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

Since they'd made a good profit today, Qing Ning went back to Uncle Chang Hai and showed him the blueprints. Now that they had enough money, they could build the mushroom house, oven room, and warehouse. They'd also enclose the mushroom processing center with a brick wall and open a side door for later use when the other workshops were built.

Changhai listened to Qingning's new request, and seeing Qingning's generosity, he envied Chen Changjiang even more. His second brother was truly blessed. He looked at the drawings, re-estimated the materials and manpower required, and hurriedly arranged for people to purchase more materials.

Returning to my own courtyard from the workshop, I could hear the hustle and bustle of the two courtyards from a distance. My family's barn was used to store mushroom spawn, so I borrowed my uncle's yard.

"Qingning is back." Everyone in the yard greeted her with a smile, and Qingning called everyone one by one.

"Little sister, you're back. Lunch will be ready soon. There are many people helping at noon today, so we're rolling noodles. You just sit there and wait for a while, then you can eat." Second sister Qingzhu was busy in the kitchen alone, so Qingning had no time to sit around and follow behind her to help.

"Second sister, guess how much this sauce sold for today?" Qing Ning leaned in front of Qing Zhu and whispered.

"How much? Ten taels?"

When Qingzhu saw that his younger sister didn't respond even though he had said ten taels, he stopped what he was doing and looked at her.

"Second sister, your guess was wrong. It was sold for eighty taels." As he said this, he gestured with his hand in front of Qingzhu.

"How much? Eighty~~Wuwuwu" Qingning saw Qingzhu's reaction so big, and quickly covered her mouth.

After Qingzhu reacted for a while and calmed down, he gestured for him to put his hand down.

"Little sister, are you serious? Those three small jars of sauce were sold for eighty taels." As she said this, she looked outside with concern. This was really an astronomical figure. She had never seen so much money in her life. Even her grandma had probably never seen it in her life.

"Sister, don't be so excited, really."

"My dear, eighty taels."

Qingzhu had lost interest in her work and sat on the stool in a daze. Seeing her second sister like this, Qingning had no choice but to take over the work and let her second sister digest it.

The noodles were ready soon, and I chopped some green onions. We didn't have much sauce left, so I just dumped it all in the pot so everyone could have a taste. I called my family and helpers to eat. There wasn't enough room at home, so some stood and some squatted. Everyone ate their noodles in silence, the only sound being the slurping of noodles.

"Mrs. Tan, what do you put in the noodles? Why are they so fragrant and spicy? They taste so good." One person spoke, and the others followed suit.

Tan smiled and replied, "This is the sauce that Qing Ning made with the mushrooms. It has spices and peppers in it. We like it too."

"This is the sauce made with shiitake mushrooms. Wow, it's so delicious! We're in for a treat today."

"That's right, Qing Ning is really skillful and smart. She can even make such delicious food."

Everyone praised him half flatteringly and half sincerely.

"That's right, my girl is the best." Old Mrs. Chen was very happy. Her granddaughter was so outstanding that she, as a grandmother, was also proud of it.

The group quickly finished their meal and went back to work. The two of them cleaned up the kitchen, and Qingning took Qingzhu and went out carrying a basket.

"Sister Qingzhu, Sister Qingning, wait for us."

When they turned around, they saw Qingxi and Qingye from Qingyu's family running towards them.

"What happened, brothers?"

"Where are you going? We'll go with you." Without waiting for Qingning to speak, he took the backpacks from the two of them.

"Brother Qingye, don't you have to go fishing today?" Qingzhu asked casually when he saw Qingye was there too.

"Grandpa and grandma said that my eldest and second uncles were not at home because my eldest grandma was busy, so they asked me to come over to help. As soon as I saw that there was no need for help in the yard, I followed Yu Ge'er out." After saying this, he chuckled.

"I thought, while it's still season, I'd pick some young bamboo shoots to make pickled bamboo shoots, and dig up some wild onions and grass heads to make pickles."

After hearing this, the few people stopped asking questions and followed him into the bamboo forest. It didn't take long before they filled the two backpacks and still had a lot in their hands.

On their way back, they passed the village river. The water was shimmering, ripples forming in layers as the wind blew. Qing Ning walked towards the river, stretched his neck to peer into the water, and saw a large number of snails on the river bank. He immediately wanted to go down and catch some.

Qingzhu grabbed her and glared at her angrily: "You almost died last time you fell into the water. You forgot so quickly and dared to go to the river."

Seeing the second sister like this, knowing that she was anxious, she immediately smiled and said, "Oh, sister, I just like seeing the big and numerous screws."

"I think you are greedy. Is your family short of meat?" Qingzhu was really disappointed with his sister. Why was she so greedy?

"Sister Qingzhu, don't talk about the lotus pods. I'll go back and get a net basket to catch the snails. You don't have to go deep into the water. Just stand by the water and throw and pull." After saying that, he ran away with the basket on his back. When he passed by Qingning's house, he delivered the basket to her and put it away, then went home to get the net basket.

When Qingbai and Qingyu saw Qingye taking the net basket, they took all the things they picked back home and carried the empty basket back. Not long after, the four of them saw Qingye running towards them with a net basket.

"Come with me. The water is deep here, so I'll take you to a shallower part."

A few people followed Qingye and found a shallow water section to stop, then carefully walked down the embankment and stood by the water.

Qingye was worried and reminded a few people not to play in the water or else they would get into trouble. They all agreed.

The basket was shaped like a boat, with a long hemp rope tied to the center handle. Qingye tied a knot at one end of the rope and tied it shallowly around his left wrist to prevent the basket from being thrown over his head and into the water. After throwing the basket down, he pulled it back with both hands, washing away the mud and revealing some small fish and shrimp, which were still alive. He poured these into the backpack and continued to catch the next net.

Qing Ning looked eager to try, so excited. This is much faster than picking up the screws one by one by hand. Just throw, pull and wash and you will get a bunch.

Qingzhu saw her sister's excited expression and knew what she was going to do. She pulled her over and glared at her in warning. Qingning had no choice but to stand aside and give in. Is it true that younger siblings are born with a fear of their older sisters? Is this the legendary bloodline suppression? Her second sister was terrifying when she got angry.

The two of them were so focused on watching that they didn't notice Qing Bai approaching.

"Wow, the mantis shrimp is going to bite you." Suddenly a hand stretched out, holding something in the hand. The two of them didn't see it clearly and were frightened. Qingning fell directly to the ground.

Qingzhu reacted and grabbed Qingbai and started beating him up.

"Oh, oh Qingzhu, Qingzhu, please spare me, your brother. I won't dare to do it again. I won't scare you anymore." Qingbai was beaten and begged for mercy repeatedly.

Qingzhu clapped his hands until they hurt, then stopped, then stepped on them in anger. Qingye and Qingyu couldn't help laughing. Why bother provoking his second sister for no reason?

Qingzhu helped Qingning up and brushed the dirt off her body.

"Brother Qingbai, what did you just pick up?" Qingning didn't see it clearly at first, but saw out of the corner of her eye that it looked like a shrimp.

Qingbai handed over the thing in his hand: "Here, this is the mantis shrimp."

Qing Ning couldn't help laughing when she saw it. Qing Zhu looked at her sister strangely, thinking that she was scared. She glared at Qing Bai fiercely, making Qing Bai shrink his neck and dare not look at her. This sister was so fierce.

"Brother Qingbai, are there many crayfish in this river?"

"Yeah, a lot. Sometimes we can pick up a lot to feed the chickens and ducks."

"Aren't you going back to cook it?" Several people looked at Qingning with an expression that was hard to describe. Why did this little girl always think about eating?

"You wouldn't dare eat this. Look how scary it looks, just like a crayfish. That's why we call it a crayfish shrimp." Qingbai pointed to its two claws and said, "These two claws can really hurt when you pinch them."

"Little sister, look, are the screws in this basket enough?" Qing Ning wanted to say something when she heard Brother Qingyu calling her from the side, and tilted the basket slightly for her to see.

"So many? That's enough."

A full basket, enough to eat. The limes made the crayfish forgotten, and the group carried today's snails home.
