Chapter 11
After selling three handfuls of mushrooms, Wei Mingrang did not go home directly. He went to the vegetable market to buy a chicken and asked the boss to slaughter it. Then he bought two bottles of soy sauce and vinegar before going home.
Other sesame oils, oyster sauce, and sesame oil will appear very different in rural areas in 2005. Especially since their family is not in good condition, don’t let some sarcastic words come from relatives and neighbors when they see it.
After renovating or buying a new house in the future, and renovating it carefully, you will improve your quality of life so that it will not appear so abrupt.
I didn't buy pork either.
Now there is no refrigerator at home, so today I have to make three handfuls of mushroom and chicken soup to eat, but I can’t buy the meat anymore. There is no place to refrigerate it when I buy it, but it will change the flavor.
When he got home, Wei Ming asked to boil water on the stove and blanch the chicken for a while, then pour out the dirty water mixed with the blisters and crumbs, wash the pot, add water again, add ginger slices to start boiling chicken soup over low heat.
When it is almost 11 o'clock, put three handfuls of mushrooms washed and tear into small pieces, add some salt to boil them together.
In addition to salt and ginger, as well as the chopped green onion when finally put on the pot, you can’t add any other seasonings to the chicken soup with three handfuls of mushrooms.
If you put too much seasoning, such as MSG, it will destroy the taste of the three mushrooms itself.
As three handfuls of mushrooms were put into the pot and boiled, a faint fragrance began to slowly radiate from the house.
The longer the time, the more intense the smell of the three mushrooms mixed with chicken soup, which made Wei Mingrang drool.
After more than an hour, at 11:30, three handfuls of mushroom and chicken soup were almost done.
As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, a strong smell of chicken soup and mushrooms came over, causing Wei Mingrang to suck a few hard sips.
I served half a bowl in a small bowl and slapped it while tentatively drinking.
As soon as the soup was in the mouth, although it was very hot, the strong and fresh fragrance immediately conquered Wei Mingrang's taste buds, and salt was also suitable.
I couldn't wait to blow and drink half a bowl of chicken soup. After enjoying it with my eyes closed for a few seconds, I guess my mother and two sisters were going to come back. Wei Mingrang was no longer greedy and served the chicken soup in a bowl.
The chicken soup made from a whole chicken is still very large, and the only two soup bowls at home cannot be filled. Finally, I used a large bowl that I usually eat noodles to fill two bowls, and then sprinkled some of my own green onions on it.
Then Wei Ming asked to wash the pot, stir-fry a vegetable, make a bowl of chili dip it in water, and wait for his mother and sisters to come back to have dinner.
As for the rice, they were cooked in an electric rice cooker when they left home in the morning.
Although it took a little longer, there was nothing we could do. If you wait until the tea is picked at noon and come back to cook, you will probably be hungry when the rice is cooked.
Before going out in the morning, cook the rice in an electric rice cooker, and cook with firewood stoves quickly when you come back at noon. You can eat as soon as possible to fill your stomach.
However, burning firewood also has a disadvantage, which is that it is dusty and requires chopping wood.
Although it doesn't cost money, it takes time and is very tiring to cut, pick up, tie up, and carry it back in the woods.
I didn’t have the same fortune as today in my previous life, and I was not fast in picking tea, and I could only barely meet my living expenses for the first semester.
Now that we have the fortune today, the tea picking speed is much faster than in the previous life.
After Wei Mingrang came back from Hunan, he bought an induction cooker for his mother before going to college. He usually cooked with an induction cooker.
Only when guests come and need to stir-fry a lot of dishes on high heat, or when power is out, they only cook firewood and stoves and stir-fry in a large pot.
...
Although I was curious about how many three mushrooms my brother picked up and how much it cost to sell them, whether he had left some at home for them to taste.
But under Hu Mengxian's supervision, the mother and daughter still picked tea until 11:30, filled the tea bags, and then went to the tea factory to make tea and go home.
Wei Mingrang's home is right next to National Highway 326, so the transportation is quite convenient.
When they walked to the yard, before they entered the door, the three of them smelled an unusual scent.
There is the umami flavor of chicken soup, but it has a stronger aroma than the chicken soup they have eaten before, and has other flavors that are more fragrant.
Could it be that my elder brother used three handfuls of mushrooms to make chicken soup?
Wei Mingjiao and Wei Mingfei screamed strangely, and before Hu Mengxian, he pushed open the kitchen door and rushed in.
I didn't see my brother, but only saw two bowls of chicken soup covered with gauze on the dining table and a bowl of vegetables.
The two sisters threw the tea bag, straw hat and plastic film on the ground, then put it together and sniffed it hard, and praised it at the same time: "It smells so good!"
At this time, Wei Mingrang came out of the study and Hu Mengxian walked in from outside.
Seeing the elder brother, the two sisters' eyes suddenly shone and rushed over, each of them holding Wei Ming and asked in a chattering manner.
"Brother, where did you pick up three mushrooms?"
"How much did you pick up? How much did you sell?"
"Can you take us there next time?"
Wei Mingrang did not answer them, but called out mom.
Hu Mengxian responded, then stared at the sisters Jiaojiao and Mingfei with a calm face.
The two sisters then found that their mother had come in. They quickly tucked their necks and picked up the tea bag, straw hat, plastic film on the ground, put it where they should be placed, then changed their shoes, fed water to wash their faces.
After the mother and the three of them were finished packing, Wei Mingrang also packed the soup, and the whole family sat down around the dining table, and each person started drinking the soup with a small bowl.
At this time, the soup had become warm and not hot. After taking a sip, the three mothers and three men sighed at the deliciousness of these three mushrooms and chicken soups. They said in a row that three mushrooms were well-known and tasted extraordinary.
Then, he naturally asked about Wei Mingrang picking up three mushrooms and selling three mushrooms.
Of course, Wei Mingrang could not tell the truth, he could only make up stories.
Wei Mingrang said that he first went to the pine forest in Guojiawan for a while, then found the first cluster of three mushrooms in the bush forest, and finally found the valley from Huo Datong's family.
And after he talked about what happened to Huo Datong later, the three of them felt that Wei Ming was so lucky.
Just miss it for a while and wait until Huo Dacheng goes to weed and see three mushrooms, it is time for Huo Dacheng to give it money.
Then when it comes to Song Chengbi, Hu Mengxian also looked unhappy.
However, she still warned Wei Ming to let the three siblings, that Song Chengbi is an elder after all, so she would usually be more respectful.
She naturally didn't know that in another time and space, the two families would develop to the point where they fought and their husbands were detained for 15 days.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so generous.
Wei Mingrang naturally couldn't say this, so he could only agree according to his mother's words.
Finally, we talked about Wei Ming's attempt to sell three mushrooms for 40 yuan per skewers and 13 skewers for 520 yuan. The three of us were amazed again.
Hu Mengxian sighed: "I heard that last year it was only five or six yuan per flower, and 30 yuan per bun, which has increased again this year!"
Wei Mingrang smiled and said, "Now everyone's living standards are getting higher and higher, and there are more and more rich people. These delicacies will naturally become more valuable. The three mushrooms will definitely be more expensive in the future."
Hu Mengxian said: "Yes! But this thing depends too much on luck. Don't go to search all day long if you get the sweetness, delaying tea picking."
Wei Mingrang nodded and said, "Of course not. I just saw Uncle Zhong picking up some three mushrooms today. I also want to try my luck. I won't go there anymore."
In addition to Aunt Huo, although other people in the village have picked up three mushrooms, either this year or Wei Mingrang didn’t know the specific location and couldn’t pick up any more bargains.
It’s already good to be able to pick up more than 500 yuan for free, and to let your mother and sister taste three mushroom chicken soup.
