Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina
Chapter 14: Avoid like snakes and scorpions
Madam, when I woke up it was already noon the next day.
After waking up, what I heard was the endless quarreling and cursing from the first wife, the second wife, Ye Xiaolian and others.
The third family, who helped send the old lady back to the old house, heard from the doctor that the old lady was suffering from extreme anger and needed to rest, so they returned to the farm from the old house.
The villagers said that the old lady had woken up, and the third branch should go to visit her no matter what. However, the whole family felt a little awkward. After discussion, Lian took Erniu and Wulang to water the crops that they had planted a few days ago, and Ye Xiaozheng and Ye Changyan, father and son, went to visit.
Ye Changyan and his son picked out two suitable gifts from the gifts they received in the past few days and went out.
When everyone in the old house saw Ye Changyan and his son coming, although they were very unhappy in their hearts, they all had smiling faces, because before Ye Changyan and his son arrived, everyone in the old house had already discussed that no matter what, they must not offend Sanlang any more seriously.
Yesterday, Sanlang easily destroyed the plans of everyone in the old house with just a few words, and even dragged Ye Xiaolian's family into the water. Everyone underestimated Sanlang. This kid is not only good at studying, but also very smart.
After this commotion, the third family seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. No one mentioned moving back to the old house or marrying into the eldest aunt's family.
Since then, for a long time, the people from the old house and my eldest aunt's family didn't come to visit again, and the third room had a rare period of peace and quiet.
Everyone in the old house politely sent Ye Changyan and his son out of the house. Ye Changyan asked his father to go home first, and he went to the grocery store at the entrance of the village to weigh some salt and then went back.
After buying the salt, Ye Changyan walked towards the village. Along the way, the people in the village greeted him warmly. Although Ye Changyan did not know many of them, he still responded politely.
It is about two miles from the village to the farm, and you need to pass a small hill in the middle. The hill is lush and green with dense trees.
When passing the hill, he heard two "crackling" sounds. Ye Changyan looked down and found that he had stepped on a rotten wood.
Just as he was about to leave, Ye Changyan noticed something black on the rotten wood that didn't look like bark, so he squatted down to take a look.
Upon seeing this, Ye Changyan was delighted. There were many wood ears growing on the rotten wood. They looked clustered together, fresh and juicy, and of very good quality.
Ye Changyan carefully picked the fungus, found some broad leaves to wrap them, then stood up and continued walking towards the village.
Because he picked up the wood ear, out of curiosity, Ye Changyan looked along the roadside intentionally or unintentionally when passing by the hill. When passing by a pine forest, Ye Changyan found that there seemed to be mushrooms growing under the pine trees. So he bent down and dug up the scattered pine needles on the ground, and found that there were many pine fungi growing under the pine trees, with the scientific name Suillus ruber.
These pine mushrooms are good stuff. Not only are they delicious, but they are also rich in nutrients. Ye Changyan made a rough investigation and found that there were many pine mushrooms growing in this forest. Ye Changyan was very happy. He carefully picked up a few, wrapped them with leaves, and planned to go home and ask Erniu and Wulang to bring baskets to pick them together.
Ye Changyan had just returned home when Lian and her two children also came home. Ye Changyan poured the salt packed from the grocery store into the salt shaker and then carefully placed the two leaf bags on the table.
The family was very curious when they saw Ye Changyan's cautious look, but Ye Changyan was like a child who had found a treasure, and was lingering there excitedly.
"Brother, what's in this bread?"
Wulang couldn't wait any longer, so he came over, picked up one of the leaf packages, and opened it carefully.
"what!"
With a scream from Wu Lang, the leaf bag in his hand was thrown far away like a hot potato and fell right in front of Lian.
"ah!"
The bag of leaves fell in front of Lian, and the things wrapped inside also scattered. When Lian saw the things scattered at her feet, she screamed in fright.
Erniu and Ye Xiaozheng were also shocked to see the pink mushrooms scattered on the ground.
Ye Changyan was puzzled by the family's strange reaction and was about to ask when he heard Erniu ask.
"Brother, why did you pick up these poisonous things?"
"poison?"
Ye Changyan was a little puzzled, but he saw that the whole family had an expression of fear and avoidance on their faces. Could it be that he recognized the wrong mushroom? So he squatted down and picked up one, and examined it carefully. It was definitely a pine mushroom.
"Don't touch it!"
Seeing her son squatting down to pick up the poison, Lian was so scared that she quickly shouted to stop him.
"Mom, this is pine mushroom, I am not seeing it wrong."
"Don't touch, don't touch, you can't touch mushrooms!"
Seeing her son's determined expression, Lian still waved her hand at her son to stop him, as if to avoid him.
After hearing what Lian said, Ye Changyan seemed to have grasped something in his mind, so he asked back.
“Why can’t I touch this mushroom?”
"A few years ago, Guo Ergou from the east of the village went to work in the county. His wife picked mushrooms in the mountains and brought them back to eat. As a result, his mother was poisoned to death, his child became a fool, and his wife became crazy."
Every time Lian saw Guo Ergou, she would think of his stupid son and crazy daughter-in-law who were locked up at home by him, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
I see. It seems that the effects of mushroom poisoning are quite far-reaching.
"Every year the government puts up notices telling people not to pick mushrooms. Once poisoned, people may become incoherent or lose consciousness, or even die!"
Ye Xiaozheng was still terrified when he thought of the tragic experience of Guo Ergou's family, and he hurriedly added. Erniu and Wulang on the side nodded to Ye Changyan.
Ye Changyan picked up another leaf bag from the table, opened it, picked up a piece of wood ear, put it together with the pine mushroom he had just picked up from the ground, and spoke.
"Dad, Mom, do you know these two kinds of mushrooms?"
Ye Xiaozheng and Lian both shook their heads, and Erniu and Wulang followed suit.
Ye Changyan originally wanted to introduce it to them directly, but when he thought of their fearful expressions towards the mushroom, he thought of a better idea.
Ye Changyan confidently picked up a piece of fungus from the table, briefly demonstrated it in front of his family, and then said.
"This mushroom is called black fungus. It is very beneficial to the body. It can replenish qi and blood, make the skin rosy and delicate, and it has a crisp taste and is very delicious. However, if you eat this mushroom and then get exposed to the sun, you may get itchy and your skin may swell in severe cases."
When everyone heard this, their faces seemed to reveal twisted expressions of itchiness. Seeing this, Ye Changyan picked up the light red mushroom on the table and continued to explain.
"This kind of mushroom is called pine mushroom. It is very nutritious. It helps digestion and improves the skin. It tastes better than the previous ones. It is very tender and smooth. However, if you eat too much, you may get diarrhea."
When everyone heard that they would have diarrhea, they couldn't help but reach out and touch their stomachs.
"You know that eating this mushroom will make you itchy and cause diarrhea, so why did you pick it up?"
Lian asked, fear and worry showing on her face.
"Dad, Mom, don't be afraid. I have a way to detoxify these two kinds of mushrooms."
"Can you still detoxify?"
The whole family looked at Ye Changyan with disbelief.
