Chapter 125 Drying Mushrooms
Considering the speed of collecting puppy eggs and the actual situation after the mushrooms in the mountains are divided among everyone, this task is by no means easy for him.
In comparison, drying mushrooms seems to be a more suitable option for him.
Hearing this, Xiao Gou Dan's eyes turned slightly red, and a trace of shame and self-blame flashed in his eyes.
He felt that he was too weak and always made his aunt Ran He worry, as if he was a child who always needed care, constantly adding trouble and distress to Ran He's life.
"Oh, don't be like this, little man, why are you crying? You still have a family to support and responsibilities to shoulder. Besides, I'm so busy every day that I really don't have the extra energy to take care of those mushrooms. Even if it's not you, I will find someone else to help. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, come and help me dry the mushrooms starting tomorrow."
Ran He's words were full of love and understanding, trying to wipe away the haze in Xiaogoudan's heart.
Xiao Gou Dan nodded vigorously. Although he still felt a little uneasy, he felt more proud of being trusted and taking responsibility.
He accepted this seemingly simple but significant job.
At the same time, Wu's mother and others also came to weigh their own gains.
Their luck seemed to be a little better. They picked more than ten pounds of mushrooms in total and exchanged them for 120 copper coins.
On the first day when mushrooms in the mountains had not yet been picked on a large scale, everyone was lucky enough to get a piece of mushroom-rich land, and even the smallest harvested at least 20 kilograms.
Ran He carefully settled accounts for everyone and paid on the spot, ensuring that everyone received the compensation they deserved immediately.
Mother Wu was still envious of Ran He for having hundreds of taels of silver, so she took the opportunity to mention the news that Wu Xu was about to return, hoping to remind Ran He that her support would soon return, and those silver and money might not seem so important anymore.
Indeed, Yan Qin had already spread the word that Wu Xu would return home in two days, and Wu's mother had been looking forward to it for a long time.
In her opinion, if Ran He was wise enough, he should understand his position and make corresponding adjustments.
After all, although Ran He did accumulate some wealth with his medical skills and herbal medicine, Wu Xu, as a traveling escort, must have gained more wealth.
This time when I go home, I might bring back a considerable sum of money.
By then, all the money will be controlled by Wu's mother. She wants to see if Ran He can still remain indifferent and whether he will still look at her life with envy.
However, in the face of Wu's mother's hint, Ran He's expression did not fluctuate at all, as if Wu Xu's return date did not have any special meaning to her, and his existence or not seemed so insignificant.
Mother Wu felt as if her fist had hit cotton. All her provocations and calculations seemed to have lost their focus, and her arrogance dissipated in an instant.
She snorted in dissatisfaction, turned and left Ran He's yard, sneering in her heart, waiting for the day when Ran He would regret and beg for mercy.
Shortly after the mushroom collection work was completed, Zhu Cuihua brought her husband Dayong and a cart full of wood to Ran He's residence.
These materials were used to make a new bed for Ran He. They were piled up on the cart, revealing the hard work and thought they put into it.
"Ran He, my man has prepared everything. You go ahead and he will come in and help you assemble the bed."
Zhu Cuihua helped to tidy up while talking so that Ran He didn't have to do it himself. After all, how could you hire someone to do the job and still put in the effort yourself?
Ran He didn't say much, but silently made way for them.
Due to the large number of items, Ran He suggested parking the cart directly in the center of the yard, close to the corner of the house, so that the subsequent transportation work would be easier and more convenient.
"Okay, first we need to move that old bed out. I think it would be more appropriate to put it in the warehouse."
Ran He had already packed up the bedding and put it in the closet. The bed frame now looked particularly empty and old.
"No problem, everything is up to you!"
Zhu Cuihua responded readily, and with the combined efforts of the two, the simple old bed was soon exposed to the outdoor air.
This old bed had been in disrepair for so many years that it seemed unusually light and could be lifted up almost at once.
"Wow, we can sleep in our new bed tonight, that's awesome!"
The children cheered excitedly one after another. The discomfort of the old beds was a thing of the past for them.
Thanks to the soft bedding prepared by their mother, they didn't get bruises on their backs while sleeping.
Zhu Cuihua loved the children and followed their emotions to join in the small celebration: "Yes, this new bed was made by uncle and auntie themselves. I guarantee that you will have a sweet dream every night!"
This care and commitment from the elders, like warm sunshine, shines into every child's heart.
Ran He stepped lightly onto the open field. The sun was shining brightly, filling the entire open space and laying a golden welcome blanket for the upcoming mushroom feast.
She leaned over the wide ground, thinking that in such a spacious place, even drying hundreds of kilograms of mushrooms would be a piece of cake.
Just as my thoughts were flowing, a thought flashed through my mind - a dustpan was missing.
This seemingly inconspicuous little tool can greatly reduce her burden. She no longer needs to bend down and place the mushrooms one by one. Just sprinkle them lightly and the mushrooms will be evenly spread out to enjoy the baptism of sunshine.
Thinking of this, Ran He looked around and made sure that no one was watching before she carefully took out an exquisite dustpan from her mysterious space.
This winnowing basket is finely woven by hand, and the interweaving of bamboo strips reveals the craftsman's care, making it like a work of art, pleasing to the eye.
Even if someone happens to see it, they can just say it is a treasure they found at the market. As for where they bought it, that is a secret that does not need to be investigated in depth.
The mushrooms piled up into a small hill. Ran He first moved some of them under the eaves, which was sheltered from the wind but still exposed to the sun, perfect for the first drying. He then turned them over in the afternoon to let the heat from the scorching sun completely take away the moisture from the mushrooms.
The other corner of the yard is also occupied by freshly picked mushrooms. They are scattered on the hemp net. The breeze blows through the hall, taking away excess moisture, leaving behind a touch of warmth and fragrance for the coming winter.
While busy, Zhu Cuihua pushed the door open and was stunned for a moment by the scene in front of her.
The densely packed and orderly arranged mushrooms, under the sunlight, seemed not to be food but a vivid picture of life.
"Ran He, I almost forgot to ask, what are you going to do with all these mushrooms? Are you planning to sell them or use them for your own use?"
Zhu Cuihua asked curiously.
Ran He smiled slightly, but did not reveal the truth. He only said, "After drying, they will be given to the neighbors.
