Several children opened their mouths wide. Does this mean that there will be meat to eat?

"Mom, now fat meat is 35 cents per pound, and lean meat is 30 cents per pound. Even if we don't get the best, we can still get three pounds back."

Boss Zhou was even more surprised that this small piece of ginger, oh no, Polygonatum sibiricum! was so valuable.

Old Mrs. Zhou laughed.

In recent years, because of the old man's illness, there is no oil in the house. This time, she wants to pick the fattiest meat, add more oil and eat it slowly.

Several children cheered. This was the happiest thing that had happened in recent times.

"Let's make a deal first. When we boil the lard from the meat we cut, the biggest piece should be kept for San Ya, because she was the one who found this piece of Huang Jing."

No one objected to the old lady's request. Instead, they were very grateful to her. If it weren't for San Ya, they wouldn't have been able to eat lard residue.

Zhou Mingshu was also very happy. After selling the Polygonatum odoratum and cutting the meat tomorrow, he would have lard at home.

She must use lard to make the mugwort and mint anti-itch ointment. If it weren't for this incident, it would be difficult to get this little lard.

Because we picked so many mushrooms, dinner was easy to prepare and it was very sumptuous.

When Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan came back with eggs, they felt that the atmosphere at home was different.

"I'm back. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat."

"Oh oh, mom, these are the eggs you asked me to bring back."

Old Mrs. Zhou took them and counted them. There were twenty eggs. Each egg was quite big and not broken at all. Each egg cost one penny, and the two brothers had twenty eggs left as their wages.

"The mushrooms have already come out? So many mushrooms!" When Zhou Laosan saw the dishes on the table, he could no longer suppress his desire to eat.

"Yeah, I picked a lot of mushrooms in the mountains today, and made some soup and fried some vegetables. Eat slowly, it's enough."

Feng gently served Zhou Laosan a bowl of soup, which he drank in two gulps.

"Wow, it's so delicious. Are those chopped green onions floating on top? Why does it feel wrong when I chew it?" Zhou Laosan raised a reasonable question.

"Uncle, this is sprinkled with lemongrass, which is the same as green onions."

"Oh, it's a new seasoning. It tastes good and smells nice."

After hearing Zhou Laosan say that it tasted good, everyone poured themselves some soup to try, and it was just as delicious as he said!

"I didn't expect the lemongrass tastes so good." Boss Zhou smacked his lips and took another sip.

Zhou Laoer stretched his shoulders, wiped the sweat off his face, sat down at the dining table, and looked at his daughter with a smile on his face.

"Don't you see whose idea it was? Mom told me that it was Sanya and Erya who cut a lot of lemongrass and brought it back."

And that piece of Polygonatum was also discovered by my daughter.

There is nothing to compare between the three grown men. They are just arguing with each other about whose daughter is the more beautiful.

And Old Mrs. Zhou also announced an important news.

That means early tomorrow morning, she will follow Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan to the town to sell this piece of Polygonatum. After getting the money, she will cut a piece of fat and bring it back to make some lard.

After getting the accurate news, everyone was very happy.

So when Zhou Mingshu said she wanted to go with them, Old Mrs. Zhou nodded and agreed.

The girl's injury was on her forehead, not her legs or feet. She can still jump around, so there's nothing wrong with her wanting to go to the town with us.

After the meal, Zhu applied the medicine to Zhou Mingshu for the last time and asked Zhou Laoer to return the medicine.

It was originally borrowed, and they owed a big favor to someone. Now the wound has scabbed over, and they would not feel comfortable if they didn't return it.

"Sanyah, if you want to go to town with your grandma tomorrow morning, you have to get up very early. Can you get up? If you can't, don't go."

"No, I want to go. I have never been to town in my life. Now I finally have a chance. I have to go no matter how hard or tiring it is."

Seeing her daughter was so stubborn, Zhu stopped trying to persuade her.

They had to get up early because Lianglin Village was far away from the town, at least a dozen miles away. It was the most remote village in Jinmiao Town and there were several mountains nearby, making access difficult.

If my mother-in-law is willing to spend money to take a ox cart on the road, the journey will be faster. If she doesn't take the ox cart, she will have to rely on her own legs.

"Okay, then don't cry out in exhaustion when you come back. Your brother and I will be waiting at home for you to bring back the meat."

Zhu ruffled her daughter's hair, then closed the door and returned to her room.

Zhou Mingshu covered himself with a thin quilt, feeling happy.

Selling Polygonatum for money and cutting meat is an important thing, but it is also important to inquire about the market situation of anti-itching ointment.

If everything went well, she thought, this first pot of gold would be enough for the Zhou family to pay off all the foreign debts owed to the villagers.

Without the huge mountain of foreign debt, the situation at home will improve greatly, and we can eat whatever we want then.

As he was thinking, Zhou Mingshu closed his eyes and fell asleep.

But she felt like she hadn't slept for long when there was a knock on the door.

The person knocking on the door was Old Mrs. Zhou.

"Saya, get up, hurry up."

Zhou Mingshu opened her eyes and saw that it was still dark. Without a clock, she didn't know what time it was.

The sky is now just dark enough to see.

On the side, my father and uncle had also gotten up and were washing their faces.

"Hurry up, what's going on, Moji?"

Old lady Zhou gave her a big slap from behind, and Zhou Mingshu immediately braided her hair to solve her urgent problem.

This way, they didn't miss the time and the group of four went out.

Zhou Laoer had a backpack in his hand, which contained not only Polygonatum odoratum, but also breakfast for them and some wild vegetable dumplings.

Old Mrs. Zhou got up very early and heated up some wild vegetable dumplings, which are still a little hot.

"Mom, when are you going to eat this nest? Do you want to eat it now?"

"You can carry it first and eat it when it's daybreak. San Ya just woke up and may not have an appetite yet."

What Old Mrs. Zhou said was absolutely right. Not only did Zhou Mingshu have no appetite, he wasn't hungry at all.

Now there is no place to put it after eating it.

The group walked to the intersection of the town and then shared the wild vegetable nest.

"You two should go home early after work today. San Ya and I will take care of the things we need to buy."

Only then did Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan go to their workplace.

It was already bright outside now. That was the downside of being far away. They both felt a little tired before they even entered the market.

However, Zhou Mingshu was in good spirits. She took the backpack and let Old Lady Zhou take her to find a pharmacy in the town.

There are two main roads in the town, crossing each other from north to south. Each road is crowded with vendors and is very lively.

There were shops along the street, but they were too far away for Zhou Mingshu to see clearly what was sold inside. Some shops didn't even have a sign.

"Sanyah, what are you looking at? Follow me closely and don't get lost." Old Mrs. Zhou said as she adjusted her backpack so that she carried it in front of her and held her wrists tightly.

This is probably because he's afraid that his things will be stolen. It looks like there's a thief in this town.

Zhou Mingshu then collected his thoughts and looked carefully at the people around him.

This Huangjing is her only hope right now, she can’t lose it.
