Chapter 59 A Rich Harvest
Just when she was having fun picking mushrooms, Shang Ruoting suddenly heard some movement in the weeds nearby.
She immediately stopped picking mushrooms and took out a handful of sharp thorns from the space. These were the ones she had bought in her previous life for self-defense.
Shang Ruoting held the spike tightly and walked cautiously towards the source of the sound.
She saw a pheasant looking for a place to lay eggs there. Relying on her strength, she threw the sharp thorn in her hand and it hit the pheasant's wing.
The pheasant struggled desperately and tried to hold the egg back, but the spikes had already been embedded in the soil, and its struggle was obviously useless.
Shang Ruoting licked her lips and said, "Haha, God has been very kind to me. As soon as I got the hazel mushroom, he gave me a pheasant to go with it."
She muttered to herself, walked slowly to the pheasant, grabbed the pheasant's wings and pulled out the sharp thorns.
Living things cannot be allowed in the space, and Shang Ruoting didn't want to eat stale pheasant, so she pulled out some vines to tie up the pheasant, picked it up in her hand and continued walking into the mountain.
After walking a few meters, the front suddenly opened up to a relatively flat grassland with a clear stream in the middle.
Shang Ruoting walked towards the stream.
I have to say, she really found a good place this time.
Not only can you see fish in the stream, but there are also water celery that have just sprouted a little bit next to it.
Fish can be used to make fish soup, braised, or stewed in soy sauce. Just thinking about it makes it delicious.
There is also water celery, which is mixed with pork to make filling, and is the most delicious when used to make dumplings.
Shang Ruoting thought of this and swallowed her saliva in a cowardly manner.
At this time, her spiritual spring water also came in handy. The water celery that was watered with the spiritual spring water quickly grew to 20 centimeters high. The water celery at this height was the most tender and just right.
Shang Ruoting took out a sharp sickle from the space and cut at least ten pounds of water celery before stopping. She put some of it into the space for storage and piled the rest on top of the backpack.
After digging up enough water celery, Shang Ruoting prepared to catch fish.
She took out a special fishing net from the space and scooped up a small fish that had just swam over.
Maybe it was because of the large gaps in the net bag, the small fish that was just caught escaped quickly, and this was the reason why I failed several times.
Shang Ruoting rolled her eyes, placed the net bag flatly in the water, and when a fish swam over, she quickly pumped the spiritual spring water into the water.
The fish were quickly attracted by the smell of the spiritual spring water and gathered towards the net bag. Soon, the small fish in the net bag grew rapidly until all the spiritual spring water was absorbed.
Inside the net, two carp, originally smaller than crucian carp, had grown to about four pounds. A finger-sized crucian carp had also grown to one pound. In addition, there were two whitefish weighing more than half a pound.
Shang Ruoting knew that the space could not store living things, and she was not greedy. With these, it was enough for her family to have several delicious meals.
She brought the net bag ashore, looked at the full backpack, and had to put some of the hazel mushrooms back into the space.
Shang Ruoting left half of the backpack empty and put the fish at the bottom, followed by the not-so-fat pheasant, hazel mushrooms and water celery on the top of the backpack.
Having gained so much, she was already satisfied and prepared to return the same way.
Just as she walked out of the pine forest along the path she had come from, she noticed a few small leaves standing out in an inconspicuous place on the side of the road.
Judging from the shape of the leaves, they look a bit like ginseng.
Shang Ruoting walked over and took a closer look. They were indeed two ginseng plants. However, judging by the few leaves, it seemed that the ginseng had only a growth period of one or two years at most.
She dropped a few drops of spiritual spring water on it without hesitation. The ginseng leaves grew taller and bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then sprouted new leaves.
Shang Ruoting supplied spiritual spring water there for almost ten minutes before the ginseng stopped growing.
She took out the smallest shovel from the space and carefully pulled out the ginseng by the roots.
The roots of ginseng are about 30 centimeters long, and the thickest part is at least one meter in diameter. Based on her experience, these two ginseng plants are at least two hundred years old in their current state.
Shang Ruoting looked at the two plump white ginsengs and felt as if she had won the jackpot in the lottery.
"Hahaha... This trip wasn't in vain. I even got you two babies."
Ginseng is a good thing no matter what era. Shang Ruoting didn't dare to just put it in a backpack and carry it back. She had to put it in the space.
Not to mention ginseng, even the fish and pheasants in her backpack, if she met someone looking for trouble, she would say that they were collective property and good things should be shared equally among everyone.
In order to eat them fresh, she did not kill the pheasants and fish immediately, but put them in the backpack. She also deliberately left the water celery and hazel mushrooms outside. After all, many people saw her going into the mountains, and it was unrealistic for her to come out empty-handed, so she just used it as a decoy.
It would be fine if no one provokes her, but if someone really provokes her, she doesn't mind turning him over to the authorities, and she won't let the provoker have an easy time either.
With a plan in mind, Shang Ruoting carried the basket on her back and hummed a song all the way to the foot of the mountain.
