Farming with kids: My deceased husband returns and I spoil him rotten.

They might even mistake her for some kind of witch, capture her, and burn her alive!

If we buy less stock, our income will be less, and we have a family of four who all need to eat and wear clothes.

So, we still need to take it slow and think of some less conspicuous solutions...

Exchange rice and flour for other things to sell?

She was a new mother with no land; where would she get precious rice and flour?

No.

Or, paper? Candy? Toiletries?

These things were probably luxuries in those days. Ordinary people could make do with soapberries and cotton cloth; they wouldn't be willing to spend that kind of money.

It has to be food.

I looked through it for ages...

mushroom?

Shang Qing's eyes lit up; this world had all kinds of shiitake mushrooms.

However, most people in this world, unless they are experts, do not recognize it, and they are afraid that people will die from eating it if they pick it randomly, so they dare not do this business.

At least, there are no farmers in the nearby counties doing this kind of business!

It seems that the wealthy people in the town or city who want to eat it all have to ask someone to buy it from other places.

But she knew these things. She took her daughters to the back mountain to try their luck. If they found them, she could have Liu the Scarface bring them to the shopkeepers.

As long as the relevant cooking precautions are clearly labeled, there's no need to worry about not being able to sell them.

If all else fails, you can keep it for yourself; it's a sure win!

Having made up her mind, Shang Qing felt much better.

Just as I was about to tell my daughters to get some rest, I looked up and realized that it was getting brighter and brighter.

So, he slept from yesterday all day until just now?

"Mother, eat your porridge!" Nian'er brought the porridge over with heartache. She, her elder sister, and her younger sister had all eaten porridge, but her mother had been hungry.

Shang Qing didn't refuse; with the system around, he wasn't afraid of going hungry.

"You all eat too. After you're done, let's go up the mountain together to find wild mushrooms!"

In ancient times, the general term for shiitake mushrooms was "xun".

"Looking for wild mushrooms? Mother, those things can kill you if you're not careful!" Pan'er said with a worried expression. "How about I take my sister to catch fish instead? We can make soup for Mother to help her recover!"

"No way!" Shang Qing refused without even thinking. "How can such a small child go into the water? What if he gets swept away? Just listen to me, let's go into the mountains to find wild mushrooms. I can tell which ones are poisonous and which aren't!"

Pan'er stuck out her tongue. She used to go fishing often, but in the end, all the fish ended up in her cousin's stomach. It was never her mother's or the others' turn...

Shang Qing was a woman of action in her previous life. Although she had just given birth, she couldn't take care of herself at all in her current situation. She found a few bamboo baskets in the woodshed and took her daughters up the mountain.

The little baby is naturally carried in his arms.

Once we reached the top of the mountain, we found that everywhere we looked there were plump and tender mushrooms, both big and small.

Get rich!

"While the sun isn't too strong yet, we quickly went down the mountain. If it gets any hotter, the snakes and insects will come out."

Shang Qing had already started working on it, and with some concern, she instructed her daughters, "Don't go far, you must stay where I can see you when I look up!"

"Also, don't pick the red or purple wild mushrooms, you can pick the others, and I'll sort them."

The daughters were indeed obedient, and with so many wild mushrooms in the area, they could keep busy even if they stayed in one place.

I don't know how much time passed, but I do know that the sunlight gradually became dazzling.

Shang Qing wiped the sweat from his brow, glanced at the heavy basket, and was about to call his daughters to go down the mountain when he heard a scream from above—

"what!"

It's Pan'er!
