Could it be that it was really sold?

Old Man Su was also excited. The Su family was having a hard time now. Apart from farming on weekdays, the eldest and second sons would go to the town to do odd jobs during the slack season to earn some money. The family had to think twice before buying meat.

"All sold out!" Su He took out all the things, shook them carefully, and then hung the basket under the eaves.

When they heard Su He say that all the things they brought today were sold out, all the Su family members in the yard became happy.

Unexpectedly, the fruits picked from the mountains were made into dried fruits by Su He and sold out.

And seeing that Su He bought so many things, it looked like it would cost at least a hundred copper coins.

"Really, that's really great."

Although those dried fruits were made with some brown sugar, it was worth it after buying so many things.

The Su family didn't think too much about it, thinking that it would be good to just exchange the rice and flour for the dried fruits.

"Grandpa, I used the money from the dried fruit to buy some meat, in addition to the rice and flour. There is still some left. Look!"

Seeing that the Su family was so happy, Su He originally thought of taking out the remaining silver after dinner.

But now that everyone is so excited, I might as well just say it now.

Old Man Su held a bag of silver wrapped in cloth that Su He brought over. It felt heavy in his hand. He raised his head with an expression of disbelief and looked at Su He in front of him.

I saw her eyebrows curved, and she raised the corners of her mouth towards me, revealing two white teeth, looking like a little money-grubber.

"This is... so much."

Old Man Su weighed the coins in his hand and estimated that there were at least a hundred coins in total, and there were still a few things in the backpack.

How much silver did the dried fruits made from the wild fruits in the mountains sell for?

Everyone in the Su family was also shocked. Even Xie and Luo, who were busy in the kitchen, rushed out when they heard the noise.

Old Man Su was a little shocked. Su He had done a big thing today.

"How much money did you earn today?"

Su Dawu widened his eyes and muttered to himself, "He went to the town to do odd jobs and only earned a dozen copper coins a day. Oh my god."

"I secretly counted them on the way back. Apart from the rice, noodles, pork, brown sugar, etc. I bought today, there are still 253 copper coins left."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the yard widened their eyes with a look of disbelief.

How many?

253 coins?

Excluding the expenses for the things I bought, I would have made at least four or five hundred coins from selling these dried fruits today.

That’s almost half a tael of silver!

"Really... there are really so many. Can those wild fruits really be sold for so much silver?"

After hearing this, Old Mrs. Su couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. All this was enough to cover the income of the Su family for one or two months.

"A Yan..."

Old Man Su looked at Su Zhiyan who was standing beside him and confirmed with some disbelief.

Su Zhiyan looked at everyone in the Su family and nodded.

Not to mention the people in the Su family, even he himself still finds it hard to believe it.

If he hadn't followed Su He the whole time today, he wouldn't have believed it was true.

"Grandpa, this thing and the remaining money are in your hands, so why are you so unbelievable?"

Su He comforted him with a smile.

"Look, I bought some more brown sugar. Some of the wild fruits in the mountains are ripe. I will go into the mountains to pick some more tomorrow and sell them in town on the next market day."

Su He had already made up his mind. There were still a lot of wild fruits. During this period of time before the rainy season, the sun was good and she could make fruit rolls. They could be dried and stored without having to worry about them going bad.

"Okay... okay, then tomorrow let your father, your uncle, and your eldest brother go into the mountains with you. The work in the fields is almost done. We can earn money from these wild fruits, so we should hurry up and make use of them."

The corn has almost harvested. If we have two more people to go into the mountains with us to pick wild fruits tomorrow, we can come back earlier.

Su He nodded. She thought this was fine. After all, going into the mountains depended on manpower, and she, her elder brother and A Chi could not carry much.

If dad and uncle could go along as well, it would save a lot of trouble. We could pick the wild fruits earlier and prepare them earlier, so that we can take them to the town to set up the stall as soon as possible on the next market day.

However, with so many people, the previous bamboo mats were not enough for drying the sun, so Su He asked Old Man Su to make two more.

"That's no problem. We'll do it now. It's not dark yet, so we'll be able to finish it by night and it won't delay your work tomorrow."

After Old Man Su finished speaking, he led his two sons and started working. Thinking of how much money they had made from selling the dried fruits today, they all felt energized and the smiles on their faces never stopped.

After finishing the business, Su He found a basin of water and planned to wash all the pig offal.

"Why did you buy these things? The smell is so strong."

Only then did Old Mrs. Su notice the pig intestines that had not been cleaned and were placed by the well.

She saw the rice and flour that had just been brought into the main room, as well as the fat and bones in the kitchen.

The bones can be stewed to make soup, but no one eats pig offal because it smells very strong.

"This was given to me by the uncle who sells pork. I didn't charge him."

You can’t take it even if they don’t pay you!

The words were almost on the tip of Mrs. Su's tongue, but she swallowed them back as she watched Su He happily cleaning the pig intestines.

This silly girl.

Seeing Old Lady Su hesitant to speak, she looked similar to how Su Zhiyan tried to persuade her at the market today.

Su He also knew what Old Lady Su was thinking, and quickly explained it to her again:

"Grandma, I know how to make this, and it's delicious. I'll make it when I'm done. You'll know when you try it tonight."

After Su He finished speaking, he stood up and went into the kitchen to take out all the fat meat bought today, cleaned it, and cut it into small pieces.

She told Su Chi, who was standing by her side and refusing to leave, "Go to the kitchen and light a pot. Let's boil some lard."

When Su Chi heard Su He say that she wanted to make lard, her eyes sparkled and she immediately stood up and quickly went into the kitchen.

Su He added some water to the pot and put the fat he had just cut into the pot. With the sizzling sound in the pot, Su He stir-fried the fat a few times with the spatula in his hand.

She told Su Chi, "Sister, go take care of the pig intestines outside first. You watch the fire. When the pot starts to boil and bubbles appear, stir it a few times. Then take out some firewood and simmer it slowly over low heat. Do you understand?"

If the fire is too strong, the pot will stick.

Su Chi nodded obediently, looking serious.

With this lard, dishes will taste better in the future, and the lard residue left over from cooking will also be very fragrant.

Su Chi thought of the lard residue that his grandmother had given him to eat when their family was making lard, and he couldn't help swallowing.
