Chapter 584: The Fungus Grows Crazy
It was really stressful for her to have to pick and weigh the mushrooms. She muttered, "I'll cover the mushroom workshop when I get home tomorrow. I originally thought that mushrooms would only grow in May, but I didn't expect that they started growing a month earlier, in early April. They've been growing like crazy these past two days."
"We only spent a short time up the mountain (48 minutes) and we picked up so many old things. Can you imagine?"
Twenty shook his head honestly.
Su Ziling continued, "I'm afraid we'll have to harvest hundreds or even thousands of kilograms every day. It won't work if we stay at home."
"The aunties who picked, washed and cut mushrooms last year should also be invited early."
"Okay, I've got it. I'll remind you when the time comes." Even though there were more people around, he didn't act recklessly and wrote it down meticulously.
Su Ziling rolled his eyes at him, "I can remember that, I'm just too bored. If I were to talk, you wouldn't know that picking these mushrooms makes me dizzy."
Su Ziling said inside that Mr. Zheng was outside giving money to the chicken mushrooms. As everyone left one after another, the Zheng family also became quiet.
Su Ziling stood up and stretched. His bones felt sore from squatting all the time.
"Old man, are you done with your work? It's time to eat. This meal has been ready for a long time." Aunt Zheng urged, standing at the door.
"Okay, okay, get a basin of water for Miss Su and the others to wash their hands. Remember to add some hot water." Old Master Zheng smiled.
Aren't they smiling? Two people from their family went up the mountain today and picked up a total of 37 kilograms, which is 296 coins.
Adding the four pounds of chicken mushrooms in the morning, that’s three hundred and fifty-six coins. In such a short period of time, he earned so much. Looking at Su Ziling now, he is no longer Miss Su, but the God of Wealth.
"Miss Su, wash your hands here. We are going to eat. It will be simple food. Please don't be disgusted."
"You are joking, old man. You forgot that my home is also in the mountains."
It can be seen that the Zheng family really took out the best things in their home. The staple food is a large basket of vegetable steamed corn bread. At this season, there are so many wild vegetables in the mountains that they cannot be eaten up. People usually mix the wild vegetables with the steamed corn bread, which is delicious and filling.
The corn they use is ground by stone, and it’s not as fine as the one ground by water mill at home. It’s a bit coarse, so it makes your throat hurt when you eat it.
Just like Niuzi said, a big pot of red bean stewed with pig's feet. The pig's feet are roasted, so they are softer and more glutinous after stewing.
The red beans are cooked for a long time and have become sandy. They are best eaten with rice.
She also steamed a bowl of egg custard with a lot of chicken mushrooms in it, cooked a bowl of wild vegetable soup, and stir-fried a bowl of bamboo shoots. Their bamboo shoots were different from the dragon bamboo shoots dug by Su Ziling.
Their bitter bamboo shoots are as thick as a thumb, and are perfect for cold dishes, pork soup, fried bacon, etc.
However, the taste of this stir-fried dish was surprisingly good, and Su Ziling couldn't help but take a few more bites.
Aunt Zheng looked very pleased with Su Ziling at this moment. She even told Liu about it while cooking just now. It was a pity that her eldest grandson was still young, otherwise she would definitely try to match them up.
After dinner, Su Ziling slept in the same room with Nuozi. Nuozi was very well behaved and after dinner she took the initiative to get water for everyone to wash their feet.
It can be seen that her mother taught her very well.
After washing up, she went to bed obediently and lay on it. The room was dark and the girl kept talking to her in a low voice.
After a while, the voice stopped abruptly. Su Ziling listened carefully and only heard the sound of even breathing.
She shook her head and laughed. She fell asleep too quickly, probably because of the change of place. Although she was very tired, she had no sleepiness until dawn, when she fell into a drowsy sleep.
The rain stopped in the middle of the night, but the sky was still full of dark clouds and it looked like it would rain at any time.
When Su Ziling woke up, it was because Niuzi got up to pee. She was not sleeping soundly, and the rustling sound was enough to wake her up.
"Girl, are you up?"
"I'm going to the toilet. It's still early. You should sleep a little longer, sister." Niuzi got out of bed and put on her shoes. She didn't even wait for Su Ziling to reply and rushed out in a hurry.
Looking at the slightly brighter sky outside, Su Ziling got up since he couldn't sleep anyway.
She pushed open the door and the cold wind blew in from outside. She shivered and was stunned. She didn't expect it to be so much colder here than in their village.
She stood at the door and heard some whispering voices from the other side. Just as she was about to step forward, she saw two people coming out.
It was Aunt Zheng and Mrs. Liu, each carrying a backpack. Obviously, they didn't expect Su Ziling to get up so early.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and it was Aunt Zheng who spoke first, "Xiaoqing, are you awake? It's a little cold. You should go back to sleep for a while. Your aunt and I will go for a walk in the mountains and come back to cook in a while."
Su Ziling waved her hand, "Auntie, you guys go and do your work. Don't worry about me. I have to hurry home when the sun comes up. I couldn't keep the mushrooms yesterday. I'm afraid they will go bad if I go back to deal with them. Besides, I have to set up a stall at home, so I really can't leave."
Aunt Zheng wanted to say something when she suddenly heard someone passing by the door. She didn't care about anything else, so she said a few simple words and left with Liu.
Su Ziling simply washed his face, then sat at the door of the room with Twenty, waiting for the day to gradually brighten and for Mr. Zheng and the others to get up.
Mr. Zheng kept trying to keep them for breakfast, but Su Ziling kept saying that she was afraid the mushrooms would go bad. When Mr. Zheng heard that, he decided not to keep her.
That thing is very expensive, fifteen cents a pound. If a pound of it goes bad, I would be heartbroken.
After he finished washing up, he went to call the two people who delivered the mushrooms yesterday. Together with the twenty, there were four pairs of flower baskets for four people, which was just right.
It had just rained and the road was extremely slippery. Plus, as they were carrying mushrooms, no one dared to walk too fast for fear of falling, a fall they could not afford.
How much would so many mushrooms cost?
The few of them staggered with every step, and it took them nearly two hours to walk a distance that should have taken an hour.
Fortunately, they got up early, and when they arrived at Old Su's house, they were having dinner.
Hearing the knock on the door, Grandma Su was still wondering, "Who could it be, so early in the morning?"
"I guess it's Xiaoqing who's back. I'll go open the door."
Su Zizhong put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked towards the door in three or two steps.
"Xiao Qing?"
"Brother, it's me. Have you eaten yet? I'm starving."
"It's just been put on the table. I didn't know you came back so early, otherwise I would have waited for you. Who are these people?" Su Zizhong took her backpack.
"Uncle Zheng, help me bring back the mushrooms."
"Sorry to trouble you, Lord Zheng. Please come in." Su Zizhong opened the door and stepped aside.
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. I feel really bad for not inviting Miss Su to have a meal so early in the morning." Mr. Zheng really felt bad, but he also knew that the Umbrella Mushroom was more important.
