Chapter 750: Shennong's Spirit of Tasting Hundreds of Herbs

When the group arrived home, Baiyunxi asked Wenyou to take out the sugar water hanging in the well, entertain the guests, and then fetch water to wash the mushrooms and prepare a mushroom feast.

It wasn't until Zhang Yiren watched Bai Yunxi pour the mushrooms on the mat to sort them that he looked at her dumbly.

Although she had eaten a lot of fungi, they all looked like they had been soaked in the sun after being dried. This was the first time she had seen something fresh like this that had just been picked.

"The color looks weird."

Especially the green one, it’s such a weird color, and it always feels wrong if I eat it.

Listening to Zhang Yiren's thoughts, Bai Yunxi smiled and introduced to her,

"Sister Yiren, although the color of these mushrooms is weird, they are rare and delicious. This is called green-headed mushroom. It can be eaten raw after cleaning. It is very delicious. This red-headed mushroom and porcini are more delicious when stewed with meat. The meat is delicious.”

Zhang Yiren: "..."

Although it sounds exciting, it is still scary.

Baiyunxi divided them into categories, and Wenyou also drew water. Baiyunxi moved a small bench, scrubbed them one by one, and hung them next to dry to remove the moisture.

“The alley where I rent is pretty good. It’s very convenient for buying vegetables. Every evening, the households in the alley bring their own vegetables, chickens, and eggs to the entrance of the alley to sell them. After buying a few times, I became familiar with them..."

Every now and then, someone would come to her door and ask her if she wanted eggs, old hens, and so on.

She didn't have to go out to buy groceries, and there was nothing missing in the kitchen.

While Bai Yunxi was working, she was chatting with Zhang Yiren. Although it was trivial household matters, it was suitable for chatting.

"Pfft~, hearing you say that, I can imagine the harmonious scene."

Zhang Yiren covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled brightly. This person has a cheerful personality and speaks and does things cheerfully. No matter who you talk to, it makes you feel comfortable.

In her heart, it seems that everyone is the same, and there is no distinction between high and low. With such a mentality, she thinks she can't do it, but she likes to talk to such people, because when she is with her, there is no psychology. burden.

After being busy for most of an hour, a pot of fragrant mushroom feast was served on the table.

"Old hen mushroom soup, fried red-headed mushrooms, sliced ​​porcini mushrooms, green-headed mushrooms stuffed with meat..."

Baiyunxi took off her apron and introduced Zhang Yiren one by one.

"Eat with confidence, these mushrooms are what we often eat. Every spring after the rain, we always go to the back mountain to pick some and bring them back. If we can't finish them, we dry them in the sun and save them for many years.

After all, Baiyunxi took a bite of each dish to show that it was not poisonous.

Zhang Yiren watched her take the lead in testing the poison and couldn't help but curl her lips. This person is really interesting.

"Seeing you like this, I can't help but think that Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs like this. I'm not afraid, but I've never seen so many strange fungi, and I'm very curious. Since you started cooking, the fragrance has filled the air. Throughout the yard, several children were lying at the door looking in. Even if it’s poisonous, I have to take a bite.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the yard was amused. They all took their chopsticks to try, one with green-headed mushrooms stuffed with meat, and another with plain-fried red-headed mushrooms. As soon as they entered the mouth, they were overflowing with fragrance, tender and delicious. When they picked up their chopsticks, they couldn't help it.

Seeing that the juniors were enjoying their meal, Bai Yunxi quickly filled a bowl with mushroom chicken soup and placed it in front of Zhang Yiren.

"Try this again. The mushroom soup simmered with old hen soup is not only fresh and tender, but also nourishing."

When it came out of the pot, she deliberately sprinkled a few wolfberry berries. The bright yellow soup accompanied by the red wolfberry berries was so beautiful.

After the meal, everyone was satisfied, stroking their stomachs and saying that they were full.

"I really ate a lot today. Fortunately, it's Yunxi here. If I had gone anywhere else, I might have made a fool of myself."

Zhang Yiren wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and joked directly to himself.

I can't control myself when I see something delicious, and I won't be called greedy.

After eating and drinking, before leaving, Baiyunxi brought the remaining mushrooms to Zhang Yiren and asked her to take them home for the dean to taste.

In the following days, Baiyunxi did not run out, but stayed quietly in the yard to clean up the housework with Wenyou, and then enjoyed the cool air in the yard, sewing and mending.

Just like she told Zhang Yiren, after getting to know the neighbors in the alley, she didn't even have to go out to buy groceries. Someone came to inquire, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Especially eggs, her family consumes the most, and everyone in the alley knows that her family loves to eat them. Every time they save eight or ten eggs, they come to her first and ask her before selling them on the street.

Occasionally, we stew chicken and make soup at home, and the smell attracts all the children from the next door neighbor.

In addition, she has also been paying attention to Xie Yu's activities.

Although her relationship with the Xie family was far from harmonious, she still liked that boy Xie Yu. In order to avoid some trouble, Bai Yunxi had to ask Wenyou to go there every now and then, and occasionally bring some Du's cooking. Night snack.

Except for the people in Xie Yu's courtyard, everyone else knew nothing about Wen You's visit to Xie's house at night.

The man had been quietly recuperating in his mansion, and the people waiting close by him were the two young men brought by Shopkeeper Jiang.

As for the people in Xie's house, anyone who went to visit them was turned away by him.

For this reason, Mrs. Ma caught Magistrate Xie and filed a complaint fiercely, crying that her stepmother was so aggrieved that she could not even enter her stepson's yard. Not to mention other things, if this spreads out, people will laugh out loud.

He is obviously an elder, so he cannot be respected by the younger generation. He is also being guarded in every possible way. If anyone finds out, his face will be completely lost.

Seeing that Magistrate Xie remained silent and showed no sign of displeasure, Ma let out a sob and muttered dissatisfiedly, saying that there was a difference between the two of them, and that even if he wanted to take care of someone, he wouldn't appreciate it.

Strangely enough, magistrate Xie, who was usually very obedient to his step-brother, did not follow her wishes this time to find trouble with his eldest son. Instead, he said in a nonchalant manner, "Brother Yu has someone to take care of him, and he doesn't want to give him any trouble." If you cause trouble, you need to meditate to recover, so don't bother him.

As soon as Magistrate Xie said these words, Ma was stunned and looked at him with tears in her eyes. There was disbelief in her eyes. The man who was sleeping with her in front of her also began to distrust her.

In all these years of getting married, this was the first time that he didn't stand on her side. For some reason, Ma's eyes flashed with panic, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and started to cry.

After a while, she stopped crying, stared at him longingly, and asked with sobs, "She has carefully managed this family over the years, and she has no time to spare for fear of something going wrong."

After more than ten years of hard work and hard work, in the end, I feel like I am no longer a human being?
