Yan Qing asked some more about the baby girl.Liu Jiaqi only said that it was snowing heavily that day, when his father opened the door, he saw a baby girl lying in front of their house.She was wrapped in an old dress, and in her arms was a jade pendant.

They thought that some family gave birth to a girl and didn't want to raise it, so they raised it by themselves.Later, because of her admiration for Mr. Chen, she entered Chen's mansion and became the seventh aunt.

Yan Qing gave them five taels of silver each, and let them go back.

On the way back, Liu Jiali was very puzzled by what the eldest brother did: "Brother, Ziyu is clearly the biological daughter of me and the Zhu family, why did you say that just now?"

"Second child, do you really understand or pretend you don't understand?" Liu Jiaqi snorted coldly: "Master said, that young master is from the capital. He came all the way here, so there must be more important things to inquire about. We have guessed before that Gu Yunjie may not be the child of ordinary people, but may be the child of a wealthy family. I am also betting, you don't understand my painstaking efforts at all."

Liu Jiali listened to his elder brother's words, and his mind was a little confused: "Brother, you mean, the person they want is probably Xiaojie?"

"If you don't want to think about it, where did the father get that jade pendant. They know that jade pendant, and they must know the owner of the jade pendant. If they haven't found it, it means that they don't care about the life and death of the jade pendant owner. Now that they have found it, what does this mean? You don't need me to explain it." Liu Jiaqi patted the second child on the shoulder and turned to look at Liu Zihao: "Zihao, do you understand what I mean?"

"Father, I naturally understand what you mean." Liu Zihao nodded: "As soon as you open your mouth, I will know. This son, brother, has a better temperament than the young master Qi I saw in Fucheng last time. Looking at Mr. Kang's attitude towards him, I guess, he must be the son of some high-ranking official."

If the other party does not have an official position, or is an ordinary son, Mr. Kang will not be so enthusiastic, let alone be respectful and dare not overstep.

"The son's attitude is also strange. After hearing the existence of the baby girl, he didn't react at all."

"It's all Mrs. Kang's fault. If she hadn't said that Ziyu is now the seventh aunt of the Chen family, he would definitely have to meet her. Now that Ziyu has become someone else's aunt, he must feel that it would be shameless to admit her back, so he didn't say anything."

"What the hell is this son? If he is Xiaojie's relative, when he heard about the situation of the baby girl, he would have no expression on his face. If he doesn't care about the baby girl's life, there is no point in us using Ziyu to impersonate Xiaojie."

The other party values ​​the baby girl, so it makes sense to fake it.

If the other party does not pay attention to it, it is meaningless to pretend that it is not fake.

"Father, what should we do if that young master doesn't pay attention to him? That young master looks like a noble person, if we can get in touch with him..." Liu Zihao didn't finish what he said, but Liu Jiaqi and the others all understood the meaning.

It would be a big deal if they could establish a relationship with the nobles in the capital, and maybe their family would be able to soar into the sky because of it.

"Brother, why didn't you tell that son that there is still a wooden sign." Liu Jiali didn't understand this.

In addition to the jade pendant, there is also a wooden sign in the box.

Maybe the wooden sign is the thing that can prove the identity of the baby girl, why didn't the eldest brother say it.

"We have to make sure that the other party values ​​the baby girl first. If the other party values ​​the baby girl, he will naturally come to us and guess whether there are things on us that we haven't taken out. We took out all the things at once, and they took the things away. It is not impossible to find another girl to replace them."

Liu Jiaqi's temperament is similar to that of Liu Qingshan, they are both good at calculating.

He will not tell the truth easily until he has found out the details of the other party.

"Uncle, my father's consideration is right." Liu Zihao said slowly: "We have to find out the purpose of the other party's trip. Whether the other party is here for people or for things, if it is for things, we naturally have to keep some words to ourselves. If it is for a baby girl, naturally we should have an attitude."

"That's right, if it's aimed at people, as long as they are willing to recognize Ziyu, Ziyu will naturally carry a lot of those things with her."

Liu Jiali moved his lips: "Ke Ziyu is not that baby girl after all, and they are not fools either. They will believe whatever we say."

"Second, if you want to become a master, you have to be courageous. If you are not courageous, how can you make it happen. Besides, if this matter is accomplished, Ziyu will be a noble person in the future."

"The problem now is that we just returned those things to Xiaojie the night before yesterday, and if we go back and ask for them now, they may not return them to us."

"That's a problem. Those things must be important, and we have to get them back. As for how to get them back, what do you do?"

"The things belong to their family. When returning the things, we also admit that the things belonged to other people's families. It is definitely not possible to come to the door directly. We have to find a way to get them back secretly."

"It's only one day away." Liu Zihao couldn't help being annoyed: "You are too anxious, if you don't return it, who knows that those things are ours."

"If you didn't get sick suddenly, we wouldn't be causing trouble because of the box. You also saw that once you return the box, your illness will be cured." After all, it was taken from the hands of the dead, so I feel somewhat guilty.

The things were returned the day before yesterday, and the young master from the capital found them today.

"It's difficult to say, but it's easy to say. If the son really came for the baby girl, let's tell the truth, that the things in the box were snatched away, and I believe the son will have a way to get it back."

At first glance, that young master is not a mortal, and with the addition of Mr. Kang, they want the Gu family to go east, so they dare to go west.

"This is also a way."

When the three of them returned to the village, the villagers saw them coming back and congratulated Liu Zihao one after another: "Zihao, Master Kang is looking for you because you passed the exam."

"It must be. If Zihao hadn't passed the exam, why would Mr. Kang ask Zihao to go there?"

"Zihao, you will be a scholar from now on, but it's amazing."

Liu Zihao listened to the big guy's words, and cupped his hands to the big guy: "Folks, Mr. Kang just asked me to ask questions, and didn't talk about the test results. The results haven't come out yet, thank you folks for your concern."

"Master Kang must have known some news in advance, otherwise why would he ask you to go there." He stood up with a smile: "Everyone go back, when the definite news comes back, our family will definitely hold a big banquet, everyone must come over."

"sure."

When they got home, Mrs. He locked the gate of the courtyard and pulled them into the house: "You have been here for a long time, what did Mr. Kang say? Is it because your grades made Mr. Kang pay special attention to you."

"Mother, it's not this, it's another matter." For some things, family members need to give a unified statement. Liu Jiaqi called Zhou Shi and Zhu Shi over and asked them to listen together.

After hearing this, the family was a little confused.

"What do you mean by that? You let Ziyu?"

"I think that young master is of extraordinary status, and Mr. Kang is respectful to him, so he is definitely not someone in the pool. If we really come to find that baby girl, we have to take a gamble." That's right, that's what he was planning.

Mrs. He was silent for a while: "Unfortunately, Ziyu has become an aunt to the Chen family. With this status, what kind of family she wants to marry in the future will not be able to marry, and she still needs to be an aunt to the Chen family."

"If Ziyu is really a noble person, he will definitely come out of the Chen family in the future."

"That's true."

Mrs. Zhu was about to cry. How could her daughter, who was pregnant for ten months, become an abandoned baby: "If they know that we are lying, will there be any danger?"

Brewing a fact is not difficult, the difficulty is how to make the fact come true.If the listener doesn't believe it, what will happen next.

"Don't worry, we have to wait for this matter. Don't miss this matter, remember it well. If I guess correctly, that nobleman will come to us."

……

The magistrate Kang sent someone to look for Liu Zihao to go to the county government, Xiaojie naturally knew about it.

At this time, she went up the mountain with Chu Chu to find herbs.

Now she digs herbs for her own use instead of supplementing her household.

Those that are not needed are stored in the laboratory and exchanged for other medicines.

The lab can't allow itself to be too demanding without having anything to send in.

"Do you think he will pass the exam?" Gu Yunjie asked.

"I guess not for that."

"What's that?" Xiaojie walked carefully in the grass.

It's going to be hot.When the weather is hot, there will be more snakes.

It would be fatal if a few snakes jumped out suddenly.

"We'll find out when we go to the county seat tomorrow to inquire about it." Chu Chu had an intuition that it had nothing to do with Liu Zihao's exam.

"If the rice harvest is good this season, I would like to buy more land-planted rice. What do you think?" In another month or so, the rice will be harvested.

If the harvest is good, it is natural to want to diversify.In this era, if you have food in hand, you will not panic in everything.

"It's simple." Chu Chu looked at Xiaojie's back: "I'm afraid it will be too eye-catching."

Xiaojie thought of something, and narrowed her eyes: "It's really not possible. We don't eat the seeds of this season, and sell them all as seeds. With our precedent, there must be more people buying."

As long as she doesn't hide it secretly, she will be fine.

"It's actually simple, we can give some directly to the imperial court." If there are good things offered immediately, most people's mouths are blocked.

"Oh, it's really troublesome." Gu Yunjie sat on a rock, took out a water bottle and took a sip of water: "I just want to grow rice with a high yield, and I have to worry about this and that. Could it be that knowing how to grow rice is also a sin."

Chu Chu smiled: "It's not that complicated. Don't think too complicated. Being able to grow high-yielding rice is the welfare of the common people, and it's too late for everyone to be happy." For the superiors, they know the importance of rice.

An extra [-] catties per mu of land means that one more child can be fed in a year.

"You're right, why think so much, take a step at a time. Now that the rice seeds are in my hands, it's not like I can plant whatever I want. I may not be able to change another species."

"My wife is the most powerful." Chu Chu praised without hesitation.

Gu Yunjie lowered her head and found a few stone mushrooms on her feet, she grinned at Chuchu: "We have another good fortune today."

I don't know if it has something to do with her childhood experience, Xiaojie especially likes to eat stone mushrooms.

I remember when she was a child, when she first met her grandfather, he took her up the mountain to pick up stone mushrooms, and then fried them into vegetables. She could eat two bowls of rice in one sitting.

The two didn't dare to pick up much, just enough for two meals.

If this thing is not kept, it will be very old if it is left at home overnight.When it gets old, the meat inside will turn black, very black, so she doesn't dare to eat it, because she always feels that she can't eat it.

Back home, Xiaojie asked Lingbao to peel the stone mushroom skin together.This is a big project, just as the saying goes, delicious and delicious, but the process of making it is not simple.

If you don't peel off a layer of skin, the layer of sand attached to it is particularly difficult to wash off. If you peel off a layer of skin, it will be much easier to clean.

Lingbao looked at his own kind without any sympathy, and quickly peeled the skins. Seeing that some were small, he secretly made them bigger again, which made it much easier to peel.

Xiaojie looked at the stone mushrooms in the basket, but didn't see any small ones, and asked her daughter with some doubts: "I remember I picked up quite a few small ones, you threw them away."

Lingbao smiled lightly at her mother, and said softly in her ear: "Mother, I let them grow up a bit. They are too small, useless."

Gu Yunjie: "...."

If it can still be like this, then can she pick up some small ones in the future to make her daughter bigger?
"Small sample." Gu Yunjie nodded her nose: "Can they listen to you?"

"Don't forget who I am, they dare not listen to me." She is a spirit of Ganoderma lucidum, a mushroom spirit, these little mushrooms dare not listen.

"It's quite airy, you have to be careful, don't let your grandma find out." The fact that the Lingbao is the essence of Ganoderma lucidum is still hidden from my father and grandma.

"Know it."

In the evening, fried stone mushrooms with green peppers, braised pork, and stewed beef brisket are served on the table.

"Grandma, I see that there are quite a lot of stone mushrooms on the mountain. Let's collect some and use them for cooking in the store." Xiaojie ate a few mouthfuls, thinking that stone mushrooms are so delicious that they can be turned into a dish in the store.

"You can pick it up on the mountain, can it be sold in the store?"

"People who go to the store to eat, it is impossible to go up the mountain every day, and they don't have the time. Some businessmen are away from home, maybe they just want to eat this."

"Okay, I'll go up the mountain with your father tomorrow." There's not much farm work at home these days, so it's good to pick up some stone mushrooms and bring them to the store.

"Look at yourselves, you must be younger, not too old, not too young. If you don't want to pick it up, you can also release the news, we are willing to buy it."

"At the beginning, I didn't know if it could sell well. Your father and I will go up the mountain to pick some up tomorrow. You can try it in the store. If it sells well, we will find a way to collect some and send it to the store."

Xiaojie nodded.

Early in the morning, Gu Lanshi went into the mountain, Xiaojie and the others ran back to make breakfast, Gu Lanshi came back with a basket full of them, like a small mountain.

"Grandma Zeng, bring me with you next time you go up the mountain, I want to pick it up too." Lingzhi looked at the stone mushroom that looked like a hill, and raised her mouth with Gu Lanshi in a childish voice.

"You have to get up early, can you get up early?" Gu Lan asked with a smile.

"Call me when you get up, and I will definitely get up."

"Okay, grandma Zeng will bring you with me tomorrow." Squat down and pick out the good-looking ones inside, not old ones, and put the bad-looking ones, some old ones on the other side for the family to eat.

Gu Yunjie put a basket of stone mushrooms into the carriage, sat in with Lingbao, and Chuchu walked towards the county with a whip.

Liu Yuehong looked at the stone mushrooms that Gu Yunjie brought down from the carriage, and couldn't help saying: "Boss, these stone mushrooms, what do you want?"

"You're right. I want to add a dish to the store to see the reaction. I'll take it over and weigh it."

There is no one who grew up in the village who doesn't know stone mushrooms.

Things like stone mushrooms are seasonal things. If you miss this season, you won't be able to find them if you want to eat them.

It is not easy to preserve, and it can only be fresh after eating in the morning.

"Okay." Liu Yuehong didn't say much, and directly lifted the basket down, and arranged for people to peel the stone mushrooms.

Shopkeeper Hu came over after a while.

"Little Gu, do you have any ideas about this stone mushroom? Is it according to our usual method, or is there another method?"

"According to the usual practice, if you want to eat this, you have to eat the original taste. It is too complicated and it will lose its authenticity."

"What about the name of the dish?"

"It's a homemade white jade plate."

Shopkeeper Hu nodded and went down.

Such a dish was quickly added to the menu.

Because of the jade pendant, Yan Qing plans to stay in Wu County for a few more days.He casually walked around the street with his entourage, saw the signboard of Jue Tian Xia, and couldn't help chuckling: "Such a small place dares to be called Jue Tian Tian Taste, if you really haven't seen the world, you don't know how big the world is."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards Tianxia Juewei.He wants to see if the dishes inside are special, if not, he has to slap them in the face.

"Guest officer, who are you?" Seeing a guest coming, Xiao Er enthusiastically stepped forward.He also enthusiastically served vegetable water and a small plate of peanuts.

Yan glanced at the menu lightly, and ordered a few dishes casually: "Just these few, I can't finish eating too much."

"Would you like some wine?"

"no need."

Xiao Er took the menu up, and the dishes were quickly served.

Homemade white jade plate, braised chicken nuggets, drunk goose.

The entourage poured tea for Yanqing, tried the dishes with silver needles before eating, and only let Yanqing eat if there was no problem.

The first thing Yan Qing ate was the stone mushroom. It looked like a very ordinary thing, but after entering his mouth, the taste felt very special.

He called Xiaoer over: "Xiaoer, what is this?"

"Guest officer, this is stone mushroom. This is a new dish in our store. It's half price today. You are lucky."

"Stone mushroom?" Yan Qing grew up in the palace, so where has he heard of this thing?After asking Xiao Er, let Xiao Er go down, and then tasted chicken nuggets and drunk goose.

These two dishes can also be eaten in the capital, and he often eats them.After taking a bite, he felt that the taste was better than anything he had eaten before.

He didn't believe in evil, and tasted a few more mouthfuls.

Sure enough, the chicken nuggets were tender and smooth, and the drunk goose tasted better than the ones he ate in the capital.

He said to his entourage: "No wonder you dare to call it the best taste in the world, the taste is still okay."

People dare to call this name, they really have some skills.
