Butcher Sun quickly weighed the quantity Su He wanted, and carefully helped her pack it and put it in the backpack.

Su He bought a lot, and Sun the butcher smiled and wiped off the change of three cents, and generously gave the remaining four or five large bones to Su He as a gift.

Su He said that he wanted to buy some unwanted pig offal, and Butcher Sun only charged two copper coins for it symbolically. If Su He didn't want it, the offal would have to be thrown away if it couldn't be sold.

Su He looked at the large bones with a lot of meat still on them, and a smile spread across her face. She praised Butcher Sun as an honest man and said she would come to him to buy pork in the future.

I'll go home and cut a radish with this big bone at night and stew it until it becomes a milky white soup. It's so delicious.

Several small pork stalls nearby were so envious when they saw that Su He had almost bought out all the pork on Sun the butcher's stall that they kept trying to sell their own pork to Su He.

"Girl, look at my pork, it's fresh too!"

"I have pig offal here, too, and they cost two cents."

"That's right...I have this too."

Seeing this, Su He bought all the offal from the remaining stalls.

This thing is not expensive. I can make some braised food at home in the evening so that everyone can change their taste.

Only Sun the Butcher was cheerful and kept waving at Su He's back.

After buying the things, the two of them rode back in a ox cart. Today was the first time they came out to deliver mushroom jam, and the Su family must be waiting anxiously at home.

When the two of them were sitting on the ox cart and were about to reach the intersection of the neighboring village, they saw a man sitting under a tree at the intersection from a distance, looking around from time to time.

"Uncle, do you think that man looks like my father?"

Su He pointed somewhere not far away and asked Su Zhiyan in a low voice.

When Su Zhiyan heard this, he turned his head and squinted his eyes to look carefully in the direction of Su He's finger.

As the ox cart got closer, the two men could see it more clearly.

"It seems like it really is the second brother!"

"Second brother..."

A smile slowly rose at the corner of Su Zhiyan's mouth, and he kept waving towards someone not far away.

The person who was sitting under the tree heard the noise, looked towards the town, and saw that the people coming were his daughter and younger brother. He quickly stood up and waved to them.

When the ox cart stopped at the intersection, Su He quickly jumped off the cart and walked forward.

"Dad, why are you here?"

At this time, the family should have just come down the mountain, and they are probably picking and washing mushrooms.

"Your grandfather said that you guys would probably buy a lot of stuff, so he asked me to pick you up after we get down the mountain!"

The main reason was that they were worried that Su He’s small body couldn’t carry the things, so they asked Su Danian to take over. After all, there were many people in the family and there were people to do the work.

After saying that, he stepped forward to help move everything off the ox cart.

Su He took out thirty coins and handed them to Old Man Wei.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Wei, for today. Can I rent one of your ox carts on the next market day?"

In two days, they will have to deliver goods to Qianweilou, which will inevitably require the use of a ox cart. Su He also plans to rent a ox cart for another day, which will be convenient.

"Of course, of course. I, the old man, will be waiting for you here in two days."

Old man Wei agreed with a smile. He was naturally happy that someone was renting a car. He didn't have to do anything when Su He rented the ox cart, and he came back early, with almost half a day left. It was more cost-effective than when he usually picked up passengers.

After agreeing on renting the ox cart, Su He and his companions loaded up their belongings and headed back to Yunli Village.

Su's father said that they had picked a lot of mushrooms in the mountains today. The family was already cleaning them and were waiting for Su He to buy pork and go back to make mushroom sauce.

The three of them talked about their respective things today as they walked, and before they knew it, they soon returned to the Su family.

"Sister, you're back!"

Su Chi was facing the gate of the courtyard. He was the first to see the three people returning. He quickly put down the mushrooms in his hand and stood up to greet Su He.

They gathered around Suhe, very happy, and started talking about what happened in the mountains today.

"Sister, we picked up a lot of mushrooms today!"

"I also found black fungus and picked a basket of it. Mom washed it and dried it in the sun!"

Su He smiled slightly and nodded continuously, touching his little head and praising him for being so awesome.

Hearing the compliment, Su Chi's mouth corners raised even higher, and he couldn't hide his pride.

"Okay, your sister and the others just came back. Let them rest for a while and go get some water for your sister and the others."

Xie shook her head helplessly and spoke quickly, otherwise who knows how long this chatterbox would keep talking to Su He.

After hearing what Su's mother said, Su Chi was not angry. He ran into the house and poured a bowl of water for everyone.

Su He sat down on a chair under the eaves, drank a bowl of water while resting, and then he felt a little better in his throat.

Looking at the yard filled with cleaned mushrooms placed on bamboo mats to drain.

"Mother, the pork we bought today is in the backpack. Take it to the kitchen. We will make mushroom sauce later."

The weather was getting warmer, and Su He was worried that the pork would go bad in the basket, so he asked her mother to take everything out quickly.

After looking around the yard, he didn't see Old Man Su and his group, so he asked in confusion, "Where are Grandpa and Uncle? Why don't we see them?"

Su Mu and Su Bai are not here either. It's still quite hot out there. Where have they gone?

While picking up the pork, rice and flour in the basket, Xie turned around and said, "We just finished picking mushrooms. Your grandfather led your uncle and the others to open up wasteland."

Last time, Su He said she wanted to grow some peppers. Old Man Su saw that he had time, so he led several men in the family to open up some wasteland, thinking that he could then plant more sweet potatoes and have more food for his family.

"Don't worry, they all brought straw hats and said they would be back soon."

Old Man Su has been doing farm work all his life and is a person who cannot sit idle. Moreover, he is also thinking about reclaiming more wasteland so that he can grow more crops. No one in the Su family can persuade him to do this.

Su Danian drank a bowl of water, picked up a hoe, took a straw hat, and hurried out.

While the mushrooms were almost drained, Xie and Luo went to chop the meat while the other went to cut the mushrooms.

Old Mrs. Su also went into the kitchen and cleaned the pots on the stove so that they could be used directly later.

After a good rest, Su He started to make mushroom sauce. Su Chi rushed to help light the fire, and Su He let him do it.

It just so happened that Su He was planning to teach Xie and Luo how to make mushroom sauce. Once they learned it, they could make it themselves when she didn't have time.

"Achi, light two pots."

One is boiling lard, the other is boiling mushroom sauce, and it doesn't waste any time at all.

Su Chi nodded, lit a fire on another stove, and threw in two pieces of firewood.
