It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 316

The blacksmith sent by the Hao family successfully completed the task.

The night before leaving, the Dongshan Village raised money to make two meat dishes for their meal, and in return, the blacksmith kindly helped them repair their farm tools.

After sending the craftsmen away the next morning, Dongshan Village returned to its peaceful state of working from sunrise to sunset.

Because there was a silent drizzle at night, many elders in Dongshan Village temporarily put down their work in the fields, carried bamboo baskets and picked up hoes to go into the mountains to dig bamboo shoots.

Jiang Yan and other young people were not good at digging bamboo shoots, so they were ordered to pick the freshly sprouted young leaves of wild vegetables.

"Sister Yanyan, Grandpa Jiang Wang asked me to keep an eye on you and make sure you don't touch those poisonous mushrooms." Jiang Yun took a few steps with the bamboo basket on her shoulder, and when she turned around, she saw Jiang Yan's eyes fixed on the ground in front of her.

She looked around and found nothing special except a few clumps of mushrooms that might be attractive.

"Oh, I'm not looking for mushrooms." Jiang Yan had just been reminded of this, so even if he had an idea, he wouldn't choose this time to do it.

She waved at Jiang Yun and said, "Come here and help me dig these plants up and take them home. Be careful not to damage the roots."

Jiang Yun looked at the ordinary seedling under Jiang Yan's finger and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"The young seedlings of the Cliff Fruit Tree are treasures that can earn you a lot of money in the future." Jiang Yan smiled with curved eyebrows.

They often dig wild vegetables in this area, but cliff fruit trees grow in another area, which is almost the outermost edge of the Dongshan villagers' forest activities.

I don’t know which birds and beasts did a good deed and brought the seeds here, which made things convenient for her.

After going down the mountain, Jiang Yan gave Jiang Yun half of the seeds: "You can plant them in the yard and just water them."

After planting the remaining two plants together in the backyard, and then looking at the one she planted last year which was now as tall as her waist, Jiang Yan suddenly realized: We have to build up a scale!

The next day, Jiang Wang, who was somewhat moved by the prospects described by Jiang Yan, took Jiang Hu and Jiang Fu up the mountain.

When they got there, Jiang Wang looked around at the already dark and secluded environment and looked at Jiang Yan helplessly, "How can you be so brave..."

Jiang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, then quickly walked a few steps away and started to tidy up the vines hanging on the cliff fruit tree.

The four of them stayed on the mountain for half a day, and before the light in the forest dimmed, they went down the mountain with a basket of young saplings of the rock fruit tree and a basket of rock fruit tree leaves.

They brought back half of the young plants that emerged from the ground, and left the rest in the forest to grow or wither naturally.

Jiang Xing was the first to see them return. He walked over and glanced into the basket. "It's a lot. Where are the seeds?"

……

Jiang Hu and Jiang Fu followed the instructions and planted half of the young clover trees at the junction of the fields and the forests, and distributed the other half to the people present, one tree to each household.

Jiang Yan followed Li Hao into her house, holding her basket of tea leaves. She then asked Jiang Fa, who was dozing off beside her, "Grandpa, Sister Yingzi said you're the best at roasting tea leaves in the village. Can you teach me how to roast these leaves?"

"Stretch out your palms so I can see them." Jiang Fa looked at Jiang Yan's calluses, which were not yet thick enough, and said, "You're still young. Go eat dinner first. Come over later while I set up the pot."

Tea trees do not grow in Rongcheng County. Except for wealthy families who buy expensive tea and a few shops that keep some tea bricks from merchants from the south, the people here have only drunk leaf tea for generations.

Leaf tea is made by making many rough and difficult-to-chew leaves into tea leaves and brewing them in water to drink. Whether it is to add flavor to the water or to clear away heat, almost every household will prepare a few cans of it on a particular day.

Jiang Yan had a weak spleen and stomach and could not drink leaf tea, and her mouth often tasted bitter. The villagers asked a traveling doctor and got her a small bag of barley grains to soak in water.

She is basically well now, and she has tried several types of leaf tea in the village, but unfortunately none of them suit her taste.

So last year she set her sights on the leaves of the cliff fruit. Unfortunately, her cooking skills were not good. She didn’t know whether she had fried them thoroughly or burnt them, but she got stomach upset after drinking just a few sips.

But the person who told her that the leaves of the tung tree can be eaten said that the tung tree leaf tea has a slightly sweet taste... This must be tried again.
