Chapter 97: Full Moon Mushroom
When Ye Shuyi heard Sister Qiong say she had something to talk to her about, she asked, "What is it?"
Sister Qiong came over, took Ye Shuyi's hand, and slowly walked to the Four Seasons Peace Herbal Tea Shop before saying, "I found my nephew."
Ye Shuyi knew about this matter. Sister Qiong came down the mountain to seek refuge with her nephew.
Unfortunately, the other party had moved, and I couldn't find him, and I didn't know his phone number, so it was delayed for a long time.
Some time ago, Hong Shiqiong treated a patient who was suffering from a disease caused by the bites of red fire water ants.
He Yue happened to be watching from the side and immediately recognized her way of grinding medicine, which was very similar to that of a Chinese medicine doctor who had treated him before. He also said that he had recently seen the son of that Chinese medicine doctor, who was wading in deep water.
When Hong Shiqiong asked for the name, she found out that the Chinese medicine practitioner was her eldest brother, and the one wading in the deep water was her nephew.
So she went looking for it, and actually found it.
My 20-year-old nephew opened a shop that recycles base station equipment, specializing in purchasing some old base station equipment at low prices.
1990 was the time when the communications industry was undergoing a transformation and development, from analog communications to digital communications. Traditional base stations could no longer meet communication requirements, and new technologies and equipment continued to emerge.
At this time, if the old communication equipment is recycled, reassembled with professional technology, new parts are added, and new technologies are integrated, they can shine again.
If it cannot be refurbished, the parts can be dismantled and sold separately, and the metal can be recycled.
This industry had great potential at that time.
Back to the topic, after Hong Shiqiong found her nephew, he treated her warmly.
He also introduced her to a girl, saying that she was his wife, Hong Shiqiong's niece-in-law.
This is not the most surprising thing. What is even more shocking is that they actually have a son who was born last month!
At that time, having a child at the age of 20 was not uncommon. But Hong Shiqiong still felt that it was too sudden, and even now it is a little difficult to accept.
In her memory, her nephew Hong Jiahao was still a child! How come he was already a father?
Think about it from another perspective. His brother is forty years old this year and has become a grandfather?
My brother is already a grandfather! Hong Shiqiong is still a single mother!
"Shuyi, tell me, how did they develop so quickly? I have only touched a man's hand when taking his pulse." Hong Shiqiong was puzzled.
Ye Shuyi still has some of the thoughts of her original era and feels that they are too early.
"Sister Qiong, don't worry about them. You just haven't had your romantic luck yet, maybe it will come soon." She comforted him.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. As for romantic luck, it doesn't matter if I don't have any." She was still so open-minded.
Ye Shuyi asked again: "You said you wanted to talk to me about something, is this it?"
Hong Shiqiong immediately said: "No, I almost forgot about the important matter."
It turned out that her nephew was born last month and would be one month old on the 30th of this month.
My nephew wanted to have a simple full moon banquet, but he didn't know any chef.
Today, he learned that his aunt worked at Xiangjiang Small Kitchen and was also the miracle doctor behind the Four Seasons Herbal Tea Shop that had recently become popular in Hong Kong Island.
So, he asked Hong Shiqiong to ask if Ye Shuyi could be the chef, so that they wouldn't have to go to the hotel to find a chef.
"Shuyi, that's what's going on. What do you think? Is it convenient? If not, I will go and reject him tomorrow." Hong Shiqiong knew that her boss was very capable. He had made a name for himself in the Hong Kong catering industry in a short period of time and had some rich and powerful friends.
Her time is naturally precious, so it is understandable that she is unwilling to go.
Hong Shiqiong will not hold any grudge against this matter.
Unexpectedly, Ye Shuyi readily agreed: "Sister Qiong's nephew's grandson is celebrating his first month, and I'd be happy to be the chef! Do you have any requests for dishes for the banquet? Please let me know when the time comes."
Today is September 20th, and there are still ten days left.
Seeing that she agreed, Hong Shiqiong was also very happy and said that she would definitely let her nephew give Shuyi a big red envelope.
"I'll ask him about the specific requirements. Although it's a banquet, I guess it won't be very grand. It will just be a few tables of people eating together." Hong Shiqiong estimated.
"Okay, just come and tell me when the time comes."
Ye Shuyi has never tried the full moon wine party.
She knew there were some rules, but she didn't fully understand them, so she would have to ask someone for advice when the time came.
When a child's first month is celebrated, guests often bring some glutinous rice mushrooms. These are white, teardrop-shaped snacks with a slightly convex top. The convex part is dotted red with red paper dipped in water. The bottom is rounded. Inside, they're filled with peanuts and brown sugar, a deliciously sweet treat.
When she was a child, Ye Shuyi once asked adults why the top of this glutinous rice mushroom was dyed red?
The adult smiled meaningfully and said, "This is." Something like this.
I didn’t understand it at the time, but I understood it later.
Ye Shuyi just felt that this... was very vivid.
Ciba mushrooms are delicious. She can make a few plates for the full moon banquet.
After leaving the herbal tea shop, she just entered the food store when she received a call from Butler Xue.
"Miss Ye, the doctor said that Madam is restless and sleeps a lot, so she would be well-suited to a ginseng tonic. Does the herbal tea shop next door have this medicine? If not, can I buy some there? I'll reimburse you."
Ye Shuyi remembered that the strange guest gave her a hundred-year-old ginseng in the morning, which came in handy.
So she told Butler Xue that she had.
"That's great!" Butler Xue was overjoyed. "Miss Ye, can you make some soup with ginseng? Make two servings. Young Master needs some nourishment, so he should be fine. I don't know the specific soup, so you can make it yourself."
"Okay." Ye Shuyi agreed.
The phone was hung up.
Ye Shuyi went to the kitchen and saw that the ginseng from the morning was placed in the storage cabinet.
She took it out and cut a small piece.
It can’t be too much, otherwise it will overdo it and do more harm than good.
Considering that it was Ms. Fang's need and that she had made a lot of chicken soup and pork ribs soup recently, Ye Shuyi decided to cook a "Ginseng, Red Dates and Longan Soup".
Ginseng replenishes Qi, red dates replenish blood, and longan nourishes the heart and calms the mind. Combined with what Butler Xue just said, this soup is perfect for Ms. Fang.
Ye Shuyi immediately washed a small piece of ginseng and cut it into slices. Then, she removed the pits from the red dates. This not only allowed the sweetness and benefits of the dates to be better released into the soup, but also made it easier to eat without having to spit out the pits.
Next, wash the longan meat, cook it together with ginseng and red dates, and add rock sugar to taste.
After cooking for forty to fifty minutes, the soup is ready.
This soup tastes sweet but not greasy. It is refreshing, sweet and warm, and conducive to sleep.
Ye Shuyi divided the soup into two boxes and handed them to the Chen family employees who came to get the food, along with the food cooked while making the soup.
The next day, she received a special call from Xue Guanjia, saying that the soup was very effective. It worked for both the lady and the young master.
Ye Shuyi said that’s good.
However, what happened next surprised her.
Xiao Zhang didn't come to work today.
At noon, the police arrived and searched Xiangjiang Kitchen.
"Officer, what happened?" Ye Shuyi asked in confusion.
This scene seems familiar.
