Wearing eighty books, the little widow turns into a rich woman

Chapter 226 Chapter 228
Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang also got up, and the members surrounded them, asking Lin Lan and the others if they accepted their dry goods, and immediately gave the money.

"Don't worry, everyone, as long as we accept it, we will pay you immediately." Lin Lan said while looking at them.

"Don't worry, the mountain is here!" Everyone agreed, and went back to sell the dry goods for money.

Lin Lan and Wang Zhou Shitou returned home and asked Wu Shufang to go to the brigade to borrow a steelyard to weigh dry goods.Wu Shufang hurriedly left after agreeing.

Zhou Shitou asked: "Cousin, if the folks ask me to help bring the goods, where can I buy them?" He also borrowed Lin Lan's courage to agree just now.

Lin Lan thought about it for a while. The supply and marketing cooperative's salt was six cents a catty, and the salt she bought on the black market was two cents:
"We sell needles and threads on the black market. The price of salt is four cents a catty higher than that of the supply and marketing cooperative. You can write down what they need, and I will find someone to wholesale some for you, and they will buy it at your house. You can also earn some travel expenses."

Zhou Dashan looked at Lin Lan: "We sell salt, will they arrest me?"

Li Xiangyang said: "You can also count the things that everyone needs to buy, and ask them to give you the book and tickets. You can go to Shiqiao Town to help them buy them, and the family will charge two cents for travel expenses."

Zhou Dashan laughed and said, "Yes, it will be fine if you help them buy it."

Xu Hongju happily ran in: "Cousin, someone sent mushrooms, and the pumpkins are here."

"I'll get some baskets to put on." Zhou Dashan said and walked towards the woodshed.

Lin Lan smiled and said to Li Xiangyang: "Master Li, I will trouble you to hold the scale!"

Li Xiangyang smiled and said, "No problem, just leave it to me."

Zhou Xiangui and several children in the family came to Zhou Dashan's house with old pumpkins, dried fungus seeds and dried peppercorns.Wu Shufang came back after a few people carrying the steelyard.

Zhou Dashan happily stepped forward to take the bamboo basket Zhou Xiangui was carrying: "Uncle, please sit in the room and warm yourself by the fire."

Lin Guoliang pulled the stool away a little: "Grandpa Zhou, please sit down."

Zhou Xiangui looked at the few people happily: "Thank you, thank you for traveling so far to collect the mountain goods. We mountain people are afraid of being deceived by others. When we get familiar with each other later, we won't ask questions."

Lin Guoliang smiled and lit a cigarette for Zhou Xiangui: "Please help call everyone for a meeting."

Zhou Xiangui, Lin Guoliang and the others were setting up a dragon gate formation in the main room. When they learned from Lin Guoliang that the fields outside had been divided into households, they said, "It's so fast! I didn't hear any news when I went to the commune last time."

Lin Guoliang said: "Just after the New Year's Day."

"When your sister finishes her work, I'll come to her and ask her about the details." Zhou Xiangui said looking at Lin Lan who was busy outside.

In the courtyard, Li Xiangyang was busy weighing pumpkins with the steelyard borrowed by Wu Shufang.

Xu Hongju and Wu Shufang taught Lin Lan to identify the types of dried fungi and what kind of dried fungi were good.

Wu Shufang told Lin Lan that it is more troublesome to choose dried mushrooms than fresh mushrooms, and those who don't know them don't know which ones are dried and which ones are overcooked.

She picked up the dried mushrooms brought by Zhou Xiangui's house, and said that the dried mushrooms from Zhou Xiangui's house were good, and told her that the caps of good dried mushrooms were thick, neat, and smooth.

The size is uniform; the gills are neat and dense, and the edges are curled and thick; the stalks are short and thick, and they are as hard as dry sticks in the hand.Well-dried fungi have no mildew, debris and scorch.

The thick caps of dried mushrooms are better, and the thicker ones have a stronger fragrance; the caps that roll inward are from young mushrooms, and if they are straight, they are from old mushrooms.

Dried mushrooms are yellowish brown or dark brown, and the color is bright...

Lin Lan didn't expect that there are so many ways to dry mushrooms, so write it down carefully.

Wu Shufang taught her to recognize dried mushrooms and then taught her to look at dried peppercorns.The dried prickly ash in the mountains has a strong aroma, and Lin Lan felt her tongue tingle after smelling it for a while.

Zhou Xiangui's family hadn't finished weighing, and a few more families came, and two of them were the ones that were closer to Zhou Dashan's.

Lin Guoliang and Zhou Shitou also ran out to help pick old pumpkins and dried mushrooms.

Zhou Xiangui even went home and brought his family's steelyard to help weigh.

Lin Lan found that most of the old pumpkins brought by the members had been carefully selected. Lin Lan had cut so many pumpkins, the darker the skin and the darker the stripes, the better the mature ones.

The members who came to sell the dry goods met and said that Lin Lan got the money immediately, and she was relieved.

After their publicity, everyone came with dry goods from home, and the courtyard of Zhou Dashan's house was as lively as going to the market.

Aunt Wednesday brought her daughter-in-law, Zhou Qiaoyan carried a pumpkin and dried fungus, and Zanthoxylum bungeanum also came. She smiled at Wu Shufang and said, "Sister-in-law, my pumpkin is sweet and noodle-y, very delicious."

"As long as it's good, we'll take it." Wu Shufang glanced at her indifferently, and checked the old pumpkin in her back, letting Li Xiangyang and Lin Guoliang weigh it.

Over there, Xu Hongju picked out moldy and scorched dried fungi from the dried fungus that Zhou Qiaoyan was carrying and put them aside.

Xu Hongju looked up and saw Zhou Qiaoyan, blushing and peeking at Li Xiangyang, who was busy weighing, and glared at her: "Qiaoyan, my cousin doesn't want someone like this, you can take it back later."

Zhou Qiaoyan blushed and nodded, and put the dried mushrooms picked out by Xu Hongju back into the sack.

After seeing her on Wednesday, my aunt said dissatisfiedly to Lin Lan: "Sister, look what's wrong with these fungus in my house. I picked out all the red oranges."

Lin Lan glanced at her indifferently, and pointed to the dried mushrooms in the basket: "Ma'am, as long as you pick one out of the basket, I'll take all of them."

The member behind said: "We have all seen it. The tangerines picked out are not dried well. Hurry up and don't delay our sales."

On Wednesday, Auntie Duck said stubbornly: "If I knew you were so picky, we wouldn't come to sell it."

Lin Lan didn't bother to talk to her for a few minutes, and was busy checking the dry goods below.

After a busy morning, after Lin Lan settled the accounts, she found that old pumpkins, dried peppercorns and dried mushrooms received the most.

Every household has [-] to [-] catties of dried fungus. Almost all the dozens of households from the Shishanling Brigade have come. They have collected hundreds of catties of black fungus and dried Zanthoxylum bungeanum, as well as grass bandits and grass fruits.

Fortunately, dried mushrooms and peppers are not worth much these days. Fortunately, Li Xiangyang also brought some money, otherwise he would not have paid them that much.

After finishing her work, Xu Hongju told Wu Shufang about Zhou Qiaoyan's peeking at Li Xiangyang: "Mother, Qiaoyan's face turned red when I saw it."

Wu Shufang curled her lips: "Since the third child left, the youngest family has become more and more out of tune. Thanks to her family's Qiaoyan's good looks, she picks and chooses, and this girl has a big heart, and something will happen sooner or later."

Xu Hongju nodded: "I think Qiaoyan is restless. Fortunately, my cousin and the others are leaving tomorrow."

Wu Shufang snorted coldly: "So what if you don't leave, Zhou Qiaoyan still wants to compare with Xiaolan!"

Xu Hongju glanced at Lin Lan who was talking to Li Xiangyang, and said with a smile, "That's right!"
