Chapter 57: And the Good Stuff
"I know Aunt Six!" Qiao Xiaoru smiled and dragged the foolish husband away.
In fact, Widow Shen is completely overwhelmed, Qiao Xiaoru has a foolish husband in hand, although she doesn't dare to say "I have it in the world", but it is not a problem to find enough food to fill her stomach.
The two men picked some mountain grapes, dug up several yams, and about twenty birds that the foolish man had knocked down with stones.
When they came back with three long strings of thin bamboo, Widow Shen was shocked and pointed out, "This, this- Ah Zhan beat it?" ā
is worthy of being a widow Shen, she knew what was going on at a glance, and she didn't ignore him because she was stupid.
Qiao Xiaoru glanced at the silly husband who was smiling, nodded and smiled: "Well, Ah Zhan hit it with a stone, it's accurate!" Sixth aunt, you have to keep it a secret for me! ā
"Don't worry, I won't say it!" If the Yang family and the Zhang family knew about this, they would have to force Lu Zhan to go up the mountain to hunt every day!
"Thank you, Aunt Six!" Qiao Xiaoru said with a smile.
Widow Shen was not idle, and picked up a lot of dead branches, so that she could make a fire at this time.
The three of them roasted the birds and ate them with wild grapes and fragrant and powdery yams, not to mention how beautiful they were.
Widow Shen saw that the foolish husband handed the roasted bird to Qiao Xiaoru first and said, "Daughter-in-law eat!" couldn't help smiling, and said to Qiao Xiaoru with some envy: "Ah Zhan is really good to you!" Actually, if you want me to say that a husband like Ah Zhan is really good, he can work, listen to you, it hurts! How many women in the world can be blessed with such a husband? Man, you have to learn to be content! When you learn to be content, you will live happily! ā
"That's what Aunt Six said!" Qiao Xiaoru's heart warmed, and she glanced at Silly Fujun, who noticed it and also looked at her, grinning, and Qiao Xiaoru couldn't help laughing.
After the three of them had eaten, Widow Shen said, "Let's rest for a while, and I'll take you to see some good things later!" ā
Widow Shen said that it was a good thing, it must be a good thing, Qiao Xiaoru's curiosity was suddenly hooked, and she nodded with a smile and said yes.
After resting for about two quarters of an hour, Widow Shen got up, "Let's go, the time is a bit rushed, you have to go quickly, otherwise it may be a little late to go out of the mountain!" In the mountains, when it gets dark, the road is not easy to walk! ā
Qiao Xiaoru naturally has no opinion, and the stupid husband has no opinion, as long as he follows his daughter-in-law.
Qiao Xiaoru asked the foolish husband to take the big bag of pine mushrooms picked by Widow Shen together, and picked them up like yesterday.
Widow Shen excused herself twice, and when she saw that this little weight was like nothing for the foolish husband, she no longer refused.
Following Widow Shen, I walked for about half an hour to another mountain.
Qiao Xiaoru never dreamed that the good thing that Widow Shen brought her to see was actually wild white fungus!
Wild white fungus, in ancient times when there was no large-scale artificial cultivation, white fungus was not a common thing, but it was still very valuable.
Thinking of Tian's comments on Widow Shen, Qiao Xiaoru instantly felt messy!
In other words, is a person's good luck really born sometimes? For example, is it really just a coincidence that people like Widow Shen have had good luck for decades?
"Yikes! Sure enough, they've all grown! I found out a few days ago, but unfortunately I didn't pick it before it was grown, so it looks just right, fast, take it off! You know that, right? This thing is called white fungus, don't look good, this is a good thing! The young ladies and ladies of the rich families like this thing the most, saying that it is beauty and beauty! Let's take these off and dry them and sell them, and we will definitely be able to sell them for a good price! I've got a small bag with me here, and I'll give you half of the money when I'm ready to pick it up, and I'll give you half of the money when I'm done!" Widow Shen said happily.
These white fungus are estimated to be almost twenty catties after being picked, how can they be six or seven catties after they are dried, looking at Widow Shen's expression, they will definitely be able to sell them for a good price, and if they have a share, they will share half of it, is it a bit too much?
Qiao Xiaoru hurriedly smiled: "This-we didn't take advantage of Aunt Liu!" When the time comes, you will give us a quarter, and I will have the face to ask for half! After all, this place was discovered by Aunt Liu! ā
Widow Shen glanced at Qiao Xiaoru again, and said with a smile: "You girl is really a solid-eyed child!" If you say so, I'll give you a third of it when you go back! Don't excuse me, your family can't add a lot of things when they move to a new house, just in time! You have to be reluctant to go, and if you have anything good in the future, you will give me a little bit! ā
That's right, Qiao Xiaoru is worried about silver now! He didn't excuse himself, and thanked him with a smile.
These white fungus did not all grow in one place, but were scattered on the large decaying and mossy wood that had fallen to the ground. Some places grow more, others grow less, quite sporadic.
Widow Shen admonished, "Be careful! So the three of them went separately to pick it.
In fact, it is two people who are separated, and the foolish husband refuses to leave his daughter-in-law's side.
The place where these rotten trees fell was not at the bottom of the valley, but on the shady side of the hillside, bound and entangled by shrubs, vines and grass, and climbed everywhere. However, because of the humidity and steep slope, it is easy to fall if you are not careful.
Qiao Xiaoru hit several times, and her body shook several times. I admire this capable sixth aunt even more: she can also bump into this place, it's really rare!
No, Qiao Xiaoru was careful not to wrestle, but Widow Shen didn't notice it for a while, stepped on the air and rolled down the hillside screaming.
Qiao Xiaoru changed color, and she only had time to shout, "Aunt Six!" Secretly complaining in his heart, the foolish man flew over and helped Widow Shen.
Qiao Xiaoru came back to her senses and hurriedly stumbled over, helping Widow Shen and hurriedly said, "Aunt Six, are you okay?" Did it hurt anything? ā
"No injuries! Daughter-in-law, the sixth aunt was not injured! I'm holding her! The foolish gentleman grinned at Qiao Xiaoru.
Qiao Xiaoru nodded with a smile at the foolish husband and praised: "Really? That's great! Ah Zhan is amazing! ā
The foolish man immediately showed a happy expression and was triumphant.
Qiao Xiaoru couldn't bear to hit the stupid husband's enthusiasm, but she was still worried about Widow Shen, and asked with concern.
"IāI'm fine!" Widow Shen let out a long sigh of relief, and her heart finally fell back into her chest. She wasn't hurt, she was just a little frightened, and to her, the little fright wasn't a big deal.
"Ah Zhan, I'm so glad to have you! Whoever said you were stupid, I don't think you're stupid at all! Widow Shen sighed.
The stupid husband only knew how to smile and looked at Qiao Xiaoru: "Daughter-in-law, I'm not stupid!" ā
