020 Discovery of Yam
There were still a lot of people selling mushrooms at noon. Fortunately, Gu Qing had already prepared. All he received were copper coins. He cleared all the accounts left yesterday and collected the mushrooms from the villagers. Not a single copper coin was left that he had just warmed up in the morning.
.
Gu Qing was not only heartbroken, but also very happy.
But I also greeted the villagers present in advance and told me that the mushroom money for the evening would not be paid until noon the next day.
Many villagers had seen the carriage that received the goods in the morning, and seeing that Gu Qing settled the bill so quickly today, they all felt relieved and said they could wait.
At noon, three chickens were killed and a big pot was stewed. Mushrooms were not valuable before, but now almost every household is eating mushrooms. Now they are valuable. Gu Qing wanted to stew the hens with mushrooms, but the five of them disagreed.
The mushrooms picked today at the old house were also sold for a lot of copper coins. At noon, the eldest daughter of the second room, Gu Tao, sent over a lot of fresh fungus. It turned out that they were picked during the mushroom picking in the morning.
The fungus that was delivered was cooked together with the chicken.
The room was filled with fragrance, and several people ate very deliciously, especially Gu Nuo, who had a big chicken drumstick in his left hand and a small drumstick in his right hand, and his mouth was full of oil.
The appetite of everyone at noon once again refreshed Gu Qing's understanding of how many people there were. There was a pot full of chicken, a pot full of white rice, and the two big iron pots were completely eaten.
Gu Qing once thought that they were possessed by evil spirits.
After lunch, Gu Qing followed the others up the mountain, and the group walked deep into the mountain. No one came here a few days ago, but today, when they came up, all the mushrooms in this area had been dug up.
We still have to go deeper into the forest.
Gu Qing still wanted to continue looking for matsutake and planned to go deeper.
Gu's third daughter-in-law, Mrs. Song, followed Gu Qing. The old lady said that Gu Qing was injured and asked them to take more care of Gu Qing when they saw her on the mountain.
There is no way that the Song family would not agree. Not to mention the meat that Gu Qing sent recently, just for harvesting mushrooms, there are bad people in the village who want to curry favor with Gu Qing.
"Qing'er, your grandma said you have an injury on your back. You carry the basket to Third Aunt, and Third Aunt carries it to you." She chased after Gu Qing and repeated this several times, but Gu Qing didn't give it to her.
Gu Qing walked deeper and deeper, not knowing where he was going.
Mrs. Song took a look at the sky. The sun had come out and it was getting hotter and hotter. All the wild grass and vegetables were gone. In addition to mushrooms, she had to dig a basket of wild vegetables to feed the pigs before noon, otherwise the old lady would lose her temper again.
There happened to be a large field of fresh wild vegetables that no one had dug in front of her, so she quickly squatted down and started working.
Gu Meng, the second girl at the old house, also squatted down. When she looked up, she saw Gu Qing walking into the thorn forest in front of her, hunched over not knowing what she was looking for.
She licked her lips. Did the eldest sister find something good again?
She rolled her eyes and followed him quietly.
Gu Qing, Gu Yu, Gu Nuo, Mo Li and Zhu Han continued to walk. There were mushrooms and other things on the roadside, so they let the four of them dig up them first. She continued walking alone. Even if she couldn't find matsutake, she could get some porcini mushrooms.
Not bad either.
She stepped on thorns and opened large leaves, and suddenly an empty valley appeared in front of her.
A concave valley was naturally formed between the two mountains, and it was actually covered with yam vines. In other words, the whole area was full of wild yams.
【Ding! Found wild yam!】
The harvest season for yam is from September to October, and it is only mid-July now. Gu Qing shook his head and continued walking forward.
[Ding! Found wild matsutake mushrooms!]
Gu Qing turned around, peeled away some thorns and layers of broad leaves, and saw three or four matsutake mushrooms growing in the soft soil.
She gently and carefully dug out the matsutake mushrooms. There were six matsutake mushrooms in total, four of which were larger, weighing a pound in total.
[Ding! One pound of wild matsutake mushrooms is worth 1,200 cents. Is it for sale? 】
【yes!】
Gu Qing's pocket suddenly felt heavy.
Sure enough, matsutake makes money faster.
She walked along the bushes and continued to find many common mushrooms.
Nanzhou already produces mushrooms, and the land in Gujia Village is fertile, and mushrooms are growing wildly in piles on the mountains. Even if the picking is finished, even if it doesn't rain, as long as the mountains are moist enough, the next crop of new mushrooms can quickly grow.
Gu Qing picked some and sold some. When Zhu Han asked him to go down the mountain, her pockets were heavy but there was not even a mushroom in her basket on her back.
Zhu Han calmly took off her empty backpack and held it in his hand, and they all went down the mountain.
When we got home, the quick-footed villagers were already lined up waiting at the door.
Several people have harvested mushrooms several times and are already very skilled. Gu Qing directly asked Zhu Han to cook, Gu Nuo fed the chickens, Gu Yu took Zhu Han's place and sorted the mushrooms with Gu Qing, Mo Li weighed them, and Yang Pei
Register.
The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were borrowed from the Li Zheng family.
After harvesting the mushrooms, having dinner, and washing up, Gu Qing told a few people that he would sell the mushrooms and go to town tomorrow morning to buy some things.
You definitely need to buy a set of the most basic pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and it’s not a problem to borrow the ones from the housekeeper every day. Buy two new clothes for each person, so that they won’t be reluctant to wear them and keep putting the new clothes in the closet to collect dust.
Wear old clothes every day.
What else should I buy? Gu Qing fell into sleep just thinking about it...
A cock crow woke up Gujia Village.
When the genius dawned, Gu Qing sat up from the bed.
As soon as she got up, several people in the next room also opened their eyes at the same time.
Gu Nuo shouted in a daze: "Sister, I want to go to town too."
Gu Yu also spoke: "Sister, let me go with you!"
These two children had never been to the town before, and they both looked like they had never seen the world.
Gu Qing said with determination: "Okay, everyone get up and wash up, our whole family will go!"
Mo Li's eyes widened: "Master, can we go too?"
"Why can't you go? Each of you is a hero of this family and has made a lot of contributions to this family. Now that we have money, we can go if we want to!"
Mo Li smiled and said, "Then I have to wear the new clothes bought by the master of the house."
Yes, the head of the family bought them new clothes, which they had never been willing to wear. After Mo Li reminded them, everyone got up happily and put on the coarse clothes that Gu Qing bought last time to wash their faces.
Gu Qing smiled and nodded: "Yes, a man's appearance depends on his clothes, and a horse's saddle depends on it. I can't recognize you even if you change your clothes and look so handsome."
In the past, the three of them only felt disgusted when Gu Qing said this, but now they all turned slightly red and secretly rejoiced.
I'm so happy that my boss praised me for being handsome!
After several people had washed up and were preparing to have breakfast, the familiar voice of the virtual mall collector came from the door.
Several people put down their bowls and chopsticks and began to carry the mushrooms. This time, the money was more. They collected 11 taels of mushrooms at noon yesterday, and owed the villagers another 20 taels of mushroom silver in the evening. The cost of harvesting the mushrooms alone cost 31 taels. Yesterday, they collected 11 taels of mushrooms.
There were a lot of matsutake mushrooms in the mushrooms. The matsutake mushrooms were sold to the mall for 1,200 Wen per catty, but Gu Qing only paid 500 Wen per catty when they were collected.
In this way, the difference in price makes a lot of money. As soon as I checked out today, the delivery boy directly brought a basket of copper coins over.
"This is one thousand guan, which is one tael of silver. Your total is 65 taels of silver. After deducting the door-to-door fee, it is 64 taels of money. You can count." The two delivery boys smiled and waited for Gu Qing to tap lightly.
Chapter completed!
