Chapter 110 Cordyceps
Shen Jinan’s braised food was an instant success and was almost always in short supply. Every time she put it on the cart, it was sold out immediately.
"Girl, can you make more next time? Our kids are really greedy, but I can never get them over them."
An old lady in coarse cloth clothes spoke to Shen Jinan a little embarrassedly.
Shen Jinan had just sold the last one and was stunned when she heard this, “I’m sorry, Auntie, I’ll try to make more.”
"Well, thank you first, young lady." The old lady thanked her happily and left, leaving Shen Jinan thinking on the spot.
She could only make five or six kilograms of braised food at a time, and could only sell those six kilograms for five or six hundred coins at most. She was no longer satisfied with the status quo.
When he got on the carriage and returned to the village, Shen Jinan was still thinking about it.
"Doctor Shen is back?" Li Chunhua passed by their door and looked at Shen Jinan in surprise.
"Yes, Aunt Li, are you here to pick up Mingzi?" Shen Jinan smiled and took Li Chunhua's arm.
Li Chunhua patted her bare hands and laughed out loud, "It's almost the end of the year. Your family's clothes are already ready. I'll send them to you and bring my boy back home at the same time."
After saying that, Li Chunhua picked up the basket in her hand and showed Shen Jinan her craftsmanship.
"Auntie, your stitching is so dense, and the style is beautiful too."
Shen Jinan touched the new clothes, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
Li Chunhua felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and touched her face. "Doctor Shen, you're too kind. It's just that it's the end of the year and there's not much farm work to do at home, so I took on some embroidery work to supplement the family income. Otherwise, I don't know how I would have gotten through the New Year."
She sighed, not hiding the embarrassment at home.
There was a hint of sympathy in Shen Jinan's eyes, and then he seemed to remember something and excitedly grabbed Aunt Li's hand.
"Auntie, I have a good idea."
Li Chunhua was startled by her excitement. "What's going on?"
"Auntie, I've been busy with business these days, but I can't handle it all by myself. Why don't you come to my house and help me? I'll give you fifty coins a day."
Shen Jinan looked at Li Chunhua's expression tentatively, but unexpectedly Li Chunhua was stunned.
"Fifty wen a day?! Sister, I only make two hundred wen a month."
This was too much. Li Chunhua was almost knocked unconscious by the pie.
Shen Jinan dragged Li Chunhua into the yard without explanation. Mingzi had just finished school and asked, "Mom, why are you here?"
"Your mother is going to help out at Aunt Shen's house today. Is Mingzai okay?"
Shen Jinan hugged Mingzai with a smile. Mingzai, as a child, naturally didn't think of anything. He was just happy that he could spend more time with his mother.
At this time, Li Chunhua finally reacted and waved her hand quickly.
"Oh, how can I do this? I originally asked you to tutor Mingzi, but he hasn't paid the tuition yet. So, I'm going to help you, Doctor Shen, and you can give me fifty cents a day!"
Gu Yanqing heard the sound, walked out of the door, hugged Shen Jinan, and followed Shen Jinan to persuade.
"Aunt Li, please promise my wife that I can't help her with her studies every day. If you come, she won't have to work so hard. Besides, Mingzi is so smart, I didn't plan to charge tuition anyway."
Hearing this, under the expectant gaze of the Gu family couple, Li Chunhua agreed, and then pulled Mingzi to thank Shen Jinan.
After seeing off Aunt Li and Mingzi, Yue Buwei hurried in with a medicine basket on his back, and grabbed Shen Jinan with a mysterious look on his face.
"Girl Shen! I have something good for you!"
His old face was full of mystery, and Shen Jinan's curiosity was also aroused, and his fair little face was full of anticipation.
"Could it be that Senior Yue has found some good medicinal herbs?"
Shen Jinan smiled and exchanged glances with Gu Yanqing, who looked at her lovingly.
"Oh my, that's for sure. I, Yue Buwei, have eyes of fire and golden pupils!"
Yue Buwei patted his chest, then turned the medicine basket upside down on the ground and carefully rummaged around in it with his big hands.
There were actually a few Cordyceps! They looked like they were of very high quality!
Shen Jinan's clear eyes lit up, and he immediately took the Cordyceps from Yue Buwei's hand.
"Senior Yue, you are truly amazing!"
The climate in this area is humid, so Cordyceps can be found, but few people can find it, and even if they do, it is difficult to pick it intact.
"Girl Shen, you can't give me an extra meal at dinner tonight."
Yue Buwei folded his hands complacently, enjoying Shen Jinan's admiring gaze.
"Okay, okay! We'll have a big dinner tonight!"
Shen Jinan put the Cordyceps into his sleeve, then secretly transferred it into the system space, and praised Yue Buwei generously.
Gu Yanqing's originally sharp eyebrows softened when he saw Shen Jinan's rare lively look.
"Husband!" Shen Jinan jumped in front of him excitedly. With the blessing of Cordyceps, the detoxification pills will definitely be exchanged! By then, all the toxins in Gu Yanqing will be eliminated.
Thinking of this, Shen Jinan hugged Gu Yanqing's neck excitedly, "I'm so happy!"
Although Gu Yanqing didn't know much about medicinal herbs, he knew that Cordyceps was a precious medicinal herb. He thought Shen Jinan was happy to have obtained a precious medicinal herb.
He gently hugged Shen Jinan's slender waist, doting and helpless, "Be careful, don't fall."
"Okay!" Shen Jinan stood still obediently, and couldn't help but kissed Gu Yanqing on the face, "Husband, I will be able to cure you soon!"
Gu Yanqing's handsome face flushed, but Shen Jinan was immersed in joy and skipped to the kitchen.
"Why is Daddy blushing?" Sui Sui Huanhuan poked her little head out of the room and looked at Gu Yanqing curiously.
Gu Yanqing immediately clenched his fist and coughed, "God, it's too hot. Okay, Daddy, let me see if you two have finished your homework?"
Hearing this, Sui Sui Huan Huan quickly retracted her little head, and Huan Huan muttered, "I just saw Mommy kiss Daddy, um..."
Before she could finish her words, Sui Sui covered her mouth.
When it was time for dinner, Shen Jinan took out the medicinal wine again, and Duan Ya's eyes lit up, "Shen girl, what good news is there today?"
"Of course there are good things."
Shen Jinan smiled as she poured mellow medicinal wine for everyone. She had improved the medicinal wine in the past few days, making it taste richer and the aroma of the wine burst out immediately.
Yue Buwei immediately stood up and said proudly, "You may not know, but I found Cordyceps for Miss Shen!"
"Okay, okay, it's just a few herbs." Hong Niang took the medicinal wine and rolled her eyes at Yue Buwei. "I've been helping you keep an eye on the stall these past few days and chased away a lot of troublemakers!"
