The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Chapter 415 Picking Autumn Mushrooms

"I ate it in the military camp." General Qi held the bowl and ate without pause.

Madam Qi on the side didn't quite believe it. "There are such delicious things in the military camp, and they taste sweet. Do you guys like to eat this?"

Everyone laughed, and if you put yourself in their shoes, you will find it a little unbelievable.

"Madam, this is indeed a little unbelievable, but it is true." General Qi said with a smile. "I remember it was a local specialty. A soldier's family came to visit him in the barracks and brought it over. We also ate it once."

Qi Rui took over the conversation, "He was a cook under my command. This thing was made by his niece, and then he donated it."

"So that's really the case. Was this kudzu root powder sent by that soldier?"

"No, it was sent by Chengfeng."

Mrs. Qi thought that Chengfeng bought it, but she didn't expect that this thing was actually made by them.

"It just so happens that the location of the iron mine is very close to the hometown of the cook under my command. His niece and Chengfeng made this kudzu root powder."

"It is indeed fate, but Chengfeng is also thoughtful. He even sent this good thing to Kyoto."

Qi Rui smiled. He also brought a lot of good things when he came back.

But now is not the time to take it out, he has to choose a good time.

After dinner, Qi Rui followed his father into the study. The father and son chatted all night, and no one knew what they were talking about.

In late autumn, mushrooms appear in large numbers in the mountains.

Some are yellow, some are green, and each one is bigger than the other.

If we don't pick them and take them home, letting them rot on the mountain, it would be a waste of resources.

Zhou Mingjie and Zhou Mingyuan finally got a day off and got up early to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms.

"Big sister, second sister, third sister, hurry up, Sandan and I are already ready."

Even the donkey cart had been harnessed early in the morning, and they were just waiting for the three aunts.

"Okay, okay, bring a few more baskets. There are too many mushrooms on the mountain. I'm afraid you won't want to come back."

"Take it, take it."

There were four backpacks, two baskets and two large basins placed side by side on the car.

If we pick all the mushrooms, it will be enough for the restaurant to use for a day.

"Okay, bring food and drinks, and let's go."

If you want to go, go to the forest where there are many mushrooms. Leave the nearby mountains to the neighbors in the village, as they want to go to the oak forest in the distant mountains.

There are many oak trees and pine trees there, and the altitude is high, so there are rich varieties of mushrooms and it is rarely visited by people.

"Bring Hu Zi with you. He can now pick mushrooms and help us watch over snakes."

"Row."

Five sisters, brothers and a dog drove a donkey cart and rode horses towards the distant mountains.

They walked up first carrying baskets, and then threw a basket every certain distance. They planned to pick up the items from above, which would save them some effort.

"These wild vegetables are so good, let's pick some and take them home to make big dumplings to eat."

"Hahaha, I knew that Big Sister couldn't bear to part with this bunch of garlic, so I prepared a bag for you a long time ago. Let's pick some mushrooms. When the bag is full, we can start picking mushrooms."

"Hahaha good."

The wild garlic here is really fresh and tender. It is super fragrant whether it is wrapped in barbecued meat, made into buns or other dishes.

Even if Zhou Mingqin didn't ask, she would still pick some to take home.

This mountain is so high, we can’t climb it in vain.

The leaves of the garlic grew fat and big, and they each picked a few handfuls and filled the bags.

After doing all this, they started picking mushrooms.

There are mushrooms everywhere in the woods, so you don't have to look for them.

They were everywhere, on the dead branches and among the dead leaves. They could just squat down without having to stand up.

There are yellow fir mushrooms, chanterelles, hazel mushrooms, various boletus mushrooms, blue-headed mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and black fungus... There is nothing that cannot be found. There are so many clumps of mushrooms that it is impossible to pick them all up.

Zhou Mingshu held a small blade in his hand with the tail wrapped with cloth.

She picked up a mushroom and peeled it, removing the part with dirt at the root.

In this way, the basket will be lighter, and it can hold more mushrooms, making it easier to handle when you get home.

The only drawback is that picking mushrooms is slower.

The chanterelles at her feet were so big that when she clenched her fist, they were as big as hers.

This forest is really rich in nutrients. Picking a few mushrooms of this size is enough to buy a bowl of rice.

"Sanya, there are so many mushrooms in this mountain, why doesn't anyone come to pick them? It's a pity that they are all rotting in the mountain."

"It's mainly because it's too far. It's not easy to go back and forth without a car. Uncle Cai and Aunt Caixia would definitely want to come and pick them, but they are busy enough helping us with work every day, so they don't have the time."

"That's true. Not many families in our village have cars. If we want to eat mushrooms, we can only find them in the nearby mountains."

"Yeah, if we have a car, we can go farther and pick more mushrooms during the mushroom season so we can eat them in winter."

"That's right. In winter, we don't have that many vegetables in our garden. If we don't save more mushrooms, we won't be able to open a store."

"Makes sense."

While Xiaojie and Mingyuan are at home, the five of them can pick two donkey carts of mushrooms a day.

One truck was sent back in the morning and another truck was sent back in the afternoon.

They pick out some that are in poor condition and eat them, and dry the rest into dried mushrooms for storage.

"This hazel mushroom stewed with chicken is delicious. This bunch is enough for a bowl. Let's pick some more and stew them with kudzu root vermicelli. It will be so delicious that it will make your eyebrows fall off."

There were so many hazel mushrooms that they filled the entire dead tree stump inside and out.

Just one stump can fill a basket.

Although there are many varieties of mushrooms on this mountain, at a glance, the yellow fir mushrooms, chanterelles and hazel mushrooms are still the most popular!

The next thing is porcini mushrooms. There is a small one every five steps and a big one every ten steps. You can pick them all the time.

Zhou Mingshu and his people are all picking hemp!

Two truckloads of mushrooms were transported home, and two of the baskets were dumped directly in the restaurant's yard.

Let the mothers-in-law in the village wash it, and those who need to make soup will make soup, and those who need to stir-fry will stir-fry dishes.

The rest of the mushrooms were transported back to Lianglin Village.

Pick out the weeds and dead leaves, trim the mycorrhizae, split the large mushrooms with a knife, and spread them directly on the roof to dry.

A batch of mushrooms can be dried in two or three days.

"Second sister, you guys pick them first. I'm going to go to the military defense camp to give Master Chengfeng some mushrooms. These outsiders don't know these mushrooms. If they like to eat them, I'll call them to go into the mountains to pick them together."

"Okay, then go and come back quickly."

There are so many mushrooms at home, and one less person to do the work would mean less effort.
