Several people stood beside the drying rack and took two peppers to look at them. "What on earth are these peppers? Why are every household in Baihua Cave growing them?"

"I've never seen it before, but the one used to stir-fry the meat just now seems to be this. You know what, it's quite delicious. If you eat a few bites in the cold winter, your whole body will probably be warmed up."

"Yes, yes, yes. Oh my God, this is the first time I've eaten at a banquet like this. The table is full of meat. I don't know where to put the chopsticks. There aren't even many vegetarian dishes."

"Especially the braised pork, which is fatty but not greasy, and very tender. The soup is delicious even when mixed with rice."

"Yes, there is also duck. I don't know how the duck is stewed, but it doesn't have any fishy smell and is very tender. The bones fall off easily. The soup is also sour and a little spicy, which is very appetizing. It was such a hot day, and I thought I would not want to eat after carrying so much dowry and walking such a long way. Unexpectedly, my appetite was stimulated after drinking the soup."

"The other dishes are also delicious, especially the fish, shrimp and snails. I didn't expect that the snails would be so delicious. How do you think they cook it? Why is the fish we cook so fishy that it's hard to eat, but theirs is so delicious?"

"How would I know? But you can go ask them where they hired the chef."

"Cook? It seems that they didn't hire a cook. I just heard someone say that it seemed that the daughter of their second son did it."

"What? Who are you talking about?"

"She is Zizhong's sister, the eldest granddaughter of the Su family, the little girl who went with him to the village to sell soybean flour."

"Oh my god, this little girl is so skilled?"

Everyone was shocked. "By the way, did you notice that even the way they grow corn is different from ours?"

"I see. Judging from the growth of the seedlings, their yield per acre is estimated to be about 10% higher than ours."

"I feel it's more than that, maybe even an increase of 20. Moreover, there are beans planted in the middle of the corn field, and it looks like they can be harvested. There are quite a lot of them. This means two kinds of crops in one field. I don't know who came up with this idea, it's really amazing."

"You're wrong. This is a field with three kinds of seeds. Did you forget the sunflower seeds planted at the edge of the field?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Let's find some time to ask them some other time. They are busy now and probably don't have time to explain in detail. Let's go to the side and take a look."

A few people pointed at the workshop in front and walked over, "Doesn't this look like a home?"

"I heard they have a workshop at home, could this be it?"

"Oh my god! It seems possible. How about going and taking a look?"

Someone happened to come out to pour water and saw them. "Are you from another village? Outsiders are not allowed to enter this workshop."

"Hey, big sister, we're not going in. Can I ask what you guys are doing?"

Although the Su family was hosting a banquet today and Su Ziling asked everyone to take a break before eating, no one took a break. Everyone chose to continue working. When it was time for dinner, they went to eat and then came back to continue working after eating.

This sweet potato workshop can be shut down, but the mushrooms cannot. People deliver mushrooms every day. If today's mushrooms are not processed, they will not be fresh tomorrow, and some will even go bad.

This pound of food costs several cents. It would be a pity if it went bad.

"Peeling mushrooms, are you here to send off the bride?" Nowadays, there are very few people who don't know that their village collects mushrooms. Looking at the looks of these people, it is obvious that they are here to send off the bride.

"Yes, we are from Wangjia Village. We have never been here. We usually go to the town through that side. We have never been here, so I am not sure."

They only heard that their family had a workshop, but they had no idea what it was used for.

"Oh, this is for peeling mushrooms. You can just look outside and don't go in." The woman nodded and said.

"Hey, hey, we all understand, let's take a look."

A few people didn't really go in, but just stood by and watched how they washed the mushrooms.

Seeing that these mushrooms looked familiar, several people looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally asked, "Sister, do you want all these mushrooms?"

The woman looked puzzled and said, "Of course you want it. If you don't want it, no one else will send it to you."

Hearing this, several people couldn't hold back their smiles and asked, "Big sister, if we pick it up and send it to them, will they accept it?"

"If you definitely want them, you'd better talk to her in advance. It's best to let her tell you which mushrooms you can and can't take, otherwise it will be in vain if you pick them up."

"Do you know who to tell?"

Several people were stunned. Who should they tell? Who else could they tell? They should definitely ask the old man about this matter.

The woman had an expression that said, "I knew you didn't know." "You should ask their eldest granddaughter, Xiaoqing. You should usually ask her about these matters. She's the one who makes the decisions."

Who to ask?

Several people were stunned, thinking they had heard wrongly.

The woman repeated, "It's Su Ziling, you all call her Miss Su."

"Okay, we got it." Several people responded quickly, their eyes full of shock. "Of course we have to ask. We should at least give you a heads up in advance. By the way, big sister, can I ask about the price? How much is it per pound? Or how do you calculate it?"

"These porcini and other mushrooms are ten cents a pound, while the other mushrooms are a little cheaper, six cents a pound. If there are chicken mushrooms, those are the most expensive, fifteen cents a pound."

The woman was also very patient. She talked to them carefully while she was peeling the mud off the roots of the mushrooms.

Several people also listened very carefully, nodding as they listened, and they couldn't help feeling secretly happy in their hearts. Wow, the one she was peeling, they had it over there, and quite a lot of it.

Ten cents a pound?

How much would they sell the ones they pick up in the mountains for?

Several people thanked her and left, with their mouths wide open all the way. When they returned to the Su family's yard, they looked around and began to look for Su Ziling.

The moment we saw her, we pushed each other and said, "You go, you go."

"No, no, you're not good at talking, go ahead!"

"Or, let's wait until tomorrow to ask."

"Yes, yes, yes. We have to go back tomorrow. You can ask Zi Zhong tomorrow, or ask An Yang when the time comes. He is the eldest brother, so he is the most suitable." (Our local custom is to go back the next day)

Finally, a few people sat back, drinking tea and muttering. I don’t know what they talked about, but they were so happy that their eyes narrowed into slits.

In addition, they looked in Su Ziling's direction from time to time, and the elders who came to see the bride off looked at each other, and then began to whisper.

"Do you think these guys will fall in love with their granddaughter?"

"It's possible," he said, and began to look at Su Ziling. "I just asked around about this girl. She's very capable. Whoever marries her will marry the God of Wealth!"

"I'm just afraid these guys don't have the ability."

Most of the people who came to send off the bride today are young people. Young people are strong and are just suitable for carrying the dowry and cabinets.

“Is it very demanding?”

“I haven’t heard of any request…”

"What's there to be afraid of? These young men in our village are good at work, very hardworking, well-looking, and have no bad habits. I think it can work out."

As soon as the two finished talking, they saw Lu Yan walk in, followed by two young men, both of whom were carrying a box.

The moment he saw him, Su Ziling was also stunned.

The young man was dressed in black, with the corners of his clothes fluttering in the wind, and his unruly eyebrows were filled with a faint smile.

He stood in the sun, in the middle of the yard, the sunlight shining on his body, and his black suit was inexplicably tinged with color.

He tilted his head slightly, "Grandma, I'm here to see you. I heard that today is Zi Zhong's big day. Am I not late?"
