Synopsis: (Raising Cubs + Starting From Scratch + Satisfying Story + Gourmet) Han Yiyi, hearing the crying of children and the scolding of men by her ears, vaguely opened her eyes. Seeing the two s...
Han Yiyi served each of the two little children a bowl of fish soup and two thin pancakes. Watching the two children eat with such satisfaction, Han Yiyi smiled on the surface but couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It was already good enough that they could eat their fill, let alone talk about the taste.
While Han Yi and her two children were drinking fish soup and eating flatbread, Zhang's children were watching their mother bring over a large bowl of fish and placing it on the wooden table. They all unconsciously swallowed hard.
During the day, the children were out gathering firewood and cutting pig feed, so they didn't know that Han Yiyi had brought them fish. Now, seeing their mother suddenly bring out such a big basin of fish, their eyes widened in surprise.
Aunt Zhang's children are all grown up, and the youngest, Si Ni, is already eight years old. So Aunt Zhang isn't worried that they'll get fish bones stuck in their throats. She's also worried that the fish will spoil the next day, and since there are so many of them, Aunt Zhang simply stewed the whole fish and, like Han Yi Yi did, made a few multigrain pancakes.
The children rarely have the chance to eat their fill, so Aunt Zhang decided to let them have a good meal today.
In fact, the two boys, Da Niu and Er Niu, would sometimes think about catching some fish to improve their meals when they had nothing to do. However, each time they would spend half a day trying to catch only one or two fish the size of their palms. So Er Niu couldn't help but ask.
"Mom, where did you get such a big fish?" But even as she asked this question, her eyes never left the fish on the table.
Looking at the children, Aunt Zhang felt a pang of sadness. Since her husband passed away, life had been very difficult. Although they weren't starving, the children hadn't seen meat in a long time. Hearing Erniu's question, Aunt Zhang blinked away the tears in her eyes and replied.
“This was brought over by your sister Yi Yi today. She said she caught it in the stream behind their thatched hut…” she said, then turned to Da Niu.
“When you have some free time, weave two more bamboo baskets and send them to your sister Yiyi. She just moved there and has nothing at home. It’s not easy for a woman to raise two children alone. Let’s help her if we can…”
Da Niu nodded in agreement, and the family started eating. Seeing that everyone was enjoying their meal, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but remind them.
"Be careful of fish bones..."
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Han Yi got up. One reason was that she wanted to go to the back hill to find the "treasure," and the other was that she was really not used to sleeping on this wooden plank bed. In addition, the original owner was so thin that she was skin and bones, and sleeping on it for one night made her whole body ache. So she simply got up and went to the back hill.
Because she was worried that her two children wouldn't see her when they woke up in the morning, Han Yiyi told them before going to bed last night not to run around when they woke up, but to wait for her in the house. She was going to dig some wild vegetables in the back mountain and would be back soon.
Han glanced across the stream and hadn't gone far when he saw a lot of yellow things ahead. As he got closer, he discovered a large patch of chanterelle mushrooms.
According to the original owner's memories, the people here don't eat chanterelle mushrooms. Apparently, someone had been poisoned after eating them before, so no one dared to eat them anymore.
For Han Yiyi, a foodie, she naturally knew that this thing was not poisonous. Not only was it not poisonous, it was also particularly delicious. It had a delicate and chewy texture and an enticing apricot aroma. Moreover, this thing was also known as one of the four famous fungi!
As for the person who was poisoned in the original owner's memories, it was probably either because the mushrooms weren't cooked properly, or because they were allergic to chanterelles, which is why they were so unlucky.
Looking at the large patch of chanterelle mushrooms in front of her and thinking about their taste, Han Yiyi's mouth watered. Forgetting everything else, she quickly squatted down and started picking them.
When Han Yi came out, she was carrying the basket that she had shrunk from catching fish. She thought that even if she couldn't find anything to exchange for, she could still eat some mushrooms and wild vegetables, so she put all the chanterelle mushrooms she had picked into the basket.
Looking at the basket full of chanterelle mushrooms, Han Yi smiled so much that her eyes almost squinted into slits, when suddenly she heard a familiar voice beside her.
"Wild, unpolluted raw chanterelle mushrooms have been discovered. They cost 200 points per pound, and there are a total of 8 pounds. Would you like to redeem them, host?" The electronic screen appeared along with the voice.
This time, Xiaohua was smarter. She didn't ask whether to exchange the chanterelle mushrooms as soon as she found them. Instead, she waited until Han Yiyi had picked a whole basketful before asking. Hehe, she was probably worried about the same thing happening with that fish last time.
Hearing that chanterelle mushrooms could be exchanged, and that they were so expensive, and seeing the large patch of chanterelle mushrooms in front of her, Han Yiyi's eyes lit up, and she quickly clicked on the "yes" button.
"Wild chanterelle mushrooms, 200 points per pound, 8 pounds in total, 1600 points in total."
The next instant, the basket full of chanterelle mushrooms disappeared, and the points balance on the electronic screen showed 1,600 points.
At this moment, Han Yiyi didn't care about using her points to exchange for things; she decided to pick all the chicken oil mushrooms in front of her and exchange them for points first.
After picking for about half an hour, Han Yiyi finally finished picking all the chanterelle mushrooms around her, picking about 20 kilograms more. Adding the 1,600 points she had earned before, she had a total of 5,600 points.
Looking at the numbers on her balance, Han Yiyi's mouth was practically stretched to the back of her head with a smile. However, the fact that these points could only be used to buy things within the system left Han Yiyi somewhat frustrated.
She wanted to buy oil, rice, and meat, but these things couldn't just appear out of thin air. Besides, the oil in the system was all in plastic containers, and there was no plastic in this world, so she had no way to buy it.
Han Yiyi rubbed her temples, thinking to herself, "I need to think of a way to exchange the system points for the silver coins used here." She suddenly thought of ginseng, but searching the entire mountain for it was unrealistic. However, if she bought ginseng from the system and then sold it at the clinic, claiming she dug it up herself, then…
Thinking of this, Han Yiyi's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly searched for ginseng on the screen. Sure enough, the next moment, the age of the ginseng and the points required appeared on the screen.
Seeing that the smallest, ten-year-old ginseng cost 5,000 points, and the larger, twenty-year-old ginseng cost a whopping 15,000 points, Han Yiyi couldn't help but purse her lips.
With her current balance of over 5,000 points, she could only afford a ten-year supply. Moreover, Han Yiyi was confident that the ginseng in the system was all artificially cultivated forest ginseng, and even a ten-year supply might not be as effective as a five-year supply from the mountain.
Han Yiyi was a little worried. If she spent 5,000 points to buy a ten-year-old ginseng, but then couldn't find it at the clinic, wouldn't that be a waste of all the points she had worked so hard to earn?
Just as Han Yiyi was hesitating, her peripheral vision inadvertently fell on the gap between two rocks not far away. When she saw that thing, Han Yiyi was startled.
