In less than half an hour, her backpack was full. Su Ziling straightened up and took a look, and found that Su's mother and the others were not far from her, bending down to pick them up one by one.

"Auntie, how many have you found?"

When Mother Su heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't help but say, "The basket is half full and almost full. How many have you picked up and how fast are you running?"

Su Ziling was fast and walked much ahead of them.

"My sister's bag must be full." Su Zimu also straightened up, "If she is dissatisfied with the basket, she won't even speak, right sister?"

Su Ziling raised her eyebrows, "Yes, mine is full."

She put the backpack on the spot and started to search nearby. After picking it up, she put it on the ground and just put it in the backpack when Su's mother and others came over.

After half an hour, everyone's backpacks were full, and it started to drizzle again.

"Let's go home. Come back when the rain clears." Mother Su called them after picking up the fungi.

Su Zimu picked it up. Even though the backpack was full, he still couldn't bear to leave. "Auntie, why don't you send it back and bring me a backpack later? I don't want to go back."

"Let's go, you'll catch a cold if you get caught in the rain. Come back when the weather clears up, and go back and wash the mushrooms to make mushroom sauce. This won't be fresh after being stored for a long time." Su Ziling stood aside and urged him.

After arriving home, everyone took out the dustpan and sieve to pick out the mushrooms. They put the green ones in the basin to make mushroom sauce. The other bacteria were wiped with grass and leaves and placed in the dustpan to dry.

Su Zizhong and the others were responsible for sorting the fungi, Su Ziling was responsible for washing the fungi and checking to see if they had picked up any poisonous ones, and Su Mu and Bai Wei were responsible for cutting them.

Su Ziling also took out the condiments and asked Mother Su and the others to cut them together.

It was already an hour after the cutting.

Looking at the two big pots of mushrooms, Su Ziling drained out all the oil at home. She put two bowls of glutinous rice cakes and peppers and a ladle of dried peppers.

Add onion, ginger, garlic, star anise and fruit, stir everything evenly, and the fragrance will spread, and everyone in the village can smell it.

"I'm going to buy oil tomorrow, and Huo Huo has finished all the oil." Su Ziling took a large pot of mushroom paste, and she thought about putting it into a jar after it cooled down a little.

Mother Su took a new jar, which had not been used yet. She disinfected it with wine and put it upside down.

Mother Su also frowned, "This stuff is delicious, but it also consumes a lot of oil. Let's try selling it first. If it sells well, we can make it. If it doesn't sell, we can dry it in the sun and eat it ourselves in the winter. "

Su Ziling nodded, "Well, that's what I think too. Tomorrow I'll go to the county to buy a few jars to hold the fungus paste, and I'll also buy some lard to boil."

"Jar?" Mr. Su looked up at her, "What kind of jar?"

Su Ziling raised her hand and compared it with him, "It's about this big. If it's too big, it's expensive and I guess it won't be easy to sell."

What she was talking about was a jar that was larger than the bowl. If the jar was too big, the price would have to be raised. I guess those people would find it too expensive, so it would be better to sell smaller jars that are cheaper.

"That's it," Mr. Su thought for a while, "I remember that the couple from the old Wang family in the village used to burn this thing. They didn't make much money, but their lives were pretty good. Later, a prodigal son came into the family, and everything was over. He was totally ruined, his son died, and he left the old couple with a lot of debt."

"I'll go and ask him later. If he still wants to make it, I'll just go to the county to buy it. It's a long way away, and it's easy to break and hard to get."

"Okay, grandpa, please take the time to ask."

He moved at his will. There was nothing to do on a rainy day, so Mr. Su put on his hat and raincoat and set off.

Su Ziling looked at the sky and realized that it was too early to start cooking, so she thought that since the steamer was ready, she had to make some baking powder. There was still a little bit left from what she made last time.

The rain cleared that night, and sure enough, the sun came out the next morning.

After a rain, the grass in the field grew like crazy, as tall as the crops. In just a few days, the field became green and there were no crops in sight.

But there was nothing we could do, the road was still in bad condition, there was mud everywhere, and it was impossible to get down into the ground. We had to wait for at least two days of sunshine.

Thinking that she couldn't do any work, Su Ziling ate her meal, took the tea on her back and headed to the county with Su Zizhong.

Others continued to pick up mushrooms with their backpacks on their backs.

When we arrived at the county, we also delivered tea first. This time there was not much, two jins of century-old tea and ten jins of new tea.

That's twelve taels of silver and four hundred wen. After taking the money, the two of them didn't stay much longer. The road was too difficult to go and they couldn't delay.

After selling tea, they went straight to the pork breasts and bought all the pork suet and fat.

Two kilograms of pork suet cost forty cents, ten kilograms of fat meat cost one hundred and eighty cents, and five kilograms of lean meat cost seventy-five cents. Su Ziling also took them all, thinking that she would chop them into pieces and add them to the fungus sauce. It's even more fragrant.

For the same five cents, I brought the fat intestines and a few pig bones.

The total cost of buying meat was 300 yuan. Butcher Yang was so happy that he couldn't help but think that although it was a market today, it had just rained and not many people would come, so he slaughtered a smaller pig. He thought they wouldn't be sold out, but Su Ziling helped him sweep them all away again.

After buying the meat, the two went to the grain and oil store to buy noodles to make steamed buns. She couldn't do it without noodles. She had cornmeal at home, so she would buy some buckwheat noodles, black noodles and white noodles.

Seeing how much meat they were carrying on their backs, the smile on the boy's face became brighter when he spoke, "What do you two want to buy?"

The price was already known, so Su Ziling didn't hesitate any longer, "I want ten jins of white flour, twenty jins of black noodles, and thirty jins of buckwheat noodles."

When Su Ziling opened her mouth, the waiter was stunned, obviously not expecting that she would ask for so much as soon as she opened her mouth.

Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Su Ziling frowned and said, "Dude?"

"Hey, wait a moment, you two." The waiter came to his senses, took the bag from Su Ziling's hand and went to fill it with noodles.

He didn't expect that these two people would actually buy so much, including dozens of kilograms of noodles. Only wealthy people would dare to buy like this, right?

But they don’t look alike, do they?

The man shook his head and pretended to be a little faster.

Ten pounds of white flour cost 350 Wen, twenty pounds of black flour cost 200 Wen, and thirty pounds of buckwheat noodles cost 240 Wen. The total cost of buying noodles was 790 Wen.

The two of them came out of the grain and oil store. Their two backpacks were already full. After shopping, they walked towards the city gate.

There was a bullock cart waiting there, and it belonged to Old Man Li. However, it was not rented today. Instead, when they came out, they happened to meet Old Man Li sending villagers to the county. They paid three pennies each, and Su Ziling and the others sat down with them.

The ride on an ox cart saved the two of them a lot of time, but it had just rained and the road was extremely slippery. It was already early in the morning when the two arrived home. (19:00)

The sun had already set in the west, and the afterglow of the sunset fell on the two of them, making their figures extremely long.

Smoke was floating in the sky over the village, and geese flew across the sky towards the mountains.

From time to time, the sound of cocks crowing, dogs barking, and adults' roars could be heard in the village.
