"Then let's go to the mountains to the east." Qiao Lao Er and Wan Shi set off.
If it's still like before, earning a few taels a day, that would be pretty good.
Others went to the county town to set up stalls to sell snacks, while those who stayed at home went up the mountain to find mushrooms.
Some people stayed at home, while most of the Qiao family went up the mountain.
Almost every household in the village was mobilized. However, the mushrooms that appeared after the rain were not as numerous as the first time. With so many people in the village, after most of the morning had passed, each household had only found a few mushrooms, and some had not found any at all.
They were all a little discouraged and pinned their hopes on the next few days. If the mushrooms didn't grow much in the next few days, then this year's mushroom season would be over.
Sigh, money really is hard to come by.
Qiao Lian'er's purpose in going up the mountain was not these mushrooms, although Da Meng and Zhi Zhi were very enthusiastic about finding them.
"Sigh, we've climbed over a whole mountain, and we haven't found a single mushroom." Qiao Zhizhi began to feel a little discouraged.
Xiao Meng: "Yeah, I thought it would grow a lot after it rained. I remember it used to grow quite a bit after it rained."
"I'll go take a look over there." Qiao Lian'er found a relatively secluded spot.
Once they arrived, they found themselves surrounded by low trees and no one around. Qiao Lian'er then took out the strawberries and tomatoes from her spatial storage.
Strawberries are precious, so she put them all in the basket, filling it to the brim.
As for tomatoes, she first took out fifty catties. Of course, she couldn't just pile them on the ground. Instead, she transplanted the tomato seedlings that were growing fifty catties of tomatoes. The tomato seedlings in the space had well-developed branches and vines that extended a long way. Each time, they could bear ten catties of fruit, so transplanting five seedlings would be enough.
However, these tomato seedlings are supported by scaffolds in the space, otherwise they simply cannot stand up.
The tomato seedlings, freshly transplanted, were laden with fruit, some of them leaning to the ground.
Qiao Lian'er didn't move the shelves out, otherwise the signs of faking would be too obvious. It's impossible for someone to come all the way up the mountain to tend to the tomatoes, set up shelves, and leave the bright red tomatoes unharvested.
"Come here quickly!" Qiao Lian'er exclaimed, feigning surprise.
Xiao Meng and Zhi Zhi thought she had found mushrooms, so they quickly ran over.
Upon arrival, one is greeted by a sea of red; some are in baskets, smaller in size, while others are on branches, much larger.
"Wow, what are all these?"
"It's something delicious, I just found it." Qiao Lian'er handed each of them a strawberry.
The two of them held it, hesitant to eat it.
"Lian'er, this thing is blood red, is it really okay?" Qiao Zhizhi asked.
"What's the problem?" Qiao Lian'er put the pieces into her mouth one by one, eating them with relish.
It's blood red, but this is more like a vibrant, dripping red, isn't it?
Seeing how calmly she ate, the two of them also picked up strawberries and started eating.
One bite and your eyes light up. The aroma fills your mouth, it's fresh and juicy, with a unique sour taste that lingers in your mouth.
"Scythe, what is this? It tastes delicious."
"Let's call it Strawberry. You guys eat your fill first, and then we'll take all of this home."
Qiao Xiaomeng and Qiao Zhizhi sat on the ground, eating one bite at a time, their eyes sparkling. They felt so happy.
Everyone ate two jin (1 kg) until they couldn't eat anymore.
They then looked at the tomato: "Sickle, what's this again?"
