Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 261 Lingzhi Wine

Zhenzhu was also paying attention. Although the young master didn't like anyone following him into the mountains, he couldn't carry away the things he had picked, so he needed someone to help him. Hearing the voice, Zhenzhu hurried over to take the wild vegetables and Ganoderma lucidum from the young master.

Zhenzhu had a very accustomed expression on her face when seeing such a big Ganoderma lucidum. She was not surprised at all. She had seen Ganoderma lucidum bigger than this one. Her young master dug herbs more simply than other people dug wild vegetables. This Ganoderma lucidum was nothing. She didn't feel surprised at all.

But while Zhenzhu was used to it, others were not. Doctor Wen just glanced at it casually, and then his eyes widened: "Oh my God! Is this red Ganoderma?"

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the red Ganoderma lucidum that looked like a colorful mushroom and nodded calmly: "Yes!" Anyone who is not blind should be able to recognize it.

"Did you pick them nearby?"

"........With such a short time, I probably can't go too far." Shu Xiaoxiao replied calmly. She has encountered this kind of situation many times, so just keep a normal mind!

Doctor Wen still stared with a look of disbelief.

Such a big red Ganoderma lucidum! Look at the color and appearance, it is simply perfect! It is a quality that needs to be treasured no matter where it is placed.

He has walked around this area at least dozens of times, so how come he didn't find any red Ganoderma lucidum here? Then he looked at Master Ye who was being chased by the headmaster to feed him food. Could it be that God also looks at appearances? Then he really couldn't compete with him.

"Little... Master Ye, are you selling this Ganoderma lucidum?"

Shu Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, and then asked in a cryptic way, "Do you think I'm short of money?"

It was fine before, but ever since she had to make medicine for her father, brother, and senior brothers who were on the battlefield, she had to buy the medicine herself. And her eldest brother also said that good medicine is hard to come by, so she can't just sell the herbs she collected in the future.

Director Chu and Chef Fang also came over to watch the fun.

Master Chu stroked his beard and commented: "The quality is good." It seems that the young disciple is not only good at crops, but also has surprisingly good luck.

"Then Master, I will keep this for you to make wine!" Shu Xiaoxiao looked respectful. As long as the master was happy, her life would be easy. It was just a Ganoderma lucidum, no big deal.

Headmaster Chu nodded reservedly: "You decide."

He also knew a little about the young disciple's abilities. When he became his disciple, he originally did not want to accept the ginseng given to him as it was too expensive. He thought it was prepared for her by the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion must need such a good medicine more than he did.

Later, he looked at the apprentice's small pharmacy and knew that she had picked the ginseng herself. He also had some understanding of the young disciple's ability, so he did not refuse. However, he treated the ginseng as a family heirloom and it was very precious.

As for this Ganoderma lucidum, it may be very precious in the eyes of others, but it should not be a big deal to the little disciple. Just soak it in wine. As the master, he should just enjoy the little disciple's filial piety. Especially Doctor Wen's expression of wasting natural resources, well, this filial piety makes people feel more comfortable!

"Soak in wine?" Doctor Wen shouted in disbelief.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the master and the disciple, he finally reacted and added quickly: "It's good to soak in wine, it's good to soak in wine! Although I am not talented, I have some knowledge of these medicinal herbs. If it is possible, Master Ye, would you be willing to give this Ganoderma lucidum to me? The effect will definitely not disappoint Master Ye."

Seeing how generous the disciple was, he suddenly wanted to take in a disciple as well. His requirements were not high. He just wanted someone like Master Ye who could pick good herbs and make wine for his master. But he didn't know if it would be easy to find one.

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at her master. She studied medicine making and was very good at preparing medicinal materials and making wine with them. Mainly because Grandpa Ye was worried that she would waste them, preparing and making wine with them were the first things she learned.

It was because one time when she came back from collecting some herbs, she was delayed by something and forgot about the herbs. She put them aside for several days. When she remembered them, the herbs had turned white. So Grandpa Ye insisted that she learn these things.

According to Grandpa Ye, if you are too lazy to prepare the herbs, you can just soak them in wine, but you just can't waste them. So her skills in preparing herbs and soaking them in wine are all inherited from Grandpa Ye.

Principal Chu nodded slowly and said, "Doctor Wen is very skilled, so let's leave it to Doctor Wen."

Shu Xiaoxiao handed the Ganoderma to Doctor Wen neatly. Why should I be busy when I can be idle? I can't refuse someone's help.

Doctor Wen held the head-sized Ganoderma lucidum and stared at it intently. It was rare to see such a good-looking Ganoderma lucidum! So many of them could at least make a large jar of wine. Since he was being filial to Master Chu, he would be able to grind Master Chu well and get a small bottle! Even if he couldn't find such a generous apprentice, he would just borrow some from other apprentices.

I can also save myself the gift of paying homage to my teacher, Doctor Wen comforted himself in this way.

These Ganoderma lucidum grew on a big tree. The tree thought they were in the way and were stealing its nutrients, so it went to Shu Xiaoxiao to give them to her. It was said that there were many such trees in the mountains, all waiting for her to pick them and help.

So it is really not a waste at all to use this plant to make wine. If this plant is gone, there is still the next one, and the next one!

"Hey, where's Tao Baiqi? Why did he leave?" The potatoes in the field were almost half planted. Shu Xiaoxiao looked around and found that Baiqitao was not there.

"He has gone back to class. He will come over every day when he has time to check on the crops in the fields and make some records. I have already known the general process and will go back to class. You should also worry about it in the future. If there is anything that needs attention, tell him and let him record it."

"Oh, what a pity! I thought he was going to switch to agricultural science."

Shanzhang Chu really wanted to roll his eyes: "Do you think he is as idle as you? He comes from a poor family, and he usually helps Doctor Wen water the herbs, and he gets paid."

My little disciple, you don’t think that everyone is like her, do you? Can you earn a title by farming?

From the class of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, those who can come to study all want to become officials. As long as they are not stupid, they will not give up their studies to farm. There is no second Shu Xiaoxiao in the world.

"Well, then he won't have a good time. We are going to have a feast of wild vegetables today." Shu Xiaoxiao pointed at the wild vegetables in the basket.

Doctor Wen, who was about to leave with the red Ganoderma lucidum in his arms, hesitated for a moment when he heard about the wild vegetable banquet. He was ready to go back to pack the Ganoderma lucidum after dinner. It would be a shame not to eat the wild vegetable banquet prepared by the imperial chef.

The people that Dean Chu called to help were from the academy's kitchen. After all, their academy was on a mountain, and it was not convenient to buy vegetables every day. Therefore, there were several plots of land in the kitchen, where vegetables were grown. In addition to helping in the kitchen, these people were also in charge of the vegetables in the land. After helping, they would go back. They didn't have to worry about meals, and they just needed some wages. They were still happy to come and help, as it was considered extra money.

By this calculation, there were not many people eating the wild vegetable banquet, but thanks to Chef Fang's cooking skills, a large table of wild vegetable banquet was eaten up. The first meal of wild vegetables every year was especially delicious, and Doctor Wen left with his stomach held.

As for Dean Chu, he also spent a long time in the yard to digest his food before going back to rest. After the meal, Shu Xiaoxiao ate a lot of hawthorn to help digest the food before going back to rest.
