Chapter 232 Changes in Yunli Village
Now that everything had been explained, Su He no longer cared about it. She just let Xie look after the place, and she would come back to keep an eye on it later when the villagers came back from the mountain.
When Su Mu and the others went to the town in the morning, Su He had already instructed them to buy some pork and fat when they came back today to make lard, so there was no need to worry about not being able to process the mushrooms harvested today.
Seeing that Su He had arranged everything, Old Man Su was no longer worried. He took the hoe with a smile and said he wanted to go down to the fields to take a look at the crops.
Su Dawu and Su Danian also harnessed ox carts and went to Xujia Village to collect duck eggs.
I have been busy renovating the house and going to the Zhao family to propose marriage these days, and I haven't been to Xujia Village to collect duck eggs for several days.
The workshop has urged them several times, so the two of them must go to Xujia Village today.
Su He sent everyone out the door and watched the ox cart go away before returning to his room to take care of other things.
It was not until almost noon that the Su family's yard gradually became lively again, and the people who had gone into the mountains in the morning came back one after another.
The two aunts that Xie had gone to find in the morning also came over and were helping to pour out the mushrooms in the yard. Xie was in charge of giving them the silver.
Su He said that the job of picking mushrooms is paid on a daily basis. As long as you bring the mushrooms to Su's house, you will be paid ten cents for a basket.
Su He looked at the mushrooms he had picked up. If there were any inferior ones or too many inedible mushrooms, he would not accept them.
This is just the beginning, so these rules need to be enforced strictly, otherwise it will be bad if others follow suit.
Even Su Bai and Su Chi, who came back with the villagers, put down their backpacks and came over to help.
I was busy until Su Mu and Xia Mei came back, and the people in the yard gradually dispersed.
Su Dawu and Su Danian also came back from Xujia Village. The Su family is large and they were looking at the mushrooms piled up in the yard.
Everyone started picking mushrooms together. While picking, Su He introduced different kinds of mushrooms to the two aunts who came to the Su family to work.
If we come across something that is inedible, we will remind them again and again that we must not take any varieties that we are not familiar with.
The two aunts that Xie found were also familiar with the case and were quick and efficient. They also knew that these were the troublesome mushrooms that the people in the village had talked about before.
If you are not careful, it can be a big deal if you make someone sick.
Therefore, they paid special attention to what Su He said. Moreover, the Su family paid high wages, and they couldn't just take the money for nothing without working hard.
"Don't worry, sis. My second brother and I are keeping an eye on the area in the mountains. We have explained to everyone the mushrooms we don't recognize."
Su Chi happily approached Su He and kept talking about what happened in the mountains today.
After entering the mountains, he also contributed a lot to the mushroom matter. Although he was young, he could recognize almost all edible and inedible mushrooms.
When the adults encountered mushrooms they didn't recognize, they would ask him for help. He was very proud today.
Su He looked at his younger brother's arrogant look and nodded in agreement with amusement.
The first day was always a bit hectic. By the time we had selected and washed the mushrooms, it was almost dark.
After the two aunts left, the Su family began to cook dinner, boil mushroom sauce, and prepare soup base for the stall in town tomorrow. The Su family's kitchen was busy for a while.
The next day.
Yunli Village, which is usually bustling, was unexpectedly quiet, with few people walking around. Even if there were a few people occasionally, they were just old men carrying hoes to work in the fields.
After what happened yesterday, everyone in Yunli Village knows that the Su family is really collecting mushrooms, and they charge ten cents for a basket.
As long as they go down the mountain and deliver the mushrooms to the Su family, they can get the money directly without any delay.
Yesterday, many families in the village were busy until midnight and didn't even have time to eat dinner. They went to cut bamboo and went home to weave backpacks overnight.
We have to make a few more. Whenever the family members have free time, they can go into the mountains to pick mushrooms. This basket can earn ten cents.
The mushrooms in the mountains are growing well now. If I pick two or three in a basket a day and save some money in a few days, I can go to the town to buy some meat to satisfy my craving and improve the food at home.
In many families, even the most mischievous children did not play around in the village, but all went into the mountains.
Picking mushrooms is not a hard job. Teenagers are just beginning to play around and can do this better than many adults.
Yesterday I picked some mushrooms and exchanged them for some silver at Su's house and brought them home, but I scared all the adults in the family.
Today, Yunli Village is so quiet that only the rustling sound of the wind can be heard, but it makes people feel more at ease.
After a few days, at dinner time in the village, the smell of meat wafted from many homes. There was no longer the usual noisy sounds of chickens and dogs, but only the joy of the whole family laughing and talking.
By picking mushrooms for the Su family, every household's income has increased a lot. Even the naughty children on weekdays now make appointments to pick mushrooms together every day and will not run around the village all day.
Now when people in the village mention the Su family, no one dares to say a bad word about them. If someone is so short-sighted as to say something bad about the Su family.
Someone will immediately come out and criticize him.
The head of the village saw that the people in the village were harmonious and the living conditions of every household had improved a lot, so he was extremely kind to the Su family.
Even whoever in his family had free time would go into the mountains with him, and they would earn some money every day. His daughter-in-law also went to work in the Su family workshop, and their life became much more comfortable.
When the head of the village had some free time, he would follow Old Man Su to walk around the fields. Seeing the sweet potato seedlings growing well, the smile on his face never stopped.
Looking at the situation, it seems that we can already see that in autumn there will be a bumper harvest like the one in Su’s field last year.
Even Xia Fugui, who had been at odds with the Su family before, now went into the mountains to pick mushrooms.
At first, Xia Fugui was a little worried about the relationship between his family and the Su family. He was afraid that the Su family would not accept his mushrooms, but he didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly.
Seeing him delivering mushrooms, the Su family didn't say anything and offered the same price as other people in the village.
He gave the money several times, and the Su family never gave him less than a penny. Only then did he slowly put his mind at ease.
Even though Li would sometimes grumble to him behind his back, Xia Fugui would scold her back.
They live in the same village, but he was blinded by greed and listened to Li in everything, which is why he and his daughter have been drifting further and further apart. Now Xia Mei ignores him.
But every time they met at the Su family, she no longer treated him with the coldness she had in the past.
Now the Su family doesn't treat him differently. He can be busy picking mushrooms for several months. How much money can he save?
If he continues to listen to Li in everything as he did in the past, not only the Su family, but even other people in the village will not be kind to him.
Xia Fugui could see this point clearly.
