After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 21 Discovery of Yams
There are still many people who come to sell mushrooms at noon, but fortunately, Gu Qing has already prepared for it, and collected all the copper coins, cleared all the accounts left over from yesterday, and collected the mushrooms from the villagers, and there is not a single coin left in the morning up.

Gu Qing was not only heartbroken, but also very happy.

But I also greeted the villagers present in advance, saying that the mushroom money for the night would not be settled until noon the next day.

Many villagers have seen the carriage that received the goods in the morning, and seeing that Gu Qing paid the bills very straightforwardly today, they all expressed their confidence that they can wait.

Three chickens were killed at noon, and a large pot was stewed. Mushrooms were not worth much before, but now almost every household is eating mushrooms. Now mushrooms are worth a lot. Gu Qing wanted to stew hen with mushrooms, but five of them disagreed.

The mushrooms picked in the old house today were also sold for a lot of copper coins. Gu Tao, the eldest daughter of the second room, sent a lot of fresh fungus over at noon, and it looked like they picked them during the mushroom picking in the morning.

The fungus that came over was boiled with the chicken.

The room was filled with aromas, and the food of several people was particularly delicious, especially Gu Nuo, who had a big chicken leg in his left hand and a small chicken leg in his right hand, and his mouth was full of greasy food.

The appetite of the people at noon once again refreshed Gu Qing's understanding of the few people. A pot full of chicken, a pot full of white rice, and two large iron pots were turned upside down.

It made Gu Qing think that they were possessed by evil spirits.

After lunch, Gu Qing also went up the mountain with the others. The group walked into the deep mountain. There were no people here a few days ago, but today, all the mushrooms in this area have been dug up.

You have to continue to go deeper into the woods.

Gu Qing still wanted to continue looking for Matsutake, planning to go a little deeper.

Gu's third daughter-in-law, Song, followed Gu Qing. The old lady said that Gu Qing was injured, and asked them to take care of Gu Qing when they saw Gu Qing on the mountain.

Where does the Song family refuse to agree, let alone the meat that Gu Qing sent recently, it is just about collecting mushrooms, there are bad people in the village who want to curry favor with Gu Qing.

"Qing'er, your grandma said that you have an injury on your back. You carry the basket for the third aunt, and the third aunt will carry it for you." She chased after Gu Qing and said it several times, but Gu Qing didn't give it to her.

Gu Qing walked deeper and deeper, and she didn't know where to go.

Mrs. Song glanced at the sky, the sun had already come out, it was getting hotter and hotter, and the wild grasses and vegetables were gone. Before noon, she had to dig a basket of wild vegetables to feed the pigs, otherwise the old lady would lose her temper again.

There happened to be a large piece of fresh wild vegetables that no one had dug in front of her, so she quickly squatted down to work.

Gu Tao, the eldest girl at the old house, also squatted down, but when she looked up, she saw Gu Qing walking into the thorny forest in front, hunched over, not knowing what she was looking for.

She licked her lips, did the elder sister find something good again?

She rolled her eyes and followed her quietly.

Gu Qing took Gu Yu, Gu Nuomo, and Zhu Han to continue walking. If there were mushrooms on the side of the road, let the four of them dig first. She continued walking alone. Even if she couldn’t find matsutake, she could have some porcini mushrooms. Not bad.

She was stepping on thorns and peeling away large leaves, and an empty valley suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

A concave valley was naturally formed between the two mountains, and it was actually covered with yam vines, that is to say, the area was full of wild yams.

【Ding!Discover wild yams! 】

The harvest season for yams is from September to October, and it is only mid-July now, Gu Qing shook her head and continued to move forward.

【Ding!Discover wild matsutake mushrooms! 】

Gu Qing turned around, peeled away the thorns, and the layers of broad leaves, and saw three or four matsutake growing in the soft soil.

She gently and carefully dug out the matsutake. There were six matsutakes in total, four of which were relatively large, weighing a total of one catty.

【Ding!A catty of wild matsutake mushrooms is worth 1200 Wen. Is it for sale? 】

【Yes! 】

Gu Qing's pocket was instantly heavy.

Sure enough, matsutake is quick to make money.

She walked along the bushes and found many common mushrooms.

Nanzhou already produces mushrooms. The land in Gujia Village is fertile, and mushrooms grow wildly in piles on the mountain. Even if the harvest is over, even if it doesn't rain, as long as the mountain is moist enough, the next crop of mushrooms will grow quickly.

Gu Qing picked some and sold some. When Zhu Han asked him to go down the mountain, she was heavy in her pocket, but there was not even a single mushroom in her back basket.

Zhu Han calmly took off her empty pannier and held it in her hand, and they went down the mountain together.

When they got home, the fast-footed villagers had already lined up and waited at the door.

They were already proficient at harvesting mushrooms a few times. Gu Qing asked Zhu Han to cook directly, Gu Nuo fed the chickens, Gu Yu took Zhu Han's place to sort mushrooms with Gu Qing, Mo Li weighed, Yang Pei register.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were borrowed from Lizheng's house.

After collecting the mushrooms, having dinner, and washing up, Gu Qing told a few people that she sold the mushrooms and went to the town tomorrow morning to buy something.

The most basic pens, inks, papers and inkstones must be bought as a set, and it is not a problem to borrow Lizheng’s ones every day.Buy two new clothes for each person, lest they be reluctant to wear them, keep the new clothes in the closet for ashes, and wear the old clothes every day.

What else should I buy?Thinking about Gu Qing fell asleep...

A cock crow awakened the Gu family village.

When the genius was dim, Gu Qing sat up from the bed.

And when she stood up, several people in the next room also opened their eyes at the same time.

Gu Nuo shouted in a daze, "Sister, I'm going to town too."

Gu Yu also followed suit: "Eldest sister, let me go with you!"

These two children have never been to the town, and they both look like they have never seen the world.

Gu Qing said ruthlessly: "Okay, everyone get up and wash up, our whole family will go!"

Mo Li's eyes widened: "Patriarch, can we go too?"

"Why can't you go? Each of you is a hero of this family and has made a lot of contributions to this family. Now that we have money, we can go if we want!"

Mo Li grinned: "Then I have to wear the new clothes the owner bought."

That's right, the Patriarch even bought them new clothes, but he was reluctant to wear them all the time. After Mo Li reminded them, everyone got up happily and put on the coarse clothes that Gu Qing bought last time to wash their faces.

Gu Qing smiled and nodded: "That's right, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. I can't even recognize you who are so handsome after changing your clothes."

When Gu Qing said this before, the three of them just felt disgusted, but now they all blushed when they heard it, and they were secretly happy in their hearts.

I'm so happy, the owner praised me for being handsome!
After several people washed up and were about to have breakfast, there was a familiar voice from the virtual mall delivery clerk at the door.

Several people put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another, and began to carry mushrooms. This time the money was more. Yesterday at noon, they collected 11 taels of mushrooms, and at night they owed the villagers 20 taels of mushroom silver. The cost of collecting mushrooms alone cost 31 taels. There are a lot of matsutake in the mushrooms. The matsutake is sold to the mall for 1200 yuan a catty, but Gu Qing only gave 500 yuan a catty.

In this way, the price difference will make a lot of money. As soon as the bill was settled today, the receiving brother directly brought a basket of copper coins over.

"This hanging money is one thousand taels, which is one tael of silver. Your total is 65 taels of silver. After deducting the door-to-door fee, it is 64 hanging coins. You count them." The two delivery guys smiled and waited for Gu Qing to tap.

After Gu Qing finished counting, Yang Pei and Zhu Han carried the money back to the house, and the two younger brothers left towards the entrance of the village in a carriage.
