Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Making Money
Jiang Heng felt better after earning nearly two hundred yuan in unexpected income.
She hadn't had high hopes for this task in the first place, but now it was done. Besides being happy, she was also more calm about the remaining mushrooms, feeling relieved that she had completed the task.
Thinking of the bags given by the sushi girl next door, Jiang Heng grabbed a small bag of mushrooms and handed them over one by one: "Thank you just now, I almost ran out of bags."
Song Ming didn't expect that he could get so many mushrooms just by sending a few bags.
It's quite heavy in my hand, probably about one kilogram.
Song Ming was a little embarrassed: "This is too expensive, just a few bags, how about I pay for it?"
"No, no." Jiang Heng stuffed it into her hand and immediately withdrew it, returning to her stall: "I picked this from the mountain. I didn't have any money to spend. I made enough money today. Don't worry about it."
Even including labor costs, ordinary physical work in their small city only pays 180 yuan a day, sometimes even less than 180 yuan.
Seeing this, Song Ming stopped refusing. She wasn't used to these arguments either, so she simply said, "Then how about I give you a portion of the sushi I made? It's delicious!"
He took the most expensive portion, the 18 yuan eel sushi, and handed it over, saying proudly, "This is delicious! I love eel myself, and the flavors are modified to suit our local customs. It's very popular. Would you like to try it?"
Jiang Heng took it: "Okay, thank you."
Seeing that she accepted it, Song Ming was happy and gave her some more bags. She always brought extra bags with her when she set up a stall, and it was just right that she could use them this time. "You should sell them well. These mushrooms are good to look at. How about adding WeChat? I can save a spot for you when you come over tomorrow?"
Most of the people setting up stalls here are elderly people, and she is the only young person setting up a stall here. She feels a little lonely. Now that there is someone of the same age, they naturally feel close to each other.
Jiang Heng wasn't sure whether to come tomorrow, but since the other party was showing goodwill, she didn't refuse: "Okay."
The two added each other's contact information. When another customer came to Song Ming's place, Jiang Heng returned to the stall with the sushi.
I happened to have not had dinner yet, and was planning to go back and eat, but now I don’t have to.
Open the box, pick up a piece of sushi and put it in your mouth.
The first thing you taste is the slightly salty taste of the seaweed. After biting it, the rice mixed with the fat, tender and sticky eel meat touches your tongue. It is really good, especially the sauce of the grilled eel, which is salty and slightly sweet, and goes well with rice. This sushi happens to come with rice, so the combination is just right.
There's a reason why it's so popular.
The eel she had was surprisingly fresh, the meat tender and not falling apart, and even now that it was warm, it didn't taste fishy at all.
Jiang Heng ate with gusto. She was pretty to begin with, and the streetlights behind her happened to light up. Under the warm yellow light, she lowered her eyes and savored the food carefully. People passing by couldn't help but take another look, and then some were attracted by the way she ate and went to buy sushi.
Some people were attracted by the mushrooms and picked them up and sniffed them skillfully: "Boss, this price is a bit expensive, can you make it cheaper?"
Jiang Heng still smiled politely: "Sorry, these are wild mushrooms I picked from the mountain this morning. The mountain road is difficult to walk on, so I won't bargain."
Some people were unhappy that they couldn't bargain and left the mushrooms, while others thought the quality was good and bought some.
As it approached seven o'clock, more and more people came here, and more and more people came to Jiang Heng's stall. He thought that he would not be able to sell many mushrooms, but unexpectedly, he sold most of them!
The first one to be sold was the most expensive black fir mushroom.
Maybe there are still many people who know the goods, and the quantity is not large, less than four pounds in total.
Finally, there were some fir mushrooms and a small amount of tea tree mushrooms left.
It was already eight o'clock. Jiang Heng didn't plan to wait any longer and said hello to Song Ming: "I'm leaving first."
Song Ming was surprised: "Huh? It's still early. Going back so early?"
Jiang Heng: "My home is a little far away in the village."
Song Ming immediately said: "Then you should go back quickly and be careful."
Jiang Heng smiled and drove his electric tricycle carefully avoiding the crowd and left.
——
Less than ten minutes into the tricycle's journey, the two girls who had bought mushrooms first came rushing over. Seeing the empty spot next to the sushi stand, their faces immediately filled with disappointment. "Huh? Gone?!"
"Oh, I knew it!" another person also sighed.
They were Wang Miaoyuan and Yu Gui.
The two of them bought some mushrooms and went back. It was just time for dinner, so they cooked dinner together. Among the dishes they bought in the evening was chicken legs, so they naturally chose stewed chicken with mushrooms. They followed the online tutorial step by step, and when the dish was about to be served, the aroma was so fragrant that it was enough to make people dizzy.
They usually made two dishes and one soup, but when dinner was served, they forgot about the other dish and soup and only focused on the chicken legs stewed with mushrooms.
The chicken thighs are tender and smooth to begin with. When you put them in your mouth, the rich soup and the delicious mushrooms mix together, which greatly enhances the taste of the chicken. The mushrooms are soft, tender and chewy, and have absorbed the soup. With one bite, the deliciousness of the chicken soup itself is stimulated, and the rich taste makes the two of them amazed.
Wang Miaoyuan ate while muttering, "Did we really make this? It's so delicious, right?!"
Yu Gui ate without even looking up: "Maybe our cooking skills have improved?"
"That's hilarious! Do you believe that?" Wang Miaoyuan ate the tender mushrooms in his mouth, savoring the joy of the broth bursting as he chewed the mushrooms. He felt an incomparable satisfaction from the tip of his tongue to his stomach. "I don't even want to go out to eat! Eating this every day from now on is enough!"
Yu Gui nodded in agreement: "If I can eat like this every day, why would I need to go out for a feast?"
In a blink of an eye, the two of them finished their meal and were still not satisfied. Unfortunately, the rice was gone. Looking at the remaining half, they tacitly took out the noodles and put them back into the pot to use the soup.
Then they ate the best noodles they had ever eaten.
The noodles have absorbed the double umami buff of chicken soup and mushroom soup, and they are so delicious without any extra seasoning!
After eating and drinking their fill, the two of them collapsed on the sofa and disappeared, while sending messages to relatives and friends to praise the delicious mushrooms they bought today.
As he was sending them out, Yu Gui realized something was wrong: "Ah?! Did we buy too little?!!!"
Wang Miaoyuan also sat up with a start: "Yes, I've already finished eating. What should I do tomorrow?!"
They looked at each other, and without saying anything, they quickly changed their clothes and shoes and went out.
I must buy some more!
But when they finally rushed over, they found that the tricycle was gone!
The key point is that the stall owner seemed to have come here on a whim to sell it. I don’t know if he will come again tomorrow? After all, I have never seen him before.
Cracked jpg.
Song Ming noticed the two men's somewhat frustrated expressions and immediately understood. He took the initiative to say, "I added the contact information of the mushroom seller. If you want to buy, you can add my contact information. I'll let you know when she comes tomorrow."
The two nodded gratefully. "Thank you. Let's add some! These mushrooms are really delicious." Wang Miaoyuan looked at the bag of mushrooms hanging on Song Ming's stall with envy. "The chicken and mushroom stew we made tonight was really delicious! It's completely different from those mushrooms bought in the supermarket. But we're full. We'll patronize your business again tomorrow. Sorry."
"No need to apologize. The boss even gave me a bag of mushrooms. It's my duty to greet her customers." Song Ming said with a smile. He looked at his mushrooms and felt that he had found a treasure. He would try stewing chicken with mushrooms tomorrow!

Jiang Heng, who was missed by everyone, had just arrived home.
It was almost nine o'clock when I got home. The village was very quiet at this time of the year, with only the barking of dogs shouting at each other because of her.
Their house was on the edge, and they didn't encounter anyone.
Jiang Heng drove the car into the yard, charged the tricycle first, then locked the yard door and the main gate one by one, and went in to wash up.
She had a plate of eel sushi in the evening, and since she wasn't hungry, she didn't have to cook again.
Thanks to the sushi lady.
Jiang Heng lay on the soft bed, holding her mobile phone and began to calculate today's harvest.
I earned 378 yuan from less than four kilograms of black mushrooms, 1,250 yuan from more than ten kilograms of fir mushrooms, and a total of 545 yuan from the remaining tea tree mushrooms and woodland mushrooms, for a total profit of 2,173 yuan!
Sent!
Jiang Heng's eyes sparkled, as if he was back to the time when he first entered the sect. He finally didn't have to work illegally for others, and he could grow spiritual plants and sell them to make a lot of spirit stones.
Although it was a busy time, it was also really happy.
Perhaps it was because of her good mentality. Even though she was gifted with three spiritual roots, her cultivation speed was not slow. She was comparable to some of her classmates with two spiritual roots in the sect. This made her quite valued in the sect. After entering the foundation-building stage, she was accepted as a disciple by the inner sect elders and taught personally until the golden elixir stage. She also had a certain status in the sect and had special menial disciples to take care of her.
Therefore, she no longer needed to take care of the spiritual plants. She only needed to visit her spiritual fields and animal gardens every day to temper the spiritual plants with spiritual power.
Now that I’ve put it back on, has this brought me back to my original intention?
Jiang Heng shook his head. It should be said that he has returned to his original intention.
After counting the harvest and completing the game tasks assigned for today, Jiang Heng quickly fell asleep in the quiet night with only the chirping of insects around him.
Woke up again, but it was only three in the morning.
After practicing, Jiang Heng had more energy and relatively less need for sleep, so he used the extra time to practice.
After a simple wash, I sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated.
When the technique was activated, the spiritual energy belonging to the spiritual veins in the sea of consciousness also overflowed and was guided by the technique to flow through her tendons and veins over and over again, until it finally gathered in the dantian and became her own spiritual power.
It was not until after six in the morning that the morning light began to dim.
The air in early May was moist and cool, which Jiang Heng liked very much. She picked out a short-sleeved shirt and put on a coat. She went downstairs lazily. Before opening the door, she performed a dust-removing technique in the living room and other places, sweeping away the dust accumulated in the day, and then opened the door.
Have a simple breakfast.
I used last night's leftovers, the eggs from my aunt's chickens, and the lettuce from Aunt Shen to make a dish of lettuce and egg fried rice. The chopped green lettuce was mixed with light yellow rice and golden chopped eggs. With just salt, white pepper, a small amount of soy sauce and other seasonings, it already exuded a pleasant aroma.
The good thing about being back in the village is that the food is less technological than in the city.
For example, the eggs are laid by authentic free-range chickens. They are small in size, but they taste a little more eggy than ordinary eggs bought from supermarkets. I don’t know how to describe it, but you can taste the obvious difference in taste.
Even though the vegetables are sprayed with pesticides, the pesticide residues are much less than those sold outside.
After all, if you don't use pesticides, you have to keep an eye on the vegetables all the time and kill the insects manually, otherwise you will end up with a vegetable stalk eaten by insects.
