Because of what happened before, she felt guilty.

"Little Ancestor, it's so nice of you to pick these mushrooms!"

Qiu Guangdong saw the mushrooms in her backpack at a glance, the smooth chicken leg mushrooms, the fleshy button mushrooms, the bright red red mushrooms, and the green oyster mushrooms that had turned dark blue.

"Now that we've dug up the potatoes, is everything alright in the village for now? The weather is still a bit warmer now, so we can plant some mushrooms and harvest two or three crops. We can also keep the mung beans and soybeans in the village."

As Qiu Yantang was speaking, Qiu Guangdong had already taken out a notebook and was taking notes. It is true that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen.

"Well, after we finish digging the potatoes, we have to harvest the sorghum rice. The rest is basically for each family to harvest radishes, cabbages and the like."

"I won't hand over the potatoes and sorghum, but I'll hand over the corn, but I'll keep it a secret."

Qiujia Village is much stronger than the surrounding villages, so there is no need to stand out too much. Just follow the pace of the surrounding villages.

The potato harvest is good and the sorghum harvest is average. These are all prepared for everyone to eat during the winter. The corn will have to be delivered to the higher authorities in time.

In bad years, we basically have to pay 70% to 80% of the tax. Fortunately, Qiujia Village is relatively remote, and now the farming is done by a large collective, but most of the families just reclaim some wasteland and plant some crops.

They didn't eat from the same pot together. Qiu Guangdong had mentioned this to her, and it was over soon after. There was no need to go through the formalities, so he rejected it directly.

When eating together, conflicts may easily arise if some people eat more or less. If the food is fixed, some people have very different appetites, which makes it difficult to achieve.

It would be better for everyone to live their own lives, go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.

"Little ancestor, what do you mean..." Qiu Guangdong opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

He is too honest and doesn't know how to adapt.

"That's what you meant. Especially the educated youth, no one is allowed to leak the news."

"Tomorrow I'll collect some mushroom spawn and mycelium. You pick out the small potato buttons and dry them. The women in the village can work with me, and you can lead the men in the manual labor."

This is basically the busiest time of the year. Every family has to start stockpiling vegetables, otherwise there will be nothing to eat in the winter.

Qiu Guangdong nodded heavily. It had only been a few days since the little ancestor came back, and their lives already had hope. Maybe they could have a good New Year this year!

It felt like there was a fire burning in his heart.

When Qiu Yantang returned, she saw Wazai waiting for her at the door, and Qiuhua was taking care of the vegetables she had planted in the yard.

Seeing Qiu Yantang, Qiu Hua couldn't help but speak, "You said that Frog wouldn't go back to the house, so he'll wait for you here at the door."

Like a silly child.

Not only Qiuhua was helpless, Qiu Yantang was helpless as well. The frog boy could go back to the space directly, and no one knew why it was so stubborn.

"Tang..." The frog boy actually spoke, although it was only one word.

"Oh my God, little frog, you actually spoke!" Qiu Yantang was excited and went up to it and kissed it.

The froglets turned golden red.

She spat out a book directly. Is this... vomiting from her kiss?

Qiu Yantang was stunned when he saw the name!

《Mushroom Cultivation Encyclopedia!》

Qiuhua didn't know many words. Nowadays, few women go to school. "What's the encyclopedia?"

"Didn't you understand the process of making flower cakes before?" Qiu Yantang was dumbfounded.

"Are you stupid? Isn't there a picture?"

"There's this too!" Qiu Yantang pointed at the mushrooms on the cover. Isn't it obvious? This is obviously about mushrooms.

"This is a mushroom cultivation encyclopedia. I just told Guangdong today that I was planning to grow mushrooms, but I didn't expect Frog to bring back a mushroom cultivation encyclopedia."

Coincidence, right?

"Isn't that great?"

Qiuhua thinks that Frog is quite considerate. In fact, Frog himself thinks so too. He basically brings whatever his owner likes.

Qiu Yantang didn't say anything, but directly opened the mushroom cultivation encyclopedia.

There are various kinds of mushrooms in it. The first part is edible and comes with cultivation methods. The latter part also introduces various kinds of poisonous mushrooms.

"Frog, you know what? If you had brought it back a day earlier, I wouldn't have been so embarrassed."

Qiu Yantang said this earnestly. She said without exaggeration that today was the Waterloo of her life.

The little frog looked at her curiously, not knowing what was going on.

"Qiuhua, let's go collect mushroom spawn and mycelium together tomorrow. Today I'll teach you how to identify mushrooms."

"Little ancestor...are you sure you know him?" Wazai was not there and didn't know what Qiu Yantang looked like today, but Qiuhua was there.

She questioned it!

Qiu Yantang opened the book and showed it to Qiu Hua, "See, it's written in such detail!"

If she made another mistake with such details, her master would most likely come down from heaven to beat her, and even the coffins of her ancestors would not be able to hold her down.

Qiu Yantang took advantage of the good sunshine to teach Qiuhua to recognize mushrooms and learn to read at the same time. Wa Zai was watching beside them.

She taught seriously, and Qiuhua and Wazi also learned seriously.

"That's about it. I looked today, and there are probably only these many species in that woods." Different mushrooms have different growing conditions. Qiu Yantang planned to plant some in that woods in the early stage according to local conditions, and sprinkle mushroom seeds or mycelium in each place, letting the mushrooms grow and spread on their own.

When the weather gets cold, if families want to plant something, teach them to plant it indoors. By then, every family will have a kang, so the temperature can be raised.

"Little ancestor, why are you so kind to Qiujia Village..." Qiuhua was a little moved, not because she was a ghost of Qiujia Village, but because this matter was quite worth being moved by.

Good people and good things.

Qiu Yantang sighed, "It's all because of the old man. He always taught me that when you die, you must return to your roots."

She actually didn't know, did she travel through time or die and return to her roots?

"If the roots aren't healed, then I won't be healed either."

Qiuhua didn't quite understand, but "Our ancestors were right!"

"No, let's pick the mushrooms, otherwise they will be infested with worms tomorrow." Qiu Yantang threw the pheasant neck meat and pheasant on the table. Feng Sipo, that guy, didn't want it and insisted on giving it to him!

It can't be stopped.

"We'll have this for dinner. Just follow your instructions."

Qiuhua nodded. Since there were snakes and chickens, of course they would make dragon and phoenix soup.

However, the most urgent thing they have to do is to deal with the mushrooms, because if they are not handled after picking them, they will easily rot and get infested with insects.

The simplest way to deal with it is to cut the roots with a knife and then clean the soil on top.

Then dry it in the sun.

It is also very convenient to store after drying, and it will not go bad all year round.

"My dear, let's dry these mushrooms separately. Some are good for making soup, and some are good for stewing chicken."

Qiu Yantang nodded. The chef was worthy of being a chef. She actually knew how to do most things. After all, she had lived with her master for so long, and she was the one who took care of the cooking.

At that time she also asked ghosts for help, but her master stopped her and trained her to take care of herself.
