Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

Chapter 38: Beetroot Discovery

Bai Yunxi sat on the ground, took a deep breath silently, and took a while to breathe. He looked down at the grass in his hand, and just as he was about to throw it out, he found a big carrot-like stem falling from the root.

The stem is straight, the leaves are rectangular, long petiole, the rhizome is like a cone, like a hammer...

Bai Yunxi stared blankly at the thing in his hand, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his head. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the soil on the root, and lay down on his stomach to take a bite.

The taste is not very good, but it is a familiar taste.

God, she found wild beets here.

In the original world, sugar beets were introduced species.Later, some scholars also discovered wild beets, both imported and wild ones can be boiled into sucrose.

Looking at a piece of beet in the mountain depression, Bai Yunxi couldn't hide the joy in her eyes. There is no unparalleled road, and she finally saw some hope.

Beets are a good thing. Not only can you boil sucrose, but you can also cook beet soup, which has a unique taste.

This area is estimated to be three to four quarters of land. Looking at the beet heads that have just been pulled out, they are half the size of a football. It can be seen that the col is very suitable for its growth.

When Baiyunxi was happy, he ignored the pain at the base of his tail, and directly took the sickle, pulled out the beet, cut off the leaves and stems, leaving only a beet head.

Five or six of them filled the basket, which is really big.

Baiyunxi threw the chopped beet stems and leaves into the valley, filled them with new soil, made a little cover up, and made sure that no one was around, and then went down the mountain with a basket on his back and a sickle.

There are no owners of things in the mountains, whoever sees them owns them.

But her family is in a difficult situation. Don't talk to her about love and generosity until you have enough food and clothing.

It is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain. With a basket of beet heads, I rested three times along the way before walking to the wasteland.

"Bai Anyan, come here to pick up Mother, I can't walk anymore." This body has not been exercised, and it has reached its limit when it comes here.

Any more and she'd be paralyzed.

"Mom, what are you carrying?"

Hearing his old lady calling him, Bai Anyan threw down his hoe and rushed over. Looking at the things in the basket, what was the big carrot and sweet potato?
"Beetroot, good stuff."

Bai Yunxi took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down and breathed a sigh of relief, and directly ordered,
"You and Mrs. Li don't open up wasteland for the time being, take this home, and then take two baskets, prepare two sacks, and come here with a pole."

"Is this edible?" Bai Anyan looked at the ugly beetroot and asked with a frown.

"It doesn't taste good, but you can drink it." Bai Yunxi waved his hand, "Go and drive back, and I'll tell you when I'm done."

"Ok."

Bai Anyan greeted Li Shi, and the two turned to go home, leaving Bai Ancheng alone to clean up the roots.

Bai Yunxi looked at him, this child was too quiet.

"Xiao Wu, don't do it, come and rest for a while."

Bai Ancheng stopped what he was doing, lifted the weed roots in the basket to the side of the road and poured them into the ditch, looked up at Baiyunxi, walked over silently, and poured two bowls of water.

Put one bowl by Baiyunxi's hand, and drink the other bowl.

Bai Yunxi picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and saw Xiao Wu looked at her in surprise, then turned her head away.

Apart from being surprised, I have no idea.

"What's Xiao Wu's opinion on land reclamation?"

Bai Yunxi was very curious about this baby. At 13 years old, it's not good to be so silent.

"Mother made the right decision. My son has no objections. It is imminent to settle the rations." Xiao Wu turned his head and looked at Baiyunxi, his tone indifferent.
