After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

"If there are too many lichens and the wet ones cannot be transported away, they can be dried in the sun," Ding Xirui continued.

"This sticky stuff can be dried?" An Yumo frowned, unable to believe it.

"This...it's not impossible to dry it in the sun, but it will become very small. A pile of wet lichens may weigh less than one kilogram after drying." Yuan Sanxing added.

"If it tastes good and is good for the human body, would the restaurant be willing to buy it?" Ding Xirui asked.

An Yumo nodded: "Of course I am willing. Diners just eat out of curiosity and for novelty. As long as it tastes good or is really good for the body, someone will pay for it."

"Then we'll taste them at noon, and leave a few to ask Sister Li if she has noticed this thing. If it's everywhere after the rain, it will be a great thing for the villagers."

"Okay, the first way to get rich - lichen!" An Yumo laughed.

"What did you find?" Yuan Sanxing asked.

"Look--" An Yumo said, picking up their team's medicine basket and pouring the contents onto the table.

Two broken little mushrooms and a handful of grass with small purple flowers.

Yuan Sansheng picked up the small mushroom, looked at it, then shook his head and put it down.

"How about it, Brother Yuan, is this edible?"

"They grow after the rain, are very small, and wilt quickly. They break when touched, and there is nothing to eat."

"I knew it would be like this." An Yumo sighed, "Then this grass can no longer be eaten."

"This grass is good for feeding chickens and pigs." Yuan Sansheng answered seriously, "I saw my mother often go to the fields to find this grass, chop it up to feed chickens, or throw it directly to pigs."

"Ah?" An Yumo was disappointed again.

Ding Xirui put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Hahaha, this is considered a wild vegetable. People can eat it, but now is not the right time. When Aunt Li comes, ask her to take it home to feed the chickens."

That grass is alfalfa, a good livestock feed. I don't need to tell the villagers, they will definitely know it. In the famine years, people don't care about it, and this grass will be snatched up. In another world, pick the tender alfalfa in spring, mix it with flour, steam it in a pot, and then drizzle it with chili oil. It is so fragrant and is considered a rare game. People have different attitudes towards the same plant in different times.

"Miss, we don't have anything over there." Chenpi put the medicine basket on the table.

"Only small wild flowers." Little Leopard said, taking out two bouquets of flowers from the medicine basket.

"Okay, you are lucky. You can look at the flowers in the sun and pick them." An Yumo said with a smile.

"Compared to flowers, we would rather find some edible weeds. Even if humans can't eat them, livestock can eat them." Chenpi muttered.

"It's okay, it's only been a morning. Look for it again in the afternoon." Ding Xirui patted his shoulder.

After they sorted out the things, An Yumo took the fresh black fungus and sticky lichen to the kitchen, and Yuan Sansheng followed to help. Smoke rose from the village, and the aroma of food filled the air. Li Xingjian and Ling Junsheng and their group also returned.

Many villagers came to the yard waiting to eat mushroom porridge. When they saw Li Xingjian come in, they consciously made way for him. Some villagers asked in a low voice whether they wanted to pay their respects, but Li Xingjian just nodded at them and the yamen runners did not give any instructions.

Lin Mingxuan was still consulting when Li Xingjian came into the room, put the book in his hand on the small table, and without saying anything, he picked up a pen and began to write. Lin Mingxuan turned his head to take a look and continued consulting.

The courtyard was in good order, and there was no change because of Li Xingjian's arrival. Ding Xirui came to the medicine furnace to help put the medicine in. When she looked up, she saw Ma Liang's wife, the woman whose right hand was struck by lightning, standing in front of her, and her son A Fei was quietly accompanying her.

"Sister-in-law, you look much better."

"Yes, I drank every bowl of the medicine that Doctor Lin asked me to drink. I don't know what happened to Ah Fei's father. He has been very diligent these past two days. He didn't let me do any housework and let me have a good rest. I feel much better now."

"That's good. Did you get the acupuncture on your arm?"

"Well, today is the first time. Doctor Lin took my pulse this morning and said that I could get acupuncture."

"Okay, things will get better slowly." Ding Xirui held her hand and handed her the medicine.

People lined up to get the medicine one after another, and the last one was a little girl who had suffered from dysmenorrhea yesterday.

"Hello, Doctor Ding." The little girl greeted softly.

"Does your stomach still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore. Miss Xiaoqin came to see me this morning and asked me to get the medicine."

"Well, wait a moment." Ding Xirui turned his head and asked Ah Qing, "Is the Wenjing Decoction ready?"

"Doctor Ding, it's ready. Keep it warm in the medicine pot over there."

"Okay." Ding Xirui went to get it. Half a day later, Ah Qing made a new medicine furnace.

"Little sister, come here." Ding Xirui waved.

"Doctor Ding, my name is Pan'er." The little girl said in a low voice.

Ding Xirui smiled and said, "Okay, Pan'er, take this bowl of medicine. Don't be afraid of the bitterness. Drink it all."

"Ah."

The girl named Pan'er took the medicine, found a corner, and drank the medicine while frowning.

In the kitchen, Yuan Sansheng was instructing An Yumo to stir-fry lichen.

"Yumo, there are very few lichens. There is not enough for our group to eat."

"Then use it to fill the gaps between my teeth, hahaha." An Yumo had already gotten used to the feel of the lichen and washed it one last time in the basin.

"One spoon per person isn't enough. It would be better if it had just rained."

"It will get colder when it rains. Xirui said that the illness in the village was caused by the continuous rain some time ago. I would rather have less lichen than have it rain again." An Yumo said, stroking his arm, as if recalling that heart-breaking rainy day.

"Yeah, haha, then let's just fill our teeth today."

An Yumo smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, you said that lichen can be fried with eggs, right?"

"Correct."

"Then let's make some lichen scrambled eggs. What's the point?"

"I've seen my mother do it. She should blanch the lichen first, then put it into the egg liquid and mix it evenly. Oh, and sprinkle some chopped green onions into the egg liquid..." Yuan Sansheng narrowed his eyes and continued to think.

"Do you want a high or low heat, more oil or less oil?"

"You need a high heat, but you don't need a lot of oil."

"Okay, I roughly know. Brother Yuan, where does lichen grow and when does it grow?"

"It usually grows together with moss on cool, moist soil. It only appears after rain and withers when exposed to a little sunlight."

"Are there any seeds?"

"This... doesn't seem to exist." Yuan Sanxing smiled embarrassedly, "It seems that such things can't see seeds, anyway, they just grow on the ground."

"Then I can't take it away either. It's a bit troublesome."

As the two were talking, An Yumo suddenly felt as if someone was staring at her. She raised her head and saw Qin Xiaofeng standing at the window, not saying a word.

"You scared me," An Yumo said, and walked outside. "Why didn't you say anything when you came back?"

Qin Xiaofeng nodded to Yuan Sansheng and came to the kitchen door: "I saw you talking to Master Yuan, so I didn't want to interrupt you."

"We are talking about 'lichen'. Have you seen it? Come in and take a look." An Yumo made way. Qin Xiaofeng entered, and the kitchen suddenly became cramped. Yuan Sansheng coughed lightly and said, "It seems to be busy outside. I'll go help."

"Thank you, Brother Yuan, for your guidance."

“Not really, haha.”

Yuan Sansheng waved his hands, laughed awkwardly, and went out.

Qin Xiaofeng took a step closer to An Yumo, "Is this the lichen? Did you find it today?"

"Yes, it was found by Brother Yuan's team. It may help increase the villagers' income." An Yumo looked up and smiled, his eyes curved into crescents.

Qin Xiaofeng looked at her, unable to move his eyes away. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and An Yumo blushed and pushed Qin Xiaofeng out of the kitchen: "You can't help, get out."

"Okay." Qin Xiaofeng looked around and went to meet Ling Junsheng, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

"Miss, I didn't see anything." Xiaoqin in front of the stove said with a smile.

"You bad girl, help me crack some eggs."

"Miss, just now you asked me to light a small pot to cook our own rice, but I couldn't spare my hands. As soon as you saw your son-in-law, you forgot about it."

"Hateful!" An Yumo glared at her, put on an apron, tied her sleeves, and started to work.

Wash the lichens, about one plate in size. Boil water in a small pot, pour in the lichens, scald them slightly, and scoop them out with a bamboo strainer to drain the water. Beat four eggs in a large bowl, and just when you are about to put the lichens in with the water drained, a pair of big hands block you.

It’s Yuan Sanxing.

"Brother Yuan, is there anything else that needs special attention?"

"Yes." Yuan Sanxing nodded. "Lichens are not good at just absorbing water. They need to be squeezed dry. I just remembered it. Fortunately, I made it in time."

"Thank you, Brother Yuan. It was a close call."

"You're welcome. I'm out now."

Yuan Sansheng returned to the yard. An Yumo washed his hands, grabbed the lichen and squeezed it dry, then poured it into the eggs, added salt and chopped green onions, and beat it until well mixed.

"Miss An, let me help." Banxia entered the kitchen.

"You've come just in time. Please help me light the fire. I'm going to cook a new dish today."

"it is good."

The iron pan was wiped dry, and as the fire gradually increased, the water vapor on the pan evaporated. An Yumo wiped it dry with a cloth, poured a small amount of oil into the pan, and then scooped in two small spoons. The edge of the pan was smoking, and the mixed egg liquid was poured in. With a "sizzling" sound, the fragrance of the eggs instantly overflowed.

An Yumo pushed the spatula, stirred it twice, and waited quietly for the eggs to solidify. In just a few breaths, the egg liquid on the surface disappeared. An Yumo turned the spatula over to turn the eggs in the pot.

"Miss An, it smells so good."

"That's right. Since we came here, we haven't eaten eggs once. These four eggs were brought by the elder sister-in-law in the village. I have been saving them. If they were not paired with lichen, I would not be willing to use them. I hope the lichen can live up to expectations."

"Of course I can." Banxia said, standing up and looking into the pot.

An Yumo quickly flipped the spatula, and the golden eggs were mixed with dark lichens and dotted with green chopped green onions. It was dry and fluffy and looked good.

Banxia swallowed and said, "I hope you can give me a spoonful later, haha."

An Yumo put the lichen fried eggs on the plate, bent slightly, and said in a low voice: "It must be okay, we who are busy in the kitchen will try it first!"

"Hahahahahaha."
