Da Song a knife

Chapter 46 Hurry Up
Seeing that the construction of the ferry would start in two days, Zhang Sijiu would certainly not miss the opening time, so in the past two days, Zhang Sijiu began to desperately prepare materials.

Chine roots are plentiful near the water, but digging them up is not easy.

Fortunately, both China Merchants Bank and Komatsu can be the main labor force.

The main thing is to dig out the tender roots of the chrysanthemum root, wash it and chew it in your mouth. It will have a sweet taste in itself. When you are tired of digging, you can wash and chew two roots, which is also very happy.

And Zhang Sijiu took the opportunity to squeeze all the fungus on the mulberry tree.

She even found many fungus growing densely on a dead mulberry tree.

This mulberry tree is wild, and it's right next to Zhang's bamboo grove.

Taking advantage of Zhang Xiaoshan's stay at home, Zhang Sijiu asked Zhang Xiaoshan to cut down the mulberry tree and drag it home.

The mulberry tree was rotten, and Zhang Xiaoshan almost thought it was going to be used as firewood.

Fortunately, Zhang Sijiu was quick to stop him, and asked Zhang Xiaoshan to put the wood in a cool place, and then covered it with dry wheat straw.Before covering, I also sprayed some water on the wood—well, let Xiaosong spray it with his mouth a little bit to make it even.

Finally, the spray made Xiao Song's eyes stare, and she called to stop, covered the wood with grass, and covered the wood tightly.

Both Xu and Zhang Xiaoshan wondered, "What is this for?"

Zhang Sijiu explained: "Agaric fungus grows on it. I heard from Sanlang that he read in books that some people grow fungus in other places, so that's probably how they do it. I don't know if it will work, let's just try."

Really casual try.

It’s best to grow fungus, but it’s not good. After a while, it’s also good to chop firewood.

Xu couldn't help laughing: "Why is it so easy? If it's so easy, why didn't anyone do it before?"

Zhang Xiaoshan felt that his daughter-in-law was right.But he has always been tolerant and kind to the children, waving his hand like a cattail fan: "But it's okay, just treat it as a joke."

Children, they just like to play.As long as you don't cause trouble, play casually.

Mrs. Yang did not comment on this matter, but only said: "One kick in the sky, one kick in the ground."

Zhang Sijiu pretended not to hear it, and still looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and Xu Shi with a smile, and at the same time rejoiced in his heart: Although not all people in a family are enlightened, but the person who has the main voice is enlightened, then it is really very happy. happiness!
After the stalks were almost finished, Zhang Sijiu asked them to pick out the tender hearts and tender leaves of the light bamboo leaves.

This works best when it's fresh.

Finally, Zhang Sijiu took the time to go to the city and sold all the dried fungus to restaurants.

Fungus is more expensive than mushrooms, but the ones that grow on these mulberry trees are not as good as the ones sold by Orion on the high mountain, so the price is not too high. It is only because of dry goods, so although there are only a few taels in total, they sold a full six Ten texts.

Adding the 27 dollars that Zhang Sijiu had saved before, she went straight to the sugar shop and bought all of them the cheapest yellow rock candy.

These days, there is already snow-colored granulated sugar in the sugar shop, which is a little different from the white sugar of later generations, but it is not too different.

But the price was expensive, more than a hundred coins a catty, Zhang Sijiu couldn't afford it at all.

The cheapest ones are brown sugar and caramel sugar, followed by rock sugar—large chunks of irregular rock sugar, which still contain certain impurities, showing a light yellow color, and can be crushed when used.

Brown sugar and caramel sugar are heavy in color, and the taste is not as good as rock sugar, and it is not easy to store, so Zhang Sijiu gritted his teeth and bought yellow rock sugar at [-] yuan per catty.

Yes, eighty texts.

This is still the result of soft and hard bargaining. Originally, they sold 84 articles.

For just four pennies, Zhang Sijiu and the boss spent a full two quarters of an hour.

In the end, the boss couldn't match Zhang Sijiu's patience, so he agreed impatiently.

Zhang Sijiu felt that this was the most expensive candy he had ever bought.

When it's so expensive to give money, my heart is bleeding.

In the end, Zhang Sijiu gritted his teeth and spent another four fen to buy some caramel cubes—it was said to be caramel cubes, but in fact it was already sticky in the hot weather.The impurities inside are even more visible to the naked eye.

But this is already the most extravagant snack for kids.

After Zhang Sijiu returned home, he called over Xiaosong, Xiaobai, and Zhaoyin, each of whom stuffed a piece.He also gave Xiaosong and Xiaobai one piece each, and asked them to give it to Xu and Yang.

As for Zhang Xiaoshan—there was nothing extra, Zhang Sijiu felt that men probably didn't like sweets either, so he simply ignored him.

However, although the taste of caramel is not very good, even the aftertaste is a little sour, and there are impurities in it, Zhang Sijiu still felt happy from the bottom of his heart when the candy entered his mouth——

The sweet taste, from the mouth, seems to go all the way to the heart.

Zhaoyin kept grinning and giggling from the moment the candy came into his mouth, and his feet kept dangling.

The two sat side by side in a small ditch, their feet soaked in the running water, and their mouths were sweet, not to mention how refreshing it was.

Seeing Zhaoyin's happy look, Zhang Sijiu couldn't help shaking his legs.

The icy cold water hits every part of the feet, and a slight shake can bring a cluster of water splashes.

The gurgling water flows into the distance, as if taking away the restlessness, depression and exhaustion in people's hearts.

Zhaoyin looked at Zhang Sijiu with envy in his eyes: "Jiu Niang, your second aunt is really kind. You are really good too. You are as good as your father. You can make money at such a young age."

Zhang Sijiu was not familiar with his own father in this world. When he heard this, his heart moved, and he urged Zhao Yin: "Tell me about my father."

So Zhaoyin said everything he knew.

It's obviously an ordinary story about a rural boy unwilling to be poor and trying to earn money to start a small business, but Zhang Sijiu still listens with gusto.

It's so good, it's so good to be so serious and work hard to live.

At the end, Zhang Sijiu smiled slightly, nodded and said: "My father is really good, he is my role model."

Zhaoyin was a little frustrated: "Why am I so stupid. My parents also..."

Thinking of his eccentric mother who hardly cared about her father, Zhao Yin felt even more envious: "Jiu Niang, if only I were also your child."

Zhang Sijiu couldn't help laughing: "Zhaoyin, sometimes, it doesn't matter whether others are good or not. It's good to meet good ones, but you can't meet bad ones, so you can't live well." Right? Let’s work hard and earn money, so we can live well in the future.”

Zhaoyin said that he was comforted, and was also beaten up: "Yes! You said that very well! I will definitely work harder!"

"Okay, work harder." Zhang Sijiu bumped Zhaoyin's shoulder with his shoulder.

Zhaoyin laughed like a morning glory.

Xiaosong and Xiaobai also ran out, their eyes sparkling: "Sister, mother and grandma both said that candy is very sweet and delicious! We will earn money to buy it in the future!"

Zhang Sijiu nodded: "Okay, let's buy it after we earn some money!"

But next time, when she has money, she wants to buy a toothbrush first, so as not to eat sugar and decay her teeth.

Because of the use of branches, the taste is really not good.

　I'm on my way today, so I won't add more.
