Chapter 14 Selling Mushrooms

Li Yan couldn't help laughing, but she was afraid that she would be impatient, so she quickly explained: "It's not that I won't give it to you, I just want to share the money with the two of us."

"Really?" The little head immediately lifted up.

"Yeah." Li Yan nodded heavily as if she was afraid she wouldn't believe it, and said, "We'll leave home at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and we'll go and ask about the three restaurants in the town."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After finalizing the plan for tomorrow morning, the two continued to dig the roots of medicinal herbs.It wasn't until their respective baskets were full that they called it a day and went home.

Wu Zhilan was pleasantly surprised when she saw the Hericium erinaceus on her small basket: "I haven't seen this Hericium erinaceus for several years, you girl is pretty good, you picked two pieces in one go. I weighed it So it can add up to a catty and a half, and it can be three to four taels after drying."

Freshly picked mushrooms are not easy to preserve, and they are much easier to store after drying.Elderly people have a little bit of storage habits. They usually don't want to eat fresh food directly. The first thought is how to store it for a long time.This is also the root cause of the two years of famine, and it is very difficult to change it for a while.

Li Yan didn't avoid her, and directly expressed her idea of ​​selling mushrooms to restaurants.

Wu Zhilan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "That's right, such a small amount of food can only be eaten by one person, so it's better to sell it for some money." Then she took the mushrooms into the house and put them When I got to the back window sill, I put it on and said: "Don't let your grandfather and father see it here. If they know, they will definitely cook and eat it. It's quite old and expensive. It's a pity to eat it."

Knowing that she would agree with Wu Zhilan, Li Yan poured the Maoguduo flower roots in the small basket on the steps in front of the house, "Grandma, when the sun comes out tomorrow, you can dry it for me, and when you sell it, you will share it with me." Ha."

Wu Zhilan turned her lips away: "How much is that little thing worth?" She didn't take it seriously, but her granddaughter still felt very happy that she could say that.

Li Yan didn't explain much, went into the room and washed her hands, went to see her mother and sister, and then went back to the east room and sat down to eat.

At around 08:30 in the evening, Li Wuchang came back carrying a badger weighing more than 20 kilograms.As soon as he entered the door, he yelled that he was hungry, and asked Wu Zhilan to get something to eat quickly.

Wu Zhilan knew that he had traveled an unknown distance, and he was carrying things on his back. He must be tired and hungry, so she didn't dare to delay at all to get down to the ground to warm up meals.

Li Yan squatted on the ground and looked at this badger. It was a mixture of black brown and white guard hairs, thick and fat, with four hard black claws and stubby hair.

Badgers are full of treasures, and their fur can be made into high-end fur clothing.The meat is delicious and nutritious, and it is a delicacy at a banquet.Badger seed oil can be an effective remedy for scalds and burns.

Li Yan deliberately pretended not to know and asked Li Wuchang: "Master, what is this, it looks quite fierce?"

"Well, this is badger. The meat is delicious when stewed. Badger oil can also cure diseases. If anyone has hemorrhoids, put some on it and roast it a few times."

"Master, you haven't talked about skins yet, skins can be sold for money."

Li Wuchang was in a good mood, he laughed: "Oh, yes, there are leathers."

At this time, Wu Zhilan brought up all the hot meals, and Li Wuchang picked up his chopsticks and ate while saying, "Today I found a nest of badgers in Luquangou. Dazhong called his sister and brother-in-law together to go up the mountain to pick badgers."

When Wu Zhilan heard this, she became more energetic: "How many can there be in that nest?" She also knew that badgers live together in one litter, and usually there will be more in one nest.

Li Wuchang said: "There should be at least three more, and it is impossible to say that there are more." Badgers can have three or four cubs at a time, and it is not uncommon for a litter to have five or six cubs.

"Yo, if you really pick it up, you may make a small fortune."

Li Wuchang paused when he thought of something, and said: "Remember to ask Dazhong to bring the crowbar tomorrow, don't forget."

Wu Zhilan was still laughing just now, but now she pulled her face down: "What about Dazhong, he hasn't come back yet, just look at it, it's 09:30, and I don't know where he went , stay away from home all day, just like your stinky father."

Li Wuchang chewed his food, raised his eyebrows lightly and said: "He is my son, not like me? Let me tell you, don't worry about it too much. Now he can do it and he will get angry when he grows up. Last night you didn't See, the money can be burned, and if you are in a hurry, you can set the house on fire."

Wu Zhilan sighed, and said helplessly, "Who do you think he looks like with a violent temper, and neither of us?"

"Who else can I look like? In my opinion, he looks like his uncle. Isn't your elder brother just such a bear? Both wives were beaten away by him. Dazhong is much stronger than him. "

"How strong is it? To Yufeng, she would have scolded and beaten as soon as she said it. Fortunately, she was able to endure it because she had a big belly. If it was someone else, she would have run away."

"Sometimes you can't blame Dazhong completely. She doesn't give in to her mouth, and she just seeks to beat her."

"You." Wu Zhilan was about to defend Cui Yufeng when she was interrupted.

"Grandma, you don't need to talk about it." Li Yan stood up from the ground, looked at Li Wuchang, and said with a cold face: "Master, the two of them will figure out about my father and mother by themselves, and we can't talk about who is right and who is wrong , don’t talk about it in the future, it’s useless.”

"Hey, you have taught me a lesson with this little joke." Li Wuchang casually smacked her head with the tip of his chopsticks.

Li Yan's scalp was hot and painful, she turned around and went into the hut without saying a word, took out a pencil sharpener from her schoolbag, went back to the east room and slashed at the badger on the ground in front of Li Wuchang.

Li Wuchang was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, jumped off the ground with bare feet, and shouted distressedly: "Oh, my skin." Li Yan's knife did not cause too much wound, after all, she was small The strength is weak, and it barely cuts through the skin.However, the quality of the leather is greatly discounted. Even the best leather with a sharp edge has to be downgraded. It is completely impossible to sell it at a good price.

"You stupid girl, let's see if I don't beat you to death."

"You hit you?" Li Yan moved her small face forward, but it shocked Li Wuchang. "Master, if you hit me, I'll tear the two rabbit skins in your barn."

"Oh, if you dare to challenge the elders, it's a lesson to be taken lightly." Wu Zhilan's fingers were as hard as a stick, and she hit her head twice, which happened to land on the place where the chopsticks were pulled just now.

Li Yan shed tears from the pain at that time, crying and saying: "Okay, you bullied my mother and beat me together. When I grow up, I will put you all in baskets and send them to the mountains. I won't support you. "The story of an unfilial son throwing away an old man was told by Wu Zhilan to teach her to be filial, and the purpose of bringing it up now is obvious.
