Bianshanhan [farming]

Li Qingwen's eyes lit up when he saw the winter mushroom. This kind of mushroom is extremely delicious and nutritious. It contains meat in its vegetarian diet. It is a famous mountain delicacy.

At this time, everyone should not be surprised, and quickly started picking, and Jiang Cong followed suit.

Li Qingwen plucked a piece of wood. As he picked it, he found that there were many marks on the wood, as if they had been cut by an axe. The mushrooms grew out of these cut marks.

Jiang Liping came over with a sack, saw Li Qingwen rubbing those marks, and said, "Zai'er, guess what's going on with these mushrooms?"

Hearing what he said, Li Qingwen was only skeptical at first, but now he became sure. He asked, "Did you chop these down on purpose?"

Mushroom spores flew around and landed on these cuts. With the help of trees as nutrients, mushrooms grew...the same principle as the mushroom cultivation in the previous life.

Jiang Liping was surprised, but immediately understood, and said, "Jiang Cong told you."

Jiang Cong said without raising his head, "I haven't had time to talk about it, but Zi'er is smart and guessed it himself."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingwen knew that these trees were not blown down by nature, but were felled deliberately.

Jiang Liping said: "Someone over there grows mushrooms like this. I know you like to eat mushrooms. Your brother rode a horse and searched for many days. He found such a patch of mushrooms, and specially raised this large patch for you."

Mrs. Chen and the others also heard this, and they were very surprised. It was the first time they saw that mushrooms could be grown, and they always thought that this thing was naturally cultivated.

After marveling, Li Qingyong's mother stopped and straightened up. These are mushrooms planted by Jiang Cong. Isn't it like harvesting other people's crops when they pick them like this...

Li Maoyu and Chen Shi immediately said: "Alas, if you don't hurry up, you will fall behind."

Jiang Shi also said: "There are so many mushrooms, even my son can't finish them every day. Pick them quickly, whoever picks them will own them."

Jiang Liping also quickly explained that the mushrooms will grow again after they are picked, and some mushrooms can grow for many years in a row. The villagers can pick them if they want to eat them.

In this way, several female relatives of Li Qingyong's family resumed the speed just now.

Li Qingwen reached out and touched Jiang Cong's arm. In the dark forest, his round eyes glowed, "Brother, you are really amazing."

Jiang Cong took the birch bark basket in his hand, poured the mushrooms into the sack, and said, "Do you like it?"

"I like it." Li Qingwen nodded heavily, "I've already thought about dozens of mushroom dishes, and I'll make them when I get back."

Jiang Cong said hello.

Li Qingfeng quickly picked a full sack, he wanted to lean the sack against a tree, in case it fell down and had to pick it up again.

He had just put the sack away when he saw a large pile of yellowish mushrooms on the tree stump nearby. He picked them up and said in a disgusted tone, "Why do these mushrooms grow hairs!"

Li Qingwen was standing next to him. He stood up and took a look. It was Hericium erinaceus. He said, "It's not hairy, it just looks like this. This mushroom has medicinal properties, it's good for your health, and it's expensive. Put it in a pile alone."

Mountain delicacy Hericium erinaceus, seafood bird's nest, this mushroom is as famous as bear's paw sea cucumber, but it is one of the eight mountain delicacies.

As soon as he heard it was a good thing, the disgust on Li Qingfeng's face disappeared, and he immediately started searching around the tree stump, counting while searching, "One, two..."

The counting is cheerful, and the picking action is also very gentle.

Li Qingwen also went looking for valuable things, never too many.

Li Qingyong listened with pricked ears, immediately stopped picking the mushrooms, and went to Li Qingfeng to see what the valuable mushrooms looked like, he had to remember, so that he wouldn't eat them carelessly in the future.

Jiang Cong picked it up for a while, then got up and cut off a few trees that were too dense, put them on the ground, and chopped the trunk from top to bottom with the tip of an axe.

At this time, Li Qingfeng, Li Qingwen, and Li Qingyong had already gone far into the woods. The baskets on their backs were full, and the thin thorns of Hericium erinaceus squeezed out from the gaps.

In addition to mushrooms and trees, there are also various wild fruits in it. There is a red fruit the size of a finger belly, which is sweet and sour. Whether it is Li Qingwen or Chen Shi, everyone agrees that it is good to eat.

It's just that this kind of fruit is small and has thin skin, so it will break if you are not careful, and it takes a lot of effort to pick one by one.

Li Qingwen took a piece of birch bark and asked Jiang Cong to cut a few cuts in the bark like a rake.

The bark of this rake is inserted into the bushes with fruits, and when it is lifted up, the leaves go down along the gap, and the fruits are left on the bark.

In this way, without touching the fruit with your hands, you can shovel off a lot of fruit at a time. Everyone praised this trick as wonderful.

In fact, the birch bark is still a little soft. If you use a rake and shovel made of wood, then picking fruits will be much less labor-intensive and more enjoyable than this.

Li Qingwen shoveled for a while, his hands were stained red by the broken fruit, he couldn't bear the sweet and sour juice, so he raised his hand and started to lick it.

Jiang Cong resisted the mushroom he had just picked, and when he came back, he saw him licking his fingers, and subconsciously reached out to hold Li Qingwen's wrist.

Seeing that a large stream of juice was about to fall to the ground, Li Qingwen couldn't take his hand back, so he simply handed it to Jiang Cong's mouth, "Quick, brother, brother, it's about to drop, your hands are clean..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Cong turned his head and sucked the bright red juice from his hand.

Jiang Cong's movements were very light, and Li Qingwen felt a little itchy, so he laughed twice.

Li Qingyong looked up just in time to see this scene, he was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Is this really so delicious? Lick it for me too."

Before Li Qingwen could speak, Jiang Cong gave Li Qingyong a handful of red fruit. Li Qingyong stuffed it into his mouth, his face wrinkled into a ball, and he grinned, this thing is far worse than meat!

Because Jiang Cong sent out two bags of two bags, the people outside knew that there were mushrooms in them, so they followed in. They were also amazed when they saw the mushrooms on the log.

The women moved quickly, and all the sacks and baskets they brought were full.

Li Qingwen originally thought of helping his aunt and grandma after reciting his own, but then he saw that the thin sixth grandma was carrying a sack and walking a few minutes faster than him...

Although it was still early, they had to leave the woods. There was nothing to hold, so they couldn't carry it with their hands.

In just a long time, everyone understood what it meant to be endless, and they also knew that it was right to pack so many cars, and they couldn't carry so many mushrooms.

The grass outside the forest is fluffy soft grass. Sitting is very comfortable, like a blanket. At first the big guy was still sitting, but slowly lay down, looking at the open sky, excitedly said: "God , I just found out today that there are so many kinds of mushrooms..."

"It's just that, I don't know anything except grass mushrooms. If it weren't for Miss Zhou to watch, I wouldn't dare to pick them to death."

What you eat is important, but poisonous mushrooms can kill people.

"This land can grow so many mushrooms, so it must be easy to raise people. We can work better than mushrooms."

"If we can grow so many mushrooms in our village, we may be able to endure the disaster year by eating this..."

As soon as these words came out, there were several sighs.

Suddenly someone said: "Oh, when we left home, we thought that this life and death were unexpected. After we arrived, we have been busy, and I haven't thought about home for a long time..."

There was a moment of silence, and soon someone followed suit.

When fleeing famine in the past, no matter adults or children, frightened by starvation, or sick, every family may lose several relatives.This time the elders and the men in the family decided to come to the border town. As soon as they heard that they were far away, the women were already ready to die or send their relatives away.

This journey was really difficult, and it was really tiring. There were many difficulties. They thought they couldn't survive when they ran out of food several times. With Jiang Cong's hard hunting and mediation, the family made it to the place well.

Looking back now, it's almost like a dream.

Just when the crowd was full of emotions, Li Qingwen and Jiang Cong were hunting in the forest. There were only pheasants nearby, running, flying and jumping, and over many bushes and weeds. Li Qingwen chased to the stream and finally caught the pheasant Living.

Li Qingfeng took the pheasant in his hand and went to the side to clean it up before sending it back.

Li Qingwen's clothes and shoes were wet and uncomfortable to stick to his body, so he took them off and put them on the bushes to let the wind blow.

The shoes were not dry for a while, and he didn't want to wear them, so he put them aside and soaked his feet in the river.

There are all women over there, Jiang Liping is not easy to get close to, and everyone else thinks the same way. They soak their feet here with Li Qingwen, and a row of men sits on the bank.

Jiang Cong picked the fruit, rinsed it with stream water, and gave it to them to eat. Then he set up a fire by the river, picked up Li Qingwen's shoes with branches, and put them on top of the fire to bake.

After sending the prey back, Li Qingfeng and Li Qingyong came back again, walking around in the stream, trying to catch the small fish inside.

The two of them were busy for a long time, the water splashed and flew around, panting tiredly, the small fish in the water were still flicking their tails flexibly.

The small fish was not as big as a palm, and it took a lot of effort to clean it up, maybe there were only a few bites of meat. The two of them didn't really eat because of this, but they thought the stream was so shallow that they couldn't catch any fish or eat the meat around their mouths. Just willing.

Li Qingwen had enough rest and walked into the water in his underwear. He wanted to help.

But before he walked over, he suddenly felt a cold and slippery ankle.

Li Qingwen lowered his head, just in time to see a water snake swimming past his feet...

In an instant, the hairs all over his body stood on end, and his voice changed from fright, "Snake, snake, snake..."

He has always been afraid of such soft things, which is innate and insurmountable.

When encountering tigers and other ferocious beasts, you may still think about how to escape. When you see this thing, you will feel numb.

Subconsciously dodging back, he collided with the people who came to help, Li Qingwen staggered and sat in the water.

Then something chubby slipped through the loose waistband.

I don't know what the hell it is, Li Qingwen is almost desperate, such a shallow water, how can this be so dangerous!

He was about to flee to the shore when Jiang Cong came in stepping on the water. He swept his hands in the water and picked Li Qingwen up from the stream.

Li Qingwen's lips turned white, he held onto Jiang Cong's clothes tightly, and asked for help in a trembling voice, "Brother, brother, there is something in my trousers..."

Jiang Cong supported him with one hand, and put his right hand into Li Qingwen's pants...

Then his hand retracted like lightning.

Li Qingwen's body shook violently, stiff as a rock, and the snake and others were already out of reach for a moment, and he rolled down to the ground with all his might.

Jiang Cong froze for a moment, then supported Li Qingwen's arm with both hands.

Because of this, Li Qingwen was not thrown on his back, and the things in his pants fell out, it was a clam the size of a palm.

Staring blankly at this mussel, Li Qingwen wanted to swallow this troublesome thing alive!

Jiang Cong looked normal, and pulled him up to see if there was any wound on his body.

Li Qingfeng grabbed the water snake and came over, "My son, this snake is dead, don't be afraid."

Others also gathered around and asked him if he was okay.

Li Qingwen forced a smile, "No, nothing, I was just shocked..."

Even if it was bitten by a snake, the snake is not poisonous, and the others felt that it was all right, so they went back to soak their feet one after another.

Seeing Li Qingwen's eyeballs rolling around, Jiang Cong thoughtfully said nothing, and went to flip his shoes by the fire.

Li Qingwen stared at the mussel on the ground, picked up a stone, and smashed it with his back molars gritted.

Li Qingfeng was very surprised when he saw it. There were also small mussels in the river in the camp, but they were few and not as big as this one. Fish will escape like that.

Li Qingwen didn't smash it for several times. Of course, he didn't smash it for food, but mainly to vent his anger.

Li Qingyong volunteered: "I'll help you!"

He deliberately went to the river to find a big one, held the stone with both hands, and smashed it heavily on the clam shell.

It broke in one go, Li Qingyong was very proud.

He wanted to take out the clam meat, but saw a round thing inside, and shouted: "There's a big lump growing inside, can I still eat it?"

Li Qingwen looked at it, touched it, and asked a little uncertainly, "Is this a pearl?"

"Zhen, Pearl?" Li Qingyong looked blank. Before leaving Yangshu Village, he had never even seen a fish. He didn't even know what a mussel was, but Pearl had heard of it.

Hearing the commotion here, the people by the river ran over barefoot without shoes on. Jiang Liping only took one look and said, "It's a pearl."

He took out the dagger, carefully plucked out the pearl inside, and held it in his hand. The pink one was round and plump, crystal clear and jade-like, illuminated by the last ray of the setting sun, its brilliance flowed and lasted for a long time.

"It's a good bead." Jiang Liping praised.

Hongzhou also produces pearls, but they are not very good. He has seen tribute pearls from other places, and this one in his hand is only better than those, not worse than those.

Li Qingwen's dull eyes once again caught sight of the pieces of silver ingots, his whole body was shocked, and he asked, "This, how much silver is this worth?"

"I'm not very knowledgeable about this. I only know that a top-grade pearl without flaws is about 30 taels of silver." Jiang Liping said, "Your pearl may be more expensive."

This, so expensive? !

If he can find three hundred beads, it will be 1 taels of silver!

The accounts were too simple, and there was no need to make any calculations. Li Qingwen instantly ignited his fighting spirit.

While everyone was looking at the pearls, Li Qingfeng had already picked up the rock and smashed open the clam he had just picked up.

After smashing it, I started looking for pearls, but there were no pearls in more than 20 river mussels...
