    The tall star anise tree has dark green leaves with an oily sheen. When the sun shines on it, you can see dense small oil spots. The octagonal fruits are plump. Some star anises are actually ripe, but most of them are not.  It matures faster because it is in a high place and is often exposed to sunlight.

    The breeze blew by, the leaves moved slightly, and the anise also swayed slowly. The fragrance floated from above and drifted in the woods along with the wind.

    Jiang Tian found a small stone and took aim.

    With a whoosh, the stone hit a relatively thin branch, and the branch immediately broke and fell down.

    There were several ripe star anise on it. Jiang Tian ran over and picked off the star anise. The juice stained his hands with a special fragrance.

    He was about to call his grandfather back, but found that he was missing.

    I looked around and saw nothing.

    Jiang Tian shouted: "Grandpa!"

    He is not afraid. If there is a wild animal approaching, he will definitely be able to sense it. If grandpa is in danger, he will not be so quiet. The only possibility is that he ran quietly without knowing where he went.

    "This way!"

    Grandpa¡¯s voice came from behind the star anise tree.

    Walking towards the sound, Jiang Tian found his grandfather squatting in front.

    "What's wrong?"

    Grandpa waved, "Look what good stuff I found!"

    Jiang Tian went over and saw a palm-sized Ganoderma lucidum there, and couldn't help but said: "There is really Ganoderma lucidum?"

    "Yeah, it seems that my nose works pretty well. The medicinal value of such a large Ganoderma lucidum is extraordinary. It can be used to make soup."

    My grandfather is a very down-to-earth person. If other people see Ganoderma lucidum, the first thing they think about is how much it can be sold for. Unlike him, he just wants to make soup for his grandson to replenish his health.

    As my grandfather spoke, he took off his coat, covered it with it, and gently picked off the Ganoderma lucidum.

    "I didn't expect to find a lot of windfalls when I entered the forest. It seems that I will have to visit more often in the future, but I need to consider the issue of wild animals." Grandpa murmured.

    "When I was young, I would go into the mountains every few days. I could find a lot of food there. If I was lucky, I could also catch some small beasts, such as pheasants and hares."

    Grandpa showed a nostalgic expression, "There was a famine at that time, and there was no food at all. It was only thanks to the mountains that so many people survived, but many people also died in the mouths of wild beasts."

    "Later I went to the battlefield, and when I came back I rarely went into the mountains. I no longer had the hard work of my youth. After all, I was married and had children, so I was afraid that something would happen to me."

    "I'm thinking about the past again. Let's go back. It's time to eat. I'm going to make old hen Ganoderma lucidum soup today. What do you want to eat, steamed buns or pancakes?"

    Grandpa thought of something good, "How about I cook sweet potato porridge for you? The sweet potatoes are ripe now."

    "Okay!" Jiang Tian agreed.

    They returned home, and grandpa went to the fields, broke some corn, and dug a lot of sweet potatoes.

    There are two types of sweet potatoes that my grandpa grows, one with yellow skin and the other with red skin.

    Red-skinned sweet potatoes are suitable for boiling, while yellow-skinned sweet potatoes are suitable for roasting.

    Jiang Tian had already cleaned the cooking pot. He and his grandfather washed part of the red sweet potatoes, peeled them off, cut them into pieces, and put them into the pot.

    Put the washed rice in, and pour the rice water on the flowers.

    Jiang Tian lit the fire and put corn cobs and branches inside, making a crackling sound.

    The flames continued to burn, baking the bottom of the pot. When it burned out, the plant ashes fell into the mouth under the earthen stove.

    Jiang Tian quickly went to get the yellow-skinned sweet potatoes and threw them in. As the ash from the vegetation continued to fall, it was gradually covered.

    He has liked roasted sweet potatoes since he was a child, and he often buys roasted sweet potatoes when he grows up. However, he always feels that the ones roasted by machines are not as delicious as those roasted in earthen stoves at home.

    When I was a kid, whenever I was cooking at home, I would throw a few sweet potatoes in, make the meal, and then take it out after the meal.

    Grandpa has also cleaned the old hen and started making soup after cleaning it.

    Jiang Tian joked: "Grandpa, the roosters and hens you raised have eaten a lot in just a few days."

    GrandmaThe master said with a smile: "Isn't it just for food? What's the matter? But I really need to get some chickens in a few days. I just want to go to the market tomorrow to see if there are any for sale.  "

    "It seems that there are quite a lot of things to buy now. After heavy rain, the weather will slowly turn cooler. It's fine during the day, but the temperature drops sharply at night. You didn't bring many clothes when you came. Wait.  Go to the supermarket and buy some, and then buy a quilt cover or something."

    "No, I can just buy it online. If it can't be delivered to the village, you can get it in the town."

    "I forgot that you can still shop online. New things are emerging too fast now. At my age, I am a bit behind the times. Can I buy everything online?" Grandpa asked curiously.

    "Well, everything is available online now. If you want to buy something, just search online, and then a large number of merchants will appear. Then you can click in and take a look at the products. However, the quality is hard to say. After all, it is not as intuitive as offline.  look."

    ¡°Grandpa, if you need anything, I¡¯ll buy it for you.¡±

    Grandpa waved his hand, "I don't need anything. There is everything here, and there is no shortage of anything."

    Jiang Tian has no choice but to go to the mall tomorrow to buy some clothes for his grandpa.

    The village is still too remote. If it is convenient, the courier can deliver it here.

    Grandpa put the ingredients into the soup pot, lit the fire, and found a stool to sit next to.

    "You liked to eat roasted sweet potatoes when you were a child. You often ate them and your face was covered in black ash, just like a tabby cat."

    Jiang Tian also remembered what happened at that time and laughed.

    Grandpa hesitated, "Can I see how to access the Internet?"

    Jiang Tian was stunned for a moment, "Of course you can, that's it."

    He took out his mobile phone and explained: "First connect the mobile phone to the Internet, and then you can click on this software. There are various items in it, all classified."

    "Wait a moment." Grandpa ran out of the house, took out his reading glasses, and looked at it carefully.

    It can be seen that grandpa is still very interested in new things, but the conditions here are not good, so he has never really understood it.

    Jiang Tian is like a teacher now, and grandpa is a primary school student, listening to the class very seriously.

    There is an old man and a young man, there is a flickering fire in the earthen stove, and the aroma slowly wafts out of the pot, forming a wonderful picture.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
