In the morning, after breakfast, Gao Yuling suddenly exclaimed, "Su Su! What is this? It's moldy! Why don't you throw it away!"
Su Nanxi rubbed his ears. This girl's voice was too shrill. What's all the fuss about?
It's just fermenting soybeans, it would be bad if they didn't grow mold!
Honestly, she hid it so well, how did this girl still find it!
This girl has an amazing nose!
"Don't touch that! That's good stuff! I'm going to use it to make something delicious!"
Su Nanxi rushed over to save her soybeans; otherwise, they might have been ruined!
Perhaps no one can resist the allure of the word "delicious." Gao Yuling pulled back her outstretched hand. If she had stretched it out any further, being beaten would have been a minor matter; not having anything to eat would have been a major one!
Like a mother hen protecting her chicks, Su Nanxi spread out her arms to protect her chicks—no, wait, her long-haired soybeans!
"Su Su, are you sure you're not lying to me?" Gao Yuling was skeptical. Could this hairy thing be eaten?
Su Nanxi snorted, "You don't have to eat then!"
"Hehe! How could that be! I take back what I just said!" Gao Yuling, quick to change her tune, said obsequiously, "Su Su's cooking is definitely delicious. If Su Su says it's edible, then it's definitely edible! No arguments allowed!"
It's unbearable to look at!
Su Nanxi simply pulled Gao Yuling away to keep her hairy soybeans away from danger!
"We'll find out soon enough!" Actually, she wasn't too sure either!
Hehe! Just an experiment!
But you can't show weakness in front of others; you have to pretend, uh, first be confident!
Gao Yuling glanced back as she was being pulled, but was pulled even faster as a result!
"Come on! Let's go for a walk in the mountains, then come back and pick some chili peppers! It'll be busy! Don't forget what you said!"
Su Nanxi slung her basket over her shoulder, picked up her machete, and prepared to head out.
Upon seeing this, Gao Yuling quickly grabbed the basket and carried it on her back as she walked.
The children quickly followed.
Mo Qinghe couldn't keep up; he was pulled away to be taught knowledge again!
Because Old Man Xu heard that Ugly Girl had come back from the mountain to pick chili peppers!
I need to finish my class quickly so I can head over and pick some chili peppers!
Mo Qinghe wanted to go too, no matter what he could do!
If you can't avoid it, then you might as well put in your best effort to learn!
Hmph! Come on, let's hurt each other!
Bring on all the classes you can handle!
I'm not afraid!
The two of them were teaching and learning at home with great enthusiasm, while Su Nanxi was having a lively and joyful time with the children on the mountain!
With Kao Yu-ling around, the sounds of talking and laughter never stopped!
"Susu, why are so many people breaking bamboo shoots? Should we break some too?"
Gao Yuling saw many people picking bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest and was very curious and puzzled. Seeing others picking them, she wanted to do it too!
Don't ask why; if you do, she won't even know herself!
Following the trend!
Su Nanxi also saw that many people were picking bamboo shoots. He guessed that the Liang brothers had sold bamboo shoots and made money, and when other villagers found out, they joined in.
Bamboo shoots are free; they're everywhere—on the mountains, by the river. All you have to do is break them open, pick them out, and sell them for money. Who wouldn't want that?
Many villagers are still poor. They missed out on joining the rice noodle workshop or growing chili peppers and corn. They have no income, so they don't want to miss any opportunity they see!
The cost of trial and error is low, and besides, someone has already tried it for them, so they can just do it directly!
Su Nanxi looked away. "Those are bamboo shoots. When bamboo is young, it's very tender and crisp! People usually pick them to exchange for money! Why are you picking them? Just for fun!"
"Oh!" Gao Yuling suddenly realized, "So it's bamboo shoots! What a nice name! Sigh! Why are so many people exchanging so many things for money these days? Is exchanging bamboo shoots for money your idea?"
Su Nanxi pretended not to know and casually said, "I don't understand! Where can you exchange a lot of things for money?"
Before Gao Yuling could answer, Mo Jiarong, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Third Aunt, haven't you noticed that the sweet potato leaves in the field are much sparser? I just saw someone picking the leaves! They're probably going to sell them!"
"Really?" Su Nanxi was taken aback. She hadn't noticed; she was preoccupied with other things and probably hadn't seen it just as she passed by!
But I can't say it out loud!
"Yes, yes, yes! They've picked so many that they can't finish eating them all, so they must be selling them!"
That should be the case. As Village Chief Liu mentioned before, you can sell them for money. I guess some people have tried it and actually made money. That's why people who grow a lot of them are all starting to harvest them!
Hey! Don't overdo it! You can't fleece people too much!
Kao Yu-ling had an "Is that all?" look on her face. "Making so many so early in the morning, they must be for sale!"
Indeed, after the villagers tasted the benefits, they all rushed to their own fields to pick sweet potato leaves and vines, and then carried them to the town to sell, trying to make as much money as they could!
The village chief set the price a bit too high at first, and they couldn't sell many. But then, for some reason, people in town started to like sweet potato leaves, and they couldn't even sell enough to meet demand!
This caused prices to rise as well!
Once the price went up, wow, everyone knew about it and came running, drawn by the smell of blood, all wanting to exchange it for money!
So, those who could pick some leaves all picked them to sell. Most of them didn't dare to pick them all and listened to the village chief, leaving some long leaves behind!
The villagers were overjoyed to have more options!
However, a small number of families who haven't kept up with the times are in a bad mood because they can only watch others exchange money, while they have nothing to exchange themselves!
They secretly regretted their stubbornness back then! So many people planted it and said it was good, why didn't they plant even a little? Even a little would have been great!
I heard that those vines can be broken off and planted in the soil, and they will grow back quickly, multiplying and multiplying! There will be no worry about running out of food!
Now things are much better. They have none at all, so they ask others for vines to plant. Everyone has extra vines! If they have extra, they'll sell them!
The Mo family has many members, but they dare not ask again because they used to mock the Mo family, saying that they liked to mess around!
Waaah! They want to mess around too!
Let's plant several acres of land!
But I couldn't bring myself to ask!
Even if Su Nanxi were to give it to them, she might not, as she plans to supply the sweet potato leaves exclusively to restaurants.
The Mo family didn't plant many sweet potato vines for eating leaves; they mostly planted sweet potatoes that grew from leaves. Their original idea was to plant more vines so they could harvest more sweet potatoes and store them to fill their stomachs in case of a famine.
"Forget about everyone else, let's finish the mission and get back quickly!"
"good!"
Wow! Look! What's that?
"It's a rabbit or a pheasant!"
Unsurprisingly, the kids returned early, but they didn't leave empty-handed!
As they approached the Mo family's residence, they saw someone standing at the gate, seemingly waiting for someone. He kept looking around anxiously.
As they approached, Mo Dongmei and Mo Qiushuang suddenly ran over and called out, "Grandma! Grandma!"
Su Nanxi paused, then said, "Huh?"
Isn't Mo Dongmei's maternal grandmother Zhao's biological mother?
Why have you come to the Mo family alone all of a sudden?
Mrs. Yang was overjoyed to see her granddaughter!
"Mute Mother, when will Huilan and the others be back?"
