After the tragic death of his daughter, the honest father of the age awakened

Chapter 33 Making Money and Eating Meat
As soon as Xu Qingmu and his wife got home, they hurriedly closed the door and put on smiling faces.

Seeing this, Xu Shuxin and the sisters knew that the business of selling mushrooms was over.

"Father, how much did you sell for?" Xu Shuyan asked impatiently.

Xu Shuxin thoughtfully brought cold boiled water to her parents with her elder sister.

"Father and mother, please drink water first." Xu Shuxin said.

"Thank you Yueyue and Xinxin."

Xu Qingmu took the bowl and poured it into his mouth.

He walked all the way, but he was dying of thirst.

The same was true for Cui Lanhua, she finished drinking a bowl, and handed the bowl to Xu Shuyue, "Boss, help my mother pour another bowl."

Xu Shuyue took the bowl and asked her father, "Father, do you want more?"

Xu Qingmu waved his hand, "No need."

Xu Shuyue went to pour water.

Xu Qingmu was sitting under the eaves of the main room, and he was not in a hurry to speak.

After the eldest daughter came back from pouring water, she began to talk about the mushroom sale from the beginning.

"Didn't you sisters and I save someone on the day we came back? I thought that since we've all gone to the commune, I might as well go and see him. Your Grandpa Zhao is still lying in the hospital, and a family member of a patient in the same ward saw him. Our fungi were good, so we bought them all, and the price we paid was higher than that at the supply and marketing cooperative."

Cui Lanhua nodded, "Your father left some fungus for Grandpa Zhao, and sold the rest to that person, and your Grandpa Zhao also helped to negotiate the price. In the end, it was [-] cents a catty. I heard that the price on the black market can reach [-] cents. Even six cents, but the black market is dangerous, your grandpa Zhao told us not to go."

Xu Shuxin nodded, "We don't need to take risks."

Although their family's life is not easy now, it is not worth the risk.

But it would be great if you know someone who specializes in the black market, so that you don't have to take risks in the black market yourself, and you can sell good things to the other party if you have good things in your hand.

Although the price will be lower than selling on the black market, it is safe.

Xu Shuxin speculated that the person who bought all the collybia spp. may have been on the black market, and even if he wasn't on the black market, what he did must have something to do with speculation.

Otherwise, who would buy so many fungi at once?

Sure enough, her father said in the next second, "The man secretly told me that if I find new things in the future, I can give them to him, and he will take them all."

"Then dad, after you get off work, take us up the mountain and bring Xinxin with you, we will definitely find something good!" Xu Shuyan answered immediately.

Xu Shuxin nodded accordingly.

There are many good things in the mountains, and their house is close to the mountains. Wouldn't it be stupid not to take advantage of such good conditions?

Xu Qingmu was also moved, but he was still worried about the danger in the mountains.

There may be few tigers, but there are wild boars and poisonous snakes. In the past, every autumn, wild boars would go down the mountain and harm the crops.

That is to say, in recent years, the militiamen of the brigade organized hunting, and there were fewer wild boars going down the mountain.

"Father, let's not go into the mountains, just look outside. Aren't there many people in the brigade looking for mushrooms and chopping firewood?" Xu Shuxin persuaded him.

Xu Shuyan also nodded madly, "That's right, Dad, as long as you don't go into the deep mountains, it's really not that dangerous."

Seeing that all the girls wanted to go, he had no choice but to agree.

But even if you agree, you won't be able to go right away.

Xu Qingmu took out all the money from selling the fungus and asked his daughters to count.

There are seven sisters, one for you and one for me, and the final count is a full four yuan.

"Those mushrooms weigh ten catties?" Xu Shuxin asked.

Xu Qingmu replied, "After leaving some for Grandpa Zhao, it was almost ten catties, and the other party gave up some."

After counting the money, Xu Shuxin and the others became more eager to go to the mountains to find good things.

But it's useless to be eager, because they still have to go to work.

Only when they go to work can they have food to eat, so it is impossible not to go to work.

Because there is meat to eat at night, whether it is Xu Shuyue and Xu Qingmu or his wife, they are particularly motivated to work.

Seeing Xu Shuyue and Xu Shuyue, who were working together, the people who were farming next to him couldn't help but say to Cui Lanhua: "Now that you are separated, the children can have enough to eat, and you can work really quickly."

Cui Lanhua didn't know how to answer after hearing this.

If it is true, wouldn't it mean that the parents-in-law abused her child when the family was not separated?

Although it is true, if this word reaches the ears of the people in the old house, it will be another dispute.

Cui Lanhua is very satisfied with the peaceful life now, and she doesn't want to provoke the people over there.

So she just smiled and didn't speak.

The man obviously knew what kind of temperament Cui Lanhua was, and he didn't expect her to answer. After saying this, he went to talk to others.

Farm work is hard work. If you only know how to work hard and don't find something to divert your energy from, you will feel even more tired.

So the man couldn't stop talking, and started babbling with others.

At night, the smell of meat came from Xu Qingmu's house.

Fortunately, their family lived on the edge of the village, far away from other houses. Cui Lanhua specially closed the doors and windows of the kitchen when she was stewing rabbits, and the smell did not spread much.

The rabbit was skinned and cut into small pieces.

Cui Lanhua's cooking skills are not very good, she just put salt to marinate for a while, and then add water to stew.

She didn't even put in the oil, because there was only a little oil in the house, and it was given by the third grandma, so she couldn't bear to let it go.

There is still no iron pot at home, and it is still the earthen pot. After the rabbit meat is stewed, Cui Lanhua directly adds wild vegetables to it.

The third grandmother's house had a small table with a broken leg, Xu Qingmu took it over and repaired it, and it became their family's dining table.

It's just that the stools haven't been made yet, and the family can only stand around the dining table to eat.

When the food was put on the table, Xu Shuxin's eyes lit up.

After Xu Qingmu said it was ready to start, and picked up a piece of meat by himself, the sisters grabbed the rabbit meat one after another.

When Xu Shuyu's meat reached his mouth, he was reluctant to eat it, but took a deep breath, "It's so delicious!"

Xu Shuyue said to her, "Are you satisfied just by smelling it? If you don't eat it quickly, we will finish eating the meat in a while, and you will have nothing to eat."

That's what she said, but she didn't grab the meat, and she didn't push the meat into her bowl.

Not only Xu Shuyue, but also the following ones did not appear to grab food.

A hare weighed no more than three catties after skinning and viscera removal, and when it was cut into small pieces, no one got much meat.

But the sisters took the initiative to pick up wild vegetables besides the rabbit meat in the first chopsticks.

Because it is cooked with meat, wild vegetables that are usually difficult to eat become delicious.

Seeing the sensible appearance of the daughters, Xu Qingmu was very pleased.

He said: "Let's eat all of them. If there is any meat or fish in the future, let's stay and eat."

Xu Shuyu was the first to refuse, "That won't work, let's sell it for money."

The sisters Xu Shuxin ate this meal very satisfyingly.

Especially Xu Shuyu, if the bones were not edible, she would have swallowed them.

She sighed, "It would be great if I could eat meat every day in the future!"
