"What? Where did the mushrooms come from in town?" Xiao Meng said, "Mushrooms only grow on the mountains."
Seeing his dazed look, Qiao Lian'er pinched his arm hard.
"Just follow me and you'll see. I guarantee you'll come back with a full load."
Xiao Meng thought it was unrealistic, but Qiao Lian'er didn't seem to be joking.
"Okay, I'll go."
Even if there are no mushrooms, it's good to go for a walk to relax. Besides, the family has a little money now, and Grandma gave each of the grandchildren 100 coins to spend as they see fit.
If you see something you like in town, you can buy it.
Seeing the two men carrying baskets out the door, Madam Lü quickly chased after them from the kitchen: "Where are you going?"
"Mom, let's go pick mushrooms," Xiao Meng said.
"It's already evening, your grandparents will be back soon, we'll go again tomorrow."
Qiao Lian'er: "Third Aunt, we're not going up the mountain."
"We'll be back soon."
Qiao Lian'er quickly grabbed Qiao Xiaomeng and ran away.
Looking up again, the Song family had reached the other end of the village road and were almost out of sight.
"Let's keep a certain distance and not let the Song family find out," Qiao Lian'er said.
However, this village road is a fork in the main road, and it is quite wide; you can see them if you look back.
Finally, Qiao Lian'er and Qiao Xiaomeng passed through the woods next to them.
"Lian'er, why are we being so secretive? Why aren't we taking the main road? It's like we're stealing chickens and dogs," Qiao Xiaomeng muttered as he pushed aside the branches blocking his way.
"Shh, keep your voice down, do you see the baskets they're carrying?"
"I see it, what is that?"
"It's the termite mushroom they found in the mountains."
Yes, the Song family also went up the mountain to find mushrooms, and they even got into a fight with the Qiao family.
"But what does this have to do with us?"
Qiao Lian'er said, "Their mushrooms aren't processed like ours, so they won't be able to sell them. We can just pick up the ones that are already there."
Qiao Xiaomeng finally understood what Qiao Lian'er meant, and his mind cleared up immediately.
But he still hadn't figured out how to pick them up.
But with a general direction, he felt more motivated and quickened his pace.
They followed them all the way to the town and saw Boss Song leading Song Daming and Song Xiaoming into Anning Alley.
They also hid at the alley entrance, observing the situation.
The father and his two sons were in high spirits at the thought of receiving several dozen taels of silver soon.
Even though Boss Song had one eye bandaged and became a one-eyed man, his face was still filled with excitement.
With dozens of taels a day, this family will soon become very wealthy, leaving everyone in the village far behind.
They chose the family that looked the wealthiest, the Han family.
The three of them put down their baskets and lifted the tattered cloth and straw on top, revealing clusters of white termite mushrooms.
"Is anyone home?" Old Song called out from inside the door.
