Chapter 30 The Chicken's Laziness

Yun Zhaodi thought her younger sister was a complete idiot. "What's the rush! Just because we don't have a chance now doesn't mean we won't have one in the future. One day, I'll let that brat Yunxi know that I'm not someone to be trifled with. Humph! Just you wait and see."

After saying that, without caring whether his younger sister understood what he meant, he picked up his basket and headed down the mountain.

If they didn't go back early, Grandma wouldn't leave them any food for lunch, and they would go hungry. So they didn't dare to linger on the mountain for even a moment longer.

When Yunpandi saw that his older sister was ignoring him, he stomped his foot and quickly chased after her.

After Yunxi arrived at the mountain, she didn't cut any pig feed, since there was still plenty in her space, enough to last another day or two.

He found a secluded spot, took out his book on medicinal herbs, and began to memorize the properties of the herbs and how to process them, recording everything in his mind bit by bit.

After reading for about half an hour, I memorized about 20 pages of the book. I not only recognized the herbs, but also knew their uses and even what combinations they could be used to treat what diseases.

Yunxi knew that she hadn't bought the book in vain, since she remembered everything so clearly.

Actually, when I look at those medicinal weeds next to me, I no longer see them as weeds, but as money.

Perhaps because few people in the countryside know about medicinal herbs, apart from barefoot doctors who know some and some common folk remedies, most of the herbs are unfamiliar to most people.

Yunxi felt she was about to make a fortune. Once she had processed all the mature herbs on the mountain, she could definitely sell them to pharmacies and earn a lot of money.

I checked the time; half an hour had passed, and it was about time to go back.

After filling the basket with pig feed, they carried it directly down the mountain.

Grandma Cheng and Grandma Huang were no longer at the pig farm, so there was no problem handing it over to someone else. Knowing that someone would help Grandma Cheng record her work points later, they left directly.

When Yunxi got home, the first thing she did was lock the door from the inside, because she wasn't sure if Yun Shengnan would come to visit her. If she did, she was worried that Yun Shengnan would see things she shouldn't see.

That will be hard to explain later.

Then I went to the backyard to check on the chickens, picked some vegetable leaves from the garden, and threw them in to feed them.

Perhaps because I watered them thoroughly yesterday, the vegetables aren't wilted today; they're all growing quite well.

But in the evening, we have to continue picking vegetables. Those vegetables grow incredibly fast, and now is harvest time. We can't possibly eat all the vegetables we have every day.

Watching the five chickens scrambling to eat the vegetable leaves, I thought I couldn't let them eat vegetarian food all day long, and they wouldn't have to observe a month of mourning like I did.

It seems I need to dig up more earthworms for them to eat when I have free time. I can't let five chickens that were perfectly healthy suddenly become thin and weak after I get them.

She found three eggs inside, and with her eyes fixed on the four hens, she knew that one of the hens was slacking off.

It seems she'll have to get some baskets to separate the four hens and keep them locked up for two days. She wants to see which hen is slacking off.

If you're going to be lazy, then you might as well not live. Old hen soup is quite delicious too.

Then I poured them some well water and left them alone. They were already full, so now it was time for me to feed myself.

I just bought some rice today. I don't remember eating rice very often, since we don't grow much rice here. Most of the crops grown are wheat, corn, and other grains.

Although I rarely ate it, I still remember it vividly as being exceptionally delicious.

Such delicious food, and since there's no shortage of supplies right now, Yunxi certainly won't miss it.

Yunxi took out the bag of rice, which weighed only ten jin (about 5 kg), not much at all.

Since the pot at home is so big, I simply cooked half a rice at once. Anyway, I bought so many containers today, and I can just throw them all away since I can't finish them. The space won't break, and I can eat them whenever I want later.

While cooking, Yunxi was also busy. She took all the containers she had bought that day to the well to wash them, then let them dry in the sun for a while before putting them away.

I bought quite a lot of things, and it took a long time just to wash them. Fortunately, the old loofah for washing things is quite useful.

After washing everything, Yunxi picked some fresh vegetables from the backyard, planning to cook two dishes before eating.

The green beans hanging there look like they're about to get old; they're growing way too fast. Looks like I need to pick them all today. Then I can pickle them into sour green beans, which make a delicious and satisfying dish when stir-fried with a little meat. Or I can dry them into dried green beans, which are also quite tasty when stewing meat in winter.

It took almost an hour to finally have lunch. As expected, the rice that Yunxi had been longing for was indeed delicious.

Peach Blossom Fairy Yunxi fell in love with rice the first time she ate it. It's a pity that rice isn't grown here, so you have to buy it from outside if you want to eat it.

After finishing their meal, they put away all the water tanks, jars, basins, and other items that had just been washed outside.

As for the drying mats and rattan items, they were temporarily left outside, to be used later.

Then he took out a wooden basin the size of a washbasin and put all the extra rice he had just cooked into it, filling the basin to the brim.

While it's still popular, I stored it in my space. Next time I want to eat, I can just take the food out of it.

Yunxi felt that she had racked her brains to be lazy.

I laid out the drying mats in the yard. Luckily, the yard was big enough that even if I laid out two more mats, I could still fit them in after a little tidying up.

Having just finished eating, I moved a stool and sat under the eaves, a spot where I wouldn't get any sun.

They took the mushrooms out of the space, poured them on the ground, and began to select them.

The selected mushrooms are placed directly into the small wicker basket, so that not many mushrooms can fit in, and there is no need to worry about the ones below being crushed.

After selecting a basket, I poured it directly onto the drying mat outside, looking at the things in the yard as I went.

Three drying mats laid out outside shouldn't be too surprising, right?

As for the mushrooms mentioned above, other people picked a lot of them a couple of days ago, so they shouldn't be considered too conspicuous.
