Chapter 44

"Mother, I want to go out for a while. My aunt gave me a lot of silk flowers. I want to give two of them to Xiaofeng, okay?" Yuxian ran to Fang and asked.

"Okay, mother will go with you, just in time to send a piece of material to your aunt." Fang took out a basket and put two pieces of lotus-colored cotton cloth and a few pieces of satin cloth in it.Put some fruit and two packs of snacks on it, and led Yuxian out.

When they arrived at Chunsheng's house, before entering the gate, Yuxian shouted, "Sister Xiaofeng, I'm here."

Chunsheng's daughter-in-law is at home, so she hurried out and saw that it was Fang's mother and daughter. "Sister-in-law, didn't you go out? You're back so soon, let's go in and sit down." He quickly moved into the room.

"Sister, don't sit inside the house, let's sit outside. Auntie isn't at home?" Fang thinks it's stuffy in the house, so it's better to be cooler outside.

"I went to my sister-in-law's house. My sister-in-law is about to give birth and I don't have a mother-in-law. Let my mother-in-law take care of her for a while." Chunsheng has a younger sister who married into Qingling Village.

"Oh, that's right, by the way, is Guizhi at home?"

"Xiaofeng, go to your Aunt Guan's house, and tell her that Aunt Tong is here, and you want to play with her." Chunsheng's daughter-in-law still asked Xiaofeng to run errands.

Xiaofeng was chatting with Yuxian, and when her mother told her to go to Guan's house, she said, "Sister Yuxian, wait a minute, we'll play when you come back later." Then she ran out.

Not long after, Zhuzi's daughter-in-law and Xiaofeng came back. As soon as Zhuzi's daughter-in-law saw Fang, she said, "When did you come back? Why don't you stay at home for a rest, go out and don't look at yourself."

"It's okay, it happened that Yuxian insisted on coming to Xiaofeng, so I followed. Here are the things I brought for you, two pieces of cloth, each of you can make a piece of clothing, and a few pieces of cloth are good for shoe uppers. Snacks and fruits Satisfy the child's hunger." Fang smiled and gave the things to the two.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing with these for us? It would be nice to keep them to make clothes for myself, and there are some snacks and fruits for Yuxian to eat." Zhuzi's daughter-in-law said.

Yuxian was talking to Xiaofeng, and when she heard what Zhuzi's daughter-in-law said, she said, "Auntie, just keep it for you. If you let my mother go, I don't know who will let it go? Yesterday my mother took it to the room for a big Everyone in the family has a share in the pile of things, but my grandma still thinks it doesn’t belong to my aunt. If my grandma sees this cloth, why don’t you give it to my aunts? Anyway, my mother can’t wear it, so you just keep it gone."

"My lord is talking, why are you interrupting, go play with Xiaofeng, by the way, what did you bring to Xiaofeng?" Fang Shi reprimanded Yuxian.

Yuxian took out a small box from the small shoulder bag her mother sewed for her, and handed it to Xiaofeng, "Sister Xiaofeng, this is for you."

Xiaofeng opened the box and saw two silk flowers and a string of bracelets inside.The silk flowers are very finely crafted, with pink petals and bright yellow stamens, very beautiful.The bracelet is made of red agate, the color is bright, it is suitable for little girls to wear. "Sister Yuxian, thank you, the flowers and the bracelet are very beautiful. I like it very much." Xiaofeng hugged the box, very happy.

"As long as my sister likes it, if there are any good ones in the future, I will bring them to my sister." Yu Xian is not too fond of beauty, and it is a waste to keep these things at home.Yuyan is a beauty lover, but Yuxian doesn't agree with her.

It was getting late, so Fang took Yuxian home.After dinner, Yuxian chatted with her brothers in the room, "Brother, did you go to make gastrodia elata?" Before leaving, Yuxian told Da Lang how to make gastrodia elata.

"Well, I went to dig it twice again. Later, the poles of Gastrodia elata were too high, and the gastrodia elata I dug out was a bit empty, so I didn't dig any more. I boiled it as you said and dried it in the sun. The day before yesterday, I went to the town to give it to the shopkeeper Fang. He took it, and he paid 45 yuan per catty of gastrodia elata. This thing is too valuable, it is [-] catties in total, and it sold for [-] yuan. Little girl, shall we dig it next year?" Da Lang really I was quite surprised, I didn't expect this gastrodia elata to be so much more expensive than other medicinal materials. It took only ten days to dig these gastrodia elata, and they can be sold for more than two taels of silver. Isn't this money too easy to earn?

"Hee hee, brother, you don't have to wait until next year, you can dig after autumn, but the method is different. Someday I will draw a drawing of a shovel for you, and you can go to the blacksmith shop in the town to get a shovel. After autumn, those who dig gastrodia elata can use a shovel to rummage through the pieces." Yu Xian smiled, it seems that the brothers really feel the joy of making money.I took out the small box containing money from the kang cabinet and opened it with the key. There were already five taels of silver in it, and there were more than 400 copper coins.Yuxian put in the money her brother had just given, and laughed happily.Now there are seven taels of silver alone, which is not a small fortune. "Big Brother and Second Brother, let's save some more money, and let your mother send you to a private school next year, shall we?" Yuxian has always been thinking about the problems of her brothers' studies. Everything is inferior, and only studies are high.Reading is the way to go.

"When the time comes, let the second brother go to study. I won't go. Anyway, I can read." Dalang said, "The second brother is interested in studying, so he should go to a private school to study hard. My sister and I are thinking about it at home. If there is a way to earn money, the second brother must be confessed, and it would be great if he could come back with a test of merit, just like the little uncle, and our father and mother can feel proud." Going to private schools is quite expensive, and they earn That money is good enough for one person.Dalang is more thoughtful, he is older, and he is not as good at studying as Erlang is, so he wants Erlang to go to school and stay at home to earn money for his younger brother.

"Brother, don't worry, we will earn more money in the future, I must let you all go to school." Yuxian made up her mind to let all her brothers go to private schools to study.

"Okay. Let's not talk about this. Brother believes that Yuxian has this ability. Who would have thought that we children could earn so much money? Okay, it's getting late, you just came back, go and rest Let's go." Da Lang told his sister to rest.

The weather in July is still quite hot, and it rained a few days ago, Yuxian is wondering if there will be mushrooms in the forest.So on the second day after returning from Fucheng, Yu Xian carried a basket and wanted to go into the forest just after breakfast.Don't worry about Dalang, of course they all followed up the mountain.In the east of the village there is a forest with more pine trees, which is Yuxian's goal today.

In places where there are many larch and red pine, a kind of mushroom will grow in this season. Yuxian calls it matsutake, and some people call it matsutake, and the Japanese call it matsutake.But Yuxian always thinks that matsutake and matsutake are not the same thing, at least not the rare and expensive matsutake.Matsutake is a nutritious edible fungus with thick meat and delicious taste.

Not long after entering the forest, Yuxian found a small piece of pine mushroom under a bush. The cap of the pine mushroom has not been fully unfolded, like shy little dolls, quietly revealing their yellow-brown heads.Hurry to the front and pick up the mushrooms one by one. This thing grows extremely fast, and the cap will unfold tomorrow, and the mushrooms with the cap unfolded will not be as delicious as they are now.When Dalang saw the mushrooms picked up by his sister, he asked, "Sister, are these mushrooms edible?" He only picked hazel and winter mushrooms in autumn before, but he had never picked them up.

"Yes, this pine mushroom can be scalded with boiling water at home, and then it can be fried and eaten. If you put some green peppers in it, the taste will be even better." Yuxian said excitedly.When I was young in my previous life, I loved going into the forest to pick up pine mushrooms after the rain. Later, the forest behind the village was developed, and I never tasted the taste of pine mushrooms again.

"As long as you say you can eat it, I believe you, hehe." Xiaosan doesn't care about that, as long as the younger sister says yes, he will do it. "Brother, if my sister says yes, I will do it. You see, we have earned so much money by listening to my sister."

"Okay, let's all look for this kind of mushroom. After seeing the appearance clearly, don't make a mistake." Dalang no longer wondered, and didn't even ask how the girl knew this mushroom, so he went straight to the mushroom. .

The brothers scattered and all looked down for mushrooms.There are really quite a few in this forest, and after a while, I picked up a basket.Thanks to Da Lang and the others, they are used to carrying baskets on their backs when they go up the mountain, so when the baskets are full, they put them into the baskets.In one morning, several people picked up a basket and a basket on their backs, and the brothers and sisters happily went home with mushrooms on their backs.

After returning home, I found the mushrooms in the back basket and poured them directly on a broken bamboo curtain, and spread them out to dry. There are so many mushrooms that I can’t eat them all fresh.The flavor of dried pine mushrooms is not as good as that of fresh ones, and dried products are not easy to soak. This is because pine mushrooms contain various polysaccharides, and these polysaccharides will be destroyed during the drying process, so they are not as good as fresh ones.

Yuxian dumped the pine mushrooms in the basket on the ground, then found a basin, and started to clean up the pine mushrooms.There is a layer of skin on the cap of the pine mushroom. The skin is sticky and slippery. It is easy to get some pine needles and soil on it, so it must be cleaned.Some people will directly tear off that layer of skin, but the cap is easy to tear off, and those caps that have not been opened can only be wiped off by hand.Because there is a layer of mucus on the mushrooms, Yuxian prepared a broken rag, and when there was a lot of mucus on her hands, she would use the rag to wipe her hands.Erlang saw that his younger sister was struggling, so he came to help, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu also came to help, Da Lang and Xiao San had something to go out.

There are many people and strength, and after a while, the mushrooms were processed, and Yuxian washed them twice with water and brought them into the house. "Third Aunt, can you boil the mushrooms later? Fried mushrooms for lunch."

"What kind of mushroom are you? We don't eat such mushrooms here, so don't they be poisonous? I dare not fry them for you." Zhou refused.

"Okay, I'll do it myself later." Yuxian didn't say anything, seeing that a pot had been poured out, she added some water to boil, poured the mushrooms into it and boiled it.

Mrs. Fang heard her daughter talking to Mrs. Zhou, so she came out to help and fried the mushrooms.Stir-frying pine mushrooms is very simple. Put less oil in the pot, chop some chopped green onions and fry the pot, then pour the mushrooms into the pot and fry, add some salt, you can also put a spoonful of miso, and just put some green peppers before cooking.When the mushrooms came out of the pot, a delicious fragrance immediately filled the room.

 Send the first update first, dear friends, let’s take a look at it, today is my aunt’s birthday, go there, the second update will be around three o’clock in the afternoon, hehe, please support me, give Xue’er some confidence
