Hard times have room

Chapter 442 Crazy Mushroom Picking

After locking the door of the house, Pauline went straight to the kitchen, scooped water, poured a little water into her hand, and wiped it scribbly on her face. In less than ten seconds, her face was washed.

Except in winter, when it is really cold, Pauline will try to wash it with hot water or not. In other seasons, Pauline almost always washes by hand directly with water. The advantage is that it is fast and convenient, but the disadvantage is that , too sloppy.

Because of this, she is repeated by her mother about "lazy" more than ten times every year. One has been unwilling to change, and the other has been talking about it for seven or eight years, and both of them can persevere.

After washing her face, Paulin, who felt refreshed, walked slowly to the back mountain.

When we went out, it was still dark, but Paulin relied on her familiarity with the road, so she felt the darkness and walked slowly to the back mountain.

Along the way, Pauline didn't see her parents, let alone hear their voices, or find any trace of them.

I don't know if it was because the three of them got up too early or the dawn was very slow today. Paulin felt the darkness and walked slowly to the back of the mountain. It was the largest and most frequent entrance and exit. It was still dark today. It was a little embarrassing.

It was dark, and Pauline didn't dare to go inside. It was so dark, there was no certainty what was in it, and she didn't want to fold herself inside for some mushrooms.

Before, she dared to walk directly on the road because she was walking on a road that she was very familiar with from childhood to adulthood, that is, the road in the village is relatively wide, a dirt road that can take an ox cart, and can go from the head of the village all the way to the back mountain.

Normally, it's fine, but when it rains, even Paulin only dares to walk on the edge.

It was really in the middle, it was slippery and full of muddy water, even mud pits. The edges of the mud pits were very soft. If one was wrong, it would be easy to slip and slap your feet. What's more, your hands and feet were fractured. In the next month or two, There is nothing more troublesome and worrying than this in the village, so when it rains, people in the village avoid this road.

After waiting for a while, the sky was a little brighter, but it was still foggy, and I could see the road roughly. The size was okay, and the colors were brighter. This kind of thing that is more obvious in the woods can still be seen roughly. of.

For example, the white mushrooms at this time can still be seen clearly, because they are white, as long as one of them is exposed and not covered by pine weeds, it is easy to be found, and then other mushrooms are found. That is a logical thing to do.

Originally, Pauline was still hesitating whether to wait a while and then go in, but the weather right now is not that good. Even if you go in, the mushrooms you can find are very limited. It is better to wait here and wait for the sky. Make it brighter, and she will take turns sweeping away, not letting one go.

But at this time, Paulin saw the person behind her. She didn't know who it was, but just by looking at the outline, she knew that there were a lot of people, not to mention more than a dozen or [-] people.

As soon as she saw them, Pauline couldn't help it. She didn't care about the things she thought about before, she stepped directly into the woods in the back mountain, and time waited for no one.

At the very beginning, Pauline was reluctant to part with the mushrooms inside. When she saw some, she would squat down to pick them up. However, Pauline only stayed for 2 minutes and picked up more than 20 mushrooms. The people behind quickly caught up. Their words Pauline heard it all.

She didn't want to stay anymore, so she rushed forward. She remembered that if she walked forward for five or six minutes, there would be some small bamboos that no one would eat. In recent years, the range of growth has become wider and wider.

In recent years, the piece of bamboo that grows small, has also fallen in love with the long purple mushroom, the kind that grows into pieces, that place is no matter who goes, when, as long as you look carefully, you can always be there I found some purple mushrooms in a block of places, there are as many mushrooms as you can imagine.

She came so early today, and Pauline didn't want to waste it. If nothing else, she was the first to go to those places where she liked to grow mushrooms. It's not an exaggeration.

When she thinks of it, she will leave. By this time, Pauline can be described as running. The mushrooms that are more conspicuous on the road are not picked up by Pauline. The more you can't stop.

In the past five or six minutes, Pauline arrived in about four minutes this time. The sky is still not very bright. Although it is better than before, it is not too obvious, especially the purple mushroom she is looking for. It is light purple, which is a very subtle and difficult to detect color, especially in the current sky.

But when Pauline really got there, it seemed that everything was different from what she thought. When she was still on the periphery, Pauline saw a dozen or so purple mushrooms, about the size of half her fist, growing in a line. up, as if they were lining up to welcome her.

Bao Lin was not polite, and she would not let them down. She fished it into her hands at a fast speed, and put it into the basket with the pine needles and leaves next to it.

In the past, Pauline was very gentle when picking mushrooms. The bottom of the mushrooms close to the soil had to be pinched off, and the leaves on the top had to be cleaned. From finding a mushroom to putting it in her basket, it took 30 seconds. But now Pauline didn't care so much, when she thought of the twenty or so people behind her, she couldn't help shaking her hands with excitement, yes, she quickly put the mushrooms into the basket with shaking hands.

With the beginning, it will be much easier later. In the next time, Pauline will pick it up when she sees it. The speed is very fast. With the sound, Pauline couldn't stand it any longer. She put the mushrooms in the back basket into more than half of the space. Then, she walked straight ahead and rushed to the next location.

The basket of mushrooms she picked up here is very watery, because a lot of fallen pine needles and leaves were quickly picked up by her into the space. The mushrooms in the basket just now weighed about 25 catties. She just picked them up. After removing the leaves of the pine needles, it’s only about twenty catties, which is quite a lot. Many people’s daily harvest may not be that much. She only came in for ten minutes now, and she weighs almost twenty catties. It is simply a bumper harvest!

This time, Pauline had a taste of the sweetness, and in the next place, she did the same, and chose those places that liked to grow mushrooms.

A base of blue-headed mushrooms, three bases of purple mushrooms, two bases of white mushrooms, and about twenty kilograms of cockroach mushrooms. This morning was really full of harvests, but the space was obviously half as big. , maybe more than a pile of mushrooms to know how crazy her harvest was this morning.

It's a pity that this happened only once. The next time I come back, the mushrooms will not grow long. She will go back to school tomorrow. Her parents have no space. They still have to go to work, and each of them will bring back at most one basket or one sack of mushrooms every morning. Obviously, Paulin's method is not available to them.
