After leaving the forest, Su Ziling went to call for the bullock cart. It happened that today was not a market, and the fourth uncle and the others were still harvesting corn and did not come to set up a stall, so Old Man Li's bullock cart was idle.

It’s not too idle. The ox carts used to collect crops have been pulling corn for the past two days. The terrain here is relatively flat and the roads are wide, so they can use ox carts. Unlike Su Ziling’s village, the land is basically steep and the roads are wide. It is also full of potholes, and even bullock carts cannot pass through it, so they can only use pack vehicles.

Mr. Li was quite surprised to see Su Ziling, with a smile on his face, "I haven't seen you in the county town for a long time, Qing Yatou. Why do you have time to go to the city today?"

"Send Zimu to the academy and sell some mountain goods on the way." Su Ziling replied.

Old Man Li nodded. Hearing her talk about mountain products, he suddenly remembered, "In the past few days, many children have been picking up ice powder fruits in the mountains and fields next to us. I heard they are from your village. What is the use of these things?"

He thought that if the children could walk for an hour to pick it, it must be something good, so it wouldn't be wrong to ask.

Su Ziling was quite surprised. She didn't expect them to run so far!

"Yes, in our village, we originally saw that there were too many ice powder fruits on the roadside and we didn't have time to pick them ourselves, so we thought of asking the children to help pick them and give them a penny for ten kilograms. Unexpectedly, they all ran away Come over here."

"Ten pounds and a penny??" Old Man Li's voice rose a little, obviously he couldn't believe it.

"Yes." Su Ziling nodded.

Ten pounds a penny! I'll be a good boy!

Old Man Li's eyes lit up, and the hand holding the cow rope trembled slightly with excitement.

There are quite a lot of these things here, on the roadside and on the edges of the fields. They grow very big and bear a lot of fruits.

Aunt Li had told him more than once that the carefully tended crops in this field were not as good as the grass on the roadside, which grew abundantly and vigorously. She said it would be great if these were crops.

"Do you still want it at home? I can probably pick one or two hundred pounds here." Old Man Li suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.

"Yes!" Su Ziling's eyes lit up, "As much as you want. Uncle Li, if you know where to find it, you can pick it and carry it over with an ox."

How much do you want?

Old Man Li really couldn't sit still now. The one or two hundred kilograms he just mentioned was a conservative estimate. The few pieces he knew alone weighed more than one or two hundred kilograms.

When the time comes, we will go around the nearby mountains and pick some more from other places, not just one or two hundred kilograms, but three or four hundred kilograms is possible.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became, baring his teeth and grinning from ear to ear.

This stuff is all over the mountains and plains, you can make a penny or ten pounds! With what he knows, he can make a small fortune.

Besides, this thing is not edible and does not require any effort. It is a business without capital. The only function is to cut it when it is young and feed it to pigs and cows. The old cows do not even bring food. I didn’t expect that now It can actually be sold for money.

"Okay, as long as you say this, I will feel free to pick it. I will pick it and bring it to you in two days." After speaking, Old Man Li asked again, "Do you have any requirements?"

Su Ziling: "I only want yellow and dry ones, but no green ones."

"You can't pick the green ones, they're not ripe yet." Old Man Li confirmed, "Do you still want the sweet peppers you harvested last time? Your aunt and I dried some more during this time."

"I want it!" She really wants as much pepper as she can get. With the expansion of her business, she is now afraid that what she grows is not enough. She definitely still wants the wild ones. The more the merrier.

Thinking of preserved eggs, she asked Old Man Li, "Uncle Li, do you raise ducks in your village? I want to buy some duck eggs."

"Ducks?" Old Man Li thought for a while, "I have raised some, but I don't know if there are any eggs. Let me ask you when I get back. If there are any, I will send them to you in two days."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, Mr. Li."

An hour later, the bullock cart stopped at the gate of the city. Su Ziling gave money and asked Old Man Li to wait for her for a while. She would go back later.

Su Ziling and Su Yongan first sent Su Zimu to the school gate. It was a day off and the school was very lively.

She sent Su Zimu to the school and took out the things she had brought for him.

"There are three jars of fungus paste here, and a few August melons. You need to eat the August melons quickly. They won't be long. Here are some fried dried sweet potatoes and melon seeds and peanuts. There are also two months of cakes here. Remember to eat them. "

Su Ziling took out everything and warned him carefully.

Seeing that so many things were given to him, Su Zimu pursed his lips and said, "Sister, there's no need to bring me so much. I won't be hungry in the school. You can take and sell this fungus sauce."

"The house is still short of your fungus sauce, keep it for yourself," Su Ziling said, then took out a purse from her arms and gave him three hundred coins.

Su Zimu didn't answer. He put his hands behind his back and said, "No need to give it to me. I have money. Grandma already gave it to me when I went out in the morning."

Su A'nai gave him two hundred coins in the morning, and he didn't have anything to buy now. He had already paid for the food, so he really didn't need the money.

He spent ten of the two hundred pennies last time and took the rest back intact.

When he went out in the morning, Su A'nai gave him another two hundred coins. He also said he didn't want it, but Su Yong's A'nai gave it to him anyway. When he went out, he always said that the poor family is rich, the poor family is rich, and the person is rich. There is light on your face, so prepare more in case of emergencies.

Su Ziling thought for a while, took back two hundred, and handed him one hundred, "Take it, just bring it back when you don't use it up. I'm afraid it will be needed suddenly and you don't have any money, so what should I do?"

Su Ziling helped him make the bed, tidy up his things, and put the basket on his back, "You study hard, I'm leaving."

"Yes." Su Zimu followed her to see her off.

"Don't send it off, go back and read. If you don't understand, just ask Master. Don't pretend to understand if you don't understand." After finishing speaking, Su Ziling added, "Don't put too much pressure on me. Learn as much as you can. If you can, then do it." Study more, you won’t learn..."

She was silent and said: "There's nothing you can do about it. It means God won't reward you with food, but you have to learn the characters well and recognize them a few times, so that you won't be deceived when you go out in the future."

She touched his head and said, "If you don't have enough food in the school, just buy more. If the money is not enough, we can just make up for it. If you don't have enough fungus sauce, just tell the fourth uncle and the others. I will have someone give it to them then." You send it over."

Su Ziling's rebellious words were heard over and over again by the students who had just entered.

This is the first time they have heard such ridiculous words, what does it mean to learn if you can learn, and pull down if you can't learn, eat more, and if the money is not enough, we can just pay.

It feels like they are not here to study, but to learn how to read and eat.
