Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

After Xiao Liu carefully dug out the wild ginseng, she wrapped it tightly with a piece of cloth.

I thought, this wild ginseng looks like it's at least twenty years old.

Xiao Liu told Meng Qiqi and her daughter not to tell their family about the wild ginseng they had found today.

"Mom, I know!" Meng Qiqi responded. She was also very happy in her heart. This was twenty-year-old wild ginseng, and it would definitely sell for a good price.

Xiao Liu took Meng Qiqi and took a detour from the back mountain to the largest pharmacy in town. The clerk at the door saw the mother and daughter, especially the cloth bag that Xiao Liu was holding carefully in her hand, and greeted them warmly.

"Ma'am, please come in, our boss is here." The waiter said as he led the two people inside.

Xiao Liu and Meng Qiqi followed the clerk into the pharmacy, which was filled with a strong smell of herbs.

The shopkeeper was an old man with a goatee. He looked at the ginseng handed over by Xiao Liu, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"This ginseng is of good quality. Madam, how much do you plan to sell it for?" asked the shopkeeper.

Seeing that Xiao Liu was hesitant, the shopkeeper spoke first, "How about eighty taels?"

Xiao Liu was secretly delighted. She had originally expected that it would be good if this ginseng could be sold for sixty taels, but she didn't expect the shopkeeper to directly offer eighty taels.

"I won't hide it from you. This ginseng is at least twenty years old. How about eighty-eight taels?" Little Liu said bravely.

The shopkeeper frowned slightly, as if considering it. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, Madam, you have good taste. This price is fair. Deal!"

Little Liu was overjoyed. She took the silver ingot handed to her by the shopkeeper and carefully put it in her arms.

This trip up the mountain was really fruitful. Not only did we pick precious ginseng, but we also sold it at such a high price.

She happily left the pharmacy with Meng Qiqi. The money did not have to be confiscated by the family and could be kept as the wealth for their small family of three.

The mother and daughter spent most of the time traveling back and forth from the mountain behind Yuluo Village to Xizhen.

I went straight home carrying a big basket on my back. The mushrooms in the basket were found in the morning. There were only a whole basket of mushrooms in total.

When Meng Qiqi and Xiao Liu returned home, no one was home yet. But it was understandable that it was early for the mother and daughter to return home at this time.

So, after Xiao Liu hid the money she earned today, she and Meng Qiqi sorted the mushrooms and dried them in the yard.

The sun hasn't set yet, so it's good to dry it in the sun.

After half a month, the mother and daughter had dried a total of 45 kilograms of mushrooms. These were all high-quality mushrooms, not including the damaged dried mushrooms.

There are not many mushrooms to be found on the back hill now.

Xiao Liu planned to dry the mushrooms she found in the next few days and then take them to Xi Town to sell them. She could make a few taels of silver, and she was happy just thinking about it.

Little Liu had a happy smile on her face, and she looked like a spring breeze. Seeing this, Meng Qiqi also smiled knowingly.

It seems that today's good harvest and the abundant mushroom harvest in half a month have made my mother very happy.

As evening approached, Xiao Liu took Meng Qiqi to the kitchen to light a fire and cook.

Xiao Liu first lit the fire in the stove, and then poured some water into the big pot.

Meng Qiqi was also washing mushrooms, green vegetables, radishes, as well as some onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers in a wooden basin nearby.

After the water boiled, Xiao Liu put the washed mushrooms into the pot, added appropriate amount of salt and seasoning, and cooked for a while.

Then, Xiao Liu took out the washed vegetables and radishes from the basket, which had been carefully washed by Meng Qiqi.

She skillfully cut the vegetables into small pieces and shredded the radish.

After everything was ready, Xiao Liu poured a little oil into the hot pan. When the oil was hot, she poured the vegetables and shredded radish into the pan and stir-fried them quickly.

In a short while, the vegetables and shredded radish became green and fragrant.

Finally, Xiao Liu poured the cooked mushroom soup into a bowl and brought it to the table.

The mushroom soup is fragrant, and the vegetables and radishes are attractive in color, which makes people's appetite increase just by looking at them.

Meng Qiqi helped set the table, and the family sat together. Wang began to distribute the steamed buns and porridge.

Liu said sarcastically, "Oh! What good thing happened to my sister-in-law today? She actually made mushroom soup. It's so rare!"

"Do I have to report to you what I cook?" Xiao Liu didn't tolerate Liu's bad habits and directly retorted.

Mrs. Liu was so choked that she couldn't speak. She originally wanted to satirize Mrs. Liu, but unexpectedly she was choked back.

"Mom, ignore her. Come, let's eat ours": Meng Qiqi pulled the corner of Xiao Liu's clothes, with a hint of disgust in her eyes.

Mrs. Liu patted Meng Qiqi's hand and signaled her not to worry.

Meng Erzhu also scolded her at this time: "Liu, I can't even stop your mouth while eating."

Wang and Old Man Meng did not interfere in the affairs of their families. As long as they were not offended, they would ignore everything.

The family then began to eat quietly, with only Liu making some discordant noises from time to time, but everyone chose to ignore her.

After everyone finished dinner, Meng Qiqi helped Xiao Liu clean up the dishes.

As soon as the mother and daughter came out of the kitchen, they were blocked by Li at the door.

"Why did you find so few mushrooms today?" Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Liu suspiciously.

Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes at her and said, "What's it to you? My sister-in-law found fewer mushrooms today!"

"Hmph, I think you hid it on purpose so that you can keep the money you earn later and not hand it over to the public." Li was relentless.

"Sister-in-law, please stop spitting insults!" Little Liu said angrily, "My mother and I have worked so hard to find these mushrooms. We dry them in the yard every day. How could everyone not know how many mushrooms there are?"

The two quarreled endlessly, attracting the attention of the surrounding neighbors.

Meng Qiqi hurried over to mediate. She didn't want others to laugh at her: "Mom, stop arguing. I don't know if my aunt is having a seizure today. Let's go home."

Mrs. Liu glared at Mrs. Li fiercely, then turned and left with Meng Qiqi.

She thought, this Li was usually quiet, just like Qiqi said, why did she suddenly act crazy today? She should stay away from Li for the next few days to avoid causing more trouble.

Only after Xiao Liu sent Meng Qiqi back to her room did she return to her own room.

She exaggerated and told Meng Shanzhu about how Aunt Li had come to pick a fight with her for no apparent reason.

After hearing what Xiao Liu said, Meng Shanzhu thought about it and felt that this was not a good way to go. He didn't know what his parents were going to do when they divided the family.

However, even though he thought so, after Xiao Liu finished speaking, he coaxed her not to let herself be upset about such things.
