Wang Xiujuan and the others still had pimple soup for breakfast. At this time, she was cleaning the clothes borrowed by Ning Qingxi in the yard, and was going to dry them before returning them to others. The clothes Ning Er Er borrowed from Mrs. Cheng's house.

Ning Qingxi was helping to dry the clothes. After wearing this men's clothing, she seemed to have discovered some new world. Compared with women's clothing, men's clothing is really convenient. Although she has learned to wear these skirts now, but If she had a choice, she would definitely wear men's clothing directly.I just hate myself for knowing it too late.

The two were chatting, and Ning Changrong came from outside with a tired face. He really saw a ghost. This thing is not difficult to recognize, and there are samples next to the toilet. I thought it was very common. After I had breakfast in the morning, I ran excitedly towards the halfway up the mountain. After searching all morning, all the stones were turned up. I was so tired that my back hurt, but I still didn’t find anything!

Seeing her father like this, Ning Qingxi knew that her father had returned in vain, "Didn't you find it, father? It's okay, you can look for it in the afternoon. Otherwise, I'll go with you, anyway, I'm fine."

"Okay, let's look for it together this afternoon, I don't believe we can't find it!" According to his daughter, saltpeter also existed as a medicinal material in ancient times, so it's impossible to find it?It's not a precious mineral either.If he really couldn't find it, did he really go door to door in the whole village and scrape the walls of other people's toilets?
When Ning Changrong thought of sucking his teeth here, he could accept going to the bathroom, but it was really a test of will to stay there all the time.Thanks to his daughter, who loves cleanliness, she can endure for so many days.When he went to shave this morning, he was so smoked.

If he really can't find it, let alone he really can only scrape the walls of other people's toilets. As for spending money to buy it in a pharmacy, he doesn't even think about it. How expensive is a pharmacy?Waste this wrong money, go crazy!
Ning Qingxi and Ning Changrong searched for several days but failed to find them, but each time they brought back a lot of wild vegetables.

They took hand crossbows with them, and sometimes they were lucky enough to shoot a rabbit or two.But neither of them could be happy, they haven't found what they should be looking for, and that is their treasure.

Seeing that the father and daughter were about to go up the mountain again, Wang Xiujuan had already boiled the bamboo bowls, spoons and chopsticks ordered from the carpenter, disinfected them and put them away.

He was busy with saltpeter these days, and the outside world may not be stable. Ning Changrong was not in a hurry to go to the county, so he didn't buy bowls and chopsticks.It is also impossible for the family to use one earthenware pot all the time, so they just took a few taro and ordered them from Carpenter Sun.

Carpenter Sun's family is also busy looking for food. If you ask him to help make these things with money, he may not be happy, but if you take taro, he will happily accept it. You can eat it at this time The grain is more effective than any copper money.

Wang Xiujuan thought that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so she simply followed. At the beginning, she could meet many old wives and old women in the village, but later on, she could only see a few villagers who came out of the village to pick wild vegetables together. Going deeper and deeper, no one can be seen.

Ning Qingxi was panting as she walked. In early spring, she was sweating profusely. Just 10 minutes ago, she and her grandma Wang Xiujuan were already walking with a wooden stick.

But they didn't go too deep, they just looked around halfway up the mountain.

Seeing that there was nothing to gain today, the three of them were walking back disappointed.

Suddenly Wang Xiujuan's eyes lit up, she pointed to a place and said, "Do you think that leaf looks like taro?"

After Wang Xiujuan finished speaking, she approached the inside, squatted down and took a closer look, and there were taro leaves everywhere in her eyes, "There seem to be a lot of taro here!"

The place where they dug taro before was already dug by the villagers. Ever since his family made a taro chicken to entertain the officers and soldiers, everyone in the village knew that this thing could be eaten, and they all regretted it. At the beginning, so much food was rotten in front of their eyes. The place where Wang Xiujuan and the others dug the taro was not so hidden. Everyone in the village knew that the next day, the family had no rice to cook, and the villagers carried the place that night Hoes, all planed clean.Ning Changrong was worried that they would poison him to death, so he went to see if they had dug up the calla taro.

It's really fortunate that he took a look, otherwise many families would have been poisoned to death. Mrs. Lai's family dug two big bags of taro and found half of them were taro. If Ning Changrong hadn't checked it, they I'm afraid that the whole family will ascend to heaven together.

He still stayed that night and told the villagers how to identify it again, so he went back so late.

But what he didn't know was that after he left, after the war of chicken bones, a war of taro broke out among the women.

Village head Ning had just finished the mediation, and when he heard that the women in the village were arguing again, he really had no strength left to deal with it. A son and daughter-in-law stayed to look for taro on the mountain.

At this moment, Ning Changrong glanced at his mother in amazement. His daughter had this precious book from God, and when he went up the mountain to look for saltpeter, he picked a few wild vegetables at most, and most of the time he returned empty-handed. His daughter went out and brought back a few rabbits instead.

His mother seemed to be very lucky. He had walked up and down the mountain several times, but he didn't find any taro here.

So he is the one with the worst luck in this family?
Thinking of this, Ning Changrong glanced at his mother and his daughter. He thought that he was their reliance, but he didn't expect that being with his grandparents and grandchildren was his luck. He was a little immersed in the loss that he was not the pillar of the family.

Ning Qingxi had no time to pay attention to his father's complicated mood.

Throwing down the small wooden stick in his hand, he walked quickly towards Wang Xiujuan's place, and what came into view was a piece of emerald green leaves, which looked a bit like the shape of a heart, what is it if it's not a taro?
"Wow! Grandma, your eyes are too good!"

Wang Xiujuan said with a cheerful smile: "Today's visit is not in vain. It's still some distance from our house, so I'm afraid it's not easy to take it back."

Ning Changrong thought that after the three of them ate separately, the food eaten by Ning Lao Er and Ning Lao San's family didn't have any serious food, it seemed that most of them were wild vegetables and mushrooms.

His two brothers bought food later than him, and the two of them had a lot of money, so it was impossible to buy too much. I know how much food the two of them have left. After all, their cellars are dug separately, and now they store their own food.

But judging from the two foods he had accidentally glimpsed, there shouldn't be much left.

They eat three meals a day, and the two families only open fire twice a day.

"Let's put some in the basket first, and dig the rest at night."

Ning Changrong carried a bamboo basket on his back all the time, just for the convenience of carrying saltpeter home. Who knew that he had only packed wild vegetables, mushrooms and rabbits, but he had never packed saltpeter once.
