Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

When everyone in the Su family heard this, they thought Su He had negotiated a big deal. The mushrooms they had in their hands were actually sold.

Everyone sighed for a moment, and when they came to their senses, they quickened their movements. They had to hurry because they had to make mushroom jam later after washing.

After all the mushrooms in the yard were washed, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo were not in a hurry to cook dinner. They said to make the mushroom sauce first and then cook. The other people in the Su family also nodded in agreement.

This costs money, and it is the most important thing for the Su family right now. It’s okay to have dinner later.

A lot of pork was bought today. Su He planned to make pork sauce with the mushrooms he picked today. Anyway, he has to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms tomorrow. He will make vegetarian sauce after the pork is used up.

"Ah He, just decide what you want to do first and tell us to do it."

Luo looked at Su He from the side and seemed eager to try.

"That's right. We can do all the chores and make fires."

Xie also echoed from the side.

This job is not easy, and they all want to contribute.

Su He didn't refuse. They worked together to cook faster so they could have dinner earlier.

"Let's cut the pork into small pieces first and then chop it up."

"Just drain the mushrooms and cut them into small pieces like this."

Su He gestured the size of two fingers.

Luo and Xie smiled and nodded, "Okay, let your eldest brother do the pork. He's stronger and can cut it faster."

After saying that, he called Su Mu who was outside the yard and asked him to cut the pork according to Su He's requirements.

"Sister, I'll be in charge of lighting the fire."

Su Chi looked up, wanting to help as well.

"Okay, Achi is the best, go make a fire."

Su He saw that everything was almost ready, so she asked Su Chi to light a fire and start making mushroom sauce.

Su Chi responded excitedly and quickly ran forward to start a fire.

The Su family's kitchen began to become busy.

"Big brother, come with me to cut some bamboo. We need to make a few more backpacks quickly."

Old Man Su found a sickle and shouted to Su Dawu and Su Danian.

Tomorrow the whole family will go into the mountains to pick mushrooms, and the backpacks at home will not be enough. Before it gets dark, we must go and cut some bamboo and bring it back. We must finish it in the evening so as not to delay going into the mountains tomorrow.

"Hey, Dad, we're coming."

Su Dawu and Su Danian nodded repeatedly, quickly found sickles, and followed Old Man Su to cut bamboo.

When the few people came back from cutting bamboo, they also broke off a handful of bamboo shoots and peeled them.

"I just broke some off when I was chopping bamboo. They're perfect for tonight."

Su Danian handed it to Su He, wiping the sweat from his forehead and speaking with a smile.

The stir-fried bamboo shoots made by Su He last time were particularly delicious. I just saw some on the hillside behind me and picked some. I’m too embarrassed to say that I was craving for them.

Su He smiled and agreed, "Okay, the mushroom sauce is ready, so let's stir-fry the bamboo shoots tonight."

The mushroom sauce was also ready. Mrs. Xie took out the rice and put it in to start cooking porridge. Mrs. Luo went to the vegetable garden and said she wanted to pick some vegetables.

Some of the vegetables in the Su family’s vegetable garden are already edible, so they don’t have to eat wild vegetables every day.

Su He took the bamboo shoots to the yard, washed them, blanched them and cut them into small pieces, cut two peppers, and stir-fried them in hot oil.

I also made a cold mixed mushroom salad with the mushrooms I picked up during the day. I also stir-fried a bunch of Chinese cabbage that Luo picked, and finally stir-fried a bowl of pork belly, which was mixed with red pepper and sizzled with fragrance.

Su He specially bought the pork belly when she was buying meat. Su Chi said that when he was a child, his family bought it once during the Chinese New Year and everyone got a piece. He still remembers the taste.

Su He bought two kilograms today, so that everyone in the Su family can eat it in the evening.

"Grandpa, Dad, Uncle, and Sister said we should eat first and then work."

Su Chi listened to Su He and hurried to the yard to call a few people for dinner. The aroma of the pork belly almost made him dizzy.

Several people working in the yard just smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, which was very tempting.

"Okay, let's eat first."

The fragrance was so dizzying that Old Man Su coughed lightly, put down the work in his hands, stood up and asked the other two to eat first.

After everyone in the Su family sat down one by one, they looked at the bowl full of pork belly on the table. It had a nice caramel color and they sniffed it. They had never eaten so good during the Chinese New Year before.

Everyone couldn't help but sniffle and swallow.

The porridge in the bowl was also much thicker, and it was obvious that a lot more rice was added.

Although there is no meat in the stir-fried vegetables, Su He is willing to add oil, salt and sauce, so the taste is very good.

Now, almost all the money in the family is earned by Su He. The Su family members don’t say anything, because the food they cook is eaten by the whole family.

Moreover, Su He said that even if they didn't buy meat, eating more oily food would give everyone the energy to work and make more money.

"Eat quickly, we'll make a few more backpacks later."

Old Man Su picked up the chopsticks and asked everyone to eat first.

After Old Man Su started to pick up his chopsticks, everyone picked up their chopsticks and held up their bowls.

The Su family enjoyed the meal very much and were excited at the thought of being able to sell the mushrooms in the future.

That night, everyone in the Su family fell asleep with excitement. Su He was originally worried that he would not be able to sleep, but he did not expect that he would fall asleep after lying down for a while.

When I woke up again, I could hear a low voice talking outside the yard.

Thinking about going into the mountains to pick mushrooms today, Su He didn't want to sleep any more and got up quickly.

When I went out of the yard, I found that everyone in the family had already gotten up.

Su Dawu and Su Danian were in the yard cleaning up the dead branches and leaves that had fallen to the ground while making backpacks last night.

It was too late last night so I didn’t clean up, so I quickly cleaned it up in the morning while I still had time, so that I will have a place to put my things when I come back from picking mushrooms.

Xie and Luo were making breakfast in the kitchen. When they saw Su He coming in, Luo said with a smile, "Ah He, wake up. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"No, I've had enough sleep."

After a busy day, Su He had a good night's sleep at night. She slept soundly. Thinking about going into the mountains to pick mushrooms and earn money, she felt full of energy.

For breakfast, I had millet porridge, fried wild vegetable pancakes, and a dish of fried sauerkraut.

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo also cooked some sweet potatoes and took them with them into the mountains so they could eat them when they were hungry.

After breakfast, the family put on their backpacks and set off.

Except for Old Mrs. Su who stayed at home to look after the children, even Old Man Su went into the mountains with the children.

"Don't underestimate an old man like me. I have been doing farm work all my life and I am still very strong."

The Su family couldn't refuse, so they could only let him do it. However, when entering the mountain, everyone quietly slowed down their pace.

Later they found out that there was indeed nothing wrong with Old Man Su, so they felt relieved.
