After taking out thirteen taels from her pocket, Yun Xiaoshuang looked at Aunt Mei: "I wonder if you can help me embroider some other patterns for this handkerchief?"

"I wonder what pattern Miss Xiaoshuang is talking about?" Aunt Mei twirled the handkerchief in front of her mouth and said with a smile: "I'm not boasting, but no one from all over the country is better at embroidery than me."

Yun Xiaoshuang nodded slightly, "Do you have a pen and inkstone?"

She took the pen and paper that Aunt Mei had found, and within a moment, she drew a Pikachu and gave detailed instructions: "Use white background silk, yellow embroidery for this animal, red for the mouth and cheeks, and

Use black here..."

Aunt Mei took one look and said in surprise: "What kind of animal is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

Yun Xiaoshuang would not say that this was a memory she brought from the distant future and just fabricate it casually.

"I saw it in a dream. I thought it was cute so I remembered it. I was afraid that I would forget it in the future, so I thought of drawing it and embroidering it on silk."

Aunt Mei didn't ask any more questions and nodded with a smile: "It's really cute. It's not difficult. I can embroider it for you tomorrow. When you tell me the size of the clothes, I can give them to you."

"Great." Yun Xiaoshuang smiled and narrowed her eyes: "I also dreamed of a lot of strange things. Please help me embroider them when the time comes. Of course, these are not paid according to the standard."

Aunt Mei quickly waved her hand: "You have bought so many pieces of cloth today and have patronized my business. This is really worthless, so just take it."

Yun Xiaoshuang couldn't resist, so she had to agree temporarily.

After coming out of Cloth Village and wandering on the street for a while, the two of them bought some daily necessities and then left the town and went straight home.

"Mom, guess what, my sister-in-law will give it to you..."

As soon as they got home, Zhao Hong couldn't wait to rush into the house and wanted to tell her about the new clothes her sister-in-law had bought for them, but she was stopped by Yun Xiaoshuang.

"Xiaohong, don't tell them yet."

"Why?" Zhao Hong was puzzled, frowning with confusion on his face.

"This is called a surprise." Yun Xiaoshuang poked Zhao Hong's forehead: "What you said is meaningless."

"What is a surprise?"

"It's an unexpected joy." Looking at Zhao Hong's still confused look, she explained with a smile: "For example, if you receive something you want, it would be better to have it ready for you in advance.

Wouldn’t it be more fun to prepare it and give it to you suddenly?

"In this way." Zhao Hong nodded thoughtfully.

Yun Xiaoshuang looked at the mountains in the distance and lightly bumped Zhao Hong's shoulder: "Would you like to come with me again?"

"Huh?" Zhao Hong looked at her with a confused face. Wasn't he already finished? Why did he still go out?

"Go into the mountain!" Yun Xiaoshuang pointed to the distance, then regardless of what happened, he grabbed her with one hand, picked up two bamboo baskets with the other hand, and ran out.

Zhao Hong thought that Yun Xiaoshuang was coming to continue picking mushrooms, so she did not refuse and marched towards the mountain with the bamboo basket in her arms: "Sister-in-law, since that shopkeeper Song is willing to take as many as possible, why don't we pick more?"

"Having said that, how long can the fungi here be provided?" Yun Xiaoshuang pointed: "Also, when the villagers see it, they will definitely want to take the opportunity to make a fortune. This is not our own.

How can the planting land be endless and inexhaustible?"

Speaking of this, Yun Xiaoshuang paused.

Planting?

That's a good idea!

She gently held her chin and laughed: "Xiaohong, I really love you to death!"

"What?" Zhao Hong's face turned red. Her parents didn't say whether she loved her or not...

"Be careful when you dig up the fungus later. Uproot it like this and don't let go of it." Yun Xiaoshuang had no consciousness of teasing the ancients and focused on digging up the soil with the hoe she brought.

You can see the roots at a depth of about ten centimeters, and then pick them out, leaving the mud on them: "We will go home and plant them ourselves!"

"Can this survive?" Zhao Hong looked at the handful of mushroom whiskers with disgust and frowned in doubt.

"Of course, mycelium is a single-celled fungus. Mycelium has the function of asexual reproduction and can be used for inoculation and expansion. The roots you are holding have mycelium hidden inside. Then we will find a

If planted in a cool and humid place, the same fungi will grow in a few days, and then we won’t need to go into the mountains to pick them every day.”

Yun Xiaoshuang patted her head. She didn't think of this at first. Her herbs were really white.

"Sister-in-law, this is what the nun on the mountain taught you, right?" Zhao Hong looked at Yun Xiaoshuang with envy.

Yun Xiaoshuang was slightly startled and nodded quickly: "Yes, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's pick a few out quickly, and then I'll see if there are any other edible plants in this mountain."

Although she studied medicine, she had cultivated medicinal fields and had good cooking skills because she lived alone, so she still had some accomplishments in this area.

Thinking about it, Yun Xiaoshuang couldn't help but admire, as the old saying goes, if you rely on the mountain, you will eat the mountain, if you rely on the water, you will eat the water. There are treasures in this mountain.

There is a bamboo forest to the west of the fungus. It is still early. When winter comes, those bamboo shoots will appear. When fried with pickles, it is simply delicious. After the winter bamboo shoots, there will be a wave of spring bamboo shoots. It is perfect. She can't help but swallow when she thinks of this.

He took two sips of saliva and asked: "Xiaohong, do you eat bamboo shoots?"

"What?" Zhao Hong raised her head, watched Yun Xiaoshuang staring at the bamboo forest in the distance, and waved her hand: "I have eaten it before, but it was really astringent and unpalatable, and the more it became

The more you eat, the hungrier you get, but no one in the village eats this."

Yun Xiaoshuang almost didn't laugh when she heard this. The bamboo shoots were already sour, and it looked like they hadn't used other ingredients to remove the astringency. As for the more they ate, the hungrier they became. These bamboo shoots were oily, so how could they be full?

"We'll chop down two bamboos later and let you try bamboo tube rice!" Yun Xiaoshuang said and walked towards the bamboo forest.

Zhao Hong was afraid that she would get lost or be in danger, so he followed closely behind her: "What is bamboo tube rice? Our Yungou Village is famous for its weaving work. All these bamboos are cut down to make bamboo baskets. My father also

Yes, a bamboo basket costs fifteen cents and can be used for several years without breaking."

Yun Xiaoshuang's eyes suddenly lit up, but she quickly suppressed the joy in her heart and continued: "Then chop two more branches later, and I will show you my skills."

“Is bamboo still edible?”

Zhao Hong was even more surprised, seeing that Yun Xiaoshuang couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. If she hadn't seen her ability, she would really have thought that the woman in front of her was either stupid or crazy.

"Ah!" Zhao Hong almost jumped up.

"What's wrong?" Yun Xiaoshuang saw that Zhao Hong's whole body was almost hanging on her body. She looked around and didn't find anything different.

"Look, Xuan Frog, I heard that it wants to eat people, let's leave this place quickly!" After Zhao Hong got off Yun Xiaoshuang, her whole face was pale and she lowered her voice: "We don't want to make any noise.

Sound, maybe it will follow us home."

Yun Xiaoshuang's eyes focused on the frog that Zhao Hong was talking about, and her eyes brightened: "Frog!"

Yun Xiaoshuang chased the frog, but was stopped by Zhao Hong: "Sister-in-law, let's go quickly. I heard it's poisonous. Let's get out of here quickly."

"It's okay." Yun Xiaoshuang shook off Zhao Hong's hand: "You go to the fungus first and wait for me. I'll be back soon."

Zhao Hong gritted his teeth and watched Yun Xiaoshuang running after a noisy frog. His whole face was almost stiff, and he stood there in a dilemma.

After a while, Yun Xiaoshuang came over with her hands full of mud, holding Xuan Frog. She took two steps back in fear: "Sister-in-law, what are you going to do?"

"This is edible!" Yun Xiaoshuang showed a smile. She was worried about what new dishes to order, but now it takes no effort at all.

"ah?"

Zhao Hong was so frightened that she turned pale and stared at Yun Xiaoshuang in disbelief: "Sister-in-law, this is poisonous."

"Master, you've eaten all the shrimps, are you still afraid of this? I'll cook you a dry-pot frog later, and I'll make sure you eat it again!"

Yun Xiaoshuang put the frogs into the bamboo basket and covered it with a small wooden board: "Have you almost collected the mushrooms?"

"Yeah." Zhao Hong watched Yun Xiaoshuang patting the mud on her hands, and then picked a few leaves from the tree on one side, with confusion on her face: "What are you picking leaves for?"

"This is called laurel, and the dried leaves are also called bay leaves. They are very good for making condiments. Because we don't have enough time, we won't pick a lot for the time being. When we have time next time, we will pick them again and sell them." Yun

Xiaoshuang explained.

After returning home, Yun Xiaoshuang took out a dull knife and dissected the frog directly. The sharp technique made Zhao Hong shudder several times.

In the kitchen, Yun Xiaoshuang cut a few pieces of ginger and some shredded green onions, and put them into the frog to marinate.

Put some of the prepared vegetables into the oil and fry them once, then put the marinated frogs into the pot and fry them once. After taking them out, add the prepared bay leaves, star anise, garlic, and the hard-found chili peppers.

Wait for the seasonings to stir-fry until fragrant, then add the frogs and vegetables and stir-fry together. Within a short time, a plate of spicy frogs is ready.

Then, cut the washed bamboo tube into small pieces, cut a small square hole in it, put the washed rice in, stuff it with a piece of bacon, put it in the pot and steam it for an hour, and the bamboo tube rice is ready.

Zhao Hong followed the aroma and came over. Looking at the plate of frogs that were already fragrant, he was still a little scared and worried. He couldn't help but ask: "Is it really edible?"

Aunt Zhao pushed Zhao Mocheng out of the house. Seeing her like this, she felt a little strange, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Hong explained the cause and effect, then swallowed his saliva and stared at the frog.

"It's really not poisonous. I promise. If you don't believe it, just look at it." Yun Xiaoshuang picked up a piece and ate it: "Try it. Not only is it not poisonous, but it is also delicious."

Saying that, Yun Xiaoshuang opened the bamboo tube again, and the fragrance of bamboo came to her nostrils: "This is the bamboo tube rice I specially prepared. I put a few slices of bacon in it. It will be delicious."

This Zhao Hong dared to eat, so he picked up a bite with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. His pupils suddenly dilated: "This is so fragrant, fresh and a little sweet. Sister-in-law, you are simply a genius!"

"No, try this frog, I promise it will taste better!" Yun Xiaoshuang directly picked up a piece of leg meat and stuffed it into her mouth.

Zhao Hong's eyes widened for a moment, and he could neither swallow nor vomit.
