"It's getting late, it's time to make dinner, how about stewing the pheasant that I just caught today? But you said it would be stewed with chestnuts or mushrooms, which one do you like?" Ji Chunshan asked Ye Qinglan.

"All good, I like them all." Ye Qinglan said.

"Well, anyway, there are two pheasants. Let's make stewed chicken with chestnuts today, and stewed chicken with mushrooms in a few days." Ji Chunshan laughed.

Ye Qinglan nodded.

Ji Chunshan went to the kitchen to light the stove first, and prepared to boil a pot of boiling water to molt the pheasants.

Ji Ningxu found that there were a few more living animals in the house, but obviously, the little snow-white furry bunny was the most attractive to him.Ji Chunshan threw the two big rabbits into the chicken coop in the backyard, put a few little rabbits into baskets and brought them into the house, then cut some grass and asked Ji Ningxu to feed the little rabbits to play.

Not long after breakfast the next day, Dr. Hu arrived as scheduled. After taking the pulse of Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu in turn, he couldn't help but stroked his beard and said to Ji Chunshan with a smile, "It seems that you have taken good care of me these few days. Brother Lan and Xu'er have recovered. It’s better than I imagined.”

Hearing that Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu recovered well, Ji Chunshan was also very happy, but he said modestly: "No, I didn't do anything, it's better to take the medicine prescribed by Hu Bo, and the right medicine will cure the disease."

"Hey," Dr. Hu shook his head, and said, "It's good to prescribe the right medicine, but I can only prescribe the medicine for the body's disease, and you are the medicine for the heart disease."

"Me?" Ji Chunshan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Doctor Hu meant. Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu were no longer as anxious as they used to be, and they were struggling to get through the day with peace of mind, which is also good for the body. .But Ji Chunshan felt that what really solved Ye Qinglan's heart trouble was what he said a few days ago, that when Ye Qinglan recovered from his illness, he would reconcile with him and allow him to take Ji Ningxu out of Ji's house.

"By the way, Huber, I was the first to go into the mountains. I was lucky enough to find a few monkey mushrooms. Take a look, should I make it into a medicinal diet, or just use it as medicine?" Monkey mushrooms were considered luxury items in ancient times. It's just that Ji Chunshan only picked a few flowers, and they can't sell them for much, but if they want to buy them back, they won't be at the selling price.

Ji Chunshan thought, this monkey mushroom has extremely high nutritional value and is a good thing for nourishing the stomach and nourishing the body, so he simply left it for Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu to use, but this thing is really rare, and he has not yet figured out what to do with it. When I was thinking about how to do it, I wanted to show Dr. Hu how to maximize the effect of the monkey mushroom.

Dr. Hu's eyes lit up when he saw monkey mushrooms, and he picked up one and looked at it carefully, and picked up another one after watching one, until he had looked at all six monkey mushrooms, and said: "These monkey mushrooms The appearance of the mushrooms is good, and they are the best. If they are made into a medicinal diet, they may not be fully absorbed, and they will be wasted instead. These monkey mushrooms are made into powder, and you can sprinkle some when you make porridge and soup later."

"If that's the case, then I'll bother Huber." Ji Chunshan thanked him.If he made some snacks and food, he thought he was not inferior to others, but monkey mushrooms are both ingredients and medicinal materials, so it is better to listen to the opinions of professionals.

Afterwards, Dr. Hu prescribed new prescriptions for Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu. Ji Chunshan asked Ye Qinglan for three taels of silver, and then went back to Yanghe Town with a basket on his back.

After entering Yanghe Town, I first went to Renjitang to get the medicine. This time the medicine was a little cheaper than the previous one. The ten medicines cost a total of one tael, seven yuan and 89 renminbi.After catching the medicine, Ji Chunshan went to the blacksmith's shop in the town to ask the blacksmith to cut a small blade that is half a finger long and two inches wide, with one side sharpened. for a while.

Therefore, the official camp of salt and iron was under strict control. When the blade was ready, Ji Chunshan gave three pennies, and wrote down the name, who lived and where, and the blacksmith's apprentice added when to buy what, and how much iron was used. , was able to leave.

Coming out of the blacksmith shop, Ji Chunshan went to the grocery store again, first bought some daily necessities such as lamp oil and toilet paper, and weighed two catties of white sugar and half a catty of rock sugar, and finally ordered ten medium-sized jars in one breath, plus ten A large tank with a mouth half as tall as a person.

The grocery store has a small storefront, with only one counter and two shelves. Only a few samples of items like jars are placed in the store, and the rest are in the small warehouse in the backyard. As for the half-person-high open vat , but there is no stock in the grocery store.Every time someone buys, they must first pay a part of the deposit, and the shopkeeper of the grocery store will go to the kiln factory in Wangjiawu Village, five miles away from Yanghe Town, to order.

This time Ji Chunshan bought ten in one go, and the shopkeeper was very happy. This transaction was more than he sold in the past six months. After all, this big tank is big and heavy. It is not easy to move the food, which is different from small jars that are light and easy to move, and are also easy to damage.Some people take care of it carefully, a large tank can be used for decades, or even longer.

The selling price of each large vat at the grocery store is 120 five cents, and a one-third deposit must be paid in advance. Because Ji Chunshan ordered a lot this time, the shopkeeper of the grocery store wiped him five cents per vat to make up for it. One hundred and two whole, the deposit for ten tanks is four qian in total.Afterwards, a contract was written, stating that on August 29, the Liji Grocery Store in Yanghe Town would receive a deposit of four coins for ten large tanks from Jichun Mountain in Anping Village. The ten large vats were sent to Ji's house in Anping Village, Ji Chunshan paid the remaining eight qian silver for the purchase, and Li Ji's grocery store took back the contract.

While writing the deed, the curtain of the small door leading to the inner hall of the grocery store was suddenly lifted, and a middle-aged woman came out. Ji Chunshan glanced at it casually and found it familiar. The woman with her grandson who made her first sale at the market the day before yesterday.

"What a coincidence, big sister." Ji Chunshan greeted with a smile.

The woman was stunned, and recognized Ji Chunshan, she couldn't help covering her lips and said with a smile: "You brat, you still call me eldest sister, and you deliberately don't call me auntie!"

"Hello, Auntie." Ji Chunshan shouted with a smile.

"Mother Gen'er, do you know Brother Ji?" Before Ji Chunshan could speak, shopkeeper Li asked with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Do you still remember the meat floss pancakes and dried fragrant that I bought at the big fair before my senior year? This little brother sold them to me." The woman, the wife of shopkeeper Li Feng, explained with a smile.

"So that's how it is." Shopkeeper Li looked at Ji Chunshan, looking a little surprised, seeing that he was just a big and three thick guy, but he was able to think about making such fresh and unique food, which is beyond his appearance.

Feng said again: "I don't know if my brother will come to the market in two days, but will you still sell your meat muffins?"

"It's for sale. Auntie, do you still like it?" Ji Chunshan asked.He didn't expect that the woman was the proprietress of a grocery store in the town. No wonder she spent thirty cents on one of his stalls without blinking an eye. The average farmer's family is not so rich.

"Of course I like it. Now I regret that I didn't buy enough at that time." Feng said, "You don't know, I went back to my mother's house last time, and my relatives were all there. Once you take out your meat floss pancakes and share them with everyone, they will be rare. No, several people directly asked me where I bought it, and they wanted to buy it back to honor the elderly. I told them that I bought it at the market, and when they heard it, they were afraid that they would not be able to buy it. The portion I brought was lost, and my desperate guardian saved five yuan for my mother. I was thinking about going to the big market in two days, and then I will find you to buy some."

What Feng said was a bit exaggerated. Although Ji Chunshan knew that his meat muffins tasted good, people flocked to them, but it was better because they were fresh and unique. When someone figured out how to make them later, there would be more people selling them. If it has become a common snack, it will not be the case.

"As long as my aunt likes it, the meat muffins are not restricted by season, as long as there is meat and noodles, you can make them anytime." Ji Chunshan said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good, then you have to reserve some for me in advance, in case I go late, it won't work if I get sold out." Feng Shi instructed Ji Chunshan.

"No problem, no one can do without auntie, don't worry, auntie." Ji Chunshan responded readily.

When things were over, Ji Chunshan was ready to leave.

When he came, he only carried a basket on his back, and he couldn't fit ten jars, so he hired an ox cart for five renminbi. After loading the jars, he himself got into the cart and chatted with the old man driving the cart Days, before I knew it, I had returned to Anping Village.

When they got home, they unloaded the jars to pay for the car, and the old man drove the ox cart away. Ye Qinglan came out of the house and saw a yard of jars, and was really shocked.

"Are so many pickled vegetables?" Ye Qinglan couldn't help asking, if they were all filled with pickled vegetables, it would be enough to last ten years.

"How could it be?" Ji Chunshan smiled, and said again: "Only three are prepared to make pickles, and the other few are also useful for me. As for what to do, you will know when it is done, don't worry, I won't spend money recklessly." Ji Chunshan didn't say it clearly, but put it off.

When Ji Chunshan said that, Ye Qinglan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

In the afternoon, Ji Chunshan did not go to the mountain to collect fruit, but went to the back mountain with a machete to cut a poplar branch about one meter thick and long. Then he took out a wooden box from the west room. The tools for making woodware are complete, including curved ruler, ink fountain, plane, drill, chisel, carving knife, etc., which are naturally left by Ji Chunshan's father.

It turned out that when Ji's father realized that his son was not suitable for studying, he decided to pass on the carpentry skills to his son, so that he could have the ability to support the family in the future, but Ji Chunshan was too muddy to support the wall.

Ji's father taught his son to do his best without reservation. With Ji's father's strict supervision, Ji Chunshan learned a little bit, and he was able to make some ordinary objects, but it was not as delicate and strong as Ji's father.

It's a pity that Ji's father passed away. At the beginning, relying on Ji's father's reputation, there were still people who came to Ji's house to order wooden wares. Naturally, Ji Chunshan would not refuse if he could make money, but his craftsmanship was far from being comparable to Ji's father, let alone him. He also made a shoddy act and spread the word. Not only did he no longer have business, but he also ruined Ji's father's good reputation accumulated all his life, and the whole set of woodworking tools left by Ji's father was also shelved. up.
