The three of them packed their things and then turned left and right to return home.
At this time, the house was already filled with smoke from spring. The two sisters were cooking dinner in the kitchen. Tonight they steamed multi-grain noodles, fried spicy and sour potato shreds, stir-fried seasonal vegetables and cold wild vegetables, and also prepared a tomato and egg soup.
Today's dinner is still so simple. Since the three siblings of the Cheng family are all from City A, they prefer to have more rice, so they steam multi-grain rice every once in a while.
It's a change of taste.
Maybe they started cooking a little early this time. When Cheng Fangyuan came in with the fish, the food in the kitchen was almost ready, except for the tomato and egg soup.
Cheng Fangyuan smiled as he saw the two busy people. "We dug up a lot of astragalus. I think it can be exchanged for at least a hundred yuan."
The two sisters were also very surprised to hear this, especially Song Tangcheng. She knew that her husband knew about Huangqi, and seeing him so happy, it seemed that it was indeed the real Huangqi.
"That little brother is really amazing. It seems that we have to rely on him to make a fortune. The food will be ready soon. Go wash up and get ready to eat."
Cheng Fangyuan saw his wife about to beat the eggs and quickly stopped her. "Wife, stop beating the eggs. We caught some fish. I took two big ones and gave four to you, my wife."
He took out the two processed fish from the basket and placed them in front of the two men so that they could see the fish clearly.
"Wow, these fish are so big. Where did you catch them? All the fish in the river have been caught a long time ago. Where can you find such big fish?" Song Tangcheng looked at the two big fish weighing more than four kilograms and asked Cheng Fangyuan curiously.
Song Tanglan and others were also surprised when they saw the size of the fish. She had seen them breaking ice to catch fish, but the fish at that time were not as big as they are now.
"I caught it in the mountains, the same mountain as Huangqi. Few people go there, and no one knows there's a stream there, so the fish there are quite big."
Cheng Fangyuan was happy for a long time when he thought about seeing these fish. He really didn't expect there would be such big fish there. Even the smaller ones caught by Xiaohu weighed one or two kilograms.
It's no wonder he didn't want to let go. The fish they usually caught in the river were considered big if they weighed one kilogram.
"There's such a good thing! It seems you're lucky this time. But how do you prepare the astragalus root? And how do you want to eat these two fish? Braise them? Make fish soup? Or steam them?"
Song Tangzi quickly interrupted at this time. "Second sister, I know that the astragalus only needs to be dried and rubbed together to remove the skin."
"So simple?" Song Tangcheng still didn't want to believe it. The medicinal materials could be processed in such a simple way. She had heard before that preparing medicinal materials was very troublesome.
"Yes, yes, that's what the book says." Song Tangzi emphasized quickly when he saw that his second sister didn't believe him.
Song Tanglan was a little surprised to hear this. She knew nothing about Chinese medicine, so she didn't intend to interrupt and just listened quietly.
"Okay, you decide. If you can't do it, have your second brother-in-law ask the doctor. If the cooking goes wrong and no one wants it, we can just soak it in water and drink it. You haven't decided whether to braise or steam these two fish!"
After Song Tangcheng finished speaking, Song Tangzi began to hesitate. He was also thinking that he had only read about how to prepare the tea in books, but he had never tried it. If they really couldn't sell it, wouldn't their hard work be wasted? How long would it take to drink so much?
Everyone saw Song Tangzi's dilemma, smiled at each other and said nothing, but started discussing how to eat these two fish.
After some discussion, the three of them finally decided to braise one and make tomato fish soup with the other. There was no other way because they had just cut the tomatoes. If they didn't make them into a dish now, they would only be able to eat them with sugar later.
But when the dinner was finally cooked, Song Tangzi hadn't thought it through yet, and finally waited for the food to be served. Looking at the large table of delicious food, watching the other people eating dinner very quickly.
He gritted his teeth and made a decision. "I've decided. I'll sell most of it and keep some to try to make it myself. Second sister, what do you think?"
"Sure, I agree with your idea. How about I take you to the commune tomorrow when I have time?"
Although Song Tangcheng was very strict with his younger siblings, he would occasionally remind them about their choices but never got involved.
But when she heard that he wanted to make it himself, she felt that this method was too risky, so she reminded him. Seeing that he had changed his mind, she was very relieved.
I have to try all of them. If none of them succeeds, I will blame myself to death.
When Song Tangzi heard that she could go and sell it, her eyes lit up: "Second sister, are you sure you can take me with you?"
"sure."
Seeing that his younger brother wasn't frowning like before, Song Tanglan couldn't help but remind him, "I asked Brother Xu to buy something and he'll deliver it to me tomorrow. How about we ask Brother Xu if he has any connections in this area?"
The basket of tree roots weighed dozens of kilograms. My second sister must be exhausted from riding a bike with so many things and a half-grown child at the same time.
Song Tangcheng asked after hearing this. "Xiao Zi, why don't you let Brother Xu take a look first? Maybe he has some connections in this area and can sell it for more money? That way we don't have to make another trip."
"Okay, we're buying it anyway, so it's the same." Song Tangzi answered happily while eating the fish belly meat picked up by his fourth sister.
Seeing that he agreed, Song Tangcheng nodded.
