I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

Chapter 565 - 565: The Bean Sprout

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

MO Ruyue and the old village chief explained some of the essentials to the people who were digging bamboo shoots and then prepared to go down the mountain. It was almost time for lunch. MO Ruyue was a little hungry after walking on the mountain.

However, she was still unwilling to give up. When she went down the mountain, she took a detour from another road. Usually, no one took this road because it was more remote and not so safe.

Perhaps MO Ruyue was just lucky. They turned into this road, and halfway through, Wei Yi and MO Ruyue saw a wild rabbit.

Since he had seen it, how could he let it go? Wei Yi quickly chased after it. Chasing rabbits was a piece of cake for Wei Yi.

However, when he was walking back with the hare by its ear, MO Ruyue suddenly stopped him.

Wei Yi did not understand what was going on either, but he still managed to stop in time, maintaining a raised leg.

“Take a step back to the left.”

Wei Yi did as he was told.

MO Ruyue had already walked to the spot where Wei Yi had been standing. She pushed a few times and the snow on the slightly raised ground had fallen off, revealing a plant. The plant’s backer was a small cluster of shrubs, just enough to support a small world for the plant.

Wei Yi and the old village chief watched as MO Ruyue pulled out the dagger from her leg and began to dig at the ground. As she dug, she broke off a thick branch from the bush and slowly dug at the soil. She looked very careful.

The old village chief stepped forward, wanting to see what MO Ruyue was doing.

“Madam, what do you want to do? Let me do it.”

Wei Yi could already see what MO Ruyue was digging. Even though he was not a doctor and did not know what herbs she was digging, he could still recognize the most familiar ginseng.

The old village chief came over and saw several red fruits on the light pole. He was very excited. This madam was indeed a lucky star. They had lived here for many years and went up the mountain to collect firewood every day. No one had ever come across this ginseng.

After a short while, MO Ruyue dug out the whole ginseng. It wasn’t small and looked at least a hundred years old.

Because it was winter, the leaves on the pole were long gone, leaving only a green root with a few red fruits on it.

“Do any of you recognize herbs?”

“If you find any herbs on the mountain, as long as they are herbs, no matter what kind of herbs they are, I will take them all.”

MO Ruyue was very happy. She could find ginseng on a random trip, especially under the heavy snow. There would definitely be more when the snow melted.

“Yes, there is a barefoot doctor in our village.”

The old village chiefs eyes lit up again.

“The medicinal properties of the herbs in the north are all very good. It’s exactly what we doctors lack.”

“I’ll give you an address in a while. If you have herbs in the future, send them to me or write to me, I can send someone to get them myself.”

“Alright!’

This madam was indeed a great benefactor!

MO Ruyue was very happy to have a good looking hundred-year ginseng.

When they went down the mountain and entered the village, they saw two emaciated children holding dead branches that they had picked up. They were already as tall as themselves as they walked home with difficulty in the snow. MO Ruyue could not bear to see the two children’s skinny faces, only their big eyes. She wanted everyone here to have a meal.

“Wei Yi, quickly go back with Wei Er. Skin all the prey from yesterday and send some meat to every family in the village.”

Every household in the village received meat from Wei Yi and Wei Er. Many people were embarrassed to accept it, but when they saw the children at home who were crying and the old people who were about to starve to death, they were thick-skinned enough to accept it.

The villagers personally sent Wei Yi and Wei Er out of the house. Wei Yi and Wei Er only stopped when they asked them to go back.

Originally, they only Imew that a beautiful lady like a fairy had come to the village, but they did not expect that this lady’s heart was as kind as that fairy.

The old village chief watched helplessly as Wei Yi and Wei Er distributed the big worm. Basically, every family in the village received a small piece. Just that small piece was enough for them to make a big pot of meat soup.

The old village chief felt sorry for MO Ruyue. That big insect could be sold for a lot of money in town, yet it was eaten by these people.

MO Ruyue looked at the pained expression on the old village chiefs face and felt a little amused. It was as if he was giving her meat. She knew that the old village chief was thinking of her.

“By the way, Auntie, can you give me some soybeans? I’ll make something delicious for you.”

“Hey, I’ll go get it for you now.”

The village chief’s wife came out with a big bag of soybeans.

“Auntie, I want to make a vegetable with beans. Watch from the side and remember the process. In the future, you can cook it yourself, tell others, or sell it. Most importantly, this way, you won’t only eat boiled beans and tofu in winter.”

The old village chief and his wife were now very convinced by MO Ruyue’s words. Not only did the old Village Chief’s wife stand beside MO Ruyue and watch her actions, but the old Village Chief also followed closely behind MO Ruyue.

Chun Hua brought over a basin. MO Ruyue poured a lot of soybeans into it and washed it with water. She then scooped out all the dried beans floating on top of the basin.

After the soybeans were washed, they were soaked in clean water again.

“At night, when the beans are soaked, you can fish them out.”

Because MO Ruyue said that she wanted to use the beans to make other dishes, the old village chief and his wife would go to see the soaked beans when they were free all day. At night, MO Ruyue said that they could fish them out to control the water.

During the day, MO Ruyue had asked Wei Er to make a wooden box that was as deep as a basin. She washed it clean and brought it over.

The wooden box had not been painted with lacquer, so it had a good filter. MO Ruyue had even drilled a hole in the bottom.

It was fine to lay a piece of cotton or linen at the bottom of the box, then evenly spread the soaked beans and cover them with a layer of light-blocking cloth. Then, he placed the wooden box at the corner of the kang and kept the temperature at 27 or 28 degrees. He sprinkled some water on the beans every day. After five days, there would be bean sprouts to eat.

“Do you understand now? Isn’t it very simple?” “You can make vegetables just like that?”

“Even I can understand it, let alone this old woman.” The old village chief quickly expressed his opinion.

“It’s good that you understand. Let’s just wait.”

MO Ruyue stayed in the village for five days in order to give the village something to eat.

Of course, MO Ruyue did not stay there for nothing during these five days. Every day, she would wander around the mountain to see if she could find anything useful to eat.

In these five days. she had also found a few medicinal herbs. It was also because of the ginseng that she had been inspired. When she went up the mountain, she would use a stick to pat the small pile of snow. After the snow fell, she could see what was inside.

MO Ruyue found another two lingzhi, two tubers of knotweed, and a ginseng that was thicker than the one she found earlier.

The village chief and his wife woke up early in the morning on the sixth day. They had already seen the bean sprout. It was as long as a finger.

The two of them had no idea how to eat the bean sprouts.

“This thing looks white and tender. I wonder if it’ll taste good when dipped in soy sauce.”

“It’s probably delicious.”

The old village chief replied to his wife. He pinched a bean sprout, broke off a little white and tender bud, and put it into his mouth to chew. It was crunchy.

“What’s that smell? Is it delicious?

The village chief’s wife looked at her old man nervously.

“No smell.”

The old village chief blinked. “But this should be stir-fried like vegetables.”

“That’s right. It’ll be very delicious if you add some salt to the pot and stir-fry it. ”

MO Ruyue overheard the old couple’s lovely conversation when she came over.

She was afraid that if she did not come out, the old village chief would throw the beans into his mouth and eat them raw.

“These bean sprouts must be cooked before they can be eaten..”
