Wild mushrooms grow in the mountains, and if rural people want to eat them, of course, they have to go to the mountains early in the morning to find them and pick up the blessings of nature.

In recent years, the mushrooms in the market have become more and more valuable, and many people in rural mountain villages have gone up the mountain to pick up mushrooms and sell them for money during this season. Some experienced mountain people can sell the mushrooms collected in a season for tens of thousands of yuan, and thousands of yuan abound, which is equivalent to the income from planting two or three acres of flue-cured tobacco. Moreover, it is still a net income. All they paid was their hardships and sweat on the mountain, and there were no other additional economic costs.

Today is Sunday, and many students in nearby mountain villages do not have to go to school, and they will go up the mountain in droves to collect mushrooms. There are too many mushrooms to collect, of course, the family can't eat them all, and they are reluctant to eat them all, and those good wild mushrooms that can be sold at a good price are sold on the street for money.

Sell it to those who want to eat wild mushrooms but are reluctant to go up the mountain, and sell it to those who go to the mountains to buy wild mushrooms and resell them. Now there is another place to go, directly to the town, and it is very convenient to sell to the Central Yunnan Agricultural Trade Company. They exchange the treasures they have picked up from the mountains into money, which becomes their own pocket money or living expenses

When Qi Jingtao came back, he happened to see a group of children who looked like middle school students coming to sell mushrooms. How can he see, hehe, school uniforms have been popular in primary and secondary schools over the years. The so-called school uniform is that each school selects a sportswear, and the name of the school is printed to become the school uniform of the school.

Seeing them carrying backpacks one by one, sweating from the sun, Qi Jingtao hurriedly stepped forward and helped them remove the backpacks they were carrying. The teacher in charge of sorting the mushrooms in the store also rushed over to help them unload the back basket, and kept saying: "A few dolls, the weather is so hot, the back is so heavy, it's tired, right? Shi Yan, where is there cold boiled water and paper cups, you take them over to drink saliva and rest their breath. ”

"Thank you, Daddy, we're not tired. ”

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, I'm used to it. ”

"Yes, the fungus is not heavy, such a big back basket is not 30 pounds, it would be better to be heavier!"

"It's just that it's too hot, and drinking cold boiled water is not enjoyable, if only there was ice water. ”

"There's a cold drink shop over there, so I'll eat popsicles later. ”

"The ice cream is delicious, I'm going to buy a strawberry flavor later." ”

……

Putting down the basket, several students drank the cold boiled water provided by the store and chattered.

"On a hot day, what kind of ice water and popsicles do you eat? That thing hurts the body, just drink cold boiled water. Shi Guigui yelled at them with a smile, and sent people to help them sort wild mushrooms.

Shi Guigui is a short man in his fifties, a mountain resident of Gaozhai Village in the south of Bazi in the fifth district, and Shi Lei specially invited the master master to sort wild mushrooms.

When Qi Jingtao came, he listened to Zhang Jinglei's introduction, Shi Guigui knew all kinds of fungi very well, and the purchased fungi were sorted by him to ensure that there would be no inedible and highly toxic wild mushrooms mixed into the takeaway fungi. Some mushrooms look very deceptive, and look very similar to those edible wild mushrooms, which can easily be mixed with them and cause food poisoning by mistake. Farmers and traders need to have such experienced people to check the mushroom business.

Shi Yan knew Shi Guigui, and they had to go through Gaozhai Village when they returned to Heini Village, and her father and Shi Guigui were still old friends. After drinking a cup of cold boiled water from a disposable paper cup and wiping the sweat on her face, she introduced the varieties of mushrooms she sold on her back to Shi Guigui: "Daddy Shi, there are many types of mushrooms we have picked up, including chicken longitudinal, porcini mushrooms, green head mushrooms, rhubarb mushrooms, small red mushrooms, and I still have about three catties of spicy mushrooms here." ”

"Girl, you've picked up these good mushrooms. These chicken fir of yours are one-legged chicken fir firs, which have not yet bloomed, and are worth 60 yuan a kilogram. The spicy mushrooms on the hill near the small street in your black mud village are better, and they do not contain sand, and they can be sold for 180 yuan a kilogram these days. Qingtou mushrooms, 20 yuan a kilogram, other mushrooms are uniformly said, according to 23 yuan a kilogram...... "Shi Guigui helped Shi Yan and them sort the mushrooms, according to the company's own purchase level according to the needs of market sales.

"Daddy Shi, the sign you set the price says, isn't today's spicy mushrooms 140 yuan?" Shi Yan asked curiously.

"Your spicy mushrooms are fresh, the size is just right, and the most spicy mushrooms can be torn out, which is the best spicy mushroom. We don't need to sort it anymore, it's a first-class product, and it can be sold for more than 260 yuan a kilogram when it is sent to Chuncheng, giving you a special price. Shi explained kindly.

"Hee-hee, Daddy, I found these spicy mushrooms when I got home last week. Just emerged, a petal as big as a melon seed shell, I was reluctant to pick, sprinkled some loose hair to cover it again, and went to pick it this morning. Shi Yan said with a smug face.

"Girl, you're not afraid of others finding out, and I'll take all of them for you. ”

"I'm not afraid, it's the hillside behind my family's orchard, and no one else will go. ”

"Oh, then you should remember where and what kind of mushrooms come out, go to see them regularly, and pick them at the most suitable time, which is delicious and can weigh in pounds. Many kinds of fungi will come out in a fixed place, and they ...... regularly."

Shi Yan's family is in Heini Village, the southernmost part of the dam in the fifth district, and is already located on the big hill adjacent to the dam in the fifth district and the dam in Xiaojie in Exian County. Most of these mushrooms were picked up by herself when she went home to the mountains on the weekend, and her parents also picked them up for her after doing farm work.

Early this morning, I went to the mountains again to pick up mushrooms and came back, and after lunch and packed up the belongings for the school, Shi Yan led a few children in the village who went to school in the town middle school to carry the mushrooms that each family had picked up in the past two days and filled the baskets of mushrooms out of the village and returned to the town. They are all boarding students, and they plan to go early and go back to school directly after selling mushrooms in town.

Those of them, who attend the town's middle school, know that a new farmer's trading company has emerged in the town, and during this time, they mainly buy mushrooms and send them to Spring City to sell. The purchase price of the farmer's trading company is published daily on the blackboard at the door and is adjusted according to the market. But they learned that the purchase price of the farmer's trading company was higher than that of those who bought the mushrooms in their village, and there was a difference.

So, when they go home on the weekend, they collect the fungi they have picked up for themselves and their families, and when they go back to school, they carry them to the town to sell, so that the difference in price is enough for their living expenses at school for a week.

Qi Jingtao looked at these students who came to sell mushrooms on the way to school with a smile on his face, drinking water and resting, waiting for the teacher to help them sort them one by one and weigh the mushrooms they carried. Listening to the content of Shi Yan and Shi Guigui chatting while sorting the mushrooms, his heart was full of feelings. These children are really sensible, they are only a few years old when they are in junior high school, thirteen or fourteen years old. At such a young age, I knew that I was self-reliant, and I was able to make full use of the gifts of nature to help my family eat from the mountains.

Especially the little girl named Shi Yan, who is smart and clever, good at interacting with people, and good at inquiring about the market situation in conversation. The resources that can be controlled by one's own family also know how to use them rationally to maximize their own interests.
