People strolling through the market were astonished by the size of the snow fungus that Xiao Yunying displayed, and gradually a crowd gathered around her.
Some people had never seen snow fungus before and asked, "Miss, what is snow fungus?"
Xiao Yunying replied, "This snow fungus, like ginseng, is a rare delicacy that grows in the mountains."
"Ginseng? That's a wonderful thing! Can this white fungus also cure diseases and save lives?"
Xiao Yunying simply wanted to use the name of ginseng to subconsciously make people think that snow fungus is a good thing. Although she wanted to sell snow fungus, she wouldn't unscrupulously exaggerate or boast about it.
"Although snow fungus can't save lives, it's a good tonic for the body. Snow fungus has the effects of tonifying the kidneys, moisturizing the intestines, benefiting the stomach, replenishing qi, harmonizing blood, strengthening the heart, invigorating the body, nourishing the brain, refreshing the mind, beautifying the skin, and making the skin tender. Long-term consumption may even prolong life."
Moreover, snow fungus has no taboos and doesn't have the bitter medicinal taste of other tonics; on the contrary, it tastes quite good and can be eaten by men, women, the elderly, and children alike.
A young woman became interested: "Beauty and skin rejuvenation? Is what you're saying true?"
"It is true that snow fungus is moisturizing without being greasy. It has the functions of invigorating the spleen and stomach, replenishing qi and clearing the intestines, promoting sleep and strengthening the stomach, nourishing yin and clearing heat, and moisturizing dryness."
Regulating the body is a process that works from the inside out. When you are healthy inside, you will naturally have a radiant complexion. If you don't believe me, you can always ask a doctor.
However, I must clarify one point beforehand: snow fungus is not a panacea. If you want to use snow fungus to regulate your body, eating just one plant will not be effective; you need to consume it over a long period of time.
Treating the body is a gradual process; after all, even with ginseng as a medicine, no doctor would dare say that taking one ginseng root at once will cure an illness.
Someone said, "How can we eat something so expensive every day?"
Xiao Yunying smiled and said, "There's no need to eat it every day. Eating it once every few days is enough. My snow fungus is big. Every time I eat it, I break off a piece and soak it in water. One plant is enough for one person to eat five or six times."
If you simply want to invigorate your spleen and stomach, replenish qi and cleanse your intestines, and moisturize dryness and strengthen your stomach, you should be able to feel the effects after eating just two or three plants.
A girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old asked curiously, "How do you eat this?"
"You can make snow fungus and lotus seed porridge. Soak the snow fungus in cold water until it expands, wash it clean, remove the stems, tear it into small pieces, and cook it with lotus seeds and glutinous rice into porridge. If you have the ingredients, you can add some longan pulp, goji berries, and red dates. This porridge can clear heat and relieve summer heat, beautify the skin, replenish qi and blood, and nourish the mind."
If you don't like porridge, you don't need to add glutinous rice. Just add a little more water and cook it into a thick soup; the effect will be the same.
It can also be made into a snow fungus and pear soup. Replace the glutinous rice and lotus seeds with peeled and cored pears, add lily bulbs and goji berries, and simmer for 15 minutes. This soup nourishes yin, clears heat, moistens the lungs, and resolves phlegm, making it very good for coughs.
Those around were amazed, never expecting that snow fungus had so many benefits.
The young woman bit her lip: "Five taels a plant, can't you make it cheaper?"
"Sister, look at my snow fungus. The ear-shaped flowers are large and loose, the flesh is thick, the color is white with a slight yellow tinge, the stem has no black spots, and the shape is round and neat. It is truly the best snow fungus."
I risked my life to gather these in those deep mountains and forests. After bringing them back, I had to clean them carefully, process them, and dry them in the sun. It was a lot of work and effort, so I really can't make it any cheaper.
Upon hearing the word "sister," the young woman lost her senses: "Fine, then give me five."
Wow, it's a big client.
The white fungus in the basket was uniform in size, almost all about the same size, so there was no need to pick and choose.
They lined up and took five and put them into the woman's basket. The woman then handed them a twenty-five silver note.
Out of habit, she looked up at the sun to check the watermark, only to realize that this wasn't the currency she was familiar with.
She doesn't recognize him, so it probably isn't fake.
The woman noticed that Xiao Yunying didn't recognize banknotes and explained, "Banknotes from Tonghe Money Shop can be used throughout the entire Yi Kingdom."
Xiao Yunying folded the silver note twice and put it in her bosom, actually putting it in the supermarket:
"Although I don't know her, I trust my sister."
With one person taking the lead, everyone started scrambling to buy, pushing the old woman who had asked the first question aside.
"I'll take three."
"I'll take five."
"I didn't bring enough money. Let me try two plants first."
The old woman got anxious: "Don't push! I haven't bought mine yet, I was here first."
"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll save some for you."
If she hadn't given him the opportunity to advertise, his business wouldn't be doing so well.
"I need ten, but I don't have anything to put them in. Miss, could you please deliver them to me? I'll give you more money in return."
"Sure, I'll buy these and deliver them to you. Where do you live?"
"Deliver it to the second Chen family residence on Liumen Street in the east of the city. Knock on the side door and tell the old woman at the gate that you are looking for the kitchen manager to deliver the snow fungus."
"Okay, I'll remember."
After seeing off the head housekeeper of the Chen family, Xiao Yunying busied herself with the other guests.
In less than half an incense stick's time, the entire basket of snow fungus was sold out.
Xiao Yunying casually tossed the silver notes into the supermarket as if she were putting them into her bosom. Some people could afford silver ingots, but they were too conspicuous to move, so she wrapped them in a cloth and put them in her basket to carry when she went to deliver goods.
