Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 12 No.12: Good things
As soon as he got down to the foot of the mountain, Zhou Shitou, who was chasing up on the mountain road at the back, shouted for Lihua while running.

"We picked a lot of mountain bubbles. They are sour and sweet, but they are delicious. Pear blossoms, you should take some to eat!"

Zhou Shitou was carrying a big basket, and the fungus only picked up half of the basket, but there were quite a lot of fungus wrapped in a big leaf.

Zhang Lihua was not polite to him, she reached out and grabbed two handfuls, and gave one to Song Qiu.

She has small hands and didn't grab much, so Zhou Shitou asked her to grab more.

"Enough is enough, let's take the rest back for Lanhua to eat." Zhang Lihua said, and had already fed one into her mouth, "Well, this year's mountain porridge is also more delicious than previous years!"

When Zhou Shitou listened, he grinned like a fool, his eyes were full of pear blossoms.

It's a pity that Zhang Lihua didn't pay attention at all because she was so focused on eating the mountain bubbles, or because she was too nervous, she didn't think much about it.

Song Qiu couldn't help snickering, and also tasted two mountain bubbles.

When she was a child in her previous life, she ate a lot of mulberries, but she rarely picked and ate the mulberries all over the mountains and plains, and she had forgotten what it tasted like.

When I got home, the mountain fungus I picked up in the morning had been processed by the old Yuan. Song Qiu and Zhang Lihua cleaned the half-basket together, squatting in front of the pressurized well, and quickly processed it.

The ones that cannot be sold are blanched together with the ones in the morning, and then spread out in a basket to dry.

Most of the good ones that can be sold are in the form of carrying baskets. Tomorrow, you can go directly to the Ping'an Daba to sell them. If you make a special trip to the town, it won't hurt to delay a day.

Before dawn the next day, Mrs. Yuan went to the Ping'an Fair with the fungus on her back. Song Qiu slept for an extra quarter of an hour and got up quickly.

He scooped up the water in the water tank, washed his face, rinsed his mouth, put on his back basket and went outside.

As soon as they walked into the yard, Zhang Lihua from the next door also came over with a basket on their backs, and the two of them went out through the fence gate and went up the mountain together.

Picking up mushrooms is a matter of two or three months. Of course, you have to be diligent and pick up when you have enough. Otherwise, if you miss it, you have to wait until next year.

So there is no delay for both of them, just rush up the mountain.

A few days ago, they were almost wandering around the nearby hills, but today they came early, and the two of them were together, so Song Qiu planned to go to the hills ahead.

There is a lot of dew in the early morning, and by the time I wear it to the top of the mountain, the hem of the skirt is already soaked.

Without further ado, I buried my head and began to look for and pick up mushrooms.

I have never been to this forest before, and the mushrooms under the trees under the cat are all fresh and tender, most of which were born last night, like this mung bean fungus, which is tender and beautiful.

Song Qiu picked up quite a few in a row, all of which were mung bean fungus, red bean fungus, pine fungus, chanterelle fungus, and big red fungus, all of which were delicious.

Common mountain mushrooms, everyone eats these kinds of mushrooms. They all know that they can be eaten and are not poisonous, so they are not afraid of eating them.

This kind of yellow and white one, which is as beautiful as an umbrella, is absolutely inedible.

Song Qiu just glanced at the two flowers, but skipped them without touching them.

These bacteria are highly poisonous and will kill you if you eat them.

In the later generations with such advanced medical treatment, some of them would die from eating it by mistake, not to mention the ancient times when the medical treatment was backward.

So don’t think about too many, just pick up common ones, a few kinds of mountain fungi that everyone knows.

In this mountain, these types of fungus are the most abundant. Song Qiu walked half of the mountain, and the back basket was half filled.

On the side of a big rock on the cliff, there was a cherry tree crooked, with many cherries hanging on it, the growth was not good, Song Qiu picked a small handful after picking for a long time, tasted one, it was a bit sour, It's not too sweet, but it's okay to stick your mouth.

She picked a leaf to wrap the cherry, and called Zhang Lihua as she walked there.

"Pear blossoms! I picked some cherries to quench my thirst."

After a while, Zhang Lihua's reply sounded from the forest not far ahead, and her voice seemed to be trembling.

When Song Qiu heard the movement, he simply leaned over there.

Soon, I saw Zhang Lihua running over from the other end, seeming to be holding something in his hand.

"what is this?"

Song Qiu asked, and when he got closer, he could see clearly that Zhang Lihua was holding a round, strip-shaped, honeycomb-like morel-like fungus with uneven fungus surface.

"Look, Aqiu! What kind of fungus is this? Can it be eaten? I've never seen it before." Zhang Lihua opened his hands to Song Qiu and asked her curiously.

Song Qiu's lips trembled, this... this is a morel mushroom!The king of fungi, extremely rare.

In later generations, morel mushrooms are sold at least a few hundred yuan a catty, and they are still artificially cultivated. If they are wild, they can sell for thousands of yuan a catty!
Let alone this place in ancient times.

"Is there only this one? Where did you pick it up? Take me to see it!" Song Qiu couldn't care less about the cherry in his hand, and hurriedly dragged Zhang Lihua over there.

"Yes, there are quite a few flowers there! I don't know if I can eat it, but I just picked one to show you!" Seeing Song Qiu's excitement, Zhang Lihua was also very happy, and the wind was blowing under his feet.

Soon, in a spruce forest, Zhang Lihua squatted down, pointed to a spot and said, "Here! It's here, there are five or six of them!"

Song Qiu squatted down after him, and saw these morels scattered around the tree, growing crookedly, covered under the big leaves of a miscellaneous tree, you couldn't really see it unless you looked carefully.

"Pear blossoms! This is a good thing!" Song Qiu's eyes were almost red, and his face was flushed with excitement. He put the leaves wrapped in cherries aside, and hurriedly picked up a few morels carefully. stand up.

Then wrap it with a large leaf.

"Pear Blossom, look for it again to see if there is still this piece."

When Zhang Lihua heard that Song Qiu said it was a good thing, she was so happy that she couldn't see her eyes. She quickly lay down on the ground, like a cat, and started to search around.

Song Qiu also searched everywhere, and soon found three or four under a tree not far away, covered in weeds, but they were not too big.

Two quarters of an hour later, the two of them almost picked up the whole area. They picked up a lot of mushrooms, but they couldn't find any other morels.

"This thing is precious, if you really want to find a lot of it, it's really impossible, but these few flowers are fine!" Song Qiu said.

Zhang Lihua listened, although she felt a little regretful that she couldn't find more, but she didn't know how rare this morel was. How much money can it sell for a catty? Is it more expensive than the chicken fir fungus?"

How much money can be sold?
Song Qiu is not too clear about this, but she knows that morel mushrooms were tributes in ancient times, and non-emperors could not eat them.

Now this dynasty is said to be an empty thing, but she doesn't know if it is so.

But in any case, it won't be cheap to specify.

"It should be more expensive than the chicken fir mushroom. I don't know. I'll take it to the town tomorrow and ask."

After deciding on this matter, Song Qiu took the time to pick up the cherries just now, and sat with Zhang Lihua, resting his breath while eating cherries to quench his thirst.
