In the past, mountain delicacies usually referred to various mountain products, including some rare wild mountain animals.
Of course nowadays, since many wild animals are protected, hunting and eating them is prohibited.
Therefore, today’s mountain delicacies mostly refer to some rare mushrooms and wild vegetables in the mountains, including many common or rare mushrooms, such as Alpinia fasciata and Hericium erinaceus. They also include some rare wild vegetables, such as the most common shepherd’s purse and fern.
In the mountains behind Yanghu Township, there are naturally no particularly precious mushrooms such as ACEM.
However, there are also some edible mushrooms in the mountains, which are picked and sold as mountain delicacies by people living in the mountains. The most common ones are "Thunder God Mushroom", also known as ground wood ear or ground ear. In Feng Yifan's hometown, it is also commonly known as "ground ear skin".
Another type of wild vegetables among the mountain delicacies are even more common. Whether it is shepherd's purse or fern, it can be said that they are quite common in the market.
Feng Yifan had ignored all of this before, and he didn't realize that his hometown had such delicious wild delicacies.
After listening to his daughter's words, Feng Yifan was greatly inspired and felt that he could make use of the wild delicacies.
So early the next morning, Feng Yifan prepared to go to the village market with his father-in-law to see if there were any suitable wild delicacies that they could buy and cook.
Feng Ruoruo, who was originally going to the vegetable base with her grandparents, immediately asked to go with her father and grandfather when she learned that they were going to the market to buy wild delicacies. The little girl also strongly requested that her father must go to visit Sister Wenwen's house.
At his daughter's insistence, Feng Yifan had no choice but to bring his wife and daughter along.
Then the family split up into two groups, and Ruoruo's grandparents continued to work at the vegetable base.
Feng Yifan pushed his father-in-law, took his wife and daughter, and accompanied by Ning Cheng, went to visit Han Wenwen's house first, and then prepared to go to the market to look for wild delicacies.
When they arrived at Han Wenwen's house, Feng Ruoruo shouted loudly before they even entered the door: "Sister Wenwen, Sister Wenwen, please come out quickly. My parents, grandpa and I are here. And you don't have to sell the vegetables at home at the market. You can sell them all to my dad."
When Feng Yifan heard his daughter's cry, he said to his wife, "So our Ruoruo wants me to buy wild vegetables from her good friend's house?"
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "You just found out about this? Your daughter came to Sister Wenwen's house a long time ago and saw those wild vegetables and some mushrooms being dried. She asked about them, and Han Wenwen said they were picked from the mountains, and then they were dried and sold in the town."
Feng Yifan was a little surprised: "Uncle Han started the vegetable farm with my parents, so he shouldn't be short of this little money, right?"
Su Ruoxi pouted and said to her husband, "Who said Han Wenwen picked those things to sell because the family was short of money?"
Feng Ruoruo said immediately, "Dad, Sister Wenwen said that she picked those fruits from the mountains and sold them to earn some pocket money for herself."
Feng Yifan suddenly understood, and Su Ruoxi said, "Did you hear that? Han Wenwen wants to earn some pocket money so that she can buy stationery or some books without having to ask her family for money all the time. Han Wenwen is a good girl."
Feng Ruoruo also said, "Yes, yes, Sister Wenwen is amazing. She has saved a lot of small change."
Feng Yifan smiled and pinched his daughter's face: "Then Ruoruo should learn from Sister Wenwen in the future. When you go back, you can do some work at home, and then let your mother give you money. In this way, Ruoruo can also save some money and buy stationery and books for herself in the future, okay?"
When Feng Ruoruo heard her father say this, the little girl was immediately very happy: "Okay, Ruoruo also wants to make money on her own."
Su Ruoxi slapped her husband and said, "Can't you teach her something good? Ruoruo is still so young, you can only teach her how to make money, right?"
Feng Yifan smiled and replied: "I am teaching her that if she wants to earn money, she must do the corresponding work. Any work must be rewarded accordingly. This can also motivate our daughter to work more actively. For example, when she passed me the menu before, I should actually give her a little money as a labor wage."
After hearing what her husband said, Su Ruoxi fell into deep thought for a moment, and was somewhat hesitant as to whether she should teach her daughter in this way.
On the contrary, Su Jinrong smiled and agreed after hearing this: "Well, this is a good idea. We need to let Ruoruo know from a young age that the rewards of labor cannot be obtained without labor. If you want to obtain wealth, you need to exchange it through labor and accumulate it yourself before you can accumulate wealth."
Seeing that her father also agreed with this approach, Su Ruoxi had no choice but to agree.
Feng Ruoruo was already looking forward to it: "Dad, when I go home today, I will help you and mom wash the dishes. Can you give me some money?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, but if Ruoruo drops the dishes while washing them, she will have to compensate for it."
Feng Ruoruo immediately exclaimed: "Ah, I still have to pay compensation?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Of course, since we have to work, we have to be serious. We can't just say that we made a mistake and there is no punishment at all, so Ruoruo must take the work seriously."
Feng Ruoruo thought for a moment and said, "Well, okay, I'll learn from my mom when I get home."
Seeing his daughter agreed, Feng Yifan smiled and touched her little head: "Well, Ruoruo is really good. If Ruoruo can finish washing the dishes, then Daddy will pay Ruoruo 5 yuan, okay?"
Feng Ruoruo immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay."
When Su Ruoxi saw the conversation between the father and daughter, she originally wanted to stop her husband, but she found the conversation between her husband and daughter quite interesting, so she finally did not interrupt the conversation between the father and daughter, which was regarded as her tacit approval of her husband's teaching to her daughter.
Han Wenwen came out of the house late, opened the door and saw Feng Ruoruo and the others standing at the door.
When Feng Ruoruo saw Sister Wenwen, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Sister Wenwen and said, "Sister Wenwen, you can sell your vegetables to my father. My father wants to buy them. This way you don't have to go to the town to sell them. Sister Wenwen, you can also take Ruoruo to the mountains to pick them, and then Ruoruo can sell them to my father."
Only after hearing this did Han Wenwen finally understand that Feng Yifan was coming to her house to buy the mushrooms and wild vegetables she had picked from the mountains.
At this time, a voice came from Han Wenwen's house: "Wenwen, who is it? Is Ruoruo looking for you again?"
Hearing the voice, Feng Yifan responded loudly: "Uncle Han, it's me, Yifan, I came to see you."
The person inside heard Feng Yifan's voice and quickly walked out of the house.
"Oh, it's really Yifan. I heard you're back, but you seem to be very busy these days, so I haven't seen you. But I'm already very familiar with your daughter. She often comes to play with Wenwen. She's a lively and smart girl, and very healthy."
When Feng Ruoruo saw the person coming out, she immediately shouted, "Hello, Grandpa Han."
The old man smiled and responded, "Okay, Ruoruo."
Then, the old man invited Feng Yifan and his party in.
Seeing that Su Jinrong had also come, Grandpa Han took the initiative to greet Su Jinrong and asked everyone to sit in the yard. The old man also made tea for everyone and brought out various roasted snacks from home, and asked everyone to sit in his yard to eat, drink and chat.
Soon after Feng Yifan entered the Han family's courtyard, he said to Han Wenwen, "Can you let me see your things?"
Mr. Han was still a little confused: "What is it? Wenwen, what does your uncle Yifan want to see?"
Without waiting for Han Wenwen to answer, Feng Ruoruo rushed to say, "Grandpa Han, my dad is here to buy the vegetables and mushrooms that Sister Wenwen picked, so that Sister Wenwen doesn't have to go to town to sell them. She can sell them to my dad. In the future, I will go with Sister Wenwen to pick them and sell them all to my dad."
After hearing what the little girl said, Mr. Han immediately said, "Hey, those wild vegetables and mushrooms? If your uncle Yifan needs them, you should give them to them. Why do you still want to make money from your uncle Yifan?"
Feng Yifan immediately said, "No, no, no, Uncle Han, Wenwen picked those things herself. She worked hard, so she should be rewarded. I will definitely give her a suitable price. If she doesn't pay, I can't take them."
When Mr. Han heard Feng Yifan say this, he was also a little surprised: "What do you mean by hard work? Aren't there plenty of those things in the mountains?"
At this time, Han Wenwen's grandmother also came out: "Yes, there are a lot of them in the mountains, but no one has gone into the mountains to pick them in recent years, because the villagers are now following your parents. We can earn more by growing vegetables, so we don't have to go to the mountains to find those things."
Mr. Han continued, "Yes, in the past, people lived off the mountains and rivers, which also destroyed the mountains and rivers. Now that everyone grows vegetables and earns a good income, they will not destroy the mountains and rivers."
Then Grandpa Han turned back to the wild vegetables and mushrooms that Han Wenwen had picked.
"In fact, Grandma Wenwen and I don't want her to go to the mountains to collect those things. The girl is grown up, and we old couple can't control her. She insists on going to the mountains to collect those things. Fortunately, she has been running and playing in the mountains since she was a child, so there will be no danger. Otherwise, I don't know how to tell her parents."
Han Wenwen had been sitting aside playing with Feng Ruoruo, listening to what her grandparents said. She had something on her mind, but she didn't dare to say it.
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Uncle Han, Auntie, please don't be polite. I think Wenwen is doing well. She knows how to work hard to get what she wants. So you should be happy and encourage her. But you must pay attention to safety when you go into the mountains, understand? Wenwen?"
When Han Wenwen heard this, she immediately agreed: "I know."
Feng Yifan continued, "Okay, bring out all your wild delicacies and let me take a look. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a good price, guaranteed to be higher than what you would get in town."
This time, Han Wenwen's grandparents did not stop her, and Han Wenwen also took out her wild vegetables and mushrooms.
Feng Yifan didn't expect that Han Wenwen would take out so many things.
Although the number is small, there are indeed many types.
There are several kinds of mushrooms common in the mountains, and also various wild vegetables, such as shepherd's purse, fern, dandelions and wild chrysanthemums, as well as some dried strips of skin.
Feng Yifan looked at them and smiled, "Not bad? It seems like Wenwen is quite capable. She was able to collect so many?"
Grandma Wenwen said immediately: "This girl can't sit still. She likes to run around with her pet dog. She often goes to the mountains to collect these things and wash and dry them herself. When she collects a lot, she asks people in the village to take them to the market in town to sell."
Feng Yifan gave Han Wenwen a thumbs up after hearing this: "Great, you have such a business mind at such a young age, you are a good seedling, work hard, uncle is optimistic about you."
Han Wenwen felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
"Uncle Yifan, I just want to find something to do. I think I can't ask my grandparents for money for everything. Although these things can't be exchanged for much money, at least they can be exchanged for some money, and then I can buy stationery and books for myself."
Feng Yifan gave a thumbs up again: "Good idea, uncle supports you."
Then Feng Yifan took out his wallet and took out 500 yuan from it and gave it to Han Wenwen.
Seeing Feng Yifan take out 500 yuan at once, Han Wenwen was scared, and Han Wenwen's grandparents were also scared.
Old Man Han said quickly: "Yifan, you gave too much. How can these things be worth so much money? You are spoiling the child too much. The child is just playing with them. If you give so much money, I won't let Wenwen sell them to you."
After hearing what her grandfather said, Han Wenwen also came to her senses and said, "Uncle Yifan, this is too much money. These are not worth so much money. I can't take them."
Feng Yifan said seriously, "No, this money is not only for buying these things, but also a reward for your hard work and your heart. Although your family is not short of this little money, you are willing to work hard to earn the money you need. This heart deserves a reward."
Then he turned to Mr. Han and said, "Uncle Han, you have raised a good child. The 500 yuan I gave was actually too little. Wenwen also taught my daughter a lesson today. I really thank Wenwen, Uncle Han and Auntie. Thank you."
Still without letting anyone speak, Feng Yifan looked at his daughter and asked, "Ruoruo, what did you learn today?"
Feng Ruoruo tilted her little head, her face full of seriousness, and thought about it very seriously.
After thinking for a while, the little girl said, "Dad, I learned something today. I will go pick these vegetables with Sister Wenwen and sell them to Dad for some money."
Feng Ruoruo's words immediately caused everyone to laugh.
Feng Yifan didn't expect his daughter to say that, and couldn't help but laugh along.
But after laughing, Feng Yifan still stuffed the money into Han Wenwen's pocket and said seriously, "Wenwen, you must take this money. If you go into the mountains to collect these in the future, you must remember to pay attention to safety and not go too deep. You can only go to the periphery of the mountain. Do you understand?"
Han Wenwen turned her head to look at her grandparents, and only accepted the money after getting their nod of agreement.
Then she also agreed seriously: "Well, Uncle Yifan, I know, I won't go to the mountains."
Feng Yifan was very happy after buying various wild delicacies picked by Han Wenwen from the mountains. He felt that these things could add a lot of new flavors to his dishes.
