Shui Ling sighed, "Isn't the groundwater abundant? If the spring water dries up, it would be really fatal."

Su Qin smiled helplessly, "Don't we have a well? We're not afraid."

Shuiling knew that the wells obtained through the lottery would not be short of water, but its principle was to extract groundwater and turn it into well water. Once the groundwater was gone, there would be no water in the wells.

Su Qin thought for a moment and asked, "Is everything okay there? If you need anything, tell mom and she will get it for you."

Shui Ling shook his head, "I don't need anything there, don't worry, I think we can come back when things are stable there."

"Well... there's no need to come back in a hurry, otherwise all the pressure will be on you. Just let the emperor bear it." Su Qin actually said this.

I think I want Jinse to exercise more, otherwise how can he be a good emperor.

Shui Ling smiled slightly and comforted: "Mom, it's quite fun where we are. There are many places waiting for me to open up wasteland. By the way, if you can help me get some coarse grain seeds."

"Okay, I'll prepare it for you." Su Qin nodded.

Suddenly she remembered something, raised her head and said, "Wait for me."

After saying that, she ran out.

Shui Ling was puzzled, what was her mother doing?

After waiting for a while, Su Qin came back carrying a large basket of things. She put the basket down and pushed it into the office door.

"Mom, take it."

Shui Ling looked at the basket in confusion, and it turned out to be a basket of dumplings.

"Mom? Did you wrap it?"

Su Qin nodded, "Yes, take it and eat it."

"Okay." Shui Ling swallowed hard. My mother must be very tired from making so many dumplings.

Su Qin smiled and said: "Go back quickly, the frozen dumplings will thaw in a while."

"Hey, I'll go back and eat dumplings." Shui Ling smiled and left the space carrying the basket.

Gong Qianyu saw his daughter-in-law coming out, so he asked, "Is it done?"

Shui Ling nodded, "Well, okay, let's cook the dumplings."

Only then did Gong Qianyu see a basket of frozen dumplings, "There are so many, we can't finish them all."

Shui Ling smiled and said: "After cooking it, we can eat it together. There is still one for each person."

"Okay." Gong Qianyu nodded.

The two of them cooked the dumplings and distributed them to the clan members. Everyone could taste the dumplings one by one. Dawu gave a few more, and the rest was just enough for Shuiling, Gong Qianyu and Ciyi to eat.

Ciyi ate the dumplings and asked, "Did you make them?"

Shui Ling shook her head, "My mother made it happen."

Ci Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "How are you, mother?"

Shuiling was startled, mother?

She looked at Gong Qianyu, who smiled and didn't mean to get angry.

Shui Ling understood immediately and said with a smile: "Mother is fine, she is just worried about us, but I told you that we will find a way to get back when everything is settled here."

Ciyi's eyelids were lowered, but joy flashed in his eyes, but his expression remained unchanged, "Yes, it will be fine."

After the three of them had eaten, Ciyi stood up and said, "You can do whatever you want, I'll go and do the work."

Although she didn't know what he was busy with, Shui Ling didn't stop him, "Okay."

After Ciyi left, Gong Qianyu asked: "Is the food over there edible?"

Shui Ling looked up and saw that most of the things planted in the white forest were mature. Pumpkin vines were crawling all over the ground, lush and green.

"Pick pumpkin leaves for cooking." Shui Ling said with a smile.

Gong Qianyu nodded, "Okay, I really miss pumpkin dishes."

"Let's go." Shui Ling found a basket and the two of them went to pick the young leaves of the pumpkin.

There are burrs on the stems of pumpkin leaves, which need to be peeled. The stems and leaves are delicious stir-fried or cooked in soup.

When picking leaves, Shui Ling found a lot of green pumpkins. In a few days, these pumpkins will be golden.

Gong Qianyu asked: "What's that over there? It doesn't look like a pumpkin."

Shui Ling turned to look over, squinted her eyes, and then said in surprise: "That's a loofah. This is the first time I've seen a loofah here."

Gong Qianyu asked in confusion: "What is loofah?"

Shui Ling laughed and said, "Go over and have a look."

The luffa vine is slightly thinner than the pumpkin vine. It should be that the pumpkin seeds are mixed with luffa seeds, so it just grows out.

Shui Ling praised: "Luffa is both a vegetable and a medicinal material. I couldn't find luffa before, so I used Tongcao instead of luffa."

Gong Qianyu was confused, pursed his lips and didn't ask anything.

Shuiling found a mature loofah at the root of the vine, picked it and cut it open. The seeds inside were already ripe, and she carefully cleaned them out.

Gong Qianyu took a sniff and asked, "It doesn't have any special taste. Can this be cooked and eaten like pumpkin?"

Shui Ling smiled and said, "I'll make it for you to eat. Steam it first."

"Yeah." Gong Qianyu nodded, and the two of them came to the stove.

Shui Ling said: "Help me cut some ingredients for the cold salad."

Gong Qianyu replied: "Okay." He took the green onions, peeled them, washed them and chopped them into small pieces.

Shui Ling took out the steamed loofah, stirred it with chopsticks and picked out a lot of filaments.

Gong Qianyu asked in surprise: "Is this loofah?"

Shui Ling smiled and said, "Yes, it can be eaten cold, stir-fried or stewed. When the ones over there are ripe, I'll order them for my mother and the others. I haven't eaten loofah before in this world."

Gong Qianyu nodded and asked in confusion: "Where do the seeds come from?"

Shui Ling shook her head, "I don't know, maybe it's mixed in pumpkin seeds. Anyway, it's good to have loofah."

After a pause, she added: "When this loofah grows old and is dried in the sun, it can be used as medicine. It can also be used to wash dishes."

"Huh?" Gong Qianyu was confused and didn't quite understand how to use a loofah to wash dishes.

Shui Ling smiled while mixing the loofah. After mixing it, she handed it to Gong Qianyu and said, "Try it."

Gong Qianyu nodded, took a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth. The taste was surprisingly refreshing, "It's delicious."

Shui Ling smiled and said: "It's delicious, but there are very few loofahs. They need to be cultivated more."

Gong Qianyu asked again: "What should we do?"

Shuiling explained in detail how to grow loofah, which is actually similar to growing pumpkins.

After talking about planting loofahs, Shuiling raised her eyebrows and said, "The loofahs are ripe, why aren't the pumpkins ripe? Isn't it a pumpkin?"

She ran back to check on the pumpkin vine, and finally picked a large pumpkin one foot in diameter and went back.

When I was chopping with a knife, the knife actually got caught in the pumpkin.

Gong Qianyu smiled and said, "I'll do it." He thought Shuiling was too weak to chop.

Shui Ling shook her head, "This is not a pumpkin."

"What is that? Can it be eaten?" Gong Qianyu is more concerned about whether this thing is edible. If it is not edible, there is no need to bother taking care of it.

Shuiling touched her nose and said, "This is a Japanese melon."

"What is a Japanese melon?" Gong Qianyu was confused, hearing this name for the first time.

Shui Ling laughed dryly and moved away, "You can cut it into a piece as big as your palm."

"Okay." Gong Qianyu cut the Japanese melon into pieces. The inside was golden and looked like a ripe melon, but why didn't the outer skin change color?

Shui Ling smiled and said: "The skin of Japanese melon is dark green, and the flesh inside is golden or orange. You can eat it directly after steaming it."

"Yes." Gong Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief. If he could eat, then his work was not in vain.

Shui Ling began to select the Japanese melon seeds that had been set aside. She swallowed her saliva and wanted to fry them and eat them directly.
