Chapter 20 Ding Dong, detected...
Zhushan is a remote place. You have to go through most of Shanshui Village to get back from Zhushan.
Sun Jinhua looked at her daughter Zhaodi's thin body carrying a large backpack full of bamboo mushrooms, and her gums turned outward with a smile.
The women under the big tree at the entrance of the village were peeling rice with chicken heads in their hands and chatting.
Seeing Sun Jinhua coming back happily, they all showed a surprised look.
Aunt Li glanced at the bamboo mushrooms in the basket behind Fan Zhaodi and praised: "Jinhua, the sun is not very high yet, and you and your mother have picked up a full bamboo basket of bamboo mushrooms. You are really quick and nimble."
"You two got up early, you are diligent people." Aunt Li's wife Feng Dayan was surprised at Sun Jinhua's transformation, but she still praised her sincerely.
Everyone in Shanshui Village knew what Sun Jinhua was like in the past.
Unexpectedly, after the family was divided yesterday, Sun Jinhua immediately became diligent.
Sun Jinhua, who had never been praised before, suddenly got recognition, and her mouth was almost grinning to the back of her ears.
She raised her chin and snorted: "What's that? I'm diligent in many ways, and you all look down on me!"
This was already unpleasant to hear, and it also knocked everyone down with one stick.
Aunt Li and Feng Dayan looked at each other, lowered their heads and continued to peel the chicken head rice in their hands, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, the other women lowered their heads and worked hard at their jobs.
They couldn't afford to offend those who were not in tune, but they could afford to avoid them!
The autumn harvest was completed some time ago, and the grain was stored in the warehouse. The big thing hanging in the hearts of the whole village was settled, and everyone was relieved.
But it was only slightly relieved. People who make a living from the fields will not let go of any food that can be stored. This is already an instinct deep in their bones.
Just after the autumn harvest, the children went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and wild fruits, and the men went to the water to pick chicken head fruits. They peeled them one by one and waited for them to dry thoroughly. It was also a kind of food.
In the coming winter and the lean months next year, eating them together can at least fill your stomach.
Sun Jinhua waited for a long time, but when no one responded, she snorted angrily and turned away.
The women sitting in the shade of the tree raised their heads one by one when they saw Sun Jinhua walking away.
Wang Guifen, the daughter-in-law of the village chief, frowned and said in confusion: "I just saw Sister-in-law Fan go out. How come she came back with a full basket so quickly?
The basket behind Zhaodi looks strangely big. I'm afraid there are more than ten kilograms of bamboo mushrooms."
Sun Jinhua has never been a capable woman in Shanshui Village. Today, she picked mushrooms too fast.
"Well, maybe she just happened to come across a mushroom nest? Now she has lost the second brother's family to help her. There is no one close to her in the village. Who will give her money?" Aunt Zhang curled her lips and said indifferently.
Others heard the same thing.
Sun Jinhua never gets enough of taking advantage. She can pick up some vegetables from other people's gardens if she sees them growing well. Most people in the village have experienced this. Who would give her mushrooms?
"It is good for Fan Laoer's family to split up the family. It may also be a good thing for Sun Jinhua's family. Look, isn't Sun Jinhua more diligent?" Aunt Li sighed.
"Fan Dazhu is sixteen years old and has reached the age of marriage. Sun Jinhua should consider her children. After all, when it comes to marriage, who's parents are willing to marry their daughter to a mean man?" As an experienced person, the old Granny Xu understood.
Li Tiantian, the youngest daughter of the Li family, snorted in disapproval.
This caused her mother to roll her eyes.
She whispered quietly: "Grandma Xu is right in only one point. Sister Fan will consider her son, but she will never consider her daughter.
Look at Zhaodi, she is only seven years old, and she is still asked to carry the bamboo basket. Sister Fan walks with empty hands. Doesn't she feel guilty?"
Auntie Li pursed her lips and said on the bright side: "Take it slowly. At least without Fan Er's family to work, she has started to work by herself.
It's not that Zhaodi is left to work alone, so it's acceptable."
"That's because Zhaodi is too young and can't do it alone. Zhaodi's life in the village was already hard, and I'm afraid it will be even harder in the future." Li Tiantian felt a little sad.
It's not easy for women in this world, and it's even harder for Zhaodi who was born in Sun Jinhua's belly.
Auntie Li knew that her daughter was telling the truth and sighed.
Wang Guifen said quickly: "That's her mother, what can we do? No matter how bad it is, we can only bear it."
"You young people like to think badly of others. I think Fan Dajia is trying to change for the better. For example, how long did it take two people to pick that basket of mushrooms?
She is doing well now! You are just making blind guesses." Granny Xu, the oldest person in the crowd, said.
"Hurry up and peel the chicken head rice! Dry it and store it. When food is scarce in the future, use it to make soup. It is both a dish and a meal. It is very cost-effective."
"I heard that many wealthy families in Guangning Prefecture like to eat this thing. Why don't we sell it?"
"Don't think about it. My boss has asked around. People like to eat it fresh. In this day, it can't be kept after peeling it. If no one buys it, it will go bad after going back and forth.
Besides, the entrance fee to the city is two cents. If it can't be sold, won't it be a loss of two cents?"
"That's two cents! It's gone once you enter the city. How can I bear to give it up?"
"Besides, this thing is everywhere in the water. The young men and women of those wealthy families just want to have something new. There are rice and white flour. Who would eat this seriously?
Only farmers like us use it to fill their stomachs."
"Yes, yes! There are so many worthless things. Who would spend money to buy them!"
......
"Ding Dong, 23 jin of authentic wild pollution-free pure hand-peeled chicken head rice detected, are you selling it?"
Shui Qing, who was rushing to Sun Jinhua's house, paused.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Fan He asked in a low voice.
Shui Qing couldn't tell the truth, of course.
She glanced at the women who gathered under the shade of the trees in the distance to do manual work, and said slowly: "It's okay, I walked a little too fast, just take a break."
Even if the mushrooms were not robbed, they would be gone by October, so of course we have to find more things to sell.
We have to make money while there is something to sell!
Not to mention that she is in urgent need of money, even if she is not short of money, she will not make money!
Besides, no one in this world complains about having too much money.
Shui Qing called up the system mall and saw a familiar picture.
One hundred and thirty-one jin of fresh wild pollution-free pure hand-peeled fresh chicken head rice-hand-peeled is more expensive than machine-peeled by dozens of pounds.
But it is not machine-peeled these days!
After drying, it is called Gorgon fruit, thirty-nine per jin.
Shuiqing grew up in Jiangnan since childhood, and is very familiar with chicken head rice!
Fresh is called chicken head rice, and dried is called Gorgon fruit.
Just like when fresh it is called longan, and when dried it is called longan.
And chicken head rice is probably one of the very few foods that is worthless after being dried.
When fresh, it is full of moisture and weighs, and is expensive;
After drying, the weight is reduced, the dehumidification effect is good, and it is laborious to stir and dry it, and the result is that the price is barely a fraction of the fresh one!
Whether to buy fresh or dry goods, even a fool knows how to choose.
What is worrying now is how to buy chicken head rice from the women in Shanshui Village.
And what price is better to buy it at.
