Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

"Oh, I haven't seen this child go out for a long time. Is he well?" An unfamiliar old woman came towards Qing Ning and looked at her.

Qing Ning didn't know what to call her and didn't say anything for a while.

"Yes, Auntie," Qingzhu said quickly, and Qingwu and Qingyu also greeted her: "Hello, Auntie."

"Oh, okay, okay, good boy." Xia responded quickly.

"Hello, aunt." Qing Ning also followed suit and said hello.

"The child has become thinner and looks even smaller after giving birth." Xia's eyes were full of pity.

"Aunt, let's go to the foot of the mountain to collect firewood first." After saying that, the four of them said goodbye to Xia and left.

"Second sister, who is she?" After walking a distance away, Qing Ning asked her second sister.

"She is the wife of Uncle Chen from the village, and our grandmother's eldest sister-in-law." Qingzhu explained to her younger sister.

"Uncle Chen and our grandfather are already three generations apart, so they are considered to be close relatives."

In ancient times, people allowed close relatives to marry, so Qing Ning didn't ask any more questions.

It was about three miles from home to the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, not too far, although the four of them were a little delayed along the way.

Qingwu and Qingyu went to collect firewood, while Qingzhu and Qingning went to cut grass.

Qing Ning said she was going to cut grass but actually went to look for mountain products by herself. She was not interested in cutting grass.

She had been thinking about this for a long time. It rained a few times at this time of year, and it was the time when the tops of the plants in the mountains began to emerge.

She found something good before she had even walked far.

[Oh wow, so many fungus]

On a dead tree lying horizontally, wood ear mushrooms grew in clusters, their juicy appearance was really tempting.

[I really made a profit today, I’ll pick it up and take it back]

Qingning was so happy that she quickly picked the fungus and put it in the basket. It was half a basket full!

[Soup, salad, stir-fry, oh my, my mouth is watering (ˉ﹃ˉ)]

After picking all these, Qingning felt more lively and wanted to go deeper along the road.

Before I had gone far, I heard Qingwu's voice: "Little sister, where are you going?"

He took a few quick steps and pulled her over, looking at her with a cold face: "You coward, don't you know that poisons are the most powerful in spring? You still dare to go to the other side of the mountain? Be careful and you will feel the pain if you get bitten."

Qing Ning lowered her head and didn't dare to say much. This big brother was a little scary when he got angry.

After thinking about it, he knew he was wrong and said with a flattering smile: "Second brother, don't be angry, I won't go any deeper."

As he spoke, he thought of something and handed the fungus in the basket to Qingwu like he was offering a treasure: "Look, what is this?"

Qingyu and Qingzhu also came over when they heard Qingwu's scolding.

Qingyu took a look and asked curiously, "What is this? It's black."

Qingwu and Qingzhu also shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

"Hehe, this is good stuff. It's called black fungus and it usually grows on broad-leaved tree trunks or dead trees. Doesn't it look like a human ear?" Qing Ning took it out and let them take a closer look.

He continued, "Wood ear mushrooms are crunchy and can be eaten cold, cooked in soups, or stir-fried. Not only are they delicious, they can also replenish blood, detoxify, and prevent stroke. It's a good thing, but people with poor stomachs shouldn't eat too much."

"Sister, you are so amazing. You know all this." Qingyu now admires her younger sister very much.

Qing Wu said, "I've heard of this. I heard the steward mention it when I was herding cattle for the official's family."

When Qing Ning heard this, she had an idea in mind: "It seems that they don't completely refuse to eat mushrooms. They must be in high demand."

Qing Ning asked, "Second brother, what is the market price?"

Qing Wu shook his head: "I don't know, let's go back and ask."

Seeing that she couldn't get the answer she wanted for the time being, Qing Ning began to think about going deeper.

"Second brother, fourth brother, and second sister, can we go to the other side of the mountain? I want to see if there is anything else."

Qing Ning said pitifully, looking at them with sparkling eyes.

"No, if my parents find out, I'll get beaten." Qingyu rejected it without waiting for his elder brother to speak.

"Yes, little sister, it's the time when poisonous insects are awake in the mountains, so you can't go." Second sister Qingzhu also expressed her disagreement.

Qing Ning looked at her elder brother, tears welling up in her eyes, looking like a pitiful little thing.

"No, little sister, don't look at me like that. You can't go into the mountains." Qingwu still cruelly rejected her request.

Seeing that they all disagreed, Qing Ning compromised and said, "Then let's look around to see if there's anything else, okay?"

This time they didn't refuse and agreed: "Okay, let's go and take a look."

The four of them put their things in order and went forward together.
