Chapter 411: Selling for Money
After lunch, Jiakang hurriedly put on the mule cart, and then Qiaolian helped put two large baskets full of mushrooms on the cart.
Mushrooms don't weigh them, and if they are replaced with grain, a basket can hold three hundred pounds.
It is estimated that these two baskets of mushrooms are more than 200 catties, and there are a lot of them anyway.
"Slow down on the road, don't worry, go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to find your dad first, and let your dad lead you to the grocery store, remember."
The two baskets were put on the car, Jia Jun Jiahe also sat in the car, Jiakang drove the car to leave, and Qiao Lian did not forget to say a few words.
"Mom, don't worry, I know where Dad's unit is, how many times have I driven our mules, I'm familiar with it, I'm not afraid."
Jiakang turned around and waved his hand at Qiaolian, flicked his whip, and drove the mule cart away.
Qiaolian stood outside and watched until the mule cart had gone far and turned a corner, and then she turned back to the house.
Jiakang is quite stable in driving, and his own mules are also familiar with temperament, and now there are not many cars on the road these days, so there is nothing to worry about.
"Mom, why don't I go to the mountains again, there are still a lot of mushrooms left.
I'll go again, and when I pick it up, aren't we going to make dumplings at night? Send some more to my aunt, so that my aunt and them can try it too. ”
Jiayuan didn't follow her to the county, and at this time she was going to go into the mountains with two soil baskets.
"Yes, I'll go with you, those three are falling asleep at this moment, let's go and go back quickly, and we'll go home when they wake up."
How can Qiaolian rest assured that her daughter will enter the mountain alone, anyway, there will be nothing to do in the afternoon, just sleep less, and simply go into the mountain with her daughter.
In this way, the two mothers packed up, Qiaolian carried the soil basket, Jiayuan followed, and the two of them went into the mountain again and walked towards the small mountain nest.
When I got there, I picked the rest of the mushrooms and filled two baskets.
Several large tree stumps were picked off this time, and the two mothers were finally satisfied with carrying the soil basket home.
When she arrived at home, Qiaolian picked out some good ones, put them in a soil basket, and asked Jiayuan to ride a bicycle to the camp, and send some to the Zhang family and Secretary Han.
Yuhuang mushroom is also a new thing, even if ordinary people go into the mountains, they may not meet it, and they are distributed to a few families who get along well, and the big guys will try it.
Jiayuan rode away, and Qiaolian gathered the rest.
The mushrooms grown in this mountain must be different from those grown in greenhouses, and wild ones will have insects if they are not kept even.
Fortunately, they picked it in time, and most of the elm mushrooms did not have insects, only a few came out early, and some were bitten by insects.
If you do this, you have to pick it up, then wash it, put it in boiling water, blanch it, and then wash it again.
After the mushrooms were packed, I went to the vegetable garden to cut some leeks.
At this time, most of the leeks are jumping, only one ridge, a few days ago Qiaolian deliberately cut once, and cut off the cabbage.
Some people say that this leek can't be cut from the cabbage, and it is easy to die if it is cut, but Qiaolian has tried it in the past two years, and there is nothing wrong, and I haven't seen the leek die.
Therefore, Qiaolian will cut a ridge every summer, just keep the tender leeks to eat.
The leeks were cut back, picked and washed, and then a piece of meat was taken out of the portable warehouse and chopped and chopped.
When Jiayuan came back by bicycle, Qiaolian had already chopped the vegetable filling, the noodles were reconciled, and she was waiting to make dumplings.
"Mom, my brother hasn't come back yet?" Jiayuan asked as soon as she entered the door.
"How can it be so fast? They drove to the county, and they had to sell mushrooms to grocery stores, and if they weighed some money there, they would definitely not come back too soon.
Wait, I guess I'll be home with your dad. Qiao Lian threw the dough into the basin, covered it with a curtain, and put it on the West House kang to wake up.
The old lady of the East House led the three babies to sleep, and she didn't dare to wake up the little ancestors, so she made dumplings in the West House.
Here, Jiayuan hurriedly washed her hands and made dumplings with her mother.
In the county town, Jiakang drove to the supply and marketing cooperative, found Qu Weiyang, and told him what he meant, Qu Weiyang quickly led the children to the non-staple food department and found the person in charge.
The people in the non-staple food department were also very happy when they saw the two large baskets of fresh mushrooms, and immediately found someone to carry the baskets down to the scales.
It happened to be the time to buy vegetables in the afternoon, and there were many people in the non-staple food department.
Just after the scale, the salesman wrote on the blackboard a dime and eight pounds of elm mushrooms, and the person who bought vegetables saw it, and many people came around at once.
"Oh, there are elm mushrooms today, hurry, weigh me two catties, just go back at night and fry them, this is a rarity." Quite a few people shouted that.
The food eaten by the people in the city is all collected from the countryside and supplied by supply.
They buy whatever food is collected here, and generally speaking, there are not many tricks.
This season is a little better, there are all kinds of vegetables and vegetables, but even so, the big guys have enough beans, eggplants and cucumbers.
Leng Buding saw that there were elm mushrooms, and they were all very happy, regardless of the price, anyway, buy two catties and go back to taste the freshness.
The two large baskets of elm mushrooms were not even used for an hour, and they were sold out.
Over there, put the empty basket on the scale, deduct it with the amount just now, and then settle the account, the two baskets are a total of two hundred and twenty-one catties, one catty and one dime, and then calculate the money and hand it to Qu Weiyang.
"Then, this is the money you earned today, take it back and put it away yourself, don't lose it."
Qu Weiyang took the money, didn't even look at it, and handed it directly to Jiakang and asked Jiakang to put it away.
More than 20 yuan, just holding it in his hand, Brother Jiakang and the three of them didn't want to mention how beautiful it was.
"Dad, you still have the money, we eat and drink at home, and we don't need to spend money.
Keep this money to buy my mom some delicious food to replenish her body, my mom has lost a lot of weight recently, she's too tired. ”
Children are sensible and know that this money is useful, so where are they willing to spend it themselves?
When Qu Weiyang heard this, he felt more comfortable, "No, your father has money in his hands, and it's enough to buy delicious food for your mother."
This is what you have earned through your labor, so keep it for yourself, and in the future, you will keep the money you have earned through your labor.
As long as you know that it is hard to earn money and don't spend it indiscriminately, Dad will never care what you do with the money. Qu Weiyang waved his hand, how could he ask for the children's money.
"Let's go, let's go home, it's not too early, your mother must be very busy at home, let's hurry home and help."
Seeing that the children seemed to be going to say something, Qu Weiyang simply ignored it, turned around and went out, pushed out his car, and rode back on the car.
"I'll ride, you guys ride, see which of us is fast." This is nonsense, of course the ride is fast.
As soon as Jiakang saw his father riding the car, he was in a hurry, so he quickly put the money in his arms and put the two empty baskets on the car.
"You two sit down, let's get dad to go." As he spoke, he jumped into the car, flicked his whip, and walked back after Qu Weiyang.
Qu Weiyang deliberately rode slowly, riding slowly in front of the mule cart.
In this way, the master laughed all the way and returned to Shizuizi.
When they entered the door, the dumplings were almost at the end, just to help boil the dumplings, and the big guys were satisfied with their meals in the evening.
