The two harvested half a basket of morels, which was considered a considerable harvest, but in Zheng Gan's eyes, it looked just average. The only thing that made him happy was its efficacy, so he said to Jiang Feng,
"Don't sell these morels. Process them when you get back and take them away."
Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment. He didn't quite understand why. Although selling these morels for more than ten thousand yuan was definitely not as much as the profit from the next net, a mosquito is still meat after all.
"Ahem, it's quite effective. A friend of mine has been wanting it for a long time." Zheng Gan explained with a blush when he saw that no one understood what he meant.
"Oh~" Jiang Feng suddenly realized, and a word suddenly popped up in his mind.
'Out of nothing!'
Then he laughed strangely twice, "Okay, brother, don't worry, I will keep it a secret. When we get home, I will ask my dad if there are any other good things in the mountains that have the same effect."
Zheng Gan felt embarrassed when he heard this. He thought that even if he explained, the situation would only get worse, so he simply said nothing and continued to look at the map while walking towards the mountains.
The mountain they entered was the mountain that Jiang Feng and his fellow villagers had guarded for generations. It was precisely by driving the mountain that they had been able to feed generations of villagers. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, the mountain drivers would not kill all the villagers and take away everything.
The two of them did the same. Along the way, apart from picking up some mushrooms to eat in the evening, they also picked up some morels, and planned to leave the rest for those who would come later.
"Take a break and eat something, brother." Jiang Feng looked at the time and found that it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning. He had been walking for the whole morning and needed to recover his strength.
Zheng Gan nodded. He had eaten little in the morning and was a little hungry. He took the pancake handed to him by Jiang Feng, took a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hey, big pancakes, delicious, where did you get them?"
"My mother heard yesterday that we were going to the mountains, so she made this in the morning because she was worried that you, her nephew, wouldn't be able to get used to the ordinary dry food." Jiang Feng said truthfully.
After working with him for such a long time, he knew very well that Zheng Gan was usually very picky about food.
"I'm so embarrassed." Zheng Gan said this, but his eating speed did not slow down at all. He stopped only after eating three large pancakes with satisfaction. This was without any side dishes. If he had some braised meat or something, he would probably eat more.
"I took ten pancakes, eat more." Jiang Feng had a smaller appetite and was full after eating only two pancakes.
After eating and drinking, the two rested for a while and then continued to walk deeper into the mountains. At this time, a large red dot appeared on Zheng Gan's map again.
"Come on, let's go over there." Zheng Gan urged. Although the size and number of these red dots might be about the size of a bluefin tuna, this was after all mountain climbing, which was not his strong point, so the novelty was still sufficient.
Jiang Feng did not dare to delay and quickened his pace to follow him. The child was also simple-minded. No matter whether he went to the sea or to the mountains, as long as he followed Zheng Gan's instructions, he would definitely reap great rewards.
Sure enough, when he got there, he screamed.
"Bamboo fungus, these are bamboo fungus! So many bamboo fungus!"
Dictamnus, also known as bamboo fungus and bamboo ginseng, is a cryptogamic fungus that parasitizes on the roots of dead bamboo. Its shape is slightly similar to a netted dry white snake skin. It has a dark green cap, a snow-white cylindrical stipe, and a pink egg-shaped stipe. At the top of the stipe, there is a delicate white net-like skirt that spreads from the cap downwards. It is called the "Snow Skirt Fairy", "Mountain Treasure Flower", "Fungus Flower", and "Queen of Fungi".
Its fruiting body is crisp, tender, refreshing, sweet and delicious with a unique flavor. As a dish, it is the best among all fungi, and can be said to be a unique color, fragrance and taste. It is a famous wild delicacy at banquets. Bamboo fungus also has high medicinal value. Its fruiting body contains a variety of enzymes and high-molecular polysaccharides. Its polysaccharides are heteropolysaccharides, which can enhance the body's resistance to tumor cells and have good anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects.
In short, bamboo fungus is a precious fungus.
"This is the first time I've seen bamboo fungus in the wild. How much can it sell for?" Zheng Gan asked curiously. If there were no special effects, he would only care about the price, even if he had a rough idea of the price from the map.
Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, "It's not easy to find bamboo fungus in this season. It can be sold for around 400 yuan at the town's trading center."
The normal price of bamboo fungus is actually not that high, but because of the temperature problem in this season, it is very difficult to find bamboo fungus. Scarcity makes things valuable, so the price of wild bamboo fungus will naturally be a little higher.
"Well, not bad, not bad." Zheng Gan put on a smile on his face. In the area in front of him, there were about 180 kilograms of bamboo fungus, which was worth 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
The morels had to be kept for "friends" because of their "special effects", so these bamboo fungi can be sold to make some money to supplement the family income.
The money they spent on plane tickets, travel expenses, etc. when they came here from home, plus the gifts they brought back, would be about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. So, if these bamboo fungi are sold, it will just make up for the expenses.
"Come on, start picking it up. Hurry up and finish it so you can get down the mountain before dark."
After Zheng Gan finished speaking, he squatted on the ground and prepared to start picking. Seeing this, Jiang Feng hurried forward to stop him and said,
"Brother, first look at how I picked them. These bamboo fungi are quite fragile. If they were a little broken, the price wouldn't be that high."
Zheng Gan nodded. He was still very humble about this. After all, this was not his major. He followed Jiang Feng obediently and learned carefully.
Because there were quite a lot of bamboo fungi, it took the two of them nearly three hours to pick up most of them, leaving only a small part for further reproduction.
"Okay, mission accomplished, let's go down the mountain and go home." The baskets on the two men's backs were full, so Zheng Gan waved his hand and gave the order to retreat.
Although Jiang Feng felt a little reluctant, he still followed behind obediently. After all, there were dangers on the Heitian Mountain. Don't forget, Jiang Fusheng told him that as long as Zheng Gan had even the slightest problem, he would stay on the mountain on his own initiative.
The two returned along the same route and it took them almost three hours to get back to the village. By the time they got home, it was already dark.
"You are finally back. If you were any later, your father would probably have asked people to go up the mountain to look for you two." Jiang Feng's mother was relieved to see them come back.
