Chapter 87 Unexpected Gain

Ye had some grudges in his heart. In addition, the weather was hot day by day, and his body was not good, so he became more and more lazy to appear in the old house. It was also invisible. If there was anything, he sent Xu Laosan or his child to answer. Fortunately, Mrs. Xu couldn't care about this side and was not picky.

The matter of mutton soup is over. Although Mrs. Xu didn't say anything, she only told Li to be more careful not to eat indiscriminately in the future, but only she knew if she had any other ideas in her mind.

Xu Xinger is busy selling dried radishes in the city every day, and she rarely pays much attention to the old house. As long as they don't provoke her, she is happy to live her own life and save money as soon as possible.

July is the hottest time of the year, so since July, Xu Xinger has been more worried about whether the dried radish will deteriorate because it is too hot. Although it has always been kept in a cool place, she will open the jar and turn it up and down to check before going out every day. Even if it is thrown away and not sold, it can't damage its reputation soon after the beginning.

The dried radish business is gradually on the right track. It can sell about one and a half jar every day, with a net profit of more than 300 yuan. After the initial excitement period, Xu Xinger gradually began to feel that this job was slow and took up time, and began to think about whether she could change the form of selling.

Although she thinks so, she still can't get rid of it for a while. Not to mention that this small-profit business can't hire people to sell goods. Besides, now she has no other way to make money. Even if she gets out, she has nothing to do for the time being. Most importantly, the money used at home is getting tighter and tighter, and the money in Xu Laosan's hand It is only enough to take the medicine for Ye four or five times, and it will be broken after taking it for half a month at most.

At this time, people are inseparable from the crops, and Xu Laosan can't go out to work. Xu Xinger has to think about it herself.

At dawn the next day, Xu Xinger got up, got up gently, put on her clothes and went out. There was a faint morning light in the sky, and she could barely see what was at her feet. She quietly pushed the door out and walked towards the foot of the mountain with a basket on her back. Because of the limited time, she planned to only turn around nearby. The herbs were probably picked. No, but you should be able to pick some mountain vegetables and pick up firewood by the way.

In the morning, the vegetation was covered with dewdrops. Because it rained not long ago, the forest was more humid. Not far away, the shoes and socks had been wet and softly lay on the skin, which made people very uncomfortable.

Xu Xinger tried to ignore the feelings under her feet and continued to walk towards the mountain. In summer, the vegetation grew wildly, especially the dwarf shrubs. She often had to raise her hand to push away some branches, and her sleeves gradually became wet.

There were few wild vegetables in summer. All the way, she only picked up some branches and looked up to see that the sky was getting brighter. It seemed that there would be no harvest today. She thought so hesitantly that she was still unwilling to walk another way inside, but there was still nothing.

Xu Xinger raised her hand to wipe her sweat disappointedly and turned to prepare to go home. However, the corner of her eyes seemed to catch a glimpse of yellow, which looked particularly eye-catching in the forest wrapped in deep light green.

She raised her hand to separate the bushes by the roadside, walked dozens of steps forward with difficulty, and got out of the bushes awkwardly. In front of her was a low-lying open space, which looked wet and muddy because of some rain.

Xu Xinger half opened her mouth and looked forward. In the middle of the wetland lay a decayed elm tree. The tree was full of fresh elm yellow mushrooms. In this way, she stretched herself on the muddy and rotten wood, with large areas of tender yellow, such as curly auspicious clouds hanging in the air. It seems that even the surrounding space has been illuminated.

"Sure enough, the early bird is eaten by insects..." Xu Xinger couldn't help muttering, and then woke up from her in a daze. She didn't care that the depression was full of mud. She strode to the side of the fallen wood, put down the back basket, took out her personal knife, carefully cut off the large clump of mushrooms, and gently put them into the back basket.

The back basket was quickly filled, but only half of the mushrooms were picked. Xu Xinger took off her coat and covered it on the back basket. She quickly walked down the mountain. When she got home, she didn't care about emptying the back basket. She grabbed the big basket that Xu Laosan usually used, and quickly ran to the mountain.

She kept running to the place where the mushrooms had just been found, and put all the remaining mushrooms into the back basket. Then she was relieved. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her face, looked at the basket full of mushrooms, and smiled with satisfaction.

Xu Xinger was still too small, and it was a little difficult to carry the big basket. She half bowed her body and laboriously carried the mushrooms home. She bumped into Xu Laosan garg his mouth in the yard.

"Xing'er?" Xu Laosan went to work every morning and was the first to get up at home. He suddenly saw his daughter coming back from outside with a basket on her back and asked in surprise, "What did you do so early?"

Xu Xinger put down her back basket, smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a seam, and said, "Dad, what do you think this is!"

Xu Laosan narrowed his eyes and looked at it. It turned out to be a basket full of elm yellow mushrooms. "Have you just picked it back?"

"Yes, I couldn't sleep this morning. I had nothing to do at home, so I walked up the mountain. I didn't expect to see a fallen tree slowly growing mushrooms. I had picked a basket and came back before." Xu Xinger raised her hand to uncover the clothes on the other basket and said happily, "I don't know how much so many fresh elm mushrooms can be sold in the city?"

Xu Laosan weighed in his heart, touched his chin and said, "Such a fresh mushroom is a whole flower. Why can't it be five penny per catty?" With that, he reached out and weighed the back basket, "This basket is almost 40 catties, and the small basket also needs to be more than 20 catties."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Xinger and said, "When did you get up and came back with so many mushrooms? It's hard for you to carry such a large basket back.

Xu Xinger stuck out her tongue at him and made a grimace and said, "I saw so many mushrooms at that time. How could I get anything to get tired or not? I ran back and forth to send them home for fear of being robbed by others."

Xu Laosan moved the mushrooms to a cool place and thought for a moment, "I'll go to work first. I'll drive you two to the city and sell the mushrooms by the way."

Xu Xing'er answered and heard the humming of the lock in the room. She waved her hand to Xu Laosan, quickly entered the room and changed her clothes, peed the lock and chestnuts, put on a clean mattress, and stuffed them back into the car. Seeing the two small ones turning over and sleeping again, she turned out and washed them in the yard. Wash your hands and prepare for breakfast.

After steaming the cake, Ye also got up and came out of the house to help. He even blamed himself, "I don't know what's going on today. I'm lost. Your father didn't know how to call me, but let you work inside and outside early in the morning."

Xu Xinger put away the panel and said with a smile, "Who doesn't do it? It's not a heavy job."

Seeing that he couldn't get his hands in here, Ye went to another stove pit, set up a small pile of fire, cooked the two small pastes, looked at the sky outside and said, "You'd better take an umbrella when you go into the city. Don't try to be brisk. In June and July, it may rain at any time. Be careful when you come back with a drenched chicken and get sick."

"My father drove us to the city today." Xu Xinger saw that the edge of the pot began to breathe, soaked two pieces of clean cloth on it and put it on top, squatting down to lower the fire.

"What did he do in the city?" Ye asked without looking back.

"I picked some mushrooms in the morning, and my father said we would take them to the city to sell them." Xu Xinger took out a piece of pickles from the jar in the corner of the room, washed the soup on the surface with water, and shred it firmly on the chopping board.

"Mushroom?" Ye turned his head and looked at his daughter, "Did you go out early in the morning?"

"Oh, I woke up early and went out for a walk, but I happened to see the mushrooms on the fallen wood." Xu Xinger said this without delay. He cut the pickles evenly into shreds and put them on the plate, dripped a drop of sesame oil, mixed them with chopsticks and mixed aside.

"I told you a long time ago that July is a ghost moon. There are a lot of messy things outside. You have to get out of the sun to go out. Come back quickly before sunset. Why is your child disobedient!" Ye couldn't help saying annoy.

"Mom, it's okay. I won't go out until dawn. Don't worry." Xu Xinger answered carelessly, and then changed the topic, "Have you finished cooking? I boiled some rice left last night, and I will drink it directly when it's hot." With that, he handed over a basin with a lid.

Ye took the basin, lifted the lid and smelled it carefully, and confirmed that it didn't go bad before pouring it into the pot. "I'm most afraid that things will be broken on hot days. If you eat bad, it's not a joke. Recently, I'd rather cook less, and don't leave any left."

After breakfast, the cooked paste was just warm. Xu Xinger entered the house to wake up Taoer first, and then fed the two little ones to eat.

Lizi still maintained her eating and sleeping style. She ate very sweetly. Finally, she burped her face, narrowed her eyes to show her satisfaction, and then spit bubbles at Xu Xinger.

Lock eats less than chestnuts. In addition to being occasionally distracted by other sounds, it is relatively easy to feed.

At the end, there were two mouthfuls of paste left in the bowl. Xu Xinger scraped it into the spoon, scraped the wall of the bowl clean, and waved Taoer over and said, "Eat it, so as not to waste it."

Taoer swallowed the paste in one bite, immediately frowned, and said vaguely, "It's not delicious. It doesn't taste at all."

"Ok, these are all fine rice, and you are still picky and thin." Xu Xinger slapped her on the buttocks, "Hurry up and wash your face and hands, clean up the table and get ready to eat."

Tao'er trotted out, and soon her happy shout came from the yard: "Sister, so many mushrooms? Where did it come from? Shall we eat mushrooms today?
