The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby

Chapter 65: Teaching the Su Family to Grow Mushrooms

Hua Xiyu took Miao Sanniang's certificate and used an eyebrow pencil to change one to six. After looking left and right, he found no flaws. He put the certificate in his pocket and went out happily, humming happily along the way and happily continued to prepare to catch the bus.

Soon, she successfully got on a carriage. A mother and daughter initially refused to let her get on because she was a man. Hua Xiyu saw through their hesitation at a glance, then sadly revealed his identity and showed them the article.

The mother and daughter were filled with sympathy and took her to Naxia Town and let her stay at home for one night. In return, Hua Xiyu taught the young lady a set of massage techniques to help her mother relieve headaches, and the mother and daughter sent her away with thousands of thanks.

Silent all night.

On the second day, she continued to rush towards Muduo Town. For safety reasons, she only took women's cars, or at least there had to be women in the car. As long as she revealed the fact that she was disguised as a man, showed people her introduction, and told the story in a miserable way, she almost always got a ride smoothly. Along the way, she also learned a lot about local customs, national situation, etc.

After changing several cars, she finally got on a caravan heading directly to Muduo Town on the third day. She sat quietly in the carriage carrying servants at the back. There were two girls in the carriage. They were annoyed that their seats were taken up, and they also disliked that she was a woman but had to wear men's clothes. They looked unhappy towards Hua Xiyu, but Hua Xiyu didn't care. People will always be unhappy when others infringe upon their interests. The size of the interests determines the degree of reaction.

She pretended to be deaf and dumb all the way, and learned from their conversation that this was the Su family's caravan, which was framed in the capital, and its business went bankrupt. Now the whole family has moved back to their hometown in the old county.

The carriage rocked for the whole morning, and at noon we had lunch in a forest in the mountains. Everyone got off the carriage and strolled around to stretch their legs. The children excitedly went to the creek to play in the water and catch fish, while some went up the mountain to pick mushrooms. Infected by the atmosphere, Hua Xiyu also wanted to go to the river to play.

When he was about to roll up his trouser legs, a young man rushed down the mountain with a handful of mushrooms in his hand and bumped into Hua Xiyu happily. Hua Xiyu quickly moved aside to make way for him. Seeing that the young man could not stop and was about to rush into the river, Hua Xiyu just scooped him up and grabbed him.

"How reckless! How disgraceful!" A middle-aged man got off a carriage. He was about 40 years old, gentle and polite, and looked very gentle. However, his gentle appearance could not conceal his experience in the business world. He looked at the man carrying his son with sharp eyes. The butler Wen Bo who followed him was the one who decided to let Hua Xiyu take the ride. He walked up to the middle-aged man and whispered, "Master, this man is hitchhiking on the road. I felt sorry for him, so I gave him a ride."

The middle-aged man walked forward and pulled his confused son over. The young man looked at the mushrooms scattered on the ground and squatted down to pick them up without caring about the situation.

Although saying "thank you" is not a big deal, it is still necessary to be well mannered.

"You're welcome".

The middle-aged man thanked him and turned away. The young man had already picked up all the mushrooms. "Uncle Wen, you can have mushroom soup at noon."

Wen Bo laughed and said, "Second Master, you can't just eat mushrooms randomly. Some mushrooms are poisonous."

Hua Xiyu looked over in the direction of the sound and saw the boy holding mushrooms and wanting to wash them in the river. She took a step closer, looked carefully at the mushrooms in the boy's hand, and said, "Old man, these mushrooms are non-toxic and can be eaten."

"Girl, can you recognize mushrooms?" the old man asked curiously.

"Well, I know a little bit." The image that flashed through her mind was the scene of cooking mushrooms in the wild. To survive in the wild, knowing wild foods is a basic skill. Mushrooms, wild fruits, etc. are all necessary. If you accidentally eat something poisonous, you will be asking for death.

Hearing that the young man knew a little, the old man didn't take it seriously, thinking, "Everyone knows a little." The old man walked back and instructed the young man, "Second Young Master, just to be on the safe side, just throw it away."

Hua Xiyu knew that the old man didn't trust her, but who would joke about their life? She smiled, stepped forward and took the mushrooms from the "Second Young Master"'s hand, "These mushrooms are divided into cultivated and wild. I have seen others cultivate the varieties that this young master picked, so I know they are not poisonous and can be eaten."

Of course they themselves can't be sure, so for safety reasons, throwing it away is the wisest thing to do.

But Wen Bo heard a different voice, "Someone has grown it before." If mushrooms can also be grown, then is that right? Wen Bo didn't dare to think about it, thinking it was a bit unrealistic.

The "Second Young Master" was patiently listening to Hua Xiyu's theory on how to distinguish poisonous and non-toxic mushrooms. "If you really can't tell the difference, there is a simplest way. Anything that looks beautiful may be poisonous. On the contrary, those that are less eye-catching may not be poisonous. The most important point is that when cooking mushrooms, you must cook them for more than ten minutes, or more than a quarter of an hour. This is safer."

"Thank you, sister." The second young master felt that he had learned something. He did not expect that a strange woman knew so much. "How do you know so much, sister?" The second young master asked naively. A boy of thirteen or fourteen is at the age when he has strong vitality, strong curiosity, strong learning ability, and is full of rebelliousness. Wen Bo asked him to throw it away, but he insisted on cooking it.

"Miss, are you saying that you can grow these mushrooms yourself?" Wen Bo took the mushrooms from the second young master's hand. The look of disbelief but desire to verify made Hua Xiyu feel a little embarrassed, as if he was really bragging.

When the second young master heard that he could grow the seeds himself, he turned his head to look at her with his eyes shining. He looked delighted and incredulous, as if he had found gold.

"Well, of course. I saw it with my own eyes, so how can I say nothing?"

"Excuse me, young lady, where is your family..." Wen Bo, who had been careless at the side, suddenly became alert and a little excited.

"As for me, ah..." I don't even know where my house is, what should I say.

"I am sorry for being rude, please forgive me, young lady." Seeing that the other party seemed to be hesitant to speak, Wen Bo suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Sister, tell me, tell me quickly?" The second young master next to her had already woken up from his excitement, his face full of curiosity.

"Second Young Master..." Wen Bo wanted to say, this is someone else's family's way, how can he find out, he sighed and wanted to leave.

Hua Xiyu thought she understood but in fact she didn't understand at all. She understood that people at that time didn't know how to grow mushrooms at home, but she didn't understand that when the young man wanted to learn, the old man thought it was someone else's secret recipe and he shouldn't covet it.

She called out to Wen Bo who was about to leave, "Old man, you are so kind to give me a ride. I have nothing and nothing to give in return. I will teach you how to grow mushrooms, and that will be my reward." Hua Xiyu could already tell that the owner of the caravan was in a bad mood and had hardly shown up along the way. It was obvious that his business had failed miserably.

She taught them how to grow mushrooms just like she taught Miao Sanniang how to grow bean sprouts, as a way of repaying them for their kindness in giving her the ride.

Wen Bo's eyes lit up, then dimmed again in an instant. Since we have such a good idea, why do you, girl, have to take our car even though you don't have the money?

Hua Xiyu saw his doubts and did not intend to explain. He just said, "It's very simple to grow mushrooms." So he didn't care whether the old man listened or not, and pulled the second young master and explained it to him in detail. Finally, he took the non-toxic mushroom from the "second young master" and said, "This is non-toxic and can be used as a strain of fungus. Just try it. If it doesn't work, just pretend I never said anything." After saying that, he looked at Wen Bo and the second young master, and finally said, "Don't worry, my family doesn't do business, I guarantee that you are the only one."

The old man didn't dare to believe it at first and listened politely. Later, he was so absorbed in listening that he didn't realize when his boss was standing behind him. When Hua Xiyu finished speaking, the old man's eyes lit up and he was extremely excited. He turned around and saw his boss, "Boss..."

The boy behind him also called out timidly, "Dad!"

"Well, I heard everything." Su Yi looked at the old housekeeper soothingly, then at his son, and then said to Hua Xiyu, "Miss, can you talk to me in detail?"

So Hua Xiyu explained again in detail the key points of mushroom cultivation, "Boss Su, if you make a fortune with these mushrooms in the future, I'll need your help if I need anything."

The reward for a ride is a business, which is too high for Su Yi. It is unbelievably high and becomes a burden. Only an equal exchange can make people feel at ease. Therefore, Hua Xiyu suggested that if he needs help in the future, please lend a hand.

"Miss, I won't ask your name. My ancestral home is in that old county. Thirty percent of the income from mushroom cultivation will go to you," he said, taking out a jade token from his bosom and handing it to her. "This is the highest-level token of my Su family's business. There are only two of them. One is in my hand, and the other is kept by my eldest son Su Ziqin. With this token, you can withdraw money from any Su family business."

Hua Xiyu was shocked. This was too straightforward. He only taught him how to grow mushrooms, but he gave him the highest level equipment. It felt like he had joined some organization. It was a bit creepy.

"No thanks, old man. Just give me a ride, and this is just my reward."

"Girl, please keep it. You may not be able to find your father and brother this time. You are a woman alone, and it will be inconvenient. Although my Su family has been hurt by this disaster, we can soon make a comeback with these mushrooms. All this is thanks to you, so how can I not repay you?" Su Yi insisted on handing over the letter. With his many years of experience in the business world, the girl's so-called father and brother may not be real, but what does it matter? She has really given him the mushroom growing business, and that is enough.

"Su will deposit the mushroom harvest into the Su family business for you every year. You just need to use it."

Hua Xiyu thought about it and decided, okay, whether he could use it or not, he could talk about it later. Money is a person’s courage. If he has just arrived and has some money in the bank, he will have the confidence, so he might as well keep it.

So he generously accepted the token.

After lunch, the convoy continued to move forward. Hua Xiyu was invited to a separate carriage in the front. Master Su also prepared a large bag of things including clothes, food, silver, etc. An hour later, the convoy arrived at Muduo Town.

"Miss Miao, let your youngest son Yu see you off for the last time," Su Yi and the "Second Young Master" each led a horse and immediately prepared their bags.

Hua Xiyu felt that these words were really awkward. What did they mean by the last journey? It sounded like she was going to die. She knew what they meant, but she didn't want anyone to know about her affairs. She was about to refuse, but she saw the "Second Young Master" took the horse corpse from his father's hand and stuffed it directly into Hua Xiyu's hand, "Sister Miao, I'll take you wherever you say. Besides, I have to follow you to get the horse back."

Well, that seemed to be true. A horse was not cheap, and she didn't want to hike up the mountain. Su Yi didn't ask her where she was going, but only told Su Ziyu to make sure to get Miss Miao there safely.

The second young master Su Ziyu was a chatterbox and never stopped talking all the way, "Sister Miao, what are you checking when you dismounted?"

"Sister Miao, isn't it normal to have grass on this road?"

"Sister Miao, why do you live in the mountains?"

"Sister Miao, you know my name is Su Ziyu, right?"

"Su Ziyu, you're so noisy!" Shuiyue Temple was right in front of her. She didn't want to go into Shuiyue Temple, and she didn't want Su Ziyu to go there.

"Just send you here. I'll return the horse to you. Go and catch up with your father." He dismounted from the horse, handed the reins to Su Ziyu, turned around and walked up the mountain. He didn't want to stay with the child for a moment longer. He chattered the whole time like a sparrow.

Su Ziyu finally shut up, obviously reluctant to leave. Looking at her back, she couldn't help but speak again, "Sister Miao, do you live in Shuiyue Temple? Can I come to see you? My home is in the old county. Will you come to see me?"

Hua Xiyu just kept walking and didn't want to answer a single word. If this young man kept thinking about her, she was afraid that she would not have a peaceful life.

"Sister Miao, this is what my father prepared for you." The young man ran up to her, slung the bag over her shoulders, turned around, and rode his horse down the mountain. It was too late for Hua Xiyu to say no.

The little guy is obviously sad. Haha, if he goes back and has a nice meal and a good sleep, he will forget everything.
