"Okay, we'll pick it up today. We'll pick it up later and deliver it to you in the evening!"

After confirming that she really wanted this fungus, everyone was so excited that they turned around and ran home. There were a lot of these fungi in the mountain!

They only eat red and gray mushrooms. Those who don’t know them usually crush them with their feet when they see them. Now that I think about it, my flesh hurts very much. How much does it cost?

Looking at the backs of several people, Old Man Li's mouth twitched, but when he thought of the ten cents that day, he was also moved.

He and his wife each picked up forty kilograms a day, which cost them twenty cents a day. The job of picking up mushrooms was easy. Thinking of the mushrooms all over the mountains and fields, he couldn't sit still.

She took the fungus from Su Ziling's hand and said, "Well, I'll take it back and put it at home so that everyone can recognize it. When the time comes, I'll pick it up and pick it out for you."

"Okay." Su Ziling nodded in agreement.

Now, it’s good. There are many mountains and people here. I guess they can pick up a lot this day. By then, they will all be made into fungus paste. Whether it is the county town or Chen San’s caravan, I’m afraid it will be... Just a little more.

She thought that she would have to make a trip to her uncle's house when she got back, and then she would ask about duck eggs and mushrooms. She estimated that she could collect a lot.

After watching Old Man Li and the others leave, Mr. Su tied the buckwheat noodles to the rack. After tying them, the two men picked up the rack, placed the rack on the saddle of the cow, and fixed it before putting a muzzle on the cow.

The ox was carrying two hundred kilograms. It had just given birth to a calf, so Mr. Su thought of giving it a little less weight.

The remaining 400 kilograms, Mr. Su, his father, son, grandfather and grandson, each weighed 100 kilograms each. Su Ziling was responsible for carrying the duck eggs and carrying the two ducks.

It was already noon (11:00-13:00) when we got home, and Su's mother and the others had already prepared the meal.

Su Ziling threw the two ducks into the pen to raise them, thinking of catching them later when they were ready to eat.

The corn in the field has been harvested. After dinner, Mr. Su and the others shelled corn at home, while Su's mother and Bai Wei went to pick peppers.

The peppers in the field are already partially red. Take advantage of the good weather and quickly pick them back and dry them in the sun. They will be ready to dry in three or four days.

Su Ziling put the duck eggs in the yard and asked Su A'nai and Axiu to wash them when they had time.

Most of the sun mats at home are used to dry mushrooms, and a few are used to dry melon seeds and peanuts. We don’t grow much at home, mainly because the yield is not high, and we plant only two parts of the land for peanuts.

The melon seeds were not planted separately, but on both sides of the corn field, so that they did not occupy any land and still produced a harvest.

While peeling corn husks, Su A'nai reminded Mr. Su, "Are you going to make two more drying mats? You will have to pay taxes in a few days. This grain must be dried out quickly, otherwise people who can't dry it will not harvest it." "

"I know." Mr. Su responded, "I'll chop down two bamboos and make some weaving later."

Su Ziling took out a backpack and changed into clean clothes. She thought that she would go to her uncle's house if she had time today to settle the matter about the fungi and duck eggs.

Otherwise, she would have to think about it every day. It was still early, so she would go early and come back early. She would come back to make noodles in the evening and go to the stall tomorrow.

Seeing her outfit, Su A'nai was stunned, "Qing'er, where are you going?"

"I'm going to my uncle's house to ask if there are any duck eggs or fungi. I'll take advantage of the last month or so to make more if there are any. When the fungi are really gone, we'll be here again. It will take a lot less income.”

Although they are also making sweet potato flour, most of their income comes from fungus paste.

Although the tea leaves have also made a lot of money, in a while, the tea leaves will be gone. Now the tofu business is gone, the tea leaves will be gone, and there is no fungus paste. Just a sweet potato starch does not cost much at the moment.

Sweet potato flour has just started and is not on the right track yet. If you want to make big money, it will probably take some time.

Hearing this, Su A'nai frowned and said, "Ask your elder brother to go with you and bring more food. It's just right. Didn't you buy a pig's head yesterday? Take half of the pig's head, two jars of fungus sauce and sweet potato starch." Bring some preserved eggs too, don’t you still have the preserved eggs you made? Bring the preserved eggs and green peppers and let them have a taste.”

The fat meat she brought yesterday was boiled in lard, and she used the remaining pork belly and lean meat to make mushroom sauce. If she brought half a pig head, it seemed a little less. Su A'nai added: "The fat sausage you marinated is also Take it with you, there seems to be nothing left at home, I seem to have some sugar there, just wait, I will give it to you, take it with you."

Su Ziling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Grandma, that's enough. My backpack can't even fit in it. It's almost done. If I take it any more, it will be empty."

Hearing this, Su A'nai looked at her backpack, and it was indeed obvious, so she gave up, "Then bring some money, bring some copper coins, you may not be able to find any silver."

Grandma Su gave her a handful of copper coins and told them, "Be careful on the road. If it's too late, just stay at your uncle's house for one night. You can come back tomorrow."

"I know Grandma, let's go then!"

Just as she walked to the door, Su Ziling suddenly remembered that she hadn't told Su A'nai that they might come to deliver fungi today.

"Grandma, I told the people in Sangshuping that we will collect the mushrooms. If someone delivers the mushrooms in the evening, you can ask the aunts who usually hand over the mushrooms to come over and help, and see if they have picked up any unwanted ones."

"What I told them is that it costs ten cents for forty pounds. You can help me give them some money when the time comes. There are less mushrooms in the mountains now. Those aunts told them not to go looking for them in the mountains and just sort the mushrooms at home. Then I’ll give them ten cents a day.”

These aunts were hired by Su Ziling to go into the mountains to collect mushrooms, mainly because their family alone was too busy.

Fortunately, these people are all good at work, and they are used to seeing fungi and can tell them apart at a glance.

After picking up the fungi for so long, it’s perfect for them to sort them. The speed is guaranteed to be fast and accurate.

"Hey, I got it. I'll ask Axiu to call someone when the time comes. You go quickly. Don't worry at home. There are so many of us."

Su Ziling nodded and set off with peace of mind after the explanation was clear.

She and Su Zizhong each carried a backpack with vermicelli in it. Thinking of hurrying up, they walked a little faster.
