Chapter 50 Sweet Potato Stalks

Fortunately, there was no damage, otherwise several days of work would have been wasted. The herbs were stored in the space, and it will be taken out to dry tomorrow.

He took out all the weeds he had just stored in his space and piled them on the other side. He turned them over occasionally, and they dried very quickly, just enough to start a fire.

After finishing, we went straight into the yard, since there was still a lot of stuff to pack up there.

First, I collected the medicinal herbs, then I put the hawthorns, chili peppers, and mushrooms from the drying mat into my space. Tomorrow, I can just take them all out and continue drying them.

Next, I took all the green beans that were hanging on the rack. They were all very dry now, and I felt that they could be taken down after drying for another day.

After putting away everything that needed to be said in the yard, I went to the backyard and watered all the vegetables there. Anyway, there's plenty of water in the space; if we run out, we can just go to the river to get more.

After finishing everything, Yunxi went straight to the kitchen and made herself a bowl of noodles.

It's already so late to have dinner, so I added a boiled wild egg to my noodles as a treat.

I really hope this remaining month will pass quickly so I can eat meat and fish every day without any problem.

I quietly calculated the time; more than ten days have already passed. In another ten days or so, I'll be able to eat meat.

Suddenly it felt like time hadn't been that long, and it passed by quickly.

After finishing my meal and washing up, I went straight into the house.

She didn't want to move at all tonight, so she lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and silently reviewed the junior high school knowledge she had learned yesterday.

After making sure he had memorized it firmly, he closed his eyes and sent his mental energy into the space.

Looking at the mountain of fish, I immediately started sorting them, assigning each type of fish a specific spot so they wouldn't be mixed together.

Crucian carp, common carp, grass carp, black carp, and snakehead are the most common types. Other types are less numerous, but only compared to the previous five. In reality, their numbers are still quite large.

Yunxi picked out the fish that weighed less than a pound. These fish were too small. Apart from the crucian carp, which was small enough to make soup, it felt a bit of a waste to eat the other fish that were so small.

However, the ones weighing less than one pound were the most numerous, accounting for about half of the total. Although the others were larger, the larger ones were definitely fewer in number.

After thinking about it, I decided to just keep it in my space. It's good enough that it has something to eat, so why should I care about its size?

Yunxi thought that he could go to the market in a couple of days. Now anyone can set up a stall at the market, and he also wanted to sell the fish and wild boar meat from his space.

Selling wild boar meat would seem like attracting too much attention, since hunting wild boar isn't an easy task.

However, if you're just selling those fish, you can say that your fishing skills are exceptional, so you can easily catch them.

The day after tomorrow is market day. I think most people in the village won't have to work. Most people will go to the market, and only a few will go to work. It seems like it's not mandatory.

However, this is not allowed during the busy farming season, as leave cannot be taken during this time.

There were several large bluefish in the space, all over a meter long, and they looked to weigh tens or even hundreds of kilograms. Their bellies were round and full, and it was obvious that they were not light.

Yunxi planned to select some fish weighing between two and six or seven pounds, intending to sell them at the market. She felt that only fish of this weight were suitable, and the others would have to stay in her space for the time being.

After selecting them, set them aside and take them out when you go to the market.

I picked out some more fish, each weighing about a pound to a little over a pound, to make salted fish for myself. Although I don't have enough salt right now, I can prepare it in advance so that I can pickle them once the salt arrives.

I picked out about 100 fish, and left the rest for later. I used my spatial abilities to gut them, and even scraped off all the scales and gills.

After cleaning the fish, they inevitably had a lot of blood on them. The fish were then submerged in the river water in the space, washing away the blood.

As for those big fish, Yunxi felt they were too big. If she took them to town and secretly tried to sell them, she wondered if she could get a high price for them.

So she decided to leave them for the time being, and if they couldn't be sold, she would come back and cut them down later.

The mental energy bypassed the pile of fish in the space and came to the pile of sweet potato vines next to it. It directly cut the sweet potato vines into sections, which made planting easier.

If you happen to find a place deep in the mountains to plant it, you need to prepare it in advance.

Actually, Yunxi didn't want to plant anything originally, since she had vegetables growing in the backyard and money to buy food. But when she thought about what she had said to the brigade leader, Grandpa Yun Deguang, that morning, she felt uneasy.

So she decided to go with that feeling and prepare herself in advance. After the thought of preparing flashed through her mind, she felt a little more relaxed.

She felt that what she had done was not wrong, but she didn't know how to tell others because she had no evidence; it was just a feeling she had.

In the end, she decided not to say anything, but if she could really help, she wouldn't mind lending a hand and seeing if she could accumulate more merit for herself so that she could be reborn into the immortal realm in her next life and fulfill her wish to become a peach blossom fairy in the Heavenly Court.

After thinking it through, Yunxi picked out a lot of particularly tender sweet potato stems and peeled off the fibers in her space. They looked so green and she planned to stir-fry a bowl of sweet potato stems tomorrow, thinking it would taste delicious.

Busy as we were, a long time passed by without us even realizing it.

Seeing that it was almost dawn if I didn't go to sleep soon, I quickly closed my eyes and went to sleep.

The next day, after getting ready and having breakfast, I didn't go to finish the pig feed task as early as usual. Instead, I waited for Uncle Jun and Uncle Ying to bring me the rack.

Apart from hanging the green beans on the rack, nothing was taken out of the two mats. The plan is to take the things out of the mats to dry after the rack is moved in, otherwise there is no way to get them into the yard.
