Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 98 Invitation

However, seeing Bai's persuasion, she accepted her good intentions, picked out a handful of morel mushrooms from the basket and stuffed them to Bai, and asked her to take them home to make soup for the family at night to try something new.

Bai Shi was not too polite, took it, and returned a handful of porcini mushrooms for her to taste too.

Hearing Shen Jiayan's footsteps and voice, Dahei and Xiaobai rushed out of the yard a long time ago, only shaking their heads and tails around Shen Jiayan, very happy.

Entering the courtyard, Mu Tianze took the centipede that Mu Yue was drying on the mat. The centipede had to be dried thoroughly before being sold to the pharmacy.

Elderly people and children with handicapped legs in the village are drying centipedes at home.

The same goes for the three Mu Tianze brothers and sisters, who are more dedicated than others. The three of them take turns guarding the porch without blinking their eyes. When the sun goes down, they are busy putting away the centipede.

Seeing Shen Jiayan coming back, he untied the basket and gathered around to have a look, they still recognized the morel and the colostrum.

When I was in the county town, there would be nearby mountain people who would pick this and sell it in the county town. When the purchases in the mansion happened, they would buy them back to the mansion for them to try.

Seeing it again now, recalling the deliciousness of the mushroom soup, I couldn't help swallowing.

But they all knew that this was going to be sold for money, so no matter how greedy they were, they never begged Shen Jiayan to keep some for themselves.

Mu Yue brought Shen Jiayan a bowl of herbal tea, Shen Jiayan took it and drank it in one go, recovering.

Putting the porcini mushrooms that Bai Shi gave her aside, picked out a handful of morel mushrooms, and a few blue-headed mushrooms, and handed them to Mu Yue for her to clean.

By the way, I cooked the rice, and waited for her to fry the wild mushrooms, otherwise, with Mu Yue's strength, I'm afraid this good thing would be ruined.

I moved the small bench by myself and picked up the wild mushrooms.

These wild mushrooms can't just be left overnight, they have to be cleaned up quickly.

Wild mushrooms are delicate, and they cannot be washed in water if they want to be stored. For the mud at the root of the fungus, use a knife to gently peel off the mud, then tear it from the middle, and spread it on the dustpan.

Most of the mud at the roots of morels has dried up, so pick them out and put them in a sieve, gently sieve off the mud and pine needles at their roots, and spread them evenly on a round dustpan.

Because it is not daytime and the humidity is high at night, these wild fungi have to be dried slowly with charcoal fire, otherwise they are afraid that they will be broken or moldy after one night.

After she packed up all these wild mushrooms, she was waiting to dry them, and Mu Yue's side was also ready, and she was waiting for Shen Jiayan to cook.

It's rare to eat such fresh and wild delicacies. Shen Jiayan was also very excited, and even poured a little more oil into the pot.

Put garlic slices to saute until fragrant, then add shredded green peppers, stir-fry until fragrant, throw in the sliced ​​porcini mushrooms and stir-fry together, add a little soy sauce, stir-fry evenly, add a little water, and stir-fry for a few minutes , When the boletus is cooked, you can start the pot.

The same is true for Qingtou fungus. There is no meat at home, so it can only be fried, even if it is fried, it is very delicious!
The morels are very fresh, so cook the soup directly, start with the oil pan, put garlic slices and sauté until fragrant, then put the morels and stir fry, then pour in an appropriate amount of water to boil, wait until you smell the aroma, you can serve it out , this soup is also extremely delicious.

As soon as these three dishes were brought to the table, everyone's eating speed almost doubled as soon as the chopsticks were put into their mouths.

At this time in Dongguang Village, the scent of wild mushrooms is wafting over almost every household in the village. The whole village is like celebrating the New Year, especially the children.

While it was still dark, I ran out with my own job bowl, and compared with my friends who made delicious mushrooms, and there were many varieties.

However, ordinary people are reluctant to cook porcini mushrooms, colostrum mushrooms, and morel mushrooms for their own food. This is old and valuable, so naturally they have to be dried and sold for money.

Generally, some trumpet fungus or blue head fungus is made, which is regarded as a tooth-fighting sacrifice.

In the following days, the women in the village went up to the mountain every day, and the men also went into the mountain to search when they had time to spare.

They are bold, can go deeper into the mountains, and gain more than women.

The three brothers and sisters of the Mu family also slowly learned to trim the various wild mushrooms collected by Shen Jiayan, and the three brothers and sisters all had a division of labor.

Mu Yue was in charge of removing the mud from the roots of the wild mushrooms, Mu Tianze was in charge of roasting the wild mushrooms and watching the fire, and Mu Tianrun also arranged for him to stay at the gate of the yard during the day, watching the centipedes get sunburned by the gate.

Shen Jiayan returned home with harvest every day, and the open space in the yard was no longer enough to dry centipedes and wild fungi.

I had no choice but to move the centipede outside the yard to dry, and I was afraid that the chickens and ducks in the village would eat the centipede, and I was afraid that some unclean hands and feet would walk away with the centipede, so I simply asked Mu Tianrun to guard the place with big black and small white. the door.

Mu Tianrun is basically a mascot, there are big black and little white, as long as someone passes by from a distance, they will get up vigilantly and call a few times in that direction.

Not to mention the chickens and ducks, before they got close, they were chased away by the big black and the little white.

After that heavy rain, the weather has been sunny, and the wild mushrooms in the mountains have become less and less. Every time I go up the mountain, the harvest is less and less. If I am unlucky, I can only find the bottom of a basket after going to the mountain for a day.

Everyone stopped going into the mountains, and just concentrated on drying and storing the wild mushrooms that they picked home, and then sold them to the merchants who collected mountain goods when they went to the market, and the chewing in the first half of the year came out.

Shen Jiayan also followed the villagers, stopped going into the mountains, and sorted out the gains during this period of time at home.

Not to mention centipedes, these wild mushrooms are baked every night and dried during the day. During this period of time, they have accumulated dozens of catties of dry goods.

Just thinking about going to the town or county to sell the centipede and dried wild mushrooms for money, the Bai family next door came to invite him to go to town early tomorrow morning.

Shen Jiayan naturally refused to agree, and after thinking about it, she told the Mu Tianze brothers and sisters that she would go to the town tomorrow, and then she would go to the county seat.

The price of dried wild mushrooms in the county must be higher than the price in the town. If the quantity is not large, there is no need to go to the county, but her family has dozens of catties in stock, so the price difference is quite a lot.

What's more, she plans to refine white sugar. These days, she should have all the equipment for refining white sugar.

She can't wait until the beets are ripe before she starts preparing in a hurry, right?

She didn't know how much those utensils cost. She didn't have much money left, so she could only risk finding a reliable buyer in the county town and sell one or two recipes to meet her urgent needs.

Selling recipes in the town is easy to be found, and it is much better to go to the county town.

When the Mu Tianze brothers and sisters heard that Shen Jiayan was going to the county town, they didn't think too much about it, they just thought that Shen Jiayan wanted to go to the county town to sell dry goods and make more money.

Therefore, they all patted their chests and promised to take a good look at the house, and there would never be any accidents that would cause trouble for Shen Jiayan.
