Scholar's Sweetheart

"Sister, why do you take my brother's clothes to wrap it? There's so much mud and dirt!" Xiao Bao pleads for Dabao's old clothes.

Song Xintong carefully put matsutake, which is about three jin, in Dabao's basket. "Xiaobao, these fungi can buy many new clothes for your brother. Don't worry about it!"

Xiaobao cried out, "really? Really? "

Song Xintong's ears hurt because of the noise, "Shh, keep your voice down."

"Oh." Xiao Bao covers his mouth.

"This place can't be told, you know? We'll see the new ones in a few days Song Xintong said.

"Yes, yes." Xiao Bao answers in a series of voices.

Dabao looked around. "Elder sister, there are big pine trees over there. Let's see if there are any more."

Song Xintong naturally did not want to miss this opportunity, and immediately agreed: "good."

The three walked around for a little while, and found some next to some big pine trees, but they didn't have much, and they were only five or six Jin in total.

"Well, let's go home first." Now it's only three minutes after Shenshi, song Xintong thinks that if he can go home early and sell it to the owner of Jixiang restaurant in the city, he should be a discerner.

Sister and brother each carry their own basket back, the speed is much faster than when they came.

As soon as I got to the hillside, I heard aunt Xie's excited cry, "Xintong, come back soon, there are guests at home!"

Is there a guest? Song Xintong was surprised. What kind of guests?

"Let me carry it. Go back and greet the guests." Aunt Xie ran over and took song Xintong's basket.

"What guest?" Song Xintong asked.

"It's the owner of that restaurant. He's very well dressed." Aunt Xie ran slightly panting, "I can't call you, you go back to have a look, saying that you came to look for you."

The owner of the restaurant? The lazy owner Xu? What is he doing here? Song Xintong frowned, then took Xiaobao's basket and went home.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Xu Ming'an standing by the fence with a folding fan. Looking at the lush pumpkin tips growing next to the house, I saw song Xintong coming back and asked, "Miss Song, this kind of pumpkin tip is very elegant and good for cooking."

Song Xintong smiles at him. People who are used to eating delicacies think it's good to eat this kind of vegetables. "Mr. Xu, sit down first. I'll take my two younger brothers to wash their faces."

"Go ahead." Xu Mingan gently shakes the fan, easy to talk, but his lazy eyes fall on the basket carried by song Xintong.

"The master, and the previous blood skin vegetables were also sent by Miss Song. I'll ask her to prepare some more?" Zhu saner waited on him carefully.

"Later." Xu Mingan pointed to the weeds in the field, "you were also born to a farmer. What kind of weeds might you eat?"

Zhu san'er looked at the weeds that his master pointed to and shook his head. "These are all for pigs."

Xu Ming'an's face was pale, very disgusted and said: "the same farmers, how can people have so many?"

Zhu san'er said bitterly, "master, I've been with the shopkeeper since I was five years old. How can I recognize the grass in the field?"

"Nothing." Xu Mingan took up the folding fan and hit Zhu saner on the head.

Song Xintong wiped his face and washed his two younger brothers' faces. Then he came out of the room and gave them tea: "Mr. Xu, what are you doing here?"

Xu Mingan smiles and realizes that she is not happy with herself. She twisted her brother's face that day and offended her. She touched her nose and said, "passing by, I heard Zhu saner say that Miss Song lives here, so I came to have a look."

Zhu saner: Master, it's your slander. You want to eat this fresh food.

"So it is." Song Xintong light smile, "that Xu childe slowly look, although our peach blossom village is a remote place, but win in the green mountains, fresh air."

"Indeed, surrounded by mountains and overlapping peaks, it's a good place." Xu Mingan said with a smile.

"But it's my old lady in the yard, with such a strong smell of water, who has wronged Mr. Xu." Song Xintong also said.

Smell speech, Xu Mingan inhaled nose, really smelled a smell of water, don't say don't feel, a say how so thick? Very disgusted wrinkled nose: "song girl's home is washed how many pairs of water ah?"

"Eight or nine." Song Xintong said.

"Is Miss Song doing business?" Zhu san'er asked curiously.

"Yes, I sell water and leftovers every day." Song Xintong looked at Xu Mingan with a smile, "Mr. Xu, do you want to try my craft?"

"No, no, No The last thing Xu Ming'an likes to eat is pigs in the water,

Zhu san'er said, "no wonder the girl asked me for chicken feet and duck feet."

Xu Mingan immediately understood, "every day there are so many restaurants left, it's better to give them to miss song."

Zhu saner understood, "Cheng, Gai ming'er will send the remaining chicken feet and duck feet to miss song."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Song Xintong is not polite either. After all, having chicken feet and duck feet is also an income.

"Thank you, no one likes it." Xu Ming'an said to Zhu san'er, "don't go to other restaurants, but also give it to miss song."

"Yes, master."

Xu Ming'an took a sip of coarse tea and said, "Miss Song, I watched you just enter the mountain. I don't know if you have harvested any fresh mushrooms?"

Finally mentioned the topic, song Xintong will carry the basket over, "only five Jin of gray spores."

Xu Ming'an nodded and motioned to Zhu san'er to take it. "The girl also mentioned a basket with clothes in it before. What's the cover there?"

"Just clothes." Song Xintong conceals it.

"But I smell a strong aroma, mixed with the smell of fungus." Xu Mingan said.

Song Xintong smiles, showing a face that has been exposed. "As expected, nothing can hide from Mr. Xu. Those are some fungi I collected."

"Let me see." Xu Ming'an has a hunch that the fungus is very good.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Xu." Song Xintong went into the house, picked out Mo Yue's two catties, and then took out all the rest of the basket, "Mr. Xu, please have a look."

"Why cover it up?" Xu Mingan took off his clothes and looked inside. The brown fungus was bright in color. Its flesh was thick, tender and smooth. Moreover, it grew evenly and had a faint aroma.

"It's easy to get old quickly after you take it off, so you should wrap it up and put it in a cool place. You can keep it for four or five more days." Song Xintong said.

"You mean it won't last long?" "Why don't you keep it dry?" Xu asked

"It usually takes no more than seven days from the time it is unearthed to maturity. After it matures, it will age rapidly. These should have been unearthed for two or three days." Song Xintong explained, "after drying, it will have less aroma and value. It's better to pick it and eat it."

"So it is." Xu Mingan nodded, "what's its name?"

"Matsutake." Song Xintong said, "often eat can strengthen essence and kidney, brain and intelligence, suitable for the weak."

"Good name." Xu Mingan covered his clothes and said, "I'm signaling to the old lady to eat. I'll take all these."

"I'm not going to sell it." Song Xintong said.

Xu Mingan was slightly surprised: "why?"

"Because of its high value, I want to save it for my two brothers." Song Xintong said grandly, looking at the two younger brothers who had grown some meat, "so..."

Xu Ming'an looked at the two boys and said, "please give up your love to miss song. I will not treat her badly."

"And Miss Song is so close to the mountain, I think I can find it again for the second time and the third time."
