Chapter 620: Boss, are these mushrooms edible?
Qian Yuemei's eyes lit up, "Of course I bought it!"
Not only is the farmland close to Daliushu Village, but it is also full of top-quality farmland!
Although Qian Yuemei was not happy to do farm work, she still had that kind of gene in her bones - a farmer's natural love for the land.
The love for the land is very real.
If she were asked to sell her land in exchange for gold, silver and jewelry, she would definitely not be willing to do so.
But if she were asked to sell her gold and silver jewelry and buy a few acres of land, she might agree.
Of course, the land she purchased must belong to her.
"Sister-in-law, you have to ask my brother to persuade my father to buy the farm." Qian Yuemei continued excitedly, "If you miss this opportunity, you'll miss it forever."
There is only one such village in this area.
Even if the Su family wanted to buy land, they could only do so in bits and pieces.
There are a few acres here and a few acres there, but none of them are connected into a large area like this.
After hearing what Qian Yuemei said, Mrs. Su said helplessly, "Buy? What will we use to buy it? Where is the money left at home?"
Qian Yuemei, "...Sister-in-law, how much silver does the farm cost?"
"Three thousand two hundred taels!" said Mrs. Su.
Qian Yuemei took a breath of cold air.
Although Su Laosan invested ten times more money in sea transportation, Qian Yuemei didn't know it.
To be honest, she had never seen so much silver before.
Mrs. Su sighed and continued, "Originally, I wouldn't sell it for less than 3,500 taels. I was in a hurry to sell it, and no one nearby could afford such a large sum of money, so I came to our family and offered this price."
Mrs. Su naturally felt very sorry that she didn't have the money to buy the farm.
Especially, the price is very cheap.
After all, that farm had more than 300 acres of prime farmland.
It has to be said that the love for the fields is something that is ingrained in the bones of almost every farmer.
Mrs. Su is no exception.
"So, my dear sister-in-law, we need to save money from now on. We can't live lavishly like we did before." Mrs. Su warned, "And don't mention money in front of my parents. As for those words about selling my mother's dowry, never mention them again."
"Sister-in-law, although we can't sell mother's things just to eat meat, it's not too much to sell some of them for silver and buy the farm." Qian Yuemei said unconvincedly: "After all, those things are inanimate objects. How can they be so big as to be real?"
I have to say that what Qian Yuemei said is very true.
Mrs. Su was moved for a moment.
It would be perfect to buy the farm and give it to my younger sister as a dowry in the future.
She had heard that many wealthy families, especially those who doted on their daughters, would give their daughters farms as dowries in addition to houses and shops.
But where is it so easy to buy a suitable farmhouse?
This is the largest farm in this area.
"Actually, Mom originally wanted to sell some things to raise enough money to buy the farm, but Dad didn't agree," said Mrs. Su.
"Why doesn't Dad agree?" Qian Yuemei asked anxiously, "Mom wants to sell it, Dad is crazy..."
Qian Yuemei's next words were glared back at by Mrs. Su.
"Second sister-in-law, those things are mother's dowry!" Su Dasao said in a more serious tone, "If you sell mother's dowry, how will you let father save face?"
Qian Yuemei, “…”
What face?
Why didn't the father-in-law care about his face when the whole village laughed at him for being afraid of his wife?
"Besides, those things belong to Mom. We, the younger generation, have no right to interfere with what Dad and Mom want." Mrs. Su added, "What's more, those things will be passed on to my aunt in the future."
"Even if I leave it to my aunt, I can exchange it for silver and give the farm to my aunt as a dowry. Isn't that also good?" Qian Yuemei said righteously.
At least before my younger sister got married, all the income from the farm belonged to the Su family.
"Second sister-in-law, I tell you this because I want you to live a down-to-earth life and not worry about mom's things. Dad will never let mom sell them." Mrs. Su said.
After all, my father-in-law didn't agree to buy a farm after exchanging the money for money.
After Mrs. Su finished speaking, she saw that Qian Yuemei still had an expression of unwillingness to give up, so she had to persuade her again: "It's not that our family has never had hard times. Now life is better. We can eat meat every few days. We are much better off than other families in the village. People should be content in order to be peaceful and happy..."
Qian Yuemei, “…”
How can eating meat every now and then compare to eating meat every day?
Alas! It’s all my third uncle’s fault!
You have to invest all your family's wealth overseas. What if the ship capsizes on the way?
Bah! Bah! Bah!
His third uncle will definitely make a lot of money and come back with a ton of money...
"Second brother's wife, where did my aunt go? Did you see her?" asked Mrs. Su.
"How would I know?" Qian Yuemei, still thinking about eating meat, said casually, "It seems that he and Shi Liu went up the mountain to pick mushrooms..."
Mrs. Su looked up at the sun and thought to herself that it should be back soon.
No! She had to go to the kitchen to make a scallion pancake and fry an egg for her sister-in-law.
My aunt must be hungry when she comes back...
Mrs. Su hung up the diapers and hurried to the kitchen to knead dough, preparing to cook a special meal for little Tangbao.
At this time, Xiao Tangbao had already come down from Phoenix Mountain carrying a small backpack.
"Miss, you're so lucky today. You picked so many big mushrooms." Pomegranate said excitedly, "This is the first time I've seen mushrooms this big..."
Moreover, it is different from the mushrooms in the past.
It was the first time she had seen mushrooms grow like this.
As Shi Liu said this, he looked at Xiao Tangbao's backpack.
His eyes were filled with envy.
The lady separated from her for a while and picked so many big mushrooms.
Why didn't she encounter it?
Well, even if she came across it, she didn’t know if it was edible, and she certainly wouldn’t pick it.
Xiao Tangbao was also very satisfied with his gains today.
"Sister Pomegranate, when we go back today, let's ask sister-in-law to make dumplings stuffed with mushrooms for us." Xiao Tangbao said sweetly.
"Yeah!" Pomegranate immediately nodded excitedly.
"Boss!"
"Boss..."
Wangcai, Sanzhu and others who were setting up a stall at the foot of the mountain immediately ran over shouting when they saw Xiao Tangbao.
"Boss, are you tired? I'll carry it for you." Wangcai said, and went to take Xiaotangbao's backpack.
"Boss, I'll get you some sour plum soup." Sanzhu said, and ran back panting.
Little Tangbao was surrounded by several younger brothers and soon arrived at the stall.
"Boss, sit down!" Goudan immediately helped Xiaotangbao and put the stump in place.
"Boss, have some sour plum soup!" Sanzhu held a bowl of sour plum soup and placed it in front of Xiao Tangbao.
"Boss, are you hot? Let me fan you." Erpang picked a big leaf and shook it at Xiaotangbao.
Little Tangbao was not polite and enjoyed the service of his younger brothers. He took the sour plum soup, drank a few sips, and then handed it to Shi Liu, whose eyes were shining.
"Boss, are these mushrooms edible?" At this time, Wangcai noticed the backpack he was carrying.
The mushrooms in the basket were something he had never seen before.
But, it’s really big!
