Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 341 Pepper Ripening

She found that the only dish for lunch was fried potato chips, and the staple food was sorghum rice.

An Yue thought that Daniu A'er had never tasted the flavor of the chicken mushroom.

So, she said, "I'm happy today, so I'll add another dish for everyone."

Sister-in-law Meng Xiuer said, "What dish does Yueyue plan to add?"

"I'll make another dish of chicken mushroom flower and egg soup."

When she heard that more food was needed, the aunt pulled up her apron around her waist to wipe her hands and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll pass you the firewood."

Meng Xiuer helped to clean the pot first, and An Yue took out five eggs and beat them all in a large bowl.

Soon the pan was heated up. An Yue added a small amount of oil, poured the eggs into the pan, and fried them until golden brown.

Finally, add appropriate amount of water.

After the water in the pot boils, pour the previously cleaned chicken mushrooms into the pot and cook for a quarter of an hour.

——A quarter of an hour later.

An Yue poured some soup into the bowl and tasted it: "It's just the right amount of saltiness, it's ready to be served!"

In this way, a delicious chicken mushroom soup is ready.

An Yue still served a large bowl to each of her aunt and grandmother, and scooped up the rest in the pot into a large soup bowl and brought it to the main hall.

I used to be so annoyed with my aunt and grandmother that my eyes would hurt if I looked at them for one more second.

But after experiencing these things, they have seen many things clearly and realized the value of family affection.

Ever since An Yue settled them in this home, she has never treated them badly in terms of food.

An Yue didn't know whether they were truly or falsely repenting, so for the time being she let them eat and live in the kitchen.

Everyone sat around the octagonal table on the benches and started to have lunch.

Seeing that all the dishes had been served, Gu Mingchuan couldn't wait to have a bowl of chicken mushroom soup.

The soup was still boiling hot. He took a sip and exclaimed, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this tastes... amazing! So delicious! So delicious!"

Seeing Gu Mingchuan's exaggerated look, everyone at the table also put two spoonfuls of soup in their bowls and savored it carefully.

Ale held the bowl with both hands and took two sips. He said affirmatively, "Miss, where did you find these ingredients? They taste so unique and delicious."

An Yue smiled and said, "This is called the Acanthopanax fasciata. I discovered it by accident when Chunzhi and I went to the back mountain to look at the pepper seedlings."

Gu Mingchuan quickly crossed out the sentence: "And me, and me!"

An Yue looked at Gu Mingchuan in front of her. He was wearing coarse linen clothes and at first glance, he looked no different from other boys of the same age in the village.

If we really want to find the difference, we can only say that he has a kind of confidence and demeanor that is difficult to conceal.

Now, he is no longer the stubborn nobleman, nor is he the Mr. Gu who can’t even fart after three kicks.

Now he is slowly beginning to integrate into the atmosphere of ordinary people.

Chunzhi laughed and said, "Haha, yes, yes, Master Gu is going with us."

Gu Mingchuan finished the chicken mushroom soup in his bowl. He held the bowl and filled another bowl with his hands. As he filled the bowl with soup, he said, "This mushroom soup is even better than the stir-fried chicken mushroom!"

After hearing this, Da Niu, who had been concentrating on drinking soup, immediately looked up and asked, "What? When we weren't... not at home, you guys had already... tasted it?"

"You were not at home at that time. Besides, we tried the poison ourselves first!" Chunzhi said with a suppressed smile, then continued drinking from the bowl.

Seeing that everyone at the table praised the drink, An Yue smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more."

Daniu, a tall man, was drinking chicken mushroom flower and egg soup, and was as happy as a child.

He said with a satisfied look on his face: "This is the most delicious and fragrant egg soup I have ever tasted."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard Daniu finish his sentence with great effort.

During lunch, everyone was laughing and talking happily, except An Nian, who was only busy drinking his soup and couldn't even stop to talk.

A few minutes later, everyone had lunch.

Grandma and my aunt cleared the dishes on the table, and everyone else helped to wash the chicken mushrooms.

After tasting the chicken mushroom, Daniu Ale couldn't help but complain while cleaning it: "This chicken mushroom is delicious, but it's really not easy to clean it!"

An Yue said as she washed: "That's natural. But there are many of us, so it won't take long to finish."

Gu Mingchuan walked up to them carrying a small stool and helped wash the chicken mushrooms.

......

Sure enough, there is strength in numbers. It didn’t take long before all the chicken mushroom flowers in the winnowing basket were cleaned.

Thinking about going to the back mountain to pick mushrooms, Chunzhi, Daniu and Ale didn't plan to take a lunch break.

After cleaning and drying the chicken mushrooms, they picked up their backpacks and took their sickles and prepared to go to the back mountain.

An Yue joked: "You three are so enthusiastic, maybe you want to have more dinner?"

An Yue saw through Chunzhi's thoughts. She smiled and tried to argue: "No! We just want to pick up more mushrooms."

An Yue put on the backpack and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, let's set off now."

Gu Mingchuan also hurriedly put on his backpack and followed the others.

"Oh, isn't this our Master Gu? Could it be that Master Gu wants to eat chicken mushrooms for dinner?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I want to eat enough!" Gu Mingchuan said, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

At this time, it was already Wei time.

A few people walked along the path towards the back mountain, talking and laughing.

However, going to the back mountain will lead you through a rocky pit.

An Yue stood on the path above the rock pit and squinted at the rock pit.

Finding that the rubble pit had not accumulated rainwater, she exclaimed in delight, "That's great."

After saying that, she slowly walked down the path and headed straight for the rock pit.

She wanted to go down and check to confirm whether the pepper fruits were ripe enough to be picked.

When Chunzhi saw An Yue going down, she followed closely behind.

Gu Mingchuan, Daniu and Ale also followed him down.

An Yue walked into the rock pit cautiously and observed Ma Jiang's condition carefully.

She reached out and picked a peppercorn and placed it on the stone, then picked up another small stone and crushed it gently. A rich spicy aroma immediately spread.

It has been confirmed that the peppercorns have grown mature, with strings of them hanging on the branches, and their fragrance can be smelled from afar.

Chunzhi walked behind and asked, "Miss, are these peppercorns ready to be picked?"

An Yue nodded: "Yes, it's ready to be picked. We can come and pick it tomorrow!"

Gu Mingchuan also came forward and asked An Yue: "What is this?"

An Yue rolled her eyes, ready to play a trick on him.

So she picked a few and put them in her palm, then put one in her mouth in front of everyone.

Then, he handed another one to Gu Mingchuan and said, "Here, try it too. Put it in your mouth and try it."

Gu Mingchuan had been living a life of luxury since childhood, and he had never seen such strange things.

An Yue asked him to put it in his mouth, and he actually put it in his mouth.
