Chapter 750 Shennong’s Spirit of Tasting Hundreds of Herbs
Author: Fallen Leaves in the Autumn Wind
When the group arrived home, Baiyunxi asked Wenyou to take out the sugar water hanging in the well, entertain the guests, and then fetch water to wash the mushrooms and prepare a mushroom feast.
It wasn't until Zhang Yiren watched Bai Yunxi pour the mushrooms on the mat to sort them, that he looked at her dumbly.
Although she had eaten a lot of fungi, they all looked like they had been dried and soaked in the sun. This was the first time she had seen something fresh like this that had just been picked.
"The color looks weird."
Especially the green one, it’s such a weird color, I always feel wrong if I eat it.
Listening to Zhang Yiren's thoughts, Bai Yunxi smiled and introduced to her,
"Sister Yiren, although the color of this mushroom is weird, it is a rare delicious thing. This is called a green-headed mushroom. It can be eaten raw after cleaning. It is very delicious. This red-headed mushroom and porcini are more delicious when stewed with meat.
The meat is delicious.”
Zhang Yiren: "..."
Although it was exciting to hear it, it was still scary.
Baiyunxi was divided into categories, and Wenyou also drew water. Baiyunxi moved a small bench, scrubbed them one by one, and hung them next to dry to remove the moisture.
“The alley where I rent is pretty good. It’s very convenient for buying vegetables. Every evening, the households in the alley bring their own vegetables, chickens, and eggs to the entrance of the alley to sell them.
After buying a few times, I became familiar with them..."
Every now and then, someone would come to her door and ask her if she wanted eggs, old hens, etc.
She didn't have to go out to buy groceries, and there was nothing missing in the kitchen.
While Bai Yunxi was working, she was chatting with Zhang Yiren. Although it was trivial household matters, it was suitable for chatting.
"Pfft~, hearing you say that, I can imagine the harmonious scene."
Zhang Yiren covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled brightly. This person has a cheerful personality and speaks and does things cheerfully. No matter who he talks with, he makes people feel comfortable.
In her heart, it seems that everyone is the same, and there is no distinction between high and low. With such a mentality, she thinks she cannot do it, but she likes to talk to such people, because when she is with her, there is no psychology
burden.
After working for more than half an hour, a pot of fragrant mushroom feast was served on the table.
"Old hen mushroom soup, fried red-headed mushrooms, sliced porcini mushrooms, green-headed mushrooms stuffed with meat..."
Baiyunxi took off her apron and introduced Zhang Yiren one by one.
"Eat with confidence, these mushrooms are what we often eat. Every spring after the rain, we always go to the back mountain to pick some and bring them back. If we can't finish them, we dry them in the sun and store them. They have been there for many years."
After all, Baiyunxi tasted every dish to show that it was not poisonous.
Zhang Yiren watched her take the lead in testing the poison and couldn't help but curl up her lips. This person is really interesting.
"Seeing you like this, I can't help but think that Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs like this. I'm not afraid, but I've never seen so many strange fungi, and I'm very curious. Ever since you started cooking, the fragrance has filled the whole place.
In the yard, several children are lying at the door looking in. For this delicious food, even if it is poisonous, I still have to take a bite."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the yard was amused. They all took their chopsticks to try, this one was stuffed with green-headed mushrooms, and that one was fried with red-headed mushrooms. As soon as they entered the mouth, they were overflowing with fragrance, smooth and delicious. With a few chopsticks,
Several people couldn't bear it anymore.
Seeing that the juniors were enjoying their meal, Bai Yunxi quickly filled a bowl with mushroom and chicken soup and placed it in front of Zhang Yiren.
"Try this again. The mushroom soup simmered with old hen soup is not only fresh and tender, but also nourishing."
When the soup came out of the pot, she deliberately sprinkled a few wolfberry berries on it. The bright yellow soup accompanied by the red wolfberry berries was so beautiful.
After the meal, everyone was satisfied, stroking their stomachs and saying they were feeling full.
"I really ate a lot today. Fortunately, I am here at Yunxi. If I had gone anywhere else, I might have made a fool of myself."
Zhang Yiren wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and joked directly to himself.
I can't control myself when I see something delicious, and I will never be called greedy.
After eating and drinking, before leaving, Baiyunxi brought the remaining mushrooms to Zhang Yiren and asked her to take them home for the dean to taste.
In the following days, Baiyunxi did not run out, but stayed quietly in the yard to clean up the housework with Wenyou, and then enjoyed the cool air in the yard, sewing and mending.
Just like she told Zhang Yiren, after getting acquainted with the neighbors in the alley, she didn't even have to go out to buy groceries. Someone came to ask questions, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Especially eggs, her family consumes the most. Everyone in the alley also knows that her family loves to eat them. Every time they save eight or ten eggs, they come to her first and ask her before selling them on the street.
Occasionally, we stew chicken and make soup at home, and the smell attracts all the children from the neighbor’s house next door.
In addition, she has also been paying attention to Xie Yu's activities.
Although her relationship with the Xie family was far from harmonious, she still liked that boy Xie Yu. In order to avoid some trouble, Bai Yunxi had to ask Wenyou to go there every now and then, and occasionally bring some Du's cooking.
Night snack.
Except for the people in Xie Yu's courtyard, everyone else knew nothing about Wen You's visit to Xie's house at night.
The man had been quietly recuperating in his house, and the people waiting close by were the two young men brought by Shopkeeper Jiang.
As for the people in Xie's house, anyone who went to visit them was turned away by him.
For this reason, Mrs. Ma caught Magistrate Xie and filed a complaint fiercely, crying that her stepmother was so aggrieved that she could not even enter her stepson's yard, let alone other things. If this spread, she would not be punished.
People are laughing their heads off.
He is clearly an elder and cannot be respected by the younger generation. He is also being guarded in every possible way. If anyone finds out, his face will be completely lost.
Seeing that Magistrate Xie remained silent and showed no sign of displeasure, Ma let out a sob and muttered dissatisfiedly, saying that it was different even though he was separated by a layer of belly, and he didn't appreciate the care of others.
Strangely enough, Magistrate Xie, who was usually very obedient to her step-brother, did not follow her wishes this time to trouble her eldest son. Instead, she said in a nonchalant manner, Brother Yu has someone to take care of him, and he doesn’t want to give it to you.
If he is causing trouble, he needs to calm down to recover, so don't bother him.
As soon as Magistrate Xie said these words, Ma was stunned and looked at him with tears in her eyes. There was disbelief in her eyes. The man who was sleeping with her in front of her also began to distrust her.
In all these years of getting married, this was the first time that he didn't stand on her side. For some reason, Ma's eyes flashed with panic, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and started to cry.
After a while, she stopped crying, stared at him longingly, and asked with sobs, "She has carefully managed this family over the years, and never had a moment's rest for fear of something going wrong."
After more than ten years of hard work and hard work, in the end, I feel like I am no longer a human being?
