Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 309: The Country Bumpkin Enters the City

"really?"

"It has spread throughout the village, how could I lie to you?" Wang Shan said quickly when he saw Liu Zhushan's face full of disbelief.

Liu Zhushan asked: "What do you think?"

"Of course I'll give it a try. I can raise chickens, so I might as well give raising bees a try. What if I can succeed?"

Wang Shan exclaimed that he had even asked Xu Yuan for advice on how to raise the bees. Everything had been done, and the only thing left was to deal with the native bees.

"So, you're telling me that you want me to help you catch wild bees in the mountains?"

"Yeah." Wang Shan nodded.

"But we haven't caught one before, aren't you afraid of getting stung?"

"Don't worry, I have already made an agreement with Chongli, he will take us there. I heard that the girl Xuyuan spent thirty cents to post a notice board to ask the capable people in the village to help her go up the mountain to catch two nests of wild bees."

"Thirty cents? That's quite generous. Who took it in the end?"

"It was Chongli and Fengxing, a group of five people. Each of them received six cents."

"Or we can just pay directly and let Chongli make the trip for us." Liu Zhushan suggested. After all, it was not his strong point and he would be a hindrance if he went with them.

"You offer thirty cents?" Wang Shan asked back.

"Of course you can pay. You know what we are going to do here. You can still afford the thirty cents."

The previous Liu Zhushan would not have dared to make such a boast, but now that he follows Xu Yuan, although he is not rich, he can certainly afford food and clothing.

"Let me tell you, that girl Yuan is extraordinary. If we do as she says, we will never go hungry again. Your salted duck egg will definitely fetch a good price when it's ready."

……

This period of time was the happiest time in Zhu Chongli's life. He never expected that after spending half his life digging beehives for honey, he could also make money by doing so.

When Liu Zhushan and Wang Shan came to see him, Zhu Chongli never took off the smile on his face.

"Dad, why are you sitting there grinning like an idiot?" After Zhu Zicha and his sister Zhu Ziyi finished practicing a set of Eight-Section Brocade in the corridor, they heard their father's silly laughter and couldn't help asking.

"Nothing, I'm just happy."

But it was all thanks to this kid Zicha who brought the things back without any hesitation.

The sky was dark and the rain was still falling. It seemed that we had to wait until the weather cleared up before we could go to the mountain.

"time to eat!"

Liu Guitao brought the last dish to the table, wiped her hands, and shouted outside the door.

"Mother, what is this? It smells so strange."

Zhu Zicha picked up the strange root that was fried with eggs, put it into his mouth and stirred it. A strange taste flowed in his mouth. Zhu Zicha took a big mouthful of rice and swallowed it.

“Houttuynia cordata.”

It is a rare grass that tastes like fish and has medicinal value.

"It's a good thing. Doctor Wei said it's a good medicine for clearing away heat and detoxifying."

"Mom, if this is a medicinal herb, can it be fried and eaten?" Zhu Ziyi asked curiously, blinking his big eyes and with a thin face.

"Why can't we eat it? As long as it's not poisonous, you can eat it." Liu Guitao picked up a piece of Houttuynia cordata with chopsticks and put it into Zhu Ziyi's bowl, telling her to eat with big mouthfuls.

"Mother, when can we eat the sprouts?"

Zhu Zicha heard from his mother that Houttuynia cordata is a good thing, so he didn't care about its strange smell. As long as it was good for the body, he swallowed it down even if he felt like vomiting. Looking at the roots, he thought of sprouts. He hadn't eaten them for a long time and missed them a little.

"It has just sprouted. It will be ready to eat in a few days."

"Dad, why don't you eat this delicious thing?" Liu Guitao saw that Zhu Chongli was just silently picking up a plate of vegetables on the side. He didn't go to the plate of eggs, but directly picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his bowl.

"I don't like it. You three can eat it."

"No, Dad, we should all eat the good things together." Zhu Zicha immediately retorted.

Zhu Ziyi shouted, "That's right, Dad, eat quickly. I'm not picky about food. Dad, you have to change this bad habit."

"Okay, okay, I'll change it."

……

The next day, the weather finally cleared up after several days of drizzling rain.

After Xu Yuan finished his breakfast, he said hello to Xu Zhi, took two large bags of things, and drove Dahua out.

I had originally thought of taking Xu Zhi with me, but when I thought about Guozi and Xuanyu coming back from school and there being no one at home, that definitely wouldn't work.

The path is muddy and the mountain breeze is cool.

The bamboo forest is quiet and peaceful, and the bamboo leaves are rustling in the wind.

A faint white light flashed, and Xuyuan appeared behind a large rock.

Hidden indeed.

Xu Yuan looked around and then built a protective barrier here for double protection.

Following the directions on the note, we indeed saw a yard hidden in the bamboo forest not far away.

He made a wish without stopping, walking through remote paths and deserted alleys.

He broke into a street full of passers-by.

The city is worthy of being called a city. Even the stalls on the streets are neatly arranged. The roads are wide and horse-drawn carriages can move slowly on the avenues.

Comparing the clothes worn by people on the street and myself, I look like a country bumpkin coming to the city.

"Selling goods, selling goods, new varieties of things, produced in Aso country, genuine goods, fair prices, no deception. If you are interested, come and take a look."

The hawking voice of a big man instantly attracted Xuyuan.

Just as I was about to raise my foot to go there, I smelled a strong scent of rouge on my nose, and felt a push on my back. A few people with big red lips, cool clothes, and holding a fan walked forward.

"Bumpkin, don't block our way." A sarcastic female voice sounded from behind. She wiped her hand that touched Xuyuan's back with a handkerchief in disgust, as if she had touched something dirty. She threw the handkerchief on the ground and glared at Xuyuan with disgust.

"Oh, sister, why are you getting mad at that bumpkin? Go quickly, there's a handsome man in that house. Let's go and take a look."

"Yes, let's go quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to walk if there are too many people."

A group of three people walked away quickly, twisting their waists, leaving behind a strong smell of rouge that lingered for a long time.

"Oh my god, aren't those the girls from Zuiyun Pavilion? Why are they here?"

"Come on, let's follow and take a look."

When Xu Yuan smelled the rouge, his nose instantly felt uncomfortable and he felt like sneezing.

I quickly changed direction, squeezed out of the crowd, and got rid of the smell.

Tsk!

I feel like I'm already covered in that fragrance.

Xuyuan didn't like the taste at all.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way."

A horse-drawn carriage was galloping over from the front, and the driver on the horse was waving his whip to drive the crowd on the roadside.

Before Xu Yuan could squeeze out of the crowd, he was pushed in another direction.

Suddenly I felt someone pulling the backpack behind me. It seemed that it didn't move the first time, but the second time it pulled with more force.

Make a wish: Do you think I am dead?
