She couldn't help but nod, feeling a surge of strength as she stood with the Qiao family.
After disciplining the two Song brothers like dogs, the Qiao family went up the mountain in a large group.
Qiao Lian'er secretly glanced at Qiao Xi'er. Qiao Xi'er always stayed at home, but she had long legs and a very nimble body. She could jump over a ditch and climb over a ridge with ease.
She could have stayed home, but after hearing about those things, she wanted to see what termite mushrooms looked like.
It seems that the Qiao family has a certain genetic predisposition to physical fitness.
Qiao Lian'er looked at her thin arms and legs again. Sigh, so what if she has genetics? She was fed up with her next meal in the Song family and was raised to be thin and small by them.
A wider ditch appeared ahead, which Qiao Lian'er couldn't cross, so she stood there hesitating.
"Don't worry, Lian'er, I'll help you."
Qiao Xi'er hopped over easily with her long legs, then grabbed Qiao Lian'er under her waist and leaped to the other side.
Qiao Lian'er was stunned to find herself on the other side before she could even react, but the other members of the Qiao family seemed completely unfazed.
So what? When Qiao Xier doesn't have any work to do, she's also quite adept at going down to the mountains and doing chores and hunting.
Qiao Lian'er was incredibly envious. She was too small and thin. She wanted to earn more money, eat more meat, and grow taller and bigger.
Upon reaching the mountain, a dazzling array of mushrooms came into view, and the Qiao family all turned to look at Qiao Lian'er.
Actually, compared to other mushrooms, termite mushrooms are relatively rare because they grow on termite mounds; termite mushrooms only grow where there are termite mounds.
"It's not here, let's look again," Qiao Lian'er said, heading towards the place where he had found the termite mushrooms yesterday, hoping there might be some there.
Qiao Xi'er stood next to Qiao Lian'er. Qiao Lian'er hadn't lied to her; the squeezed-out stuff really had been exchanged for oil and salt.
Now she felt a touch of admiration for Qiao Lian'er.
Moreover, she was a little proud, as she was the first person in the family, besides Qiao Lian'er, to taste what termite mushrooms were like.
Qiao Zhizhi followed Qiao Lian'er, feeling that although Qiao Lian'er was young, she had more ideas than others.
She's more like an older sister than her.
When we arrived at the same spot as yesterday, we found two more open termite mushrooms and two buds, which were also large black termite mushrooms.
"Found it! Found it! Everyone come and see!" Qiao Zhizhi shouted, and the Qiao family members all gathered around.
Song Lian'er pulled out two large ones and said, "Everyone, look carefully. This is the termite mushroom. This one is black, there are also white ones, and there are also small termite mushroom flowers. The shape of the cap is like this. The stem can be torn into strips, it is quite soft."
As she spoke, she tore the rod apart, revealing strands and thread-like strands intertwined and connected together.
"Then everyone can smell the aroma. Unlike other mushrooms, the termite mushroom has a fragrance even before it's put in the pot, while other mushrooms almost never do."
The Qiao family members passed it around, smelling the rich aroma that made their mouths water.
Actually, everyone has seen and smelled this kind of termite mushroom before, but now that we are getting to know it again, the feeling is different.
This is a mountain delicacy that can be eaten and exchanged for a lot of money.
After everyone had gotten to know each other, they scattered to search for what they found. They brought the items to Qiao Lian'er for her inspection before putting them in their baskets and hampers.
