Chapter 8 Earning so much in one morning?!
Su Ran put the washed chicken mushrooms into the sieve.

Its gills are closely arranged and the color is similar to that of the cap. It releases a light but pleasant aroma.

Little Chen Tao took it in his hand and smelled it, and immediately felt salivating.

"Brother Xiaoran, when are we going to eat? I saved my stomach specially to wait for your mushrooms. Now I'm so hungry."

Su Ran patted his head and said lovingly, "Let's start now."

The old man next to him was smoking a pipe, his eyes fixed on the white and tender chicken mushrooms.

He didn’t eat much of the delicious chicken mushroom.

When I was young, even if I was lucky enough to pick them, I would sell them for money and never get to enjoy them to my heart’s content.

With his hands behind his back, the old man walked out to the vegetable garden in the yard, picked some red peppers and onions, and dug a piece of ginger.

Little Chen Tao helped to make a fire.

I am very motivated to taste the delicious food as soon as possible.

Su Ran cut the two pounds of pork bought from the town into thin slices.

At this moment, he slapped his head and found something was missing.

When I saw my grandfather walk in, his hair was covered with raindrops. I looked out the window and saw a drizzle.

"It will take some time to cook the meal. Boil some hot water on the stove for soaking your feet in the evening. I'm going to go out for a while."

After giving some instructions to little Chen Tao, Su Ran walked into the utility room where firewood was piled.

He found the hatchet and put it in the backpack, put on a raincoat and boots, and ran into the forest with a flashlight.

Grandpa reminded from behind: "It's raining late at night, be careful on the road."

"I know, Grandpa."

Su Ran waved the flashlight and responded.

After reaching the top of the mountain, Su Ran walked towards the place where he had previously discovered the flock of chicken mushrooms with a clear goal.

After an afternoon, the group of chicken mushrooms were much fuller than before.

It is still raining now, so the growth will be even faster tonight.

Come early tomorrow morning and they will be ready for picking.

Su Ran nodded with satisfaction and searched in the forest for a while.

Near the dense dead leaves, a bunch of asparagus was seen.

"found it!"

Su Ran was delighted.

Asparagus is also called medicinal chicken beans in the north.

The buds are fresh in appearance, and when pinched they release moisture and give off a natural fragrance.

They seem to be masterpieces carefully crafted by nature, growing quietly in the moist soil, waiting to thrive.

However, Su Ran would definitely not let them continue to grow, because asparagus can usually only be tasted when it is small, and if it grows up, it will become asparagus.

Su Ran approached cautiously, afraid that her footsteps would disturb the tranquility.

Su Ran took out a hatchet from the backpack and dug out the asparagus neatly.

A handful of asparagus wafts into my nose with a rich, fresh aroma.

This fragrance is also mixed with the aroma of soil, a mixture of moisture and vitality that makes people feel peaceful and satisfied.

When Su Ran returned home, the meal was already ready.

Su Ran processed the asparagus neatly and efficiently.

Asparagus is most tender and tastes best when it is freshly dug.

Blanch fresh asparagus and cut diagonally.

This not only maintains the crispy and tender texture, but also allows the seasoning to penetrate better.

Next, wash the chicken mushrooms and slice them in the same way so that they can be evenly heated during the frying process and fully absorb the flavor of the seasoning.

After doing all this, Su Ran started to heat the oil in a pan.

The lard is still made from the fat of the pork.

First add the chicken mushrooms and stir-fry until the surface is slightly golden, so that the unique aroma of the chicken mushrooms can be released.

Then, add the asparagus and continue to stir-fry to allow the flavors to blend together.

In order to enhance the flavor of this dish, add appropriate amounts of salt, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger slices and red pepper shreds.

Increase the layering of dishes.

During the quick stir-fry process, the seasoning is evenly coated on each piece of chicken mushroom and asparagus.

When the chicken mushrooms are fully cooked, Su Ran takes them out of the pot and puts them on a plate.

As soon as the food was served on the table, the room was filled with a strong aroma.

The air was filled with tempting smells. Little Chen Tao couldn't help but drool.

Su Ran smiled and said, "Everyone is tired after a day, let's eat."

After he finished speaking, little Chen Tao couldn't wait to pick up a bite and put it in his mouth.

"Yeah, delicious!"

"Brother Xiaoran, your cooking skills are so good, this asparagus is not bitter at all!"

The dish cooked by Su Ran is not only visually tempting.

The taste is also layered, rich and varied.

Fresh asparagus brings a crisp and tender texture, and you can feel the unique sweetness and freshness of asparagus in every bite.

Many people find asparagus bitter, mainly due to the oxalic acid it contains. This bitter taste can be reduced by blanching.

The chicken mushrooms paired with it exude an irresistible fragrance and smooth taste.

It was a perfect contrast to the crispness of the asparagus.

The old man also nodded in praise.

Seeing the two people devouring the food, Su Ran became anxious: "Eat slowly, leave some for me."

……

In less than ten minutes, the three of them finished the whole plate of delicious food.

Little Chen Tao ate up all the foam on the plate by mixing it with rice.

This naughty kid ate four bowls of rice and was now lying on the kang, groaning while touching his bloated belly.

"I told you to eat less. You must be too full."

"Don't lie in bed, get up and move around more."

"Who told you, Xiao Ran, to be such a good cook?" Little Chen Tao's eyes lit up. "How about, brother, you become my brother-in-law. I'll introduce my sister to you, and we can become the best bond!"

"From now on, I can eat your cooking every day!"

Su Ran rolled her eyes at him angrily and said, "Go to hell, little brat! If your sister knew you sold her out for a meal, she would beat you to death."

Little Chen Tao chuckled and suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Xiaoran, how much did you make from selling mushrooms in town today?"

Su Ran counted the loose bills in his grandfather's bag, and then looked at some of the payment records in WeChat.

I quickly calculated the money I earned today.

"The total is four thousand three hundred and twenty-eight." Including the orders in the group, it is almost six thousand yuan.

Chen Tao suddenly sat up from the kang and said in surprise:

"Seize the young master?"

"I'll go, so many?"

"My mother works overtime until very late every day. She works so hard but only gets 4,000 yuan a month."

"Brother Xiaoran, you've only worked for the whole morning and you've already made a net profit of 4,328!"

"That's awesome."

Needless to say, for Chen Tao, saving around 3,000 yuan as New Year's money during the holidays is a huge sum of money.

It would take him another year to save up enough money.

He found himself admiring Su Ran more and more.

I even feel that money is so easy to make!
"Don't let your imagination run wild, kid. You should study hard at your age."

When the little brat stuck his butt out, Su Ran knew what kind of shit he was going to do, and as he spoke, he took out three Mao Zedong notes from the stack of banknotes.

Looking at the big red banknote handed over, Chen Tao was stunned: "Is this... for me?"

"Yeah, after all, you helped me, I can't let you make a wasted trip."

"That's too much..." Chen Tao was a little moved.

"It's okay. If you feel more, just help me later."

"Uh-huh!"

Chen Tao jumped up with joy.

Originally he went up the mountain with Su Ran just for fun, but he didn't expect that he would not only have fun, but also get money.

The old man also smiled and squinted his eyes.

After Chen Tao collected the money, he asked, "Brother Xiaoran, are we going up the mountain tomorrow?"

Su Ran nodded: "Of course, I can earn at least 3,000 yuan tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll call my sister over as well!"

Su Ran: "What?"
