He quickly picked enough wild vegetables. Mu Chenglin consciously picked up his basket, picked up the wild things, and returned home with Shen Yunxi.
Halfway there, Shen Yunxi saw a lot of wild fruit trees. On the way here, she was just enjoying the scenery and didn't pay much attention to them.
She picked one at random and took a bite.
A piece of white and tender pulp fell from her mouth. Oh my god, this is too sour!
At this time, she remembered a very simple snack, candied haws.
"Brother Mu, are there hawthorn trees here?" Shen Yunxi caught up with Mu Chenglin on her short legs and asked.
"Yes, but the food is so sour that no one can eat it!" Although he didn't know what Shen Yunxi was going to do, Mu Chenglin still answered truthfully.
"No, no, I just thought of a way to make money!"
"How to make money? That sour fruit?" Mu Chenglin was very doubtful!
"Yes! Don't look down on me, that sour fruit can make a very delicious snack!"
The method of making candied haws is simple, the ingredients are simple, and it is most loved by children.
It is most suitable for them now. They can make a little money with candied haws, and then use the small money to make big money.
"You can't make a fire, you don't know how much water to put in cooking, and you don't know how much salt to put in soup. How can you make food?" Mu Chenglin still didn't believe her.
Seeing that Mu Chenglin was not eating enough, Shen Yunxi said again, "How about we try to make a few first, and if they taste good, we can make them again?"
Mu Chenglin thought deeply for a moment. He was not a stickler for rules. He was not surprised that a sour fruit could become a way to make money. He just didn't believe that Shen Yunxi could figure it out.
But now that he has nothing, there's no harm in trying.
Mu Chenglin took her around a corner, and Shen Yunxi saw the endless hawthorn forest.
Because this stuff is so sour, no one eats it, so there are more and more of it!
In late summer, the hawthorn trees are full of fruits, but most of them are not yet ripe.
Shen Yunxi picked a few ripe fruits and then pulled Mu Chenglin away!
When he got home, Mu Chengjin was sweeping the floor. He swept slowly and did what he could.
Mother Mu was mending the clothes that Shen Yunxi had washed in the afternoon.
Seeing Mu Chenglin and Shen Yunxi return, Mu Mu and Mu Chengjin both greeted them.
"Save the rabbit and chicken to sell in town tomorrow, and eat the injured one tonight."
Mu Chenglin thought for a moment and then continued, "I'll make dinner today!"
It's rare to have chicken to eat, and I can't be fooled by Shen Yunxi anymore.
"Then what can I do?" Shen Yunxi asked.
"Pack away the wild vegetables and your poisonous mushrooms!"
Shen Yunxi was holding a basket and squatting aside to pick wild vegetables. When no one was paying attention to her, she opened the "Fall in Love with the Kitchen" app and memorized the recipes of mushroom chicken soup and candied haws.
Pick off the dead leaves of the wild vegetables, clean them, cut them into middle sections, wash the mushrooms, tear them into small pieces, and drain the wild vegetables and mushrooms separately in boiling water.
By the time she finished doing this, the delicious aroma of chicken soup was already wafting from the kitchen.
When Shen Yunxi saw that the chicken soup was almost ready, when he was about to put the mushrooms into the chicken soup, Mu Chenglin stopped him!
"The salted chicken soup for lunch is still there, try it with that!" If it's poisonous, then his chicken will be wasted!
"That one is too salty!"
"You know how salty it is, I thought you had no sense of taste!"
Shen Yunxi:......
She resignedly poured a little salty chicken soup, then added some more water, and poured the mushrooms into it.
Mu Chenglin skimmed some chicken fat, mixed some salty chicken soup, and stir-fried the fresh wild vegetables.
When it was time for dinner, Mu Chengjin cleaned up the yard bit by bit. Mu Mu and Mu Chenglin didn't feel bad about the whole process and allowed him to do whatever he wanted.
Mother Mu also mended all the clothes before it got dark.
Shen Yunxi arranged the food, including Mu Chenglin's steamed multigrain rice, pheasant soup, stir-fried young wild vegetables, and the mushroom soup she made.
Two chicken legs were given to his mother and brother by Mu Chenglin respectively.
Two chicken wings were given to himself and Shen Yunxi respectively.
Shen Yunxi felt warm in her heart. Although Mu Chenglin always said that he would send him back to the Shen family, in the Shen family, no one ever picked up food for the original owner, and the food was always leftovers picked by others. .
Of the three dishes on the table, no one ate the mushrooms. They were probably all waiting for her to test the poison!
Shen Yunxi smelled it. The fresh aroma of mushrooms and a little bit of chicken soup made people salivate. She took out a spoon and was about to take her first sip of soup!
"Wait!" Mother Mu immediately stopped her, and Mu Chenglin and Mu Chengjin also looked at her.
"Ahem!" Mu Chenglin coughed twice, "I'm kidding you, the fungus is poisonous, don't eat it!"
Although Mu Chenglin didn't like seeing Shen Yunxi very much, he wasn't willing to watch her being poisoned by fungi.
"Mom, brother, this fungus is really not poisonous and very delicious!" After saying that, Shen Yunxi drank the mushroom soup directly.
Everyone looked at her nervously. She closed her eyes and had a satisfied look on her face.
Mu Chengjin and Mu Mu looked at each other, still a little unbelievable.
Mu Chenglin understood that Shen Yunxi really knew that the fungus was not poisonous.
She worked so hard to stay and didn't want to go back to the Shen family, which shows that she cherishes her own life very much, so why would she risk her life for a bite to eat?
Chen Yunxi picked up another piece of mushroom, and it tasted delicious.
Mu Chenglin also followed and tasted a piece of mushroom, which was indeed as fragrant and tender as the legend.
So Mu Chenglin took out two more bowls and filled one bowl each for his mother and brother.
Mother Mu ate very elegantly, "Yun Xi, how do you know this mushroom is not poisonous?"
Shen Yunxi has already thought about how to explain it. Everything she takes out in the future will be very strange, and the original owner's mother is a mysterious figure. Anyway, she died long ago, so there is no way to verify it.
"These were all taught to me by my mother when she was still alive!" Shen Yunxi said, with a nostalgic expression on her face.
Mu's mother thought she reminded Shen Yunxi of something sad, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Mu Chengjin glanced at his sister-in-law and lowered his head to eat, but Mu Chenglin felt a little unbelievable.
Everything left by Shen Yunxi's mother was taken away by the Shen family. Besides, when her mother passed away, she was still young, so how could she remember so many things?
She can identify fungi, and she can use sour fruits to make food, but no matter what, as long as she doesn't eat for free.
After eating, Shen Yunxi planned to make candied haws.
She took out the hawthorn and prepared to remove the seeds and clean it.
Mu Mu saw it and said, "Yunxi, this fruit is very sour. After a while, there will be many fruits on the mountain that will be ripe. Then I will ask A Lin to pick them for you. If you eat too much of this sour fruit, it will hurt your teeth."
"Mom, this is not how you eat hawthorn. I want to use it for other foods."
"Use it to make food?" Mother Mu was surprised. She looked up at her son and saw that he nodded, so she didn't ask any more questions.
But Shen Yunxi has always taken this into consideration. From Mu's mother's different temperament, Mu Chengjin did not go to private school, but could always read at home, etc., Shen Yunxi could feel that this family was not simple.
She proposed using sour fruits to make food, but Mu Chenglin and Mu Mu simply asked and did not stop her. This kind of vision is not something ordinary farmers can have.
In the memory of the original owner, they only came to Qingmu Village a year ago. As for where they came from, no one knew.
As long as they have no ill intentions towards you, the secret of the app must be kept, and some things should not be taken out casually.
"Brother Mu, I need some sugar."
Mu Chenglin nodded, turned around and went to look for sugar. Sugar in this dynasty was very expensive, costing sixty cents per kilogram.
Mu Chenglin directly moved the sugar bowl out, "The sugar is here, but use it sparingly!"
"Brother Mu, can you light a fire for me? Just a small fire will do!"
Shen Yunxi tried to remove the seeds, but failed for a long time. Since it was a taste test anyway, he did not remove the seeds.
Shen Yunxi took a little bit of sugar and added a little bit of water. The sugar melted little by little under low heat, and the sweet smell of sugar filled the whole kitchen.
Mu Mu and Mu Chengjin stood aside and watched curiously.
