Li Yao was startled when she heard the voice, and then saw a virtual screen in front of her.
Looking around, the open space is about four acres, and there is a small courtyard in the middle. From the outside, it looks like a three-story wooden house inside.
In the right front of the house, there is a well.
In front of the house on the left, there is a small pond.
The surrounding area of the open space is a vast expanse of whiteness.
After sometime, she roughly understands this a planting space, only half an acre of land is available for planting and there is also a department store in it.
Currently the all items are locked, needs to earn points and level up system, so that she can unlock seeds and buy things from department store
Li Yao looked at the level 0 in the upper left corner of the screen and the balance of coins behind it. The balance of 100 coins seems to be a bonus points.
Li Yao looked at the seeds that could be planted, and now only Garlic was unlocked, so she bought Garlic . For 25 coins, you can buy garlic seeds that are planted in half an acre of the land, which is good.
In this Kingdom there is no garlic, and the system unlocked garlic seeds. If garlic is promoted, she can make a lot of money.
Li Yao looked at the countdown on the Garlic on the screen, it was 60 minutes, which means that these Garlic only need 60 minutes to be planted to ripen and harvest.
She also bought a chicken farm. Level 0 can also unlock the chicken farm, but the pig farm, dairy farm and sheep farm need to reach a certain level before they can be unlocked.
Li Yao bought the building of the chicken farm and installed it, then opened the chicken farm and bought one chicken to keep. The second one needs 100 coins. It takes 6 hours for a chicken farm to harvest eggs.
It seems like a long time has passed, but it only took a few minutes for Li Yao to discover this farm system.
Li Yao looked at the time on the system screen. It was around 12:00 in the afternoon.
Li Yao went to cut a piece of old bamboo and made a simple bow and arrow, then called the whole family together.
Seeing the bow and arrow, Wang Xiao Si's eyes lit up eagerly: "Mother, is this for me?"
"Go on, what's a kid playing with bows and arrows for," Li Yao said. "This afternoon, you're all going into the mountains with me."
"What are we going to do in the mountains?" He Xiaoya asked weakly, revealing some fear.
The other day she heard of a family in White Cloud Village so destitute they ate up all their grains in one go, then the whole family suicide together.
Could mother want to...
"Mother, our family still has half a bowl of rice left..."
"That bit you hid wouldn't even make a full bowl of congee for me," Li Yao said. "In a while, you all go dig up wild vegetables. I'll go see if I can hunt some wild chicken and rabbits."
The children all goggled their eyes at each other.
Since when did Mother know how to hunt?
After crossing over a few hills, Li Yao arrived at the edge of the dense forest in the mountains.
This area was relatively sparsely populated by villagers, so it was still possible to dig up vegetables here, but there was no trace of medicinal herbs to be seen. Li Yao let the children dig vegetables nearby, while she went into the woods alone.
After trekking for over an hour, she didn't find many herbs, but she did have an unexpected gain.
She saw a lot of spices.
Star anise, fennel, cinnamon, bay leaves, these four commonly used and could be bought at the market.
But cloves, Sichuan pepper, wild ginger, cardamom, cubeb pepper, and lesser galangal, the people of this world had not yet discovered their uses.
So she gathered some of each, to use for cooking dishes and pickling in the future.
When she was about to go deeper into the woods, a north-south valley blocked her way.
On both sides were steep cliffs, more than a hundred meters deep, with no end in sight. The trees and weeds in the valley were dense, and there were no signs of human activity on the cliffs.
It was this valley that blocked the villagers from going up the mountain. Even experienced hunters had never gone down it. But Li Yao was bold and skilled, what was an insurmountable precipice to the villagers, was a piece of cake to her.
After carefully observing the terrain, Li Yao plotted a route, using the trees and weeds on the cliff to slowly make her way into the valley.
The cliff was indeed dangerous. Even for her, without any protection, she didn't dare go down too quickly. It took a full half hour before she finally stepped onto the valley floor.
Being in the valley felt like entering a whole new world, a treasury of resources.
All kinds of herbs could be seen almost everywhere.
Aconite, white peony root, peony root, ephedra, Fritillaria, salvia, ophiopogon... and they were all a few years old. In no time, she had filled half a basket.
After digging up a clump of ephedra, Li Yao suddenly heard two chirping sounds, which made her heart leap with joy.
Wild chicken!
She put down her basket and took up her bow and arrows, stealthily approaching the source. Soon she saw a small, gray chicken pecking around in the undergrowth.
It would peck a few times, then warily raise its head to listen for sounds around it.
Li Yao approached to within about three meters in the gentlest manner, before drawing her bow to shoot an arrow.
Whoosh!
The bamboo arrow hit the wild chicken's thigh. It let out a shrill cry and panickedly tried to escape.
Li Yao pounced and grabbed it, twisting its neck.
And just like that, she easily caught a wild chicken.
Where there was one, there would be two. Where there were two, there would be three. Li Yao quickly shot two more nearby.
The three wild chickens were all small, probably a little over a pound each. They looked very young and tender. This kind of small chicken had tender meat, perfect for frying or roasting.
But it was a little lacking in quantity.
However, fortune favored her, or perhaps the valley was just too abundant in resources. She soon encountered a plump wild rabbit and successfully shot it down too.
Three small wild chickens and one large wild rabbit, dinner tonight was finally enough.
Bringing the herbs into town tomorrow could also earn some money, which solved the pressing problem at hand.
Climbing up the cliff, Li Yao oriented herself and quickly headed home.
