As soon as she finished speaking, Father Su couldn't wait to speak up, "It can be sold, it will definitely be sold. Such a delicious roasted rabbit will definitely sell well."

Su Ziling didn't dare to guarantee it. Each rabbit cost one hundred coins, plus seasonings and other ingredients, the price would definitely be a bit expensive.

"Oh, Grandpa, I plan to go to Xiaoping Mountain tomorrow. It's already full, and the leaves of the fox odor firewood are probably going to bloom soon. We also need to prepare our magical tofu and serve it on the table."

"There is also tea, which is expected to be harvested again. The fern has grown well these two days, and I am thinking of getting some more, pickling it and selling it in restaurants."

Su's mother added, "The seedlings will soon be ready for planting, around the end of April or the beginning of May."

Mr. Su sighed, "It's okay, just do it one by one."

"Well, let's not dig this road. Your father and I will go pick the tea leaves, and your mother will continue to weed. Didn't you say you wanted to sell roasted rabbits? Go with your eldest brother tomorrow and teach him how to make them. As for the leaves of the smelt of fox odor, you can take a look at them if you finish work early. If you finish work late, you can go and see them the day after tomorrow."

"As for the bracken... just pick as much as you can. The ones you picked today can be pickled a lot."

Su Ziling nodded, "That's fine, but the jar is gone, so let Old Wang make a few more, bigger ones."

"Gone again?" Father Su's mouth was full of oil. "I remember I just brought back quite a few."

"Look, they're all here. The room is almost full." Su Ziling raised his chin and looked towards the jar of kimchi in the corner.

"Okay, then I'll get up early tomorrow and go tell you."

After dinner, Su's father and his friends continued to pick ferns, while Su Ziling was blanching the ferns.

All the large basins had been used up and there was no place to put the remaining ferns. "No place to put them? Wait!" After Su's father finished speaking, he took a torch and went out.

A moment later, he came back carrying a large wooden barrel, followed by Su Yongyuan.

"Uncle Yuan, you're here. Thank you for the trouble."

"It's okay. I wasn't asleep anyway." Su Yongyuan glanced around the kitchen and joked, "There are so many ferns. You're going to pluck all the ferns out of the mountain!"

"Hehe, to be honest, I really pulled it out bald," Father Su cleaned the bucket and placed it directly next to the stove.

While Su Ziling was picking up bracken, he said to Su Yongyuan, "I caught a lot. You can take some back to eat later. I guess you guys don't have time to catch any."

"Okay, I won't be polite then," Su Yongyuan agreed readily, "We have been really busy recently. We are in the workshop, your uncle and his family are digging roads, and your aunt and uncle are taking care of the work in the fields. We really don't have time to go up the mountain."

Su Yongyuan didn't stay long. After the bucket was delivered, he exchanged a few simple words and then left.

Before leaving, Su Ziling took a basket and filled it with blanched ferns, asking him to take some back to his fourth uncle's house, and reminded him to soak them in water after taking them back.

It was already the hour of Xu (19:00-21:00) when all the ferns were blanched, and everyone was very tired.

The next morning, Su Zizhong and his friends did not go out for exercise. Instead, they squatted outside the yard and cleaned up rabbits.

Originally, we were going to take two, but Grandpa Su said we should take four. If we really can’t sell them, we can take them back and eat them ourselves.

After dinner, everyone went their separate ways and went about their own business.

Lumen Mountain, Su Ziling basically hasn't been here since the Chinese New Year, and he almost forgot what this place looks like.

The valley was very wide, and because horse-drawn carriages often passed by, a path had been trampled out in the middle, leaving the ground bare.

There is a row of sheds on both sides. Yes, a row, not two or three.

As the amount of things sold gradually increased, Su Zizhong and his team added a few more sheds, and each shed was managed by a teenager or aunt.

The places without sheds are covered with grass, among which are some unknown wild flowers. When the wind blows, the small flowers sway slightly, and the dewdrops on the grass fall down.

There was no fire yet, the air was filled with the scent of grass and wild flowers, and the breeze brought a hint of coolness.

"How is it?" Seeing the surprise in her eyes first, and then gradually turning into joy, Su Zizhong's eyes also gathered a little smile, "Big change, right?"

"The changes are more than just big." Su Ziling gave him a thumbs up, "Brother is really amazing!"

Her generous praise made Su Zizhong feel shy.

He looked away and coughed lightly, "Well, I'll build a fire pit for you next to me. It takes time to roast the rabbit, so we can roast it first."

"Okay." Su Ziling nodded, and she went to the side to clear some weeds first. Su Zizhong and Ershi found some stones, made a fire pit for her, and then brought over the firewood that had been prepared on the side.

The fire was lit and the smoke rose into the sky, instantly adding a bit of worldly air to the cold mountains.

Ji Yunhe is in charge of the accounting here. He started working as soon as he arrived in the morning. He didn't even have time to say a word to Su Ziling. Now he is trotting over after he finished his work.

"Ah Qing, Ah Qing, why are you here? I haven't seen you for a long time."

Ji Yunhe squatted beside her, watching her roast the rabbit, pouting and complaining.

"We just added a roasted rabbit. I came over to try it out." Su Ziling replied while turning the rabbit.

"Besides, it's been a long time since we last met. Didn't we just see each other a few days ago when your mother came over to help plant corn?"

Ji Yunhe blinked, "Is... is it?"

"So you forgot that we just met. I guess you were just fooling me. You made me look like a heartless person."

"I, I didn't. I was just too busy and didn't think of it for a moment." She argued.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Seriously, can you handle this?"

"Don't worry, I can handle it. Even if we add a few more sheds, I can still handle it. Just leave the accounts in the valley to me. I will make sure you remember them clearly. Not a penny will be shortchanged."

The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was dressed simply with only a wooden hairpin on her head. Her apricot-colored clothes made her look even more bright and beautiful.

Su Ziling still remembers how when he first met her, she was dirty and skinny, but her eyes lit up when she saw a bowl of corn porridge.

Compared to now, he is like two different people.

Seeing Su Ziling staring at her in a daze, Ji Yunhe raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes. He tilted his head slightly and called softly, "Ah Qing?"

"Hmm?" Su Ziling came back to his senses. "As long as I can handle it, it's fine. But since you said you can add two more sheds, I will reluctantly meet your request."

"Ah?" Ji Yunhe opened his mouth slightly, a little confused, "Is it really increasing?"

"Yeah!" Su Ziling raised his chin slightly, with a smile on his face, "Didn't you say that we can add two more?"

Ji Yunhe pursed his lips.

"Okay, to be honest with you, it's hard to say how the roasted rabbit is doing now, but we must add more sheds. In the next two days, the divine tofu should be on the table."

"And mushrooms, this year will probably be more popular than ever."
