After the separation, my wardrobe is modern

Chapter 6 This Little Mouth Is Sweet

Yesterday outside the supermarket, I saw a lot of mushrooms sold on carts or in baskets, costing more than ten to twenty yuan per catty.Some brothers and sisters don't know each other, but most of them used to eat.

At this time, the mushrooms on the mountain are growing the best, and they can pick hundreds of catties in less than half a day, and then send them there for sale. First, buy two sets of clothes, and then buy more white rice and flour. This winter will be easy.

While picking mushrooms, the siblings walked towards the place where Lin Erhu saw the stick last time.

"Sister, it's over there. I heard from my father that you can't cut off the whiskers when digging a mallet. Let's be more careful later."

"I know, I brought a shovel, and I will dig up all the surrounding soil later, and then do it little by little."

The stick that Lin Erhu mentioned grew on a shady hillside, with tall trees and weeds growing beside it, so it was really hard to spot without looking carefully.

It's just that when the siblings arrived, what they saw was a piece of soil that had just been turned over. From the traces, it could be seen that it had not been dug for a long time.

Lin Erhu was annoyed, "If I had known that someone would have taken the lead, I should have come and dug earlier."

Lin Xiaoman was also a little disappointed, but he still comforted him: "If someone digs it up, it shouldn't belong to our family. Picking these mushrooms today can also exchange a lot of money. If you work harder before the cold weather, you can always save money." Enough food for next year."

Lin Erhu still sighed, Lin Xiaoman had no choice but to say: "You dug it a long time ago, and grandma will take it for money, so it's better to make it cheaper for others."

"That's true! Alas!" Although he sighed again, it was obvious that Lin Erhu was not so depressed.

I searched around carefully, and finally found a not too big mallet in the grass under a tree.

The siblings dug it out carefully, put a piece of moss on the ground, wrapped it with several layers of leaves, tied it with straw rope a few times, and stuffed it under the big basket.

I went around the mountain again, and besides two large baskets of mushrooms, I also picked a lot of wild fruits. When I got home, I cut a few knives on the peels, and hung them in strings under the eaves. Put sugar and steam it.

When my mother was there, she cooked delicious food in different ways every day. The siblings had eaten a lot of good food, so they naturally knew how to eat better than the villagers.

After returning home, I drank a ladle of water, and poured out today's harvest for sorting.

Put wild fruits into baskets and put them in the stove. Mushrooms are divided into two large, two small, and four baskets according to different types, and those with insects or fistulas are picked out.

Lin Xiaoman is very strong, and she is carrying two large baskets filled with hazel mushrooms.

Lin Erhu was weak, so he carried two small baskets, one with pine mushrooms, and the other with half a basket of Hericium erinaceus and three ganoderma lucidum.

Xu Shi came late, there were more people on the street than yesterday, and the siblings were stopped before they reached the supermarket where they did their shopping yesterday.

A plump woman in an elegant long dress asked, "Son, do you sell these mushrooms?"

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu nodded hurriedly, Lin Xiaoman said: "It's for sale, does Auntie want to buy mushrooms?"

The woman who was called auntie smiled, "Oh, you have such a sweet mouth. Anyone in my [-]s can be your grandma, but I don't want to be called auntie. My surname is Liu, so you can call me Grandma Liu."

Lin Xiaoman looked at Grandma Liu's fair face in surprise, almost no creases could be seen on it.

Then think about Mrs. Lin, who has just turned fifty, with dimples on her face.Comparing them together, she would believe that she was twenty years older than Grandma Liu.

"Grandma Liu, you are so young, what do you wear on weekdays?"

Grandma Liu was amused by Lin Xiaoman, "I didn't put on anything. I didn't like makeup when I was young. I just put on some nourishing cream on weekdays. It's a dozen or 20 yuan. The main thing is the mentality." Well, you should also pay attention to sun protection, once a woman gets too much sun, her skin will deteriorate and she will age quickly.”

Lin Xiaoman nodded hurriedly. The women in their country would go to the fields to do farm work. Once the sun shines, don't they look older than the women in the city?
In the future, she will go to work in the field again, but she must cover her tightly.

While talking, Grandma Liu greeted her siblings, "It's very heavy, don't stand here chattering, let's go to the side and look at the mushrooms."

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu followed with baskets on their shoulders, put the baskets on the ground, and Grandma Liu began to look through several baskets.

"Your mushrooms are really good. There are no bugs. How much does it cost per catty? If it's cheap, I'll buy more."

Lin Xiaoman remembered seeing hazel mushrooms sold at 25 catties and pine mushrooms at [-] catties yesterday, which were not as good as what they brought.

Hericium erinaceus has never been sold before, but they are quite expensive there, and it should not be cheap here.

But their siblings don't have scales!
Lin Xiaoman pointed to a few baskets and said, "Grandma Liu, we don't have a scale, so let's sell them by basket. One big basket of hazel mushrooms weighs more than 30 catties. I sell Grandma Liu for four hundred and fifty catties, and two baskets for nine hundred. The pine mushrooms are about five catties, and Grandma Liu will give me a hundred. Hericium and Ganoderma lucidum are also picked from the mountains, and I don’t know how to sell them, so Grandma Liu will give them to me.”

The corners of Grandma Liu's mouth twitched. Is this going to make her round?
Look at the two big baskets of hazel mushrooms, the baskets are very big, and there are only a lot more mushrooms than the little girl said.

The price is indeed cheap, but she just wants to buy some to go home and wait for tomorrow weekend, when her son's family comes back to eat stewed chicken, at most she can buy more than a dozen catties of dried goods, how can she buy so much?

But these two children looked like little pitiful children. Under their earnest eyes, they said that they should not buy it, and they felt very sorry.

Gritting her teeth, Grandma Liu said, "Okay, you come home with me, my house is in the neighborhood in front. Hey, I'll take this basket. Seeing how young you are, how can you carry such a heavy basket? Your father Why don't you worry about you coming out?"

As she said that, Grandma Liu lifted up a large basket containing hazel mushrooms, which was so heavy that she almost lost her waist.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoman is not as high as her shoulders, and she is so thin and small, I don’t know if she is 14 years old, but she can carry two baskets without any effort and walk for an unknown distance, and I feel more distressed for these two children.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu didn't know that Grandma Liu thought of them as poor little ones, so they happily followed Grandma Liu to the neighborhood she pointed out.

On the way, Grandma Liu took out the cube that everyone had here, pressed it a few times and put it to her ear, and after a while, she heard a voice from there, Grandma Liu said: "Old Zhang, do you buy mushrooms at home? I'm in I met two kids selling mushrooms here. The mushrooms look really good, but there are too many of them. My family can’t finish them. If you buy them, let’s split them up?... All right, see you downstairs in the community... Hmm, there are quite a lot, you see who else wants to buy, greet a few more people, and bring your own bags, I don’t think these two children have plastic bags.”

"Hey, Old Xu, my side... yes, I remember you have a scale at home, right? Let me borrow it."

Before going far, Grandma Liu had already contacted several people, put away the cubes, and smiled on her face, "It's done, grandma has greeted many people, and you won't worry about selling these mushrooms later."
