"When I came, I saw so many people at the door, so I hid it in a pile of miscellaneous items. I'll go get it now."

"Be careful, don't let anyone see you."

Before Ye Xiuying finished speaking, Wen Qingcheng left the courtyard and came back in less than two minutes, holding a bundle in her hand. When she took it to the inner hall and opened it, she saw that it was full of large and plump wild ginseng.

"I will go to the county town with Chuyi to sell it tomorrow morning."

"Well, after the sale, let's go to the county town to find Doctor Wang to settle the matter, and don't let him come to our house." Ye Xiuying instructed. Seeing Wen Qingcheng's questioning eyes, she added: "It is said that there are many gossips around a widow, so we should avoid suspicion."

Wen Qingcheng nodded after hearing this, and suddenly had a strong premonition in her heart that the original owner's father Wen Liang was not dead. But it was not easy to tell Ye Xiuying directly, for fear of giving her hope, and not finding Wen Liang would make her more disappointed. It would be better to build the house first and settle down, and then go to the capital city to look for him when she has money. Even if she finds the body, it would be good to let the original owner's father return to his hometown.

Ye Xiuying was very happy today and kept humming a little tune. It was not only because Qingcheng dug so many ginsengs. If they got rid of them all, they could build a house right away. Another reason was that she had been bullied by Zhang Sufen and Zhao Chunhua for so many years. Today she could finally stand up straight and fight back against them, expressing her dissatisfaction in her heart. This feeling was extremely refreshing.

She regretted not doing this earlier. She always hid away and sulked, thinking that they were just two shrews and there was no need to fight with them. She could just ignore them. However, she didn't expect that taking a step back would result in them bullying her even more. In the end, they even set their sights on her daughter, which crossed her bottom line.

"Qingcheng, come and take a look at the fabrics I bought. I'll make you a nice dress. I'm not bragging, my craftsmanship is not inferior to the clothing workshops in the county." Ye Xiuying picked up the fabric and put it on Wen Qingcheng's shoulders, her eyes full of admiration: "It's really beautiful. My daughter will look good in any dress."

"It's because my mother has good taste."

"Mom has good taste, and my daughter is pretty. And there are Zicheng, Chuyi, and yours, too."

"Oh~ We have new clothes to wear." Zicheng and Chuyi hugged each other happily, jumping and shouting.

At sunset, Wen Qingcheng asked Chuyi to fetch water from the well, and she poured out the fungus from the cloth bag.

"Chuyi, Qingcheng, don't move. You are all tired from climbing the mountain today. Just sit there and rest. I will cook for you." Ye Xiuying was so happy tonight.

"Mom, you must be tired after going to town today. Let me cook the meal. Let you taste my stir-fried cucumber and black fungus."

Wen Qingcheng put the fungus in the vegetable basin to wash it, and asked Chuyi to wash the cucumber that Song Jiao, the daughter-in-law of his third uncle, had sent two days ago. The cucumber in the Great Qi Dynasty was actually cucumber.

Ye Xiuying had no time to stay idle. Her illness had now healed and she had plenty of strength. She took the washed cucumber and sliced ​​it on the chopping board, then cut a piece of camphor flesh and sliced ​​it into thin slices.

"Qingcheng, you said this fungus is not poisonous, but no one has ever eaten it."

"It's not poisonous. I read my father's book when I was a kid. Fungus is not only non-toxic but also nutritious. It can clear away heat and cool the blood."

"You saw this when you were a kid. Are you sure it's this? It looks black to me. We'd better not eat it. If it doesn't taste good, it will ruin the whole pot of food."

"Don't worry, I've already eaten. Mom, go and steam the rice after you finish cutting."

After the fungus was washed and soaked, Wen Qingcheng went to the kitchen to heat oil in a pan. After sautéing the onions and garlic, she put the camphor meat into the pan and stir-fried it. The camphor meat is much more delicious than pork. After the meat is fried, pour it into a plate for later use. Then pour the cucumber and fungus into the wok. After a while, the freshness of the cucumber and the smoothness of the fungus collided in the wok, releasing an enticing aroma.

Finally, Wen Qingcheng poured the meat in, added soy sauce, salt and other seasonings, and drizzled a little water. He asked Chuyi to quickly fan the fire under the stove. Wen Qingcheng introduced the fire into the pot and stir-fried it for a few seconds. He stretched out his leg and kicked Chuyi who was squatting in front of the stove, signaling him not to fan anymore. A plate of stir-fried cucumber and black fungus was perfectly served.

Afterwards, Wen Qingcheng made another dish of stir-fried black fungus with green pepper and eggs. The rice was already steamed, and the family lit candles and sat around the small square table. There weren't many dishes for four people, but the quantity was large.

Seeing that they didn't eat first, Wen Qingcheng picked up the chopsticks and picked up the fungus and put it into her mouth. "It's so delicious, worthy of my cooking skills."

Seeing Wen Qingcheng eating, Zicheng also picked up the spoon and ate a piece of fungus. His eyes lit up instantly. It was soft and tender in the mouth, not bitter at all. It was so delicious.

Ye Xiuying originally found it difficult to eat because it looked black, but seeing their reactions, it seemed really delicious, so she took a small bite with rice and chewed it carefully. It was indeed smooth and delicious. Because it was fried with meat, the texture and taste was a bit like meat.

Soon, the two plates of food were cleaned up by the family. After dinner, the family chatted for a while and prepared to go to bed. The villagers went to bed early. They had no electronic devices and no entertainment. In addition, lamp oil and candles cost money. Therefore, before nine o'clock, Crescent Moon Village was dark. Even the dogs went into their kennels early.

In the darkness, there was only a little light. In the Wen family compound, the lights were on in the room of the eldest Wen. The third Wen family was also there, and it was unknown what they were plotting. When the third Wen went back to his room to rest, a smile of success appeared on his face.

At dawn, Wen Qingcheng and Chuyi set off for the county. After handing all the ginseng to Doctor Wang, the two of them strolled around the county, and Wen Qingcheng bought some cosmetics.

Although she had stockpiled a lot of skin care products and cosmetics in the space, if she didn't buy cosmetics from this world and suddenly started putting on makeup, it would definitely arouse suspicion. In addition, she also bought a lot of fruits, vegetables and cooked food.

Wen Qingcheng and Chuyi got off the boat at the river bank at the entrance of the village carrying their things. Not long after they stepped into the house, they heard someone knocking on the door.

Ye Xiuying opened the door and saw several people from the village. "Hey? Sister Chen, Sister Hu."

The tall and strong Chen Dasao smiled so hard that her eyebrows were not visible when she saw Ye Xiuying: "Zicheng's mother, I heard that your family went to the county to sell black ears? Is that black stuff really edible?"

Another woman, Mrs. Hu, whose breasts drooped down to her belly, also smiled and greeted them: "I didn't expect that city people like to eat these weird things. You are smart. We only know how to farm. The harvest has been poor in the past two years, and every household is almost out of food. You are smart."

As soon as the two of them started talking, two idle men immediately gathered around to watch the fun.

Ye Xiuying groaned in her heart, but she didn't expect that the news would spread among the villagers in less than a day. She knew it was the words of the Wen family.
