Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Yang Xiuying instructed her daughters, "We can pick mushrooms and black truffles from the mountains and sell them in the city, but we still have to grow our own vegetables. Shi Liu, take your sisters to the village to see if you can borrow some vegetable seeds. Bring a few eggs with you, and you can trade them with them."

Now only eggs are visible, and eggs are more precious than ordinary food, but Yang Xiuying's family has no shortage of eggs, so they are the most suitable for exchange.

She was not familiar with the people of Murakami, and in the original owner's memory, she did not have a very close relationship with the people of Murakami. The daughters in the family had a good relationship with the children in the village, so it would be most appropriate for the daughters to go and exchange.

The second sister set off with her sisters. The fourth sister carried a bamboo basket and took a few eggs from the chicken coop and put them in. After the sisters discussed it, they decided to go to their best playmate's house first.

The eldest brother told his sisters not to tell them about the mushrooms and black truffles on the mountain that could be sold for money, as their mother would tell them when the time was right. They just had to take care of themselves.

The sisters all went to Murakami, and the eldest sister excitedly said to Xiuying who was counting mushrooms

"Mother, look at how much these mushrooms and black truffles can be exchanged for?"

The five sisters went up the mountain early in the morning with bamboo baskets on their backs to pick mushrooms and dig black truffles. The fourth sister had already sorted out half of them, and the other half was still in the bamboo basket. Looking at the bamboo basket full of black truffles, the eldest sister thought the more the better.

Yang Xiuying was even more excited than the eldest brother. She was excited alone before, but now she finally had company.

“Ding, 8 jins of brown-gray stone mushrooms, 560 yuan;

5 jin of matsutake mushrooms, 880 yuan;

6 jin of tricholoma, 240 yuan;

5 catties of black truffle, 2800 yuan;

A total of 4480 yuan.

Then came the crisp sound of money arriving.

Yang Xiuying checked her balance. After buying eggs, flour, rice, and cooking oil, the remaining balance was less than 4920 yuan. Now it has become yuan!

After spending 1000 yuan on daily necessities, Yang Xiuying had a lot of money left over. She then went on to buy eggs. This time, she bought some free-range eggs at 14 yuan per pound, and she bought more than two pounds at once. Now, eggs are the most nutritious food for her daughters, and the girls love to eat them.

The eldest daughter, standing by to keep watch, watched the wild mushrooms and black truffles disappear from the ground, then the eggs appear out of thin air. She exclaimed in delight, "Mom, eggs, eggs!"

Yang Xiuying calmly replied, "I bought two pounds of eggs. Put some in the chicken coop. When the sisters come back, you can pick up the eggs in front of them. Put the rest in the kitchen. We only have four chickens at home, which is not enough for eight people. Bring a few more back from the city tomorrow. Once we have more laying hens, we won't have to buy more."

Taohua followed Yang Xiuying's instructions and carefully placed some eggs in the chicken coop and some in the cooking area. If her sister found that there were too many eggs in the cooking area, she would say that they were sent by Sister-in-law Shufen. They would not ask anyway.

Yang Xiuying is particularly satisfied with Taohua. She doesn't ask too many questions or say too much. She just does what she wants. She has her own ideas, but she won't act on her own.

Well, he is a good, obedient and sensible child.

Yang Xiuying opened the mall and said, "Tomorrow, you and I will go to the city together. I will first see if there is anything I can take to the city to sell."

The money in the mall can only be used to buy things in the mall, but many things in their lives require silver.

She couldn't let her daughters live in the cave forever. She had to build a house, which required labor costs, bricks and tiles, and furniture. April was the time for spring plowing, and she couldn't do it without oxen. It would be best if she could hire someone to do the plowing, and all of these would cost money.

She couldn't just sit there guarding the things in the mall and let her daughters suffer for nothing. She now had to find a way to exchange the things in the mall for money.

Taohua stood obediently by the side, watching Yang Xiuying. She had not expected that her mother would actually take her to the city, which would cost a penny. But then she changed her mind and thought that she had to help her mother cover up and not let anyone discover the secret. She felt that the money was worth it and that the responsibility on her shoulders was heavier.

After thinking for a moment, she said to Yang Xiuying, "Mother, don't sell the rice. We only got half a bag of rice when we separated from Grandma's family. It's not right to sell it in the city. Besides, there are many rice shops in the city, and you might even be forced to lower the price. If someone you know sees us, it will be hard to explain.

Chickens and ducks are not an option. We don’t have many livestock at home now. If we sell them, it won’t be justified even if we have so many eggs.

It would be best if we have something valuable on the mountain here. Even if we find it, I will help my mother cover it up and say that we found it while picking mushrooms."

Looking at the little person in front of her, she slowly analyzed the situation with clear thoughts. Yang Xiuying sighed that this was the result of children from poor families growing up early. The original owner really had a good daughter, but now all seven daughters were hers.

If you want to be rich, plant fruit trees. If you want to get rich, plant Chinese medicinal herbs.

From ancient times to the present, medicinal materials have always been the most valuable. The opening fee for Chinese medicinal materials in the mall alone is high. Now the balance is still 3892, and there are eight people in the family who need to feed.

If you can't afford to buy, you can still grow seeds. Seeds are cheaper than herbs. Plus, the seed subscription fee is only 1000 yuan, and rice is now included in the seed category. This will be available sooner or later.

"Ginseng, coix seed, bupleurum, American ginseng, gastrodia elata... angelica... astragalus... ophiopogon...

Taohua, which of these medicinal herbs do we have here?"

The original owner's memory was only of being bullied by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law every day. She didn't even remember what her husband looked like, so she could only ask her eldest daughter.

Based on the time of rice planting, Yang Xiuying inferred that the climate in Futian Village should be similar to that of the Sichuan Basin in China, but she didn't know how much different it was, as she had only been here for three days.

The eldest daughter raised her head and said to Yang Xiuying: "Mother, have you forgotten? We have angelica in our village. Our ancestor dug up a big angelica in the mountains and sold it for fifty taels of silver.

The old man built a brick house with the money he earned from selling angelica, and became a wealthy man in the village. The villagers also went to the mountain to dig for angelica, but only the village chief dug up a smaller one and sold it for 20 taels of silver.

Some people have dug some up in the mountains over the years, but they were all of poor quality, and I heard they sold for over a hundred coins.

Yang Xiuying clicked the search button on the mall, and two different categories appeared. One was angelica, which was classified as a medicinal food. This kind of angelica was smaller in size and could be seen in ordinary vegetable markets in China. It was used as an ingredient for stewing soup. This should be the one that Taohua mentioned was dug up at the village chief's house, and it was sold for more than a hundred coins.

The second one is classified into the Chinese medicinal materials column. This is the kind dug by the ancestor of the Zhao family, which has great medicinal value.
