Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

"The ancestor is well-informed," Su Ziling chuckled. "Originally, I only bought mushrooms such as Boletus, Alpinia edulis, and Alpinia hortensis. Later, I heard that there were more tricholoma, yellow-headed mushrooms, and white buckwheat mushrooms. They couldn't finish them themselves, so they gave me some."

"I tried cooking mushroom hotpot and it tasted good, so I bought all the mushrooms at once. Most importantly, they are not poisonous and are safe to eat."

Su Chenghuai snorted, "I think the most important thing is that it's cheap, right?"

Su Ziling nodded and agreed openly, "The price is a little cheaper, but for those villagers, although the price is not as high as those of Jianshouqing, any profit is good, and there are more mushrooms here, more than those of Jianshouqing, so if you pick more, you can earn a lot."

"That's the truth," Su Chenghuai nodded in agreement, "You have to know how to cook it, otherwise these things will rot in the mountains if no one wants them and they can't be eaten."

"Well, I collected a lot, so I took them to the valley and restaurants to sell. I didn't expect that they sold quite well."

"It's just a bit of a waste of chickens, right?" As soon as Su Chenghuai finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. This was a well-known fact. She had bought a lot of chickens in the village recently.

Yellow and white buckwheat mushrooms, as well as gray mushrooms and chicken mushroom flowers, can be used to make mushroom sauce, but they are high in water content and not thick in texture, so they shrink significantly after cooking, making them not very cost-effective. Therefore, they are better used for hot pot.

This way you can taste its freshness better. Su Ziling tried selling it for two days, and everyone seemed to like it.

From then on, their family killed two chickens every day to make soup base, and then they added another shed in the valley.

Business in the restaurant was even better. Su Ziling specially had some small iron pots made with a stove underneath. She couldn't afford charcoal, so she chopped the firewood into very fine pieces and had someone hollow out the heart of bamboo to make a chimney, so that there would be no smoke in the house.

The business was surprisingly good. The mushrooms were all mixed, but they tasted especially delicious. Su Ziling didn't dare to cook the ones with green hands, for fear that they would not be cooked well and people would be sick after eating them.

The store has to kill seven or eight chickens a day, four in the morning and three to four in the afternoon. They also have a big pot for making soup base. As the mushroom hotpot became popular, fewer people came to eat noodles.

Su Ziling simply asked them to withdraw the noodles, which made things easier for them. They could just sell breakfast in the morning and mushroom hotpot at noon and in the evening.

In addition to mushrooms, there are some side dishes, such as green vegetables, sweet potato tips, cabbage, wild vegetables, leeks, vermicelli, sweet potatoes, and perilla. Some pork tenderloin is also sliced ​​very thinly and can be eaten with a light rinse. It tastes delicious.

This way of eating is very fresh and tastes really good. Su Ji Restaurant's business is booming, but it is the people who deliver the mushrooms who have worked hard.

The mushrooms were collected at night and had to be delivered to the restaurant early the next morning. It was a tough job and they had to make a trip every day, so Su Ziling paid high wages and hired three people, paying them one or two taels of silver a month each. They were responsible for delivering the mushrooms, vegetables, and firewood leaves every morning.

Speaking of green vegetables, we have to mention the chayote grown by Su Ziling. The tips of the chayote are particularly popular, especially for hot pot, as they are tender and fresh.

The restaurant no longer sells noodles separately, but business is better.

Business is good, and Li Zelan and her colleagues are not as tired as before. The soup base is cooked, the vegetables are washed in advance, the meat is cut freshly, and the mushrooms are also washed, cut and put into the basket.

When the guests arrive, just serve the soup base and dishes directly. Speaking of the basket, Su Yongan praised Su Ziling for being clever more than once. The basket was woven by Grandpa Su out of bamboo. It is very convenient to put the dishes in and it is also good for draining water.

Su Chenghuai finished his bowl of soup and asked Su A'nai to refill it. "It's really delicious. No wonder people like it. It tastes fresh and not greasy. I like it too. You are smart. You can find anything to eat."

Grandma Su smiled and said, "She is not smart at all, she is just greedy."

"If you like to drink it, please come often. My house doesn't have much else, but there are a lot of mushrooms." Su Ziling responded with a smile.

By the way, he scooped a spoonful of mushrooms for the old doctor and said, "Old doctor, try this. I guess you have never eaten it before."

"Hey, hey!" He held the bowl with both hands, "I'll do it myself. The mushrooms you cooked are really good, and the way they are eaten is very fresh."

"Yeah, I also think this mushroom is the most tender and fresh." Su Ziling said as he scooped him another bowl.

"That's enough, that's enough." The old doctor continued, "What kind of mushrooms are these? I'll go to the mountains and pick some when I get back."

Su Ziling's lips curled up slightly, her eyes full of smiles, and she said, "That's the one you mentioned who was stupid."

The old doctor paused instantly, with the mushroom still stuffed in his mouth. He chewed it twice, then paused for a moment, looked down at the mushroom, and then looked at Su Ziling, as if he was confirming something.

Su Ziling nodded, "Yes, it's the one you mentioned, the one with bright colors that looks poisonous at first glance."

Su Ziling saw that when she finished speaking, the old doctor's face began to twitch. He first took his own pulse, then his left hand and his right hand, then touched his forehead. He even wanted to take Su Ziling's pulse too.

Su Ziling couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Su's mother glared at her and scolded her with a smile: "You are such a disrespectful girl," then looked at the old doctor.

"Doctor, don't mind it. This girl is just teasing you. This is a poisonous herb. If it is not cooked well, it is indeed poisonous. If you eat it, you will be the same as the one next door. But if it is cooked well, it is not poisonous."

"Not only is it non-toxic, it's also very delicious. You can eat it without worry."

The old doctor felt like crying but had no tears left, and became even more worried.

Looking at the bowl of mushrooms in my hand, my hands were shaking a little. I didn't know whether to eat it or not.

Especially after hearing what Su's mother said, he became even more scared.

In his ears, Su's mother's words just sounded like: blah blah blah, blah blah, it's really poisonous, if you eat it, it will be just like the one next door, blah blah.

Seeing this, Grandma Su frowned and scolded the mother and daughter together, "How can you talk like that? Old doctor, don't listen to them. Don't worry about eating it. My family is professional in making this mushroom and we eat it often, so we cook it well, and it won't be poisonous when it's cooked."

"Of course, we don't recommend you make it yourself, because it's easy to end up eating the same dish as the one next door."

Old doctor: "..."

So, is there any difference between what you said and what the mother and daughter said?

It's poisonous after all!

He really wanted to cry. How delicious the food was just now, how scared he was now.

In the end, it was Su Chenghuai who patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, don't worry and eat. It's okay. Look at us, we are not afraid. What does this mean?"

The old doctor blinked and didn't dare to speak.

Su Chenghuai drank a mouthful of soup and said, "It means everything is fine. We have eaten so much. If it was poisonous, we would have collapsed long ago."

Old doctor: "..."

OK, OK, OK, after all, it’s still poisonous!

"Doctor, you've checked your pulse, right? It's okay, eat it with confidence. We've eaten it many times at home, including last year. We have a trick for dealing with poisonous mushrooms."

Old doctor: "What trick?"

"The secret is of course..." Add more garlic and oil, and then stir-fry over high heat. Thinking of this, Su Ziling suddenly paused. She seemed to be boiling it, so she couldn't stir-fry it.

Then he changed his tone, "Since it is called a secret trick, it must not be announced out loud. Come on, the food in your bowl is cold. I'll add some soup for you. Eat, eat, it's okay."

The old doctor was worried, so he checked his pulse again and made sure that he was fine. Seeing that they were still eating, he couldn't help but eat with them.

Everyone chatted and ate, and naturally forgot about the matter when they were having a good time. Finally, after finishing the meal, Su Ziling did not forget to tease the old doctor, "Old doctor, what do you think of this stupid mushroom?"

Old doctor: "..."

Seeing the smile in her eyes, he finally gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word, "Delicious!"

"Hahahaha!" Everyone was amused and the yard was full of laughter.

After dinner, the old doctor went to the Su family next door, thinking that he could take care of them if anything happened.
