Chapter 11: Trying it out with your own family (thanks to the "Great Demon King Who is Not Crazy" for ten thousand rewards)
After selling three handfuls of mushrooms, Wei Mingrang did not go home directly. He went to the vegetable market and bought a chicken and asked the boss to slaughter it. Then I bought two more bottles of soy sauce and vinegar before going home.
Other sesame oils, oyster sauces, and sesame oils will be very unusual in rural areas in 2005. Especially the conditions of his family are not good, don't be seen by relatives and neighbors and spread some weird words.
Wait for the future to rebuild or buy a new house, and after decorating it well, and then improve the quality of life, it will not seem so abrupt.
I didn't buy pork either.
Now there is no refrigerator at home, and I have to boil three handfuls of mushroom and chicken soup to eat today, but the meat cannot be bought, and there is no place to refrigerate it when I buy it, but it will change its taste.
Back at home, Wei Ming asked the stove to boil water to blanch the chicken for a while, then poured out the dirty water mixed with blood blisters and broken bones, washed the pot, re-added water and ginger slices to start boiling chicken soup over low heat.
When it's almost 11 o'clock, put three handfuls of mushrooms that have been washed and torn into small pieces, add a little salt and boil them together.
Except for the salt and ginger, and the chopped green onion at the end, no other condiments can be placed in the chicken soup with three handfuls of mushrooms.
Putting too many condiments, such as monosodium glutamate or something, will destroy the taste of the three handfuls of mushrooms themselves.
As the three handfuls of mushrooms were put into the pot and boiled, a faint fragrance began to slowly waft out of the room.
The more time passed, the smell of the three handfuls of mushrooms mixed with chicken soup became stronger and stronger, making Wei Mingrang drool a little.
More than an hour later, at half past eleven, three handfuls of mushroom chicken soup were almost ready.
As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, a strong smell of chicken soup and mushrooms came to his face, making Wei Mingrang take a few sips.
I filled half a bowl in a small bowl and tried to drink it while blowing.
As soon as the soup was in his mouth, although it was very hot, the strong fresh aroma immediately conquered Wei Mingrang's taste buds, and the salt was also suitable.
I couldn't wait to drink all the small half bowl of chicken soup while blowing, and after enjoying it with my eyes closed for a few seconds, it was estimated that my mother and two younger sisters were coming back, Wei Mingrang didn't want to be greedy anymore, and used a soup bowl to fill the chicken soup.
The chicken soup made from a whole chicken is still a lot of portions, and the only two soup bowls at home can't fit it, and finally I put two bowls in a large bowl that I usually use to eat noodles, and then sprinkle some home-grown green onions on top.
Then Wei Mingrang washed the pot, fried a green vegetable, dipped a bowl of chili peppers in water, and waited for his mother and sisters to come back to eat.
As for the rice, it is all cooked in the rice cooker when I leave home in the morning.
It's a little longer, but there's no way. If you wait until noon to pick tea and then come back to cook rice, I am afraid that my stomach will be hungry when the rice is cooked.
Cook the rice with a rice cooker before going out in the morning, and come back at noon to stir-fry the vegetables on the wood stove quickly, so you can eat as soon as possible to fill your stomach.
However, there is also a disadvantage of burning firewood, which is that it is dusty and requires cutting wood.
Although it doesn't cost money, it takes a lot of time and is tiring to go to the woods to cut, pick up, bundle, and carry it home and stack it neatly.
In his previous life, he didn't have today's windfall, and the speed of tea picking was not fast, so he barely enough for his living expenses in the first semester.
Now with this windfall, the speed of tea picking is also much faster than in the previous life.
After Wei Mingrang came back from going to Hunan, he helped his mother buy an induction cooker before going to college, and usually used the induction cooker to stir-fry.
Only when guests come and need to fry a lot of vegetables on high heat, or when the power goes out, do they burn the wood stove and stir-fry the vegetables in a large pot.
……
Although I was curious about how many handfuls of mushrooms my brother picked up, how much money he sold, and whether he kept a little at home for them to try.
But under the supervision of Hu Mengxian, the mother and daughter still picked tea until half past eleven, filled the tea pocket, and then went to the tea factory to weigh the tea and go home.
Wei Mingrang's home is on the side of National Highway 326, and the traffic is quite convenient.
Walking to the courtyard, before entering the door, the mother smelled an unusual smell.
It had the aroma of chicken soup, but it was stronger than the chicken soup they had eaten before, and there were other flavors that were more fragrant.
Could it be that the eldest brother used three handfuls of mushrooms to make chicken soup?
Wei Mingjiao and Wei Mingfei screamed strangely, pushed open the door of the stove room and rushed in before Hu Mengxian.
I didn't see my brother, but I saw two bowls of chicken soup covered with a gauze cover and a bowl of green vegetables on the dining table.
The two sisters threw the tea bag, straw hat, and plastic film on the ground, and then gathered together to sniff a few sips, and praised in unison: "It's so fragrant!"
At this time, Wei Mingrang came out of the study, and Hu Mengxian also walked in from outside.
Seeing the eldest brother, the two sisters' eyes suddenly lit up, and they rushed over in unison, and one of them grabbed Wei Ming and asked in a chatter.
"Big brother, where did you pick up the three handfuls of mushrooms?"
"How much did you pick up, and how much did you sell?"
"Can you take us there next time?"
Wei Mingrang didn't answer them, but called Hu Mengxian Mom.
Hu Mengxian responded, and then stared at the two sisters Jiaojiao and Ming Fei with a calm face.
The two sisters found out that their mother had come in, so they quickly stopped their curious questioning, stuck out their tongues to Wei Mingrang, and obediently picked up the tea bags, straw hats, and plastic films on the ground, put them where they should be, and then changed their shoes and washed their faces.
After the mothers and the family were all cleaned up, Wei Mingrang also packed the soup, and the family sat down around the dining table, and each person began to drink the soup with a small bowl.
At this time, the soup has become warm, not hot, and the mother and the girl sighed at the deliciousness of the three handfuls of mushroom chicken soup after taking a sip, and said that the three handfuls of mushrooms are worthy of their name, and the taste is really extraordinary.
Subsequently, he naturally asked about Wei Mingrang picking up three handfuls of mushrooms and selling three handfuls of mushrooms.
Of course, Wei Mingrang can't tell the truth, he can only make up stories.
Wei Mingrang said that he first went to the pine forest in Guojiawan for a while, and then found the first cluster of three handfuls of mushrooms in the shrubs, and finally found the one in the valley of Huo Daxiao's family.
and said that he met Huo Daxiao later, and the mother also felt that Wei Ming was so lucky.
As long as the time is missed for a while, when Huo Daxiao goes to the field to hoe grass and sees three handfuls of mushrooms, this windfall should be picked up by Huo Daxiao.
Then when it came to Song Chengbi's broken mouth, Hu Mengxian was also unhappy.
However, she still warned Wei Mingrang to the three brothers and sisters, Song Chengbi is an elder after all, and she usually has to be respectful.
Naturally, she didn't know that in another time and space, in 2018, the two families would develop to the point of fighting and her husband being detained for 15 days.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so generous.
Wei Mingrang naturally couldn't say this, so he could only agree to his mother's words.
In the end, when Wei Ming asked each string of three mushrooms to sell for 40 yuan, and 13 strings sold for 520 yuan, the mother was amazed again.
Hu Mengxian sighed: "I heard that last year, it was only five or six yuan a flower at most, 30 yuan a bunch, and this year the price has increased again!"
Wei Mingrang said with a smile: "Now everyone's living standards are getting higher and higher, and there are more and more rich people. These delicacies from the mountains and seas will naturally become more and more valuable. Three handfuls of mushrooms will definitely be more expensive in the future. ”
Hu Mengxian said: "Yes, however, this thing is too dependent on luck, you don't want to get the sweetness and go to find it all day long, delaying the tea picking." ”
Wei Mingrang hurriedly nodded and said, "Naturally not, I just saw Uncle Zhong pick up some three handfuls of mushrooms today, and I just want to try my luck, and I won't go in the future." ”
In addition to Huo Daxiao, although there are other people in the village who have picked up three handfuls of mushrooms, either it is not this year, or Wei Mingrang does not know the specific location, and he can't pick it up cheaply.
It is already good to be able to cut off a beard, pick up more than 500 yuan for nothing, and let my mother and sister taste three handfuls of mushroom and chicken soup.
