After understanding the thoughts of animals, I became more successful in escaping famine!

The old man was wearing a headscarf and his face was black, and it was obvious that he had been through a lot of wind and sand.

Then, as Song Wanning was expecting, the old man babbled something that Song Wanning could not understand at all.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly asked Amir for help.

Amir had eaten a lot of Song Wanning's food, which naturally came in handy at this time.

She translated what Song Wanning had just said to the old man in barbarian language, and then the old man finished speaking and translated it to Song Wanning again.

"Sister, this old lady said that these mushrooms were dug out from the sand in front of her house. She didn't know what they were called, but they were edible. They usually roasted them and they were delicious."

"In the sand?" Song Wanning was confused.

"Then tell her that I want to buy all these mushrooms, and ask her if she can take us to the sandy land where they are picked."

Amil translated obediently, and the old man became excited after listening.

"Sister, she said no, that's her property, you're robbing her, she won't tell you."

Song Wanning looked at Yun Che with a headache.

Yun Che said nothing and handed the purse to Song Wanning.

Song Wanning directly took out the largest silver ingot, which looked to be about six or seven taels.

When the old man saw it, his eyes widened. Fearing that Song Wanning would go back on her word, he quickly took the silver and took them to the sand to see mushrooms.

When they got there, Song Wanning discovered that the sand was not the loose kind. It was loose on the surface but very compact underneath. And the white mushrooms grew under the sand.

The old man was explaining in babbling voices, and Amil acted as a little translator to tell Song Wanning.

"She said that this mushroom can only be eaten when it is picked under the sand. By the time it breaks through the soil, most of them are rotten and cannot be eaten."

Following the old man's description, Song Wanning found a piece of cracked sand, and pushed it open with her hands, and sure enough, she discovered white mushrooms.

She pulled it up with force and heard a crisp breaking sound.

This mushroom actually has roots?

I just don't know if there are spores. If so, can't it be planted on a large scale?

Song Wanning dug out all the soil underneath and prepared to take it back for research.

By the way, try this mushroom to see if it tastes good.

On the way back, Song Wanning searched for a long time before finding a stall selling chickens, and the prices were very expensive.

Song Wanning waved her hand and bought all the remaining chickens, preparing to go back and make chicken stewed with mushrooms!

She was like the leader of the children, with Ami'er and Ajing'er, two little followers, and Yun Che, who was carrying things, following behind her.

The two little guys had never eaten chicken stewed with mushrooms, so they were very excited.

When I returned to the inn, I saw Ahaotai sitting there with an angry look on his face. When he saw Amil and Ajing'er, he picked up a wooden stick and was about to hit them.

"You two little bastards, I've been looking for you all afternoon. Where have you been playing? You didn't even tell me that you didn't allow the servants to follow you. You really deserve a beating!"

The two little guys were so scared that they hid behind Song Wanning. Seeing that A Haotai was still moving, they cleverly ran behind Yun Che.

Now Ahaotai stopped.

"cloud......"

The three words "General Yun" almost came out of his mouth, but Ahaotai quickly stopped and changed his address.

"Brother Yun, please get out of the way first. I want to teach these two disobedient brats a lesson!"

"Brother Yun, save us!"

When Ahaotai heard this name, he burst into laughter.

If my daughter and son call Yun Che brother, doesn’t that mean Yun Che is a generation younger than me?

Having taken advantage of Yun Che for no reason, Ah Haotai's anger had almost subsided.

"Alright, I won't hit you anymore. Go upstairs and apologize to your mother. She's worried sick."

Only when they saw Ahaotai throw away the stick in his hand did Amil and Ajing'er believe him and ran upstairs.

Song Wanning took the mushrooms from Yun Che's hand and spread them out for Ahaotai to see: "Chief Ahaotai, do you know what these are?"

Ahaotai shook his head. "Compared to some wild animals from the common people, they are nothing special. You came to the barbarians, why buy these? Why not try some roasted meat here? I'll ask the innkeepers to make it. It will be ready soon."

Song Wanning smiled and said, "Don't worry, I also have something delicious for you to try."

Upstairs, Ajing'er poked his head out from the gap in the railing: "Sister, don't forget the chicken stewed with mushrooms!"

Song Wanning waved at him, indicating that she understood.

In the evening, the chicken stewed with mushrooms was ready. Song Wanning took a bite first and found it tasted exceptionally delicious.

Only after she was sure that it contained no toxins and would not be harmful to the human body did she feel comfortable giving it to others.

Ajing'er and Amil fell in love with the taste, and even Ahaotai was amazed.

“I didn’t expect that there is such delicious food in our country.”

"I see that only one store in the market sells it, and few people buy it. I think it's because no one knows how to eat it, and it's rare. If we can grow it in large quantities, not only can we feed the people, but we can also make a lot of money if we sell it to the Central Plains."

"Sell them to the Central Plains? Little girl, you are too naive. The Central Plains has not traded with us for a long time. I heard that your emperor is vindictive and incompetent. If it weren't for him closing the trade ports, how could my people become so embarrassed?"

Ahaotai also has resentment.

Song Wanning and Yun Che looked at each other, and Yun Che spoke: “This time when I go back, I will report to His Majesty and ask him to reopen the trade ports between the two countries. We will also carefully select the people who come to trade with us.”

Ah Haotai really showed a look of delight: "Really!?"

Yun Che nodded: “A gentleman’s word is as good as his bond.”

"In that case, I have to thank General Yun!"

Ahaotai was so happy that he blurted out the words.

The two little guys who were eating dropped the chicken legs in their mouths when they heard this, and looked at Yun Che in shock.

Ami'er and Ajing'er's mother also pointed at Yun Che, speechless with shock: "You! You are the one, the one from the Yun Family Army..."

Ahaotai quickly covered her mouth: "Keep your voice down!"

Ajing'er looked at Yun Che with admiration through her big watery eyes, and even forgot to eat.

"Brother, are you General Yun? Can you teach me martial arts? I want to beat ten people with one punch. I want to become so strong that I can beat my father down!"

Ahaotai was so angry that he slapped him on the back of the head, but the force was very light.

"What are you talking about, you little brat? You are such a traitor! Are you trying to kill your father?"

Amiel smacked her lips and said, "Sister, are you the general's wife?"

Song Wanning's eyes narrowed as she smiled: "Not yet."

"Is that because my brother doesn't want to marry you? Why don't you marry us? Then I can have delicious food every day!" She was very excited and spoke with some anticipation.
