nTherefore, she planned to buy some soybeans and test them a few times to see if they could be used to make soy sauce.

n

nShe had soy sauce in her space, but she’d run out eventually.

n

nAs for white sugar, it was both simple and difficult. The simple was the production method. The difficult part was the raw materials, which were either sweet potatoes, sugar cane, or sweet beets.

n

nIn ancient times, the farmers mainly grew grain, such as rice, wheat, and sorghum. After paying the rice tax, most of the rice would be turned into the fine grain and sold. Then, the families would eat the coarse grains.

n

nNot many farmers grew sugar cane and beets because they had no production value. They couldn’t be sold for money.

n

nTherefore, if Lin Yuelan wanted to source white sugar, she had to solve this issue first. Regardless, she had to take this step by step. She shouldn’t take more than what she could chew.

n

n“What vegetable is this? It’s so delicious!” Guo Bing complimented.

n

nJiang Zhennan said, “this is a wild vegetable from the roadside. It’s called Bucktooth! Moreover, this kind of wild vegetable can be found everywhere. ”

n

n“What? Is this a wild vegetable?” Guo Bing exclaimed. The soldiers often dug up wild vegetables to eat, so why had they never eaten this kind of wild vegetable before? Then again, they were men who didn’t know how to cook. It was normal for them not to recognize the stuff that they ate on the battlefield.

n

n“Oh, by the way, boss, how did you know that this wild vegetable is called Bucktooth? Boss, could it be that you’ve eaten this before?” Guo Bing was a little puzzled and said, “That’s impossible. We often went to dig for wild vegetables, but we never heard you mention this bucktooth before.”

n

nJiang Zhennan lowered his head and ate his food seriously. He said, “It’s Miss Yue ‘Er who told me about it.”

n

nGuo Bing immediately looked at Lin Yuelan in surprise and gave her a thumbs up. He exclaimed, “Miss Lin, you’re amazing!”

n

nAt that moment, a pair of chopsticks flew over and swiped the bucktooth away from his plate.

n

n“Hey, Little Six! How dare you snatch the food from my plate?” Guo Bing was puzzled. He shouted, “Where’s the respect for your senior?”

n

nLittle Six hurriedly put the vegetable into his mouth. As he chewed, he said, “this vegetable is really delicious!” He just ignored Guo Bing’s impudent words.

n

nGuo Bing was so angry that he glared at the boy, who was usually simple and honest. He did not expect Little Six to snatch the food from him. He was really angry. Guo Bing decided to find some time to teach Little Six a lesson in the future. The narrow-minded Guo Bing wrestled Little Six to the ground every day after that. That was his ‘training’.

n

nThe snatching of vegetables continued…

n

nJiang Zhennan appeared well-mannered, but in reality, his chopsticks were moving faster than anyone else’s. He was always one step ahead of everyone else.

n

n“Hey, boss, you’re being too unkind,” Guo Bing said as he ate. He was dissatisfied with Jiang Zhennan. “How can you snatch everything? Shouldn’t you leave some for me?”

n

nLin Yiwei and Doctor Zhang were two elderly people, but they were as fast as the youngsters at the dining table. They praised Lin Yuelan. “Lan ‘Er, when did you find out that this coarse grass can be eaten?”

n

nThe villagers called bucktooth coarse grass because its leaves were flat and coarse.

n

nOne of them worked in the fields, and the other picked herbs in the mountains every day. Of course, they recognized the wild vegetable at a glance. However, it was called coarse grass to them. They had seen coarse grass growing beside ditches. They had no idea it was edible!

n

nAfter all, the villagers used them as feed for the livestock.

n

n“It was three years ago.” Lin Yuelan said indifferently, “I was young, and I didn’t know how to farm or grow vegetables. I didn’t have money or food either. In order to survive, I had to dig up some wild vegetables in the field to fill my stomach.”
