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

Wu Lang looked at his brother with confusion, and the other family members looked at Ye Changyan with curiosity.

"Brother, can you do magic? Don't joke with me. I need to eat and go to bed quickly. I'm too tired today."

Ye Xiaozheng and Lian felt distressed when they saw their two tired sons. They were about to ask the eldest son not to tease the younger son when they heard the eldest son say something that stunned the whole family.

"Do you believe me? I can turn the carrot soup in your bowl into a bowl of chicken soup?"

Ye Changyan brought Wulang's bowl, which was half filled with carrot soup, to himself. Then he moved his thumb back and forth between his index and middle fingers for a few times, and then stirred the bowl with a spoon for a few times, and then pushed the bowl in front of Wulang.

"Come on, have a taste."

The whole family looked at Ye Changyan as if he was a fool, but Ye Changyan smiled and nodded at Wulang.

Wu Lang picked up the bowl doubtfully, looked left and right, and saw that except for his brother who looked confident, the other family members were looking at him expectantly.

Wu Lang took a sip cautiously, smacked his lips twice, his eyes flickering, and after a moment he brought the bowl to his mouth and took another sip.

Erniu, who was standing by, was so nervous that she clenched her fists without realizing it. Ye Xiaozheng and Lian stared at their youngest son intently.

Wu Lang smacked his lips, picked up the bowl, and drank the carrot soup in the bowl in one gulp.

Ye Xiaozheng, Lian and Erniu, who were watching from the side, couldn't help swallowing.

Ye Changyan cast a questioning look at Wulang, who looked like he was still unsatisfied.

"Brother, another bowl!"

Ye Changyan had a smirk on his face as if his plan had succeeded, while Ye Xiaozheng, Lian and Erniu were all shocked and stared at Wulang in amazement.

Ye Changyan followed the same method and made another bowl of "chicken soup" for Wulang.

Ye Xiaozheng, Lian and Erniu stared at Wulang the whole time, watching him gulp down another bowl of carrot soup.

"Wulang, what are you and your brother doing?" Lian stared at Wulang, trying to see through the brothers' tricks.

"Brother, make a bowl for mom too."

Wu Lang looked at Lian with a sly smile, then at Ye Changyan.

Lian glared at Wu Lang but did not stop Ye Changyan. Ye Changyan did the same thing again and made a bowl of "chicken soup" for Lian as well.

Lian picked up the bowl, smelled it, looked at it, and observed it for a long time before he put it to his lips and took a sip.

"Tsk tsk..."

Lian smacked her lips twice. Ye Xiaozheng and Erniu beside her stared at Lian nervously, while Wulang had a smirk on his face.

Lian's expression changed from suspicion to surprise and then to delight. She picked up the bowl again and checked it again to confirm that there was indeed carrot soup in her bowl. Then she raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.

"Sanlang, make a bowl for your father and Erniu as well."

Lian put down the bowl and gave instructions to Ye Changyan in a serious tone.

Ye Xiaozheng and Erniu couldn't believe their ears. They suspected that Lian had been bewitched by Ye Changyan and stared at her intently.

Ye Changyan did not express any opinion and remained calm. He followed the same method and made a bowl of "chicken soup" for his father and sister respectively.

"Mom, do you really want to drink?"

Erniu thought that Wulang and Lian were bewitched by Ye Changyan, but she did not dare to disobey her mother, so she asked Lian with a pleading look on her face.

Ye Xiaozheng also held the bowl and looked at Lian hesitantly.

"Drink it. I still don't believe it. I can really turn carrot soup into chicken soup."

After hearing what Lian said, Erniu and Ye Xiaozheng became even more worried, thinking that Lian had started talking nonsense.

But Lian's eyes were shining with gold as she stared at Erniu, so Erniu had no choice but to pick up the bowl and take a sip.

Erniu felt something was wrong. It was a little different from the carrot soup she had drunk before, but she drank too little and couldn't taste much.

He simply took another sip, and this time he drank significantly more than the previous one.

Suddenly, Erniu felt that the taste buds on the tip of her tongue could truly sense a fresh fragrance that went straight to her heart, and the fresh soup went down her throat, leaving an endless aftertaste.

Erniu picked up the bowl in her hand and gulped down the remaining "chicken soup" in two gulps, as if she was still reluctant to leave.

This made Ye Xiaozheng, who was hesitating at the side, dumbfounded. He thought, it's over, the whole family is not normal. Could it be that because Erniu cooked the pine mushrooms tonight and didn't cook them well, and the poison was not completely removed, the whole family has been poisoned and is a little unconscious.

"Dad, you drink too."

Lian's words interrupted Ye Xiaozheng's wandering thoughts.

Seeing his wife and children looking at him expectantly, Ye Xiaozheng's hands holding the bowl seemed to be shaking a little.

"Drink it, it's okay, Dad!"

Erniu and Wulang said almost in unison.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Ye Xiaozheng simply tilted his head back and drank up the soup in the bowl.

"Dad, why did you finish it in one gulp?! Did you taste it?"

Seeing Erniu looking at him anxiously, Ye Xiaozheng smacked his lips twice, and there seemed to be a sweet taste lingering in his mouth.

"Brother, make another bowl for Dad."

Wulang, who was standing by, saw his father finish the bowl in one gulp and seemed to have no taste, so he asked his brother to bring his father another bowl.

Ye Xiaozheng seemed to have not yet figured out the exact taste when his eldest son handed him another bowl.

Ye Xiaozheng picked it up for some unknown reason, took a sip, and when the soup went into his throat, an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face, and then he gulped down the rest of the soup.

When Ye Xiaozheng put down the bowl with a look of reluctance, the whole family looked at Ye Changyan in disbelief.

Ye Changyan followed the same method and made himself a bowl slowly. The whole family stared at Ye Changyan intently and brought the bowl to their mouths.

Ye Changyan took a sip, and then smacked his lips like everyone else. The flavor was not as strong as the MSG in his previous life, but it had a mellow aroma unique to mushrooms. This should be the unique aroma of mushroom essence. After drinking the soup, there was a natural sweet aftertaste in his mouth.

Although this tastes slightly inferior to the MSG of the previous life, its flavor is more mellow and sweet, and the aftertaste of the aroma is more lingering and long-lasting.

In his previous life, he had tasted the so-called MSG substitutes. Compared with the same type of mushroom extract flavor enhancers, his mushroom powder was more distinctive. Ye Changyan thought about it carefully and felt that it was because his raw materials came from real wild mushrooms, rather than ordinary artificially cultivated mushrooms.

"Your tongue won't lie to you. Although the carrot soup is still carrot soup, it tastes as delicious as chicken soup."

When the family heard Ye Changyan say this, they all nodded in agreement.

"It's actually very simple. The secret is in this powder in my palm."

Ye Changyan spread out his palm, with a little brown powder left in the middle of it.

“Is this wild mushroom powder?”
