Early the next morning, Li Xiaofan, who was asleep in a daze, was suddenly awakened by the sound of a broken plate.
I thought something was wrong with my parents, but when I opened my eyes, I saw that the mushrooms planted on the plate had grown and burst the plate.
After waiting for a while and seeing that the mushrooms did not continue to grow, he found the instruments he brought from the medical school and began to test the mushrooms that had absorbed the spiritual spring water to see if they had deteriorated and whether they contained some expanding agents or the like that were harmful to the body.
Harmful ingredients.
He first poked a needle hole into the mushroom, then extracted the components from the mushroom and put them in the test box.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes.
He focused his eyes on the changes in the grid on the detection box. If the white grid changed color, it meant there were harmful substances in the mushroom ingredients.
I watched the time on my phone go by minute by minute, and it was the last ten seconds of an hour.
His heartbeat began to accelerate. As long as the test took an hour and the color of the grid on the test box did not change, it meant that there were no harmful substances in the mushroom ingredients.
When the last second passed, Li Xiaofan's excited eyes were wet and his lips trembled: "There are no harmful ingredients. The ingredients of the mushrooms are all healthy and meet the standards. The spiritual spring water can be used."
Knowing that the Lingquan water was available, Li Xiaofan was very happy and went out without stopping to implement his next plan.
Mushrooms are wild, so he decided to go to his vegetable field, find home-grown vegetables and try Lingquan water.
Ten minutes later, he ran to his vegetable patch.
Due to my parents' accident, the vegetable field was not managed and it was overgrown with weeds.
I saw an old radish that had bloomed among the weeds. When I got closer and used my hands to remove the weeds, I realized that in the vegetable field in front of me, except for the old radishes, there were no other vegetables.
A radish is a radish!
Li Xiaofan was unwilling and unable to give up any hope, even if it was a one in ten thousand chance, he would give it a try.
At this time, he dug out a radish from the ground and ran home.
When the villagers saw him holding an old hollow radish, they all said behind his back that he didn't know how to farm and that hollow radishes couldn't be eaten at all.
Li Xiaofan didn't argue with them and returned home with the carrots.
After arriving at home, he found a wooden bucket for watering vegetables. The roots and size of radish needed a deeper wooden bucket to plant them.
After working for a while, I finally planted the radishes.
After planting the radishes, he took a bowl and brought half a bowl of water, and dipped the peace jade in water as he did last time on the mountain.
Just after the peace jade was stained with water, a magical scene happened.
A drop of green spiritual spring flows from the peace jade.
The spiritual spring dripped directly onto the planted radish.
At the moment when the radish absorbed the spiritual spring, the radish flowers that were still blooming just now magically withered and became smaller and no longer existed at all, while the yellowed radish leaves suddenly turned green like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
Seeing this scene, Li Xiaofan was very excited and would know the result tomorrow morning.
After Li Xiaofan finished getting the radishes, he went to the yard, helped his father carry them outside to get some fresh air, and held his mother's hand and walked in the yard for a while.
Just like that, the day passed.
At night, Li Xiaofan stayed in front of the radishes he had planted. He saw that the radishes were growing bigger and the leaves were greener than before, and he was full of expectations.
Finally, the next morning, when he saw that the radish had no longer grown, he began to take out the same testing equipment as he did with the mushrooms last time to detect whether there were any harmful substances.
After the test, he saw that the radish was in good health, and the two haggard faces who had not slept all night showed a long-lost smile.
He took the radish out of the barrel and took it directly to the stove to cook for his parents. Today he will use the radish to make soup for his parents.
He came back for two days. Because he had no money, the meals he cooked for his parents didn't include soup. Every day they only had dried soybeans left at home.
After a while, Li Xiaofan cooked the radish and came to the main room with a large bowl of steaming radish slices.
After arriving at the house, he served rice and soup to his parents.
"Xiaofan, you haven't paid your salary yet, don't waste money buying meat for me and your dad to eat, just eat the dried soybeans at home."
Li Xiaofan looked surprised when his mother, who had drank the soup, mentioned buying meat: "Mom, I haven't been to the county town since I came back? I haven't been there to buy meat."
"Didn't you buy meat?" After taking a sip of the soup, the mother brought the soup to her nose and smelled it: "But the soup obviously smells like meat?"
When Li Xiaofan heard his mother say that the radish soup had a meaty aroma, he couldn't wait to take a sip.
It really has a meaty flavor, which seems to be more special than the meaty flavor. There is a hint of sweetness in the fragrance, and it is oily but not greasy.
It tastes better than the soup I had at the national chain store outside of medical school.
At this time, my father also took a sip and looked at the radish cubes in the bowl with a surprised look on his face: "Not to mention, the taste of this soup is really different."
"Dad, Mom, this is carrot soup. I added some ingredients brought from the city."
Li Xiaofan looked delighted. Lingquan's improved radish not only had no harmful ingredients to the body, but also made the taste of radish so unique. Facing his parents who were as surprised as himself, he did not tell them about the Fairy Temple and the Fairy Temple.
The matter with Lingquan is just about the ingredients brought from the city.
"Dad, Mom, if you like it, eat more. I'll dig some radishes in the field and make soup in the afternoon."
Li Xiaofan learned that the radish improved by Lingquan could taste so good when cooked in clear soup, so he decided to go to the city early tomorrow morning to sell radishes to make money.
Now that I am penniless, I want to take my parents to the county to see a doctor, but they cannot go.
What he wants most now is to make money and cure his parents' injuries. He doesn't think about anything else.
During this meal, my parents increased their portions. Each of them ate two bowls of rice and two large bowls of radish soup, and not a single bit was left.
When Li Xiaofan saw that his parents were well fed, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
After putting away the dishes and chopsticks, Li Xiaofan didn't waste any time and went directly to the vegetable field with the hoe and hatchet.
It takes a day for Lingquan water to improve the radish. He has to go to the field to improve it, otherwise it will delay his trip to the city to sell radishes tomorrow.
When he got to the vegetable field, he took the water he brought and poured it on the peace jade. He took out the spiritual spring from the peace jade and sprinkled it on the old radish that had bloomed.
The radishes I improved yesterday weigh about five kilograms. I can probably carry about a hundred kilograms, so I will improve twenty of them!
Twenty weighs only 100 pounds, which is a bit small.
You can get two picks, and I will take turns picking them when the time comes.
After making up his mind, Li Xiaofan improved forty radishes.
Seeing the old blooming radishes in front of him turning green after being improved by the spiritual spring water, and seeing the mounds of soil next to the radish roots swelling, Li Xiaofan was full of expectations for going to the city to sell radishes tomorrow.
Tomorrow I can make money by selling radishes. My mother mentioned the meaty taste in the soup today. They must not have eaten meat for a long time. If I sell the radishes tomorrow, I will buy some meat and cook it for my parents.
Time passed quickly. When it was dawn the next day, Li Xiaofan carried two loads of bamboo baskets and hoes to the vegetable field to pull radishes.
It was still dark when he finished pulling forty radishes and put them all in bamboo baskets.
At this time, he picked up a load and put it on his shoulders. When he had just taken two or three steps, he was suddenly surprised.
It was a bit difficult for him to carry this weight of about one hundred kilograms on his shoulders before.
This time, not only did I not feel strenuous, but I also felt as relaxed as if I didn’t pick anything.
