Chapter 24 Li Heng's Birthday
Li Ran went to the town to deliver fungus again that day.

Before Li Ran reached the door, Liang San greeted him. "Miss Li, you are here. It's been a long time since you delivered the goods, but our shopkeeper is in a hurry."

"What's the matter, didn't you give a lot of fungus at once last time? Isn't it enough?" Li Ran was puzzled.

"It's not about the fungus, it's something else. I'll take you to the shopkeeper first, and let the shopkeeper explain it to you in detail." Liang San led the confused Li Ran upstairs to the private room.

Liang San pushed open one of the doors, "Shopkeeper, Miss Li is here."

Li Ran walked in and saw shopkeeper Yang and a gentle young man in his 20s sitting at the table drinking tea. Is it really good to drink tea in the morning?
"Miss Li, come and sit down." Shopkeeper Yang greeted Li Ran, "This is my eldest son Yang Can, who came back to visit his relatives recently."

"Miss Li, please sit down," Yang Can also greeted Li Ran with a smile. Li Ran didn't know what was going on.

Li Ran was not timid, and sat down directly, waiting for shopkeeper Yang to speak.

Shopkeeper Yang didn't play charades, and said straight to the point: "Miss Li, my son came back this time and ate the mushroom fungus you sent. He thought it tasted very good, and he didn't eat it usually. I want you to send some fresh mushrooms again. When I return to Beijing one day, I will give some to the nobles to taste."

Your Excellency?How expensive?Li Ran thought in her heart.

The mushrooms that Li Ran usually sends are common oyster mushrooms.

Li Ran also went to the mountain yesterday to pick some precious Hericium erinaceus and some truffles.Originally, I kept it for myself to eat, so why don't I just sell it to shopkeeper Yang?Li Ran was planning to take the opportunity to blackmail him.

"Shopkeeper Yang, since you are going to send a noble person, you must not give the kind of mushrooms I usually give." Seeing that Li Ran no longer called himself Uncle Yang, shopkeeper Yang knew in his heart that this was the rhythm of business discussions.

"Of course, Miss Li has other precious varieties?" Shopkeeper Yang asked tentatively.

"Yes, I just picked it yesterday. It has high nutritional and medicinal value, and the taste is much better than oyster mushrooms, so the price is different from ordinary oyster mushrooms." Li Ran straight Speaking of.

"I don't know what it is like, how many are there?" Shopkeeper Yang didn't know why he believed that the little girl in front of him had the ability to provide something out of the ordinary.

"Not much, four catties of Hericium erinaceus, half a catty of truffle. If you want it, it's 500 taels, and I'll give you the cooking method as a gift." Li Ran opened his mouth loudly, anyway, do you want it or not.

"Is it too expensive? How do I know that your stuff is worth 500 taels?" Yang Can interjected.

"You'll know if my stuff is worth it or not after you try it." Li Ran didn't want to talk to him, she looked like a scholar, and she didn't want to please others, huh...

"I want both, 500 taels, right? When will you bring these two?" Shopkeeper Yang believed in Li Ran, after all, he made his restaurant earn more than a year in the past two months.

"Alright then, if you need it urgently, you will send someone to follow me home to get it. By the way, you can't reveal that I picked it." Li Ran is very safety conscious.

"Naturally." Yang Can agreed.

"Shopkeeper Yang, help me weigh the fungus first. By the way, shopkeeper Yang, I may not give away fungus in the future. Now that the weather is getting colder, the fungus doesn't grow very much. I will send them next year." Li Ran Thinking about finding a way to get wood ear mushrooms to breed at home.

"There are few vegetables in winter, without fungus, but a big loss of income." Shopkeeper Yang sighed.

Few vegetables in winter?If I build a greenhouse here, I should be able to make a fortune.Moreover, Shanwang Town is close to the official road, and there are big rivers and large boats dozens of miles to the north, where vegetables can be transported out.

……

After leaving Fumanyuan, Li Ran went directly to the tailor shop to make new clothes for Li Heng, and went to the book store to buy books and paper, which were very expensive.I went to West Street to buy food and meat. Tomorrow is the third day of junior high school, Li Heng's sixth birthday.

On the third day of junior high school, Li Ran asked Li Heng to go home early after school.

In the evening, Li Ran cooked a large table of dishes.

"Xiao Heng, come and eat soon." Li Ran called out Li Heng who was practicing calligraphy in the study.

"Sister, so many dishes, can we finish it?" Li Heng was very happy that his sister remembered his birthday, but also felt uncomfortable wasting food for himself.

"It's time to finish eating. Besides, today is your birthday. Of course, you have to do more. There was no condition before. Now that our family is rich, we naturally want to celebrate with a good meal. Eat with confidence. Oh, I almost forgot , there is a gift from me in the kitchen." After speaking, he quickly ran to the kitchen and brought out the cake he learned to make, with the words "Happy Birthday" written on it with jam.

Li Heng looked at the cake made by his sister, and was so moved that tears flowed down his face. "Sister, you are too kind to me, woo..."

"I'm not good to you, who is good to me? I'm just a family member." Li Ran couldn't help crying, she finally had a family member, so why not treat her better.

"By the way, there are also these basic books and clothes. They are all bought for you. Do you know that you should study hard? From now on, the family will depend on you." Li Ran did not forget to teach a few words while giving the gift.

Li Heng nodded while wiping his tears, "Sister, I understand, I will work hard."

"Come on, eat your vegetables quickly, or it will be cold." "Well, okay, sister, you can eat too."

This birthday was spent amidst the happy cries of the two siblings.
