When she was given coins, she directly asked the children who received the coins how much pigweed they had gotten.

What Zhao Yuanle didn't expect was that the children here were really bad at math.

We have already agreed on how much it will cost for one bag of pigweed, and how much it will cost for several people to get it together.

Many of them remembered how much pigweed they got, but they couldn't even calculate how many copper coins they could exchange for it.

Zhao Yuanle was stunned.

She always felt that this kind of simple addition and subtraction should be possible even if she didn't learn it.

But the fact is that these kids really don't know how.

That day she came to give me money for a pigweed, so she didn't find out about this problem.

Probably seeing Zhao Yuanle's surprise, many of these children blushed and lowered their heads.

One of the little girls was mumbling to herself.

"We are so stupid."

Seeing this, Zhao Yuanle quickly stopped.

"You are not stupid, you just don't know because there is no one to teach you. It is getting bright early now. I will come earlier and you will come earlier. Can I teach you how to count more than ten thumbs?"

The children nodded in unison.

Zhao Yuanle smiled and gave them coins one by one, then took his own things, called his pigs, and a slightly huge team started moving together.

On the way, you can see the old people in this village.

The old man looked at the pig that Zhao Yuanle was bringing, and his wrinkled face started to smile.

Someone among them talked to Zhao Yuanle.

"Is your pig so obedient?"

Zhao Yuanle smiled and touched the wild boar's head: "Yes."

An old man looked at the wild boar behind Zhao Yuanle and couldn't help but be speechless.

"You're such a shameless pig, and your fangs have grown out. What if you hit someone?"

Only then did Zhao Yuanle notice the wild boar's growing tusks and the increasingly thick and black mane on its back.

She met the old man's eyes and smiled: "They won't bite people."

The old man said again: "You can control it. How can you, a little girl, defeat a wild boar?"

Facing the old man's doubts, Zhao Yuanle could understand.

She thought about it and quickly thought of a way to prove herself and reassure these old people.

She stopped, the pigs stopped too, and the children next to them also stopped, and they all looked at her curiously.

She turned around, knelt down, stretched out one hand and grabbed her wild boar, then stood up easily, then turned around and smiled at the old people.

"Look, these wild boars are probably not as ferocious as me. How dare they hurt people when I'm here? Besides, I've been letting pigs loose for a long time. They were in our village, Zhaojia'ao, for a long time. What's going on?

nothing.

If you are still not at ease, go and ask around."

Seeing Zhao Yuanle's strength, several old people were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, showing their incomplete teeth and kept moaning.

One of the old men couldn't help but ask: "Are you Zhao Ercheng's daughter?"

Zhao Yuanle nodded: "Yes."

The man nodded hastily.

"No wonder, you are as strong as your father."

Upon hearing this, several old people around him suddenly became enthusiastic towards Zhao Yuanle.

In recent years, due to the small number of people in their village, they have relied on Zhaojia'ao for water grabbing, disputes, and other resources.

There was a very powerful Zhao Ercheng in Zhaojia'ao, who was the most fierce in fights, as all the elders in the village here knew.

Because of this relationship, several old people praised Zhao Yuanle for his greatness, and they no longer had any worries about Zhao Yuanle's pigs.

These old people walked along for a while, and two of them took their children home along the way.

There was another one who followed Zhao Yuanle until he was about to leave the village.

Zhao Yuanle saw that the old man was smiling all the time, so he took the initiative to ask.

"Old lady, what do you want to do?"

The old man looked around carefully, and after realizing that no one was there, he approached Zhao Yuanle and asked with a smile: "Sister, I heard that I will give you a bag of pigweed. Do you have any copper coins?"

Zhao Yuanle never thought of hiding it when she did it. Now that adults know about it, she admits it frankly.

"Yes, these little kids are just playing around, so I just want them to do this for me."

The old man rubbed his hands and looked up at Zhao Yuanle: "Sister, can I cut the pig grass for you? I don't want more. I can carry a bamboo pole and a copper plate."

She felt that even if she only had one copper, it was still a profit. Pigweed was wild anyway, so she was idle when she was idle.

After hearing this, Zhao Yuanle couldn't help but smile awkwardly when he saw the old man's expectant smile.

She thought, this might be called involution, a complete vicious competition.

But she could also understand the old man.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yuanle said: "Well, actually, I don't mainly collect pigweed. I just want to give these little kids some snacks."

As soon as Zhao Yuanle said this, the old man couldn't help but said: "Snacks? You can't even eat enough. The copper coins they gave last time were given to the adults in the family, and it's probably the same this time."

Zhao Yuanle: "It's okay, I will use it on them in the future anyway.

I want to say that I only acted like this because they were babies, not because I didn’t want to move, so I came to collect pigweed for money.

Just say this and forget it.

In fact, you can ask your baby to cut more when the time comes, and it will be the same."

Hearing this, the old man was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything more.

She stared at Zhao Yuanle's pigs and asked Zhao Yuanle if he could leave one for her when the sow gave birth to piglets.

The old man: "I see that pigs like you grow fast. I have a daughter-in-law at home now. She has nothing to do all day long, so she happens to be raising pigs."

Zhao Yuanle smiled and said: "If there are many children, I will keep them for you. I will try my best. After all, our village also has a lot of things we want."

The old man nodded and did not continue walking. She stood at the entrance of the village, said goodbye to Zhao Yuanle, turned around, and walked back with her body bent.

Zhao Yuanle was walking on the road with his pigs, and he couldn't help but think of a question.

As more and more pigs are raised, there will definitely not be enough pig grass.

After raising pigs on a large scale, she is afraid that she will have to plant hogweed in a planned way.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Yuanle felt that there was a lot to know about growing hogweed.

To ensure high yield, small area, and easy survival, the plant must grow for at least half of the year.

Moreover, how to harvest pigweed in different areas according to its growth cycle to ensure a continuous supply is also a problem.

Zhao Yuanle sighed.

You have to slowly explore and learn these by yourself.

Her pigs seemed to sense Zhao Yuanle's emotions, and each one began to grunt and move closer to Zhao Yuanle.

The wild boar was especially excited. It stood beside Zhao Yuanle and motioned for Zhao Yuanle to hug it again.

It really likes the feeling of being lifted up by its own pig king at a close distance.
