Chapter 84: Harvesting Mushrooms and Fungus
It turned out that the first person who thought of improving his life by selling medicinal herbs was Ran He.
Thinking back to what had happened before, the village chief thought to himself that no matter what, he should not create unnecessary grudges with Ran He.
In this land of opportunities, living in harmony and helping each other may be the royal road to a prosperous life.
The village chief's brows were furrowed, and the regret in his heart was as lingering as a mosquito in summer.
He had no connection with the Gu family and acted purely on impulse. However, he never expected that this action would involve himself in a dispute with Ran He.
The current situation was one where both sides were on the verge of a fight, as if they had become sworn enemies overnight, which made him sigh inwardly.
Just as he was immersed in self-blaming thoughts, a hurried call came from outside the door, interrupting his thoughts. "Is the village chief at home?"
The voice was slightly anxious and penetrated the quiet air.
"Is something wrong?"
The village chief's response seemed absent-minded. He was so full of worries that even his answer seemed perfunctory.
Seeing the door slightly ajar, Xiao Gou Dan, who was standing outside, quickly poured out all his doubts, "Village Chief, I heard that Ran He is buying mushrooms and fungus at an absurdly high price, 10 cents per pound! This news has spread like wildfire, and everyone is saying that she is crazy."
Hearing this, the village chief was also stunned, and his heart was full of doubts. Like the villagers, he was also wondering why Ran He wanted to buy so many of these mountain products.
At this time, a villager suggested expectantly: "Village head, since Ran He has this need, why don't we take this opportunity to mobilize all the women in the village to pick mushrooms and fungus together? We can sell them to her after the harvest. In this way, everyone can make a profit, which is much better than the men working hard to do odd jobs in the town."
What he said made sense. It could not only make the villagers' lives a little better, but also earn some face for the village chief himself. It was truly a win-win solution.
However, the village chief couldn't help but recall Ran He's cold words that day. The displeasure and confusion at that moment surged into his mind again, and he couldn't help but ask himself: Does Ran He really need the mushrooms from our village?
His wife noticed his hesitation and encouraged him firmly, "Why don't you go ask Ran He yourself? You're the village chief, she won't reject your request in person, right?"
In the wife's view, her husband, as the head of the village, would definitely use this status to make this happen and gain real benefits for the village.
When the woman who made the suggestion heard this, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
In Xiaohe, everyone has talked about Ran He in private. Her previous disdain and indifference have now turned into a situation where she needs help from him. This change is really regrettable.
If the village chief takes action personally, those concerns will naturally disappear.
After all, neighbors value personal relationships. Since Ran He lives in Xiaohe, it is only natural for him to give face to the village chief.
In this way, under the active instigation of his wife, the village chief finally decided to go to Ran He's home to find out what was going on.
At the same time, Ran He had just returned from shopping in the town. When she stepped into the yard, she saw the rabbits in the pen leisurely chewing fresh vegetables. Her three children, like three chubby little radishes, were squatting outside, watching the lively rabbits intently, their eyes full of curiosity and love.
"Children, mother is back. Tell me what you want to eat for lunch today and I will make it for you myself."
As Ran He spoke, he put down the heavy backpack and took out the carefully selected items inside one by one.
The children have long been accustomed to the fact that their mother always returns with a full load every time she goes to town, but every return always brings them endless surprises and expectations.
Xiao Bao licked his lips. Although he had plenty of meat on weekdays, he could never forget the sweet and delicious braised pork. "Mom, we want to eat braised pork today!"
He couldn't wait to make the request.
Hearing this, Ran He gently pinched his little nose, his eyes full of doting.
In her heart, every wish of her child is the direction of her efforts. "Okay, we'll have braised pork for lunch today. But remember to wash your hands after eating the rabbit, and help your mother pick the vegetables she bought."
The simple conversation was full of warmth and love, and the warmth of home flowed slowly in this small courtyard.
She did not spoil her children, but let them do everything they could, hoping that they would learn to be independent from an early age and experience the reality and difficulty of life.
Although the children grumbled occasionally, they understood their mother's good intentions and got busy with their work quickly.
"okay."
Ran He responded and walked into the kitchen, which was a warm and homely place.
She skillfully opened the small door hidden in the corner of the kitchen, which was the entrance to the space where she kept her secrets.
From the seemingly endless void, Ran He carefully took out a piece of premium pork belly that he had ordered this morning. The meat was tender, with alternating fat and lean parts, and the color was attractive. It was simply the best choice for making braised pork.
The meat was cut into small, even pieces, and crystal clear rock sugar and various seasonings were placed in order. When everything was ready, Ran He lit the firewood under the stove. The flames jumped and licked the bottom of the pot happily.
The sugar color gradually melts into amber in the hot oil, emitting an enticing sweet aroma. It is the perfect time to add water and seasonings.
Then, the carefully cut pork belly was gently slid into the pot, with the sound of puffing accompanied by the rising of steam, and the whole kitchen was filled with a mouth-watering aroma.
Just as Ran He was immersed in this daily happiness, there were suddenly a few knocks on the door, interrupting the tranquility.
She thought that maybe it was the kid Xiaogoudan who brought some fresh mushrooms again.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.
In the corner of the yard, there is a basket of mushrooms picked by Xiao Gou Dan. They lie quietly in the shade, maintaining the freshness and vitality of the forest.
Although she planned to dry the mushrooms and store them, she did not put them into that magical space, perhaps because she wanted them to breathe the natural breath for a while longer.
However, when Ran He opened the door, she was a little surprised by the visitor in front of her - it was the village chief whom she rarely interacted with.
The last time the Gu family came to cause trouble, the village chief stood on their side without hesitation, which made Ran He not have much good impression of him.
At this moment, he came uninvited, with a look of embarrassment and uneasiness on his face, as if he felt that his arrival was not appropriate.
"I heard you were harvesting mushrooms and fungus?"
There was a hint of temptation in the village chief's words.
Ran He couldn't help but frown, secretly wondering how the news spread so quickly.
The innocent puppy Dan accidentally revealed this little secret during a conversation with his friends?
Ran He did not intend to blame Xiao Goudan for his unintentional mistake.
After all, it is understandable that a child could collect so many mushrooms and fungus in the mountains, which would arouse people's speculation.
