Zhou Huaian took the cheerful Wangcai and picked some mushrooms along the way. Now they have arrived at the bamboo forest.

As he entered the forest, he saw two bamboo fungi that were spreading their white skirts. He hurried forward to pluck them up, "Luckily I caught them in time. Flowers that are about to bloom are the most peaceful!"

"Woof woof" Wangcai held a bamboo shoot worm in his mouth and looked at him proudly to show off his achievements.

"What are you looking for a bug for?" Zhou Huaian patted its head and took it with a smile, "When Jiuer grows up, you can find one for him to play with."

Bamboo shoot worms usually have brown and yellowish brown "armor", six legs on the left and right, and the legs are divided into three sections. The front section has a sharp hook and a long straw-like mouth on the head, which can pierce into the bamboo shoots to suck the juice.

When there is any sign of trouble, he lies down and pretends to be dead, looking so cute and adorable.

The scientific name of the bamboo shoot insect is Bamboo Elephant, which is named because its long "nose" is in the shape of a "one".

The bamboo shoot worm is a purely natural wild edible insect that parasitizes on the tail of bamboo. It grows by sucking bamboo sap and eating bamboo for a long time. It is also called the bamboo elephant worm, and the larvae are called bamboo shoot maggots.

It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, supplementing protein and replenishing blood.

Zhou Huaian stepped on the soft and moist rotten soil, his eyes constantly scanning the bamboo forest, and found a small bulge under the dead leaves with a little white exposed. He thought it was a bamboo fungus egg, so he walked forward and poked it with a crowbar, and a golden cicada flower revealed its true appearance.

"Bashi!" He pulled up the golden cicada flowers and put them in the basket. Looking at the dead leaves next to them, he thought there were more underneath. He picked up the machete and chopped a handful of bamboo branches with leaves on them, sweeping away all the dead leaves next to them.

Only after a quick glance could I see clearly that there was actually a large area of ​​bamboo fungus eggs underneath, and the bamboo fungi inside were struggling to break out of their shells.

This is really developed!

Zhou Huaian patted Wangcai, who was shaking his tail and digging for golden cicada flowers with his claws, and said, "Get out of the way. Don't break the things I sell. I'm going to catch pheasants and rabbits and give you rabbit legs to eat tonight!"

"Woof woof!" Wangcai wagged his tail and ran into the woods.

He bent over and started picking them up. It was very easy to pick them up. He pried them up gently with a crowbar, and a golden cicada flower entered the bamboo basket. He pulled up all the others, and also pulled up the bamboo fungi that had broken their eggshells.

In just a moment, he had picked all the grass that had been swept away. He thought this was a good idea, so he picked up the bamboo branch and continued sweeping.

There were actually quite a few newly-cleared areas. Zhou Huaian smiled with his full white teeth showing, "It's still safer to go into the mountains. There are a lot of treasures there, haha!"

With his eyes shining, he kept waving the crowbar. After clearing one piece, he continued moving forward. He found that there were fewer dead leaves swept away this time and the humus layer was not thick enough. He felt that he had not gained much this time. As expected, he only picked up a golden cicada flower.

Zhou Huaian thought about it and felt that he should look for places with lots of fallen leaves and thick rotten soil. Next time he would specifically look for such places to start. Sure enough, there were more goods than the previous place.

Just as he plucked up a few golden cicada flowers, he heard "Woof woof~Woof woof~" sounds coming from below. He hurriedly picked up the rifle in his backpack and chased after them.

Wangcai was seen biting a badger's butt, with several bloody grooves on its nose. He hurried forward and chopped the badger's head with the back of his machete, knocking it to the ground.

"It's easy now, you've got a three-eyed face!" Zhou Huaian said as he took out some hemostatic powder and sprinkled it on Wangcai's nose, "You almost scratched your eyeball, and a one-eyed dragon is even uglier!"

"Woof woof!" After Wangcai finished spreading the medicine, he rushed to the big tree, dug a few times with his front paws, then turned his head and barked at Zhou Huaian a few times, indicating that there was still something inside.

"Got it!" Zhou Huaian smiled and picked up the medicine hoe. "Just stay here and wait for me to block all the nearby exits, then I'll come and deal with them."

"Woof woof!" Wangcai lay at the entrance of the cave diligently.

Zhou Huaian searched around and found a few badger holes. He blocked all the entrances and then cut dead branches and grass, tied them into bundles and went to the entrance of the hole guarded by Wangcai.

"Go guard the other one, leave this one to me." He took out a moxa stick from his bag, wrapped it in a bundle of grass, lit it and stuffed it in.

He kept fanning the cave with leaves, muttering, "In this weather, I wonder if those idiots are in their den. If not, I've wasted a moxa stick."

Wangcai, who was guarding nearby, moved his ears a few times. In a blink of an eye, a badger pig rushed out of the cave. Wangcai pounced on the badger pig and bit it on its butt.

"Aoao!" The badger screamed and turned its head to bite Wangcai. Zhou Huaian also arrived, raised his knife and hit the badger on the head, knocking it to the ground.

The man and the dog waited at the entrance of the cave for a while, but they didn't see the badgers come out again. Zhou Huaian then carried the two dead badgers back to the bamboo forest.

He patted his dog and wagged his tail, looking at him proudly, "Great job, I'll give you and Lai Fu a big bone to chew when I get back!"

"Woof woof!" Wangcai turned around and ran away again.

Zhou Huaian continued to search in the woods. He walked through the entire bamboo forest and picked up a full bamboo basket of bamboo fungi and a net basket of golden cicada flowers. Then he sat on a big rock and took out the eggs, bacon and potatoes he had brought and started to eat.

Wangcai ate two eggs and a few slices of bacon, then lay on the ground with his eyes closed to take a rest.

After eating, Zhou Huaian looked at the time and started to walk back, thinking that he would start collecting the goods as soon as he got home. He didn't know if that bastard Xiong Laosan succeeded in stealing her girl.

…

Xu Laosan was talking to Secretary Xu about this at the moment, "Old man, why are you so rigid? A car over there costs more than 60 yuan, and we can make more than 1,000 yuan by mistake in the next few months."

Li Hongxiu also said: "Old man, more than a thousand yuan can build a house, why do you have to sell it to Zhou Laoyao?"

"Without Zhou Laoyao, would we come out to collect goods? Don't forget, it was Zhou Laoyao who gave us the idea, so we can sit here to collect goods and make money!" Secretary Xu said without allowing any rebuttal, "People should be trustworthy. You don't need to say anything about this. I don't agree."

He became increasingly disappointed with his third child. Not only was he overambitious but also had a thin eye. He was far inferior to the youngest child, Zhou.

Alas! No wonder the second brother would rather take the honest eldest brother and his wife to Ning'an than the seemingly shrewd third brother and his wife.

"Old man!" Xu Laosan looked at him dissatisfiedly, "We came out to make money, and the more we can make..."

"Third brother!" Li Hongxiu hurriedly pulled him, "It doesn't matter if the old man doesn't agree. Let's go and help load the goods. We should set off later."

"..." Xu Laosan stomped his feet and walked out.

Li Hongxiu hurriedly followed him and whispered, "You are stupid! You have already agreed with Xiong Laoyao to let him go to the foot of Guanyin Mountain to pick up the goods. You unload the goods to him there. Can't we keep the money we earn ourselves?"

"That's right!" Xu Laosan's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a moment he said, "My mother is at home, what if she finds out..."

"My mother won't go to Guanyin Mountain, so how would she know?" Li Hongxiu glanced at him, "Hurry up and have someone load all the first-class goods on board so that it will be easier to unload when we get there."

"Yes!" Xu Laosan walked briskly towards the tractor parked in the yard and instructed the men who were helping to load the first-class goods on it.

Secretary Xu turned his head to look at Xu Laosan and his wife who were helping to carry the bamboo baskets, closed the account book, went into the house to put it down, and went over to help.

The place where they lived was a house of the production team that the second brother helped to find. The secretary of the brigade was the second brother's comrade-in-arms. He took good care of them and they didn't have to worry about blackmail from scoundrels.

When he was preparing to harvest truffles at the end of the year, he would come here to collect them and send them back. With the 10% share, his income for the year was quite considerable.

They had been hiding the matter of the one percent stake from the eldest and third oldest brothers, planning to wait until the youngest oldest brother returned from military service before telling his brothers.

When Xu Laosan saw him carrying a basket of red mushrooms, he hurriedly said, "Old man, go and take a rest. I will lead the others to load them."

Secretary Xu: "The radio said it's going to rain today, so hurry up and pack your things and go back early, so you don't have to wait for the rain to make it difficult to travel."

"Oh!" Several people quickened their work, stacked the goods, inserted the raised baffle, and tied the bamboo basket with a rope.

Secretary Xu went back to the house and took out a tarpaulin. "Old Third, take this with you. It will provide some shelter in case it rains."

"Okay!" Xu Laosan took the tarpaulin and put it under the seat cushion, took the kettle handed to him by Li Hongxiu and put it away, started the tractor and drove towards Ning'an.

The tractor passed Ning'an and got on the mechanized farming road in Fangtian, and caught up with Zhou Huaiqing and his brother who were driving the ox cart. He shouted, "Huaiqing, did you harvest so much today?"

Zhou Huaiqing said happily: "It rained last night, so today's goods are especially good! Yours is also good today!"

"Still..." Xu Laosan remembered the agreement with Xiong Laosan and swallowed the words that were about to come back to his mouth. He slowed down, "Oh no, there are so few first-class goods!"

At this time, a cool breeze blew over, and Zhou Huaiqing whipped the ox, "Brother, hurry up."

"Oh oh!" Zhou Huaiping drove the old ox towards the rich ox.

The youngest Xiong couple sat on a cart, looking anxiously at the endless stream of villagers walking towards Fu Niu. When they saw the tractor coming on the mechanized farming road, they hurriedly pulled the cart into the woods and waited.

After a lot of effort, I saw Zhou Huaiqing and his brother driving a ox cart over there. I waited for more than ten minutes before I heard the rumbling noise of a tractor coming towards us.

The two of them hurriedly pulled the cart and ran out of the woods with Shen Lianfang. When they saw Xu Laosan stopped the tractor, they happily took the scale off the cart.

Xu Laosan jumped off the tractor and untied the rope while saying, "Xiong Laoyao, these goods have been picked over there. Take the bamboo baskets to be weighed first. When I come out of Zhou Laoyao's house, you can return the bamboo baskets to me and peel them."

The youngest bear thought for a moment and said, "In that case, how about I give you the money later?"

Xu Laosan shook his head repeatedly, "No way. Today we have received a total of 1,560 kilograms of first-class goods. You keep 360 kilograms and I will report to Zhou Laoyao. The rest will be yours."

The youngest bear nodded and said, "How about this! I'll give you half of the money first, and when I go back and remove the skin, I'll give you the rest."

I received more than 200 kilograms of goods yesterday and have already spent more than 100 yuan. I gave him all the more than 1,500 kilograms, and I still have no money to pay the bill!

Give him 1,000 kilograms first, and keep the remaining 200 kilograms. Mr. Xu has more than 100 yuan in his hands, so are you still afraid that he won't deliver the goods next time? (End of this chapter)
