Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

"Don't worry, I have my own way to detoxify, which is why I picked these two kinds of mushrooms. You won't feel itchy or have diarrhea after eating them. And I guarantee that you won't be poisoned. These nutritious and delicious mushrooms will make you want to eat them again after eating them once."

Seeing the expressions of his family members when they heard that he could detoxify, Ye Changyan felt that his method was already half effective.

The whole family looked at Ye Changyan doubtfully, waiting for him to explain how to detoxify. Ye Changyan did not hesitate and spoke.

"This fresh black fungus contains a toxin that can make people itchy. If people eat it and then expose it to the sun, the toxin will take effect. So put the black fungus in the sun to dry, and the toxin will disappear. Then soak the dried black fungus in clean water for half an hour, and it will return to its fresh appearance. But at this time, the toxin in the black fungus has disappeared, so you can eat it with confidence."

After hearing what Ye Changyan said, the family nodded thoughtfully, and Ye Changyan continued.

"The method of detoxifying pine mushrooms is even simpler. Picked pine mushrooms are prone to worms. You only need to pick out the ones with worms, then carefully clean them, put plenty of clean water in a pot and boil it, then put the pine mushrooms in the pot and simmer for a while, and the poison in the pine mushrooms will be detoxified."

Everyone looked at Ye Changyan doubtfully, but Erniu asked.

"Brother, how do you know these antidotes?"

"When I went to the capital city to take the exam, I saw some interesting miscellaneous notes in a book in the corner of the bookstore. Among them, there were some methods of detoxifying with mushrooms."

Ye Changyan was talking nonsense in a serious manner, but everyone in the Ye family believed it without a doubt, because they felt that what was recorded in the books was all knowledge and the crystallization of the wisdom of their ancestors.

Having said that, Ye Changyan asked Erniu and Wulang to carry baskets and go with him to pick other pine mushrooms under the pine forest, otherwise the pine mushrooms would be bad when they get old and would easily be infested with insects.

After hearing from her son that this mushroom was rare and that he had a method to detoxify it, Lian volunteered to go with the three children and try to get back before dark.

The mother and her two children came to the pine forest on the hill carrying baskets and chatting. After Ye Changyan explained in detail how to identify pine mushrooms and avoid picking up other poisonous mushrooms, the group split up. Lian, Erniu and Wulang were a little unsure at first, so they ran over to confirm with Ye Changyan again and again before putting the mushrooms into their baskets with confidence.

There is strength in numbers. The mother and her two sons quickly searched the entire pine forest and had a good harvest.

That night, the whole family followed Ye Changyan to process the pine mushrooms they had just picked. They carefully selected them, checked whether there were worms or rotten ones, then carefully washed the slippery mushrooms and boiled them over a fire.

Since he picked a lot of mushrooms, Ye Changyan used several wooden basins to soak the boiled mushrooms in clean water, and asked Erniu to change the water and rinse them every day until they were all eaten.

Then, under Ye Changyan's stewardship, a large plate of stir-fried pine mushrooms was served on the table.

When Ye Changyan walked out of the kitchen, he saw the family sitting around the table, looking at each other, and no one dared to pick up their chopsticks.

He couldn't help but chuckle, and sat down at the table, picked up the rice bowl, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up a piece of slippery pine mushroom. When the family saw Ye Changyan put it into his mouth without hesitation, they couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

Ye Changyan did not try to persuade anyone, but instead proved it with practical actions. Seeing Ye Changyan eating with such relish, everyone was still a little afraid in their hearts, but they could not resist the temptation to eat.

The first one to pick up the chopsticks was Erniu. Ye's father, Ye's mother and Wulang were all staring at Erniu. Erniu picked up a piece of pine mushroom that turned bright red after being boiled and put it into her mouth without much hesitation.

At that moment, Erniu felt the mushroom between her tongue was so silky and smooth. She took a light bite and it was so fresh and tender. After chewing it carefully, Erniu found that every taste bud was filled with an unprecedented taste, which was so delicious.

The three people on the side were still observing Erniu, and saw that Erniu said nothing, stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a big piece, and started eating with relish.

Seeing Erniu like this, Wulang also stretched out his chopsticks, and then a look of surprise appeared on Wulang's face. Lian and Ye Xiaozheng finally couldn't help it and stretched out their chopsticks as well. Soon the whole family fell silent because they were all enjoying the food in front of them with relish.

They never expected that pine mushrooms could be so delicious. Soon, the simple stir-fried pine mushrooms were eaten up by the whole family, and everyone was still reluctant to leave.

"San…Sanlang, has the poison of this mushroom really…really been eliminated? I…we won't…will we have diarrhea, right?"

Ye Xiaozheng asked hesitantly after swallowing the last piece of pine mushroom in his mouth.

"Dad, don't worry! Just go to bed early and you'll know when you wake up tomorrow morning."

After dinner, under the guidance of Ye Changyan, Lian and Erniu washed the black fungus picked by Ye Changyan, spread it out on a bamboo plate, and placed it under the eaves. They would move it to the sun to dry after the sun came out tomorrow.

That night, the whole family washed up early and went to bed.

Nothing happened all night.

The next day, everyone in the Ye family got up early, and everyone was full of energy. Indeed, no one had diarrhea, so everyone was completely relieved.

Ye Changyan felt a vibration on his wrist. After checking it quietly, he was delighted. Favorability +40, current favorability 40.

Ye Changyan was curious about where this favorability came from. After studying it for a long time without any results, he fell asleep in a daze.

After the family had a light breakfast, Wulang and Erniu volunteered to go to the woods to pick mushrooms. Ye Xiaozheng was against it at first, but Ye Changyan had to go to the county town to keep an appointment today and could not take Wulang to study. Ye Changyan supported his younger brother and sister to pick mushrooms near the farm, and said that he would carefully check them after returning and then take further action. Only then did Ye's father agree.

Erniu and Wulang happily went out carrying their baskets.

Soon Ye Changyan packed up and went out with the invitation.

Shanglin Village is located on the way from Qingshan Town to Wanshou County, five miles away from Qingshan Town and twelve miles away from Wanshou County.

When Ye Changyan arrived in Wanshou County, he saw that Yunfeng Tower had been surrounded by people.

Ye Changyan stood at a street corner not far from Yunfeng Tower. He saw that most of the people outside the restaurant were scholars dressed in Confucian robes. They walked in groups of three or four.

Ye Changyan raised his foot to go to Yunfeng Tower, and he felt two vibrations on his wrist. At the same time, he suddenly felt something hit the sole of his foot, so he squatted down to check.

He almost laughed out loud when he saw this, for there was a silver ingot stuck in the crack of the stone slab under his feet, and the protruding part just happened to hit him.

He took out a silver ingot from the crack in the stone slab. It was not big and was worth about a few coins. Ye Changyan was not stupid enough to ask who dropped it. Seeing that the silver ingot was covered with mud, he didn't know how long it had been there, so he put it away with peace of mind.

Ye Changyan stood up and prepared to go to Yunfeng Tower, when he saw a carriage coming towards Yunfeng Tower.

This carriage looked plain and simple, just a little wider and longer than ordinary carriages. However, Ye Changyan found that this carriage had two very obvious differences from other carriages.

The badge on the horse's head was not made of ordinary brass, but shone with an unusual silver glow. There was also a pendant with a special emblem on each side of the front of the carriage.

When Ye Changyan was studying the emblem, he saw the crowd in front of Yunfeng Tower naturally dispersed, leaving a wide space for the carriage to park.

Just as the carriage was parking, several people came out of Yunfeng Tower. Although Ye Changyan did not recognize the person in front, he saw that the person following closely was Li Yuanlin who handed him the invitation. Ye Changyan guessed that this person should be Li Yuanpu, the host of this literary gathering.

It seems that the person riding in this carriage should be an important guest of distinguished status.
