Seeing that the ferry was about to start construction in two days, Zhang Sijiu would certainly not miss the opening time, so in the past two days, Zhang Sijiu began to desperately prepare materials.

There are a lot of grass roots at the water's edge, but it is not easy to dig up.

But fortunately, both CMB and Komatsu can be the main laborers.

The main thing is that the roots are dug out of the tender roots, washed and chewed in the mouth, which can have a sweet taste in itself, and the two of them are tired of digging and washing and chewing two roots to eat, and they are also very happy.

And Zhang Sijiu took the opportunity to remove all the fungus on the mulberry tree.

She even found a dead mulberry tree with many fungus growing densely.

This mulberry tree is wild, just on the edge of the bamboo forest of the Zhang family.

Zhang Sijiu took advantage of Zhang Xiaoshan's home, and asked Zhang Xiaoshan to cut down the mulberry tree and drag it home.

The mulberry tree had rotted, and Zhang Xiaoshan almost thought it was going to be burned as firewood.

Fortunately, Zhang Sijiu stopped quickly and asked Zhang Xiaoshan to put the wood in a cool place, and he covered it with dry wheat straw. Before the cover, I sprayed the wood with a little water - well, let Komatsu spray it little by little with his mouth, in order to be even.

Finally, when the little pine eyes were full of gold stars, she shouted to stop, covered the grass, and covered the wood firmly.

Xu and Zhang Xiaoshan both wondered: "What is this for?" ”

Zhang Sijiu explained: "There are fungus on it. I heard Saburo say that he had read in the book that some people in other places raised fungus, and this is probably how they got it. I don't know if it can be done, so let's try it casually. ”

Just give it a try.

It's best to be able to grow fungus, but it's not good, and it's good to chop firewood after a while.

Xu couldn't laugh: "How can it be so easy?" If it's so easy, why hasn't anyone done it before? ”

Zhang Xiaoshan felt that his daughter-in-law was right. But he has always been tolerant and kind to children, and he waved his fan-like hand: "But it's okay, just play." ”

Kids, they just like to play. As long as it's not a trouble, just play casually.

Yang did not comment on this matter, but said: "One foot in the sky, one foot in the ground." ”

Zhang Sijiu didn't hear it, he still smiled at Zhang Xiaoshan and Xu, and at the same time rejoiced in his heart: Although not all people in a family are enlightened, the people who have the main right to speak are enlightened, then they are really happy!

The grass roots were almost done, and Zhang Sijiu asked them to dilute the tender hearts and young leaves of the bamboo leaves.

This one has to be fresh to be useful.

In the end, Zhang Sijiu took the time to go to the city and sold all the dried fungus to the restaurant.

The fungus is more expensive than the mushroom, but these mulberry trees are not as good as the ones sold by the hunters on the high mountains, so the price is not too high, but because of the dry goods, although there are not a few taels in total, they are sold for a full sixty wen.

Coupled with the twenty-seven money that Zhang Sijiu had saved before, she went straight to the sugar shop and bought all the cheapest yellow rock candy cubes.

In this year, there is already snow-colored sugar in the sugar shop, which is a little different from the white sugar of later generations, but it is not too much.

But the price is expensive, more than 100 yuan a catty, and Zhang Sijiu can't afford it at all.

The cheapest ones are brown sugar and caramel sugar, followed by rock sugar - large, irregular rock sugar, which still contains certain impurities, showing a light yellow color, and can be broken when used.

Brown sugar and starch syrup are heavy in color, and the taste is not as good as rock sugar, and it is even more difficult to preserve, so Zhang Sijiu gritted his teeth and bought a pound of eighty yuan of yellow rock sugar.

Yes, eighty wen.

This is still the result of bargaining for soft grinding and hard bubbles, and people originally sold eighty-four Wen.

Just four pennies, Zhang Sijiu and the boss grinded for a full two quarters of an hour.

In the end, the boss couldn't resist Zhang Sijiu's patience and impatiently agreed.

Zhang Sijiu felt that this was the most expensive sugar he had ever bought.

It's so expensive that when you give money, your heart is dripping blood.

In the end, Zhang Sijiu gritted his teeth and spent another four dollars to buy a few pieces of caramel cubes - saying that it was caramel cubes, but in fact, it was already sticky on a hot day. The impurities are even more visible to the naked eye.

But it's already the most extravagant snack for kids.

After Zhang Sijiu went home, he called Xiaosong Xiaobai and Zhaoyin over, and stuffed a piece of it into each person. and gave Xiaosong Xiaobai a piece for each person, and asked them to give it to the Xu family and the Yang family.

As for Zhang Xiaoshan, there is nothing superfluous, Zhang Sijiu felt that men probably didn't like candy either, so he simply ignored him.

However, although the taste of the caramel is not good, and even the aftertaste is a little sour, and there are impurities in it, but at the moment when the sugar cube is entered, Zhang Sijiu still sincerely feels happy-

The sweet taste seems to flow from the mouth to the heart.

CMB even grinned vigorously from the sugar cube in his mouth, and his feet were also swaying.

The two of them sat in a row on the edge of the ditch, their feet soaked in running water, and their mouths were sweet, not to mention how refreshing.

Zhang Sijiu looked at Zhaoyin's happy appearance, and couldn't help but sway his legs.

The icy cold water hits every part of the foot, and a slight shake can bring up a cluster of splashes.

These waters flowed into the distance, as if to take away the irritability, depression and exhaustion from people's hearts.

Zhaoyin looked at Zhang Sijiu, his eyes were full of envy: "Jiu Niang, your second aunt is really good." You're really good, too. You're as good as your father. It's so small, and you can make money. ”

Zhang Sijiu, who was not familiar with his father in this world, heard this, his heart moved, and he instigated Zhaoyin: "You tell me about my father." ”

So CMB told everything he knew.

is obviously an ordinary story of a rural teenager who is unwilling to be poor and tries to earn money to do small business, but Zhang Sijiu still listens to it with relish.

It's so good, it's so good to be serious and work hard to live like this.

Hearing the end, Zhang Sijiu smiled slightly, nodded and said, "My father is really powerful, he is my role model." ”

CMB was a little frustrated: "Why am I so stupid." My father and mother are also ......."

Thinking of his own eccentric mother, who almost didn't care about her father, Zhaoyin was even more envious: "Jiu Niang, if only I were also your child." ”

Zhang Sijiu couldn't help laughing: "Zhaoyin, sometimes, whether others are good or not, in fact, it doesn't matter that much, of course it's good to meet a good one, but you can't always meet a bad one, it's just a day, right?" If we work hard and earn money by ourselves, we will be able to live well in the future. ”

Zhaoyin said that he was comforted, and he was beaten with chicken blood: "Yes! That's a great thing you said! I'm going to do a lot of hard work! ”

"Okay, try hard." Zhang Sijiu bumped Zhaoyin's shoulder with his shoulder.

Zhaoyin smiled like a trumpet flower.

Xiaosong Xiaobai also ran out, and her eyes were shining: "Sister, my mother and grandmother both said that the sugar is very sweet and delicious!" We're going to make money to buy it in the future! ”

Zhang Sijiu nodded: "Okay, when we make money, let's buy it again!" ”

But next time, when she has money, she wants to buy a toothbrush first, so as not to eat sugar and get tooth decay.

Because with twigs, the taste is really not good.
