Chapter 60 Bean Sprouts
  There are still more than 20 kilograms of mung beans at home. If they are all grown into bean sprouts, they can grow more than 100 kilograms of bean sprouts.

After all these bean sprouts are sprouted, they can be sent to the black market for sale.

But the first thing to solve is that there may not be enough dustpans at home.

Most of the people in the village are good at bamboo weaving and can make some common bamboo products, so naturally Gu Qianshan and his grandson can do the same.

"Grandpa, let's go to the mountain to chop some bamboo after work tomorrow." Gu Xue said.

There are five or six dustpans in the house. In addition to the ones that are usually used, there are only two or three that can grow bean sprouts. After the bean sprouts are grown, Gu Xue plans to try his luck in the black market above the town.

Let’s find the source of customers first. Anyway, this thing can produce countless bean sprouts every day under the operation of her superpower.

As long as she wants to make money, will she still worry about not having a way?
  I had always thought that life was just going by like this. I had food and clothing, and I could go up to the mountains to catch some game from time to time. It was not bad if it just went by like this.

But what happened this time made Gu Xue understand that no matter what era it is, money is always the greatest guarantee for a stable life.

She can live well and live a comfortable life in the last days, and she can do the same here.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want!" Gu Qianshan agreed very readily. It could be said that he would never refuse anything Gu Xue wanted to do.

The dustpan is easy to make, and Gu Xue's plan is slowly being put on the schedule.

Apart from the fact that working every day is too time-consuming, there is nothing bad about it.

Early the next morning, the grandfather and grandson went to work in the fields early. Even because of their plans for the afternoon, both of them finished their work in their area early.

After talking to the scorer, the two men went up the mountain with their hatchets.

It's late summer, the sun is still scorching hot, and bamboo grows best.

It was very easy to think of suitable bamboos for the frame, and I chopped several of them in a few clicks.

Then he slowly dragged the bamboo to the bottom of the mountain.

On the way, I also saw the fungus growing on the fallen wood. It looked dark and very gratifying.

I packed the fungus conveniently, washed it and served it as another dish in the evening.

Pure wild fungus like this tastes very good, and it is very fragrant when stir-fried with home-grown green onions.

Unfortunately, now is not the season to dig bamboo shoots. You can dig winter bamboo shoots in the future, and then fry them with fungus to make a special meal.

Gu Qianshan and Gu Xue carried the bamboos to their home and threw them in the yard.

It happened to be getting late, and Gu Xue went to the kitchen to cook, while Gu Qianshan was gathering the bamboos in the yard.

After Gu Xue finished cooking, Gu Qianshan had already prepared the ingredients.

After drying in the yard for two or three days, it can be used for weaving.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye. The children at home ate bean sprouts every day, but Gu Qianshan never got tired of them.

The two dustpans that Gu Xue received from behind are also growing very well and will be ready in two or three days.

Gu Qianshan felt that the bamboo was almost dry, so he started to weave a dustpan around it.

Gu Xue was also learning at the side. Gu Qianshan was very serious about the conversation. After three strokes, five divided two, Gu Qianshan directly adapted a dustpan.

His hands are like magic. Every dustpan is particularly round, every gap is similar, the board is straight, and it looks very comfortable.

Even after weaving the dustpan, we also made several vases out of bamboo, which looked very beautiful, similar to future crafts.

Handicrafts made of bamboo like this will cost hundreds of dollars at least in the future.

"You little girls all like flowers. Let's go to the mountains to pick flowers and put them in your room." Gu Qianshan smiled and took two vases and placed them in Gu Xue's room. The grandfather and grandson just smiled like this and worked on their hands, and the night passed like this.

During the day, I still go to work in the fields. When walking on the road, I can see the two Hu brothers cutting pig grass on the mountain from time to time.

A proud smile appeared on his face, especially when he saw Gu Xue.

"Now the pigs we raise are slowly recovering. By the end of the year, everyone will be able to eat meat. Women are women, and they will definitely not be as good as men in doing things." Huba looked at Gu Xue proudly.

Gu Xue didn't even know where the hostility between the two brothers came from. From time to time, they would make sarcastic comments in front of her, which seemed very annoying.

Seeing that these two people were about to come over and dance in front of her, Gu Xue looked over with a disgusting look.

The two were so frightened that they could not speak.

"Go away!"

After saying that, Gu Xue walked slowly past him without even looking at them.

When I was leaving, I saw that there was a lot of hydrangea mixed in the pig grass they cut, which would cause diarrhea to the pigs.

Gu Xue remembered that there should be no hydrangeas growing in the place where the pigweed was cut. Where were these two things cut from?
  Suddenly it occurred to me that there was a place with lush grass at the foot of the mountain. There were a lot of hydrangeas growing there, and people usually didn’t like to go there.

After all, there is nothing there, no wild vegetables, just weeds.

These two guys must not know anything about it.

But this was their own matter, and Gu Xue never thought of me reminding them.

When they were about to leave, Gu Xue used her superpower to hit their feet.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

The sound of the two falling down was heard one after another. When I turned around, I saw the two brothers holding pigweed, and they fell directly to the ground.

Still facing the ground, nosebleeds suddenly appeared on both of them, looking very embarrassed.

Seeing their miserable appearance, Gu Xue instantly felt a lot more comfortable.

Stupid stuff!

Then he slowly went to work in the fields.

I was thinking about things while I was working. The bean sprouts at home have all grown. I can go to the town to have a look at night when no one is around.

The bean sprouts from two dustpans weighed more than 50 kilograms in total. I don’t know how much they could be sold for. The specific price depends on the market value.

After finishing her work, Gu Xue returned home and made a simple meal. After eating, Gu Qianshan went over to wash the dishes.

Waiting for the sky to slowly darken, the grandfather and grandson watched the night fall, each carrying a sack, pushing the family's bicycle on the rugged mountain road under the cover of darkness.

More than an hour later, two people appeared in the alley of the town.

It's dark here, and you can see people on many corners.

Both of them were wearing long clothes and trousers, their faces covered with cloth, and they were walking aimlessly here.

"Hey! What do you two have in your hands?"
