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

Before Liang Jingcheng finished his words, Ye Changyan felt a sudden burning sensation from his cheeks to his ears.

Ye Changyan really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, as the thick soles under his feet were almost pierced through by himself in embarrassment.

"Mr. Liang, I am ignorant. Please don't blame me. I have no disrespect for your master."

Liang Jingcheng smiled as he slowly rolled up the scroll, tied it with a silk ribbon, carefully put it into an exquisitely carved bamboo tube, and handed it to Ye Changyan.

"Mr. Ye, you are so kind. I really want to make friends with you. Just accept it with peace of mind. My master will definitely be happy. If he knew that I couldn't even give away a piece of calligraphy under the name of my master, then he would feel ashamed, haha..."

Faced with Liang Jingcheng's initiative to make friends with him, Ye Changyan was still a little nervous. Mr. Cai was a high-ranking official who had served as the chief academic officer of the Imperial College. Wasn't he the Minister of Education in his previous life?

The Minister of Education's closed disciple actually took the initiative to express his desire to make friends with him and gave him a big gift. Ye Changyan felt that it was a little unreal, but the bamboo tube handed to him was so real.

The crowd watching from the side were truly amazed today. They all stared at the bamboo tube in Ye Changyan's hand, and were filled with envy and jealousy when they thought that it contained Mr. Cai's handwriting.

Everyone at the scene had different thoughts. Night was about to fall and the dinner was coming to an end.

After the dinner, everyone exchanged greetings and came to the entrance of Yunfeng Building.

The attentive Li Yuanpu specially arranged a carriage for Ye Changyan. After saying goodbye to everyone, Ye Changyan got on the carriage.

Along the way, Ye Changyan felt a little unreal, but the scroll Liang Jingcheng gave him was indeed in his arms.

When I returned to the village, I saw my parents, brothers and sisters waiting anxiously outside the gate.

After thanking the coachman who brought him back, Ye Changyan entered the yard with his family.

After returning home, Ye Changyan simply talked about how he met some talented scholars and students at the literary meeting. His parents and siblings were all very happy to hear it.

Ye Changyan did not tell his family about his acquaintance with Liang Jingcheng and the gift of Mr. Cai's handwriting, so as to avoid causing them unnecessary worries.

When Ye Changyan learned that his family had not even had dinner in order to wait for him to come home for dinner, he was deeply moved when he saw that night had already fallen.

But I also felt sad in my heart that in this world without advanced communication tools such as mobile phones, such waiting is really unavoidable.

Although he had already had dinner at Yunfeng Building, Ye Changyan still had dinner with his family.

Just after dinner, Ye Changyan felt two vibrations on his arms. He checked quietly and found that his favorability had increased by +8. Ye Changyan was somewhat surprised, but he didn't know where the increase in favorability came from, so he didn't pay much attention to it for the time being.

At this time, Erniu and Wulang were seen walking towards Ye Changyan with backpacks in their hands, looking excited.

"Brother, look, these are the mushrooms we picked up today."

Ye Changyan was also surprised when he saw the basket was full of mushrooms. Lian brought three bamboo plates.

"Erniu, Wulang, pour the mushrooms in the basket onto the largest bamboo plate. Wulang, help check if you picked the wrong mushrooms."

"Oh, okay, mom!"

The brothers and sisters said in unison, and Ye Changyan also helped to pour the mushrooms out of the basket. Although the oil lamp was dim, it was still easy to distinguish between black fungus and pine mushrooms.

Lian also carried a small stool and sat next to the bamboo plaque to help with sorting and choosing.

"Where did you pick up so many mushrooms?"

Ye Changyan asked as he helped his brother and sister-in-law sort the things.

"We first went to the small hill we visited yesterday, but we didn't find many mushrooms. Then we went to some of the surrounding hills, and then we went to the more distant Sickle Mountain, which had so many mushrooms."

Wulang looked excited and ran to get a basket.

"Brother, take a look. Can you detoxify these mushrooms?"

"I told you not to pick these up. What if you accidentally eat them and get poisoned?"

Seeing that her youngest son still did not listen to her, Lian looked at Wulang with a reproachful look on her face because in addition to the two kinds of mushrooms that Sanlang brought back to her that could detoxify, Wulang also picked up many other mushrooms.

Wulang was a child at heart, and he followed his mother and sister to pick mushrooms. He was very serious at first, but after a while he was attracted by the novel mushrooms around him, so he picked up his basket and ran to pick these novel mushrooms.

However, he didn't know whether his brother could detoxify, so he picked two or three of each new type of mushroom he saw. There were so many varieties that he picked a whole basket.

"Brother, show me now!"

Lian and Erniu were already fully familiar with black fungus and pine mushrooms. Seeing that they were selecting very carefully and sorting very seriously, Ye Changyan put down the pine mushrooms in his hand and instead brought the basket that Wulang brought over to himself.

Red umbrella with white stem, Amanita muscaria. Ye Changyan felt emotional. The government's propaganda against people picking and eating mushrooms does make sense. The top mushroom picked up by Wulang was this poisonous mushroom.

Wu Lang looked at his brother expectantly, but Ye Changyan did not comment and continued to check.

After checking it out, Ye Changyan was both surprised and delighted.

What is surprising is that most of the mushrooms that Wulang picked are poisonous, and several of them are extremely poisonous.

The good news is that several of the remaining mushrooms are edible, including Alpaca, Chanterelles and Shiitake mushrooms.

These are the good stuff among mushrooms. They are not only delicious but also nutritious.

Seeing Ye Changyan's face changing from gloomy to happy, Wu Lang was a little confused.

"Brother, how are you doing?"

Ye Changyan put the chicken mushrooms, chanterelles and shiitake mushrooms back into the basket, and piled all the other mushrooms on the ground.

"There are so many mushrooms on the ground. I don't have a way to detoxify them. And as far as I know, some of them are highly poisonous. Goro, you better not pick these mushrooms in the future!"

Hearing his brother's solemn warning, Wulang was also shocked. Thinking of Guo Ergou's mother who was poisoned to death, his child who became a fool, and his crazy wife, Wulang felt scared.

"You are the only one who doesn't listen. I told you not to pick mushrooms randomly. These poisonous mushrooms are really deadly!"

Hearing what his eldest son said, Ye Xiaozheng's face was full of nervousness. Lian warned his youngest son, and Erniu continued to sort the mushrooms in her hands while grinning at Wulang.

Wu Lang didn't expect that he had picked up so many poisonous mushrooms that had no antidote. He felt a little embarrassed and his face looked a little ugly.

"However, I can detoxify these three kinds of mushrooms, and all three kinds of mushrooms are very delicious, especially this one."

As he spoke, Ye Changyan pointed at the two grayish-white pointed chicken mushrooms in the basket.

Wu Lang hurried over upon hearing this, and his expression immediately turned from gloomy to bright.

"I picked up these three kinds of mushrooms at Sickle Mountain. There are still a lot of them, especially this one."

When Ye Changyan heard Wulang say that there were a lot of these three kinds of mushrooms, and saw Wulang pointing at the wild mushrooms, Ye Changyan was surprised.

This chanterelle was known as one of the four famous mushrooms in the previous life. It has a delicious and sweet taste and is very rare.

The chicken mushroom is a companion mushroom in termite nests. In the past, it was known as the most delicious wild mushroom. It has plump, sweet flesh and is rare and precious.

What made Ye Changyan even happier was that the chicken mushroom discovered by Sanlang belonged to the torch chicken mushroom. This chicken mushroom was distributed in clusters. Judging from Sanlang's tone, he should have discovered quite a few.

The wild mushrooms that Sanlang pointed to were the most common edible fungi in his previous life. Unlike the above-mentioned mushrooms, this one was a variety that could be artificially cultivated.

"Hahaha……"

Suddenly, a ray of light flashed through Ye Changyan's mind, and Ye Changyan caught it instantly and couldn't help laughing.
