Chapter 8 Salt Change
Jin Mang followed Qingsui into the woods all the way, and the mother and daughter soon found a large area of mushrooms, but to her consternation...... These mushrooms ...... She didn't know any of them.
City A is a second-tier city, and the area where it is located is not rich in mushrooms, but the modern society has developed logistics, and there are all that should be in large supermarkets, and you can still shop online if you don't succeed.
Jin Mang is not particularly fond of mushrooms, but she also buys some back from time to time, and there are not a few types of mushrooms she has eaten, such as shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, these common mushrooms are not to mention, such as matsutake mushrooms, chicken fir mushrooms, morels These rare mushrooms she has also eaten, but the quality is slightly worse.
However...... None of these mushrooms in front of her were familiar to her.
It's kind of incredible.
Either these mushrooms are poisonous, or ...... These are Anze's "specialties".
Jin Mang had already discovered that many places in Anze were similar to the earth, but there were also many places that were very different from the earth.
For example, the berries she had never eaten, the animal varieties she had never heard of, the yarn vines that could be used to make clothes directly after being picked, washed and dried, and the iron-based trees that were so dense and hard that they could be compared to iron......
"Can you eat all these mushrooms?" Jin Mang asked casually.
Qingsui shook his head and nodded again: "Except for a few, everything else can be eaten." β
Well?
Could it be that Anze's mushrooms are more pure?
Jin Mang thought so, so he listened to Qingsui and said: "Some mushrooms are poisonous, but at most you can have a stomach ache if you eat them, but some mushrooms are poisonous...... Eating it will make people crazy, it will consume too much energy, and it will be fatal at all times, so you can't eat it. β
Jin Mang: "......" is that I don't know it.
But when she thinks about it, she understands it again.
In her previous life, when she was five years old, her grandfather was critically ill, and everyone worked together to send him to the county hospital, and later transferred to the provincial hospital because of his condition. It will be a mess, adults don't care about her child at all, and when they come back to their senses, they can't see Jin Mang, and the people in the village think that grandma took her to the provincial capital, grandma ...... Grandma already had symptoms of Alzheimer's disease at that time, and Grandpa knew it in his heart, but she didn't know it herself, and neither did the people in the village.
At that time, Jin Mang was tired of playing in the old mansion, and found a room to sleep in the dark, not knowing what was happening outside.
By the time she woke up, it was already dark, and the door to the old mansion had been closed.
ββThe door was covered by the villagers passing by, thinking that the Jin family was gone, although the house was broken, but it was still possible to detect some usable bricks and tiles, and close the door, so as to prevent someone from having bad intentions.
The old house of the Jin family was returned later, except for the outside wall, which has been broken inside, and the family has no money to repair it, so it has been left like that, and the only use is to plant some vegetables and fruits in the yard, add a vegetable to the family, and let Jin Mang add a snack.
The location of the old house is remote, and it is separated from Dajin Village by a big river, and the villagers usually don't come over if they have nothing to do, and no one can hear Jin Mang's shouting in his throat, so he can only rely on himself in the end.
Grandpa Jin and Grandma Jin stayed in the provincial capital for a month, and Jin Mang stayed in the old mansion for a month.
It was early autumn, and the vegetables and fruits in the yard had passed the harvest period, and the cowpeas and loofah vines were growing vigorously, but they just didn't bear fruit; The lentils had some fruit, but they grew to a height along the telephone pole, and the golden mangs could not be eaten no matter how strong they were; Eggplants can be picked once or two a week, and sometimes they are pecked by birds; There is a fig tree in the corner of the yard, and an average of two figs are picked a day.
is a normal child, this little thing is not enough to fill the stomach, let alone Jin Mang, who has a large amount of food in a small meal.
How that month passed, Jin Mang didn't want to recall.
Fortunately, she is a lotte person, although she has such a special experience, but in addition to the problem of liking things and practicing martial arts, she is very healthy physically and mentally, and she can't talk about shadows at all.
- As for why he likes to practice martial arts because of this, it is because Jin Mang felt that if he was able to go out directly over the wall or kick the wall down, he would not have to suffer from that month at all.
Jin Mang has tasted the taste of hunger, really hungry to the point that as long as he can fill something in his stomach, what is a stomachache?
It's better than hunger.
In fact, mushroom picking is just a leisure job, a pastime after the hunt is completed and a lot of physical exertion is consumed. In the past few days, Qingsui has hunted far more frequently than usual, and some of the prey is frozen, and some are roasted and eaten.
Jin Mang eats very much every day, and eats more than five meals a day, and he can't bear it.
She's not going to be a fat man, is she?
However, she was more concerned about another thing.
"Mother, when will Father come back?" Jin Mang asked with some concern.
Qingsui frowned slightly, "It's going to be a few days, there aren't many tribes with salt, he may have to go a little farther." β
"Father going alone?" Jin Mang tilted his head.
The Anze humans also talk about kinship, although they usually live in their respective territories, but in some things, they will also unite to form a clan in the mouth of outsiders.
Salt mines are rare, and in order to be able to occupy them for a long time, the people of the tribe will unanimously turn to the outside world.
Qingfeng and Qingsui have always hoped to find a salt mine so that they no longer need to exchange salt with other tribes.
Listening to Qingsui, changing salt is a dangerous thing in itself, and on the way, you have to pass through the territory of other fierce beasts, and it is very likely that you will have a dispute with the lord beast during the hunt, resulting in casualties. And the deal is also a dangerous thing, once the two sides can't get along...... Some unscrupulous tribes are unwilling to exchange their hard-earned prey for salt, so they will squat and rob the salt-exchanging troops.
"Of course not." Qingsui said: "Your uncles and aunts will go together." β
Jin Mang breathed a sigh of relief, she had never seen other relatives other than her parents. Because the cub's breath will attract attacks from other beasts, non-direct relatives will not touch the cubs of the tribe.
After waiting for half a month, even Qingsui began to be anxious, Qingfeng came back with a big leather bag.
It's just that his appearance is not very good, there is a wound on the back of his exposed hand, and a piece of his scalp has been cut off.
Jin Mang's eyes were split, but Qingsui was relieved, as long as the person came back alive, everything would be fine.
"Big brother, they're all back together, right?" Then she remembered other loved ones.
Qingfeng nodded, "We were lucky this time, we only encountered two robbery teams on the way back, except for one that I encountered a more tricky one, the strength of the other enemies was mediocre, just ......"
He sighed and said: "The salt tribe has changed, acting differently from the original, more greedy, this time we have exchanged a lot less salt than in previous years." β
