Liu Guixia smiled and said, “After Xue Dafu and Erfu carried those logs home, they brought Wufu to the fields. There are still a few acres of fields that need to be fertilized with manure. I was planning to go over too. Look at what you’ve dug up with Jiang Yue, this is not wild vegetables, the ones in your hands are. It does look like a mushroom, but many mushrooms on this mountain are poisonous. I’ve never seen this mushroom before, so it shouldn’t be edible. hurry up and throw it away. It’ll be bad if it’s really poisonous.”

“She’s right.” Xue Yifu, Li Hehua, and Yu Hongyan all agreed.

Jiang Yue then said, “But, Xue Yan, and I saw this when we were digging up wild vegetables. There was a huge patch of them, so we picked them all. Xue Yan said that he had read about them in a book. This is the moonbelly fungus, which is also a type of mushroom. It’s edible, not poisonous, and can be sold for money.”

“It can be sold for money?” The eyes of Liu Guixia and the others immediately lit up.

“Then quickly dry it. People have been picking a lot of mushrooms recently, they dried them and then went to town to sell them.” Liu Guixia said anxiously.

“No need to go through all that trouble. Xue Yan said that the town also accepts fresh ones.” Jiang Yue said.

“Hehua, quickly call Xue Dafu and Erfu back. Tell them to go to town and sell this instead.”

Before Liu Guixia could finish, Xue Yan interjected, “There’s no need for them to go. I’ll go with Jiang Yue. I’ve been in the town for three years, so I’m more familiar with the town than then.”

Liu Guixia said, “That’s true, but you and Jiang Yue are still children. To go and sell things… how about this? Let Yifu go with you. He is an adult after all. With him accompanying you, I will be at ease.”

Xue Yifu was also worried about the two children going to town, so he smiled naively and said, “Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, I’ll go with you.”

“Good idea.” Li Hehua agreed.

Xue Yan smiled, “It’s really not necessary. You’re already busy enough with your work. We can just take uncle’s ox cart there. The ox cart hasn’t left today, right? We’ll follow him to come back. It’ll be fine.”

“That’s true, why don’t we let Xue Yan and Jiang Yue go alone?” Yu Hongyan said. “Although Xue Yan is young, he has more ideas than us. We’re not as smart as him. He has seen a lot of things. In the past, his master was very good to him and even took him to the county a few times. With Tian’s ox cart going back and forth, we won’t have to worry about their journey there.”

“Alright, then.” Liu Guixia relented.

She walked into the house and took out twenty coins for Xue Yan. “It’s one coin per person to take the ox cart, but it’ll be four coins for the two of you to go back and forth. No matter how much this moonbelly mushroom can sell for, don’t be shy to eat a good lunch in town. Find a noodle stall and order a bowl of meat noodles.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

Xue Yan put the money away and said, “You can go now. I still need to get my books. I’ve copied the content. I can sell the rest in town.”

“Alright, alright, alright.” Liu Guixia smiled and went to carry the manure to the field.

Jiang Yue put down the wild vegetables and the small shovel in her hands.

Xue Yan went to his room to get his books.

Li Hehua was not worried about Xue Yan, who had always been more mature than adults. However, she was a little worried about Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue was only three-and-half years old. Li Hehua could not help but squat down and pat Jiang Yue’s little head, and whispered, “Jiang Yue, when you reach the town, you must follow your Xue Yan closely.”
