Chapter 73 Disguised Subsidies

Netizen Glass: How is it possible? Cha Cha Li, don’t exaggerate!

Cha Cha Li: Always plan for the worst-case scenario and ask yourself several times, what if?

Netizen Glass:...

Cha Cha Li: So, let’s all go find some food, at least to get through this winter. By the way, you don’t grow vegetables at home?

Netizen Glass:...

The next day, after Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan got up and had dinner, they decided to go out for a walk.

The two men put on raincoats and rubber shoes, took an umbrella and carried two small baskets. Before leaving, they called Zhang Heping.

Seeing that the two men were fully armed, Zhang Heping went back to the house, checked their equipment, and rearmed himself.

This was the first time that the group went to the mountains to look for food, and Shen Yanming suggested going to Qingning Mountain to have a look.

There are mushrooms on Qingning Mountain, which can be regarded as a disguised subsidy from Shen Yanming to Zhang Heping.

As a result, as soon as I walked out of the building, I was stopped by the young man that day.

"Hey, buddy, long time no see. It's so hard to find you guys!"

"Little brother, what do you want to talk to us about?" It turned out to be the man who was chatting with him downstairs on the day when Li Cheng’s general alliance official released the video.

"Ah, nothing much, I just feel like I get along well with you guys. Hey, where are you going? Can you take me with you?" The man touched his head and asked a little shyly.

"We are going to look for ingredients, are you coming?" Shen Yanming didn't mind adding one more person.

The man nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes. You don't know, I've been telling my family these past two days that I want to go out and look for ingredients, but my parents said I was messing around and I almost cried."

"Then can't you go by yourself?" Zhang Heping thought this guy was a little funny.

"I'm embarrassed to be alone, and I don't really recognize those plants."

"Okay, let's go look for it together." Bi Qiaoan nodded and said, "Little brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhao Yu. To be honest, from the first time I saw you, I felt that you must be the kind of great gods who can always make the right choice at the first time. So, I often try my luck here recently to see if I can meet you by chance."

Zhao Yu looked at everyone's expressions and saw that no one was angry, so he continued, "I think I'll have more meat to eat if I follow you!"

"Well, you have good taste!"

Just like that, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan took their two big burdens to the back hill of Qingning Mountain.

Qingning Mountain is divided into the front mountain and the back mountain. The front mountain has been developed by developers and is planted with various plants, just like a small botanical garden.

Chen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan knew that there were many edible things in the mountains in front of Qingning Mountain, such as roses, elm leaves, and toon trees. These were easy to find and recognize, so they could just point them out to the two people on their way back.

The back mountain of Qingning Mountain has been kept in its original state, with a rather messy vegetation. The good thing is that it has a rich variety of plants, but unlike the primitive mountain areas, it is relatively safe.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan took their two big loads and took a detour to the mushroom area.

After one or two months of nourishment from the energy rain, this mushroom area is no longer the same as it was before. At a glance, there are at least two to three thousand mushrooms, and each one is plump and tender.

"What is this? Can I eat it?" Zhao Yu's eyes were shining, his mouth was wide open, and his saliva was almost flowing.

"Mushroom, don't you know it?" Bi Qiaoan looked at Zhao Yu curiously.

"These are shiitake mushrooms and oyster mushrooms. They don't look wild. Could someone have raised them here?" Zhang Heping looked at Shen Yanming thoughtfully.

Shen Yanming neither admitted nor denied it, he just said faintly: "Isn't it good?"

"Okay, okay, who cares who raises it? If you pick it up, it's yours. Hehe, whoever sees it gets a share. It's rich!" Zhao Yu ignored the two men and started picking them directly.

This guy didn't bring a basket when he went out, he only brought two plastic bags, saying, "No one will know if I don't take them out, and no one will laugh at me if I have nothing in my hands!"

What a weird idea. Who do you think you are? Who would laugh at you?

Bi Qiaoan also reached out to pick up mushrooms, and reminded others, "Don't pick the small ones, wait until they grow bigger."

Zhang Heping and Zhao Yu didn't even raise their heads. They just hummed and kept picking mushrooms with their hands.

After Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan picked a basket of mushrooms, they stopped picking and stood up and walked not far away.

Not long after, Bi Qiaoan discovered a field of gray vegetables.

This is a super delicious wild vegetable, and it is said to be the best tasting wild vegetable.

Bi Qiaoan pulled Shen Yanming and picked the freshest and tenderest parts, picking half a basket.

Bi Qiaoan also used the basket as a cover to dig up a few young lilies of the Chinese wolfberry and put them into the planting area.

When Zhang Heping and Zhao Yu had almost picked all the big mushrooms, they found that Shen Yanming and his men had already moved to another location.

After they packed up their spoils, they hurried to find Shen Yanming. Finally, under Shen Yanming's guidance, they picked a lot of gray vegetables and dandelions.

By the evening, everyone had filled their baskets and bags. This time, Shen Yanming led a few people back from the main road. When passing by the front mountain, he pointed to the locust trees and elm trees to show them, telling them that these leaves were edible.

When we passed by the garden, I picked half a basket of roses, which were real edible roses, and told them that this was also edible.

Zhang Heping and Zhao Yu were both confused and followed suit, picking a lot of fruits. They walked back with a lot of harvests.

After getting off Qingning Mountain, they met many residents of the community, some of whom were getting off work and preparing to go home, some who were out shopping and preparing to go home to cook, and some who were going home from school.

Everyone cast curious glances at him, and some came forward to ask questions. Shen Yanming generously showed everyone their harvests and recommended "Foraging for Food in the Mountains" to everyone.

Those edible ingredients on the mountain will be wasted if they are not collected. Moreover, with the nourishment of energy rain, the plants are growing particularly well. As long as people work hard, it will not be a problem to save green leafy vegetables to eat until the end of the year.

In the previous life, no one knew that a drought would come, and no one prepared in advance, so all the edible food was eaten up early.

When the dry season comes, plants stop growing, leaves turn yellow and fall off, and it becomes impossible to find some tree leaves to eat.

After collecting their thoughts, they walked to Building 6 and were about to go their separate ways.

Zhao Yu added Shen Yanming as a friend and agreed to contact him on WeChat next time they were looking for food.

Chen Yanming also reminded Zhao Yu to clean the ingredients after returning home, make dried vegetables and mushrooms according to the instructions, and store them well.

After Zhang Heping and Zhao Yu left, they asked Shen Yanming, “Are we really going to eat these grasses and flowers in the future?”

Chen Yan rolled his eyes in understanding, "It's good to have something to eat."

Zhang Heping looked at the mushrooms, ash-green vegetables, and roses in his basket, swallowed his saliva, nodded, and said, "You're right!"

When Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan returned home, neither of them was in a hurry to prepare dinner.
