Xia Manni had been thinking about this since the first time she went up the mountain. When her family could barely fill their stomachs, they would definitely have to find something to sell on the mountain.
The mountain products we sold last time were mostly food, not cash crops.
It wasn't until today that she found tea and wolfberries, both of which can be sold.
Wolfberries are sold directly to herbal medicine shops, and tea leaves are sold directly to tea shops. The price is definitely not high, after all, they are grown in the mountains, but it is definitely higher than those mountain products.
"These leaves are tea leaves. You should have seen old people drinking tea. These can be processed and become tea leaves. The red ones are not edible. These are called wolfberries. These can strengthen the body and can be used directly as medicine."
"Mom, can we take these to the shop and sell them?" Although the eldest child was not as keen on business as the third child, he could guess that the things Xia Manni was talking about could be sold for money.
"Yes, they can be sold. After drying, we can take them to the market and sell them. The price should be better than the mountain products we sold last time."
However, even if all the fruits in that area are harvested, only ten or twenty kilograms can be harvested. The money that can be sold is very limited, so it can only be used as a bonus.
Contentment is the key to happiness. If you don’t discover these things, then you have nothing.
"That's great! Next time we go to the market, we can sell pecans, chestnuts, hazelnuts, red dates, tea leaves, and wolfberries. Am I right, mother?"
"You're right, Big Baby, don't forget that it's your meeting today." Xia Manni gave Big Baby an encouraging look.
The eldest boy nodded and continued, "How about this? We can put the things we want to sell together and the things we want to keep together. But Mom, it seems we don't have enough baskets at home."
After hearing this, Xia Manni smiled and said, "Dawa's idea is very good. We need to separate them. After that, we'll need more baskets, but... Mom doesn't know how to weave..."
"Mom, Si Ni'er can."
"Si Ni'er, if you want to weave it, that's fine. But let's just weave the small ones. Mother is afraid you'll be too tired. We still have a lot of bamboo strips at home from drying them earlier."
After all, that thing is both tiring for the eyes and the hands...
"Mom, Si Ni'er is very fast at making up stories. She can make one in less than an hour."
Okay, the one we are talking about in the special topic is Si Ni'er.
"What do you think, Da Wa?" Xia Manni did not forget to give the decision-making power to Da Wa.
"Mom, I think it's okay. Si Ni'er will stay at home and weave for a whole day. You can accompany Si Ni'er to dry all these things in our house."
After saying this, Da Wa looked at Xia Manni a little embarrassedly. Why did he start ordering his mother around?
"Okay, Big Boy, I'll do as you say. Tomorrow I'll take Sini'er to see Doctor Sun. When we get back, Sini'er will weave the baskets while I dry them. By the way, Big Boy, when you have time, go find the carpenter in our village and ask him to make us some racks to hold the baskets."
That way, things can be dried more fully.
The final decision was that Xia Manni and Sinier would stay at home tomorrow, while the three children would go up the mountain to collect various foods.
Xia Manni hesitated before making this decision, but when she thought about the day she was almost robbed, she stopped hesitating.
Only by letting children become independent can they withstand any difficulties. Although she doesn't set high standards for herself now, she is very bad.
But before she had the capital to give up, she was very cruel to herself. Only those who endured hardships can become the best.
