Chapter 832 The Baby in the Mountain

849
"My father also agrees to take out this mountain?" Beibeihu asked.

"Young Madam, what should we do if we don't hire them out?" Tian Guanshi said helplessly: "The people in our village are too busy with the farm and the fields, and there is no extra manpower to take care of those fruit trees. The master complained a lot, and then the original patriarch made the decision to entrust this mountain to that big businessman."

Hearing this, Beibei raised her eyebrows, thinking that Duan Shouchuan has benefited a lot from this business, right?

But now Duan Shouchuan is like a bereaved dog, and Beibei has no intention to pursue this matter.

"Tian Guanshi, why did you go up the mountain too?" A middle-aged man who was heading down the mountain couldn't help blinking when he saw the male steward, and shouted in surprise after confirming that it was Tian Guan.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Xinguang?" Tian Guanshi saw the person coming forward and greeted the middle-aged man familiarly: "What did you gain today?"

"Don't mention it, I didn't get anything except this bunch of wild vegetables." The middle-aged man lifted a big basket dejectedly, but there was nothing in the basket except a handful of wild vegetables. "

"It's better than nothing. This handful of wild vegetables is enough for your family to eat." Tian Guanshi said with a smile.

"That's true!" The middle-aged man's emotions came and went quickly, and he smiled and said to Tian Guanshi in a blink of an eye.

After saying a few words, the middle-aged man looked at Bei Bei curiously, and asked, "Manager Tian, ​​who is this little girl from you?"

It's no wonder the middle-aged man would ask this question, it's because Beibei still wears a girl's bun on her head, and her clothes are also very plain, so the middle-aged man didn't think deeply, thinking that Beibei was just Tian Guanshi. What about relatives?

"This is our young lady!" Tian Guanshi suddenly raised his head and said with chest out.

Beibei looked a little funny, she really didn't understand what Tian Guanshi was proud of.

The middle-aged man was taken aback, and looked at Beibei with reverence: "It turned out to be the young wife of the marshal!"

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Beibei remembered her other identity, and quickly gave Yu Qiu a wink.

Even if Beibei didn't tell, Yu Qiu would remind the middle-aged man not to tell the story of meeting them.

"Young Madam, it was all careless, I forgot your instructions." Manager Tian apologized to Beibei afterwards.

Beibei smiled indifferently, everyone she met here had innocent smiles on their faces, not to mention Tian Guanshi who has been living here, even her vigilance has dropped a lot.

Suddenly, Beibei remembered something again, and asked with bright eyes: "Master Tian, ​​you said that there are truffles on this mountain, can you dig them now?"

A few days ago, manager Tiantian took two cans of dried mushrooms from the ice cellar and put them in the kitchen of the main courtyard, saying that they could be soaked and released in advance when stewing the chicken.

After she opened it, she realized that it was two jars of dried black truffles!

However, because there is no modern processing technology here, the two jars of dried truffles are just cut and dried casually, and the taste and nutritional value are much worse. It would be nice to have fresh truffles.

"Young Madam, there are truffles being dug at this time, and there are quite a lot of them on this mountain, but it's hard to find them." Tian Guanshi said truthfully.

Manager Tian only found out after hearing from Beibei that the black mushroom had another nice name - black truffle.

"I know that." Beibei smiled.

She also knows that black truffles are rich in protein, 18 kinds of amino acids and various trace elements necessary for the human body, etc., and have extremely high nutritional and health value.

Think of the truffle set meals in modern Western restaurants, which usually cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, and the truffles in the set meal are only a little bit, which is not a real truffle; if it is a whole piece of truffle, That is a sky-high price for ordinary people, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

But even so, people are still flocking to truffles.

Manager Tian thought for a while and said, "Young Madam, the further you go up, the harder it is to go. Let's go back. If you want to eat fresh truffles, you can ask someone to dig them on the mountain, or ask other villagers If there are any truffles, let’s buy them from them.”

Beibei looked up at the road up the mountain, then looked at her pair of shoes covered in wet mud, and then gave up and continued walking.

When going out, Yu Qiu brought two extra sets of clothes for each of Beibei's mother and son. Beibei went back to the carriage and changed into a set of clean dresses before returning to the crowd.

At this time, the servant had already moved the oven from another car, put enough charcoal to light the fire, and the mutton and lamb chops he brought, as well as the marinated chicken Kong Ming, had all been taken out and grilled.

When Beibei went down the mountain, she found that several carriages came near the place where they rested, and the servants carried their own ovens and began to prepare for the barbecue.

"There are so many people here in a short time?" Beibei smiled.

Fortunately, they came early and took the best seat. She and Yu Qiu could take the children to play on the big rocks while they were grilling.

"Young Madam, I didn't lie to you, did I? The young masters and ladies of these rich families come here every year for an outing." Tian Guanshi said with a smile.

Beibei secretly counted, from the upstream to the downstream of the creek, within sight, there are seven or eight groups of people having a barbecue, Beibei's eyes flashed with regret, and at the same time, she made a decision. When she returns to Duanfu, she must put the chili oil and dipping sauce in the shop for sale.

Where there is gain, there is loss. Her mother and son are free on Zhuangzi, which is already earned.

Beibei comforted herself.

Before the meat here was roasted, the servant Tian Guanshi sent out to buy truffles came back, and he came back with two large baskets full of black truffles.

Beibei took it as if she had found a treasure, and saw that the biggest one was as big as the mouth of a small bowl.

"You can actually buy so many?" Beibei was overjoyed and put two baskets of black truffles on the grass, and picked them up one by one to look at them.

"Young Madam, these black mushrooms were dug out by the villagers today, and the small ones dug up yesterday are still unrequited," said the servant.

Beibei looked up sharply: "And yesterday's?"

Seeing Beibei's appearance, the servant immediately didn't know whether it was right or wrong that he didn't buy it, and looked at Beibei with a little nervousness: "Yes, but I am worried that you won't be able to eat so much, so I didn't buy it."

"Go buy, buy as much as you can!" Beibei said and looked at Yu Qiu: "Yu Qiu, give him all the silver on your body."

These truffles are seasonal. Beibei really didn’t expect to be able to eat fresh truffles in April. If she can’t finish the truffles she bought, she can store them in the space and eat them slowly. This is a good price. something.

"Wait a minute!" Beibei suddenly stopped that family and said, "Give them some more money and ask them to take you to the place where the truffles were dug, and then come back and take me there!"
