After Picking Up the Lucky Girl, the Whole Village Became Prosperous Chapter 123

If you want to ask who is the best cook in the Jiang family now, it must be Yan Ru.

 So Yingbao handed half the basket of shrimps and half the basket of loaches to the new second aunt, and went to hunt apricots with a group of children.

It's a pity that the peaches are not very ripe yet, otherwise she would have picked some more peaches to give to Chu Yan and Chu Qing to try.

Ever since she was sure that this Chu Yan was the Chu Yan from her previous life, Ying Bao has been feeling guilty all the time.

Chu Yan must not have met a good end in his last life, and he might have been beaten by the governor not long after.

 Because he took her out of the Governor's Mansion and sent her out of the city gate, so he couldn't hide it from everyone's eyes.

 The governor hates those who betray him most. No matter what kind of betrayal, he will definitely chop off their heads with his own hands.

“Brother Chu Yan, do you like peaches?” Ying Bao raised her neck and asked Chu Yan.

Chu Yan glanced at the peach tree in front of him and nodded.

“It will be ready to eat in about ten days. Then you come to my house and I will pick peaches for you to eat.”

Yingbao enthusiastically introduced her fruit trees to Chu Yan, "There are also pears over there. They will be ripe in a month. You must come and try them."

Chu Yan had a rare smile on his face, "Okay."

Ying Bao then took him to some Fanbang vines, pointed to the bunches of green fruits under the vines, and asked, "Do you know this?"

Chu Yan nodded: "Grapes from the Western Regions."

"What?" Ying Bao was surprised, "Is this the grape from the Western Regions?" She had heard of it in her previous life but had never seen it, because only high-ranking officials in the capital had it.

 “Yeah.” Chu Yan nodded affirmatively.

 He had seen and eaten it when he was a child.

Ying Bao was so surprised that she touched the small green fruits and couldn't help but pick one and take a bite.

The sour smell immediately made her face wrinkle up, "Bah, bah! It's not delicious at all."

Chu Yan smiled and said: "It hasn't grown yet, so it won't taste good."

Ying Bao knew that the ungrown fruit was not delicious, she just wanted to make Chu Yan happy.

After introducing the fruit trees at home, Yingbao said, "Let me teach you how to grow golden ears."

She brought wheat bran and some mulberry wood chips, and taught Chu Chu and Chu Yan step by step how to grind them, how to steam and sterilize them, and then fill them into clay pots after they cooled down for later use.

 After that, he took a jar of mycelium and started to grow the fungus. He also taught them how to manage the golden ear seedlings, how to moisturize them, and how to prevent the golden ear color from fading.

Chu Chu and her two younger brothers watched carefully and studied seriously for two hours, even forgetting to eat.

 At night, Chu Yan and Chu Qing lived in Chu Chu's hut, and Ying Bao asked Chu Chu to rest with him.

Early the next morning, Chu Yan and Chu Qing went home with five cans of golden fungus mycelium given to them by Ying Bao.

Before leaving, Chu Qing cried with tears and runny nose, saying that she would come to visit her sister when he next took a break.

Chu Chu didn't cry, and happily sent her two younger brothers away.

“Ying Bao, what should we do now?” Chu Chu started to worry about whether Ying Bao would not need her after not doing any work for a day.

Yingbao looked at the sky and saw that the sky was clear today, so he said, "Let's go to the bamboo forest and chop bamboo."

There is a large bamboo forest in Yongye Field on the southern **** of the Jiang family, but these are wild bamboos that grow randomly. Although they are dense, they grow thin and small and are of no great use.

 Hence, the areas that are too dense must be removed, leaving thick areas that are conducive to growth.

“Okay, let's go chop bamboo.” Chu Chu took the new ax given by Ying Bao, put on a backpack, and followed Ying Bao to the bamboo forest.

Dani and Erni also came to join in the fun. They had been feeling busy recently, and they felt that Chu Chu was a really nice person, so they abandoned their prejudices and were willing to work and play with her.

So the three girls took a female doll to the bamboo forest.

“I heard that there is a bamboo girl in the bamboo forest, and it tastes delicious when used for cooking, but I have never seen it once.” Erni asked Chu Chu: “Have you seen it?”

Chu Chu nodded: "There is a moso bamboo forest in the mountains over my house, but it belongs to someone else's family. You can pick bamboo girls there, and the cooking and soup are really delicious."

Yingbao had never seen it before, and asked out of curiosity: "What is a bamboo girl?" "It's a kind of mushroom, also called bamboo fungus." Chu Chu said: "When will I go back to pick some and bring them to you to try."

Yingbao nodded.

A few people came to the bamboo forest, first alerted the snake, and then walked inside step by step.

“Let's chop it from here.” Yingbao pointed to this piece of bamboo, “Chop the small ones and leave the thick ones.”

"Okay." Chu Chu and Dani began to chop bamboo. Yingbao and Erni dragged the thin bamboos they chopped out of the bamboo forest and piled them aside.

These bamboos can be dragged back and used as firewood for the fire. Even if they are not good enough, they can also be made into large brooms.

However, Yingbao wants to use these bamboos for great use. She wants to use them to extract some fresh bamboo and drain them.

Fresh bamboo juice has the effect of clearing away heat and reducing phlegm.

It can be used for symptoms such as cough due to lung heat with excessive phlegm, asthma and chest tightness, stroke with strong tongue, excessive phlegm and saliva, and convulsions due to phlegm heat in children.

The four little sisters were working hard when suddenly several people walked over quickly.

 The leader was seven-year-old Wei Zhan. He quickly ran to Yingbao, tilted his head and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Ying Bao said angrily: "I'm working."

Wei Zhan saw that the little baby's face was red from exhaustion and the sweat was running down her neck. He resisted the urge to help her sweat and said, "I'll help you."

"No need." Ying Bao didn't want to be nagging this brat from the Wei family, so she dragged two thin bamboos away.

Wei Zhan was not discouraged and followed her and said, "Aren't you tired? Can I ask the guards to help you?"

"I'm not tired. Get out of the way!" Yingbao threw away the bamboo and continued into the bamboo forest to drag the next wave.

Wei Zhan also wanted to follow, but was stopped by his attendant, "Young Master, there are snakes in here, you can't go in."

"Others are not afraid of snakes, but you are. You are no better than a few-year-old baby. What use do I need from you?" Wei Zhan glared at the guard dissatisfied.

 The guard lowered his head and was speechless.

At this time, Chen Zhao and Chen Tiantian came over panting, tired and fanning themselves with handkerchiefs.

"Seventh Young Master, what are you doing here?" Chen Tiantian took a handkerchief to wipe Wei Zhan's sweat, but Wei Zhan pushed him away.

 “Stay away from me!” Wei Zhan scolded rudely.

 Chen Tiantian's face flashed with embarrassment, but she quickly smiled and said: "Seventh Young Master, the eldest Young Master asked us to take you around, but this place is desolate and there will be wild beasts. Look..."

 “Get out!” Wei Zhan said arrogantly: “Who wants you to take it with you?”

Chen Tiantian was almost in tears after being scolded. She took a step back and did not dare to say anything.

Chen Zhao rolled his eyes at her, thinking that he deserved it.

Step forward and ask carefully: "Seventh Young Master, let's take a rest here. I think it's quite cool here."

She could see that Young Master Wei Zhan liked the Jiang child very much. If she dared to say anything to make him unhappy, she would probably end up like Chen Tiantian.

 So you have to brush your hair down to please him.

Wei Zhan nodded with satisfaction, asked the guards to clean up the area, and then sat on a tree stump to rest and enjoy the cool air.

“Wow! Bamboo girls! So many bamboo girls!” Chu Chu screamed loudly in the bamboo forest.

Yingbao ran over to check and saw some mushrooms with white skirts growing in an open space deep in the bamboo forest. Chu Chu was picking the mushrooms one by one.

“This is Bamboo Girl?” Ying Bao saw this kind of mushroom for the first time and was a little doubtful whether they were really edible.

Chu Chu laughed and said: "It's Miss Bamboo. I didn't expect it to be here. Now we are in luck."

Seeing how determined she was, Yingbao also helped to pick the bamboo shoots. She picked a dozen bamboo shoots in total.

 She put these white mushrooms into a basket and prepared to take them back to show her mother-in-law.
