Chapter 5 Livelihood Issues
Out of the city, Lin Huan glanced at the sun, about half a morning, and the time was still in time.
After a little identification of the direction, Lin Huan walked in the direction of the mountain, which was exactly perpendicular to the direction when he came to Qingyun City. There are also pedestrians on the road, but most of them are in the opposite direction of Lin Huan, in the direction of going to Qingyun City
After walking for less than half an hour, Lin Huan arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the mountain is not high, the forest is still dense, there is a path stretching into the mountain, at the foot of the mountain you can see some villages and scattered houses, presumably in the daytime as long as it is not particularly deep should not be dangerous.
Lin Huan is not stupid, if you want to pick wild things, you have to have a life to come back.
After all, there are many things that can be mined now, and there are many fierce beasts, plus in this world, there are also monsters!
Shaking his head to shake off the fear of the unknown in his heart, Lin Huan stepped on the path into the mountain forest.
At first, Lin Huan walked quickly, and he knew that the farmers around him were not stupid, and there would be nothing of value left for him on the side of the road.
After walking for a while, Lin Huan folded a small wooden stick for himself, and began to extend to the side of the path, slowed down, bent down, and searched carefully as he walked, whipping the overly tall weeds with the wooden stick, one was to scare away the insects and snakes in the grass, the second was to get off his feet, and the third was to find the mountain treasures in the grass!
Fantasizing that he had dug up the treasures of Ganoderma lucidum ginseng or something in exchange for a lot of silver, Lin Fan couldn't help but grin.
"Huh?" Lin Huan saw the black fungus faintly visible on a dead tree in the grass, and quickly squatted down and picked up the grass.
"The fungus, it's okay", probably because of the humid climate in the mountains in the morning and the dew, the fungus is very fresh. However, Lin Fan was not too happy, fungus is a very common fungus in the mountains, and such a little bit is not worth a few dollars.
Lin Huan pulled out a few large leaves from the surrounding grass, picked the fungus and wrapped it, picked a few strands of tough and slender grass blades and tied them, put them in the clothes on his chest, and started a new search.
After looking for about an hour like this, Lin Fan found a lot of wild vegetables and some fungus, and accidentally obtained seven or eight small mushrooms, as for other mushrooms, Lin Fan didn't know it, and he didn't dare to pick it, in case the poison made people eat something, his own conscience would be disturbed.
As for the ginseng Ganoderma lucidum that Lin Huan fantasized, there is naturally none.
Because there are more things, Lin Huan wrapped the rare small things in leaves and put them close to his body, and the big things such as wild vegetables were carried with fine grass leaves.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Huan planned to return the same way. There's so much stuff that you can't take it anymore.
The matter of catching fish can't be carried out now, he doesn't have any containers, and the road is long, even if he catches a fish, he will die when he returns to Qingyun City, and no one will want to kill the fish. I can only find an opportunity to sell fish again in the future.
Out of the unknown and fear of the beasts in the mountains, Lin Fan actually didn't go too far, and soon returned to the trail the same way.
When I went down the mountain, I met a few young people with rough bows and arrows along the way, dressed as Orions, walking deeper into the mountain, looking at Lin Fan with strange faces, and didn't say anything.
Lin Huan hung the mountain treasure in his hand on a stick and carried it, saving a lot of effort.
Xu was too hungry, but Lin Fan didn't feel hungry all the way.
When he was about to go down the mountain, he saw that there were a few sparse and sparse big bamboos on both sides, so Lin Huan got up again and dug five or six bamboo shoots, dug a hole with a small branch, wore them and hung them on a small stick to carry, and soon went down the mountain.
found a stream at the bottom of the mountain to carefully clean the wild vegetables and mushrooms, tied them all on the stick, and wiped his face, Lin Huan suddenly sobered up a lot, so he carried the stick and walked towards the city......
The sun was already slightly westerly, and it was estimated that it was around two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and finally, Lin Huan returned to the gate of Qingyun City.
Lin Huan's footsteps did not stop, and he walked towards the city.
The middle-aged fat man was no longer there, and the middle-aged man with a hooked nose only glanced at Lin Huan, and then he took care of himself and swallowed melon seeds and collected the copper plate.
When Lin Huan returned to Fang Market, there were not many vendors setting up stalls, and they were sold out in the morning.
Lin Huan found a rice shop, cleaned out a small area from the old vegetable leaves near the door, put his hard-earned income on the stone slab, and squatted down to observe the surrounding vendors.
On his left hand side is a swarthy man who speaks a local dialect and sells meat for a living, and on his right hand side is a fish seller and a pharmacy across the door of the rice shop.
There are not many pedestrians on the road, even fewer people buy things, the sun is not scorching, there is a faint fishy smell in the air, but I don't smell the smell of rotten vegetable leaves, it seems that this place is quite clean.
Lin Huan looked down at the fruits of his labor, and sighed secretly that he didn't find the wild fruit, but he was still a little proud and a little apprehensive in his heart, but he couldn't sell it......
"Little doll, where are your adults?" a voice like thunder came.
Lin Huan saw that it was a big man selling meat on the left-hand side.
"Uncle, my father and mother and I have been separated and wandered here, so I can only earn some copper plates to eat", Lin Huan turned his mind and replied with a wry smile.
Xu is Lin Huan's uncle screamed sweetly, or maybe seeing Lin Huan's pity, the big man showed pity in his eyes, and said, "Poor baby, you have such a clever energy at such a young age, you know that you make money, but it is much stronger than when I was at that time, you can rest assured, Uncle covers you, you are selling here, and you have no money to eat at my house!"
"Thank you, uncle", seeing that the other party had a big package, Lin Fan was naturally happy, and chatted a few more words, knowing that the other party's surname was Qian, Lin Fan naturally called the other party Uncle Qian.
At this time, a middle-aged woman who was better dressed bought a pound of meat from Dahan, and Dahan smiled while cutting the meat, "Sister-in-law Wang, you are really virtuous and filial, my brother Wang and the little leopard went to run a business, you have nothing to say about Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang's serving, and the neighbors are looking at it."
"Uncle Qian, your brother Wang and the little leopard are outside in the wind and rain to support this family, if I don't serve the second elder well to make them feel at ease, what else do you say I can do for them!"
The middle-aged woman replied with a gentle smile, taking the meat with one hand and some copper plates with the other.
"Sister-in-law Wang, how about you look at the wild vegetables of the little baby, buy some wild mushrooms and bamboo shoots for the second elder to go back and fry a vegetable, the wild vegetables are fresh, just picked, but the water is smart. "
Dahan stopped the middle-aged woman who was about to leave and pointed to Lin Huan's small stall.
Dahan's voice was like thunder, but now in Lin Huan's ears, it was a heavenly sound!
"That's it, Aunt Wang, my dish is fresh, the water is smart, just picked from the mountain, you see, it's not fresh and doesn't cost money", Lin Huan hurriedly said, a little restrained, a little nervous beckoning the middle-aged woman to look at his wild vegetables.
"Well, it's good, it looks very clean, Shuiling!", the middle-aged woman walked over, looked at it, and praised, "I just want to stew some broth, the second old tooth is not good, the meat must be rotten, otherwise I wouldn't have come to buy meat so early, I want all these mushrooms for you, just give me one of the bamboo shoots, forget about the wild vegetables, how much."
Lin Huan was suddenly secretly happy, he made money!
But he didn't know the price of mushrooms and bamboo shoots, so he had to say embarrassedly, "Aunt Wang, you can look at it, I don't know the price." "
The middle-aged woman glanced at Lin Huan suspiciously, "His aunt, this baby is also miserable, he was separated from his father and mother, and he ended up here, pick some wild things in the mountains to eat, you just watch and give it", at this time, Uncle Qian said.
"Hard-working baby, let's do it, I'll give me some fungus, I'll give you four copper plates for your fungus and bamboo shoots, how about it", Aunt Wang said softly, and grabbed some fungus.
"Okay, thank you Aunt Wang", Lin Huan said with a smile, he knew this Aunt Wang's temperament from the words of the two of them, and he would definitely not be greedy for his own cheapness, and it was very likely that he would give back more, so he immediately agreed and thanked him. I took two large leaves, wrapped the fungus and shiitake mushrooms, and handed them to the other party with bamboo shoots.
Aunt Wang took it with a smile and gave Lin Fan four copper plates, Lin Fan took it with a smile, and after the other party left, Lin Fan immediately turned his head and said to Uncle Qian, "Thank you, Uncle Qian."
"Thank you for what, it's a little thing", Uncle Qian said with a smile, took out a bamboo tube and handed it to Lin Huan, "Here, drink some, sprinkle some on the vegetables, now there are fewer people who buy vegetables, and there are more people when cooking at night, and they can be sold at that time."
"Thank you, Uncle Qian, I'm not thirsty, just sprinkle some on the dish", Lin Huan took it thankfully, sprinkled some on the dish, covered it with a big leaf, and handed over the bamboo tube.
Then I chatted with Uncle Qian for a long time, knowing that Uncle Qian had a wife and a son, Uncle Qian's wife went to her mother's house in the countryside to visit relatives, Uncle Qian was a butcher, and his son was admitted to Xiucai, which made Uncle Qian very proud and sent him to the provincial capital to study.
This Qingyun City is very peaceful, it used to be a small town, and it was not called Qingyun City, more than a thousand years ago, there was an immortal in this town, and it was the elder of the immortal resort called Qingyun Sect.
The elder named this town Qingyun, and the town slowly prospered and became a small city, and then somehow, two hundred years ago, Qingyun City slowly weakened, but every five years, there will still be immortals who come to this Qingyun City to receive people who are destined to enter the Qingyun Sect.
Lin Huan guessed that this elder was either dead or missing, but he was more concerned about the matter of accepting apprentices, and after careful questioning, he learned that the acceptance of apprentices once every five years was a month, Lin Huan immediately came to the spirit, it seems that the middle-aged man who threw himself here should have come to Qingyun Sect, Lin Huan secretly cheered that he must survive this month and enter Qingyun Sect.
The sun was setting in the west, and the number of women buying vegetables on the street gradually increased, and with the help of Uncle Qian, intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Fan quickly sold a large part of his things.
As long as they buy meat, most of them will come to Lin Huan's place to buy bamboo shoots to make meat, but Lin Huan secretly decided to dig more bamboo shoots tomorrow.
Seeing that it was almost sold, Lin Huan gave the remaining wild vegetables to Uncle Qian, but Uncle Qian couldn't put it off, so he accepted it with a smile, and wanted to give Lin Huan money, but Lin Huan didn't want to live or die.
The other party helped himself too much, otherwise it was difficult to say whether he could sell it, how could he ask for the other party's money.
And Uncle Qian, who accepted the wild vegetables, looked at Lin Huan's eyes more and more fondly.
