"Yes, yes, Miss Su is very capable, how could she just take everything out so easily?"

Lu Yan agreed with her while smiling, and walked over, looking at the things on the table with a helpless look on his face.

"too much."

"What?" Su Ziling was still flipping through the dried vegetables. She had blanched them in water, so when cooking the noodles, she could just grab a handful and throw them in. They would cook easily.

"It's too much. I can't carry so much. I still have to hurry on my way." Lu Yan said as he picked out some vermicelli.

"Just take these."

Su Ziling frowned, "Even if you are in a hurry, you still need to eat, right? It won't work if you only bring vermicelli. Bring some dried meat. Dried meat will help you to stay full."

"Okay, take the dried meat with you." Lu Yan said as he packed another bag of dried meat.

"You really don't want to bring anything else? It's okay if you don't bring anything. When you get there, give me the address and I can ask the caravan to deliver it to you."

Su Ziling tried to distract him by talking, and pretended to casually stuff a bag of meat jerky into the bag, but she didn't expect that Lu Yan saw everything she did.

"What are you doing?"

The voice was full of laughter, but also a bit helpless.

After being caught, Su Ziling simply stopped being sneaky and said, "I've prepared some food for you. You like this meat jerky very much, right? Take it with you on the road. When you're hungry, just chew a few slices and you'll be full."

Seeing that he was about to take it out, Su Ziling slapped his hand without saying anything, "Don't take it out. How heavy can this bag of meat be?"

A crisp slap sounded, and Su Ziling was stunned. She didn't expect that Lu Yan didn't dodge.

Seeing her in a daze, Lu Yan rubbed her hair and said, "Okay, take it, take it, take it all, and pack everything else in."

Su Ziling came back to his senses, looked at the things on the table and shook his head, "Forget it, these are not easy to take, so this is it. Oh, and here are some hot pot ingredients, do you want some?"

"Yes, I'll bring it to Lu Jingyu. This guy is very greedy. He wants to eat some grass on the roadside when he sees it."

Knowing that she didn't know Lu Jingyu, he added, "Lu Jingyu is Lu Anyu's biological brother."

Su Ziling had an impression of Lu Anyu when she was mentioned. She called him "sister" all the time, was a bit noisy, and loved to eat. "Where is Lu Anyu?"

"He is in Shangjing. His brother protects him so well that he has never seen any dirty things. Now is a time of trouble, so why not let him stay in Shangjing?"

I see. It means that he is simple-minded and easy to be cheated.

Thinking of his personality, Su Ziling asked with a smile, "Is he really staying in Shangjing peacefully?"

"How is that possible?" Lu Yan gave her a look that said, "You're thinking about running away every day, but you get caught nine times out of ten."

Su Ziling: "What about the remaining time?"

"Oh, he was caught just as he stepped out the door."

Su Ziling: "..."

Oh my god, so he was caught nine times before he even reached the door?

"Is one piece enough? Or take another one?" She cooked a lot of hot pot base, more than enough for a year. Besides, their family didn't always eat lacquer oil hot pot base, sometimes they also had black bean hot pot.

So there is still quite a lot of lacquer oil hotpot base, and it’s okay to give away a few more. At most they will just eat fewer meals.

"One piece is enough. If I have more, I won't be able to carry enough," Lu Yan said as he tied the bag, fearing that if he was late, Su Ziling would stuff more things into his bag.

"You don't know, I basically sent all the pickles you made to him. Over there, he only eats porridge, pickles and steamed bread every day, and his appetite is so bland."

"The problem is that the pickles they eat are really just pickles. They have no other taste except saltiness. Even the soup is made from seasonal wild vegetables. If there are no wild vegetables, sometimes they just throw in a bone or beat a few eggs to make egg drop soup."

"If you have time, you can dry more vegetables. I'll ask him to pay you. If you have dried vegetables, you can throw a handful into the soup in the cold winter."

The year before last, her family planted a lot of radishes, which had a good yield and could be eaten in many ways. Radishes could be made into dried radishes or spicy radish cubes, and the radish leaves could be pickled into stir-fried pickled vegetables or dried pickled vegetables. No matter which one, they were very popular, so she planted a lot more last year.

Knowing that her family also harvested radishes, many people in the village followed suit and even people from other villages started planting radishes after hearing about it.

So last year there were more radishes than ever before, and the people in the mushroom workshop started washing and soaking olives after the mushrooms were gone.

After soaking for a month, I was busy washing, cutting, drying, and pickling radishes. I thought the workshop would be closed without mushrooms and would have to reopen next year. Unexpectedly, the work continued one after another and I could never finish it.

But everyone is happy. It's better to be busy because you can make money if you are busy.

She was busy for more than a month and pickled one or two hundred jars of dried radishes and seventy or eighty jars of pickled vegetables. They were big jars that could hold one person. She was a little worried at that time, afraid that she would not be able to sell them all.

All the empty houses on Lu Yan's side were filled up. Later one day, he took away two-thirds of them and just said that he was selling them. He didn't say where they were sold. After he made some money, Su Ziling didn't ask any more questions.

Unexpectedly, I sold it to an acquaintance.

Later, he wanted to give away the remaining ones, but Su Ziling refused. She wanted to keep them and sell them in the restaurant herself.

"Okay, I'll do more this year. There will be a lot of wild vegetables in the next two months. I'll call on everyone to let them dry more. I won't make money from this. I'll give the money directly to them from the sales."

Su Ziling thought that everyone's life was better now, and no one ate wild vegetables as meals anymore, so he would just occasionally pick some to eat when there were no vegetables.

So there are quite a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains. To be honest, her family eats more wild vegetables. Whenever they come across fresh seasonal ones, they will pick them and bring them back to eat.

"Yeah," Lu Yan replied. He didn't notice that the bag was tied into a knot, but continued, "It's just that the price may not be too high. They are also poor and have limited funds."

"Your dried radish is just that. The price is not high. It was only because Lu Jingyu subsidized me that I was able to sell it at that price."

"Yes, I know. We don't expect to get rich from this. We will be happy if we can earn a little to supplement the family income."

"Here," Su Ziling took out a sachet from his bosom, "there are some herbs in it, the kind that can be used to treat wounds. If you get hurt, you can use a knife to cut some of the medicine off, grind it into powder and sprinkle it on the wound. It's quite useful. In addition to the medicine, there is also a peace charm."

"Okay, I'll take good care of it."

"Remember to send a message back when you get there. Leave me your address and I'll send something to you."

Lu Yan smiled bitterly, "This is really not possible. I guess there is no specific address. They are all mobile. If you want to send it, let Qing Wu do it. He knows the address. If you send it to Lu Jingyu, that guy will at least leave some for me."

"But remember to ask him for the money. It's okay if he doesn't give it to you. Just write it down one by one and ask him for it in person when I come back."

"What if he doesn't give it to me?"

"Then let's beat him!" Lu Yan raised his chin slightly, his eyes full of confidence.

Perhaps because they were about to leave, both of them had a lot to talk about, as if they could never finish talking.
