The two of them just watched Xu Erniang walk away.

"Can Manager Li eat so many bamboo shoots?" Xu Erniang brought quite a few bamboo shoots, and others also brought some. An Zhi was a little worried.

"Why do you care about these?" Sui He took back the cup, left the window and sat down in the room: "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Li can eat it. This is not the only shop. Even if he can't eat it, he can use it to dry bamboo shoots."

"That's right." An Zhi nodded. Thinking about the good business in Manager Li's store, he was no longer worried.

After the meal, the two of them started to wander around Yingcheng. When they passed by Yaniang's showroom, Suihe did not go in. They had not gone to Yaniang to buy things for a long time.

Yaniang stood at the door and saw Suihe and the others at a glance. She did not call them. It had been almost half a year since she came. Yaniang also realized that she had offended them.

But she didn't take it to heart. They were just two customers. Although it was a pity, after all, a mosquito is still meat.

Her customers are mainly those wealthy families who make clothes

"Second sister, Yaniang was just looking at us." After walking a long way, Anzhi pulled Suihe's sleeve.

"Well, I saw it. Don't worry about her." Sui He replied calmly, "Don't worry about her. She's not the only one selling clothes in this city. The money is with us. We can buy it wherever we want."

"That's right," Anzhi nodded. She also knew why her second sister didn't go to Ya's house to buy clothes. It felt good to have a sister who could help her vent her anger.

Yingcheng has developed very well in the past few months. There are many vendors selling strange and exotic things in the market.

There are so many strange things and crops to choose from.

Sui He stopped at a stall selling mountain products and looked at the black stuff in the cloth bag in front of him.

"Girl, come and have a look. These are all first-rate good stuff." The stall owner greeted Sui He and the others as they approached, grabbing a handful of stuff from the bag and handing it to Sui He.

"Uncle, this is black fungus, right?" Sui He picked up a flower and put it close to his nose to smell it.

Only people living in the mountains know these things. Because they are poor and have nothing to eat at home, they try every possible way to find food. They want to try everything they see to see if it can be eaten.

"Girl is really good at knowing what's good. This is black fungus." Seeing that Sui He knew it, the stall owner started talking as if he had opened a box of conversation.

"This is what my kids have been picking up in the mountains for several days. There aren't many. Would you like to take some back with you, girl?"

Sui He took a closer look and found that the fungus was indeed of good quality. She looked up and asked, "Uncle, how much are these?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "Not expensive, not expensive. This bag weighs a little over two kilograms. Just give me one or two ounces."

Sui He frowned slightly. This small bag of fungus is so expensive.

An Zhi tugged at Sui He's clothes and whispered, "Second sister, this thing is so expensive, it costs one tael."

The vendor saw Sui He and the others frowning and became anxious: "Girl, this stuff is really not expensive. We live deep in the mountains and the fungus only comes out during this period. We often have to climb several mountains to pick some. There are not many of these fungus after they are dried."

This fungus has been on display for several days. Many people have asked about it, but not many have bought it. Everyone thinks it is too expensive. He also wants to get a cheaper price, but he can't bear to buy it even if it is cheaper.

It took the kids in my family half a month to collect this much.

"Girl, take these back and soak them in hot water. You can make a large plate with just a few of them. They are also very tender to eat."

"Okay, I'll take all of these." Sui He thought for a while and then bought all of them. The stall owner was right. The fungus looked big and plentiful, but there weren't many of them after they were dried.

However, dried fungus can also grow very large if soaked in water, just like thunder fungus.

People in Qingshan Village rarely see this, mainly because wood ear mushrooms grow on rotten wood. Any dead trees on the mountain would be dragged back home and burned, so there would be no place for them to grow.

I haven't eaten these for a long time. I'll take some home and stir-fry them with meat.

"Hey, thank you, girl. I'll pack it for you right away." Seeing someone wanted it, the stall owner immediately tied the mouth of the cloth bag and handed it to Sui He.

Sui He took it and put it in his backpack, then looked at the walnuts in the other basket.

"Is this a walnut?" Sui He picked one up and took a look. The walnut was very big and the surface was dried. When he squeezed the walnut with his hand, a crack appeared on the surface.

“It’s still a paper-shell walnut.”

"These are walnuts, grown at home. There are too many to eat, so I brought them here to sell." Seeing that Sui He was interested in walnuts, the stall owner picked up two walnuts, held them together, and squeezed them hard, and the shells of the two walnuts broke.

The stall owner handed the shelled walnut kernels to Suihe and the others and said, "Try it, ladies. It's sweet."

It's not that they can't finish it, it's that they can't bear to eat it. People in the mountains are poor, and they want to exchange any good things at home for money to supplement their household expenses.

Suihe picked up half of it and put it in his mouth. It had a strong walnut flavor and was obviously oily. This old variety of walnut tasted really good.

"It's really good. Give me some of this." Sui He took the remaining walnut kernels and handed a few to An Zhi, who took them and put them in his mouth.

"Hey hey" seeing that the walnuts were also sold out, the stall owner was so happy that he wanted to jump up on the spot. His home was far from Yingcheng, and it often took him two hours to walk out of the mountain.

It is not easy for them to go out once. Every time they go out, they bring a lot of things. They will take them out before they can buy anything at home. However, walnuts are too common and not valuable. Most of the time, they just take back what they have taken out.

Because it is so common, walnut grafting is much cheaper.

How could he not be happy that someone wanted this cheap thing? While packing the things, the stall owner was planning what to buy for his home.

Sui He took the walnut, gave the silver to the stall owner and left.

"Second sister, why is this fungus so expensive? Two kilograms costs one tael of silver." After leaving the market, An Zhi complained.

"Because one pound of dry fungus requires ten pounds of wet fungus to dry. If you encounter wet fungus with a lot of water, you will need more," Sui He explained to An Zhi.

"If you take away the time and effort spent on picking, it's actually not expensive, and the quality of this bag of wood ear mushrooms is pretty good."

"So that's how it is." An Zhi nodded: "I understand, but second sister, since this thing is from the mountain, can we also pick some and sell it ourselves?"

An Zhi suddenly had an idea, "There should be a lot of wild fungus on the mountain. Let's find some time to go up the mountain and take a look."

"There should be some on the mountain. Are you sure you want to go?" Sui He tilted his head and looked at her: "You have to think about it carefully. There should be no such thing on the mountain behind Qingshan Village. I guess you have to go deeper into the mountain to find it."

"Is it okay?" An Zhi blinked and looked at Sui He.

"Okay," Sui He nodded. He would call a few more people and go to the mountains together to have a look.

(Happy holidays. I went hunting today and picked pecans and chestnuts. The chestnut balls were like hedgehogs. They fell down when I hit them. They hit my waist and I jumped up on the ground in pain. It really hurt. I dug a small piece of Polygonum multiflorum. It was too small, only the size of a thumb. I dug it to pieces. I felt so sad.)
