Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

"It just rained two days ago, and I didn't expect that the mushrooms would grow so much on the second floor."

Su Bai walked in front of Su He, beating the weeds on both sides with the stick in his hand, and said with a smile:

"These newly grown mushrooms are so fresh. I'll send some to Yufen tomorrow. What do you think?"

Su Bai's eyes were full of smiles, and he was only thinking about sending some of this good stuff to the Zhao family for them to try.

This time when Su He went into the mountains, he didn't plan to pick mushrooms to make mushroom jam. He kept them for his own consumption and sent some to Manager Zhao and the Song Mansion.

"Okay, let my elder brother and the others take them to town tomorrow, and I will also send a portion to Miss Zhao so that she can taste it."

Su He said with a smile that it was no problem to send it, but it would be inconvenient for Su Bai to go to the Zhao family.

Now that the two families have arranged a marriage for them, the two cannot meet before the wedding. Even if she agrees, I'm afraid her aunt-in-law will not agree.

Upon hearing Su He's words, Su Bai's expression immediately drooped. He also knew that this was the rule, and that he and Yufen could only meet when they got married.

But I would also be happy to send her the mushrooms that I picked myself. I would definitely be happy when I thought about how Zhao Yufen would look when she ate the mushrooms that I picked.

Looking at Su Bai's silly smile, Su He curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

Su He was happy for Su Bai that he could find someone he truly loved.

As soon as the two men entered the Su family's yard, Old Mrs. Su saw them, put down the things in her hands, and immediately came forward to help the two men take off the backpacks on their backs.

When the wild vegetables covering the top were removed, a pile of mushrooms appeared underneath.

Mrs. Su suddenly cried out in surprise:

"Oh, mushrooms are growing in the mountains. That's great. They look really fresh. I'll make soup for everyone tonight so they can have a delicious meal."

The Su family hadn't eaten mushrooms for a long time, and they really wanted to eat them. Mrs. Xie, who had just come out, heard what Old Lady Su said and nodded repeatedly.

"This wild vegetable is really tender. I'll make some wild vegetable pancakes with it tonight. It will be delicious."

The Su family is no longer short of meat. The vegetables in the field have just grown, and they haven't started eating the first crop yet. It's a good opportunity to eat these wild vegetables and mushrooms in the evening, and everyone can change their taste.

"Okay, mother, just do whatever you want."

Su He rested for a while, and when he was almost recovered, he found a winnowing basket and started picking mushrooms, picking out those with good quality and those that were not crushed.

Tomorrow, when Su Mu and the others go to town, send some to the Song Mansion and the Zhao Family.

In the evening, Mrs. Xie asked Su Danian to prepare a chicken and stew a mushroom soup with it. The taste was so delicious that it made people salivate just by smelling it.

Beat wild vegetables with eggs and add chopped green onions to make a delicious and crispy wild vegetable egg pancake.

Even Old Man Su, who had not had a good appetite recently, couldn't help but eat an extra bowl of rice, and happily said that the mushrooms and wild vegetables tasted good.

"Grandpa, when I went into the mountains today, I saw that the mushrooms have grown quite a lot, so we can start making mushroom jam.

Last year, we made a lot of money from making mushroom jam. If we don’t make it this year, everyone in the Su family would be reluctant to do so.

But this family really can't spare anyone to go into the mountains. Last year, there was nothing to do at home, so they could focus on the work in the fields.

But this year, not only does the family have to run two workshops, but the business at the stall in town cannot be delayed either.

The family has bought so many new plots of land. Although we hired people to help with farming, now the work of fertilizing and weeding has to be done by our own family.

After thinking about it, I really don't have the manpower to spare. The mushrooms in the mountains can't wait, so what should I do?

Everyone in the Su family was suddenly at a loss. It was okay to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms occasionally, but it was probably impossible to go into the mountains every day.

But I feel reluctant to stop doing this business, after all, it's all money.

"Grandpa, I'm thinking that we can collect mushrooms in the village. We pay ten coins for a basket. We can collect a basket in just one morning. I think many people would be willing to do that."

This grown man can earn less than ten cents a day by doing odd jobs in the town. He can pick a basket of mushrooms in the vicinity of the village in one morning. Isn't it better than going to the town?

For some people who are nimble and nimble, it would not be a problem to pick up two baskets a day, so there should be a lot of people willing to do that.

This job of picking mushrooms can take several months, and it can be a considerable income at the end of the year.

"Then we can find two skilled aunts in the village to help us select and clean the mushrooms. Finally, we can make the mushroom sauce by ourselves."

Su He had thought about these things carefully yesterday. This way, not only did his family solve the problem of mushroom jam, but the people in the village also had work to do and earned money.

"We can also collect wild vegetables and make them into dried vegetables. Then we won't be short of wild vegetables to eat in winter."

After hearing what Su He said, Old Man Su was a little stunned. He had never thought of this method.

This is a good idea. The Su family is doing better now. It would be a good thing if we could make money together with the people in the village.

Some young people in the village go to the town to find work during the slack season. It is hard labor and they may not even earn ten cents a day.

Moreover, the town is far away and people are reluctant to take a ox cart, so many people stay in the town for several days before returning.

Sometimes you are unlucky and can’t even find a job, and you have to walk back home hungry.

It would be a good thing if you could find work in the village. A young and strong person could pick up more than one basket a day.

If you are fast at walking, you can pick up two or three baskets a day, which is worth twenty or thirty cents, much better than going to the town.

"I think this is a good idea. I will go to the head of the village and talk to him. Then we can see who is willing to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms and send them directly to our house."

This is a good thing. Old Man Su thought that he should talk to the head of the village about it. Then anyone who is willing to pick mushrooms can go and they will accept them as long as they are brought to him.

"Okay, fine, but we have to make this clear in advance. It has to be good quality, not inferior ones."

Su He was worried that if this matter was not explained in advance, some opportunistic people in the village would send some random things over. That would not work.

By then, the Su family would be in a thankless situation.

"If they are willing to do it, they can come to our house tomorrow. I will teach them which mushrooms they can pick and which they cannot pick, as well as which wild vegetables we can collect and which we cannot collect. It happens that we have picked up a lot today, so let them recognize them all."

There are many varieties of mushrooms, but many of them are inedible. You have to discuss this with the people in the village.
