Di Xuan held the 25 copper coins in his hand, unable to describe the feeling in his heart!

At first, he felt a bit of pity for selling all the loquats.

Unexpectedly, she actually gave him the money from the sale, which really surprised him!

Liu Sisi didn’t think too much about it. Di Xuan was already seven years old, and it was only natural to give children their own pocket money at this age. Moreover, this money was their labor gains, so it should be left for the children.

Turning back, she handed the money to Di Yelei.

Di Yelei raised his eyebrows in surprise but didn’t reach out to take it: “It’s better for you to manage the money, as a grown man like me doesn’t need to spend any, so there’s no need to hold onto so much silver.”

Who would have thought that Di Yelei was such a good man!

Liu Sisi felt a warmth in her heart. The feeling of being valued made her very comfortable. Without saying much, she put the money back in her pocket.

Perhaps because of the successful opening, the game and mushrooms sold very well today, and even most of the mushrooms were sold.

In the process, Liu Sisi also helped the vegetable farmer next to her who borrowed the scale sell all his vegetables, to the point that the farmer happily thanked her and gave her the last bit of chives as a thank-you gift.

Liu Sisi declined for a long time, but seeing that she couldn’t refuse any longer, she finally expressed her gratitude and accepted. In her mind, she pondered what delicious dishes she could make with these chives tonight.

Liu Sisi was busy non-stop, and after YingEr woke up, Di Xuan took her to buy four big buns. Seeing that 25 copper coins had suddenly been spent on 4 coins, Di Xuan felt a pain in his heart.

The vegetable buns made by the villagers were large in size, but they had thin skins and lots of filling. The filling was actually a wild vegetable called Indian aster, which was fried and made into stuffing. The dough was just right, and the Indian aster was well-seasoned. The shopkeeper’s skill was very good, and Liu Sisi finally managed to eat a bun, feeling full.

YingEr only ate half, her stomach already round and full. The rest went into Di Yelei’s mouth.

People were coming and going to buy things, Liu Sisi was busy non-stop, and Di Yelei kept helping out on the side. Seeing that it was almost noon, and there was still a small portion of shaggy ink cap mushrooms left. There was also a large elk left, but nobody bought it because of its size.

Right now, pork costs 10 to 15 copper coins per catty, and these mushrooms were sold at 80 copper coins per catty, which was an astronomical price. Most people bought them in small quantities to take home and eat as a treat for the rich to change their taste and try something new.

Her mushrooms were good, so selling more than half of them was already a rarity.

Di Yelei was also not idle, helping Liu Sisi busying around. When he saw there were fewer customers, he went out for a while and came back with a frown on his face.

“The one who buys game didn’t come today. I was originally counting on this elk to sell for a good price, but it seems we’ll be lucky to sell it at all. Let’s go! Let’s take the elk to the restaurant and see if they’ll accept it.”

As Di Yelei spoke, he bent down to help pack the shaggy ink cap mushrooms.

There were still several catties of shaggy ink cap mushrooms, and Liu Sisi was reluctant to take them home to eat. So, she thought about whether she could sell these mushrooms to the restaurant later.

“Wait! Don’t pack it up, I’m glad I’m not late.”
