In the hut, Lin Guoqing installed a row of shelves from top to bottom. Chen Chunhua placed as many mushroom bags as possible on the bottom shelf. That height was enough for Lin Shugan to reach.
Although she rejected Lin Guoqing's suggestion to put it in the corner of the main room, she actually didn't quite understand why it had to be placed on the shelf.
I remember watching TV dramas and agricultural channels, where mushroom farmers had rows of racks that didn't even touch the ground. They said it would cause pollution.
She didn't understand, but she knew that other people must have gained their experience through taking detours, so she just had to follow them.
There is an agricultural plastic watering can at home. Xiao Shu used to drag the watering can to water the vegetables in the backyard every day during the day. Now his mother has assigned him a new task.
There was no light in the hut, so Chen Chunhua asked Lin Shu to water the plants every morning and again before dark.
Don't pour too much water. Just carry the pot from beginning to end and don't stop to pour more water.
Lin Shugan followed the imperial order and walked the bag as required every day. His mother said that if the water was well poured, mushrooms would grow in the bag. He could eat the mushrooms himself or sell them to buy pork.
Then he has to work hard and not throw away the meat.
After Chen Chunhua threw the task of watering to Lin Shugan, she no longer cared about the mushrooms and focused on her vegetable selling business with Lin Guoqing.
Qi Fagen's vegetable garden couldn't harvest so much every day. Chen Chunhua felt that he should have more than just the couple as his customers. With several acres of vegetable garden, he didn't know how many people he would have to supply in one night.
The last crop of celery and other vegetables had been almost harvested, so Qi Fagen and his wife turned the soil over and started planting the next crop of vegetables.
Although there is a field next to it where cucumbers, eggplants, cabbages and other vegetables are ripe, there are not many of them. If they are not harvested within a few days, they will be completely out of stock. It will take at least another 10 days for a new batch of vegetables to ripen.
Chen Chunhua wondered if she should go and ask who had any vegetables, wondering if Qi Fagen had any connections with someone in the same business.
Lin Guoqing meant that they should wait until Qi Fagen was familiar with the situation. After all, this kind of thing was risky. If they developed one more person online, they would have to bear the risk of being caught one more time.
Actually, going to Qi Fagen to collect vegetables, buying and selling, the profit per basket is only about 50 or 60 cents. They can make 70 or 80 cents in a night just by selling bamboo shoots and mushrooms. Without that vegetable, it's not a big problem.
That's true, but 50 cents is still worth a lot these days. The main thing is that they were still calculating a few days ago, saving a dollar a day, and by next month, by the end of the year, they were looking forward to the feeling of happiness that would burst forth.
We need to eat eggs every day at home, and we need to buy rice after a while. If we run out of vegetables from time to time, let alone save some, it will probably not be enough.
She had earned too much, and now she has lost a few cents, so Chen Chunhua is still a little unwilling.
"Think about it again. What else can we bring over to sell? We walked for two hours and only sold a few cents worth of bamboo shoots and mushrooms. That's a huge loss!"
Lin Guoqing had no idea what was going on. Weren't all the ways of making money at home thought up by Chen Chunhua?
Lin Guoqing touched his head with an innocent look on his face, and rolled his eyes in anger at Chen Chunhua.
"How about we learn from Old Wu? Make pancakes?" Lin Guoqing thought for a long time and came up with this idea.
Chen Chunhua was speechless. "You ate their cakes and you still want to steal their business? Aren't you afraid that others will stab you in the back?"
"Then tell me! Everything that can be taken over there to sell is already in that alley. The ones that no one is selling are all big ones that can't be taken over there at all!"
Lin Guoqing spread his hands, indicating that he really didn't have that brain.
It was noon now, and the couple had just returned from lunch with their children. Last night, Chen Chunhua went to pick vegetables, but was told that it was the last batch of vegetables for the near future, so she didn't need to go today. She felt very heavy.
I've been thinking about it since last night and I couldn't even take a nap.
When I was sitting on the bed and thinking seriously about what else I could do, I heard Liang Shengdi and Lin Shu rushing back outside.
"National Day! Chunhua! Come out quickly!"
Liang Shengdi started talking loudly as soon as she entered the room, her tone full of excitement.
"Come and see where is the best place to put this thing?!"
Chen Chunhua and Lin Guoqing got out of bed, put on their shoes and went out to see that Liang Shengdi had thrown aside the basket full of bamboo shoots and the basket of mushrooms. She had taken off her coat and cotton jacket, and her pants were wet. She walked towards her room and said she wanted to change clothes.
Lin Shugan was so tired that he sat on the ground, holding a newly woven large basket with a lid in his arms.
The things in the basket kept jumping around, as if they were alive. Lin Shu held the basket tightly, fearing that they would run away if he let go.
Lin Guoqing went over and lifted the lid to take a look.
"Hey! Mom! You're doing great! Did you catch a fish?"
Two fat silver carps were slapping each other in the basket. Their mouths opened and closed on their huge heads, and their dead eyes stared straight at Lin Guoqing above them, as if they were almost dying of thirst and wanted him to drain the water quickly.
Chen Chunhua fetched a large basin of water and poured the fish in the basket into it. She watched them swimming around vigorously and could not help but sigh.
"These two fish are really big. Each one must weigh at least three or four pounds, right?"
Turning around, he saw Lin Shugan sitting on the ground. He seemed to have just realized something and his tone suddenly became bad. "Did you go into the river?"
A 55-year-old old lady and a 6-year-old kid, are they going to the river to die?
Lin Shugan saw his mother staring at him, shrank his neck, and explained to himself in a low voice,
"I didn't go into the river. I just watched grandma fishing from the shore."
The grandparents and grandchildren went to another mountain today. Although Liang Shengdi had never traveled far and didn't know where there were mountains and rivers, she brought Lin Shugan with her, and Lin Shugan would ask questions!
Just grab any uncle, aunt, grandpa or grandma passing by on the street, say hello when you open your mouth and thank you when you close your mouth.
There are not many children who are so sensible and polite, and they are also cute. They answered people who asked them for directions very enthusiastically. The two of them followed the directions and found another small hill.
When we passed by, there was a river in the middle. There were a lot of fish in the river at this season. You could see them rolling around in the river with the naked eye. Liang Shengdi was envious when she passed by, and on the way back she insisted on catching two.
She is different from Lin Guoqing and Chen Chunhua, who are both landlubbers. She can swim. When she was young, it was no problem for her to hold her breath in water for two minutes.
Chen Chunhua didn't allow the children to go into the river, but she didn't forbid herself from going into the river. Liang Shengdi asked Lin Shu to guard the bamboo shoots and mushrooms on the shore, and she took off her cotton jacket and went into the river.
The river wasn't deep, so she didn't go in too deep. She waited until the water reached her waist and started catching fish. She didn't know if she was really skilled or if it was just luck, but she caught two big ones in no time and threw them onto the bank.
