In the blink of an eye, the summer passed like a gap in the white horse. The lush green grass in the mountains began to turn yellow, the leaves began to fall, and autumn came.

Autumn was harvest time, and there were plenty of edible things in the mountains that she could recognize. For example, wild fruits such as wild persimmons and wild grapes, as well as wild dried fruits such as chestnuts and walnuts. There are other yams, yams, eggs, and so on, but in short, in autumn, there is more food in the mountains.

Yang Xue is busy taking them back every day, of course, she can collect them, she can't collect them, and if it's dangerous, she will give up. For example, some of the yams she found couldn't be put away without a tool to dig them up, but she picked all the yam eggs from the vines. There was also a wild jujube tree on the edge of the cliff on the far left, and the jujubes on it were slightly larger than the average ones, so she picked what she could pick and gave up if it was too dangerous. She didn't want to put herself in danger because she had a little to eat.

After more than a month of busy work, the food at home is also more and more saved. The main thing is the yam eggs, which are nearly full of two baskets, and the baskets were later woven from bamboo strips. In addition, there are some sun-dried dried persimmons and persimmons, half a basket of chestnuts and walnuts, some sun-dried dates and dried wild grapes hanging on tree shelves, etc.

However, in addition to the harvest, autumn also brings a cooler. Although it was fine during the day, it was cold at night, and even if she made a door to block the wind, it was still very cold at night. For the last few nights, she had lit a fire by her bed so that it wouldn't get cold, so she thought about going down the mountain to buy some quilts and sheets before it was particularly cold.

Three days later, Yang Xue came to White Tiger Town again, but this time she was not as careless as last time. This time she also brought some dried mushrooms and a basket of wild eggs, she wanted to see if she could sell them, she couldn't keep spending money and not trying to make money, it was impossible to sit and eat empty.

Early in the morning, she came to the town to find a place to sell things, and asked about the current price of eggs, and after knowing that the eggs were now three or two, she would price the wild eggs at two cents each. But she didn't see anyone selling dried mushrooms, and then she waited seriously at the stall for the customers to come to the door.

After a while, someone asked about the price of eggs, and when they heard two questions, one was too expensive, they left. She didn't talk much and didn't speak much, but in modern times, because she didn't like to talk and couldn't speak, her friends were very, and even her work was not particularly good. But many people are too expensive, and the sun is gradually getting higher when they leave, so they can't help it, so they close their eyes and shake their heads and start shouting: "Sell eggs, sell eggs, newly picked up wild eggs on the mountain." At first, she was embarrassed to shout, but when she saw that someone was starting to come to her stall, she cheekily continued to shout. Or it is that level in my heart, in short, I became more and more proficient and my voice became louder and louder.

After a while, there were a lot of people standing in front of the stall, probably because people like to be lively and curious, and more and more people came to the stall here. At this time, an eldest lady said: "Little girl, are you really a wild egg, don't lie to people." "This lady looks at what you said, you see that the color of this egg is different from ordinary eggs, and besides, do you think I look like a liar?" This is a real wild egg, I only picked it up in the mountains two days ago. And this wild egg nutrition is better than domestic eggs, the taste is good, I buy it back to the elderly and children, pregnant women, and people at home to eat. "Yo, is this egg really as good as you say?" "Of course, that's all I ordered, why don't you buy a few and try them back?" "And how much do you have an egg?" "It's not expensive, just two pennies a piece." "It's not expensive, it's not ordinary eggs." "Auntie, you see that this nutrition and taste are better than ordinary eggs, and the larger ones of ordinary eggs are also two pennies, and I am still cheap." "Then you can pick up ten for me, or I'll pick it up myself, okay?" "Of course you can, auntie, please."

Holding the twenty wen she had just gotten, Yang Xue made persistent efforts and said: "Come on, come on, delicious and nutritious wild eggs, there are not many bargains, I don't know when I missed this time." It may be the reason for her words, or it may be the reason why she has just seen someone buy it. In short, all fifty wild eggs she had brought were sold out at once. There were still people in the back who didn't buy it, and after she apologized, she asked if anyone wanted to buy dried mushrooms, but no one bought them.

She carried the unsold dried mushrooms to the grocery store on her back, and she wanted to see if the owner of the grocery store could accept them. When she came to the grocery store where she bought things last time, there was no one in it, so she put down the basket and asked the shopkeeper: "Boss, do you accept dried mushrooms here?" "I collect it, but I have a standard for collecting it, and are all your dried mushrooms edible?" Don't mix it with toadstools. "Of course, it's here for you to see." After saying that, he took out the contents of the back basket, but the counter was a little high and put it on the ground.

After reading it, the shopkeeper said, "Well, your mushroom is good, I can collect it, how much are you going to sell?" "This, you look at the shopkeeper, I also sold this for the first time, or I heard that you are very sincere in buying and selling things here, so I came here." After listening to her words, the shopkeeper smiled: "My surname is Li, you can call me Shopkeeper Li." I don't want to give you any money, your mushrooms are clean and well classified, so how about I give you fifteen wen a catty, and I usually collect thirteen or fourteen wen. "Shopkeeper Li's is really refreshing, I'll sell it." After weighing, a total of more than four catties was almost five catties, and the shopkeeper's five catties were sold, and a total of seventy-five wen was sold. I bought another bucket and spent fifteen wen, and there were sixty wen left.

After the things are sold, I go straight to the last distribution point, and there are not many people when I get to the cloth shop. Because she bought a lot last time, and they were all old, and she was wearing very tattered clothes at the time, the second child and the shopkeeper in the store still remember her. Then I asked about the price of quilts and cotton clothes, and then asked about the price of cotton cloth and cotton. A quilt is 300 wen, a set of cotton clothes is a new 100 wen, the old 80 wen, cotton coarse cotton is 4 wen 1 foot, fine cotton is 8 wen 1 foot, linen cloth is 2 wen 1 foot, cotton new cotton is 25 wen and 1 pound of old cotton 20. In the end, I bought a set of older cotton clothes, a piece of cheesecloth, ten feet of fine cotton, and ten catties of old cotton. It cost a total of 660 wen, and because the cheesecloth was bought as a whole horse, it was 300 wen, because she bought a lot of things and asked the boss to send a lot of white thread and some cloth heads.

The basket was full, but she still wanted to go to the grain store to buy some food, although the family ate a lot, but it could not be used as staple food, and she also wanted to eat some food. I came to the grain store and bought three catties of black flour, three catties of cornmeal, and two catties of white flour, and spent forty yuan. When I left, I went to buy twenty white-flour steamed buns, and returned to the mountain for ten yuan. This time it was heavier, so it took a little more time than last time, and it took three full days, and I didn't get home until noon on the fourth day.
