Traveling through time with a house, I teach people all over the country how to farm

Chapter 435 Wild Hawthorn

Zheng Sisi was worried again: "Do you think Zhimin and the others will clamor to go?"

She kept mumbling to herself and trying to think of a solution. Sheng Zhen sat next to her and smiled, just looking at Zheng Sisi without saying anything. Zheng Sisi scratched her head and said, "If they insist on going, I will say that we will explore the way first, and then take them up the mountain after we find something good."

Sheng Zhen nodded: "Okay!"

After the matter was confirmed, Zheng Sisi went to trick her grandmother and three little sisters into playing mahjong at home, or to go to the farm to take a look. Old Madam Zheng also knew that Zheng Sisi went up the mountain for serious business, so she decided that a few people should stay at home.

The next morning, three strong farmers came to the courtyard. Captain Liu invited them to have breakfast. The cooks also prepared a lot of food and put it in several backpacks for them to carry.

Captain Liu was also very excited to be able to go up the mountain today. The most excited ones were Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu, who couldn't wait to howl like wolves early in the morning.

After setting off, Zheng Sisi and Sheng Zhen found three farmers to learn about the situation in the mountains and then chose a random direction to move forward.

Walking further in, the mountain was very quiet in the morning. This quietness was disturbed by Zheng Sisi and her group. The sounds of their walking and talking startled the birds perched on the trees, which flapped their wings and flew away.

The outermost part of the mountain is often visited by people who are chopping wood and digging wild vegetables, so all the extra branches and weeds are cut cleanly.

As expected, one of the farmers, Da Zhuang, said, "There are many people chopping wood here, and the weeds and dead leaves are collected by the people in the village to make fertilizer, so it is very clean here. They don't dare to go further up, and they should be able to find wild fruits there."

Among the three farmers there is another one named Daniu and another one named Zhuzi.

Zhuzi continued, "The fruit is too sour, and greedy children won't eat it."

Daniu joked with him: "Then you went up the mountain to pick some for your wife to eat a few days ago."

Zhuzi was teased like this, and his dark face turned red: "That's, that's what she wants to eat."

Zheng Sisi suddenly replied: "Your wife is pregnant!"

Zhuzi opened his mouth in surprise and asked after a long while: "Princess, none of us told you how you knew that."

Zheng Sisi said mysteriously, "It's been a secret for several months."

Zhuzi: "She was just three months old and she said she wanted to eat something sour, so I went up the mountain to pick some."

Zheng Sisi: "Congratulations! Send me a message when it's the full moon, and I'll come to the full moon banquet."

Zhuzi scratched his head with a silly smile: "Okay! Haha!"

Others followed suit and congratulated him! The atmosphere along the way was very good.

After walking for a while, we arrived at the place where people picked wild fruits. This was already the middle of the outer area.

Zhong Ruiyu saw red fruits hanging on the trees not far ahead, and he said excitedly: "Look, there are wild fruits over there, I'll pick some to eat."

Then he ran away with Zheng Zhiyuan. Zheng Sisi also walked closer and saw that these were all hawthorn trees. She looked around and saw several more hawthorn trees nearby.

Zheng Sisi asked: "Are there many wild hawthorn trees in this area?"

Daniu pointed in a direction and said, "There is a mountain in this direction. It is too far from here and we cannot reach here to cut wood, so there are many trees."

Zheng Sisi said: "Fortunately you didn't cut it down, it would be all money!"

The three farmers thought the princess was wrong: "It's impossible. No one in town buys it. At most, the medicine shop will charge a few kilograms. How can it be turned into money?"

Zheng Sisi: "That's because other people don't know the value of the fruits. Tomorrow you can take people up the mountain to pick them all. I'll buy them for three cents per pound."

The three of them couldn't believe it. Da Zhuang said excitedly, "Princess, if you really want to take it, it's three cents a pound."

Zheng Sisi: "Really? We'll take as many as we can, but we may not be able to pick them today. You have to take me further in to see if there are any other wild fruits."

Thinking that they could come to pick wild hawthorns to make money tomorrow, several people nodded vigorously: "Okay, I know there are other fruits in another mountain, I will take the princess to see them."

Zheng Sisi: "Well, the more I can find, the better. You can also take me to see some that you don't know."

The three of them nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

At this time, Zhong Ruiyu and his companion came back, each of them wrapped a bag of hawthorns in their clothes.

Zheng Zhiyuan walked up to her and handed two to Zheng Sisi: "Cousin, try them."

Zheng Sisi took it and said with a smile: "Have you tried it?"

Zheng Zhiyuan: “Not yet.”

He gave two each to Duke Zheng and the third prince.

Zhong Ruiyu took one and wiped it on his clothes, then put it in his mouth, and with a "crack", "Wow, puh puh puh!"

That sour expression turned into an emoticon, with his eyebrows wrinkled and trembling.

This made everyone laugh! The hawthorn that Zheng Zhiyuan was about to put into his mouth got stuck in his mouth. He didn't know whether to eat it or not.

Duke Zheng laughed the loudest: "Fortunately I was prepared and didn't eat with them, hahahaha!"
