Happy peasant girls in space

Chapter 4 Finding Food

Although the family is poor, the living environment is good.

The yard is divided into courtyard and backyard, and the backyard is a vegetable field.The front and back cover a total of about two acres. It seems that this cheap father and mother are hardworking owners. Although the thatched house is broken, it is cleaned cleanly.The things in the yard are also tidy.

Mai Duoduo silently swears in her heart: She failed to be the first secretary of the villagers as she wished in modern times. When she comes here, she must realize the dream of being the "first secretary" and thrive in this ancient world. .

"Sister, eat pears!" Mai Di said to Mai Duoduo with a smile, holding a sand pear in each hand.This little guy has been pestering Mai Duoduo to weave straw toys for him for the past two days. He has a "sword" and a "big knife" and wants "a horse".No, he decided to reluctantly part with the precious sand pears in his hand and leave them all for his sister to eat.

Mai Duoduo took a bite of the sand pear in Mai Di's hand, it was very sweet, but the flesh was a bit thick.She walked into the kitchen while eating, intending to make lunch herself.

Lifting the lid of the rice jar, I saw that there was only a small bag of coarse rice and half a bag of corn kernels inside.There is no way but to cook polenta.Mai Duoduo grabbed a handful of thick rice with his hands, and then spooned it into a bowl of corn grits to mix.See the unchanging salted radish sticks in the cupboard.He frowned, and shouted to the door: "Little brother, are there any vegetables in the vegetable garden?"

"No, when you were still in a coma a few days ago, a large number of locusts flew to our village and ate up all the green things." Maidi said.

"Huh?" Only then did Mai Duoduo remember the reason why the family ate salted radish sticks every day these days.It turned out to be a plague of locusts, but fortunately it is early autumn, the rice and corn are beginning to mature, and the leaves have turned yellow and old, so they finally escaped disaster.Otherwise, there will definitely be no harvest this year!
Alas, whether it is a modern farmer or an ancient farmer, he will never be able to fight against natural disasters and depend on the sky for his food.

Mai Duoduo clenched her fists and secretly cheered herself up. She must make this family rich as soon as possible. She didn't believe that she, a foreigner with a thousand years of culture, could not make the ancient agriculture flourish?
Pushing open the small door of the backyard, seeing the bare vegetable field, only a dozen lettuce stalks standing there alone, Mai Duoduo's eyes lit up: Haha, shredded lettuce salad.

In the memory of the original owner, the villagers here only know that the leaves of lettuce can be eaten, but no one knows that its roots can also be eaten. Generally, they are used to feed pigs or thrown away casually.

Mai Duoduo quickly cut five large lettuces with a sickle and returned to the kitchen. The big pot on the stove was still burning to cook the porridge. To prepare cold salad with seasoning, Mai Duoduo searched the entire kitchen, only found a small can of vegetable oil and half a can of salt.

Forget it, I can only put a few drops of rapeseed oil and a little salt in the salad, and next time I will go to the mountains to find some seasonings.

At this time, the corn porridge in the pot was boiled and the smell of corn came out. Mai Duoduo turned off the firewood in the stove, scooped up the polenta in the big pot with a ladle and put it into the basin.

Mai Di walked in and saw a big bowl of emerald green vegetables on the table, held back his saliva and said: "Sister, where did you get the green vegetables! It looks delicious! And why haven't I seen it?" How about this dish?"

Mai Duoduo put the porridge bowl on the table, and slapped away Mai Di's black claws that were about to reach into the bowl: "Go, wash your hands quickly!"

In a gust of wind, Maidi ran away to wash his hands and then came back to stare at the bowl of lettuce and drool. Mai Duoduo had no choice but to use his chopsticks to dip some into a small dish to satisfy his hunger first. The porridge was still hot, and Mai Dalang and the others hadn’t come back yet!
