Chapter 329: Picking up mushrooms
Early the next morning, it was still dark, and the time was about three or four o'clock in the morning, Qin Xi got up, and Qin Jiang also got up after him.
After washing my face with cold water and stimulating it, all the sleepiness ran away.
The two worked together, one lit the fire and the other cooked, and soon, breakfast was made.
Add hot water to the fried noodles, stir into a paste, and then there is a bowl of egg drop soup, which is still very comfortable to eat together.
As for the children, they were still sleeping, so they didn't prepare her, and when they were done, they buried three sweet potatoes in the embers between the stoves, and when they came back, they pulled them out and ate them.
This sweet potato was saved by them with great difficulty, and when it was winter, it was placed in the cellar of Zhiqing Point, which was safely preserved until now, otherwise it would have been frozen long ago.
After eating, the two of them carried a basket behind their backs, Qin Jiang carried a bamboo basket in his hand and a bamboo stick in the other, and Qin Xi held a stick in one hand and a flashlight in the other.
Equipped, the two set off.
Rubber shoes are still very powerful at this time, it is drizzling outside, hats and oil paper cloaks, the same can not be less, just this dress, it is enough, after all, there are no weeds in the forest, even on the side of the road, it is rare.
Just this one, when you encounter this little drizzle, you don't have to be afraid at all, if nothing else, when you come back, your clothes are still dry.
This oiled paper cloak is much lighter than the robe, and the footsteps of the two are very brisk, and if it is early, they deserve to be the first.
As soon as he entered the forest, Qin Jiang was stunned, it stands to reason that after a day of looting yesterday, there should be a lot less fungi in the forest today! But as far as the eye can see, the flashlight light swept through, basically saw the fungus, if this forest is like this, then they will definitely be able to pick up a lot of fungus today.
"Why are there so many?"
After more than three years in Chen Hui Village, he has become accustomed to the days when he can only pick up a few catties of mushrooms in the morning, and he was a little shocked to see so many at once.
"Yesterday in this forest, there were more than that, otherwise I would be alone, busy for four or five hours, how could I pick up so many back."
"Don't say it, pick it up quickly, when the day dawns, there are many people here, there will be no such good thing, when the time comes, everyone will definitely rush to pick it up, we don't have any skills, but we can't grab those aunts and aunts."
There are many people in the forest, and there will definitely be more accidents, some villagers don't talk about martial arts, as long as they see the fungus, no matter who finds it, they will rush up to grab it, and whoever grabs it is who's whoever, and even some aunts and aunts, taking advantage of the chaos to stretch their hands into other people's back baskets, not to mention how annoying it is.
Even if it was discovered, the person's face was very thick, and he didn't take it seriously at all, smiled and said a few words to people, saying that it was a joke, and then turned around and left, not embarrassed at all.
Because there was only one flashlight, the two were huddled together to pick up fungi, and they were not separated at all.
The hands of the two were also fast, and these fresh mushrooms that had just grown for a few hours and the umbrella lid was ajar, all of them were received into the basket by the two of them.
Because the sky is still dark now, there are almost no people competing with them, the two of them are now like no one's land, picking up a mess, not picking at all, as long as it is a good fungus, they have all received it in the basket, yesterday I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, the unknown fungus can also be sold for three cents a catty, they do not dislike it.
After picking up in the forest for more than an hour, the sky changed a little, from dark to bright, although it was still foggy and still raining, but Qin Xi seemed to have heard the sound from outside, just behind them, maybe someone had already started to enter the forest.
After all, the fungi in this forest are picked up and sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives, which is free money.
"Brother, let's avoid people, send the fungus in the back basket home first, and come back later."
After more than an hour of unscrupulous sweeping, the two of them had their back baskets full, and the basket Qin Jiang was carrying in his hand also contained a few catties of mushrooms.
As for the mushrooms in the two back baskets behind them, there should be forty or fifty catties, and the unknown mushrooms are the most, although there are some fir mushrooms and mushrooms, but they didn't go out of their way to find them, and the forest is not very deep, these two relatively few fungi are naturally much less.
After all, fir mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms are a bit picky about growing places.
"Okay, let's go now, if there are more people in the forest, it's not good to be surrounded."
This fungus is not stolen or robbed, it is picked up early, and it is naturally nothing to be seen, but it can't stand some people who love to say sour words, and they don't like to listen to others say those sour words.
There are also some people who are not honest with their hands and feet, and if they are honest, their hands may be stretched into your back basket.
On the way back, the brother and sister did not turn on the flashlight, for fear of luring others over, and now the sky is now able to see the road, the two are still familiar with the road in the forest, so they naturally walked all the way home.
As soon as the two of them went home and opened the door, Wan Yao woke up, and after Qin Xi washed his hands, he went to the small grass shed and took out the sweet potatoes in the stove, and then the three of them drank water and ate sweet potatoes at the same time.
Qin Xi will also peel the roasted sweet potato, compared to her, Qin Jiang is much simpler and rude, patting the ashes stained on the outside of the sweet potato, rubbing the skin of the sweet potato with his hand, and directly biting the whole thing, which is not much simpler.
It took a few minutes to finish eating, and the brother and sister had to set off with the basket on their backs, but Wan Yao wanted to go with them to prove her worth and let her brothers and sisters see that she was not eating rice.
Seeing that she was resolute and thinking of her still injured foot, Qin Xi assigned her a task, sitting in the small grass hut, picking up the fungi they brought back, and then classifying them, this job is still very important.
As soon as the two left, Wan Yao moved a small stool to the small grass hut and buried himself in it.
This time Qin Xi didn't leave with a basket, there were many people in the forest, and next, they spent three or four hours in the forest, and it was not certain whether they could fill the two back baskets! With a basket, it is purely superfluous.
As soon as the two went out, they met Qin He and Liu Mei, who had just gotten up.
Qin He walked out of the door, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "Big brother Xiaoxi, it's so early!" ”
"It's going to go. Picking up mushrooms? ”
Looking at his intimacy with Liu Mei now, I can't see the anger last night at all, and I really responded to the old saying, between husband and wife, it was a fight at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, and I was still angry yesterday! Today is quiet, and it will be reconciled again.
