When she got home, Su Mo washed the shepherd's purse she dug, transferred the hazel mushrooms that were dried in the bamboo sieve yesterday to the bamboo sieve, and dried the shepherd's purse on the bamboo sieve.
The weather here is dry. The hazelnut mushrooms that were dried at noon yesterday are almost dry now. It is estimated that they can be put away in the evening after another afternoon of drying.
At this time, the shepherd's purse was no longer fresh and tender, so Su Mo didn't plan to save it for making dumplings, so she simply dried it in the sun to see how cats would eat it during the winter.
After finishing this, Su Mo steamed a large pot of rice, cut some ham, bacon and sausages, and fried three or four pots of vegetables.
Cooking more at one time will save her from being watched by others if she cooks meat too often.
Although every house has its own private plot at the entrance or behind the house, the houses are also widely spaced. But people at this time have very sensitive noses, especially for the smell of meat, and can smell even the slightest bit.
Pour out the portion for lunch, and put the rest of Su Mo into the space for later consumption.
Eating steamed buns every day is quite tiring.
After eating, Su Mo just squinted on the wooden bench in the living room for a while, then went up the mountain in the afternoon, ready to start looking for wild ginseng.
Each plant has its own unique energy, which ordinary people cannot feel, but for wood-type superpowers, this feeling is very obvious.
Just like ordinary people see colors, as long as they are not color blind, every color is clear at a glance.
Su Mo spent two days wandering around the mountain. After looking for a closer mountain, he started to go deeper. After two days of searching, I couldn't find any wild ginseng, but I picked up a lot of hazelnut mushrooms, chestnuts, walnuts and other wild products, including two pheasants and a few pheasant eggs.
Su Mo also found a closer road to the Lijia'ao Cowshed. It took about an hour to get there from the mountain.
Su Mo has also absorbed a lot of wood energy in the past two days, and her powers are on the verge of being upgraded to the mid-level first level.
The plants at this time have no mutations, the wood energy is very pure, and at the first level, the superpower itself is easier to advance.
On the 8th, after Su Mo came down from the mountain at noon, she was not planning to go up the mountain in the afternoon.
Counting the days, Su Tingqian and his wife should go to the cowshed in the next two days. She had to go to the county first to buy a piece of coarse cloth and make cotton clothes for them.
Moreover, her four manuscripts have been polished, and she is going to send them together today.
After lunch, Su Mo wrote another letter to the editor whom she knew well, telling him that she was going to the countryside in the Northeast to work as an educated youth, and asked him to try his best to calculate the royalties for her. If it was a vote, he would give her It's a nationwide ticket, otherwise you won't be able to use it.
After resting for a while, Su Mo pushed the bicycle out. On the way, I also met Li Cuihua.
Su Mo didn't know about the grudge between Li Cuihua and Li Yue'e. When she saw that it was the aunt who greeted her warmly at the brigade headquarters when Lu Changzheng brought her back that day, she called out: "Auntie."
When Li Cuihua saw it was Su Mo, she snorted, turned around and left.
Su Mo was confused. Did she offend this aunt one day without knowing it?
Li Cuihua has been feeling unhappy these days. She thought Lu Changzheng had married a worthless educated youth who went to the countryside. Unexpectedly, this educated youth who went to the countryside turned out to be a relative of Secretary Geng of the commune.
On the day they set up the banquet, Secretary Geng received the ceremony as the representative of the woman's elders. This shows that the relationship between the two families is very close.
If there is a relative who is a secretary, then the Su family must not be a small family, which gives Li Yuee an advantage.
Why was she blinded by shit at that time? She thought Su Zhiqing was not good and tried her best to bring them together.
It’s really a waste of money!
We can only hope that this Su Zhiqing will be a useless person in the future, so that her little daughter-in-law can still dominate her.
Su Mo didn't know about Li Cuihua's entanglement. Seeing Li Cuihua turn around and leave, Su Mo also stepped on her bicycle and left in a hurry.
Still at a remote place on the road to the county town, Su Mo took out a bamboo basket of apples and a bamboo basket of pears that had been prepared in the space, and hung one basket on each side of the back seat of the car.
There are two bamboo baskets prepared by Li Yue'e.
Now with one basket on each side, the bike is balanced and much easier to ride than last time.
Su Mo stepped directly to the door of the county supply and marketing cooperative, peeked in, and when Sister Liu looked over, she quickly waved to her.
When Sister Liu saw Su Mo, she quickly prepared everything the customer wanted. After clearing the settlement, she excused herself to go out.
"Hey, sister, I haven't been here for a long time. Your niece misses you." There were many people at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, and Sister Liu greeted them with a smile.
"It's time to go up the mountain to harvest the autumn harvest. I just happened to pick up some mountain products. I'll get some for you to try." Su Mo also came up, making an excuse casually.
In Qingxi County, many relatives in the countryside send mountain goods to their relatives in the city, but no one thinks it's a big deal.
"Oh, why are you so embarrassed? Hurry up and sit at home." Sister Liu smiled and led Su Mo home.
After entering the small courtyard of Sister Liu's house and closing the door, Sister Liu said: "Sister, why are your apples so good and my relatives come to ask about them every day?"
"Something at home delayed me, so I came right away as soon as I was free." Su Mo said.
"Are these two baskets of apples?" Sister Liu asked, about to lift the coarse cloth covering them.
"A basket of apples and a basket of pears. Do you want the pears?"
"Hey, why are there so few apples?" Sister Liu felt a little pity. These apples were very popular. She sold them for 7 cents per catty and they were all gone on the same day.
"The apples are good this year, but everyone is reluctant to exchange them. They have to keep them for themselves." Su Mo joked, "The pears are also good this year. I also exchanged a basket. Do you want it?"
Although there are many fruits in her space, the quantity of each variety is actually not large. It is best to sell them in combination. If one of them is sold out, it will be unavailable when you need it.
Sister Liu opened the cloth of another basket and saw that the white pears were also big and yellow, exuding a sweet fragrance, and the quality was no worse than apples. She immediately made a decision: "Sister Liu wants this pear too. But this pear It’s a little cheaper than apples. The supply and marketing cooperative sells it for 40 cents per catty, and the eldest sister will give you 45 cents.”
"Okay." Su Mo had no objection. For wholesale, this price is not bad.
"Sister, I bought a large scale a few days ago. Let's weigh it this time and won't take advantage of you." The basket gained two or three kilograms a few days ago.
The scales at this time were not the kind of standing scales of later generations, but the kind where a weight was hung on a long pole, and a person had to bear the weight to weigh things.
Su Mo and Sister Liu weighed the two baskets of fruits together. After removing the weight of the bamboo baskets, the apples weighed 56 kilograms and the pears weighed 53 kilograms. Apples cost 5 cents per catty, and the income is 28 yuan; pears cost 45 cents per catty, and the income is 23.85 yuan.
I earned a total of 51.85 yuan from selling fruits today.
[PS. The price of fruits is based on the price of Hunan Changsha Supply and Marketing Cooperative in 1971. Pears in Northeast China may be slightly cheaper. But white pears themselves are relatively expensive, so they probably won’t be much cheaper. 】
After selling the fruits, Su Mo and Sister Liu went back to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a new piece of coarse cloth and two kilograms of kerosene. When she was eating at Li Yuee's house two days ago, she heard her mention that the kerosene was almost gone. , I took a pound back to her by the way today.
A piece of coarse cloth cost 15 yuan, and kerosene cost 42 cents per pound. Two pounds cost 0.84 yuan for extra tickets.
Su Mo is not going to the black market today. She has to rush back to make cotton clothes. After going to the county post office to mail the letter containing the manuscript, Su Mo rode directly home.
