When they came, Zhou Yujiao and Wan Qingliu each carried a basket, and when they left, both baskets were full.
In addition, a lot of it was scooped up with leaves and carefully collected in the palms of Hua Wanchi and Xiao Youzi's hands.
When I was going up the mountain, few people saw me. But when I came down, I met quite a few people on the way.
Everyone who met the four people who saw them returning with a full load couldn't help but ask a few questions.
"Are you guys coming back from picking mushrooms in the mountains?"
"I picked up so many mushrooms!"
"I'll go to the mountain this afternoon too."
"There are a lot of mushrooms on the mountain, right?"
After asking and answering questions along the way, Zhou Yujiao got home and washed the mushrooms in a basin. She then prepared a mushroom soup on the table for lunch.
A few grains of rice are put in it. It is said that if the mushrooms are poisonous, the rice will turn black.
But no one has ever really verified whether this is true or not. Every year, there are a few people who die from eating wild mushrooms.
Wild mushrooms, no matter whether they are poisonous or not, taste so delicious.
Hua Wanchi drank several bowls of soup and still felt a little unsatisfied.
"Mom, why don't you go pick it up tomorrow?"
Zhou Yujiao laughed: "There's no chance of finding anything tomorrow, it's already been picked up by others!"
Wan Qingliu also laughed and said, "We picked up so much. Everyone saw it when we got back. I'm sure the whole mountain will be trampled bare by this afternoon. There's even no mushrooms left. I think there's no grass left."
They took advantage of this opportunity. After all, it had been raining these days, and the rain only stopped a little today.
Men would never go mushroom picking, and women usually have endless housework to do in the morning, so how could they have the energy to think about mushrooms in the mountains?
If you want to pick it, go in the afternoon.
This is why Hua Wanchi and the others picked up so much.
The mushrooms outside could not be grabbed, but Hua Wanchi suddenly had an idea: isn’t there a mountain in the space?
The things grown in the space do taste much better than those outside, but the things that can be mass-produced are always a little different from the purely wild ones outside.
I don’t know if the mushrooms grown naturally in the space are as delicious as those outside.
The mountains and planting areas in the space are two different spaces. The planting area has no seasons and can be harvested all the time, but the mountains seem to have a complete ecosystem, and the temperature and climate follow certain rules.
After dinner, Hua Wanchi went to take a look at the space.
All poisonous mushrooms in the space are marked, so she is not worried about picking up poisonous mushrooms that she doesn't recognize.
She picked up a basket and gave it to Wan Qingliu.
"Grandma, this is from the space. Try cooking it and see if it tastes good."
Wan Qingliu looked at the basket of mushrooms and asked, "Is there such a good thing in this space?"
She thought that only planting could be done in the space.
In the afternoon, many people were walking towards the mountains carrying a basket or a bamboo basket on their backs.
In the evening, there is a mushroom head on the table of every household.
“Fresh, so fresh!”
"Mushrooms are still the most delicious."
"Mushrooms at this time of year are nothing special. I think the best ones are the frozen mushrooms in winter."
…
The mushroom head dish at Lao Hua's house at noon had been eaten up, and the remaining mushrooms could be cooked for another meal, but Wan Qingliu replaced them with mushrooms from the space.
She was also very curious about how the wild mushrooms in the space tasted.
I didn’t expect that when the soup was cooked, its fresh and fragrant aroma could be smelled all over the house, and it looked very appetizing when it was served on the table.
Wan Qingliu filled a bowl of soup and took a sip directly from the bowl. He finally knew what the legendary feeling of having eyebrows fall off was.
"The mushroom soup in the evening is even more delicious than the one at noon."
Hua Xuguo took a sip and gave an amazing review.
Wan Qingliu and Hua Wanchi looked at each other, then turned around and smiled happily.
"I suddenly remembered that I found a place last year where no one had seen mushrooms. I'm going to go check it out tomorrow. I might even pick up a lot."
Hua Xuguo drank the mushroom soup, mouthful after mouthful, unable to stop.
"Mom, I wish we could have a few more meals. These mushrooms are really fresh."
As for mushrooms, there are naturally a lot of them.
However, Wan Qingliu always had to find an excuse to take out the mushrooms. Judging from the current situation, there was no shortage of mushrooms.
The time flow rate in the mountainous area in the space is about 365:1 compared to the outside world, which means that wild mushrooms can be produced in the space every day.
In addition to eating at home, she can also take some to the city, and the rest can be dried and stored for later consumption.
As we all know, wild mushrooms are easy to cause poisoning. Many poisonous and non-poisonous ones look very similar, so people can easily pick them by mistake and take them home.
Although Jiangxi Province is not as well-known as Yunnan Province for eating wild mushrooms, many people die from mushroom poisoning every year.
You can always hear a few of them in the surrounding area.
Today, most of the families in the village went up the mountain, and they all had some gains. Not long after nightfall, the village became lively.
"Yeah! The Hongshan family ate poisonous mushrooms and are foaming at the mouth!"
"Hurry, hurry, send him to the commune clinic!"
"Listen to me, drink the mung bean water!"
Some lent a hand, some shouted, and some offered suggestions.
Soon, other victims of poisonous mushrooms appeared in the crowd.
The victim burst into tears and cried out to the air: "Chunfang - Chunfang! Did you come here just to find me? Let's elope, okay?"
The victim's daughter-in-law originally wanted to take him home, but now she stopped with a gloomy face and stared at him.
For a moment, everyone didn't know whether they should watch the fun or take the man to the clinic together.
Another victim in the crowd said, "Why is the sun so bright tonight?"
Well, I knew it was poisoned by mushrooms just by listening to it.
The team leader quickly arrived and asked, "Is there anyone among you who didn't eat mushrooms today?"
Many aunts, young wives and girls stood up.
"As soon as the dishes were served, the men drank up all the soup, and we didn't get a chance to drink it."
The captain has a headache.
He could only give orders: "Women who haven't eaten mushrooms, please check if anyone in your family is poisoned. Do you think they are sleepy, foaming at the mouth, or having hallucinations? If you think anything is wrong, send them to the community health center immediately!"
"If the situation is still good, go directly to the county!"
The county town is too far away, so in critical situations, one can only go to the nearest commune.
Someone asked, "There are too many people and the situation is critical. What should we do?"
The captain turned his head, looked at the dark night, and sighed.
"Call the barefoot doctor, Lao Xu!"
Soon, the village barefoot doctor rushed over and checked everyone's condition.
He pointed at the family and said, "Give them bush charcoal!"
Lao Xu looked up again and said seriously, "If anyone among you feels uncomfortable but can still stand, drink plenty of salt water immediately, then dig your throat and spit out everything you've eaten!
"Someone make some mung bean soup! Give it to these! Send the rest to the health center!"
Soon everyone started to work together and divided the work among themselves. Old Huatou and his family also joined in the busy work.
This is destined to be a sleepless night.
