The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 577 Picking Mushrooms in a Small Valley

Just after dinner, it started to rain.

The rain was quite heavy at first. Ye Qingqing thought it would rain all night, but unexpectedly it stopped after a while.

Seeing that it was raining, Ye Qingqing wanted to pick mushrooms in the mountains again, especially gallinobacteria and morels in the small valleys.

Ordinary dried mushrooms are not worth much, but sun-dried gallinophilia costs 120 yuan per catty, and sun-dried morels cost 160 yuan per catty, which is not much worse than bamboo fungus.

Ye Qingqing stopped wiping his hair and looked at Tang Xiaojing excitedly.

"Ms. sir, let's go to the mountain to pick mushrooms tomorrow. I want to go to the small valley to pick gallbladder mushrooms and morels."

"There are a lot of morels and gallinaceous mushrooms in the small valley. It rained just now, so we will definitely be able to pick a lot of mushrooms tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll stop by and see how the Polygonatum and Gastrodia elata grown last time are doing."

Tang Xiaojing took the thick cloth from Ye Qingqing's hand and wiped her hair carefully. After wiping her hair, she massaged Ye Qingqing's scalp.

Just when Ye Qingqing was drowsy, Tang Xiaojing suddenly picked up Ye Qingqing in the air.

"We have to get up early tomorrow, let's go to bed early."

Ye Qingqing pushed Tang Xiaojing's shoulder, "The candle, the candle hasn't been blown out yet."

"It's okay. There is only a small part of the candle left, and it will be extinguished soon."

........

"Tang Xiaojing, you liar."

........

He said he wanted to get up early, but Ye Qingqing still couldn't get up. He didn't even know when Tang Xiaojing got up.

Finally, Ye Qingqing was called out by Tang Xiaojing who had finished breakfast.

After Ye Qingqing got up, she didn't even look at Tang Xiaojing, and she didn't give him a good look before going out.

The two of them went out late. On the way, Ye Qingqing kept urging Tang Xiaojing to speed up the ox cart.

It's too much trouble, she still has to go pick mushrooms.

Tang Xiaojing once again sighed that his wife, a little money addict, likes money more than him.

The road was still so bumpy. When they reached Stone Mountain, Ye Qingqing felt that his butt was almost numb.

As soon as the ox cart stopped, Da Huang and Xiao Huang jumped down excitedly.

Tang Xiaojing helped Ye Qingqing get out of the bullock cart. Two long-term workers just came down from Rabbit Mountain, and the harvest today was not bad.

In Rabbit Mountain alone, there are 6 hares and a live wild goat, and the wild goat is quite fat, weighing about 40 pounds.

Tang Xiaojing saw that the wild goat was only slightly injured, so he asked the long-term worker to lock the wild goat in the cowshed first.

Tomorrow he was going to the county to deliver rabbits to Shopkeeper Liang, and he happened to bring this wild goat with him.

Then two more long-term workers came down from Stone Mountain, but there were not many prey in Stone Mountain, only 5 hares.

Tang Xiaojing planned to turn all 11 hares into wax rabbits. In addition, he asked the long-term workers to put away the skins. He wanted to take them back and study how to tan the skins.

The first batch of rabbit skins made in Tangshan will be dug out in a few days, and the three members of the Tang family are looking forward to it.

If this leather can be made successfully, you won’t have to worry about these rabbit skins at home in the future.

Ye Qingqing can also make rabbit fur coats. If she can get the skin out, she can make rabbit fur coats.

Ye Qingqing felt happy when she thought that her family could make more money.

After arranging the prey, Tang Xiaojing took Ye Qingqing, Dahuang and Xiaohuang together to the Stone Mountain.

There were many medicinal herbs growing on the mountain. Tang Xiaojing went up the mountain almost every day. The long-term worker at home didn't think much when he saw Tang Xiaojing taking Ye Qingqing up the mountain.

The two of them first went to the stone wall halfway up the mountain to look at some dendrobium trees.

There are four dendrobium trees on the stone wall. Tang Xiaojing will pick two of them every year and the rest every other year.

After two years of rest and recovery, when you pick it again, it will be a lush dendrobium tree again.

Ye Qingqing looked up and could only see the outermost dendrobium tree, which had many new branches growing compared to the last time he came here.

The other three dendrobium trees are behind a big stone and are tightly blocked by the stone.

Tang Xiaojing walked to the side of the stone wall and saw that there were no traces of anyone passing by, so he safely took Ye Qingqing to the small valley.

The two came to the dense forest and took a look at the first wild ginseng tree discovered.

Ye Qingqing felt that this first wild ginseng was an auspicious sign.

It was precisely because of the first wild ginseng tree that Da Huang and Xiao Huang were able to find the small valley by relying on the taste of wild ginseng.

Only then did the two discover the wild ginseng and numerous medicinal herbs in the small valley.

The little wild ginseng still looked the same as the last time Ye Qingqing came here, and it didn't seem to grow any taller.

But there seem to be more leaves on it, and the color of the leaves is more green.

This time, there was no need for Ye Qingqing to wink at Big Yellow and Little Yellow. They took the initiative to run towards the small valley on their own.

They have been there two or three times, and now the two of them no longer need Da Huang and Xiao Huang to lead the way, but are walking slowly behind.

The rocky hill is very steep and the rocks on it are very slippery.

Ye Qingqing held Tang Xiaojing's arm and climbed to the top with great effort, and then carefully moved to the bottom of the valley bit by bit.

The stone wall was not only bare, but also covered with moss. Ye Qingqing almost fell down several times.

When they went down to the valley, Ye Qingqing's legs felt a little weak and she complained softly:

"This small valley is very secretive. It's really difficult to get in."

Tang Xiaojing next to him joked: "It's obvious that your physical strength is too weak, but you can see that I can't do anything."

Ye Qingqing felt that these words were strange and seemed a bit unserious.

Before Ye Qingqing could figure it out, Tang Xiaojing hurriedly said: "If it were easy to get in, someone would have discovered this place long ago."

"What you said makes sense. We have already taken advantage, so we can't ask for anything else."

The two of them carried large backpacks behind them, a small basket in one hand, and a slender wooden stick in the other.

The valley is low-lying and relatively humid, and many mushrooms grow even when it doesn't rain.

It rained heavily last night, and the soil in the small valley was a little damp. The mushrooms on the ground grew more tender and juicy.

The two held bamboo poles, pushed aside the weeds and fallen leaves on the ground, and carefully searched for various mushrooms.

However, Ye Qingqing was thinking about morels and gallinobacteria, and specifically picked these two expensive mushrooms. For ordinary mushrooms, he only picked some of good quality.

Tang Xiaojing was more simple and crude. He picked all the edible mushrooms.

The two of them started searching from where they came in, not sparing any part of the ground. After a while, the small baskets in their hands were filled with dewy mushrooms.

While picking mushrooms, Tang Xiaojing also checked the herbs he had planted before.

Maybe the climate here is more suitable for growing herbal medicine. Most of the Gastrodia elata and Polygonatum seeds planted have sprouted, and now they have grown two or three small leaves.

If planted outside a small valley, at most only half of the seeds will germinate.

The three large, two small and three wild ginseng trees I discovered earlier are also growing well, and are a little taller than before, with a lot of leaves growing out.

The small piece of Polygonatum japonica next to the wild ginseng also grew lush and green, with several small seedlings growing from the roots.
