Chapter 449 Invitation
Return to the short hill.
Xiaoman and his partner have already assembled hundreds of molds.
The temperature today is much higher than usual, and the little remaining snow on the back of the mountain has been completely melted.
"You two worked fast, it's ready now."
Xu Wenyan got off the camel with a big iron nail and a hammer.
Chen Sanlin was arranging the food he brought back home.
"Of course I do. Xiaoman and I work very well together."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Xu Wenyan came to the big rock, aimed the iron nail at the center of the stone along the hill, and then began to knock it slowly.
After it goes about two or three centimeters deep, you can pull out the nail and continue hammering it to both sides.
"Let me do it." Xiaoman walked over to Xu Wenyan and said.
"It's okay. You two have been working for so long. Take a break. Brother Chen will bring some food later."
It was a snack similar to glutinous rice noodles, a little sweet on the outside and crispy on the inside. Xu Wenyan searched all the places in the county and found only those selling this kind of snack.
After knocking for most of the circle, Xu Wenyan jumped into the pit.
He raised the hammer and smashed it towards the big rock.
"boom--"
The small piece of stone that was exposed was neatly smashed down by Xu Wenyan and fell heavily into the pit.
"I'll go, Lao Xu, you can do it."
Xu Wenyan's action really shocked Luo Sanyuan.
"Okay, all craftsmen know how to cut stones. Come and help carry them out."
When Chen Sanlin came over, the three men had already carried the big stone out.
Chen Sanlin put down a cloth bag and a water bag, and continued to dig the pit with Xu Wenyan.
"There's food and water in there. You can rest for a while."
The soil here is still relatively hard. Xu Wenyan doesn’t understand why the geology here is so strange. It is a bit difficult to dig the soil here.
There was sand on the edge at that time.
The four of them took turns digging for an entire afternoon before they finally completed the underground space.
Xu Wenyan dug a lot of mud and sand from the small river nearby and spread it in the pit. This was all he could do today.
Let’s go to the hot spring and soak for a while.
Xu Wenyan sat in the spring, soaking his whole body in the hot water, feeling quite comfortable.
"What did you buy in the county?" Luo Sanyuan asked.
"Just some food. Unfortunately, there is no wood in the county. I asked Uncle Mulati, and he said there is a grassland in the north. If you want to find wood, you have to walk southeast for a long time to get there."
"It's okay. I've never lived in a mud house before."
As several people were talking, hearty laughter came from behind.
"Hey, Brother Chen, you are here too."
Fu Jian came over from behind with a group of men and started taking off their clothes.
Xu Wenyan dared to swear that today was the day he had seen the most naked men.
The men jumped down like dumplings. Fu Jian walked up to Xu Wenyan and said, "I only found out about the hot springs here today. Brother Chen didn't even tell me in advance. Haha."
Chen Sanlin hugged Xu Wenyan to himself.
He would have agreed to take a bath with Luo Sanyuan and Xiaoman, but why are there so many people here all of a sudden?
It doesn’t matter if he is seen, but his wife cannot be seen by so many men.
"I thought Brother Fu wouldn't be able to stay for long."
"That's right, but we'll be staying here for a while. In a month we'll go to the west to collect Cordyceps. I wonder if Brother Chen is interested?"
Fu Jian walked to Xu Wenyan and leaned against the stone behind him, talking excitedly.
At this time, a young man came from a distance and said, "Brother Chen, you can go. One Cordyceps can be sold for 200 coins.
You will definitely get rich if you follow me."
Xu Wenyan knew that what they were talking about was Cordyceps sinensis, and this season was indeed the season for collecting Cordyceps sinensis.
Just to walk there, it would probably take several days.
"Yes, it's safe to follow us." Fu Jian said, and then pointed at the young man: "Just call him Xiao Wang, he was brought by Miss Gu, and he is very capable."
Xu Wenyan thought for a while and decided that it shouldn't be difficult to build the house this month. After a little decoration and turning over the surrounding soil, it would be no problem to go out and play for half a month.
"Okay, Brother Fu is helping me make money, so I must hold him in high esteem."
"Hahaha, Brother Chen's words are so pleasant to hear."
After chatting with this group of people for a while, Xu Wenyan was ready to go home.
Chen Sanlin went up first, quickly put on his clothes, and hugged Xu Wenyan with his coat before he felt relieved.
Fu Jian and his group naturally understood what was going on.
In the Lin Kingdom, marrying a male wife is nothing special; even the nobles and royal families have this habit.
Xiao Wang watched them leave and said, "Brother Fu and Brother Chen have such a good relationship."
"Yeah, you're envious, aren't you?" Fu Jian hugged Xiao Wang's neck and said, "I'll introduce you to a wife when we get back."
"Then I'm serious."
Back in the house, Luo Sanyuan handed the dry clothes to Xu Wenyan: "Old Xu, let's really follow them."
"Go ahead. Cordyceps is indeed a good thing. As for whether it can be sold at the price he said, I don't know."
According to Xu Wenyan's understanding, Cordyceps was indeed a medicine in ancient times, but it was more of a medicine guide, and its efficacy was not as strong as it is boasted in modern times.
On the contrary, eating too much can lead to metal poisoning.
Rumors stop at the wise, but apparently...
Its main functions include nourishing the kidney and lungs, stopping bleeding and resolving phlegm.
Hongyu suffers from kidney deficiency, spermatorrhea, impotence, spermatorrhea, pain in waist and knees, etc.
It has more of a regulatory role.
Because the modern ones are so expensive, let alone eating them, Xu Wenyan has never seen modern ones, but this time he can go with them to take a look.
"Aren't they looking for nugget gold? Why are they looking for Cordyceps again?"
“Then finding nuggets of gold is just like finding gemstones. You have to move around a lot, and rumors only give a range.
I've said it before, 70% of it depends on luck."
Luo Sanyuan patted the dust off his legs and stood up: "Okay, let's go together, maybe I will find it."
"You'd better find it quickly and subsidize our broken home."
Xu Wenyan put on his clothes and left the room.
"How could it be broken? We four were living such a good life."
"You came here broken, you have to show your support and fill it up."
"...Okay, okay, I'll fill it in right away."
Xu Wenyan smiled and rubbed his head: "I'm just kidding, come and help me."
After eating sour noodles for two months, Xu Wenyan really couldn't stand it anymore.
Whether it is the buns or pancakes bought in the county, they all have a sour taste.
Xu Wenyan hasn't found any limestone here yet, so he can only make do with wood ash water.
Pour the black ash left after burning the straw into the basin and scrub it.
After waiting for it to settle, use the water on the surface to make the dough.
It can remove some of the sour taste and make it softer, although it is not as good as the baking soda method used before.
But it is much better than those bought in the county.
Xu Wenyan made about twenty or thirty steamed buns, but he didn't have time to make lunch when he went out to work.
A'man hadn't come back yet, so Xu Wenyan brought a steamed bun to Ayi Na: "Come and try it."
The little girl took the steamed bun shyly, and after taking a small bite, her eyes lit up.
After eating a few more bites, Aina hid the remaining half of the steamed bun.
