Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Selling Mushrooms
If Jiang Heng really wants to monetize the crops, he can actually do it right away.
She has the three spiritual roots of water, wood and earth, and is born with the holy body of "Shennong". As long as she has enough spiritual energy, she can harvest a bunch of fruits in the blink of an eye.
Just harvesting is useless.
She didn't dare sell it.
Technology has developed to a very advanced level. Even the small town markets in their third-tier cities are full of cameras, and most of the transactions are done with Alipay or WeChat. She can just sell it casually, and if anything happens in the future, she can check it and find out everything.
She was considered to be carrying a treasure, but the spiritual energy in this world was not enough for everyone to practice. Once people knew about her abnormality, it would be difficult for her not to think of all kinds of bad possibilities.
So in order to cash in, Jiang Heng, who had been away from modern society for a long time, just wanted to wait for a month or two until the vegetables she grew came out, and then sell them at a high price under the slogan of being pure natural, pollution-free and pesticide-free. By then, she would definitely be able to pay off the remaining debt.
As for not being able to sell it, she hasn't thought about it yet.
Although I don't plan to supply too much spiritual energy to these vegetables, a little bit can change the quality of the plants, and I will definitely make money.
But now it seems that there is a faster way!
I gave half of the remaining mushrooms to my aunt.
Seeing her pick so many good things, her aunt Chen Aying was also envious, but she refused to accept any. Instead, she said earnestly, "You are stupid! Take these to town to sell. If you can't bear it, sell them to the supermarket. They will definitely accept them."
Jiang Heng had no choice but to put it on her table at home: "How much can this be sold for? Let's eat it ourselves. I'll pick more later."
Chen Aying said angrily, "Do you really think these are cabbages? Your Aunt Qiuhong and I have been searching for a long time and haven't found even two."
Jiang Heng put her hands on her hips and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find it."
Seeing her so sure, Chen Aying suddenly became suspicious: "You didn't go into the mountains?"
Jiang Heng: "...I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Chen Aying was so angry that she chased after him and shouted, "Don't go in there! If you really run into a wild boar, no one will come to your rescue even if you scream for help!"
"I know!" Jiang Heng waved his hand.
Only then did Chen Aying go back.

Jiang Heng felt the gazes behind her withdraw, and she immediately ran even faster. On the way, she passed a house where the man had just returned carrying a hoe. Seeing her running towards her, he smiled and said, "Wow, Erqiu's daughter can run so fast now?"
I clearly remember that she was a quiet kid. While other kids were running around, she was the only one who stayed at home and did her homework.
Jiang Heng called out, "Uncle Changhai."
Jiang Changhai was stunned for a moment, then responded with a smile: "Hey."
Jiang Heng quickly passed by his house and ran towards his own home.
It was still early. After Jiang Heng returned, he immediately found a sack in the storage room and went back to the mountain. It was only half past nine, but the sun was already high in the sky. They were in the central region. In early May, the temperature had gradually risen. The temperature had been between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius in the past few days, and occasionally it could even reach 30 degrees. Now that they were being exposed to the sun, they felt a little hot.
With a thought, her body temperature dropped slightly. Water Spiritual Roots were also adept at ice magic. With the spiritual energy now thin, Jiang Heng could only use a little of her stored spiritual energy to slightly cool down her surroundings.
Once we got to the mountains, the magic was immediately removed.
It's relatively cool here.
Continuing on inward, they soon arrived at the place where Jiang Heng had returned after picking mushrooms. She remembered that there were quite a lot of fir tree mushrooms here, so she didn't plan to go far. Now she looked over here. The first thing she found this time was tea tree mushrooms, growing on rotten wood. The fallen rotten wood just blocked her view. She walked around to see that it was quite a large area.
On the way here, Jiang Heng checked the prices of these. Tea tree mushrooms are not as expensive as fir tree mushrooms, but the price is also 20 to 31 kilograms.
But before picking them, she first performed the Lingyu Jue.
Dark clouds, only half a meter in size, slowly gathered in the air. As she moved, raindrops fell heavily, splashing on the tea tree mushrooms.
The rain, carrying the spiritual energy she input, fell on the plants below. No matter whether it was the tea tree mushrooms or the tender grass underneath, as long as it was a living thing, it grew a lot bigger in an instant. The small tea tree mushrooms at the edge had grown a lot bigger now.
Jiang Heng picked the ones with good size. Originally, they weighed only half a pound, but after she did this, they weighed almost a pound.
After picking them, she turned around and saw a cluster of wild oyster mushrooms, but the price was not that high, so she didn't want them. She just walked around and looked around. She soon found two fir mushrooms and followed the same method. The fir mushrooms that were rained by the spiritual rain had grown a little bigger and looked even more beautiful with a yellowish color.
Jiang Heng picked them happily, leaving some small ones.
Watered by the spiritual rain, even if it hasn't fully grown up now, it will definitely be big enough by tomorrow.
Cluster after cluster, in just a few moments, she had walked around the hill below her feet and collected half a sack of tea tree mushrooms and fir tree mushrooms. This area should be gone, Jiang Heng stood up, took a last look at this area, and planned to fight in another place. This time, she caught a glimpse of an area that seemed to have a different color, not like ordinary mushrooms.
Since he was confused, he simply went over to take a look. He pulled aside the dead leaves around and found that this time he found a black fir mushroom. It was brown in color, with a thicker umbrella, and looked a bit short and fat. However, when Jiang Heng was searching for fir mushrooms just now, it was also mentioned. But it was more than ten yuan more expensive than fir mushrooms!
Jiang Heng smiled with eyes crooked. As usual, he first practiced Lingyu Jue. Seeing that the cluster of black fir mushrooms had grown a circle bigger, he began to pick them carefully.
After picking them, she left some small ones and then really changed places to look for them in another place she had not yet set foot on.
——
It is true that you can live off the land you live on.
There are quite a lot of different kinds of mushrooms.
Even though Jiang Heng was picky and only looked for items of high value that she didn't recognize, she still filled the sack in less than an hour and went back when it was full. It was a long distance, but she had spiritual power to speed up, so it was just after eleven o'clock when she got home.
It's just time to make lunch.
It is better to clean the mushrooms first, pick out some fresh black fir mushrooms, fir mushrooms, and tea tree mushrooms and go back to the kitchen to make mushroom soup. Tear the slightly larger mushrooms into strips, blanch them for one or two minutes, then pour in clean water and boil it again, throw in the mushrooms, add a little ginger and salt, and after three to five minutes, beat an egg and add it. The very simple egg mushroom soup is ready.
Then go to your own backyard and use spiritual power to grow a garlic.
The light green spiritual power fell on the small sprout, and the sprout began to grow instantly until it matured. When it was pulled out with force, a round and plump garlic appeared in the soft soil.
Minced garlic is used to make lettuce. When the lettuce is stir-fried with minced garlic, the whole house is filled with the smell before it even comes out of the pan.
It’s impossible to cook too many dishes for one person, so Jiang Heng only made one dish and one soup. When this was ready, the rice in the rice cooker was also ready.
She first tasted the lettuce. The green lettuce leaves were cut into pieces and wrapped with minced garlic. The garlic aroma and crispy taste, and the slightly salty taste were especially delicious!
Serve yourself another bowl of soup.
As soon as the hot soup entered my mouth, an indescribable deliciousness fell on the tip of my tongue, and at that moment the tip of my tongue seemed to tremble slightly.
When making the soup, Jiang Heng didn't use any strong seasonings, just a little bit of salt. But at this moment, the taste felt very full, just like a lot of chicken essence, but the taste was more delicious than chicken essence and did not put too much burden on the tongue.
He smacked his lips and took another sip.
Still delicious.
Jiang Heng's eyes narrowed with pleasure, especially when he savored the soup carefully, he could find a very thin trace of spiritual energy, so faint that ordinary people could hardly detect it. However, Jiang Heng, whose five senses had become more and more sensitive after practicing, was able to notice it immediately.
Affected by the spiritual rain she dropped, the quality of the mushrooms also changed to a certain extent.
Both the taste and its efficacy have improved. If this were a poisonous mushroom, its toxicity would be much stronger. Eating this kind of thing for a long time would definitely be good for the body, but Jiang Heng always controlled it when it rained spiritual rain, so the benefit would not be very obvious and could only be felt by eating it for a long time.
It’s so delicious, I wonder how much it can be sold for?
Jiang Heng, full of anticipation, had lunch and practiced for half the afternoon. At around four o'clock, she drove the tricycle she had bought when she came back and set off with the sorted mushrooms!
*
Jiang Heng first went to the supermarket that her aunt mentioned.
If the supermarket could charge her a price that satisfied her, she wouldn't have to put in so much effort.
The supermarket here was built only in the past two years. It is very large and new, with many people coming and going. Jiang Heng first went to find the cashier to ask if they purchased mushrooms. After getting a positive answer, the other party contacted the manager.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a white shirt and black trousers came over and greeted me enthusiastically: "Hello, hello, what kind of mushrooms do you have?"
Jiang Heng took him to the basket and looked at it. "They were all picked this morning. I just dusted them off. They're still fresh."
Fresh and tender big mushrooms are sorted and laid out in the basket.
There are not many types of mushrooms, such as fir mushrooms, black fir mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms, and woodland mushrooms, but the total number is not small. The key is that there are no common oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms. Instead, they are all those that can be sold at a price and look good. There are almost no damaged mushrooms, and each one looks plump and thick. Just by looking at them, you can imagine how delicious they will taste when cooked.
The manager's eyes lit up: "How much do you plan to sell this for?"
Jiang Heng quoted the price: "Black fir mushrooms are 80 yuan per catty, fir mushrooms are 60 yuan, and tea tree mushrooms are 50..."
The manager's scalp exploded when he heard this: "Wait! Wait! Your price is more expensive than the normal selling price!"
Jiang Heng was very calm: "These are purely wild, picked deep in the mountains."
The manager was picky and asked, "Your mushrooms are quite large. They look like they were planted artificially."
Jiang Heng simply took a black fir mushroom and handed it over: "You'll know if you smell it. Can artificial ones have this kind of fragrance?"
The manager took it. In fact, he had smelled the fragrance as soon as he approached the tricycle, but now he just wanted to bargain down the price, so he pretended to sniff it and said, "It smells good, but your price is still too high. If you are sincere, reduce the price by 20 yuan each, and I will buy it."
Jiang Heng was surprised: "Are you sure?"
The manager's eyes flashed: "Sure, I'll still charge you next time you come."
Jiang Heng simply took back the black fir mushroom and said, "Sorry, I won't sell it."
After saying that, he rode away on his tricycle.
The speed was so fast that the manager was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the person was really about to leave, he became anxious again. He quickly stepped forward to stop the tricycle that had not yet picked up speed: "Hey, hey, hey, wait a moment, let's talk for a while, why are you leaving so suddenly?!"
