Erniu's return, the happiest is Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, hearing the sound of good news from far and near outside, the two of them ran out hand in hand, just arrived at the gate of the outermost courtyard, Erniu has been surrounded by people.

The curious farmers kept asking Erniu where the three of them went. What's so surprising about it? When Er Niu left, except for a few people in Zhuangzi who knew, no one else knew about it.

Erniu, who was anxious to see the little boy, didn't speak at all, walked faster and faster, until he came to the outside of the courtyard of the main house, and saw the little boy and the little lady also come out, so he shouted loudly again, "Little boy, I'm back, I'm ......." ”

"Come back, don't talk yet, come in and rest, and Zhang Xiaowu and Zhang Xiaoliu, don't stand outside, let others help unload the things in the car, just pile them at the door."

Zhang Xiaobao was a little overwhelmed when he saw that Erniu was excited, afraid that he would tell the matter, so he hurriedly interrupted him and called him and the two people who went with him to the courtyard.

When the farmers saw that people had entered, they didn't bother much, turned around and helped unload the stones from the car, and pondered while unloading them, Erniu seemed to have been arranged by the master to go out to do things, why did he come back and bring so many stones? These stones don't look very good, and they can't be used to build a house.

"Little boy, did you see it, I brought back the kind of stones you wanted, those are, little boy, what do you want those stones for?" Erniu didn't feel tired now, stood in front of Zhang Xiaobao, and said excitedly.

"Yes, good, Erniu, have you ever leaked this matter?" Zhang Xiaobao had already seen the stone just now, it was indeed a maifan stone, and finally put his mind at ease, this year's output should be able to increase a lot, and he was worried that this matter would be accidentally said by the three of Erniu, so he looked at the other two people while asking.

Erniu shook his head, took the water handed over by the pomegranate, poured a bowl of water with his head, wiped it in his mouth with his sleeve, and replied: "Don't worry, little boy, no one knows what the three of us want the stone for, we have changed cars several times along the way, and the last person who drove the car definitely doesn't know where the stone came from."

Also, little boy, this time all the other money was spent, the stone didn't cost money, the stone was picked casually, and a lot of money was saved, little boy, you and the little lady don't worry, the three of us know that the little boy wants to use this stone to do big things, and he won't say it, and he won't say it if he dies. ”

Er Niu said this, Zhang Xiaowu and Zhang Xiaoliu also nodded beside him, they all felt that it was an honor to be able to keep a secret for the little boy.

"Okay, okay, haven't eaten yet, have you? The cucumber seedlings have been pulled, and there are still some cucumbers left on the shelf, and they are almost going to break the day after tomorrow, so they are just eaten, and you will know the use of the stone later. ”

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the appearance of the three of them, and sighed in his heart, they were all people who could be used, and hurriedly arranged for dinner.

As soon as the three of them heard that there were cucumbers to eat, their eyes lit up, there is nothing to eat that can make people miss more than the cucumbers in the winter of Shangzhuangzi, now don't look at the spring ploughing, there are still no vegetables, but some of the winter vegetables are almost eaten.

Seeing that there were cucumbers to eat, Er Niu suddenly remembered something, reached into his arms and took out a paper bag, the size of a medium bowl, bent down, handed the paper bag to Zhang Xiaobao, and slowly opened the bag, revealing some gray things inside.

"Little boy, this fungus was bought over there, and it happened that a family took it outside to dry, and I saw it, I exchanged it for the salted cucumbers you gave us to eat on the road, and the salted cucumbers in three jars were exchanged for this, and it was more when I soaked it in water."

Er Niu licked his lips with his tongue when he spoke, and he didn't know whether he was hungry for fungus or regretted that he didn't eat the cucumber pickles.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at the fungus in Erniu's hand, and they were stunned for a moment, just such a little fungus, they actually need to exchange it for three jars of salted cucumbers? The cucumber pickles were green, not the brown ones that were made last fall.

The two of them couldn't eat more food at the beginning, and they didn't have so many requirements for eating, but now that they think about it, they really haven't eaten fungus, so use this fungus to make some marinade, put some diced meat in it, and it's good to eat tofu brain.

"Erniu, have you been deceived? Three jars of cucumbers, in exchange for this little thing, you didn't eat it yourself? It's all changed. ”

Wang Juan's first thought was that Erniu, who was usually quite clever, also suffered a loss, and asked out loud.

The three of Erniu and the pomegranate all looked at Wang Juan blankly, and Erniu said after a while:

"Little lady, if you and the little boy go to change, of course it can be cheaper, but the three of us really don't have that ability, thanks to the fact that there are no such green cucumbers in the current season, otherwise, let alone three jars, even thirty jars people will not change."

"Huh? Could it be that this fungus is so expensive? Wang Juan couldn't understand for a while.

When the four of them heard this, they felt that the little boy and the little lady really didn't understand this aspect, and thought it was normal, after all, they were children.

This time, there is no need for Erniu to say, the pomegranate is there to explain, "Little boy, little lady, fungus is not something that ordinary people can eat, and our two Zhuangzi did not eat it when the main family did not eat it during the New Year." ”

"yes, I didn't eat it, I didn't eat it." Zhang Xiaobao affirmed this, and at the same time his eyes rolled.

Wang Juan's small mouth opened slightly, looking at the fungus in Erniu's hand, and then at Zhang Xiaobao's appearance, as if he had encountered something good, he smiled sweetly.

"I haven't eaten well, our family can't even eat it, Erniu, you have worked hard, go eat, pomegranate, follow us in."

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan called Erniu and the three of them to dinner, and led the pomegranate with an unknown face into the innermost room.

"Grow fungus, will you?" As soon as Wang Juan arrived in the house, he asked Zhang Xiaobao.

"I understand the general situation, the specific details are vague, just try a few more to do it together, wood is not worth much." Zhang Xiaobao looked confident.

"There will be quite a lot." Wang Juan muttered.

"That's, don't look at what we do, our industry doesn't require much refinement, but we must understand more." Zhang Xiaobao also muttered, and called the pomegranate that had just followed in front of him.

"Pomegranate, I've given you a very important thing to do, in one day, find the wood of the linden tree, and cut the wood into sawdust, and wheat bran...... Take these dried fungus and use it, soak it, and put it to the temperature, which is not the temperature, you estimate that it is slightly lower than the cold and heat of your body......

The sawdust and wheat bran are steamed in a tin bucket, and when the soaked fungus grows hairs on it, you get the hair down, how to get it, I tell you, put the hairy fungus into a bag made of yarn, knead it with cold boiled water, and the water that is kneaded down is what we want to use.

After that, I chiseled out the other woods one after the other...... Do you go buy some lime, put a little bit in a bowl, fill it with water, and use this water to brush the wood, probably that's it, do you understand? ”

Zhang Xiaobao vigorously recalled the things he had occasionally glanced at before, and said the contents in a way that Pomegranate could understand, but as a result, he spoke incoherently.

Pomegranate listened seriously, and repeated the general steps, Zhang Xiaobao explained in detail what she didn't understand, and Pomegranate finally figured out how to do it.

But she didn't know the purpose of the little boy's doing, "Little boy, don't you eat this fungus?" Give it all to me? It's better to keep some of it and let the main families of the two families taste it. ”

"I'm reluctant to eat, where can I find it after I eat it, it's so expensive, I can't even eat it when my family is so rich, and now I eat a little less, and I don't know which way is better, what if it's gone?" Zhang Xiaobao now looks at the fungus in his hand and feels that the color is not gray, it is gray-white, and it is golden.

"You can explain to the pomegranate, pomegranate, let me tell you, follow Xiaobao's method, we can grow our own fungus, when the time comes, we can eat as much as we want, this must not let others know." Wang Juan interjected on the side to explain to Pomegranate.

"Huh?" Pomegranate opened her mouth as wide as she could, looked at the two little boys, and then at the dried fungus, nodded mechanically, and suddenly knelt on the ground, pointing to the sky with one hand and the ground with the other.

"I swear that I will never let this method know to a fourth person except the little boy, the little lady and myself, and if I want to say it, let God make a big thunder and chop me into ashes."

Before Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could react to help, Pomegranate stood up by himself, took the fungus, gasped twice, turned around and ran away.

"It's gone, it's really sent this time, Xiaobao, will you cultivate mushrooms?" Wang Juan thought that in the future, he and Zhang Xiaobao would have a large area of land, and many farmers would happily farm on it, and asked Xiaobao excitedly.

"It should be about the same, right? Mushrooms usually seem to be edible, but there are a lot of them on the mountain, and they are not worth a few dollars, so what are you doing with them? "Zhang Xiaobao doesn't care about the amount of money, he has long been used to it.

"Not much, most of the people go up the mountain to pick mushrooms and sell them, they eat less, mushrooms are usually paired with meat to cook, if you want to eat a meal, it is ten and a half days and a half months, eating mushrooms is good for the body, get it out for the village to eat, that thing is not valuable, a basket is a basket."

Wang Juan is determined to build a warm manor, so that all the farmers can grow up healthily.

Zhang Xiaobao can only cooperate, there is a stable rear, he can avoid a lot of trouble, and nodded, "Okay, when the fungus is successful, we will get mushrooms, pine mushrooms and hazel mushrooms don't seem to work, and then choose one, this is more difficult than fungus." ”

"That's not in a hurry, it's okay to wait a few days, let's go, go and see how big our garlic seedlings are, and if you can eat them, you can make garlic sprout soup for the farmers tonight."

Wang Juan didn't urge for the time being, thinking that a few days ago, a farmer sent some garlic seedlings to the master's family to eat, and she and Zhang Xiaobao also got a lot, this thing is good, you can eat several stubbles, it tastes better than leeks.
