After they finished eating, Su Qing called for them to go and get food. The girls did not ask why, and all stood up and followed behind her. They listened to Su ping’s orders unconditionally out of admiration.

Qin Feng grinned as he looked at Su Qing’s ability to rally supporters. Her ability to mobilize supporters had the air of a commander.

“Why are you still looking for food?”

Ji Shuisheng walked over and asked Su Qing. There was still half of the river mussels in the mud Pond that had not been dug out. It would be enough for a meal if they were all dug out. Was there still a need to look for food?

“I’ll look for it and eat it on the way.”

Su Qing said indifferently. Without explaining, she led the girls away.

She felt that if the system wanted to give her the soybeans, they would grow on the soybean seedlings and let her harvest them herself. It would not be kind enough to pack them up and leave them for her to take.

As she was thinking, she saw a large field of soybean seedlings before her. The soybeans had all bounced off the clip and dropped to the ground. She just had to go over and pick them up.

“Aiya, why are there still crops here?”

“Who planted it?”

Xiaoying and Li Shuang’er looked at the large soybean field in shock. The yield of soybeans was low, so only a tiny portion was planted in Peach Blossom Cove. They were left to be fried during the new year and eaten as snacks.

“Planted by the heavens, it’s ours when we see it.”

Su Qing looked at the large field of soybeans and was excited. This was the reason why she liked farming. No matter how tired she was, the joy of harvesting was worth it.

“Come on, let’s harvest the soybeans.”

Su Qing’s voice was filled with joy, a rare sight. It was not as cold as usual, and she even led the way into the soybean field.

The soybeans the system gave were big and full, and all the soybean clips had popped open. They didn’t need to harvest the soybeans anymore; they just needed to pick them up.

The men of Peach Blossom Cove, young and old, couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw the large field of soybeans. Zhong Yong rubbed his eyes hard and ran to ask Ji Shuisheng,

“Brother, did you see the soybean field when we walked over?”

Ji Shuisheng shook his head. He was very sure that the area just now was an ordinary grassland. When did it become a soybean field?

Could it be that father and foster father knew from the heavens that they were in trouble and sent them food?

“Let’s go and pick up the soybeans.”

Old master Qiu was so happy that he could not close his mouth. He did not expect to experience the joy of a harvest here. This year’s crops had not been harvested yet when the earth Dragon turned over, so there was no harvest.

The fear of the past few days and the helplessness of the future had all dissipated. The villagers of the Peach Blossom Cov9e rushed to the soybean field. Everyone seriously picked up the soybeans with wicker baskets, afraid they would miss a single grain.

With these rations, they wouldn’t have to go hungry anymore. Everyone’s faces were filled with unconcealed joy.

Aunt Li knew how to sing folk songs, and she started to sing when she was happy. Li Shuang’er, trained by her mother, also learned how to sing folk songs, so she sang along.

Auntie Li’s voice was full of emotion, while Li Shuang’er’s voice was like a sweet melon, which was even more pleasant to the ear. The valley echoed with the two women singing, like a natural concert venue, accompanied by the wind.

Su Qing didn’t even know when the corners of her mouth had started to curl up. Listening to the song made her feel inexplicably happy. Working relieved the pressure. She looked at the soybeans in the willow basket, which were growing increasingly. The yellow soybeans were like golden lumps, which was very pleasing.

Qin Feng also joined the team to pick up the soybeans. The old man was very happy. After living his entire life, this was the most relaxing moment. Living with his grandchildren was still good, even if they had to eat rice husks and vegetables.

More than a hundred people had been picking up the land from noon to night but had not finished picking it up. Aunt Qiu and Aunt Li set up a pot and began to stir-fry the soybeans. The smell was very fragrant, and everyone was talking and laughing.

Su Qing received 30 pounds of soybeans into the system. Xiao Qi then got to work. She took the soy sauce recipe and started making soy sauce according to the recipe. The first step was to steam the soybeans. First, the soybeans had to be soaked.

It was too small to reach the big wooden bucket, so it moved a stool over and stood on it to work. Its little face was red from exhaustion.

Although it was tiring, Xiao Qi was happy to be able to help master!

“Do me a favor,”

Su Qing drew a drawing of a small grinding stone and asked Ji Shuisheng to find the grinding stone. The soybeans and grinding stones could make soy milk for everyone and tofu. Tofu could be used as a staple food or a dish. It could be made into dried tofu, and sauced tofu could be eaten on the road.

It was still better than eating stir-fried soybean. That thing was fragrant when first stir-fried, but eating too much of it would result in farting and indigestion.

“Alright,” he said.

Ji Shuisheng only took a glance at the blueprint before nodding. It was very easy for him to do this.

The first thing he had to do was to find a stone that could be used as a millstone. He brought Zhong Yong along to find a stone. Su Qing would soak the soybeans when she was free, and the soybeans would be almost done when the millstone was done.

It was already late so they couldn’t hurry on their journey today. Tomorrow morning, they would be able to let everyone eat fragrant soy milk and tender tofu pudding.

Ji Shuisheng took Zhong Yong into the mountains to look for a similar stone. He cut down a tree to use as a handle for a millstone and shot a rabbit to death while looking for a stone. Both sides did not delay.

As the night grew darker, Qiu Yongkang led Li Daniu and the young men from Peach Blossom Cove to light a dozen bonfires. It was already autumn, and the temperature difference between morning and night was huge. Especially at night, it was more exposed to the wind. Without a fire to keep warm, it was easy to get cold.

As the mountain rocks blocked the back path, they didn’t need to worry about the disaster victims or the great Xia Kingdom’s Army coming over. However, everyone still didn’t let down their guard. Where there were mountains, there might be bandits. Even if there weren’t bandits, there were still ferocious beasts. Therefore, they still had to line up for night duty.

Ji Shuisheng’s grinding stone was already done. He put some soybeans on it and pushed it. It was a success. The bite force was not bad.

“Su Qing, what do you think?”

Ji Shuisheng brought Su Qing to the millstone. His starry eyes were focused on Su Qing’s reaction. There was a hint of nervousness in his eyes that he didn’t notice.

“Very good,” she said.

Su Qing tried to push it and nodded in satisfaction. Ji Shuisheng heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared in his dark eyes.

Qin Feng sat before the fire and looked at the petite Su Qing standing before the tall Ji Shuisheng. They looked more and more compatible as they worked. If they were not on the road to escape, he would have personally proposed marriage to his grandson.

Su Qing used water to clean the grinding stone before going to sleep. Now, she had many places to sleep.

In the past, it was only Ji Xiaoying who slept with her. Madam Li and the other girls came over to sleep around her. Su Qing was not as repulsed as before, nor was she half-awake as she was in her previous life. Now, she was sleeping very soundly.

Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang brought Zhong Yong to watch at midnight while Li Daniu and the rest guarded the latter half of the night.

The howls of wolves could be heard in the mountains, and pairs of green eyes approached them in the dark.

Ji Shuisheng drew his bow and shot an arrow at the green eye. He hit two wild wolves in a row. The pack of wild wolves temporarily retreated when they saw they could not be trifled with. However, they were still unwilling to give up and guarded them not far away.

“Animal.”

Ji Shuisheng lit up two bamboo arrows and shot them out. Wolves feared fire, so the wolf pack ran away after throwing down two more corpses.

Su Qing slept until dawn. After washing up, she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to make tofu.

“I’ll help you push the millstone.”

A deep and magnetic voice came from behind her, along with a familiar breath..
