That afternoon, Yang Chunyan sent away the last villager selling truffles, and she and Luo Haili cleaned the shed. Jiang Yu and the others also packed up and went back for dinner.

Yang Chunyan was carrying a vegetable basket and was about to go to the vegetable patch to pick some garlic sprouts to stir-fry with salt and meat. As soon as she arrived at the edge of the vegetable patch, she saw Xu Hongbing, Li Wu, Zhou Huaigang and Xu Erchun pushing a chicken cart towards them.

She grabbed a handful of plump garlic sprouts and walked quickly into the yard, "Sister Haili, the forestry workers are back, hurry out to collect the harvest."

"Here we are!" Luo Haili carried Xiao Jiuer out, put him on the mat next to the small table, and moved out the scale.

Yang Chunyan brought out the garlic sprouts to Zhou's mother, and then Xu Hongbing and a few others arrived. They were all dark and thin, and all the meat they had gained during the slack season had been lost.

It is easy to be thin these days, but it is really difficult to be fat. Whether in a town or a county, everyone on the street has a standard thin figure.

Young and old, most of them look positive. Compared with people thirty or forty years later, they just dress worse and eat less variety of food, but their mental outlook is no worse than that of people back then.

Xu Hongbing and his companions put down the chicken bus, took off their shoulder straps, sat on the handlebars, and wiped the sweat from their faces and necks. "We are so tired, but we are finally here."

Yang Chunyan saw the two large bamboo baskets on the chicken bus, both of which were filled to the brim. She asked curiously, "Last time, only Brother Li and Huai Gang came. Why are there so many more goods this time?"

The chicken bus that Li Wu and Zhou Huaigang pushed had large bamboo baskets on the front and sides of the bus, which looked to weigh at least 600 to 700 kilograms. Xu Hongbing and Xu Erchun weighed at least 500 kilograms.

Zhou Huaigang said happily: "Uncle Daqing took us to the southwest to find a new nest. He originally thought that the place had been burned by a forest fire, and the new Yunnan pine and Armand pine that were planted there had only been growing for eleven or twelve years, and the truffles underneath should not have grown yet. Who knew that we would have a big harvest yesterday."

Xu Erchun took over the conversation, "Uncle Daqing said that the wildfire may have only burned the trees on the ground, but the fungi underground were not destroyed, so they grew again."

"There are still several hundred kilograms left on the mountain!" Xu Hongbing pointed at the bamboo basket behind him with a beaming face, "Chunyan, we dug up four to five hundred kilograms of white truffles this time, including more than ten kilograms of top-grade goods, most of which are first and second-grade goods. There are only a few dozen kilograms of third and last-grade goods. It's terrible!"

Yang Chunyan was happy for them after hearing this, "Really? Then you can make a lot of money this time!" The purchase price of special grade white truffles was set this year at four yuan per catty, first grade at two yuan, second grade at one yuan, third grade at seventy cents, and the last grade at fifty cents per catty.

Xu Erchun and Li Wu lifted a basket and said, "Weigh it quickly, and go home and have a good sleep after that."

Xu Hongbing smiled and said, "That's right. We set out before daybreak. I can fall asleep even while standing now."

"Sister Hai Li, you are responsible for the weighing, and we will do the sifting!" Zhou Huaigang and Xu Hongbing stepped forward, each holding a bamboo sieve, and started working efficiently.
