Volume 1 Chapter 18 Preparations for Entering the City
Sister, what's wrong with you, don't you look happy?
Seeing that Qin Mo's face was wrong, Xiangxiang took two steps closer, covered her small round face with her little hand, and asked innocently with wide eyes.
Uh, it's okay - Qin Mo reacted, then took off the strap on his shoulder, and glanced at the bed board again, feeling a little sad in his heart, the few grains that were already stolen were still stolen.
The hearts of these people are really selfish and ruthless.
His heart suddenly felt a little cold, in fact, Qin Mo would not be sad because of these little things in the past, but now, it is not what it used to be.
However, it is useless to think about these now, both mushrooms and aloe vera leaves, some of these things need to be dried, some need to be spread, but they must first go through the same process, that is, washing.
Mushrooms have mud on the soles of their feet, and aloe vera also roughly needs to be washed before they can be used. Everything has to be cleaned before it is Qin Mo's habit to bring it from before the crossing, and the mushroom umbrella is fragile and not pressed, and in addition to the air-drying time, it can't be put too long, so much, a small back basket is full, and it is really difficult to clean.
Aloe vera is just a good thing to scoop out of the stone jar in the house, but this mushroom, a little water, is definitely not enough to clean.
And Qin Mo first unloaded the aloe vera in the back basket, afraid that it would be crushed in the back basket, and finally put the three lingzhi under it in the bamboo basket. The bamboo basket was placed on the high platform of the table, and if someone came in from outside the door, they would definitely be able to see it at a glance through the gap in the small bamboo basket, but Qin Mo just wanted to put it there, without covering it or hiding it, and took out the rest of the small lingzhi that had been placed on his chest and the small ginseng plant, and put them on the table, and put them in a pile.
And he called Xiangxiang, and the two of them, carrying the small basket of mushrooms, walked towards the ditch in the field.
It's no wonder that Qin Mo is bold, in fact, her eyes are always watching her door.
She just wanted to see who else dared to steal today, and if she came, people would block and kill, and Buddha would block and kill Buddha.
In fact, losing most of the ground fungus really angered her.
The ditch was in the middle of the field below, in the recess, and she stood in the ditch to wash the mushrooms to see who dared to steal them.
The two of them worked together to lift the mushrooms on the small back to the stone on the side of the stone ditch, Qin Mo lifted the small back basket down alone, first scoured the bottom in the water, and then poured out the mushrooms inside, Xiangxiang squatted on the shore, Qin Mo also asked her to help, one is that she is too small, this mushroom can not be washed well, it is fragile, and it is easy to rot, and Qin Mo needs to store these mushrooms, because two meals today cannot be eaten.
If she can't finish eating, she has already planned to tie it up with straw and hang it, waiting for it to dry, whether it is to cook the broth in the winter to enhance the flavor, or to take it out and eat it when she is hungry, in short, it will be dried there.
And when Qin Mo picked up the mushrooms and washed them one by one here, Xiangxiang was bored playing with her little finger on the ditch.
A person has to wash so many mushrooms, very tired, halfway through the washing, Qin Mo felt a sore back, stood up and beat himself, seeing Xiangxiang suddenly raised his head and looked at her worriedly, Qin Mo had already buried his head again, and then one by one, attentively, he washed all the mushrooms in the back basket.
Some of the mushroom stalks are white and shiny.
Qin Mo has always been a person who loves cleanliness.
It's just that the conditions here are not good, there is less water, there is less water, and it is deadly anywhere.
There was no longer any need for Xiangxiang to help, Qin Mo carried the washed mushrooms back to the hut alone.
Now these mushrooms must be dried, Qin Mo already has an idea in his heart, and there is only one place in this house to dry now.
Then he bowed over and collected the remaining part of the fungus on the bed board, and then put the cleaned mushrooms in the small back basket on the bed board one by one, and put them very sparsely, so that the mushroom water would not have time to evaporate in time, and it would rot. Once the mushrooms were going to rot, it was only in a short period of time, and Qin Mo didn't dare to be sloppy, so he was very careful.
By noon, the mushroom processing was finished.
Qin Mo handed the empty small back basket to Xiangxiang and asked her to take it back and return it to Jinqing, and there was also a big back basket, which he carried in his hand, and also took the initiative to return it to the door with Xiangxiang.
Jinqing was also cooking lunch by himself at home, Qin Mo knew that Jinqing's food was good, no matter what, it was more abundant than the food at home, and he didn't dare to stay longer, so he returned the things and came back by himself, and then began to set firewood for lunch.
There is still no oil and salt at home, and I can go to the county tomorrow, hoping that this Ganoderma lucidum ginseng can be exchanged for a good price, and then I can buy some oil and salt cloth or some rice, some meat, and buy some necessities for life.
Xiangxiang may have grown so big, and I don't know what meat tastes like.
Thinking about it, Qin Mo's heart was a little gloomy and sour, he always felt that such a common man in this time and space had a hard time, eating rice bran, wild vegetables, and vegetable stalks, and in the modern society where Qin Mo lived, these things might be disgusted when fed to pigs.
Alas. Thinking about it, I sighed again in my heart.
Casually adding firewood to the stove, Qin Mo's thoughts were a little scattered, he ate these every day, and he ate these every day, clear water, wild vegetables, and poured the remaining mushroom fragments into it today, anyway, it was a full pot of boiling.
It's drier than every meal before, it's no longer a clear soup, but there is no salt, and it is estimated that it will not be delicious, just to make a living.
Finally, scooping it into a bowl, she and Xiangxiang, a big bowl per person.
Sure enough, it was not very delicious in the mouth, there was no salt taste, and Xiangxiang didn't like much of the cooked things in the bowl, but he didn't pick himself up.
Probably because the wild vegetables were more unpalatable before, and this one at least has no bitter taste, so Xiangxiang is still quite energetic.
Can't wait any longer, the road in the county seat is too far, it's noon now, and naturally he can't come back after he goes, in fact, Qin Mo also thought about going to the nearest town, but there are few pharmacies in the town, only one, I'm afraid that I won't be able to sell it at a good price.
It's better to go to a farther county seat.
This was the result of Qin Mo's deep thought. There are many people in the county, no one knows their sisters, and if they get some money, they will not be coveted by people they know, and they can keep this money safely.
Qin Mo calculated the value of these three Ganoderma lucidum, ancient money, one or two silver was worth three hundred to five hundred yuan in modern times in the Tang and Song dynasties, if it could appreciate to one thousand three to one thousand five in the Ming and Qing dynasties, these three Ganoderma lucidum should be worth a lot of money, at least buy a few thousand, so how much can it be sold for.
After calculating it, there is still no bottom in my heart, no matter what it is, I will know when I go to the county seat early tomorrow morning, she is not stupid, and she knows to shop around.
As soon as you look at tomorrow's...
In the afternoon, Qin Mo had nothing to do after eating and fragrant incense, and Qin Mo dreamed of making a small fortune with this thing.
