Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

Hearing what she said, Twenty stretched his neck and glanced behind her. With just one glance, his eyes widened, full of surprise.

"Eh? Is this Tremella fungus?"

"Yes, I was lucky enough to pick up a few." Su Ziling carefully turned the basket around to show them.

Twenty wanted to touch it but didn't dare, "This thing is very valuable in Shangjing City. The ones with poor quality only come in a small box of twenty taels. You picked it completely and in time. If it is dried well and stored properly, it is estimated that it will last for a long time." The small box will not be less than thirty taels."

"So many?" Su Ziling's eyes widened. She thought that twenty taels was already outrageous, but she didn't expect that there were even more outrageous ones, but...

She tilted her head, with confusion in her eyes, "How do you know how much silver it sells for in Shangjing City?"

Twenty's face froze, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he said bravely: "Our escort team has been to Shangjing City, and naturally we have heard about the prices there, and the escort team Mr. Lu is looking for this time is also from our escort agency. .”

"The escort team that Lu Yan is looking for is from your escort agency?" Su Ziling really didn't know this. She didn't go to deliver vermicelli in the morning, and when she returned at noon, Su's father and the others were not at home, so naturally no one mentioned it.

"Yes, hehe, I recommended myself." Twenty smiled and reached out to catch the backpack, "Girl, let me do it. I have martial arts skills, and my lower body is stable and I won't fall. I will be careful."

"No need." Su Ziling refused again, "Let's talk while walking."

Twenty followed them, and Su Ziling said again: "I'll carry this basket. It's not that I don't worry about you, but I've hidden a sack of Yunnan olives on the roadside, and I'll have to trouble you to carry it soon."

"Okay, leave it to me." Twenty nodded.

Su Zizhong was already frightened. When he saw the white fungus, he just thought it looked pretty, so he didn't show much surprise.

But when he heard the saying "twenty taels" for a small box, his eyes widened. He thought to himself, "Twenty cents for a box, right?"

How much is that box? How can it be twenty taels of silver?

But later I heard him say that Su Ziling's good quality could be sold for almost thirty yuan for a small box.

Others were as numb as a wooden person, following them numbly.

"Big brother!"

Su Ziling suddenly pulled him, and Su Zizhong raised his head to look at her in a daze. He still hadn't come back to his senses, and his eyes were still a little confused.

"What's wrong?"

Su Ziling raised her chin, signaling him to look forward.

Su Zizhong turned his head and looked at the tree in front of him, "..."

"What are you thinking? If I didn't pull you, this sack of mushrooms would have turned into mushroom sauce."

Su Zizhong lowered his head and looked at the mushrooms in his hand, and then at the basket on her back. His eyes were hesitant to speak, and he pursed his lips a few times but did not speak.

"Brother, what do you want to ask?" Seeing his appearance, Su Ziling was also curious as to what was the reason that made him so distracted that he almost hit a tree.

"Um," he forgot the name of the fungus, and just pointed to her backpack, "how much does that fungus cost per pound?"

Su Ziling was stunned for a moment, "Are you talking about Tremella fungus?"

Su Zizhong nodded.

A small box is calculated as twenty taels of silver, and one pound is equivalent to five boxes, that is, "almost one hundred taels."

"How...how many?" Su Zizhong was so frightened that he began to stutter, his eyes widened and his pupils shrank sharply.

Su Ziling repeated again: "One hundred taels!"

Twenty added on the side: "The good quality is estimated to cost about 150 taels, but everyone buys it by the box, and it's a pound of it when sold. I guess it belongs to those wealthy and aristocratic families."

"Twenty-two boxes per box?" He raised his hand and roughly gestured how many boxes there were.

Su Ziling nodded, "That's right. I asked about the price that day, and the quality of the white fungus wasn't as good as the one I picked. They really wanted twenty taels per box."

"Twenty taels? My dear, twenty cents is about the same." He muttered in a low voice.

Su Ziling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This fungus is not something we can afford. It is for the rich and dignitaries, mainly the women in the back house. It can beautify and nourish the face. It is rich in nutrients and can clear away heat." In terms of its functions of strengthening the stomach and protecting the liver, in terms of simply nourishing and nourishing the lungs, even bird's nest is far inferior to Tremella fuciformis."

After hearing her explanation, Su Zizhong could understand why it was so expensive, but he understood, but he was still curious. "Is it really so magical? The effect is like medicine."

Su Ziling: "Tremella fuciformis is indeed a medicinal material, and it is also a food ingredient."

"Oh." Su Zizhong was holding the sack, carefully avoiding the thorns and branches, and trying not to touch the mushrooms. He was walking in front at a very fast speed, muttering to himself.

"A box is twenty taels, and a catty is one hundred taels. If you pick up a few baskets and dry them for ten or eight catties, wouldn't you have eight to nine hundred and one thousand taels of silver?"

Su Ziling: "..."

Even Twenty couldn't help laughing. After this period of time, they had become very familiar with each other, and Twenty spoke much more casually.

"Brother Zizhong, what are you thinking? This white fungus is very rare, otherwise the price wouldn't be so high. It's not easy for the girl to pick up so many today."

When Su Zizhong heard this, he turned to look at Su Ziling, the smile on his face had not dissipated, "So few?"

Su Ziling nodded, "Well, I was lucky to encounter these today. The growth conditions of Tremella fuciformis are relatively harsh, so they are relatively rare."

The smile on Su Zizhong's face disappeared immediately. He was still thinking that since the white fungus was so expensive, they would go into the mountains more often and pick up more fungi to sell for money, so that Mr. Su and the others would have less hard work.

"We're here." Su Ziling stopped on the side of the road, pointed behind the bush and said, "The thing is down there. It's a bit heavy. Be careful."

"Hey, I got it." Twenty responded and jumped down.

There is a ridge below, and the bushes grow here. She hid the sack under it without anyone noticing.

Su Zizhong looked curious, "What is this?"

His mind had just been filled with the twenty-two boxes of Tremella fuciformis, and he didn't even hear what Su Ziling said he was hiding.

“Yunnan olives.”

Su Zizhong frowned when he heard it was an olive, "Why did you pick this thing? It's sour and astringent."

"Eat it. It won't be so sour after you go back and soak it. It's also very delicious. I'll mix one for you to try when I get back soon. I also plan to sell it in restaurants."

The sun had completely set, and the three people quickened their pace. Hearing that she wanted to buy it, Su Zizhong's already numb face became even more numb, "Are you sure someone will eat this stuff?"
