The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

Jiang Ziyan rented a small courtyard with all the things in it, and he could live in it with a little tidying up.

After settling in, there are still a few days before the government examination. Jiang Ziyan plans to go out more these days to see how Linzhou City is developing, while Lin Zhao is reviewing at home.

Jiang Ziyan wandered around the city of Linzhou for two or three days, and he probably knew something about the market here.There are several bazaars in Linzhou City, and each bazaar mainly sells different things.

Most of the exquisite jewelry shops and some decorations opened in Dongshi.Nanshi is generally called the tile market. Anyone who needs to repair a house will basically come here, and most of the people who come here to set up stalls are masons.And the West Market is the legendary vegetable market. There are vegetables, fruits, live fish, poultry, etc., and there are a lot of good and bad people. They basically sell everything, and the prices are relatively cheap.

Moreover, Linzhou's rule is that every five-numbered day in the middle of the month is a big market. People in nearby villages will bring things to the market to set up stalls, and people in the city will always choose these days to come out to buy things.

This day happened to be the fifth day of April, and Jiang Ziyan and Zhang Qiu went out to the West Market together to see if they could find some surprises like chili star anise.

The yard he rented was not far from the West Market, and the rent for houses in this area was relatively cheap compared to other places.

After turning two streets, we arrived. Since today is a big market, there are several times more people setting up stalls in the West Market than usual, and there are many more people coming to the market than usual.Beside some fixed booths, there are many temporary booths that are fully occupied.

Since the stalls on both sides were full, the middle of the road was not very spacious. Jiang Ziyan walked around the market, but he didn't see anything special, so he was a little disappointed.

When he was about to walk to the end, he suddenly noticed a remote corner. In the corner, there was a black and thin boy who looked to be only eight or nine years old. His hair was pulled up and wrapped in a cloth towel, and there was a big basket in front of him.

Maybe it was because his booth was too far away, or maybe it was because he kept silent and didn't sell as much as other booths, which caused his business to be deserted and almost no one paid attention to him.

Jiang Ziyan couldn't help thinking of Lin Zhao in the past. He remembered the first time he saw Lin Zhao selling wild game in the town market, and he seemed to be like this.

Sympathy drove him closer, and he wanted to tell him that this is not how to sell things.

But when he approached, he realized that the bamboo basket in front of the boy was filled with matsutake.

It's just that the matsutake in the box doesn't look fresh, it should have been air-dried.After all, things like matsutake usually grow in autumn, and now after a winter, there are still so many preserved, and they can only be stored for so long if they are dried in the sun.

But even dried it has high nutritional value.

Linzhou is located in the southwest, with many mountains and trees in the southwest, so it is not surprising that there are matsutake mushrooms.

Matsutake has always been known as the king of fungi, which shows how high its nutritional value is.It can protect the liver, moisturize the intestinal tract, and has anti-aging and beauty-beautifying effects.

Generally, matsutake and old hen are stewed together, and the soup made is very nutritious.

Jiang Ziyan squatted down in front of the bamboo basket in front of the boy, and carefully identified it. It was indeed a matsutake. He had seen it before in his previous life, so he would not be mistaken.

Before he asked the price, the boy's round eyes were full of joy. He had been here for a long time, and only this one was interested in his mushrooms.

He asked in a crisp voice: "Are you going to buy mushrooms?" Those bright eyes were full of anticipation, looking forward to the affirmative answer from the other party's mouth.

Jiang Ziyan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and said, "You said it was a mushroom?"

Zhang Qiu, who had been following him all the time, interjected, "What the hell is right, what is this mushroom?"

Only then did Jiang Ziyan realize that the people here probably didn't know matsutake, but just because it had a cap and a white stem underneath, they mistook it for a mushroom.

"You... mushrooms, how do you sell them?"

Hearing someone asking about the price, the boy was even happier. When he came, the price he had set was three Wen a catty.But now he didn't dare to pay for it anymore, he was afraid that the only person who came to ask the price would think it was too expensive and would not buy it, maybe this was the only person who was willing to buy it today, so he didn't dare to take the risk.

After hesitating, he quoted a price: "Two Wen, only two Wen per catty."

The mother in the family is sick, and the younger sister takes care of her at home alone.On weekdays, I have to eat and buy medicines, and the family savings quickly bottomed out.

This is the first time he came out to set up a stall to sell things.Originally, these were kept for winter, but they were not eaten because of too many picks.But the family was really short of money, so he had no choice but to try his luck.

Jiang Ziyan had never seen such a cheap matsutake, which was very expensive in his previous life.

Although the people here don't know what to buy, but looking at the boys who set up the stalls in white washed clothes with a few patches on the cuffs, you can tell that the life in the other's family is not good.

Jiang Ziyan thought that he couldn't take advantage of a child.He took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "I want all of these in your bamboo basket, so there's no need to look for them."

The boy was so excited that he was almost speechless, "This, this, this is too much, I don't need this much at all." He was a little flustered, and he was a little bit embarrassed when he wanted to change but couldn't get it.

Jiang Ziyan said, "It's not too much, you can take it!" By the way, he gave him a little science, "This thing is not a mushroom, it has a name, it is called matsutake, and it is a kind of thing with very high nutritional value and very good for the body. So this The price to buy your matsutake or I earned it!"

The boy was stunned, it was the first time he met such a kind person, not only told him what it was, but also paid him so much money so honestly, and spoke very softly, he thought maybe God finally saw his plight , specially sent to help him.

This tael of silver is life-saving money for him. His mother has been off the medicine for several days, and her condition is getting worse day by day. With this money, he can go buy medicine for his mother.

"It's just that I can't get these things. Can you deliver them to my place?" The two big men, Jiang Ziyan and Zhang Qiu, only took a cloth towel when they went out. A bamboo basket of matsutake can't hold it.

When the boy heard that he was asking for help to deliver things, he quickly agreed, "Okay, no problem!"

After buying matsutake, Jiang Ziyan was ready to go back. On the way, Zhang Qiu was naturally carrying a bamboo basket, followed by the boy.Although he is thin, he is very vigorous. Looking at his dark skin and the calluses on his hands, he knows that he has worked in the fields in the past.

He was only eight or nine years old and was about to go to the fields to help the family, and he was obviously only at the age of elementary school.

Nothing happened on the road, Jiang Ziyan asked: "What's your name? How old are you this year?"

The boy had a very good impression of Jiang Ziyan, and he answered whatever he asked, "My name is Ge Heidan, and I am nine years old. Everyone calls me that because of my black hair."

Jiang Ziyan frowned, "Don't you have an official name?"

Ge Heidan shook his head.

Jiang Ziyan knew that the older generation used to give such nicknames to the younger generation in the family, saying that a humble name was easy to support.It's just that I didn't expect to be so big in this country and still not have a big name.

"Okay, Heidan, where did you pick these matsutake?"

"On the mountain in the north, my mother would take me to dig wild vegetables on the mountain when there was nothing to eat at home. Later, I found out that this is edible, but the taste is mediocre, barely enough to fill my stomach."

The two streets walked quickly and arrived in a short while.

After pouring out the matsutake, the bamboo basket vacated and returned to Ge Heidan's back.

After Ge Heidan left, Zhang Qiu asked: "Brother Yan, you really said that, what kind of matsutake? I saw it as a mushroom! Don't you admit it wrong? It's worth a tael of silver Woolen cloth!"

Jiang Ziyan smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and signaled him to relax, "Don't worry, brother Zhang, I won't admit it wrong, this is matsutake, it's really worth spending a tael of silver, trust me, this thing is stewed The soup is nourishing, nourishing and beautifying, and it tastes good, it’s just that they don’t know how to make it, so I’ll make it for you later on.”

Here, Ge Heidan came out of Jiang Ziyan's and went to the pharmacy to get some medicine for his mother, then went to a small stall to buy two big buns, wrapped them in cloth and put them in bamboo baskets, and headed home all the way. run.

Ge Heidan's home is not too far from Linzhou City, it is a small village near the outside of the city.

The door squeaked, and the people inside hurried out to meet him when they heard the movement.

"Brother, you're back, how are you? Have you sold it?" It was a round-faced little girl, Ge Heidan's younger sister, who asked this question.

Ge Heidan smiled, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and said: "Well, today I met a kind person who said that the ones I sold were not mushrooms, they were called matsutake, and they bought them all at a very high price. !"

"Really!" The little girl was very happy.

"Of course it's true, I even bought you a big steamed bun!" As he spoke, he took out the cloth-wrapped thing from the bamboo basket, and when he opened it, there were two steamed meat buns.

The little girl was even happier. She picked up one of them and put it in her mouth, chewing and yelling that it was delicious.

Seeing her eating happily, Ge Heidan was also very happy. He wrapped another bun and prepared it for his mother.

"By the way, how is Mother's health today? I went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and you can fry it for Mother later."

Speaking of this, the little girl's face was full of sorrow, and the buns in her mouth were no longer fragrant, and she said, "Mother coughed up blood again today."

She paused, then asked again: "Brother, when do you think mother will get better?"

"Don't worry, didn't I buy the medicine? Mother will get better after taking the medicine." Ge Heidan comforted her by touching her head.

My younger sister is only six years old, and she already knows how to boil water, cook and wash clothes by herself.But there is no way, they lived with their mother since they were young, and everyone said that his father didn't want them anymore, and if they didn't do it themselves, no one would do it for them.

After entering the room, Ge Heidan looked at the woman lying on the bed, she seemed to be haggard at the age of less than thirty, with sunken eye sockets and pale face.

"Get out!"

He heard her yelling as soon as he came in, and he still hated him as always.

He took out the meat bun and put it in her hand, and said crisply: "I made some money today and bought you medicine. You will be fine after you take the medicine."
