Yesterday, I saw a lot of carts or baskets selling mushrooms outside the supermarket, and they cost more than 10 to 20 yuan a catty. Some of the siblings didn't know each other, but most of them used to eat a lot.

At this time, the mushrooms on the mountain grow the best, they can pick hundreds of catties in less than half a day, and then send them there to sell, first buy two clothes, and then buy more white rice and white noodles, and this winter will not be worried.

While picking mushrooms, the sister and brother walked towards the place where Lin Erhu had seen the mallet on his head.

"Sister, it's over there, I used to hear my father say that you can't cut off your beard when digging a mallet, let's be careful later."

"I know, I brought a shovel, and I'll dig up all the soil around me and get it little by little."

The mallet that Lin Erhu said grows on a shady hillside, with tall trees and weeds growing next to it, and it is really difficult to find if you don't look carefully.

It's just that when the sister and brother arrived, what they saw was a piece of soil that had just been turned over, and it could be seen from the traces that it had not been dug up for a long time.

Lin Erhu was annoyed, "I knew that I was preempted, so I should have come over and dig it earlier." ”

Lin Xiaoman was also a little disappointed, but he still comforted: "If someone digs it up, it shouldn't be our family, and picking these mushrooms today can also exchange a lot of money." If you work hard before the weather gets cold, you can always save enough food for next year. ”

Lin Erhu still sighed, and Lin Xiaoman had no choice but to say: "You dug it a long time ago, and you also want to be exchanged for money by grandparents, so it's better to cheapen others." ”

"That's just as well! Alas! Although he sighed again, it was obvious that Lin Erhu was not so depressed.

I searched around carefully, and finally found a mallet that was not too big in the grass under a tree.

The siblings carefully dug it out, lifted a moss bag on the ground, wrapped it in several layers of leaves, and tied it with straw rope a few times, and then stuffed it under the big basket.

I went around the mountain again, in addition to two large baskets of mushrooms, I also picked a lot of wild fruits, went home and cut a few knives on the peel, strung them into strings and hung them under the eaves to dry the fruits, and in winter you can soak in water, or you can put sugar and steam to eat.

When my mother was here, I changed my tricks every day to make good food, and the sisters and brothers had eaten a lot of good things, so they naturally knew how to eat more than the people in the village.

When I got home, I drank a scoop of water and poured out today's harvest to sort.

The wild fruits were put in baskets and put in the stove, and the mushrooms were divided into two large, two small and four baskets according to different species, and the insects or fistulas were picked out.

Lin Xiaoman's strength is great, and she carries two large baskets, which are filled with hazel mushrooms.

Lin Erhu had little strength and carried two small baskets, one basket was pine mushrooms, and the other basket was half a basket of lion's mane mushrooms and three pieces of Ganoderma lucidum.

Xu came late, there were more people on the street than yesterday, and the sister and brother were stopped before they could go to the supermarket where they bought yesterday.

A round woman in an elegant long dress asked, "Child, do you sell these mushrooms?" ”

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu nodded busily, Lin Xiaoman said: "Sell it, do you want to buy mushrooms?" ”

The woman who called an aunt smiled, "Oh, this little mouth is sweet, I am sixty years old, I can be your grandmother, but I don't want to call my aunt." My surname is Liu, you can call me Grandma Liu. ”

Lin Xiaoman looked at Grandma Liu's fair face in surprise, and there was hardly a trace of folds on it.

Thinking about it again, Mrs. Lin is just over fifty, and her face is full of furrows. Comparing them together, she believes that she is twenty years older than this Grandma Liu.

"Grandma Liu, you are so young, what do you paint on weekdays?"

Grandma Liu was amused by Lin Xiaoman even more happy, "I didn't wear anything, I didn't like makeup when I was young, and I just put on some nourishing cream on weekdays, which are all things for ten or twenty yuan." The main thing is to have a good mentality, but also to pay attention to sun protection, a woman has too much sun, the bottom of the skin will not work, and it will age quickly. ”

Lin Xiaoman nodded hurriedly, the women in the countryside had to follow the field to do farm work, and when the sun was shining, wouldn't they look older than the women in the city?

In the future, she will work in the field, but she must cover it tightly.

As she spoke, Grandma Liu beckoned to the sisters and brothers, "It's very heavy, don't stand here and chatter, let's go to the side and take a look at the mushrooms." ”

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu followed with the basket on their shoulders, put the basket on the ground, and Grandma Liu began to look through several baskets.

"Your mushrooms are really good, there are no worms, how much does it cost to sell for a catty? If it's cheap, I'll buy more. ”

Lin Xiaoman remembered that yesterday he saw that the hazelnut mushrooms were sold for 161 catties and the pine mushrooms were 251 catties, which were not as good as the ones they brought.

I've never seen anyone sell lion's mane mushrooms, but they're quite expensive over there, and they shouldn't be cheap here.

But their sister and brother don't have a scale!

Lin Xiaoman pointed to a few baskets and said, "Grandma Liu, we don't weigh it, so let's sell it according to the basket." There are almost more than 30 catties of hazelnut mushrooms in a big basket, I sell Grandma Liu 451 baskets, two baskets of 900, pine mushrooms are almost 5 catties, and Grandma Liu gives me 100 catties. The monkey head and Ganoderma lucidum are also picked in the mountains, and I don't know how to sell them, so Grandma Liu looks at it. ”

The corners of Grandma Liu's mouth twitched, is this going to make her all round?

Look at the two large baskets of hazelnut mushrooms, the basket is very large, and there are only a lot more mushrooms in it than the little girl said.

This price is indeed cheap, but she just wants to buy some and wait for tomorrow weekend, when her son's family comes back to stew chicken to eat, at most she can buy a dozen catties of dried goods, how can she buy so much?

But these two children looked like they were pitiful, and under their eager gaze, they said not to buy it, and they were still sorry in their hearts.

Gritting her teeth, Grandma Liu said, "Okay, you come home with me, my house is in the community in front." Hey, I'll take this basket, seeing that you're not old, why can you hold such a heavy basket? Why are your parents relieved that you will come out? ”

As she spoke, Grandma Liu lifted a large basket of hazelnut mushrooms, and she almost didn't flash her waist.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoman was not yet high on her shoulders, and she didn't know if she was fourteen years old, she didn't bother to carry two baskets and walked for a long time, and she felt even more sorry for these two children.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu didn't know that Grandma Liu had regarded them as pitiful in their hearts, so they happily followed Grandma Liu to the community she pointed to.

On the way, Grandma Liu took out the square that everyone has here, pressed it a few times and put it in her ear, and after a while, she heard a voice from there, and Grandma Liu said, "Lao Zhang, do you buy mushrooms at home?" I met two children selling mushrooms here, the mushrooms look so good, it's just too much, my family can't eat them all, if you buy them, let's divide them? …… Okay, see you downstairs in the community...... Well, it's quite a lot, you see who else wants to buy, greet a few more people, bring their own bags, I don't think these two children have plastic bags. ”

"Oh, Lao Xu, I'm here...... Yes, I remember you have scales, right? Borrow it. ”

didn't go far, Grandma Liu had already contacted several people, put away the squares, and smiled on her face, "It's done, grandma greeted a lot of people, and you won't have to worry about selling these mushrooms later." ”
