Chapter 249: Collecting fungi
"One hundred and forty articles per jar. The two hundred jars here are a total of twenty-eight taels of silver. Take it." The waiter saw it and quickly gave the silver.
Su Ziling looked at the six silver ingots in her hand, two of ten taels, one of five taels, and three of one taels.
"No problem, that's all for now. If you need it next time, tell us two days in advance so we can be ready." Su Ziling put away the money and said to the waiter.
"Okay, don't worry." Su Yongan nodded to a few people, "Uncle, let's go first. We are waiting for the food to open in the restaurant."
"Go, go, be safe on the road!" Mr. Su waved his hand.
The bullock cart slowly left, and Grandma and the others dared to come forward, "Little girl, look at this duck egg..."
Seeing that several people around were holding duck eggs in their hands, Grandma was a little nervous. She was afraid that Su Ziling wouldn't be able to ask for so much.
"Grandma, how many did you bring?" Su Ziling knelt down, put the backpack on the ground, and began to count the duck eggs.
Each time they counted one, they put one in the basket. After counting, they poured the sawdust from their basket into it to stabilize the duck eggs.
"I went to collect a few more this morning. I just collected them all, fifty." Grandma stood aside and watched Su Ziling count the duck eggs.
"By the way, just fifty." Next to them were two old ducks. They were quite fat. They estimated that each one weighed eight or nine pounds.
Generally, ducks in the market cost twenty to forty cents each, regardless of their size. In the end, Su Ziling gave her one hundred and twenty cents.
"Girl, there's a lot more, I couldn't afford this much." Grandma counted the money, took only her own share, and returned forty coins to Su Ziling.
"Not much, fifty duck eggs cost forty cents, and each duck costs forty cents. Isn't that exactly one hundred and twenty cents." Su Ziling did not accept her money. These two ducks were indeed fat and worth the price.
Most of those 20 cents apiece are female ducks, which weigh about four to five jins. This duck must weigh eight or nine jins, and 40 cents is just right.
"If not so much, the ones we sell in the county are only twenty or thirty cents each. Most of the time, they are twenty cents each. This is too much for you." Grandma said and refused.
"Grandma, your duck is so big and worth the price. Just keep it. Next time you still have duck eggs, bring them here. I will collect them here every market day." Su Ziling said and looked aside. A few people said, "Same for you, just bring them here every market day and wait."
"Hey, okay, okay, okay, thank you, little girl!"
When several people heard this, they were all very happy. They were originally worried about not being able to sell it, but now they started to worry about raising too few ducks.
Looking at grandma who had not left yet, Su Ziling said with relief: "Grandma, the price for collecting ducks here is the same. Female ducks are all 20 cents, and male ducks are 40 cents. Don't think too much. We are busy at home. Just go home quickly.”
Seeing that she was too busy, grandma didn't insist. She walked back slowly with a cane and her waist.
After collecting all the duck eggs, unexpectedly, there were more than 150, filling a full basket. Old Man Li was still waiting nearby. When they finished their work, he came forward.
"Brother, Qing Yatou, let's go to the house and have dinner."
As he said this, he was about to grab Mr. Su's hand.
"No, no, we came out after eating in the morning. Next time, next time we will definitely come over to eat."
Mr. Su smiled and declined.
Old Man Li looked at Su Ziling and said, "Qing girl, let's go in and have dinner. Your aunt has done all this."
"Old man Li, we won't go in to eat. You're really not polite. We just came out after eating in the morning." Su Ziling took out the mushrooms prepared in the morning.
"Uncle Li, I want to ask you for a favor." She handed him the fungi, "Do you have these fungi here?"
Old Man Li didn't even need to take it to look at it, he recognized the fungi in Su Ziling's hand at a glance.
"This, this, this..." He raised his hand and pointed at the fungus in Su Ziling's hand, his hand shaking a little.
"These are all noisy bacteria and cannot be eaten."
Su Ziling: "..."
Looking at him like this, he probably has a lot of germs.
"Uncle Li, don't worry. We will specially treat these fungi. We will not eat them directly. The treated fungi can be eaten. Do you have these fungi here?"
The duck egg sellers were about to leave, but they came back after hearing her words.
The man pointed at the green hands and said, "Yes, I have seen them. There are tracts of them in this mountain." He looked at Su Ziling with a suspicious look on his face, "Why do you want this?"
Su Ziling's eyes lit up when she heard that there were, "What about these? Are there any of these?"
Su Ziling took out the red onions and black green porcini mushrooms and showed them to them.
"Yes, there are, but this one is a little less." He pointed at the shallots.
Su Ziling handed all the varieties to Old Man Li, "Old Man Li, it's like this. Our family is looking for these mushrooms. The price we give to people in the village is ten cents a day. Three baskets of mushrooms a day, which is almost forty. It weighs a pound, see if you are interested. If you are interested, you can pick it up and send it to our village."
"Our village is Baihua Cave. Just keep walking along this road and you can see it after climbing over these two hills."
"We know Baihuadong. We have sold sweet potatoes before."
"The house where you go to sell sweet potatoes is my house." Su Ziling smiled and nodded.
Most of the sweet potatoes were collected and paid by Su A Nai at home, so when those people went there, the ones they saw the most were Su A Nai and A Xiu.
"So that family is yours, so will we still harvest sweet potatoes this year? Every household of ours has planted some, much more than in previous years."
"Collect it! After you dig it up and clean it, you can send it over. You know the rules. You can send it as you gave it in the past."
Seeing that the topic had gone too far, Old Man Li coughed slightly, and those people came back to their senses.
"Do you want all these fungi?" Looking at the fungi in their hands, several people still couldn't believe it and confirmed again.
"Yes, you need all the varieties I got for you, but you don't need anything else. Remember, don't pick the wrong ones."
"That's impossible!" The man waved his hand, "You can distinguish these fungi with your eyes closed, but I don't know if they can be eaten. But, are they really ten cents a day?"
"Yes! Ten coins a day."
Several people were shocked!
My dear, it only costs fifteen cents a day to work hard at the dock, but here, she only earns ten cents a day to pick up fungi!
"It's ten cents a day to pick up these troublesome fungi?"
These people took the trouble to ask again. Su Ziling nodded and answered seriously over and over again, "Yes, but it can't be less than forty pounds a day."
"You can get ten cents from picking up forty pounds a day?"
"Yes, you can get ten cents if you pick up forty kilograms in one day, and you will be paid on the same day! Of course, we also have requirements. You can't just make up for it. Don't pick up fungi you don't recognize. Don't pick up any mushrooms that are too big. If you open an umbrella too big, don't pick it up. We don’t want any, not even those the size of a thumb. Once discovered, we will never want any more fungi in your village.”
After Su Ziling finished speaking, several people took a breath of cold air.
This is too cruel!
This is equivalent to if one person makes a mistake, the whole village will be punished together.
It's no wonder that Su Ziling made such a rule. It was mainly to prevent dishonest people. You can't ruin a pot of soup just because of a mouse dropping.
Besides, she is not a philanthropist, and there is no rule without rules. Naturally, if she sets the rules early, they will not dare to break them. Even if they want to break them, they will consider whether they can afford to offend the whole village.
