Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Becoming a Kitchen God

It turns out that sometimes you can buy good things at really high prices.

Lin Yirui didn't expect that the mushroom tasted so unexpectedly good.

He is a decent cook, following online tutorials. The results depend on luck, sometimes they are just so-so, sometimes they are super delicious. But today he made the entire menu based on mushrooms. The most classic chicken stewed with mushrooms is definitely on the menu, followed by black pepper beef tenderloin with mushrooms, and then pork ribs stewed with mushroom soup.

There were quite a few mushrooms, and the dishes he cooked were also quite generous.

The black pepper beef tenderloin uses fir mushrooms, the pork ribs and mushroom soup uses porcini and tea tree mushrooms, and the remaining mushrooms are all put into the mushroom stewed chicken.

He followed the recipe strictly step by step.

When the first dish of black pepper beef tenderloin with mushrooms came out of the pot, Lin Yirui knew that he had not been cheated this time, but had gotten his money's worth. Then, when the light yet incredibly delicious pork ribs stewed with porcini mushrooms and the rich and equally delicious mushroom stewed chicken were about to come out of the pot, the aroma...

Lin Yirui began to doubt one thing——

Did he become a cooking god?!

Otherwise, how can you make such delicious dishes?!

It’s amazing!

It smells so good!

He couldn't even play with his cell phone. He had to check the timer every once in a while. He was so dazzled by the aroma that he even forgot to cook!

God knows what will happen when three dishes are placed on the table and he tastes them one by one and finds out that there is no rice?!

Fortunately, takeout is a good thing.

While waiting for the takeaway, Lin Yirui didn't just stand there and watch, but started drinking the soup, intending to fill his stomach. After taking a mouthful, it was so hot that he grimaced, but he couldn't bear to spit it out.

fresh!

So fresh!

Just add some basic seasonings and put some chopped green onions when serving, and it is already delicious enough, as if the essence of chicken soup stewed with several local chickens is condensed in the soup. The key is that it does not have the thickness of chicken oil, and it is an extremely light and fresh taste!

The light saltiness and the sweet aftertaste add a touch of variety to the taste of the soup.

Lin Yirui drank it and felt extremely satisfied.

It’s confirmed, he has become a cooking god!!!

After taking a break, he couldn't wait to take the second bite. In the middle, he took two bites of beef fillet with mushrooms and another bite of tender and tasty chicken. Sure enough, each bite had its own flavor, which made him unable to stop.

While we were eating, the takeaway arrived.

Lin Yirui muttered, "The takeaway arrived so quickly."

Then he sat down, opened the lid of the rice, took out a portion, and was about to start when he suddenly paused. "Burp" a clear burp sounded in the quiet restaurant.

Lin Yirui: “…………”

He's full!

——

The successive openings are a good sign.

After seeing off the third customer, Jiang Heng immediately welcomed other customers. New customers and old customers who bought some to try yesterday took turns coming. The old customers obviously bought much more. People passing by were also attracted by the aroma and came over to take a look. Some people smelled the fragrance of the mushrooms and directly reached into their pockets, while some hesitated and bought a small amount to try it out.

Jiang Heng greeted them all with a smile.

The guests all found it pleasing to the eye and were more willing to pay.

As expected, the porcini mushrooms were the first to be eaten, followed by the black mushrooms, and then the tea tree mushrooms...

This time, there were still two minutes until eight o'clock, and Jiang Heng directly sold short!

It wasn't completely sold out, there was still a little left, some fir mushrooms and woodland mushrooms that had been picked over, weighing less than five taels in total. They were all small and a little damaged. Jiang Heng had planned to go back directly, but Song Ming saw them and hadn't planned to buy any, so he just cleared out the stock for her.

Jiang Heng also gave discounts, all based on the cheapest price of woodland mushrooms.

Song Ming was immediately happy: "I took the back door again. By the way, I just thought of making mushroom sauce sushi. Don't eat dinner tomorrow, come and try my new sushi."

Jiang Heng raised an eyebrow: "Then I won't be polite."

Song Ming waved his hand: "Don't be polite, don't be polite. Eat more and give me some suggestions."

Jiang Heng agreed, waved his hand, and drove away.

On the way back, everyone had a bright smile.

It’s sold out!

Two-thirds more than yesterday, and it’s sold out!

When she got home, the first thing she did was wash up. She had eaten dinner before leaving in the afternoon and was not hungry at the moment, so she went straight upstairs, then lay on the bed, took out her mobile phone, and started calculating today's income.

Porcini mushrooms are 345 yuan, black fir mushrooms are 736 yuan, tea tree mushrooms are 518 yuan, fir mushrooms are 1170 yuan, and woodland mushrooms are 821 yuan, adding up to a total of 3590 yuan!

Including yesterday’s, the total income has reached more than five thousand!

Including the money she currently has left, it is just over nine thousand.

It shouldn't have been so little originally, but when she came back, she found that the electrical appliances in the house, which had not been lived in for several years, were all broken, some of the wires were bitten by rats, and the quilts stored in the cupboard and the exposed bed boards were moldy and unusable.

After replacing the entire set of clothes with new ones, I bought a tricycle to make it easier to travel around, and I only had less than 4,000 yuan left.

The company will pay salaries on the 8th, and there are still three days left. Jiang Heng originally wanted to wait until the salary was paid before paying the money back, but now it seems that he can pay it in advance.

If nothing goes wrong, she will be able to pay back the remaining ten thousand yuan to her uncle's family tomorrow!

Thanks Mushroom!

Jiang Heng wanted to stay up all night to practice, but considering that she almost died suddenly, although her body was mostly restored by spiritual power, her foundation was still not good, so she gave up this plan. She just planned to pick mushrooms early tomorrow morning and send some spiritual rain there, so that there would be more mushrooms. As for the mulberries, she knew during the day that the mulberries were not grown by anyone in the village and were considered ownerless, so she had already ordered some peach wood beads online.

Peach wood can carry spiritual power. After she nurtures it with spiritual power, she can use it to set up a formation. She sets up a hidden formation for the mulberry tree and her own vegetable garden, which will not only be difficult for others to notice, but also wild animals will not notice it.

In addition to this, there is also an insect repellent formation.

We also need to make one, especially for the mulberry trees. The mulberries are one by one, and because of their structure, it is very easy for various insects to remain.

Finally, he was in a hurry to plant some food for his own consumption by mid-May. However, transplanting rice seedlings was too tiring. Jiang Heng had not originally planned to grow rice. If he could make another 10,000 or 20,000 yuan from mushrooms, he could use the money to hire people to transplant rice seedlings, which would be much more efficient.

While thinking about his future plans, Jiang Heng slowly fell asleep.

The next day, I woke up at the same time.

But today, Jiang Heng did not practice immediately after washing up. Instead, he first sat by the bed near the backyard, taking advantage of the quiet night to have an ordinary local rainfall to complete today's task of watering the vegetable garden.

There is no need to inject spiritual power, and the casting speed is much faster.

But in the blink of an eye, some dark clouds gathered in this area. When they condensed to a certain extent, raindrops fell down. The tender buds that had grown in the past two days were beaten by the rain, and the leaves shook and looked pitiful at first glance.

The rain lasted about two minutes, just enough to wet the soil completely.

The leaves that have just emerged have absorbed enough water, and each one looks more energetic.

However, these changes happened late at night, and the nearest house was more than a hundred meters away, so no one noticed it at all.

After watering the plants, Jiang Heng went back to practice.

Around seven o'clock, after practicing, Jiang Heng, full of energy, had breakfast and arranged the remaining mushrooms of the past two days in a winnowing basket. The remaining ones were simply placed in the basket of the tricycle, all facing south to let them bask in the sun.

Then she took the sack and went up the mountain. The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and it was impossible to drive. Fortunately, she was not an ordinary person. She walked up the mountain slowly. After estimating that her figure could not be seen outside, she quickly quickened her pace and disappeared outside in the blink of an eye.

This time, Jiang Heng went to the area where the spiritual rain fell yesterday.

She made quite a bit of noise and didn't deliberately walk lightly, so she didn't see many wild animals the first two times she came here. However, this forest was particularly lively today. Almost as soon as she came in, she could see many hares, pheasants, big-tailed squirrels, and various flying birds.

Most of them are protected animals.

They probably came here because they noticed that the grass here was more delicious. When they saw people, they would run away in a flash. Jiang Heng pretended not to see them and did not interfere with each other. For example, when she turned out a snake from the first cluster of mushrooms she found, the snake was also scared and ran away immediately.

Jiang Heng watched the snake twist its body and disappear in front of him.

Looked very scared.

After the snake left, Jiang Heng picked off most of the grown fir mushrooms and calmly continued to look for the next cluster of mushrooms.

Maybe there was a magical rain on several hills in this area yesterday, so there were a lot of mushrooms today and the grass was more lush than before. Therefore, she filled two sacks after walking up two hills. If she filled more, the tender mushrooms inside would easily be crushed. So Jiang Heng chose to go home.

When Jiang Heng returned home and turned on his phone, he received a message from Song Ming.

[Song Ming: Look! Beef and mushroom sauce! It's really delicious!] [Song Ming: [Picture][Picture][Picture]]

The three pictures show the finished mushroom sauce, which is packed in a canned fruit bottle; one is the mushroom sauce in a bowl, which looks lighter in color; and the other is the finished beef and mushroom sauce sushi.

The photo is well taken, the beef and mushroom cubes are clearly visible, and you can tell at a glance that the ingredients are solid.

[Jiang Heng: Looks good (thumbs up)]

[Song Ming: It's not just about looking at it! It tastes amazing too. Your mushrooms are so fragrant.]

Song Ming: I made two kinds. One is a little lighter, perfect for rolling in sushi, and the other is a little saltier, like real mushroom sauce. I'll give you a bottle when the time comes. You can scoop a spoonful with your noodles. It's absolutely delicious!

[Jiang Heng: I want to eat what you said now]

Jiang Heng looked at the pictures and was looking forward to the taste. Song Ming was a good cook, and the eel in the eel sushi tasted very good. This beef and mushroom sauce would definitely be delicious too, especially since she hadn't eaten meat for several days, uh, a day!

Song Ming: Hahahaha (sunglasses)

Song Ming: Oh, right, I have something I want to discuss with you. Can I buy some average-quality mushrooms from you at a low price?

Song Ming: I'm not asking you to lower the price. I just noticed that the mushrooms you're selling look great, so they must have been carefully selected.

[Song Ming: It just so happens that I don’t need to consider the appearance of the mushrooms, as they need to be chopped up anyway.]

Jiang Heng frowned slightly, looking at the mushrooms that had accumulated over the past two days. Aside from the small amount she'd given to her aunt the other day and the two pounds Jiang Peng had taken away, there was quite a bit left. Including today's harvest, it was almost five pounds. She had originally thought of giving it away, but now she had another solution. She immediately said, "No problem. It's about five pounds now. I'll reduce the price by 20 yuan each. Is that acceptable?"

Song Ming: Absolutely!

Next, the two discussed how much to buy. Jiang Heng took pictures and sent them over. The quality was actually not much different, except that some mushrooms grew too fast and the umbrellas were cracked, and some were damaged by being squeezed against each other in the bag. However, most of the damaged areas were not big. After being exposed to the sun for a while, they looked quite energetic. Song Ming thought of the delicious mushroom sauce again, and on a whim, he bought them all.

Jiang Heng weighed the mushrooms directly at home and took photos of the weight of each item. The total price of five pounds of different types of mushrooms was 215 yuan.

Song Ming transferred the money readily.

Jiang Heng received the transfer, packed the mushrooms she wanted first, and then went to process the newly brought mushrooms. It was around eleven o'clock. She had simply swept the dirt on the roots of the mushrooms and the dirt on them. When she was about to go cook, she picked up her mobile phone and took a look.

Song Ming sent another message.

She said that after she posted it on WeChat Moments, her friend also wanted mushroom sauce and mushrooms. She didn’t buy enough and wanted to buy some at the original price.

Jiang Heng asked: [How much? ]

[Song Ming: I want three pounds of porcini mushrooms, and one pound of the rest]

[Jiang Heng: ...There are only a little over two kilograms of porcini mushrooms]

Song Ming: Then take them all. Weigh them and tell me how much they are in total.

Jiang Heng weighed the porcini mushrooms and found they were worth almost 400 yuan. The rest, added together, was exactly 708 yuan. Considering that she had sold so much without setting up the stall, she rounded off the deduction and soon received another transfer of 700 yuan.

Thinking about the balance calculated last night, I looked at the two transfers of 900 yuan each.

Jiang Heng discovered... her total funds had reached 10,000 yuan!

Five minutes later.

Jiang Heng's balance suddenly became - 126 yuan.

My uncle called me immediately: "Xiao Heng, did you sell the gold necklace your mom left you?! Didn't I tell you? Money's not a big deal. Just quit your job and rest up at home. Then go back to work. You're a college student, what are you afraid of?"

Jiang Heng: “…”

She just sold some mushrooms, does your uncle believe it?
