When Mrs. Xu saw so many mushrooms, she said she wanted to go to the street to buy a pound of meat and have fried meat with mushrooms for lunch.

Everyone agreed with this suggestion. Stir-fried meat with mushrooms is so fragrant and delicious.

Mr. Chen started discussing the wormwood paste with her, "Mingshu, do you still have any wormwood paste in stock? The wormwood paste in our shop is selling so well. It's only been a few days, and the ones we ordered before are almost sold out."

Mr. Chen was a little distressed about this matter. It was a good thing that the mugwort paste was selling well, which also showed that everyone recognized him and the effectiveness of the mugwort paste.

But now Mingshu is working as a laborer in his shop and learning to read, and cannot often make mugwort paste at home. This not only limits the quantity of mugwort paste produced, but also delays Mingshu's learning to read. In short, it is not easy for him to bring up this matter.

"It's okay, Uncle Chen. I still have some in stock at home. I'll bring it to you tomorrow. I'm not the only one in my family who can make it. My eldest sister and second sister all know how to make it. I've already taught them the method. I guarantee you'll have as much as you want."

Chen Sheng laughed when he heard this. "Oh, that's a good feeling, that's a good feeling. This way we can do both without any delay. Then I have nothing to worry about. Go ahead and get busy."

After not coming here for a few days, Zhou Mingshu had forgotten some of the pharmacology he had learned before. While looking at the herbs, he reviewed the knowledge he had learned before.

Even if she is not at home, Zhou Mingqi and Zhou Mingqin will do all the housework.

Not long after, people started to visit Baicaotang one after another.

She greeted customers carefully, but most of them came to buy mugwort cream. They gave money and she gave them the mugwort cream, and the payment was made in full, so it was not too much trouble.

Mr. Chen was so busy that he felt a little hot. He wiped the sweat off his forehead when he had time. "Mingshu, now you can see that our mugwort paste is selling quite well." Mr. Chen said with a smile, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Yeah, it's really good. This year, it's all thanks to Uncle Chen. If it weren't for Uncle Chen, this mugwort paste might not be sold."

"Ah~ That's wrong. Good things can be sold anywhere. You made our family earn so much money. I am just taking advantage of your Zhou family."

The two did not end their conversation until Chen Banxia came over after finishing her meal.

……

Lao Zhou’s task today is to wash the mushrooms, cut them into thin slices, and plan to make mushroom oil.

Old Mrs. Zhou took out the lard jar and saw that the lard was gone again.

"Boss, boss, I'll give you some money and ask you to bring me ten kilograms of fat meat. I don't believe that you can easily use up all the lard after cooking ten kilograms of fat meat."

Seeing that Old Madam Zhou wanted to cook ten kilograms of fat, everyone in the Zhou family was a little shocked. In addition to shock, they were also surprised. This was a generous amount that even Old Man Zhou didn't have when he was alive. It not only meant that everyone would have endless lard residue, but also more lard to eat.

Boss Zhou put on the backpack and went out happily with the money.

He first went to Wang Youcai's home, found Wang Youcai and asked him if he wanted to go to the slaughterhouse with him to buy fat meat.

Wang Youcai has a lot of mushrooms at home, but he can't eat them all and he has dried them all. It would be better to learn from him and pick up a few pounds of fat meat to make some oil, and make more mushroom oil, which will taste so delicious.

When Wang Youcai heard that Boss Zhou was going to the slaughterhouse to buy fat meat, he dropped his work and said with a smile, "Just buy meat, why do you have to go to the slaughterhouse? Can you buy a few dozen kilograms?"

"Hey, you're right. I can't buy dozens of kilograms by myself, but if we buy together, we can buy more than ten kilograms. It's not just one or two kilograms. It's more cost-effective for us to go to the slaughterhouse than to go to the town to buy."

Wang Youcai's eyes rolled and he agreed, "Okay, let's go together, but I have to say this first, I definitely can't buy more than ten kilograms, I can only buy two or three kilograms at most." He stretched out three fingers and spoke in a low voice.

When Boss Zhou saw Wang Youcai agreed, he laughed and said, "I don't care how many kilograms you buy. If you buy, we can go together. If you don't, I will go alone."

"Brother Ren, Brother Ren, wait for me, I'm going to ask my wife for money, wait for me." Wang Youcai ran to the main room in a hurry. Soon he came out with a purse, picked up the backpack and went out with Zhou Lao Da.

"Brother Ren, this time it's all thanks to you. If it were any other time, my wife would definitely not agree to buy meat to make mushroom oil."

Zhou Shouren smiled and said, "You are stingy, and the woman you married is also stingy. You two are really stingy together. You picked so many mushrooms, don't you plan to make some mushroom oil? Your Dashan is old enough to get married, you are not afraid of not being able to find a daughter-in-law. Your family is not like mine. My family is poor. Besides, look at how thin you four are."

Wang Youcai was a little embarrassed by what he said. Brother Zhou made sense. "Yes, yes, but the situation has improved a bit in the past two years. As long as the harvest is good, everything will be fine."

"That's right." Speaking of the harvest, Zhou Shouren's smile became even brighter. "The harvest this year is pretty good. When are you going to sell your millet? Call me and we'll sell it together."

"to make."

The two grown men chatted as they walked, and soon they arrived at the slaughterhouse.

Boss Zhou asked for ten pounds of fat meat, which scared Wang Youcai.

"Brother Ren, does Aunt Zhou know that you bought these ten kilograms of fat meat?"

I'm really afraid that when I get back, Brother Ren will be chased and beaten by Aunt Zhou.

"Of course I know. She asked me to buy it. What do you think? She is quite generous. I am tired of eating food without oil. It is good to make mushroom oil from mushrooms. You should learn from her."

Seeing that Zhou Shouren bought ten kilograms of fat meat, Wang Youcai was also very tempted. It happened that the meat at the slaughterhouse was cheaper, so he gritted his teeth and bought another kilogram. If his wife was unhappy when he got home, he would just coax her.

Seeing that the two men were generous and carried a total of 14 pounds of fat meat, the slaughterhouse owner waved his hand and gave them a lot of hard-to-sell pork offal and pork bones without any meat. The two men went back with their backpacks full of things, feeling very happy.

Even if you want to cut ten pounds of fat into slices, it will take a while to cut it, and it is unknown how long it will take to simmer it. Old Mrs. Zhou is old and her shoulders hurt a little, so she has to leave these tasks to her eldest and second daughters-in-law.

She took her granddaughter, grandson and daughter-in-law to clean and slice the mushrooms.

The family worked until noon and finally managed to cut the mushrooms. Old Mrs. Zhou rubbed her sore waist, picked up a large cattail leaf fan, fanned herself with the air, and went to the door to enjoy the cool air.

Let the rest of the work be left to the young people. She, an old woman who is about to die, has no right to get involved in these matters.
