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

The second son squatted beside the fourth son and explained, "Today, all the wild mushrooms that my mother brought to the city were sold. She bought a large piece of pork and my grandfather also sent some pork. When I cooked, I put some extra pork in it, saying that it was to entertain all the uncles and to satisfy your cravings."

Yang Qingfeng, who was standing next to the second brother, took a sip of the vegetable and egg soup and smiled without saying a word.

Can wild mushrooms be sold for money? I studied in Nanyang Prefecture for several years, and I have never seen anyone selling wild mushrooms for money.

Yang Qingfeng was thinking in his mind that when he returned to Yangliu Town, he would take on some letter writing and book copying work to earn some money to send to his sister. Now was the time when his sister needed his support.

Now I am fifteen years old and still just a student. If I pass the examination to become a scholar, or even a juren...

Forget it... I would be satisfied if I could pass the examination to become a scholar, I dare not even think about passing the examination to become a juren.

Initially, my father sent me to a private school because he just wanted to have someone in the family who could read...

Yang Xiuying looked at the handsome young man from the side. His expression was sometimes serious, sometimes cheerful, and occasionally he even smiled foolishly. Could it be that he had a girl he liked?

Yang Xiuying looked at her father who was holding a bowl of white rice and was reluctant to eat it.

Today, Yang Kui brought millet and pork. In this era, ordinary people ate black noodles, but Yang's father brought millet for himself. Ordinary people could only eat pork during the Chinese New Year. It can be seen that Yang Kui was willing to spend money on his daughter Yang Xiuying.

How could she rely on her parents for support? She earned more than six taels of silver from selling wild mushrooms and angelica today. If she gave the money to Yang's father, he would definitely not take it given his temper. Her eyes fell on Yang's father's clothes that were full of patches, and the long gown on Yang Qingfeng was also washed white.

When I have more money, I will make new clothes for Yang's father, Yang's mother, and Yang Qingfeng, which can be regarded as filial piety to the original owner.

Her eyes fell on her eldest daughter Taohua and she waved, "Taohua, come here for a moment. I have something to tell you."

As soon as Taohua heard her mother calling her, she ran over with the pottery bowl in her hand.

"Mother, what's the matter?"

Yang Xiuying pulled Taohua to a secluded place where no one was around and told her about her idea of recruiting villagers to buy milk apples and bracken.

Taohua held the ceramic bowl in her hand and forgot to eat. The milk fruit that grew all over the mountains of Futian Village was the most common wild fruit. The milk fruit did not taste delicious, but some poor families would pick some during the slack season, firstly to give their children snacks, and secondly to dry them, which they could also eat when there was a shortage of food.

Bracken is also a kind of wild vegetable. In the past, the sisters would pick some and bring them back. Later, my mother didn’t like to eat this kind of wild vegetable, so the sisters stopped picking bracken and picked other kinds of wild vegetables instead.

Taohua asked uncertainly, "Mother, are you sure you want to take the milk fruit fern treasure too?"

The two sisters often eat the wild mushrooms they picked before. The wild mushrooms in spring are delicious and can be used to make soup.

Chickens and ducks love to eat black truffles, so the treasure might be collected to feed the chickens and ducks in heaven.

But milk fruit and bracken are different.

The taste of these two things is actually not very good. The milk fruit is dry and the fresh fern has a bitter taste. They need to be rinsed with water and soaked for a while before eating to remove the bitterness.

Most people don’t have the time to process it, so they just put it in the paste and cook it. As long as it’s edible, it’s fine, no matter whether it tastes good or not.

A'niang didn't like the bitter taste of bracken, so she asked her sisters not to pick bracken.

Yang Xiuying nodded and said, "I do want to collect that treasure. The price of bracken is even higher than that of milk fruit. Fresh bracken is even more expensive than dried ones."

I like to eat both milk apple and fern.

After washing the fresh milk fruit, sprinkle it with sugar and place it in a sealed jar. Then put it in the refrigerator and refrigerate it. Take it out and eat it after a week. It is cool, sour and sweet, and the juice is so unforgettable after taking a bite.

After fresh bracken is boiled to remove the bitterness, it is added with dried chili bean paste and stir-fried with meat. It is fresh and delicious and is a great dish to go with rice.

Natural, pollution-free, wild milk apples and bracken are even rarer. In China, most of them are grown in greenhouses, which not only spray them with large amounts of pesticides but also lose their original freshness and fragrance.

Yang Xiuying said, "Where your father went, people were willing to spend money on food. There, they even sold rice for over ten yuan a pound. The grains were long and thin, and you could smell the fragrance from far away."

Taohua opened her eyes wide and took a mouthful of rice that cost two yuan per pound.

The white rice in the bowl that costs two yuan per pound is so delicious, what does the rice that costs more than ten yuan per pound taste like?

When I make some money, I will buy a pound to try.

Not only does she now dare to cook eggs for her sisters in the morning, she even dares to buy rice at more than ten yuan per pound.

"Mother, how are you going to collect the milk apples and bracken? And if we exchange the treasure for these things, will there ever be a day when all the things are gone?"

Yang Xiuying was stunned for a moment. She had not considered this question yet. She only believed that the system was invincible.

She consoled him, "Think about it, since your father was able to obtain such a treasure, then other gods can too. Perhaps the milk fruit and fern we have here are exactly what they need, while they have more rice than they can eat. Isn't everything in this world about balance?"

Just like the sun and the moon rise in the east and set in the west. As we exchange one thing for another, the energy of this treasure is balanced. Yes, this is called the conservation of energy."

Taohua's heart relaxed. She happily ate the white rice in her bowl and smiled: "Then let's harvest more milk fruit and bracken to keep it energy-conserving."

She also hopes that her mother can make more money so that her sisters can have enough food to eat.

"Mother, how do we collect it? How much is it per pound?"

Today, my mother earned more than six taels of silver from selling wild mushrooms and angelica. Is she going to use that money to buy milk apples and bracken for everyone?

Yang Xiuying had an idea of how to buy milk apples and bracken from the villagers. She could do it through bartering, just like in Yangliu Town, a small town where villagers would bring their surplus goods to the market to exchange, such as rice for hens, hens for pork, and so on.

They can also follow suit, which can save a lot of trouble. The items in the mall have to be sold in the city to get silver. Why don’t they directly exchange the items in the mall with the villagers?

Eggs and rice are both precious things, and the things that villagers can get by working in the mountains are naturally not worth much.

Yang Xiuying looked at the peach-blossom bowl of white rice and said, "Let's trade the rice for milk apples and bracken."
