Chapter 533 Picking White Flowers

Chapter 533 Picking White Flowers

Hearing that she was going to collect so many kinds of fungi, Uncle Zheng was so happy that he couldn't help but ignore what she said about seeing blue hands.

"Hey! OK, OK, then we will pick them up and deliver them to you. You want so many mushrooms, is it because the mountains over there don't produce mushrooms?"

Su Ziling easily folded a piece of red deer grass and swung it in a circle, "Yes. Our family has a small workshop. We collect some mushrooms to make paste, and then sell them elsewhere. The nearby villages pick them up. Basically, they are sent to my home, and I collected a lot last year. ”

"But I didn't know there was a village here at that time, so I didn't come here. Uncle Zheng, if there are fungi in the nearby villages, you can let them pick them up and bring them over. Pick the ones you know first."

"Hey! I was just about to ask you this. A few miles further, the old woman's natal family is over there. There are quite a lot of fungi there. I just wanted to ask you if you would collect them."

The old man was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear, "Just keep it, just keep it. When the fungi come out, I will go and talk to them. It's not easy for everyone these days. If you can earn a little, it's a good thing."

"By the way," the old man changed his voice, then looked left and right, took two steps towards Su Ziling, lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the fighting at the border has started again, and the fighting is very fierce. I guess it won't be possible." How long will it take to recruit again?”

Su Ziling frowned, "Conscription? Uncle Zheng, is this news accurate?"

The old man shook his head, "I also heard from people that the fighting was quite severe this time. I heard that it didn't rain in the second half of last year and there was no grain harvest. Now they are coming to rob it again. They robbed a remote small village." Village.”

"I heard it from hearsay, so I don't know the details, but it's always a good idea to store more food."

Su Ziling's frown never relaxed, and neither of them spoke for the rest of the way, and everyone walked quietly.

Although Twenty was a little far away from Su Ziling, with his hearing ability, he naturally heard everything the two said. However, due to the large number of people, he couldn't say much.

When they arrived at the mountain col, Su Zizhong and the others had not yet confiscated the stall. It happened that there was a caravan eating in the mountain col at this time.

Seeing the sudden appearance of Su Ziling and the others, those people all had defensive expressions on their faces. They placed their bowls on the table and held the knife at their sides tightly with one hand.

Seeing this, Su Zizhong hurriedly said, "Everyone, everyone, don't be nervous, this is my sister."

After hearing his words, everyone looked more relaxed, but they still looked defensive.

Su Ziling came over and said, "Brother, how are the sales going? Can you close the stall?"

Su Zizhong turned to look at the steamed buns, "There are still some steamed buns left. If we want to call it a day, how about you?"

He stretched his neck and glanced at the bullock cart behind him, "It looks like the harvest is good."

Su Ziling nodded, "Ang, I just collected some beans and some duck eggs today. I also asked about some sweet potatoes, but they have to be delivered tomorrow."

Seeing that the two of them really knew each other, those people continued to eat. They were very fast, finished the meal in a few bites, paid and took some steamed buns and left.

Looking at the few remaining steamed buns, Su Ziling asked them to close the stall, there were only four or five, and they could just go home and eat them themselves.

Because the bullock cart couldn't get in, Uncle Zheng arranged for one person to watch the cows here, while the others followed Su Ziling and the others into the village with poles and beans.

Along the way, we met many people working, and everyone greeted Su Ziling enthusiastically. They were all surprised to see so many people following her.

"Xiaoqing, is this? Is this a distant relative of yours?"

"No, I went to the village outside to buy some beans, duck eggs and the like, and asked them to help bring them in." Su Ziling said.

This is the first time so many outsiders have entered Baihua Cave. Their village is relatively secluded, and few people can find a way in without anyone to guide them.

No, it was the first time to see so many strangers, and everyone was quite surprised.

"Oh, oh, oh, that's it. Do you want this? If so, I'll go back to my parents' house and ask. I guess they also have some."

"If you want it, aunt can go back and ask. Red beans, mung beans, and peas can be sent over. If you have eggs, duck eggs can also be sent over. You know, my grandma is at home every day, so I can send them over at any time."

"Hey! I'll be relieved if I get your word. I'll go back and talk to my mother and the others another day. If you're still carrying things, go back quickly. I won't delay you. Come and sit at home when you have time!"

There were all kinds of pleasantries along the way. Su Ziling was very tired after this section of the journey, and Uncle Zheng and the others next to him were also stunned.

They really didn't expect that Su Ziling was so popular, but after seeing the old Su's yard and workshop, they were no longer surprised.

In this house, the house is made of blue bricks and tiles, the yard is also very large, and the walls are high. It can be seen that the workshop next to it is newly built, and there are various noises in it.

The sound of shouting, the sound of water, everyone's laughter, etc., was very lively.

They believed that Su Ziling had that kind of strength, and part of the reason why they followed her was to see if he was reliable.

As soon as the door opened, Su Ziling shouted at the top of her lungs, "Grandma! We're back!"

Grandma Su was sitting in the yard picking bean seeds. When she heard her voice, she didn't even raise her head.

"You're back? Are you tired?"

"It's alright. You pick out the bean seeds. My grandpa and the others haven't come back yet?"

"No, how was the harvest..." Su A'nai looked up and saw the people who came in behind Su Ziling.

She put the tray down and quickly stood up to say hello, "Come, come, come, come inside and sit down."

As Su A'nai said, she looked at Su Ziling, "Why didn't you remind me that we have a guest? Hurry up and bring out the tea."

Uncle Zheng and the others put down their things and said, "We won't go into the house. It's very hot. Let's cool down in the yard for a while."

Su Zizhong and the others also put down their things, went into the house and moved a few stools out.

The brother and sister were busy in and out, but in the blink of an eye, the stools, tea, and cups were all arranged, and a plate of melon seeds was also placed.

Uncle Zheng and the others took a sip of tea and looked around the yard with their peripheral vision, lingering for a while near the cow pen and the pig pen.

They didn't sit there longer and had to rush back. Afraid of running out of time, they got up and left after drinking two cups of tea.

Before leaving, he stood outside the workshop again, looked at it twice, and then left.

Su Ziling sent them to the entrance of the village. Uncle Zheng made an appointment with her to deliver sweet potatoes tomorrow, and then left quickly.

It wasn't until they left Baihua Cave that the group of people started talking.

"Uncle Zheng, Uncle Zheng, have you seen their big brick house with tiles? They also raise pigs and cows. The workshop is so loud, and there must be a lot of people there. I'm a good boy, and my family is so rich. Where’s the thick one?”

"What do you think? You don't have enough money to go from house to house or village to collect things?"

"Originally, seeing that she was young, I was wondering if I was afraid of scammers, but I didn't expect that this girl is really capable."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? If she couldn't do it, would those people talk to her like that?"

"So it seems that what she said about collecting fungi is also true?"

"Uncle Zheng, what do you think?"

Mr. Zheng touched his beard and said, "What do you think? It's still early for the fungus to grow. Just take a step and take a look."

"Let's go quickly. We have to wash the sweet potatoes when we get back. By the way, you all should be honest. Go back and tell them to wash them honestly. Don't put the bad ones in for me to make up for the bad ones."

"Otherwise, she won't accept anyone from the whole village, but don't let one rat droppings spoil the pot of soup."

On the way back, Su Ziling told Uncle Zheng that the sweet potatoes should be washed and dried before being sent over.

It's not easy for everyone. They have a long way to go, so she is willing to add some money. Then everyone will have to control the quality. If someone finds that someone is cheating, then she will not want anything from their village.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zheng, we are not stupid, who would ruin their own jobs!"

"It's not necessarily true. There will always be a couple of rat poops. When the time comes, everyone has to keep an eye on them. Don't really smash the bowl and it will be bad."

This trip was worth it.

At least everyone feels relieved and can pay attention to what Su Ziling said in the future.

The days were busy, Su Ziling rushed to various villages to collect sweet potatoes and beans.

Even the county's vermicelli, eggs and vegetables were delivered to a few uncles in the village.

Mr. Su and the others were still clearing land, while Mother Su went to clean up the land by the river. The radishes in the land had been pulled out, and only some pepper trees were left.

Mother Su picked the red ones and dried them in the sun. After picking the green ones, Su Zi made two jars of chili sauce.

The larger jar was taken to the restaurant and sold, while the smaller jar was kept for his own consumption.

After the ground was cleaned up, Su Ziling took a day and took Su's mother and the others to lay the ground.

I think I can plant the potatoes in February.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the twentieth day of the first lunar month. While eating, I mentioned to my mother, "It seems that your cousin's wedding is only a few days away."

Su Ziling was stunned for a moment, apparently having forgotten about this matter, "How long did it take?"

"The fourth day of February." Mother Su replied, "There's still half a month left, so everything needs to be prepared in advance."

As she said this, she looked at Su A'nai, "Mom, how much is an appropriate gift for me?"

Grandma Su was silent for a long time, "Buy a few feet of cloth, and then bring some meat. Five taels of silver is enough."

"How about that," Su Ziling said, and everyone looked at her.

"How about sending half of the pigs away? Our three pigs can be put to the slaughter. Then we can sell them out. How about sending half of the pigs over?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Mr. Su, waiting for him to speak.

"It depends on what I'm doing, just give it to me." Mr. Su took a sip of the soup and continued: "We are having a difficult time ahead. Your grandma's family has helped us a lot. They have borrowed so much money that I can hardly survive. He went down and didn’t even ask us for it. It’s just half a pig, so give it away.”

"Since pork is going to be delivered, it has to be delivered one day in advance. Don't let people run out to buy it by themselves. Look, if you give some vermicelli, it will save them the need to buy vegetables."
