Leisurely Taoyuan

Chapter 60 Selling Dried Russula
When the sun was setting, Wang Xiaoyu went to the village clinic.Because Wang Xiaoying will put away the red mushrooms at night and bake them with firewood.

Wang Xiaoyu was worried that Wang Xiaoying would not be able to do it alone, so he went to help.

Seeing Wang Xiaoying collecting red mushrooms alone, Wang Xiaoyu hurried over to help put all the red mushrooms on the ground into bamboo baskets.

Then pour all the red mushrooms on a large bamboo grid and spread them out one by one.Under the bamboo grid, put a lot of charcoal for baking.

"Sister-in-law, it's getting late, you go back first, I'll just stay here!" Wang Xiaoyu thought that Wang Xiaoying was only busy with work and hadn't eaten dinner yet, so she urged Wang Xiaoying to go back.

"It's okay, I'll stay here for a while before I go back!" Wang Xiaoying said.

"But it's so late, you haven't had dinner yet, right? Don't starve you!" Wang Xiaoyu said with great concern.

Wang Xiaoying's heart warmed for no reason. Since her husband left, so many years ago, no man has cared about herself so carefully!

Because of being very close to Wang Xiaoyu, Wang Xiaoying felt uncontrollable emotions in her heart.

Feeling her heart beating very fast, she was worried that she would reveal her secrets, so she stood up quickly and said in a panic: "I, I'm fine, there are instant noodles in the canteen, I can eat a bowl of instant noodles!"

With that said, Wang Xiaoying hurriedly went to the shelf and picked up a box of instant noodles.She was so flustered that she even forgot to pour water in.

Wang Xiaoyu came up and said to Wang Xiaoying solemnly: "Sister-in-law, instant noodles still taste good after soaking them!"

Wang Xiaoyu was still a fluffy young man, he didn't think too much about what he said, but Wang Xiaoying was someone who had been there before, and when he heard this, his pretty face turned red.Afraid that Wang Xiaoyu would see it, Wang Xiaoying quickly turned her head aside.

Wang Xiaoyu didn't notice it at all, and personally picked up boiling water and poured it into the instant noodle box.

"Sister-in-law, it's ready to soak, cover it and wait for a while to eat!" Wang Xiaoyu said very carefully.

Only then did Wang Xiaoying turn her head slightly, and asked with concern: "Xiaoyu...you, you didn't eat it either...or, you want to make, make a bowl..."

Having said that, Wang Xiaoying's pretty face turned red again.

"Sister-in-law, if you don't say it, it's okay. I really feel hungry when I say it!"

Wang Xiaoyu said with a smile, and made himself a box of sauerkraut beef noodles.

So, the two gathered around the fire and ate instant noodles.

After several days of sun exposure and several nights of baking, the red mushrooms lose their moisture and become dry and wrinkled.

Wang Xiaoyu and Wang Xiaoying packed the dried red mushrooms and found that the original 200 kilograms of fresh red mushrooms were only [-] or [-] kilograms after drying.Dehydration is severe.

"Xiaoyu, what price do you plan to sell these dried red mushrooms?" Wang Xiaoying asked.

Yes, after losing so much water, if you still sell it for 150 yuan a catty, you will lose a lot.

Wang Xiaoyu said: "If more than half of the weight is lost, the price must be increased by at least half."

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Xiaoyu said, "Let's set it at 350 yuan a catty!" Drying the red mushrooms in the sun not only reduces the weight, but also takes time and effort. It is appropriate to set the price higher.

Wang Xiaoying nodded in agreement with Wang Xiaoyu's pricing, but said, "It's not easy to sell at such a high price in the countryside."

Wang Xiaoyu also thought about it, and said indifferently: "It's okay, if you can't sell it in the countryside, I'll sell it in the city. I'm sure it can be sold in the city."

Just as Wang Xiaoyu brought the dried red mushrooms home, he received a call from Xue Zhilan.

Xue Zhilan's voice was clear and pleasant, and she asked on the phone: "Wang Xiaoyu, I wonder if you have found any good medicinal materials recently? If so, don't forget to sell them to Zhilan Pharmacy."

It turned out that Xue Zhilan hadn't heard from Wang Xiaoyu for several days. She was worried that Wang Xiaoyu had dug up a good medicinal material and was bought by another pharmacy, so she called to ask about it.

Wang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Boss Xue, look what you said, as long as I dig up the best medicinal materials, I won't sell them to anyone, only to you!"

"It's just that I've been too busy to go up the mountain recently, so I haven't dug up medicinal materials, so I haven't contacted you!" Wang Xiaoyu said truthfully.

Xue Zhilan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. You must know that the medicinal materials Wang Xiaoyu dug up were of very good quality and were very rare.

"Oh, that's it..."

Wang Xiaoyu heard the disappointment in Xue Zhilan's words, couldn't bear it, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "Although I haven't dug up the best medicinal materials, I have a lot of dried red mushrooms here, I don't know if you will take them or not? "

When Xue Zhilan heard this, she suddenly regained her spirits and asked in surprise, "What? You are talking about russula, the very precious wild russula?"

Xuezhilan is very familiar with wild russula. Wild russula is delicious and has the reputation of "the king of mushrooms". It is a natural nutritious product with high nutritional value.

Russula contains essential amino acids, organic acids, vitamins, fatty acids and steroids, pigments and antibiotics.It is not only rich in nutritional value, but also has strong medicinal effects. It is a rare and precious Chinese medicinal material.

Wang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I cultivated it from wild russula, but I promise it has higher nutritional value than wild russula!"

Xuezhilan was very surprised just now, but after hearing this, she was no longer so surprised, and said with disappointment: "It turns out that it was artificially cultivated..."

You must know that under normal circumstances, no matter how good the quality of artificial cultivation is, it is not as rich in nutritional value as wild.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoyu said very confidently: "There is no evidence for what you say, why don't I bring it here for you to have a look first?"

Xue Zhilan thought about it, and thought it was okay, so she said, "Then you bring it here!"

After Wang Xiaoyu and Xue Zhilan paid their respects, they hung up the phone without any delay, and took the dried red mushrooms directly to the town for a ride to Jinshi.

Soon, Wang Xiaoyu got off the bus at Jinshi Bus Station, took a taxi, and went directly to Zhilan Pharmacy.

Xue Zhilan was in the big pharmacy, when she saw Wang Xiaoyu coming, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile.

Xue Zhilan was wearing a beautiful waist-shrinking dress, her pink arms were exposed, and her long white legs were very delicate and beautiful. She looked sunny and beautiful, which made Wang Xiaoyu, who came from the countryside, shine.

Xuezhilan was so sexy and beautiful that Wang Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a little crazy.

Xue Zhilan covered her mouth and laughed "giggle", jokingly said: "Wang Xiaoyu, have you never seen a big beautiful woman or something? Why do you always look at her blankly?"

Wang Xiaoyu blushed suddenly, feeling very embarrassed, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Seeing this, Xue Zhilan smiled charmingly: "I'm just joking with you, I see you are still embarrassed! By the way, did you bring the red mushroom you mentioned?"

Only then did Wang Xiaoyu react from his restraint, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Bring it here!"

"Take it out and have a look!" Xue Zhilan said, stretching her long, snow-white neck.

Wang Xiaoyu opened his pocket and grabbed a handful of dried red mushrooms.

There were two other clerks in the pharmacy, and they all gathered around to take a look.Mr. Xue was also in the store. He was reading a medical book. Hearing this, he also came over wearing reading glasses.

Xue Zhilan's eyes lit up involuntarily, she stretched out her snow-white hand, and picked up the dried red mushroom.

"Well, on the surface, the quality of these red mushrooms is really good!" Xue Zhilan nodded in praise.

The two guys also nodded and said, "I've never seen red mushrooms look so good after being dried!"

Xue Lao seemed more cautious, and picked up one and put it in front of his eyes carefully, saying: "Wild russula is small, while artificially cultivated ones are good in appearance, but their medicinal value is not necessarily better than that of wild russula. Therefore, we cannot judge the quality of red mushrooms by their appearance alone."
