At midnight, there were no customers in the restaurant, so Mao Xi went to the kitchen to cook some more glutinous rice balls.

Lou Lan'er was still asleep in the inner room, snoring loudly.

"Ah Shu, are you going to open your shop all night today?" Mu Zhiyuan asked with concern.

Seeing that everyone was tired, and not wanting Mu Zhiyuan to stay up late with her anymore, Mao Xi cooked a pot of glutinous rice balls and woke up Lou Lan'er.

"Sister Lan'er, I cooked some glutinous rice balls. Let's eat them together. After that, we will go home and rest together."

Lou Lan'er stretched her body and got up from the inner room. She smelled the smell of glutinous rice balls cooked in brown sugar water, and she actually felt a little hungry.

The three of them sat and ate together in the outer hall. It was late at night and the weather was cold, but the glutinous rice balls in the bowls were warm and warm.

From time to time, there were passers-by wandering around at night outside the shop, peeking into the shop, but none of them entered.

Lou Lan'er saw a painting placed by the table and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Ah Shu, did you buy a painting tonight?"

"No, when you were asleep just now, a young man came here to eat, but he didn't bring enough money, so he paid for it on credit."

"This is the first time I've heard of someone using paintings for credit." Lou Lan'er wondered alone, "Ah Shu, your glutinous rice balls are warm and the sesame filling is so delicious."

Mu Zhiyuan was also heart-warmed by this bowl of warm glutinous rice balls. He ate rose glutinous rice balls and asked, "Ah Shu, the filling is flower paste. The flowers have bloomed before spring has arrived?"

Mao Xi held the soup bowl in his hand to keep warm, and said: "It was planted in that other cave. A field of roses and daylilies bloomed. By the way, Brother Mo Feng returned to Savage Valley again. I will go pick some roses tomorrow." flower."

"Rose? It's a flower like a rose, right? I'll go with you tomorrow!"

Mao Xi put away the "Night Banquet Picture", closed the shop, and went home with Lou Lan'er.

She did not forget to tease Lou Lan'er on the way: "Sister Lan'er, I saw you at the lantern riddles pavilion today, wearing a mask and chatting with a little brother."

Lou Lan'er blushed and took out the lantern riddle poem card from her arms, which had the four-character riddle "Wind and Moon Boundless" written on it.

"It's nothing. I don't know him. I just saw someone wearing the same mask as me and thought we were destined, so I chatted with him for a few words."

"The young man who came to the store tonight to have dinner on credit, I think the mask he got is the same as yours, it's a green beast mask, hahaha..."

The two chatted and laughed, and when they arrived at the rented house in Lihua Town, Mrs. Chen, Ajiao and her younger brother had already gone to bed.

.

Savage Valley has a unique cave and hot spring.

Mao Xi and Mu Zhiyuan came together to collect roses and daylilies. The roses bloomed quickly and they had already been harvested twice after the new year.

Some roses are dried and made into rose tea; some are made into candied rose jam.

The dried daylily flowers are daylily flowers, which can be used to make dishes and stews.

Mo Feng was not in the cave, so they went to search near the waterfall together.

"Brother Mo Feng said that he found a cave nearby. I guess he may be deep in the forest."

The two of them climbed along the rock wall beside the waterfall to the top of the mountain.

When they reached a high place, Mu Zhiyuan climbed onto a big rock and looked down into the distance.

He pointed to a cliff not far away and said, "Look, is that Mo Feng? I think he seems to be collecting some herbs on the cliff."

Mao Xi followed Mu Zhiyuan and climbed to the cliff.

I saw Na Mo Feng tying a rope to a pine tree on the top of the cliff, and climbing down from the height of the rock wall along the rope.

He grabbed a black moss-like plant on the stone wall and put it into the cloth bag on his waist.

When Mo Feng climbed to the top, Mu Zhiyuan pulled him.

"Brother Mo, what herbs are you collecting on the rock wall?" Shui Xi asked.

Mo Feng grabbed a handful of black lamellar moss from the bag: "This is a stone mushroom, also called rock ear. It is a mushroom that grows on rocks.

I saw it when I was exploring the cave. It takes five years for these stone mushrooms to grow to the size of a copper coin, and thirty years to the size of a palm. They are very precious. "

Mao Xi also grabbed a handful and smelled it. She had eaten these stone mushrooms when she was a child, and her mother used them to stew duck soup. Because they were only wild ones, they could be sold for thousands of yuan per pound.

Seeing that Mao Xi was interested in stone mushrooms, Mo Feng gave her half a bag: "I'll give you some. You can make soup and stir-fry when you get home."

Mao Xi accepted it happily and followed him back to the cave.

Mo Feng cleaned the stone mushrooms by the hot spring, dried some on the stones, and used some for cooking.

In the pot, he first sauteed the pheasant with tea oil until fragrant, then added the mushrooms and water, covered it and simmered it.

The aroma of stone mushrooms and chicken filled the cave, and panda Huahua also ran over.

Mao Xi had never eaten it this way before. She took a bite and felt that the taste was more delicious than stew.

After bidding farewell to Mo Feng, Mu Zhiyuan saw that Shu Xi was obsessed with the stone mushrooms, so he asked, "Ah Shu, do you like the stone mushrooms very much?"

Ma Xi nodded.

Mu Zhiyuan turned around and went back, borrowed the rope for climbing the rock from Mo Feng, returned to the collection place, and went down the rock wall to pick stone mushrooms.

"Brother Mu, be careful!" Mao Xi saw Mu Zhiyuan jumping down on the rock wall, "Don't climb too far, I can't see you!"

Mu Zhiyuan filled a whole bag and was about to climb up when a group of apes climbed towards him.

Mao Xi was worried about Mu Zhiyuan, so she grabbed the end of the rope and kept pulling it back.

Seeing that the monkeys were about to climb up the rock wall, Mu Zhiyuan stepped on a branch protruding from the rock wall and flew to the top of the cliff with a light skill.

"Ah Shu, look, there are so many stone mushrooms!" Mu Zhiyuan grabbed a handful of stone mushrooms from the bag and gave them to Shu Xi.

"I thought there were no monkeys here. It was so dangerous just now!" Shu Xi took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Mu Zhiyuan's forehead.

Mu Zhiyuan grabbed her hand: "Ah Shu..."

Mao Xi hurriedly withdrew his right hand: "Here's the handkerchief for you. You wipe the sweat yourself. I'll leave first!" After saying that, he ran away shyly.

Returning to Liuxiang Snacks, Mao Xi quickly added a medicinal stew pot to the menu: Chicken Stewed with Stone Mushrooms, which sold for 25 Wen per serving.

In the evening, Academician Su came to the food shop to eat. He saw on the food board that there was a new dish of stewed chicken with mushrooms, and he immediately ordered one.

"Xueshi Su, your stew!" Su Ziguan couldn't wait to eat it as soon as the waiter finished serving it.

Su Ziguan likes wild mushrooms the most, but he rarely tastes these stone mushrooms.

"This stone mushroom is rare and hard to buy in the market. I heard that it grows on the rocks of the cliff. Little girl, don't you really climb on that rock wall?"

Mao Xi came to Su Ziguan: "Su Xueguan is joking. Brother Mu collected these stone mushrooms for me on the mountain. Today, when I collected them on the stone wall, I was chased away by mountain monkeys."
