After selling myself, I became the head of the family

Chapter 11 Selling Fungi
  There were far fewer people setting up stalls in the market, but there were indeed some people standing there who were specifically selling mushrooms.

Most of what they picked up were miscellaneous mushrooms, and only two of them had fresh gallbladder mushrooms in their baskets.

At this time, many people came here specifically to buy mushrooms.

As soon as they entered the market, everyone consciously held their baskets and stood apart. This was their tacit understanding.

Although everyone sells this, the mushrooms that can be picked up are of different qualities. Everyone sells his own, which can also avoid any resentment if someone sells it too expensive or too cheap.

When Yang Lihua and the others lifted the cloth covering the basket back and put it on the ground, those people came over one after another.

Their fungi grew well, especially the gallinopsis fungus picked up by Feng Shuzhen, which was of the highest quality.

The unique aroma of the gallinobacteria hit the nostrils and aroused the greed in those people.

"These fungi are great. Did you just pick them today?"

Some people who loved this bite came closer to the basket and smelled it, with surprise on their faces.

Although most of the gallinopsis mushrooms are born in one litter, in order to sell more at one time, someone will keep them for two days and then bring them again.

The chicken fir is best eaten when it is at its freshest!

Especially when used to add chicken soup, not to mention how delicious it is!

"We picked them up from the mountain this morning! Brother, look at how much we have to buy!"

Yang Lihua is the most familiar and greets people cheerfully.

Feng Shuzhen just watched silently, observing how she negotiated the price with the buyer.

"I'm definitely willing to take this newbie like you." Liang Zheng said with a smile.

His favorite thing to eat is mushrooms, especially this fungus. It's a pity that he hasn't eaten such fresh ones this year. It would be better if there were bones.

Crunchy and smooth, it makes people drool just thinking about it.

As if she had read through his thoughts, Yang Lihua smiled and lifted up the last bit of cloth, revealing the small bones underneath.

"Brother, look, the fungi we have this time are of the best quality. If you buy them back and make chicken soup, it will taste absolutely delicious."

"How do you sell these chicken conongs?" The moment Yang Lihua lifted the cloth, Liang Zheng's eyes were already shining.

Who cares about anything else.

"These bones cost forty-four cents per catty, and the open umbrella costs thirty-seven cents per catty. What do you think?"

"This……"

Although he wanted to eat it, the price was indeed a bit high, and Liang Zheng couldn't help but hesitate.

Aunt Zhang and Feng Shuzhen on the side were both a little surprised.

Didn't they say they were selling forty-two and thirty-five on the way here?
  Why is it suddenly two cents more expensive?

Although they were confused, how could they talk too much now when someone was selling mushrooms for them?

"Brother, you have to take a closer look. Our mushrooms are not only fresh, but they are also of the highest quality. The price of the mushrooms this year is higher than last year, so the price is not expensive."

Seeing his hesitation, Yang Lihua knew it was time to add fire and continued.

"Okay, okay, but your price is indeed a bit expensive." Liang Zheng's eyes were filled with confusion.

He definitely wanted to buy these chicken firs, but the price was really a bit expensive.

"Then..." Yang Lihua pretended to hesitate. After a pause, she asked again: "Brother, how much can you buy? If you buy more, we will give you a cheaper price."

As soon as he heard that there was a bargain, Liang Zheng began to look at the fungi on the basket.

There are five rooster firs in their baskets with open umbrellas, and a total of thirteen rooster firs.

Calculated, it should be a little over three kilograms. If you buy it all at once, you can eat it yourself.

"If I want all the chicken conongs, what price can you give me?"

"If you can get all the chicken figs, the open umbrella will cost thirty-five cents per catty, and the unopened ones will cost forty-two cents per catty. Brother, do you think it's okay?" Liang Zheng thought about it for a moment, Seeing someone coming next to him, he simply nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you guys can weigh them all, I'll take them all."

She didn't expect it to be sold so quickly. Feng Shuzhen was stunned. She didn't even react when Yang Lihua asked her to borrow a scale.

In the end, Su Qing saw that her mother-in-law didn't respond, so she ran to the stall next to her and borrowed a scale.

Only when the heavy ninety-five cents fell into her hand did she come back to her senses.

Liang Zheng had already left, and even Aunt Zhang was lost in thought looking at the fifteen copper coins lying in her hand.

She only picked up a chicken fir today, but she didn't expect that it could be sold for fifteen cents.

"Now there's just over a pound of miscellaneous fungi left. Once they're all sold, we'll just take a walk around town."

Yang Lihua was sold for more than fifty cents, and she felt very happy.

I'm just waiting to sell the last bit of miscellaneous bacteria so I can go shopping around and buy some things to take home.

The mixed mushrooms were not as popular as the chicken conongs, and they had to wait for about two-quarters of an hour before they were sold out.

The price of miscellaneous fungi is fifteen cents per catty, and the total number of poplar pear flowers picked is one catty and fifty taels, and the customer only received twenty-two cents.

After all the fungi were sold out, everyone was very happy. After saying hello to those who had not yet sold out, Yang Lihua took Feng Shuzhen and Aunt Zhang straight to the grain store.

There are many children at home, so every time she sells mushrooms, she has to spend more than half of her money to buy food, otherwise there will never be enough food at home.

It happened that Feng Shuzhen was also looking forward to buying some food to go home, so a group of three people and two little children stood at the door of the food store.

New rice costs five cents per catty, old rice costs only three cents, white flour costs six cents per catty, and black flour costs two cents.

In the end, Feng Shuzhen simply bought twenty kilograms of old rice and ten kilograms of black noodles. Salt was more expensive now, costing ten cents a jar. After hesitating for a long time, she bought a jar of salt.

The ninety-five cents that I just received were now worth ninety cents.

In the end, there were only five copper coins left. Feng Shuzhen did not dare to use them anymore, so she kept them carefully.

This food is enough for the family to eat for a month, and the fungus will grow for more than a month. As long as she runs more diligently these days and sells more money to make enough money for two months, she can come to the town and ask if there is any work. You can do it yourself.

Then the family will not be unable to afford food.

The clerks at the grain store packed the groceries for them one by one, and another person gave them a small bag of vegetable seeds.

After putting the food into their backpacks, the group of people wandered toward the market.

I just asked other people, they didn't go shopping after selling the mushrooms, and they just happened to go back to the village together.

Just halfway through, Su Qing heard an ouch. The little girl stepped on something and lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"Qingqing, what's wrong?"

Hearing her daughter's cry, Feng Shuzhen hurriedly turned around with the basket on her back and saw her daughter sitting on the ground, holding something unknown in her hand.

Su Jing pulled her sister up, patted the mud on her butt tenderly, and then said to Feng Shuzhen.

"My sister just stepped on something and accidentally fell."

"Are you okay? Does it hurt from the fall?"

Aunt Zhang didn't buy anything, so she quickly went over to check that Su Qing was not injured, and frowned at the things in her hand.

"Qingqing, did you step on this thing just now?"

"Uh-huh."

The little girl revealed the gray purse in her hand and curled her lips.

Her butt hurt from the fall just now!
