And this thing is available in every household here.
If he wanted more, he only needed to pay one dollar each, and his classmates would bring a big bag of them from home for him.
Thanks to this formation, his family's vegetables grew exceptionally well. Although April and May were the time when everything came back to life, they were also the lean period. The newly planted vegetables were still small seedlings. Besides the mountain dandelions, shepherd's purse, ground vegetables, and wild leeks, there were only the pickled radishes at home.
But in an era of great population prosperity, wild vegetables in the mountains are not always available, and there will be a time when we have enough pickles.

Xiao Yu spread his rapeseed, cabbage, and radish seeds on the ground, so he could sell them every week. At fifty cents a bunch, even the most strapped-for-purpose family could afford a handful.
Xiao Yu's mother was well-known in the village for her good vegetable gardening, so no one complained when he went to the market to sell vegetables. As for the fresh large bones, pig liver, and the occasional extravagant firewood chicken, he had already bought them in advance before selling them.
Anyway, his mother left him some money, so it would be a waste not to spend it. I'll spend it first and then worry about it.
Relying on bone soup, fresh roosters, hens, and various snacks, and even with daily physical training, Xiao Yu gained a lot of weight in a month.
In order to speed up his cultivation, he would sit cross-legged on the roof of his house every night after dinner, as long as it didn't rain. The roof of the newly built house, which hadn't been built for three years, was clean and spacious.
The most important thing is that even if a thief breaks into his house, he would never have thought that the owner of the house does not walk around normally and actually sleeps on the rooftop when the weather is not yet hot.
Everything went according to plan, and it was time to harvest the wheat.
As Xiao Yu had expected, his mother hadn't returned. Instead, his father had called and asked his cousins to help harvest the wheat, paying them 100 yuan a day each.
They don't have harvesters here yet. Even if they did, due to the mountainous conditions here, many fields could not be harvested.
But this price is definitely acceptable at the moment.
The Xiao family's uncles and aunts didn't even take care of the wheat in their own fields, so they helped their family harvest it first. As relatives, they couldn't just rely on money to get things done.
So, Xiao Yu received three hundred yuan from his father, who asked him to go to the street to buy some buns, steamed buns, and fried dough sticks to deliver to the fields during the market.
Although three hundred yuan is not a lot, it is enough at the moment.
Xiao Yu naturally did not miss this opportunity to cheat his father. In addition to buying steamed buns and steamed buns at the market every day, he also bought large bones, pig heads, pork belly and other things.
After he braised the pig's head, he kept one third and gave the rest to the fields.
The pork belly is made into braised pork and delivered to the families who help before dark in the afternoon on the day of the market.
Because he often caught loaches and eels in the puddles after delivering meals, so after delivering the braised pork, he would receive a lot of eels, loaches and crayfish that night.
Compared with pork, blood foods such as eels and loaches are naturally more nutritious.

After the wheat harvest and the Dragon Boat Festival, it is summer vacation.
For his own safety, Xiao Yu rarely left the house except for going to the town with Xiao Zheng's cousin's second aunt and buying a bunch of books.
However, what is coming will come.
In the past, he was the one who asked others to go fishing and catching shrimps. At the beginning of this summer vacation, his former friends took turns to come to his house and ask him out.
Some go to the reservoir, and some go to the river.
It seemed that the small pond near the village could no longer accommodate them.
One of them, whom he remembered as having been difficult to get together with, had actually made several appointments, each time arriving at noon. Under the blazing sun, the village was deserted except for the lively chirping of cicadas. Suddenly, a little kid knocked on your door and asked if you wanted to go fishing in the river.
Do you think it’s scary?
"Are you Bangs?"
"Ah?" Liu Hai looked confused.
Xiao Yu asked in confusion, "I asked you to go out before, but you never did. Why do you keep asking me to go fishing in the river? The river is so far away, Nantang is closer."
Liu Hai was stunned for a moment, then thought: "It's not impossible to go to Nantang, but there are so many people swimming there, I don't think we can catch any fish."
"There are many ponds next to Nantang. If you can't catch fish, you can catch shrimp."
"Okay then, let's go to Nantang."
“…” Xiao Yu: Forget it, since you have to come, then come once.
Xiao Yu turned around and took out the ten shrimp hooks that he had prepared long ago, which were modified from his own brooms, and a plastic bucket. When he went out, he did not forget to take the small knife he bought in town.
"What do you use to catch shrimp?" Liu Hai looked at Xiao Yu's hook with a floating white line.
Xiao Yu said proudly, "Pork liver, I just bought it today."
"Can pig liver be used to catch shrimp?"
"Why not? I heard that pig liver has a strong smell, and crayfish love it the most. I also bought this big net. Look, it's very sturdy. If a fish takes the bait, it will definitely not escape."
"Is your bucket too big?"
"Is it big?" Xiao Yu looked at the red plastic bucket he had. "I bought this specially. Every time I bring a lime bucket, it's never big enough."
Liu Hai looked at Xiao Yu and suddenly didn't know what to say.
