In the book, I was fed by my sister

After lunch, Song Ran made a culture medium for mushrooms at home.

This morning, Grandma Gu brought two more baskets that she had woven overnight, giving Song Ran a total of eight baskets to use.

Song Ran used a shovel to carefully shovel the materials that had been fermenting in the backyard for the past few days into the basket.

These fermented ingredients were newly invented by her, and she added some new things on the original basis.

Thinking of this, she felt that she did not have the talent for growing vegetables, but she had the ability to grow mushrooms.

Eight baskets took up half of the room.

Song Ran looked at his afternoon's work with satisfaction and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"If I sell all these baskets, I'll probably get four or five taels of silver."

She was so busy with her work that during the afternoon, the news that she wanted a high bride price spread in the village. This news spread quickly in the village like an invisible wind.

"I never said before that her family wanted such a high gift."

"I heard it was to cure his sister's illness."

"What's wrong? It costs so much money! Can't he walk or jump? I saw the kid playing by the water this morning."

"I heard that the old immortal in the city took good care of him, otherwise he would have died long ago."

"Song Ran is just a fool. He saved a little girl who is not even his own. He spent so much money on her treatment. After she is cured, she will be cheaper to other families in the future."

"That's right. If you delay your own affairs, she will be anxious when she gets older."

……

Towards evening, Grandma Gu returned home, carrying a piece of pork ribs and a bone, as well as two fresh pork kidneys.

Song Ran asked Grandma Gu to bring the bones.

Grandma Gu looked at Song Ran with a smile on her face and asked, "I bought some kidneys. How do you think I can make this?"

Song Ran walked forward and took the meat from Grandma Gu's hand, "You are just too polite."

"Then I'll stir-fry some kidneys. I soaked the Jiangbaicai (kelp) I bought earlier this afternoon and used it to make soup."

Grandma Gu looked at Song Ran's busy figure, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, as if she had something to say but didn't dare to say it.

Song Ran noticed her strangeness, turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I came back today and heard some gossip about you when I entered the village."

Song Ran raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What can I say?"

Granny Gu hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke out: "You said you wanted a dowry of 600 taels of silver, and everyone made it sound so convincing. What's going on?"

After listening to this, Song Ran couldn't help laughing, and couldn't stand up. After she laughed enough, she told Grandma Gu everything about what Hua Matchmaker had done for her today.

After listening to this, Grandma Gu sighed, "These troublesome things keep coming back to you. But if you say this to others, it will be hard for you to get married."

Song Ran smiled and said indifferently: "It's not easy to get married. I don't lack men to earn money for me, and I have little sisters to accompany me."

Granny Gu looked at her nonchalant expression, shook her head, and sighed, "It's all fate. When fate arrives, everything will go smoothly." Then she remembered something else, "By the way, how is the waterwheel diversion going?"

"It's almost wet the bottom. It will probably take ten days to fill it up."

Grandma Gu nodded and said, "Oh! There is one more important thing I forgot to tell you. I went to the city today and found that the clinic owned by the old immortal was robbed."

Song Ran was shocked when he heard this. "What did you steal? Money?"

"In addition to money, there were also medicines. They said several hundred-year-old ginsengs were stolen."

"I'm afraid this wasn't stolen by an outsider. If an outsider stole so many things, it would cause a big commotion."

Grandma Gu shook her head and said, "I don't know, but a lot of people were implicated. I guess the people here hooked up with the bandits, and stole all the medicines, not even the licorice."

Song Ran sighed, "This newly appointed county magistrate has encountered such a big thing right after taking office. It's really a headache."

The two chatted while preparing dinner.

Song Ran smashed the bones with an axe, washed them, and threw them into a big pot to blanch them.

Grandma Gu began to wash the soaked Chinese cabbage and prepare to make soup. After being soaked for a long time, the Chinese cabbage gave off a light salty smell.

While washing the Chinese cabbage, she asked curiously, "This stuff is delicious when cooked into soup. How much is one pound now?"

Song Ran replied: "Eighty."

This number made Grandma Gu gasp, she sighed: "The bones are only thirty, this is really expensive."

"The doctor said that I should eat more nourishing food. I thought it would be good to drink soup. I heard that this dish is very nourishing."

Grandma Gu nodded in agreement and added, "Yes, drinking it during confinement can help stimulate lactation."

"Hahahahaha!"

When Song Ran heard this, he laughed uncontrollably.

As soon as Song Li came back, she saw her elder sister's face flushed with laughter.

Song Ran wiped her tears and asked, "Why did you come back so early?"

"I saw smoke coming out of the chimney, so I knew you were cooking at home."

"I'm still blanching the blood. It'll take a while to cook the soup. Go to the vegetable garden and see what you want to eat."
