celery growing in a pool in front of it.

“Yaya, you wait here for grandma, I’ll go downstairs to pick some vegetables and come back.”

"good."

Baiyunxi carried the basket and went down to the river beach. He picked a small bundle of water celery that he knew, tied it up with a waterweed, and put it in the basket. Finally, he had a dish for lunch.

Looking at the celery juice stained on his hands, Baiyunxi pulled away the water plants and prepared to wash his hands. He discovered that there were many lively shrimps hidden under the water plants.

 There are small green shrimps here?

 Where’s the river fresh food?

Although they are not big in size, they are really dense.

Looking at the clear river bed and green water plants in Baiyun River, I almost laughed out loud. They say that you can eat mountains if you rely on mountains, and you can eat rivers if you rely on rivers. Isn’t this just before your eyes?

     Another dish can be added to lunch, dry-roasted river prawns.

Baiyunxi placed the water celery on a nearby stone, then went to pick a few leaves from the bird of paradise, and simply woven them into a simple basket.

After the preparations were completed, Baiyun Xi looked around, took off his shoes, took the basket and rowed back and forth among the water plants, drove all the small river shrimps together, and then fished them out with the basket.

 After a while, the leaf basket was full, and unexpectedly there were two more palm-sized crucian carp.

Looking at the lively river shrimps and two lively crucian carp, Baiyunxi carefully held the bottom of the leaves, put them in the basket, covered the water celery on top, put on shoes and went ashore, leading Yaya home.

 “Grandma, aren’t we going to the mountains?”

“We won’t go for now. Let’s send the vegetables home and come to the river to fish later.”

It is a waste of resources to guard the river and not eat the fresh water.

 In my memory, not many people in the village eat fish. Occasionally, they buy it in the town. Very few people go to the river to catch fish.
