Hearing her mother's excited voice, Chen Zhiyao quickly ran in that direction.

She took brisk and hurried steps and responded in a hoarse voice:

"Come on, come on! I'll be right there. What treasure did you find?"

The person hasn't arrived yet, but the expectant voice has already reached Yan Shuting's location.

Chen Zhiyao ran over breathlessly, and when she looked down she saw a surprising scene.

A log about 25 centimeters in diameter lay on the ground, covered with large mushrooms.

These little guys scrambled to stick their heads out, showing off their plump and tender bodies. A wood covered with mushrooms Chen Zhiyao stared blankly at the wood in front of her that was covered with mushrooms.

Her eyes were wide open and her mouth unconsciously opened into an "O" shape.

Chen Zhiyao couldn't believe her eyes and murmured to herself:

"Oh my god! So many mushrooms...it looks like someone planted them here on purpose."

"Could it be that someone planted it here on purpose?"

Yan Shuting glanced at her daughter as if she was a fool:

"Who would be so stupid as to grow mushrooms on a public mountain? Stop talking nonsense and come over here to pick mushrooms."

"That's right. It's obvious that he was born and raised in nature." As she said that, Chen Zhiyao ran over innocently.

At this time, my aunt also came over in a hurry.

"Wow, there are so many mushrooms, and they are growing really well. You must have a sharp eye, Shu Ting."

These mushrooms are huge, almost every one of them is as big as Chen Zhiyao's fist, and they look particularly plump and tempting.

But what is surprising is that these mushrooms look so plump on the outside, but feel light in the hand.

After some effort, the three finally succeeded in picking all the mushrooms on the tree.

The baskets in the hands of the three people were already filled to the brim.

These mushrooms are exactly the kind of dried mushrooms that are commonly seen in the market.

If you can't finish it on the same day, you can simply dry it in the sun and preserve it for a long time.

Chen Zhiyao happily poured the mushrooms in the basket into the bamboo basket she was carrying on her back.

Then, with great interest, he carried an empty basket and continued to look for these delicious little mushrooms.

Shiitake mushrooms mostly like to grow on rotten dead wood. Chen Zhiyao deliberately walked towards the rotten wood and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

Although she did not find any trace of shiitake mushrooms, she found a large nest of black fungus in a dark and damp corner.

There have been several heavy rains in recent days. With the nourishment of the rain, these wood ears have grown extremely lushly.

And they are huge, each one is thick and full.

Looking at these wood ears, Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but smile with joy, and she quickly squatted down to pick them all.

In a short while, the originally empty basket was filled to the brim.

She stood up and prepared to go take a look ahead, but unexpectedly her eyes were attracted by the fallen leaves under the roots of the tree.

There were two slightly raised bulges, quietly hidden among the surrounding fallen leaves and weeds.

With curiosity and anticipation, she gently reached out her hand and carefully pushed away the withered yellow leaves covering it bit by bit.

As the fallen leaves are gradually cleared away, a bright and eye-catching red suddenly catches the eye.

Looking closely, I saw that they were actually some bright red mushrooms.

Chen Zhiyao happily picked all these cute little guys and then continued walking towards the middle of the mountain.

On the way, she came across a rotten piece of wood, and luckily, there were several mushrooms growing on it.

Although there are not as many mushrooms on this piece of wood as the one my mother found just now, the mushrooms on it are bigger and thicker.

Along the way, Chen Zhiyao found some red mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms. When she reached the halfway point of the mountain, the backpack behind her was almost full.

At this time, she was so tired that she found a stone to sit down and rest.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I sat down, I found some mushrooms that looked very much like corals.

"This mushroom looks like coral. Could it be coral fungus?" Chen Zhiyao, who saw a mushroom that looked like coral, widened her eyes and stared at the tiny and exquisite "corals" in front of her with amazement, secretly marveling at the wonders of nature.

She couldn't help but mutter to herself: The world is so big, there are so many wonders!

If she hadn't accidentally discovered them deep in the mountains, she would probably have mistaken them for beautiful corals from the depths of the ocean.

Chen Zhiyao couldn't suppress her curiosity and excitement, so she reached out and gently broke off a small piece of coral fungus.

She ran to her mother and aunt with it in her hands, and held the treasure in front of them with great joy:

"Look, isn't this mushroom exactly the same as the coral in the sea?"

Yan Shuting took a closer look and immediately recognized the mushroom. She explained cheerfully:

"This is coral fungus. Although it does look very beautiful, its taste is quite ordinary."

The aunt beside her also laughed and said, "No one in the village likes to eat this kind of mushroom. It's normal that you don't know it."

Knowing that the mushroom tasted average, Chen Zhiyao ignored it.

The back mountain is quite large, so the three of them didn't plan to climb to the top of the mountain. They rested for a while halfway up the mountain and then went back.

When we got home, Grandma Chen and Grandma Lanhua from the next door house had just returned from fishing.

Yan Shuting walked up to her and greeted her enthusiastically. She then took out some mushrooms from her backpack and stuffed them into Grandma Lanhua's hands.

"I just picked some mushrooms from the back hill. Auntie, take them back and try them."

"These mushrooms are growing really well. There are so many loofahs in the garden that we can't eat them all. I'll get you a few later."

"Okay, this weather is perfect for eating loofah."

Grandma Chen had a good harvest today. In addition to earning 80 yuan, she also brought back a few small abalones and more than two kilograms of conchs.

While Yan Shuting was still chatting, Chen Zhiyao had already set her eyes on the snails and looked at her grandmother with a greedy look on her face:

"Grandma, how about we make a stew with chicken and snails for lunch? I'll fry the mushrooms I picked this morning."

Seeing her granddaughter was greedy, Grandma Chen walked out with a smile:

"Okay, I'll go to the old house and catch a small tender chicken and bring it back. We'll have a stew of chicken and snails for lunch. Your sister-in-law has been vomiting a lot lately, so I'll catch two more to nourish her body."

At noon, Chen Zhiyao showed off her cooking skills and cooked four delicious dishes.

Abalone, conch and chicken, pork belly and mushrooms, bacon and red mushrooms, and egg and loofah. The dishes were just ready when Chen Weiqiang and Grandpa Chen came home with the fish.

The father and son had a good harvest today. They got lost in the village for a long time before returning slowly.

When the two got home, the fish in the bucket looked a bit listless.

The conch and chicken pot made by Chen Zhiyao was fresh and fragrant, and received unanimous praise from everyone. No one could stop eating it.

Red mushrooms are delicious, while shiitake mushrooms are more fragrant. The two mushrooms with different flavors are equally popular among people.

Paired with the refreshing and degreasy loofah, the meal will be perfect.

They ate up all the food on the table, and even the remaining soup was mixed with rice and fed to Ah Huang and Xuetuan.
