I'm going to become rich after being dressed as a five-year-old woman
Chapter 92: Picking Fungi in the Mountains
Zhao Qiqi rolled his eyes at him, this brat, as if he was going to do something to him.
"Didn't you ask yesterday if we could sell lard residue? Mother thought about it and decided that anyone working here could buy it at five cents per pound."
The embroiderers working nearby were all stunned, their eyes widened. Is this true? Only five cents a pound. You know, fat meat is more expensive than lean meat. Although the fat meat has been fried, there is still some fat left. Besides, this is already processed and can be eaten directly. Five cents a pound is cheaper than lean meat.
Zhao Qiqi nodded and said, "I'll sell this lard residue to everyone as a work benefit."
Someone put down the embroidery thread in her hand and asked: "Can we buy it too?"
Five cents per pound, it's really cheap. I can buy some to satisfy my children's cravings.
"Of course you can. There is no purchase limit for this lard residue. Anyone who works here can buy it. But at the beginning everyone may want to buy it, so you have to queue up." Zhao Qiqi knew that if you eat too much, you will get tired of it, and the number of people buying it will gradually decrease later.
"Mom, let's get in line."
Gu Yanyi took out the money he earned from his pocket, a total of five copper coins. This brat was quite generous and bought a pound directly.
The other children also hurried over to buy, but they were still children after all, so they didn't dare to buy too much. Some bought half a catty, and some bought less.
Fortunately, there were a lot of fried lard today, and everyone could share it equally. Everyone in the workshop could buy at least two to three pounds.
Several children started eating on the spot. Zhao Qiqi also sprinkled pepper salt and chili powder on them. Some of them couldn't stand it as it was their first time eating chili, and sweat broke out on their foreheads.
"It's...it's so delicious, shashasha." The children stuffed the food into their mouths while shouting that it was spicy. They ate several in a row. They were so happy and satisfied eating it.
"I want to take this back to my mother and sister, is that okay, auntie?"
The child was quite polite. He knew that this was a preferential price that could only be enjoyed by working here, and hesitated for a long time before asking.
"It's okay, you can take it back."
As I said, the workshop has to refine a lot of oil every day. These lard residues are useless things. Apart from eating them at home, any that can be sold is waste for recycling.
It seemed that Gu Yanyi and the others were so obsessed with picking up leaves that they even wanted to go up the mountain to pick more. Zhao Qiqi was naturally happy to see this.
She said that the amount picked up by these children was far from enough for the workshop's needs.
"Yanyi, if there are still people in the village who want to pick up the trash, you can collect as many as you can. You can also ask all the children in the village to go up the mountain to pick up the trash."
He nodded, and his mother handed the task of weighing to him. The larger the quantity, the higher the arithmetic level required.
"Mom, why don't you buy me an abacus? I want to learn how to count with it."
Zhao Qiqi didn't expect that Gu Yanyi, who usually loved to play, also had a desire to study. Of course, she would not refuse.
"Your eldest brother is going to town to buy raw materials tomorrow. I'll ask him to bring some back for you."
When the boys who had run back home to deliver the lard came back in a hurry, they were followed by a number of children with unfamiliar faces, who should also be from the village.
"Hello, Aunt Zhao."
"Auntie, they heard that our children can also make money, and they also want to come over. Is that okay?" Gu Damao and the children behind him looked at Zhao Qiqi nervously.
"Of course you can, but you have to be careful and safe, and don't cheat."
Oops, I accidentally said another idiom. Zhao Qiqi shut his mouth in embarrassment.
But fortunately, these kids didn't care about this.
Although these children had never been to school, they understood the literal meaning of "cheating" and made promises one after another.
Zhao Qiqi also followed them up the mountain. It had been such a long time since it rained so heavily. It was like a blessing after a long drought. She waited for some time before going to the mountain to see if there were any wild mushrooms to eat. The longer the drought lasted, the longer it would take for mushrooms to grow after the rain.
Mushroom soup is delicious.
Zhao Qiqi did not follow them and walked towards another path by herself. If she encountered anything that the system wanted to collect, she would not have to worry about being seen by others.
Sure enough!
[Ding, chanterelles are 20 cents a pound]
She even heard the system's prompt sound. Chanterelles, one of the four famous mushrooms, have a delicate and chewy texture and an attractive apricot fragrance, making them very suitable for making chicken soup.
Zhao Qiqi kept searching in the dense grass until he saw a goose yellow mushroom. He carefully pinched the root and put the chanterelle into the bamboo basket behind him.
After searching for about half an hour, Zhao Qiqi not only found the chanterelles, but also found many other boletus mushrooms and black mushrooms.
Zhao Qiqi planned to go down first. She had been bending over to look for it. Even though she was just a college student in her twenties in her heart, this body was actually in her thirties. She really couldn't bear it.
"Gu Yanyi! Gu Yanyi, I'm going to go down, do you still want to pick up?"
After getting a positive answer, Zhao Qiqi no longer cared about them. This place was a little higher up the foot of the mountain and there would be basically no danger, so Zhao Qiqi was not worried about them and walked down with the bamboo basket on his back.
Suddenly, Zhao Qiqi saw something black and shaped like a fungus, and her eyes lit up.
This is thunder god shit, that’s what she called it in her hometown. Although it doesn’t sound nice, this thing is really delicious. The system doesn’t even remind her. Maybe it’s because although this thing is difficult to pick up and wash, it still can’t be sold at a high price?
This is the most common thing after the rain. She ran up the mountain to look for mushrooms and didn't think of this thing. Fortunately, she saw it when she was going down the mountain and didn't miss it.
But this thing is really hard to pick up. She silently put down the bamboo basket and felt that she should be able to bear it. She was willing to pay the price for food.
Squat down and pick it up slowly. The good thing about thunder god shit is that it is easier to find than those fungi. You don’t have to look for it everywhere. It is basically on the surface. And this thing only grows in relatively clean places. It’s just that there are more pebbles and fine sand, so it is more difficult to clean.
I forgot to mention, it's still very fragile.
As soon as Zhao Qiqi started, he broke a piece of thunder dung into pieces. After being patient, Zhao Qiqi gently picked it up with his fingertips and kept it intact.
In order to avoid mixing up several things, set aside a place in the bamboo basket specifically for this.
