Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

Wangshu happily pulled Qin Xiuyuan to touch the jewelry, "Mother, Qin Xiuyuan, put aside the things you want to give to others, eat, and want. I will take care of the rest!"

A bracelet, two hairpins, a jade carving, a wood carving, and a pair of silver rings. She loved both rubies and emeralds. She chose two and placed them on the back of her hand to compare them. The red was bright and generous, while the green was emerald and clear. The light refracted and flowed on the white back of her hand, and the gems were so beautiful. "How beautiful, how beautiful!"

Ji's mother and Qin Xiuyuan looked at her in amazement and couldn't help laughing. Qin Xiuyuan moved a few red and green gems of similar size next to the pair of jade bracelets he had picked out.

The drugstore owner and the jewelry owner came in almost at the same time as Ji's father who was off duty.

Wangshu first asked Ji's father to pick out some gifts for the family over there. Ji's mother beckoned Ji's father, "Husband, come and see what I have chosen. Do you want to pick some more?"

"My daughter only kept seven."

After hearing what Mother Ji had said, Father Ji looked at the nine items Mother Ji had already chosen: a red jade bracelet, three jade hairpins, four carved wooden hairpins, and a pair of silver bracelets for a child. The women from the two mansions—her sister-in-law and Wanting, his mother, two older sisters-in-law, two nieces-in-law, a niece, and a great-nephew—were all assigned to the items.

Ji's mother picked out a pair of jade bracelets for herself and a pair of small silver bracelets for Ji Laoer.

So Father Ji picked out two hairpins and gave them to Mother Ji on the spot. "My dear daughter, Daddy has chosen."

Ji's mother scolded him sweetly.

Except for a bag of Panax notoginseng and some angelica and astragalus that had been hidden in advance, all other medicinal materials and jewelry were sold on the spot. Wangshu did not want any silver notes, so several bosses quickly asked people to rush to deliver cash or gold, and the payment and goods were settled.

The dried mushrooms in the corner gave off a strange aroma. Mr. Huang, the owner of the herbal medicine shop, asked for permission to pick them up and take a look. "They really are dried mushrooms. They are good for your health."

He looked at Wangshu, who was still pale in the earth dragon's house, and said, "Miss Ji, you are deficient in both blood and energy. Mushrooms grow in damp and humid places, so they are not suitable for you to eat too much."

Ji's mother was about to persuade Wangshu to sell the dried mushrooms, but Qin Xiu was one step ahead of her. "Boss, angelica and astragalus have the effect of replenishing blood and qi. How should they be taken?"

Boss Huang explained in detail the two ways to take angelica and astragalus: food and medicine. Qin Xiuyuan memorized all of them. Seeing Wangshu couldn't resist the aroma and sniffing the dried mushrooms, he calmly snatched them away and threw them into the sack. "Be good and stay away from these."

He whispered to someone who was angry about being deprived of the right to eat mushrooms, "Why not sell it to a restaurant?"

Boss Huang quickly said, "I can buy it at a high price. This stew is also excellent. It's just that the caravan hasn't been able to pass through for many years, and the dried mushrooms have been out of stock for many years."

He then named a price. It wasn't as profitable as other medicinal herbs, which could earn him ten times the profit. The price he offered was three times Qin Xiuyuan's original cost.

Too low. Wangshu shook his head.

"Keep it. It won't go bad because of the earth dragon."

Boss Huang gritted his teeth and re-introduced the price, increasing it fivefold. "Ms. Ji, you know this product has been out of stock for years, and I'm not sure if it will sell well. This is the highest price I can offer."

Unlike Angelica, Astragalus, and Panax notoginseng, whose prices are almost stable with a slight increase, it is indeed difficult to price out-of-stock shiitake mushrooms.

Qin Xiuyuan was afraid that she would find out how delicious it was after eating it, so she would eat it secretly, so he tried to persuade her again and again, saying that the smell was not good for her and that he actually didn't like it. He almost hugged her and made her agree.

After Wangshu pushed him away because he was too nagging, he complained in a low voice, "...you never listened to me once..."

Wangshu had indeed said that she would listen to him. And he had indeed listened to her every time, and it was she who broke her promise and got fat.

Finally, Boss Huang was very satisfied and took away three sacks of dried mushrooms. When Wangshu was about to send them to the sponsors, Qin Xiuyuan hurriedly instructed the two elders, "Uncle and Aunt, please quickly send more dried mushrooms to relatives and friends." He also emphasized, "Aunt, don't let Wangshu eat too much of this during the day."

Ji's mother felt relieved, but also felt that he was worrying too much. Wangshu was a picky eater and there was hardly any food that he loved so much that he couldn't stop eating.

There were two sacks of dried mushrooms in the corner. Father Ji was going to send some to my mother after dinner. I have to say, except for Wangshu who was seriously ill, the rest of his family was in good health and had no problem eating dried mushrooms!

As soon as dinner was served, the mushrooms absorbed the gravy and became even more fragrant, the pork belly was glutinous and fat but not greasy, soft and tasty, and the dried mushrooms and pork belly were delicious and tasty. Ji's father and mother couldn't stop eating.

When Wangshu was eating for the fourth time, Qin Xiuyuan stopped her and said, "...eat less." He picked up a piece of chicken for her with clean chopsticks.

Oh, I hate doctors who talk nonsense the most! Wangshu didn't bother to pay attention to him. He moved aside and took another piece. He tasted it carefully. It was juicy, fragrant, smooth and tender. It was delicious.

There was no other way, so Qin Xiuyuan put the stew pot in front of the two elders and moved it away.

"Monster! Don't listen to that guy's nonsense. He's just trying to trick me into selling him dried mushrooms!"

Ji's father and mother were at a loss as to how to persuade their daughter. However, Ji's mother lamented that her son-in-law's worries were justified. She was afraid that Wangshu would secretly eat the dried mushrooms during the day. They were too delicious!

Even Ji's father gave up the idea of ​​sending more dried mushrooms later and decided to just send a few!

It’s so delicious that I almost swallowed my tongue!

"Think about it, wood ear mushrooms also like moisture and shade, so why haven't any doctors told me in all these years that I can't eat dried wood ear mushrooms? Besides, after being exposed to the sun for days, the dampness has long been gone!"

Wangshu argued for a while, then stood up and ran to the corner of the table between his parents so that he could pick up some mushrooms to eat.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Qin Xiuyuan gave in. "You can sit down and eat, but just bear with it for this meal. Eat a few more and then stop. It's okay, we can eat next time."

There are two sacks in the corner of the main hall!

After dinner, Ji's father said he wanted to send some dried mushrooms to my mother's house, so the four of them walked from the east wing along the cold corridor to the main hall.

Wangshu was shivering with cold. He quickly ran into the main hall first and lay comfortably in the rocking chair.

Ji's father packed three portions, his mother one, and his two brothers' families each a portion. After his second brother left, his eldest brother divided the family. Living under the same roof, each family had its own stove.

As for my mother's share, she can give it to whoever she likes. Ji's mother kept Madam Li's jade hairpin and Wanting's wooden hairpin, and let Ji's father take the rest and divide it up.

Ji's mother asked.

"Shushu, can we treat everyone to a quick meal now that we're moving in?"

Wangshu waved his hand, "No, no, the weather is too cold, and the snow and water will make the house dirty! In a couple of days, let Ji Shou deliver some meat to their house, and let them celebrate on their own."

Just let her do it.

Qin Xiuyuan saw Ji's father off and arranged for Tang Bo to drive him back in a carriage. Ji's father said hesitantly, "Xiuyuan, with the earth dragon this year, Shushu is indeed feeling much better. You...you're doing fine."

He got into the carriage.

Tang Bo and Qin Xiuyuan looked at each other and smiled slightly.

everything is fine.
