Siheyuan: Start at level 60, beat up all the animals
Chapter 23: A Gift for Banggeng, the Stingy Yan Bugui
According to the knowledge that suddenly emerged in his mind, Li Yang began to search carefully in the mountains.
He squatted down to look at the dense moss on the ground; then he looked up and looked around to observe the branches of the towering ancient trees around him.
As he was walking, an inconspicuous valley caught Li Yang's attention. He walked over quickly and was surprised to find that a large area of mushrooms of various shapes were "waving" at him.
Some are as big and full as mushrooms, with milky white caps dotted with densely packed small holes;
Some are as small and delicate as chanterelles, with concentric rings smeared on their yellow caps;
Others are as bright and juicy as red mushrooms, with a fiery red cap and a slight purple metallic luster.
Seeing this scene, Li Yang's eyes suddenly lit up. He suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"These mushrooms are not simple." Li Yang squatted down and carefully looked at the wild mushrooms in front of him.
With the knowledge he had just acquired, he quickly distinguished which were edible mushrooms and which were poisonous mushrooms.
Li Yang picked the milky white and light yellow mushrooms without hesitation, muttering to himself as he picked them: "These button mushrooms and chanterelles are both excellent ingredients. They are delicious no matter whether they are steamed, cooked in soup or stir-fried. When I get back, I will make myself a feast of wild game. It will be delicious!"
After picking enough edible fungi, Li Yang's eyes fell on those little red mushrooms.
"This is a rare poisonous mushroom. Eating it can cause hallucinations." Li Yang thought to himself, "When I was a child, I watched an adventure in the forest. The old man who picked mushrooms in the movie mistakenly ate this kind of mushroom and mistook firewood for a weasel. If it is used to punish people, it is really a sharp weapon!"
Thinking of this, a malicious smile appeared on Li Yang's lips.
He picked a red mushroom, wrapped it in leaves and put it in his arms, thinking: "I have to keep this thing carefully, and give Banggeng a good meal when I get back."
Leaving the mushroom bush, Li Yang walked deeper into the bush and soon saw some strange-looking weeds.
The thick branches are dotted with small trumpet-shaped flowers pointing upwards, which are crystal clear, tender and bright red like fire.
"Isn't this the famous chili pepper?" Li Yang leaned over to take a look, sniffed the pistil gently, and was immediately choked by the pungent smell and started coughing.
"That's terrible! This thing has at least 300,000 or 400,000 Scoville levels of spiciness!" Li Yang stuck out his tongue, tears and snot coming out.
He recalled the time when he accidentally ate raw chili peppers as a child. The pain was so severe that even drinking ten glasses of cold water could not relieve it. Thinking about it now, he still felt a lingering fear.
"But..." Li Yang's mind turned, his eyes rolled around, "If such a spicy thing is used where it should be used, it will be a magical weapon!"
At that moment, without thinking twice, he found a cloth bag and picked all the chili flowers, then returned home with a full load.
Returning to the place where the trees were cut down, Li Yang started to work while humming a little tune.
He found some thick branches and pulled down some strong vines from the nearby bushes, and quickly built a wooden frame.
Soon, a simple small cart was completed.
Li Yang loaded the chopped nanmu wood pieces onto the cart, tied them tightly with rattan, and then happily pushed the cart on the road.
Along the way, Li Yang hummed a little tune with a happy face.
From time to time he looked down at the wood on the cart, then glanced at the cloth bag beside him, his heart beaming with joy.
In this way, he took two steps at a time and ran down the mountain, and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Just when Li Yang was at a loss as to how to get the cartload of wood back, he spotted a rickshaw driver soliciting passengers on the side of the road.
"Master! Master!" Li Yang called out quickly, "Give me a ride!"
Li Yang took out a few brand new banknotes from his pocket and waved them in front of the driver.
The driver was so surprised that he nodded and agreed: "No problem! Don't worry, I guarantee you will get home comfortably!"
In this way, with the help of the coachman, Li Yang finally transported a full cart of wood and game back to the courtyard.
From afar, the courtyard was peaceful and tranquil in the afternoon.
To the north, Yan Bugui was watering the flowers in front of his house with a watering can.
Although he was busy with the work at hand, his eyes kept glancing towards the gate:
"I don't know who bought something good today. I should go over and say hello." Yan Bugui muttered to himself, "These days, every family has a hard time. I can't eat the meat alone, right? Hehe..."
Just as Yan Bugui was looking around, waiting for an opportunity to act, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
"Huh? Is it that kid Li Yang?" Yan Bugui squinted his eyes, took a closer look, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.
From yesterday afternoon till now, I haven't had time to think about Li Yang's matter.
Now seeing this kid coming back out of the blue, Yan Bugui suddenly felt guilty.
"Well, I'd better stay out of the spotlight first." Yan Bugui muttered to himself, and rushed into the house. Just as he was about to close the door and hide, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something being pulled behind Li Yang.
"Hey, what is that?" Yan Bugui became curious and opened the door a little wider.
Behind Li Yang, a small wooden cart was rumbling along, with several pieces of wood emitting a faint fragrance neatly stacked on it.
There are a few brightly colored mushrooms scattered on the wood, which make people salivate at the sight.
"Oh my god, that's top quality nanmu!" Yan Bugui's eyes widened, two bright lights flashing out, "Li Yang, this kid, is chopping wood and picking mushrooms. It seems that he wants to make furniture! He can also make furniture?"
He thought about it and touched his chin unconsciously, "When the furniture is ready, can I go to their house to take a look? And then take the opportunity to ask for one or two pieces? Hehe..."
Yan Bugui was dreaming happily there, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face by reality the next moment.
Li Yang drove the car past the gate of Yan's house and suddenly turned his head to glance over here.
The look in his eyes was dark and unclear, revealing complete impatience and disgust, as if he was looking at something dirty.
As a time traveler who had watched the TV series, Li Yang already knew Yan Bugui's character very well.
In the original drama, Yan Bugui is a typical "stingy king". Not only is he unwilling to spend a penny, but he also spends all day thinking about how to take advantage of others.
Every now and then, he would go to other people's houses to ask for some salt and rice, which became a daily routine for Yan Bugui.
In this era, every household is facing difficulties, but he still takes advantage of them every day. It's really annoying.
Year after year, Yan Bugui's ability to "fleece the poor" became more and more sophisticated and notorious.
But he himself was completely unaware of it, and instead called it "helping each other, everyone adds fuel to the fire", whitewashing his dirty behavior in a high-sounding way.
Li Yang felt extremely disgusted when he thought of Yan Bugui's face in the play.
This kind of person, smiling on the surface, but secretly harboring evil intentions, always plotting against others, is truly a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to beat!
Li Yang had always disliked Yan Bugui, and now that he saw that he was eyeing his things again, he naturally became even more annoyed.
That's why he looked at Yan Bugui fiercely with such contempt.
This glance really scared Yan Bugui.
Li Yang's eyes made Yan Bugui feel like he was falling into an icy cave.
He shuddered inexplicably and quickly retracted his neck.
"Damn it, what's the look in this guy's eyes? He looks at me like an enemy." Yan Bugui thought with lingering fear, "I have no grudge against him, is there any need for such hostility?"
Could it be that Li Yang discovered that I was often taking advantage of others?
"I'm doing this for the children, too. I can't really let them starve, right?" Yan Bugui thought with a guilty conscience.
"Besides, I come to visit someone, say hello, and bring some home-cooked dishes. Isn't that human nature? Everyone helps each other out when they live their lives, right?"
Yan Bugui tried to excuse himself in his heart, but he could not escape Li Yang's contemptuous look.
On the other hand, Li Yang was completely unaware of Yan Bugui's dilemma.
He put all his attention on the wood, and was eager to show his skills right away and make a set of furniture that would make everyone in the courtyard jealous.
Li Yang first used a knife to carefully scrape off the bark and rough parts on the surface of the nanmu wood, and then used sandpaper to polish it until it was smooth and fine.
Before long, each piece of wood was renewed, exuding a soft color and a fresh wood fragrance.
Next, Li Yang sketched out geometric patterns on the wood according to the design in his mind, and then began carving.
Sometimes he used a small saw to saw, sometimes he used a chisel to chisel, and sometimes he used a carving knife to carve. He was never idle for a moment.
Soon, an oval-shaped coffee table surface took shape.
The four legs are slender and smooth, just like a graceful beauty;
The tabletop is mirror-clear, and is carved with simple and elegant peony patterns, giving people a sense of grandeur and calmness.
Li Yang looked at the almost finished coffee table and nodded with satisfaction.
