Chapter 153: Into the City
Overall, today's harvest is huge, and just a few strains of Lingzhi are enough to sell for a lot of silver. The three sisters and brothers walked home happily, and on the way, Yunxue asked him to try to shoot a few arrows in order to exercise Tianfu, but he shot a pheasant.
"I have something to eat tonight, let's go, let's not delay any longer, hurry home." Yun Xue carried a pheasant in her hand, carried a basket behind her back, and walked home quickly.
Waiting for them to get home, it was already the beginning of Shen Shichu. Yunni didn't dare to look outside the door, so she walked back and forth in the courtyard, waiting anxiously. When Yun Xue knocked on the door, Yun Ni hurriedly opened the door, "Eldest sister, second brother, why have you been out for so long?" I'm dying at home. ”
Yun Xue was full of smiles, "What are you anxious about?" We've been out for a long time, so naturally we've got something good. Come and see, we've got what we've gotten back. Yun Xue couldn't wait to let Yun Ni see what they had gained today.
Yun Zhen turned around and closed the gate, and then in the middle of this courtyard, everyone took out the things they had harvested today.
"Ah, a lot of Ganoderma lucidum. God, there is such a big one, this one, it can't be sold for thirty or fifty taels of silver? Eldest sister, where did you go to collect so many Ganoderma lucidum and come back? When Yunni saw those Ganoderma lucidum, she asked in surprise.
Yun Xue told her sister about the situation at that time.
Yunni pondered for a moment before saying, "Eldest sister, I don't need to leave this Lingzhi to me, I'm okay to treat a minor problem now, but I'm still far from being able to treat a difficult and serious disease." This thing is left to me, and it is not of much use, so it is better to sell it to the pharmacy and exchange it for some silver. Besides, these nine Ganoderma lucidum grow on the same tree, and the shape is quite similar, which is very rare. Ganoderma lucidum is originally an auspicious omen, nine Ganoderma lucidum in the same tree, it is a good omen, this thing is sold together, it should be able to sell at a good price. ”
Yun Xue thought about it and felt that what her sister said was right, it was really useless for them to keep it, so it was better to sell it. "Okay, listen to you, then we'll go to the state city in the next two days and sell the Ganoderma lucidum. On our side, I'm afraid that there is no pharmacy that can buy these nine Ganoderma lucidum at once. ”
There are still some silver taels at home, but in today's world, I don't know what it will become. It is better to exchange it for silver, or to put it in grain, which is the safest. After discussion, it was unanimously decided to sell the Ganoderma lucidum. So, Yun Xue put the lingzhi back into the basket and waited for the two days to take time to go to the state city.
The rest of the medicinal materials are quite ordinary, so Yunni will stay and deal with them, maybe they will be used in the future. And those pig's mouth mushrooms, Yun Xue put them in a basin and washed them over and over again. This thing is fleshy, and it is a pleasure to wash it. In fact, the toxins of the pig's mouth mushroom are on the outer layer, wash it a few times, and wait until the water becomes clear and no longer black, and it is basically the same. However, after Yun Xue washed it with water four or five times, she washed it with salt once and then with alkali.
Tianfu saw that the pig's mouth mushroom was blistered a little bigger, and the color became lighter and became reddish-brown. I knew that this thing was washed, and I was about to reach out and get a food to eat.
Yun Xue slapped Tianfu's hand away, "You gluttonous cat, you will eat it now, will you eat it at night?" If you still eat it at night, it's equivalent to two meals, and you have to arch it. If you want to suffer, I don't care. "It's no joke.
Tianfu scratched his head and smiled innocently, "Eldest sister, is it so powerful?" Then I'd better wait for the evening to eat together. ”
Yunni was over there to deal with the pheasants and rabbits that were brought back today, and smiled when she heard Tianfu's words, "It's better to bear with it, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, if it arches at that time, it will be too sinful." Yunni pointed to the things in his hand, "Tianfu, you still come and help me clean up these things, let's stew chicken tonight, and the two rabbits will be pickled and kept for later." ”
Tianfu hurried over to help, and in a short time, he took care of all the pheasants and rabbits. Yunni took the salt jar, salted the rabbit inside and out, and then put it in a jar and handed it to Tianfu. "Let's go to the cave in the back, it's better to store things there, and it won't be bad for months if you put it this way." They often dispose of things like this, and now in the cave behind them, there is a lot of meat stored, and it is very well preserved.
By this time it was not early, and the sisters began to cook. Yun Xue went to the garden to pick a few cucumbers, and after cleaning, she patted them with a knife and cut them into hob pieces. Then put it with the pig's mouth mushrooms, add salt and minced garlic, and put a little vinegar in it. In this way, a cold dish is ready. There are still pheasant potatoes stewed in the pot, and the potatoes have already come out, although they are not so noodles, they can be eaten anyway. The whole room was filled with the smell of meat.
Yun Ting was reading in the room, and they couldn't help it at this time, "Sister, how long will it take to eat?" We're all hungry, and the smell is too gluttonous, isn't it? ”
"That's good, hurry up and clean up the table, let's eat." When Yun Xue heard this, she couldn't help but laugh, and hurriedly put the finished chicken into a basin.
When the boys heard this, they all came to their senses, and they quickly brought things to the table. In a few moments, the food was all on the table.
The evening meal was undoubtedly very hearty, with chicken stewed potatoes, cucumber and pig's mouth mushrooms, plus a bowl of mish, shallots, cucumbers and other things, as well as small rice porridge, cornmeal and white flour cakes, it was an excellent meal.
"Okay, let's all hurry up and eat, and rest early after eating. Tomorrow, Yun Ting and Yun Lei Mu Xiu, just at home with Tianfu to accompany Yun Ni and Yun Xia, Yun Zhen and I, we are going to go to the state city and sell the Ganoderma lucidum. By the way, let's see if you can buy some food and come back. Yun Xue hurriedly commanded.
They don't object to this Yunting, after all, there are more than 200 miles from home to the state city. Even if you drive the ox cart and get up early to leave, it will take more than a day. It takes three days to go back and forth. They only have one day to rest in the academy, so they don't have so much time to go to the state capital. "Okay, eldest sister, don't worry, we're all staying at home and not going anywhere."
The next day was June 28, and at the beginning of the Yin period, Yun Xue and Yun Zhen drove the ox cart and walked in the direction of the state city. They brought some bread and water, and they took a bite on the way. The road was quite peaceful, and it was not until the afternoon that I arrived at the state city. After entering the city, Yunxue and the others found a small inn and dealt with it casually for one night.
On the morning of the 29th, after the two siblings went out to eat something at the roadside stall, they carried baskets on their backs and walked around the state city.
This Linjiang Prefecture, formerly known as Yalu Mansion, was once the Xijing of the Bohai Kingdom. At that time, the capital city was located on the opposite bank of the river, and after the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed, the other side was returned to Gao Li. It was not until after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty that it became a state city, and it was called Linjiang Prefecture, which naturally means a city close to the Yalu River.
After all, it is a state city, which is naturally much more prosperous than the county seat, and the shops on both sides of the street are quite a bit of a feeling of delay. Yun Xue and Yun Zhen's eyes widened, looking around for the medicine shop.
"Eldest sister, there is a pharmacy here, Lin Jishan Pharmacy. It looks pretty big, so let's go over and take a look. Yun Zhen's eyes were sharp, and he saw the pharmacy at once.
Yun Xue followed the direction pointed by Yun Zhen and also saw the bright signboard. "Okay, let's go over and have a look."
The two siblings walked briskly to the Lin Ji Pharmacy across the street. As soon as they arrived at the door, they were greeted by the smell of Chinese medicine, Yun Xue couldn't help but sneeze, and then the two of them stepped into the pharmacy.
There was a guy standing in the middle of the pharmacy, and he looked okay and neat. "The two of you came to our pharmacy, are you going to grab medicine, or are you going to see a doctor?" The guy glanced at the two siblings' outfits, and asked a little unresignedly.
"This brother, we are not here to grab medicine, nor are we to see a doctor." Yun Zhen hurriedly said.
"If you don't take medicine or see a doctor, then what are you doing?" The man turned his head away from looking at them.
"This brother, we are here to sell medicinal materials, I don't know if you can accept medicinal materials?" Yun Zhen felt a little uncomfortable, but thinking that he still had to sell medicine, he couldn't help it.
"We are one of the few pharmacies in the state city, so naturally we have the rules for taking medicine. We do not accept ordinary medicinal materials here, only valuable medicinal materials. The guy looked back at Yun Zhen twice, "Just like you, what valuable medicinal materials can there be?" You'd better hurry up and go, don't grind around here. As he spoke, the guy raised his hand to pick up someone.
Yun Zhen frowned, endured his anger and said, "Brother, I have a few Ganoderma lucidum here, please take a look, can you collect it?" "It's important to sell the reishi.
As soon as the man heard that it was Ganoderma lucidum, he immediately came to his senses, "If it is Ganoderma lucidum?" Naturally, it is collected, but if it is not in good condition, we don't want it. In this case, take out your Lingzhi and let me see it, so that I can decide whether to accept it or not. ”
Yun Xue thought for a moment and took out a medium-sized one from the back basket. The cap of this strain is also the size of a bronze mirror, and it is generally not easy to encounter.
As soon as the man saw this Lingzhi, his eyes lit up, "Wait a minute, I'll go and call the shopkeeper, I can't be the master of this." With that, he ran quickly to the back hall.
Not long after, the guy brought a middle-aged man out, and the man saw the Ganoderma lucidum in Yun Xue's hand at a glance, and couldn't help laughing. "This little lady, can you show me the Lingzhi in your hand, and I can also identify the quality."
Yun Xue gave the lingzhi in her hand to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took it in his hand, watched it repeatedly, and finally asked, "Little lady, how much silver do you want to sell for this Ganoderma lucidum?" If the price was right, I stayed. ”
