C18 Anorexia

The next morning, Mei Qi Duoduo carried the lotus coloured backpack that Mei Xiaolan had made for her. She mounted the basket and went up the mountain as usual. Today, she didn't take the same route as yesterday. However, after reaching the same position as yesterday, she changed her route and headed deeper into the forest.

Along the way, she carefully sprinkled the food with knockout powder. Only after she had wiped the powder off her hands did she feel at ease to leave.

She had not gone far when she found a rotten piece of wood lying on the ground, covered with wooden ears.

The head of the tree was very thick, almost half a meter in diameter.

The top of the tree in front of her had long since rotted away. As she walked along the wood, she discovered that the whole tree was dozens of meters long and was covered with plump black ears.

At this time, Mei Qi Hua was truly happy. Mu Er was a good person, after she dried these and sold them, she should be able to earn a lot of money. However, Mei Qi Hua looked around. There was still a lot of distance between this place and the depths of the mountain, so it could be considered close to the mountain.

It was really strange that no one picked the Mu Er here. Could it be that none of the ancients knew Mu Er?

While thinking about this, Mei Qi Hua's movements were not interrupted at all. She carefully plucked the wooden ears off one by one, leaving the smaller ones on top. They would only grow up in a few days' time.

Moments later, the seven plum blossoms filled up the basket and backpack. Actually, it wasn't impossible for them to put on more makeup.

However, she was afraid that if she sold this wooden ear for too much, it would affect her individual appearance.

This trip up the mountain was much easier than yesterday. Mei Qi Hua thought to herself. On the way back, she pulled out a few hemostasis herbs, hoping to smash them into pieces so that she could use them on the stones. This morning, Seven Flowers saw the stone wound. Although it was not cut, it did not look very good.

Before she left, she felt a little guilty about the stone. If she hadn't suddenly stuffed it into the bathtub yesterday, his wounds would have healed much faster today.

On the way back, the fat voles that had poured the medicine picked it up from the ground and tied it up into a string. This was not bad. It was much better than the pigeons from yesterday. At least, it was much more fleshy than the birds. Mei Qi Hua was in a good mood.

When they arrived home, Mei Qi Hua immediately took off her backpack and basket, found a clean wooden board, and gently dried her soft wooden ears.

At this time, Mei Xiaolan walked over and looked down at her daughter, "Qi Hua, what is this? How come no one in the village has ever eaten it before? Is it also a medicinal herb? "

Mei Qi Hua replied, "Mother, please watch carefully. My wooden ears are good stuff, they nourish the qi and strengthen the body, and they taste delicious. "When it's dried, I'll sell it to a restaurant in the town for at least a silver tael."

"Yo, this thing is really expensive. Mother will bring you a better board, your board is too dirty."

After saying that, Mei Xiaolan went to the kitchen.

"Mom, there's no need." "I got some big field mice today. You deal with them and we'll eat them tonight."

The wood ears were very dry, and the seven plum blossoms had made a small bonfire nearby. After the bonfire was extinguished and the wooden planks moved up, the next morning should be enough.

It was a quiet night, and the next day, just as dawn broke, Mei Qi Hua picked up the wooden ears and packed them into a basket. After taking a look and putting on his clothes in the basin, he put on the new clothes that Mei Xiaolan had just made and rushed back to town.

Plum Seven only had ten coins on her, so she couldn't bear to take the car, so she walked slowly. When she arrived at town, it was exactly noon, and it was time for lunch.

Standing on the street, Mei Qi Duo paced back and forth. Before long, she found a restaurant with a large number of customers. Mei Qi Duo didn't go in immediately, but went around to the back door of the restaurant.

He took out five copper coins and went up to a simple and honest man who was busy unloading a cart. He said in a soft voice, "Uncle, my family picked some mountain goods from the mountains and wants to sell them to this restaurant. Please help us out."

As he spoke, he shoved the bronze coin into the black-faced man's hand.

"What's the use of this? You little girl, quickly put it away." I don't know the chef in the restaurant, but I do know a little brother Wang who is in charge of chores. When I finish unloading the car, I'll ask you about it. "

"That's great. Uncle, if the mountain is sold, I'll treat you to some steamed buns." She smiled happily as she raised her small face.

This man did not disappoint his simple and honest face. Mei Qi was waiting for the uncle to finish his work and find someone for her.

Before long, this simple and honest man brought a little steward dressed in a navy blue suit and came in front of her.

"Brother Wang, this is the child from a distant relative in our village. Show it to me. " The simple and honest man stood to the side and rubbed his hands.

Mei Qi Hua cleverly greeted Wang Xiao-ge, "Hello, Brother Wang."

Although the manager in front of them did not look up, he only nodded slightly towards Mei Qianzhu and asked in a hoarse voice, "Senior Chen said you have mountain goods in your hands, what are they? Show it to me. "

"This brat looks pretty big, but he's actually still in the sound-changing stage." Here, this is our specialty on the mountain. It's called the Mournful Ear. "It's good for your health, it's delicious. I heard that if you consume it for a long time, it can make your skin even more tender."

Manager Wang didn't care about Mei Qi Hua's words. Instead, he frowned and looked in the basket of Mei Qi Hua. Then, he didn't say anything and looked at the simple and honest man next to him with hesitation. After a long while, he said, "I don't know about your family's mountain products. I've been in this restaurant for quite some time now. I've never received such a mountain. "

"Little Brother Wang, take a look. It would be good if you could take it."

With a look of gratitude, Mei Qi Hua glanced at the man who helped her, feeling that the steamed bun she promised was worth it.

Manager Wang glanced at the man beside him, if this man did not save him while unloading the goods a few days ago, he really would have had his face smashed, how could he sit on the steward's seat. It was just that the man was very powerful, he did not dare say anything, but now that he had helped himself, he asked, "Do you know how to eat this thing? "If it's really delicious, I can send this wood and wood ear to the kitchen."

Manager Wang didn't boast. With his young age, he had already become a manager in this restaurant. In another ten years, he would be able to easily become a shopkeeper. He was young now, so he practiced first, but he wasn't staying here for nothing. He had relatives working in the kitchen, but they couldn't be chefs.

Mei Seven's eyes sparkled. "Brother Wang, don't worry. This wooden ear is very easy to make. Why don't I tell you what to do and have someone try it?" In order to sell the mountain products, Mei Qi Duo didn't mind teaching the restaurant a few menus.

"How about this, you wait here for me, I'll go call Xiao Fang."

The steward quietly turned around and left, leaving Mei Seven to thank the simple and honest man. She smiled brightly, "Uncle, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been so easy to sell this mountain." It's all thanks to you, Uncle. "
