When Xu Xiaoying arrived, she had a few small shovels in her hand, the kind she usually used to weed in the small yard, and three wicker baskets in her other hand.

"It rained the day before yesterday and yesterday, and there must be a lot of mushrooms in the pine forest outside the city today, let's go pick mushrooms, the mushrooms at this time are the freshest, and it's delicious to think about it." Xu Xiaoying jumped over with a bright smile on her face.

Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the smile on her face and was also happy, she hadn't seen Xu Xiaoying's signature giggle for a long time.

The three of them walked all the way out of the city from the south gate of the county seat, walked out of the south gate and walked in the southeast direction, and walked for about twenty minutes to the edge of the pine forest, this pine forest is very large, all of them are pine trees that are decades or hundreds of years old, and the trunk of each tree has grown to the thickness of the mouth of the bowl.

The county attaches great importance to this forest, and regularly has special personnel to maintain it, and has created an ecological park here, in which pavilions and pavilions have been built according to the topography for people who come to rest or gather. There is also a temple in the depths of the woods, and all the people of the county will come here to worship and do rituals during the New Year's holidays, and at this time, this is the most lively place in the county.

The main purpose of the three of them today is to pick mushrooms, and as for how far they go, they can do whatever they want.

Most of the people who live in the south of the city know that mushrooms grow in the woods when it rains, so there are many people like them on the road, carrying baskets and shovels, and some of them are students like them.

The pace of school exams in the prefecture is the same, and all elementary schools, including elementary schools, have just finished their midterm exams. After the exam, I will want to come out and relax, so today there are many students from outside the county, they have come all the way from the county, and they have also met many classmates in the class and grade.

Walking into the pine forest, there were people everywhere near the periphery, everyone was half-squatting and carefully digging mushrooms, and the three of them walked all the way to find that the mushrooms next to the roots of the trees had been lighted, even small, and the ones that had just broken the ground were not let go, so they could only continue to walk inside.

The three of them walked all the way to the depths, the more they walked, the fewer people came, and they could already vaguely see the traces of mushrooms, and the people here called the mushrooms growing in this pine forest pine mushrooms, which were delicious in soup, stew or stir-fried, and were the most popular mushrooms.

After walking for half an hour, they had almost reached the depths of the woods, and under the trees, patches of pine mushrooms with small umbrellas were standing there playfully, and the three of them scattered and found a piece and began to dig slowly.

"I'm going to make a delicious meal with these pine mushrooms for my parents in the evening." Xu Xiaoying is digging and planning at the same time.

Ling Xiaoxiao listened to it and said, "Are you sure you want to make food for them?" I remember some people who didn't know how to cook at all, and every time they went into the kitchen, it would look like a disaster scene. ”

Wu Qingqing listened to Ling Xiaoxiao's ridicule, and couldn't help laughing on the side, she knew that Xu Xiaoying, a kitchen killer, was powerful, last summer, they also came out to pick mushrooms like this, and then went back to make lunch excitedly, as a result, Xu Xiaoying almost set the kitchen of Ling Xiaoxiao's house on fire......

was teased by two good friends, Xu Xiaoying felt very faceless: "You two villains, you know how to laugh at me, let me tell you, I am very good now, I can help my mother cook, hum, you don't know how good I am." ”

The more she said this, the more Ling Xiaoxiao and Wu Qingqing laughed, some people are born with things that they are not good at, and cooking is one for Xu Xiaoying.

Seeing that her good friend didn't give face at all, Xu Xiaoying snorted angrily and found a place a little farther away to squat down and continue digging, chanting while digging: "Stinky Xiaoxiao, stinky Qingqing, are not good things." ”

The three of them dug for a while and the basket was filled, because Xu Xiaoying didn't say what she was going to do in advance, Ling Xiaoxiao and Wu Qingqing didn't prepare, looking at the mushrooms all over the ground, they couldn't dig it and take it back, they felt a little reluctant.

"Let's all rummage through the bags to see if there are plastic bags or anything else that can be contained." Ling Xiaoxiao likes pine mushrooms the most, so that she won't be annoyed if she eats them for a month, but now looking at her favorites all over the ground, her saliva is about to flow down.

The three of them flipped through the pages for a long time, found a few newspapers, and a small plastic bag, Ling Xiaoxiao looked at it and said, "Let's fold the newspaper, it should be possible to hold a little more." ”

The three of them squatted on the ground and studied how to fold the newspaper to pack a little more, at this time, a few people came not far away, Ling Xiaoxiao looked up, there were five people, one of them walked in front with his hands behind his back, he followed a person behind the right, holding two briefcases in his hands, and behind them, there were three more people, chatting while walking.

The eldest of the five was the one in the front, looking in his forties, and the man behind him with two briefcases was younger, looking only about thirty years old. All five of them were dressed similarly, wearing a casual jacket over their shirts and trousers and leather shoes.

"Little girl, you're picking mushrooms." The person who walked in front saw the three of them and walked over, greeting them as they went.

Ling Xiaoxiao stopped what she was doing, looked up at them, and found that it was really uncomfortable to squat and watch people, so she slowly stood up, and Xu Xiaoying and Wu Qingqing on the side also stood up and leaned over.

"I must be picking mushrooms, why don't you pick mushrooms this season?" Xu Xiaoying spoke more straightforwardly.

The middle-aged man who greeted him smiled when he heard this, took a few steps forward, and stood in front of their basket to look at it a few times.

"You pine mushrooms are very fresh, and you pick a lot of them." The middle-aged man looked at them with a smile.

Ling Xiaoxiao looked at them vigilantly, she couldn't figure out the purpose of these people coming over, but looking at their dress, words and deeds, they didn't look like bad people, and the person who spoke to them was very official.

"You go inside, there are more mushrooms, if you like it, you can pick it yourself." Xu Xiaoying secretly rolled her eyes and said another sentence quickly, causing Ling Xiaoxiao and Wu Qingqing to quickly pull her placket behind.

"The pine mushrooms in this pine forest are a specialty of the county, and everyone will come to pick them when it rains, and it is not a novelty." Ling Xiaoxiao turned sideways slightly to block Xu Xiaoying, this girl always speaks with no brains, I don't know what these people do, her taunt is so big, it's too inappropriate.

"Yes, this pine mushroom in our county is indeed a specialty, and it is very famous in several neighboring counties, and some people come to buy it." The middle-aged man looked at Ling Xiaoxiao with a smile, but the expression on his face did not change at all from beginning to end.

"Do you have plastic bags or anything like that? We have a lot of picking, and we can't take it with us, so it would be best if you could help us share some of the burden. Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the basket at her feet, the mushrooms were too stuffed and were already trembling and about to fall out.
