Chapter 22: The Black Mushroom Is Stolen
The few sorghum grains that were harvested that day were raked and hula-opened, dried outside, dried for three days, and the skin was removed, and a few meals of sorghum rice could be eaten.
Xu Tiantian counted the days day by day, and when it was time to pick the fungus, she threw the half-rotten wood out of the house, this thing has mold and grows badly, and it can't be kept in the house, otherwise it won't be long before the whole wall will grow mold.
Xuanye helped clean the fungus together, and the two worked carefully, even the smaller ones were not spared.
Xu Tiantian put the picked fungus aside and stopped him: "Xuan, Xuanye, it's useless if it's too small." ”
Xuan Ye looked at the rotten wood, then at the tiny fungus in his hand, and finally decided to throw the fungus on the ground.
I found a few stones with the most sunlight and put those fungus on them, "This thing is mold, so we have to dry it, dry it and soak it lightly in water, just a few of them can make a plate." ”
Xuan Ye didn't understand what mold was, so he just nodded. But I still have some doubts in my heart, just a few small mushroom-like things can be fried out of a plate of vegetables?
However, I thought that Xu Tiantian could plant vegetables on the kang so that they could survive this famine, she was very smart and always knew some strange things.
In the evening, Xuan Ye looked at Xu Tiantian in a bit of a panic, as if something big had happened, "Tiantian, Tiantian, it's a big deal, half of that black mushroom was stolen by someone!" ”
Xu Tiantian hurriedly got down from the kang, shouldn't it, although they live in a thatched house, there is also a bamboo fence outside, if someone comes in, she can see it clearly.
When she got outside, she finally understood what Xuan Ye meant by "half stolen by someone".
After a whole day of sunbathing, the fungus looks a little smaller, and at this glance, it does look like each one has been cut in half.
"It wasn't someone who stole them, it was the sun that had been basking all day, and the water had evaporated."
Xu Tiantian didn't know if she could understand Xuan Ye's explanation. Xuanye didn't care, as long as it wasn't stolen by someone, it would be small.
After eating in the evening, Xu Tiantian asked Xuanye to continue to burn the fire, the stove was hot, Xu Tiantian put the fungus on the stove, and the fungus was a little smaller one night.
The next day, the two of them woke up, Xu Tiantian divided the fungus into two waves, one was kept for himself to eat, and the other part was ready to be sold.
I found a clean sack and filled it with a full bag. Taking advantage of the early weather, the two of them went to the dock again, took Xuanye into a medical hall, put one hand on the counter, and tapped lightly with his fingers: "Boss, do you want to collect fungus here?" ”
The boss hurriedly put down the medicine in his hand, "The girl has fungus in her hand?" ”
The fungus is a high-grade medicinal material, which nourishes qi and blood, moistens the lungs and relieves cough, stops bleeding and lowers blood pressure, but it is really difficult to find in this winter. Therefore, the price is higher.
Xu Tiantian glanced at Xuan Ye, who put the sack on his back on the counter, "Naturally, there is." ”
The boss opened the bag and inspected them carefully, but the boss was shrewd: "This is in good condition, and it is also a big one, what price does the girl want to sell?" ”
"Since the boss asked me, then I don't twist much, these I weighed when I came out, how about two catties, one or two silver?"
The boss asked her to make a bid, but he was testing whether she could be a layman, and if she quoted a low price, the boss would naturally make a profit. If you don't understand the market, you can only quote higher.
I just don't know if these things are worth so much money.
The boss slapped the table, and the two of them were startled, "Okay, one or two is one or two!" ”
Xu Tiantian's eyes widened, this ...... Is that worth a tael of silver?
If she had known, she would have gotten more.
It's just that Xu Tiantian doesn't know that this thing is common in modern times, but most of the ancient people didn't know that this thing was edible, especially when they saw that it grew in a moldy mold pile, which made people stay away. It grows in the forest, and no one has ever tried to plant it, and in winter, the fungus has almost disappeared, which is naturally worth this price.
Holding the silver tightly in his arms, he turned around and came out, and there was a grain shop opposite, and after thinking about it, he walked in.
Xuan Ye followed behind, he was literate, and the word "grain" was clearly written on the curtain outside, "Tiantian, but do you want to buy rice?" ”
Xu Tiantian walked ahead and looked around, the store was full of food, rice and noodles, "Don't buy rice, buy some fine noodles." ”
There are still some sorghum grains at home, which can be worth a while, and it is a luxury to buy rice again.
Buy some white noodles and steam a pot of steamed buns, and a few of them can eat for a while.
It's just that Xu Tiantian thinks simply. asked the price, and her eyes widened, as if someone was trying to rob her of money: "Boss, why is this side so expensive?" ”
The boss raised his head and glanced at her, she was wearing ordinary clothes, and she didn't have any decent jewelry on her body, so she wouldn't buy it if she asked, "You go and inquire, within a radius of ten miles, my fine noodles here are the cheapest." ”
