Yang Yuanzu explained his purpose, and upon hearing this, Zhu Dashan took out his treasured inventory.

He picked these things from the mountains, including mushrooms, white fungus, bamboo fungus, Hericium... and other fungi. In addition to these, there are also chestnuts.

Mushrooms can be made into soup, and chestnuts can be stir-fried with sugar.

These things are common in modern times, but in ancient times they were rare and expensive foods.

Yang Yuanzu was an old acquaintance, not to mention that his third brother, daughter-in-law and sister-in-law worked for each other. Zhu Dashan didn't ask for too much money and sold it to Yang Yuanzu at a lower price than the market price.

Even so, Yang Yuanzu spent more than sixty taels of silver.

If you put these things on the market, they are worth eighty or ninety taels.

Master Zhu, who was watching the excitement, heard this and said, "Brother, didn't you get a bird's nest a few days ago? I heard that it is a rare thing that only the nobles in the palace can afford."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Yuanzu looked at Zhu Dashan expectantly.

Zhu Dashan:......

That was the stuff he kept at the bottom of the box, and he planned to sell it at a high price, this little brother with his elbows turned outward.

Zhu Dashan stood up silently and went into the house to take out his collection.

Opening the wooden box, there were a dozen bird's nests wrapped in clean floral cloth.

This floral cloth looked familiar to Yang Yuanzu, and he recalled that the cloth that was used to wrap the roster yesterday seemed to be this one. It seemed that everyone in his village liked this peach-colored cloth.

The bird's nests were cleaned very clean. Yang Yuanzu saw Zhu Dashan's reluctance and gave a high price. He paid a hundred and fifty taels for a total of thirteen pieces.

Zhu Dashan was moved. Since Yang Yuanzu gave a sincere price, he didn't mince words and said: "Deal!"

Yang Yuanzu put away the things on the table and said, "I don't have that much money with me. I'll give it to you later." After that, he hugged the things and left.

After Yang Yuanzu left, Master Zhu said with a smile on his face: "Second brother, you can also take me to the mountains to have a look someday!"

Zhu Dashan looked disgusted: "Go, go, you can kill a pig, but if you go to the mountains, your life will be too long!" The younger brother can earn nine taels of silver per month by killing pigs for the Yang family, which is considered worthy in the entire Fengping Village. They are high-income people, not to mention that my younger brother can bring a piece of fresh pork home every day.

Ever since the younger brother worked for the Yang family, their family had never been short of meat. With such a good job, there was no need to follow him to take risks in the mountains.

Zhu Dashan pushed away his younger brother's face and asked the person on the recliner: "Brother, is the price I'm selling it for right?"

Zhu Houxiu, the boss of the Zhu family, replied slowly: "Our family did not suffer any loss from the bird's nest, and the bacteria returned the favor. Boss Yang is a cheerful and good person. If there are good things in the future, we can sell them to him directly at the market price."

Seeing that his two younger brothers frowned and didn't understand what he meant, he added: "Compared to money, favors are the most complicated and difficult to understand. Boss Yang was willing to pay a high price to buy bird's nests just now because he didn't want to owe us less mushrooms. The second reason is that he really needs the bird's nest to replenish Boss Lin's health."

When Yang Yuanzu returned home, he went straight to the kitchen. Only Yang Wu was busy in the kitchen. Yang Yuanzu asked, "Where is Aunt Kang?"

"I went to the entrance of the village with the old lady to watch the excitement." Seeing that Yang Yuanzu was silent, Yang Wu asked again, "Do you want me to call her?"

"No, you go out and call someone to help me." Yang Yuanzu broke a few eggs and separated the egg whites. Seeing Yang Wu calling Suning in, he said: "Come and help me stir the egg whites, follow this direction Stir quickly and don’t stop.”

Yang Yuanzu then lit the charcoal and put it into the oven he improved to preheat.

Then dry-steam the ordinary flour for 20 minutes, then crush and sift it. The fine powder sifted out is the same as low-gluten flour.

Yang Wu almost broke his hands before he could beat the egg whites into the shape Yang Yuanzu wanted.

Yang Yuanzu mixed the milk and egg yolk batter with the stirred egg whites, and added a small amount of honey and sugar. After making it, he poured it into the mold and put it in the oven.

The remaining egg whites were turned into cream by Yang Yuanzu, and he just waited for the cake to be baked and then paste it on top of the cake.

"Go and wash some fruits for me." Suning heard this and ran to the back mountain to pick some fresh fruits and wash them.

Yang Yuanzu left the kitchen to Suning and the others, and called him when the hourglass time came.

When Yang Yuanzu just came out of the kitchen, he saw Aunt Kang coming back with Aunt Chen. The two of them looked shocked, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"There are refugees outside the village gate!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuanzu was about to go to the entrance of the village to take a look, but was stopped by Aunt Chen. He only heard the other party say: "Only two came, but they were driven away by everyone."

Yang Yuanzu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. Thinking that the refugees could even break in through the city gate, he began to worry that the wall of Fengping Village could not stop them. However, Yang Yuanzu was the head of the family, and even if he was worried, he did not dare to put himself in the house. No emotion showed at all, but he calmly comforted the frightened Aunt Chen, "Our village has a wall, they can't get in easily, and there are people guarding the door."

Lin Ting'an heard the commotion and was helped out by Xiaofan, asking: "What happened?"

Yang Yuan’s grandmother and son replied simultaneously: “Nothing.”

Seeing Lin Ting'an's suspicious look, Aunt Chen added: "Mom just walked around the village and chatted with the old aunt and the others."

Seeing this, Lin Ting'an put aside his doubts. There was a hint of sweet smell in the air. He sniffed it and asked Aunt Kang: "What did you eat today? Why does it smell so good?"

Aunt Kang had just come back from outside with Aunt Chen. Naturally, she didn't know what was going on at home. She looked at the servants in confusion and asked with her eyes: What are you doing in the kitchen?

Yang Wu, who participated in making the cake, was stirring cream in the kitchen, Suning was picking fruits in the back mountain, and the other servants didn't know what was going on.

Yang Yuanzu stood up and said, "I made a cake. It should be ready in a while."

When Yang Huahua heard that Yang Yuanzu had researched something new, he immediately ran to the kitchen to find out. Seeing this, Yang Yuanzu quickly stopped him: "The time is not up yet, we can't open the oven!"

After a while, a voice came from the kitchen: "I know!"

The remaining Lin Ting'an and Aunt Chen will also go to the kitchen, along with Aunt Kang, who is going to prepare the family's lunch.

The remaining people also wanted to join in the fun. Although the Yang family's kitchen was large, it could not accommodate so many people at the same time. The remaining people were all sent away by Yang Yuanzu.

Several nursing staff were embarrassed to return to their posts and act as doorkeepers, while the other servants also went about their duties.

Suning came back with a basket of pears and grapes, ran to the well and fetched a bucket of water to clean the fruits and set them aside.

Everyone walked around the kitchen and only saw the cream being stirred in Yang Wu's hand.

When Yang Yuanzu saw that Aunt Kang was making lunch, he took everyone out of the kitchen.
