Yang looked doting on her face: "You kid, you have very weird ideas, you are just different from us country folk."

"If you want to, just do it. If you don't know, you'll know it's wasted effort."

After the mushrooms were cooked, Lin Shuangshuang squeezed the mushrooms dry and stir-fried them with the haggis, and the aroma instantly filled the yard.

Yang smelled the fragrance and kept muttering about how it was a waste of money.

When the food was served, although everyone was swallowing their saliva, no one touched the plate of fried pork with poisonous mushrooms.

Yang kept saying, "Shuangshuang, eat less."

"Just take a few bites and taste it. We'll make sure it's not poisonous before we eat it."

"This is a poisonous mushroom. If you make it with a bang, what will you do if you get poisoned?"

"Are you sure the antidote you prepared can detoxify the red mushroom?"

"Mom, if you don't believe me, I will eat it for several days."

"..."

"Mom, how long did it take for Uncle Yang's family to get poisonous after eating poisonous mushrooms?"

"Just over an hour, right?"

"Okay, let's see if I have anything to do in an hour."

After Lin Shuangshuang finished eating, she went to give Gu Hanzhou an acupuncture treatment.

After he fell asleep, he poured a basket of Wutao vegetable seedlings on the roof to dry.

After drying, rub it with your hands, and you will get out some particles the size of black sesame seeds. These particles are the seeds of Wutaicai.

Coming down from the roof, Lin Shuangshuang dumped two baskets of acorns in a sunny place to expose them.

After the sun-drying, the acorns will crack when you pinch them with your hands, and then they can be peeled.

The Gu family saw that she was busy and there was no sign of poisoning at all.

"Shuangshuang, are you really not feeling well?"

Lin Shuangshuang shook his head: "No, nothing happened to me."

"Mom, let me discuss something with you."

"I'm going to hire someone to go to the mountains to collect porcini mushrooms and acorns. What do you think I'll charge you for a penny a pound?"

"What, there's no need to take care of people. If you want as much as you want, mother will pick it up for you."

"I want...all of them."

"..."

Lin Shuangshuang smiled: "Mom, the ripening season of this kind of boletus is from July to October."

"It's October now. If we don't harvest it, it will be rotten in a few days."

"So I think we should pay someone to pick all these poisonous mushrooms before they rot."

"After it's dried, we can eat it ourselves or make it into food and sell it. It's better than rotting in the ground."

"This is all money!"

Yang hesitated: "If we pay people to pick poisonous mushrooms, doesn't that mean we are telling the whole village that these mushrooms are edible?"

"Aren't you not allowed to tell anyone?"

"Mom, everyone in the village knows that I am a doctor. I do not collect poisonous mushrooms for food, but only for making medicinal materials."

"Hehehe, you are still smart."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to my mother, but one penny and one pound of wages is too much."

“These are things no one in the mountains wants, so there’s no need to pay them so much.”

"Besides, it's the slack season now, and there are idle people in every household."

"Those women who work hard can easily pick up hundreds of pounds in one day. Where can we get so much money to pay them?"

"I think one penny and ten pounds is about the same."

"..."

Lin Shuangshuang felt that her mother-in-law was a typical capitalist exploiter.

"Isn't it too little? Is there anyone willing to do it?"

"You can earn more than ten or twenty pennies a day without leaving the village. You can't find such a good thing without a lantern, so who wouldn't want to do it?"

Lin Shuangshuang thought about it and realized that there was nothing wrong with it. The strong men on the dock only earned thirty cents for a day's hard work.

"Okay, I'll leave the mushroom harvesting to my mother-in-law."

"I plan to wash out all the large intestines and sheep feces today, and then go to town to sell them tomorrow."

"Okay, Tomorrow Mom will go with you."

Yang smiled kindly, becoming more and more satisfied with this new city wife.

He is not squeamish at all, he is more hardworking and willing to work than those two, and the key is that he is also devoted to Xiao Si'er.

Even though Xiao Si'er's brain was broken now, she didn't dislike it at all.

The Gu family is lucky to have such a good wife.

When cleaning the intestines in the afternoon, Mrs. Yang called her other two daughters-in-law to help.

Although Ms. Wang was reluctant, she felt that it smelled bad, that the water was cold, and that she wanted to nurse her baby...

But there was no delay in the work at hand, and it was done so neatly.

Although Ms. Liu didn't say anything, she just didn't work.

Yang and Gu Jinguo took a group of children up the mountain. The two adults picked porcini mushrooms and the children picked acorns.

When anyone asked, they all said that Lin Shuangshuang needed it for making medicinal materials.

She was not in a hurry to hire someone to collect the poisonous mushrooms. She wanted to wait until tomorrow to confirm that Lin Shuangshuang was not poisoned before spending money to hire someone.

If the mushrooms were really poisonous, it would be too late to save someone with the little money the family had, and there would be no spare money to hire someone to harvest the mushrooms.

The three daughters-in-law of the Gu family worked hard all afternoon and finally cleaned all the offal from the more than 100 kilograms of sheep they bought yesterday.

Before dark, Lin Shuangshuang put these in a large iron pot and cooked them. When Yang came back with the children, a large pot of braised food was already ready.

Then I cooked the mushrooms in advance and can fry them directly tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, Yang originally wanted to go into the city with Lin Shuangshuang, but Liu rushed to go.

First she wanted to sell the hairpins she had made in the past few days.

Secondly, she wanted to see if Lin Shuangshuang's fried haggis with poisonous mushrooms could be sold.

If she could really make money, she must learn this money-making skill.

The two men carried a large clay pot, a bunch of lotus leaves and a steel scale and set off.

We didn't go far before we took Uncle Wang's ox cart and wandered into the city together.

After getting on the bus, Lin Shuangshuang asked about the price. The fare was two cents per person. Even if a large can occupied one person's seat, two cents would be charged.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang, we are all from the village, so don't charge for this jar."

"It's not easy for us poor people to make some money. My brothers and sisters haven't earned this penny yet, so they have to pay six penny first..."

Lin Shuangshuang frowned. It seemed that Mr. Liu was helping her negotiate the price, but in fact he was hinting that she would pay for the car.

Originally, she planned to go out with Liu's family.

But after being plotted like this by Mrs. Liu, she didn't want to get out of it.

I have been thinking about taking advantage of trivial matters all day long, and I am not too tired to panic.

Lin Shuangshuang handed Uncle Wang four cents. Uncle Wang looked embarrassed and was about to speak.

"Sister-in-law, Uncle Wang's family has no land, so he relies on ox carts to haul people and goods to earn some hard money. Don't take advantage of him and pay the cart fare quickly."

Mrs. Liu's face turned green when she heard Lin Shuangshuang's words. If there were no outsiders, she would have scolded her directly.

"Sister-in-law, I get up before dawn to help you work. It's okay if you don't thank me. Why do you still ask me to pay for a ride in a bullock cart?"

"Sister-in-law, I can sell it by myself. It's still too late for you to go down now."

Lin Shuangshuang stared at the package in her arms with a sneer. Was she taking her for a fool?

Who doesn't know that she went to town to sell hairpins?

If she had known that Liu was this kind of person, she shouldn't have taught her how to make silk flowers...
