The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Chapter 184 The next one will be better

Zhou Mingshu didn't want to lie in the house anymore, so he put on his shoes and came out to help.

"San Ya, don't do these things yet. Help me turn over the mushrooms on the eaves."

When Old Mrs. Zhou saw her granddaughter's attitude, she knew that she was coming to help.

But this wheat had just been rubbed from the ground and simply fanned away, and it was filled with dirt, stones, and weeds, so it made my hands a bit dirty.

While my granddaughter’s hands are still clean, I’ll do some clean work first.

"Okay grandma."

The weather is pretty good today, and the mushrooms in the basket have been dried to a half-dried state.

After another day of drying, it can be put away.

"Grandma, this wave of mushrooms has almost been processed. When are we going to pick more? There are so many mushrooms in the mountains. If we don't pick them up, they will be wasted."

It has been several days since the rain, and I believe the small mushrooms have grown up by now. Now is a good time to pick them.

"As long as you're not afraid of the heat, go ahead if you want to. You don't have anything to do at home this afternoon anyway."

"Haha, okay, I'll go ask the eldest and second sisters when they wake up."

Zhou Mingshu helped Old Lady Zhou pour the picked wheat into the water jar, and then used a filter spoon to stir it back and forth to clean out the impurities inside.

The wheat was indeed dirty. She stirred it back and forth with the strainer, and the clear water in the jar immediately became dirty.

Sure enough, it is necessary to wash the wheat twice, otherwise the flour ground from it would be unhygienic to eat.

Liu and Zhu were originally grinding mung bean milk in front of the village chief's house, but not long after, Zhou Lao Da and his three brothers came over. They took over their work and let them rest on the side.

These hard work should be done by men. The strenuous work that Liu and Zhu did seemed to become easy when it came to them.

Of course, the speed also increased.

Before long, all the buckets of mung bean milk were ready.

After transporting it home, prepare for subsequent processing.

Zhou Mingshu was feeding the little donkey in the backyard. She would come over to interact with it whenever she had nothing to do. She had to feed it first as she had to go to the distant mountains later.

The people who were going to pick mushrooms were quickly decided. Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan led the team, and there were six people including Zhou Mingqi, Zhou Mingshu, Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie.

The rest of the people made mung bean flour at home, collected firewood and cut grass...

This time they brought six backpacks and returned when the baskets were full.

This way, they have enough energy and time to deal with them and prevent the mushrooms from being covered together overnight.

They had come here two or three times and were already familiar with this road. The difference from before was that the grass was more lush this time.

The little donkey ran very fast and they soon reached their destination.

Before even going up the mountain, they found mushrooms in the grass at the foot of the mountain.

"Haha, this fungus is really good at growing, and it grows in such a conspicuous place. It doesn't realize the evil of us humans at all~"

They collected all the mushrooms they came across, no matter what variety, as long as they liked them.

Zhou Mingshu’s favorite thing to pick is porcini mushrooms. This kind of mushroom is plump and looks very cute. It is large in size and tastes good. You can pat its big round head before picking it. Who can not like it?

However, she didn't pick many of the coral fungi she had encountered before. It was not because she didn't like them anymore, but because the fungi were too big and one would take up a lot of space if she put it in the container.

There is only so much space in the backpack. If it is completely filled up, what's the point?

Zhou Mingqi found a circle of chanterelles, the golden mushrooms looked particularly cute.

Zhou Mingqi screamed in surprise and called Zhou Mingshu to come over and pick together.

But when I squeezed the mushrooms into my hands, I found that more than half of the chanterelles in the mushroom circle had gone bad.

"What a pity! If we had come earlier, they wouldn't have died."

Zhou Mingqi frowned and sighed.

"Haha, it's okay, the next one will be better."

"Haha, you're right, let's continue."

Because the mushrooms grow densely and are very large, you can find some mushrooms of one kind or another under almost every tree.

So before they reached the halfway point of the mountain, their backpacks were already full.

"Forget it, let's not climb up anymore, let's go home early and clean up these mushrooms."

Zhou Lao Er and Zhou Lao San were already walking back.

Since Zhou Mingshu had exchanged a lot of points into the system, her backpack was not so full that it was about to overflow.

"Then let's go home. I saw some water spinach here just now. Should we pick some?"

"Okay, I'll just have some more food when I get home."

They walked in the direction Zhou Mingshu pointed, and did not pick any mushrooms even if they saw them on the way.

There's really no room in the backpack.

Each of them picked a handful of Amaranthus, which was more than enough for them to eat.

"Let's go, it's getting late."

They kept walking down the mountain, but when passing by a dead tree, Zhou Mingjie was attracted by the mushrooms on it.

"Uncle, look what kind of mushroom this is and why it's growing on a tree."

The mushrooms grew one by one, crowded together and growing upwards, but for Zhou Mingjie, this was not surprising.

What surprised him was that the tree was covered with this kind of fungus from beginning to end, as if it had been completely invaded by the fungus.

Zhou Laoer went forward and took a look, and saw that it was a mushroom.

"Good boy, we found so many oyster mushrooms. We won't be able to eat them all."

Zhou Laoer put down the backpack, took off his shirt and tied it into a knot, then started picking oyster mushrooms from the tree.

This bunch of oyster mushrooms are growing very well and are just tender. If you come too early or too late, you will miss it.

Zhou Laoer cut slowly with a knife, but the capacity of the clothes was still too small and could not hold anything.

"Dad, there's still room in my backpack."

So there were two more clumps of oyster mushrooms in Zhou Mingshu's backpack, and the remaining small ones were put into Zhou Laosan's clothes.

This time I really can’t put down even one.

When they reached the foot of the mountain and unloaded the backpack onto the donkey cart, Zhou Mingshu moved his tired shoulders.

This is simply torture!

Because of the six extra baskets of mushrooms, the little donkey slowed down a little on the way home.

They can just enjoy the gentle evening breeze.

When they returned home, the people at home were busy making mung bean jelly. It was indeed a bit time-consuming to make six buckets of mung bean jelly.

But now they have two big pots, so they can increase the speed a lot.

Several people poured the collected mushrooms in the middle of the yard, and whoever was free came over to help sort them.

Zhou Mingshu's backpack was the last one to be unloaded. There were some greenflies in her backpack, and she had to "take care of" them herself.

Those pure white oyster mushrooms were also placed separately in a basket and enjoyed high-end treatment.

They are so clean that they won't be dumped into the 'hodgepodge' and get contaminated by dirt and weeds.

"I picked some agaric mushrooms today. I'll make you some fried agaric mushrooms with pork lard later. Don't touch this mushroom until I've made it."

"it is good."

"it is good."

Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Minghua cooperated with her and agreed in unison.

In fact, she was speaking to these two little ones.
