The fragrance of medicine is alluring, the farm elder sister is cool and cool

Wen Qingcheng had just finished cleaning the dishes and the yard. The family sat on the stone benches in the yard to rest. They were so tired that they didn't even want to eat dinner.

At noon, several aunts and ladies from the village came to learn how to make black fungus and had a meal at the same time. They wanted to help clean up after the meal. Ye Xiuying felt embarrassed and sent them away with a few polite words.

In the whole afternoon, I cleaned the kitchen and the yard, and put away all the supplies brought by the villagers. After finishing the whole process, even Chuyi was so tired that he couldn't speak.

There was another knock on the door. Ye Xiuying's expression tensed and she thought: It can't be happening again.

"Qingcheng, go and take a look."

"Chuyi, you go." Wen Qingcheng was too lazy to move, so she kicked Chuyi's stool and asked him to go.

"Zicheng, go ahead, it's your turn this time." Chuyi grinned foolishly and pushed Zicheng. Only then did Qingcheng realize that they were actually lining up to open the door.

Wen Zicheng trotted over to open the door, and looked up to see a tall and thin man.

"Third brother." Wen Zicheng called out timidly. Ruan Sanlang smiled and rubbed Zicheng's hair, then walked in with the fish.

"Sanlang is here." When Ye Xiuying saw that it was Ruan Sanlang, she quickly stood up.

"Aunt, my brothers and I caught a lot of fish today. We picked out two fat ones and brought them to you and your child to nourish your body."

"Third brother, you are too polite." Wen Qingcheng looked at the fish in Ruan Sanlang's hand. It was indeed big enough.

"There's a fish." Chuyi suddenly became alert and reached out to take the fish.

Ye Xiuying didn't intend to accept it. She didn't have anything good to give to others. They couldn't eat such a good fish during the Chinese New Year. Seeing Chuyi, who was quick, happily holding the fish, she smiled awkwardly.

"Chuyi, bring it here and give the fish to the owner."

Chuyi was obviously reluctant and turned to look at Wen Qingcheng.

"Third brother, we will keep one of the fish and you can take the other one back. You have a big family too. It will go bad if we can't finish it." Wen Qingcheng said as she took a fish from Chuyi's hand and stuffed it into Ruan Sanlang's hand.

"We make a living by fishing, and they are tired of eating them. My mother picked some fungus today to change the taste."

"By the way, Sanlang, take these back." Ye Xiuying quickly walked into the kitchen and picked up a basket of vegetables that the neighbors brought today and gave it to Ruan Sanlang.

"Aunt, what are you doing?"

After some refusing, Ye Xiuying invited Ruan Sanlang to have dinner with her. However, Ruan Sanlang's family had dinner early and had already finished, so they said goodbye and went home.

"Sanlang, come to our house often when you have nothing to do." Ye Xiuying and Wen Qingcheng sent Ruan Sanlang to the door.

Ruan Sanlang walked a few steps and stopped, then turned around and said, "Aunt, Qingcheng, at 3 p.m. I saw everyone from your Wen family's old house go out, pushing iron carts and carrying large baskets. It looked like they were heading to the back mountain."

"I think they went to the mountains. Now every household has started to eat wood ear mushrooms, so they must want to try it too. Let's just ignore them." Ye Xiuying said.

Ruan Sanlang nodded and said, "They are in a hurry. You should be careful. If you have any problem, come to the riverbank to find me."

......

The next day, Wen Qingcheng called Chuyi to go to the county with her, firstly to deliver the ginseng, and secondly because Ye Xiuying's medicine was almost finished, so she went to get a few more doses.

This time I went to the county town and got a lot. The ginseng I sent last time was sold by Doctor Wang at twice the price. This time Wen Qingcheng sent it, and I took it all. I kept one as a gift and used the rest to make medicine.

Wen Qingcheng was paid in cash, a silver note for 50 taels. It was the first time for Wen Qingcheng to see a silver note for taels, and she held it and looked at it for a long time.

She sighed secretly that when she first crossed over, she was sold to the butcher for three taels of silver. That much money was enough to buy more than a dozen of her. She was a living person, but she was not as valuable as medicinal herbs. Wen Qingcheng smiled bitterly and shook her head.

On the way back, passing by a restaurant, Wen Qingcheng walked in with the idea of ​​giving it a try, and a waiter came to greet her immediately.

"What would you like to eat?" The waiter looked them over quickly, and seeing Chuyi looking around with a silly smile on his face, he knew he was a fool and was a little displeased, but still asked them to sit down.

"Young man, I want to find your shopkeeper."

The waiter threw the towel over his shoulder, stood up straight, and asked, "What do you want to see our shopkeeper for?"

"I have some mountain products, and I want to ask him if he wants them."

"What mountain products?"

Wen Qingcheng didn't answer, and said to the waiter: "Brother, I want a pot of green tea and a plate of peony rolls. Please serve me the tea first."

After that, he took out a string of copper coins from his cloth bag. The waiter took the money and smiled: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go ask the shopkeeper to come over."

Soon, a middle-aged man in a khaki gown came over. Wen Qingcheng stood up to greet him and gestured to the shopkeeper to sit down.

"I heard you have some mountain products to sell?"

Wen Qingcheng didn't say much, and directly took out a small porcelain jar from the cloth bag and opened it. The shopkeeper looked down and his eyebrows twisted into a knot.

"What is this, it's black." The shopkeeper put it under his nose and sniffed it with a look of disgust.

"This is black fungus, which can be used in stir-fry or as a cold dish. This jar is fried black fungus pickles."

"Who would eat this? It grows on rotten wood and is poisonous."

"This thing is not poisonous. Everyone in our village eats it. It is a kind of fungus that can replenish energy and nourish the body. It tastes very delicious when fried with yam."

The shopkeeper saw that Wen Qingcheng was so confident in what she said and realized that their restaurant was in urgent need of some innovative dishes to attract customers.

"Xiao Peng, bring the dishes and chopsticks."

The shopkeeper asked the waiter to bring bowls and chopsticks, poured out the fungus and soup in the porcelain jar, picked up a piece with chopsticks, and looked at it carefully.

"Boss, is this edible?" The waiter looked at it with some disgust.

The shopkeeper put it in his mouth, took a small bite, and chewed it carefully. It was so crispy and delicate, a taste he had never tasted before.

"How is it? It will be more fragrant if it is served with stir-fried dishes. It is also delicious when served cold and is rich in nutrition." Wen Qingcheng turned into a gold medal salesman.

The shopkeeper didn't say anything, and stuffed the whole piece of fungus into his mouth and chewed it. He nodded while eating. "Not bad, Xiaopeng, would you like to try it?"

The waiter was reluctant at first, but the shopkeeper had already eaten it and didn't seem to see anything unusual, so he took the chopsticks and ate one. It was tender, smooth, crispy, and the fresh and salty taste blossomed in his taste buds, so he picked up another one with chopsticks.

"Shopkeeper, this is okay. Is it the wild fungus? I saw it in the countryside when I was a child."

"Which village are you from?" asked the shopkeeper.

"From Yueya Village, there is this kind of fungus in the deep mountains behind us. If we reach a cooperation, we can deliver it to your door."

"I never thought this thing could be made into a dish. I can buy less and have our kitchen staff try it out before serving it to customers. If everyone can accept it, we can discuss future cooperation."

"Okay, I also brought a bag of dried black fungus, you can try it first." Wen Qingcheng reached into the cloth bag, but her consciousness was in the space, and she took out a bag of dried black fungus from the space.

"This is dry. It can be stored for a long time after being dried and will not get infested with insects. Whenever you need it, just put it in water and it will quickly become swollen. You can ask your chef to try stir-frying black fungus with fresh walnut kernels."

Before leaving, Wen Qingcheng left their home address. The shopkeeper was very happy to see that Wen Qingcheng gave him such a big bag of black fungus for free to try, and personally sent the two out of the store.
