Chapter 55 Wild Mushrooms (1/2)



The bayberries in the Taoyuan woods have ripened these days. They are sweet and sour and delicious. Xia Shige climbed up the tree and ate several in one go. Then she put the bayberries on the shelves in the store.

After putting the product on the shelves, she casually checked the store status and found that there were several new reviews on the store:

"User xxx: I was recommended by a friend. The quality of this store is really good. Can you please stop using drones to deliver the goods? My bodyguard thought it was a bomb dropped from the air and almost started snatching it."

"User xxx: This fish is really delicious, the meat is fresh and tender, and it feels very natural, unlike those that are farmed indoors with all the technology."

"User xxx: This pork is so delicious! It's different from the pork on the street. It doesn't have any fishy smell. It's delicious when you cook it. I was just about to buy it, but it's out of stock?"

What surprised Xia Shige the most was the honey. Several customers bought dozens of cans of it. Xia Shige considered the production volume and decided to take the honey off the shelves first.

Xia Shige picked up the tools and went to the Taoyuan woods to dig up the beehive.

The golden and sticky honey dripped down the cracks and onto the ground. When Xia Shige looked down, he noticed that there were many yellow mushrooms under the tree.

"Is this... chanterelles?" Xia Shige climbed down the tree in confusion and squatted under it to check. "Is it something new that has grown in the past few days? There was clearly no growth before."

Xia Shige hurriedly looked around under the trees and found that many kinds of mushrooms were growing under the trees, some big, some small, and in different shapes and colors.

"Too late, we have mushrooms to eat!" Xia Shige didn't care about the honey anymore, and excitedly rolled up her sleeves to pick mushrooms. Although she bought a lot of old mushrooms when she was stockpiling before the disaster, how could old mushrooms compare to fresh ones?

Xia Shige was afraid of picking poisonous mushrooms, so she used the image recognition software on her mobile phone while picking them. She picked a lot of porcini, matsutake, morels, chicken mushrooms, and green onion... When she was tired, she looked up and found that the picked mushrooms had piled up into a small hill.

There were too many of them, so she planned to keep some for her family to eat, and put the rest on the shelves in the store.

Because there were so many varieties, Xia Shige was too lazy to classify them one by one and put them on the shelves, so he directly made a wild mushroom combination with various varieties, packaged them into boxes, and priced them directly at 80,000 per piece.

These mushrooms are not easy to grow artificially indoors, especially Matsutake, which are very valuable even before the natural disaster!

As soon as the mushrooms were put on the shelves, 10 were sold immediately. The order was placed by the same ID, and 800,000 was instantly deposited into the account. Xia Shige asked Baimao to ship the goods quickly, and she climbed a tree and found two honeycombs, which she took to the processing workshop to process into honey.

After sending the store order, Xia Shige looked at the community group chat and found that the community group was very lively early in the morning:

"6-501 Su Su: What happened in Building 6 last night? There was crying and making a fuss. Could it be that there was another break-in?"

"6-702 Bai Yueguang: I know it's my neighbor across the street who's arguing. The neighbor uncle took him and his wife to the supermarket to buy supplies, but he only bought cigarettes and alcohol. When his wife found out, she had a big fight with him and wanted to divorce him. This morning, his wife took the children back to her parents' home."

"4-1209 is slacking off: This is outrageous! Buying cigarettes and alcohol at this time? Won't you starve to death?"

"6-702 Bai Yueguang: I guess there is still some food in the house. Anyway, the two of them had a fierce quarrel yesterday, and it sounded like they even got physical."

"2-1908 Coconut Tree: Now that he has no food to eat, he is still doing this. This uncle is really generous."

"6-501 Su Su: Many people are like this. When they are addicted to cigarettes and alcohol, they don't even care about eating."

"4-1209 is slacking off: If he doesn't want to eat, then don't eat. Why should he let his wife and kids starve together? He even used his wife's credit limit to buy cigarettes and alcohol. How selfish!"

“…”

Xia Shige thought of the man who bought cigarettes and alcohol yesterday and shook his head. It was really a case of one person enjoying the food while the whole family was starving.

It will be difficult for such a selfish person to survive the later period of the natural disaster. I hope he will not bring unrest to the community.

Xia Shige was scrolling through group messages when a private message suddenly popped up. He clicked on it and saw that it was from Tang Shiqi:

"Shi Ge, a friend in Community D06 is having a party today. Would you like to come with me?"

Before Xia Shige could reply, another call came in. It was from Shen Zehuai. Xia Shige thought about it and answered it.

"Hello?"
