"How can that be done?" The eldest aunt gave up after hearing this. If she didn't sell it this morning, how much money would she lose.

"In this case, I won't go back tonight. I will help you for two more days and let your uncle and the others go back. I will go back with them after they come to deliver the snails in two days."

She was naturally happy to stay and help Su Ziling, "Will it delay your home work?"

The eldest aunt waved her hand, "Hey! What kind of work can we do at home? The more important things are picking up snails, making konjac tofu and roasting fish. Your grandpa and the others are the ones who dug up the sweet potatoes and planted some wheat and radishes. , nothing more.”

Su Ziling: "Grow all wheat?"

"You don't have to plant everything. You have to plant some broad beans and peas to eat yourself. Wheat is planted to pay taxes. The yield of peas is high. Plant two acres and you can eat it yourself." My aunt said as she ate.

"If you have more land, you can plant more peas. I'll collect the peas here and dry them." Su Ziling plans to sell pea milk and pea jelly. These are also delicious. They can be both sweet and salty. They can be used as snacks or as cold dishes. All dishes are fine.

"You want it? That's okay. Let's plant some peas this year. We have plenty of water there, so the pea yield is much better than in your village."

"Do you want it now? We seem to have more than a hundred kilograms at home, leaving fifty kilograms for seeding, and I can send some to you."

Generally, they soak peas in water overnight, and then steam them with rice, or put a wax bone in the pot and cook them together.

The peas cooked in this way will be sticky and sticky after the soup is reduced. It is most delicious when mixed with rice, or it is also delicious when mixed with noodles.

"Yes, I will calculate the money for you when the time comes. If someone wants to sell it, you can help me keep an eye on it." Su Ziling gestured with three fingers, "Three cents a pound."

"San Wen!!" My aunt's eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on you."

After several people had eaten and drank enough, their two uncles and second aunt were ready to go home. Su Ziling asked them to carry the braised pig feet back, and also brought them a few kilograms of vermicelli.

After they left, Su Ziling and Qingjiu carried a backpack and set off, leaving their eldest aunt to come and meet them.

Su Ziling prepared the required water and baking powder, then scooped out the noodles for her and mixed them well.

The flour she used was not pure white flour. If pure white flour was sold for one penny per steamed bun, she would be at a loss.

So she mixes corn flour, white flour, buckwheat flour and then black flour together. Although the steamed buns are not very white, they will taste very fragrant. In addition, she has baking powder, and the steamed buns she makes are delicious. All are big and soft.

The two of them ate and then went on the road. There were no oxcarts outside the city gate. They walked back home. When they got home, it was already dark, but the yard was still a lively scene.

Several large torches were lit in the yard and a fire pit was burned. Mr. Su and the others were washing sweet potatoes by the well. They were stunned when they heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who is it?"

It's getting dark, and almost every household has taken a break. People who visit at this time are unless there is something urgent.

"Grandma, it's me, Xiaoqing."

"Yeah! It's Xiaoqing, Axiu, go open the door quickly, your eldest sister is back." When she heard it was Su Ziling, Su A'nai's eyes lit up and she urged Axiu beside her to open the door.

"You girl, why are you back? But that ice powder is not easy to sell?"

Su A'nai hurried over and touched her hand, "It's so cold, you didn't know how to put on some clothes when you came back. It's mid-September now, and the temperature in the mountains is relatively low at night. You haven't eaten yet when you come back at this time." ? I'm going to make you a bowl of fried rice, and there just happens to be some leftovers from today."

Su Ziling quickly took her hand and said, "Grandma, we are not hungry. We only came back after eating."

Seeing her coming back, everyone stopped what they were doing and hurriedly gathered around.

Hearing that she wasn't hungry, Su A'nai pulled her to the firepit, "If you're not hungry, let's warm ourselves by the fire. But why are you and Xiaojiu back? Where are Shiba and Sanlang?"

Seeing everyone looking at her, Su Ziling smiled and said, "I'll come back to get the vermicelli and vegetables. Our business is very good today. Originally, I thought the vermicelli could be sold for five or six days. I guess it will be enough if I sell it for another day tomorrow." If it's gone, it closes early today, so I thought I'd come back and get some. There are Saburo and Shiba guarding the store, as well as my aunt."

Su Ziling told her about how her uncles and aunts came to help, and what she was going to get when she came back.

Everyone was relieved to hear that business was good and no one was looking for trouble. Sweet potatoes were roasting by the fire pit. Mr. Su turned over the ashes and dug out two relatively well-proportioned and ripe sweet potatoes for them.

"Eat this. These are new sweet potatoes this year, but they haven't been frosted, so they don't taste very sweet yet. They will take a few days to become sweet."

"As for peas, there should be some in the village. Your father and I will go ask about them later, and then I'll send you to the county tomorrow morning. There are also red beans, so I'll ask about them as well."

"Now that we know what the situation is, we feel relieved. From now on, we will deliver things to you once every three days, which will save you from running back and forth. It's not safe in the darkest of winter."

As he said, he went to ask. Mr. Su took Su's father and Su Zizhong to ask Wandou and Hongdou, while Su Ziling started to pack things.

She brought all the folded ear roots, dried fungus, and dried mushrooms at home, as well as sour papaya slices, and she simply brought all the remaining fruits.

Especially eggs, it was much more cost-effective to buy them in the village than in the county, so she just bought them, mainly because they could save a penny.
