"Look, grandma." Mu Xiu lifted the lid of the pot and let Chen Wenhua look at the stewed things in the pot.

Chen Wenhua poked his head unceremoniously, and sure enough, except for a few strange-looking mushrooms in the pot that were slowly tumbling, there were indeed no other ingredients.

"Little girl, why haven't I seen this mushroom?" Chen Wenhua asked curiously.

"Grandma, these are all mushrooms that grow in the mountains, picked after rain on weekdays, dried in the sun, and when there is no other food to eat at home, cook some soup to pad your stomach." Mu Xiu had already thought of her rhetoric, and the reason why she chose to make mushroom soup was also because it was easy to explain to outsiders.

"Can you sell me a bowl to taste?" Chen Wenhua pointed to the mushroom soup in the pot.

Mu Xiu was a little stunned when she heard this, why did someone come to buy the soup she made...... Is her cooking really that good? This is a very common practice!

But after thinking about it, in this era, people are generally not full of food and clothing, who is still in the mood to think about eating, her bowl of soup, if it is not for the stock, meat powder and shrimp powder to enhance the taste, then it is almost the same as what others do.

"Yes." Mu Xiu was stunned, the business sent to the door did not make money in vain, and now, it is a little bit to make a little money.

"How much?"

"A bowl for a dollar."

After Chen Wenhua handed Mu Xiu a dollar, he handed over a yellow enamel jar and motioned for Mu Xiu to pour it in.

Mu Xiu was stunned when he saw this yellow enamel jar, wasn't this the one Lu Yuan brought before? Although everyone is using an enamel jar now, but there is a small piece of enamel missing from the position of the handle of this enamel jar, and when Mu Xiu poured soup for Lu Yuan yesterday, he saw it with sharp eyes.

"Little girl, what's your name?" Just as Mu Xiu was muttering in his heart, Chen Wenhua suddenly asked.

"My name is Mu Xiu."

"Are your family members hospitalized here?" When Chen Wenhua took the enamel bowl handed over by Mu Xiu, he pretended to mention it inadvertently.

"Yes, my sister is sick, and we live in pediatric bed 3, which is the third floor of the inpatient department." Mu Xiu thought of the conversation between Grandpa Lu and Lu Yuan, and from the actions and temptations of Lu Yuan and the grandmother in front of her to come to buy food, she vaguely felt something, and she immediately poured beans into a bamboo tube and explained her details.

If you can seize this cooking business, will you be able to have an extra income......

It's the third day, and Xiaohua's treatment costs are not enough to pay today, no matter what the intentions of the person who came, Mu Xiu is unwilling to give up this opportunity!

"That's right, okay, Mu Xiu, then I'll go back first, the old man is waiting for breakfast." When Chen Wenhua heard that Mu Xiu was living in the pediatric ward, he couldn't help but think that it was a coincidence, he happened to live on the first floor with Lu Niandong, and when he went back, he called the nurse to inquire about the family.

"Okay, grandma, you go slowly."

After Chen Wenhua left, Mu Xiu quickly drank a small bowl of it himself, and then went back with the finished mushroom soup.

When Zhou Shuilian saw the mushroom soup, she didn't have any suspicions, this thing was everywhere after the rain in the mountains, she took Mu Xiu to pick it often, this thing was worthless in Zhou Shuilian's eyes, so she didn't think Mu Xiu spent money indiscriminately.

However, after taking a sip, Zhou Shuilian praised the provincial city again, it was different, the mushroom soup was so delicious, but this time it was whispered to Mu Xiu......

Mu Xiu waited until the nurse took Mu Xiaohua away, and then said to Zhou Shuilian: "Mother, you rest here, I'll go to the hospital canteen to see if there is any work I can do." ”

"Go ahead, I'm fine here, don't get tired." Zhou Shuilian heard Mu Xiu say in the past few days that she was helping to do some chores in the canteen, and the hospital canteen gave her five cents a day, and she was distressed and sad in her heart.

Zhou Shuilian persuaded Mu Xiu not to do it, but if Mu Xiu said that she didn't do the work, Xiaohua's money for treatment would be less and less, and she directly blocked Zhou Shuilian's mouth......

After Mu Xiu walked out of the ward, she walked towards the vegetable market behind the hospital, in the past two days, when she was cooking, she often met the old woman she met on the first day, and the old woman told Mu Xiu where to buy vegetables is cheaper, where to buy a complete variety of vegetables, Mu Xiu firmly remembered it.

Taking time out today, Mu Xiu plans to go to the vegetable market to see the current market, and by the way, find out if there is any way to make some money back.

As a result, when he arrived at the vegetable market, Mu Xiu was dumbfounded......

Not to mention the pitiful lack of things here, they are all purchased with food stamps in designated places, and there are long queues everywhere, and there are crowds of people......

Mu Xiu then prepared to go to Shuangyulin Road to take a look, these days cooking in the small canteen, in addition to communicating with the grandmother, she can also hear the whispers of the other cooking patients' family members around her.

The people mentioned Shuangyulin Road, which is one stop away from the hospital, where there is a black market where you can buy some daily necessities without food stamps.

After Mu Xiu looked around the vegetable market, after noting down the prices of a lot of things, he walked towards Shuangyulin Road, Mu Xiu wanted to use the things in the space and exchange some money for it.

After all, there are many rich people in the provincial capital, but in this era, you can't buy what you want if you have money.

The distance of a station is not long, soon, Mu Xiu arrived at Shuangyulin Road, the atmosphere here is really different from other places, there are people everywhere in a hurry, everyone's face is wrapped tightly, from time to time there are two people talking to each other, and then one after the other left, everyone knows that after the transaction is made verbally, it is necessary to find a more hidden place to go to the currency and clear it.

The state now strictly prohibits buying and selling, and prohibits ordinary people from trading privately. However, when there was a severe shortage of supplies, people could not buy supplies with food stamps and banknotes, and the black market was created.

"Little girl, what do you have?" An old lady approached Mu Xiu at some point and asked softly.

At this time, Mu Xiu was carrying a small bamboo basket on her back, and a scarf was tightly wrapped around her head, covering her mouth and nose, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was here to trade.

"Auntie, what do you need?" Mu Xiu didn't expect someone to ask so soon, she had all the things she needed, it depended on what the other party wanted.

"Do you have any fine grains?" The old lady looked at Mu Xiu with a look of hope.

Nowadays, most people do not have enough small grains for a year, especially those who have children and the elderly at home.

"Yes, there is rice and white flour." In Mu Xiu's back basket, there was a bag of ten catties of rice, a bag of ten catties of white noodles, and dozens of eggs.

"Little girl, really?" The old grandmother couldn't believe it and glanced at Mu Xiu again.
