I took out the things in the back basket, sorted them out, cut half of the meat for later use, and hung the other half in the well to prevent it from breaking.The fish is also killed, and put salt on it for later use.Because I just ate two meat buns, I'm not hungry yet.

The big ingot and two pieces of silver in his arms were taken out, and there were 36 copper plates, and he weighed the big ingot carefully. Although the exact number was not clear, Su Qing thought, this should be ten taels, two taels. One, that is, there are 20 taels.

One tael of silver is one thousand copper plates, which can buy one hundred catties of rice and fifty catties of pork. It seems that I am considered a little rich man. The money should be able to be used for a while, plus the money for selling ten catties of tea, After the calculation, Su Qing's eyes lit up, it was 50 taels of silver.

Thinking about it, I still feel very beautiful.It seems that coming to this ancient time is not so difficult to accept. He wants to earn more money, so that when he gets old in the future, he will have someone to rely on.

But thinking of the saying that he will marry a man at the age of 16 is still a bit scary, and I don't know what he should do at that time.But don't think about these for now, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge, let's talk about it then, Su Qing thought very bachelor.

By the way, I don't know how much silver taels are needed to build a courtyard wall, but judging from the fact that Daddy Fang and the others only need 35 copper coins for a day's work, it shouldn't be much.Coupled with meals, it is also bearable.

When the tea leaves are almost picked, ask Daddy Fang and the others to help build it, and then they can give some more copper coins.

I don't know when Shi Shi and the others will come back, cut up the meat, marinate it, and cook the braised pork at night, and wash the other dishes and put them aside.Looking at the sky, I yawned, my body is still small, I didn't sleep for a long time last night, so go to sleep first.Otherwise, how can I have the energy to fry tea at night.

-------------------------------------------

Besides, the Fang family's mother took Shishi and Si'er to the mountain, and they had to pick more bracken and bamboo shoots to go home, or they would be gone after a while. Didn't you see that many people were already picking on the mountain? .

Yesterday, several people came to inquire about it, and Fang Amu told them all without concealing it.

No, there were quite a few of them here on the hillside today. Fang Ah Mu thought that maybe in a few days, the whole village would come, maybe other villages would know about it too.

Hey, who makes this world difficult? It's not easy for every family. Although Dongtou Village is the wealthiest among the nearby villages, it's because there are a few rich people in the village.

As for the other villagers, they were just looking for food and clothing, otherwise there would not be so few wild vegetables on the mountain. Thinking of this, Fang Amu was still very grateful to Su Qing, who was the first to tell his family.

Fortunately, there are many of these things on the mountain, and they grow well. As long as you search carefully, even if someone has just passed by in front of you, you will not walk empty-handed again. There will be more or less, and you will not go home empty-handed every day.

Moreover, there are many hillsides here, and the village next door is the same. The mountains are also everywhere, and they are like leeks. After one crop is cut, another crop grows, and they are not afraid of being picked up by others.

At this time, when the brothers saw Fang Amu, they all gathered around to say hello to him.Two of them were the people who came to ask him yesterday, and they seemed to bring a few good ones with them.

"Ayun is here too."

Ayun is the name of Fang's mother. Most of the brothers in Dongtou Village have the surname Fang, but there are men from this village and from other villages.The caller was one of the people who came to ask questions yesterday, and he was also Fang Amu's good friend and relative.

Several other brothers also greeted.

"Yeah, isn't it difficult these days? There is no surplus food at home, and the wheat in the field has been confiscated. It happens that there is nothing else to do. Seeing this wild vegetable, I will gather more and dry it to eat later. Is it okay? It’s not about filling your stomach.”

"Yes, yes, we also saw this in your family's stone picking, but we didn't see anyone picking it in previous years, and we didn't know how to eat these two things. Stone, we are all in the same village, and everyone's life is the same. So can you tell us how to do this?"

A few older elders next to me also nodded straightly. They also heard that this food can be eaten, and they are not very clear about how to make it. They happened to meet Fang Amu and asked by the way. Anyway, there are many such things on the mountain. I'm not afraid that if I pick it myself, others won't be able to pick it. In previous years, no one paid attention to it. It turns out that these two things are edible.

Fang Amu didn't hide anything, "I only found out about it two days ago, and my family has been busy these two days, and it happens that everyone is here now, so I'll let you know.

He casually pulled out a small bamboo shoot as thick as a little finger from the grass, "This is called a bamboo shoot, as long as you peel off the outer skin, that's it." I demonstrated it with my hands.

"The meat in it can be eaten fried, boiled, or dried, but if it is dried, it must be boiled first before it can be dried. It can also be pickled and eaten, just like pickled pickles. In addition, this is called Bracken, if you clean the fur on the head, it’s almost as good as bamboo shoots, but Su Ge’er said, this bracken is still delicious after drying, you can figure it out.”

"Oh, Ah Yun, you're so smart. Thanks to you wanting to get it, you know that there are not many wild vegetables on the mountain now. Fortunately, there are these to make up for, otherwise, you will be hungry." Little brother said loudly.

"Yeah, Ah Yun is smart."

Then everyone laughed. It was better for them to find a new food than anything else.

Fang Amu was embarrassed by the words, and hurriedly explained: "You all misunderstood, I didn't think of it, it was Su Geer next door to me, and he told me that this thing is edible."

Because everyone didn't know Su Qing, so they asked about it, and Fang's mother gave Su Qing a good publicity. The sick man recovered from his illness within a month after arriving in Dongtou Village, and became very smart.

I praised Dongtou Village again, and then went to busy myself. There are several people here, and they can't all stay in one place.

Shi Shi also took the opportunity to explain the inedible things that Su Qing said, fearing that those people would not understand and take home the inedible ones, and then it would be bad to blame his family and Brother Su.

The three of them were not far away, and little Si'er was also very attentive. Although he was small and didn't have much strength, he was able to find more. He rummaged under the bamboo very carefully.

"Ayun, Shitou, Si'er, where are you?"

The stone drilled under the bamboo suddenly heard someone calling him, and the voice seemed to be the second father and the others, so he quickly got out.

Seeing the second father, the third father and the eldest brother at the foot of the mountain, all carrying a big basket, Shito hurriedly said hello.

Several people saw the stone and climbed up quickly, Fang Amu and Si'er also chased after it.

"Second brother, what's the matter, why are you all back? Is there something wrong? And the eldest brother, is it him...?" Several people.

Didn't they go out to look for work? Why did they come back at this time, and the eldest brother was not there? How could they not let him think about it.

Seeing Fang Amu's complexion, Second Father Fang helped him to explain, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, it's a good thing. Didn't Brother Su go to sell tea with elder brother? The price. Doesn’t it mean that we help pick it.”

Then suddenly the voice suddenly lowered, "I also said that I would give ten copper coins a catty."

"What, what are you talking about, ten copper coins, one catty, so high." Fang Amu's excited voice suddenly became louder when he heard that ten copper coins were given to one catty.Fang's second father couldn't stop him in time, he was afraid of being heard, but the eldest brother reminded himself not to let others know.

Unexpectedly, it happened to be heard by a brother not far away, and he ran over quickly.But when he saw that Shitou's family was all there except for the boss, he didn't know what happened, so he became more careful, and slowly approached them, and heard vaguely about ten copper coins, could there be anything else? other...So he hurriedly asked, "Ah Yun, what did you just say, ten copper coins?"

Ah Mu saw that he was her best friend, so she didn't know whether she should say it or not, but after all, the two of them had a good relationship, so it's not good to hide it, and the other party was still somewhat related to her.

"It's like this. The second brother said that someone took this fresh tea and agreed to buy ten copper coins a catty, but the demand is not much. For the sake of our friendship, I will tell you secretly, you must not tell it. , or if there are too many, people don’t necessarily want it.”

"Ah, tell the truth, it's really ten...a catty." The man was startled, and then said with a smile, "Don't worry, Ayun, I will never tell anyone."

He also turned his head and carefully looked around to make sure if anyone was eavesdropping like him.

Although Fang's second father thought it was bad to tell others, he didn't stop him. After all, everyone was from the same village, and the other party was a good friend of his brother, so he didn't care about it.

Everyone looked at the stone, Si'er was too small, everyone automatically ignored it, but Su Ge'er said that they had to let the stone teach them how to pick it.

Shitou and Si'er were very happy. Ten copper coins a catty was a lot. If they could pick a few catties a day, it would be dozens of copper coins. Thinking about it, I think it's beautiful. Brother Su is really a good person.

Shitou and Si'er taught a few people how to pick the buds earnestly. They have already picked them, so of course they know.

Then several people separated, looking for tea trees, picking tea leaves quickly, if you pick more tea leaves, you will get more copper coins.

---------------------------------

When Su Qing woke up, the sun was already in the west. After washing his face, Fang's family hadn't come back yet.So I started to burn the fire, steamed the rice first, and when the rice was cooked, put it in a large pottery pot, covered it, and put it next to the stove. It was really inconvenient to have only one pot.

Then put the cut meat into the pot, a small piece of braised pork, delicious, Su Qing took a piece and tasted it, it was very good, fat but not greasy, full of crispy flavor, so delicious, This is authentic local pork. It is not fed or watered. The ones bought in the modern vegetable market are simply incomparable. I almost bit my tongue.

Look at the sky, the sun is already westward, the Fang family should be back.Put the meat in another pot, take out the marinated bracken and bamboo shoots and stir-fry each, and add the cabbage, lettuce and fish you bought.

There are really few vegetables in this season, but there are no greenhouses in ancient times, so we can only grow vegetables according to the seasons, which is also impossible.

After finishing, Su Qing went to Fang Amu's house, the door was closed, and it seemed that she hadn't come back yet.Su Qing was a little anxious, can she still see it so late?I should have told them to come back early, it was dark and dangerous, and I still brought Shitou and Sier with me.

Just when Su Qing was in a hurry, Fang's family came back. Seeing that several of them were carrying a big backpack, Su Qing rushed to meet them.

"Fang Amu, why did you come back? You won't be able to see the way any later."

Seeing that it was Su Qing, Fang Amu said with a smile: "Oh, Brother Su, don't we want to pick more, haha, look, we picked a lot of baskets."

"That's really great. Hurry up and wash in the house, and then come to my house for dinner. I have cooked all the food. And you should weigh it first to see how many catties it is. My family hasn't weighed it yet."

"Well, my family happens to have a name. By the way, Brother Su, this is Yuan Amu. He is my good friend, and he happens to be on the mountain too. Didn't I pick a bag too, can you take it too?"

Seeing that the brother was a little nervous, Su Qing nodded, "Let's accept today's ones first. You know that I'm the only one now. There are too many and I'm afraid I won't be able to fire them."

Fang's family was a little embarrassed when they heard it. After all, Su Qing asked their family to pick it to help them, so how could he not ask first.What if people don't let me pick it next time?

Seeing everyone's embarrassment, Su Qing hurriedly said: "Don't be nervous, I will definitely tell everyone if I accept it again next time, but next time you have to come back early, I can only fry after you come back, but tomorrow I have to ask the teahouse if they still want to continue to accept it."

Fang Amu nodded and said yes, then took the scale and weighed everyone's tea.
