Chapter 10099: Deliberately Looking for Trouble
Poisonous red mushroom: Poisonous red mushroom is also known as vomiting mushroom, coffin lid, little red face mushroom, etc. It looks similar to red mushroom.
The cap of the poisonous red mushroom is flat hemispherical, which becomes flat later and concave when old. It is sticky, smooth, light pink to coral red, with lighter edges. It has ridges and the epidermis is easy to peel off.
The flesh is thin, white, red near the epidermis, and bitter. The stipe is cylindrical, white or pink, and hollow.
Accidentally ingesting poisonous red mushrooms can cause gastroenteritis, and in severe cases, it can cause facial muscle convulsions, heart failure, or blood circulation failure, leading to death.
It is what we often call red umbrellas and white poles. Eat them and lie down on the board together!
People here never picked red mushrooms to eat. It was only later when dealers from coastal areas came to buy them that people started picking them.
In the previous life, when we went into the mountains to pick up precious mushrooms such as red mushrooms, they were taken away by dealers before we even got down the mountain, and the price was not cheap.
These days, red mushrooms rot in the woods and no one picks them up.
Just as Yang Chunyan was about to put the red mushrooms into the basket, Zhao Huifang shouted, "Chunyan, we have never picked this kind of red mushroom before. Look at how bright red it is. It is probably poisonous and cannot be eaten."
"Sister-in-law, this is called red mushroom. I have seen it in medical books."
"We've never picked them up to eat." Zhao Huifang pointed at the red mushrooms among the dead leaves, "You see, they're everywhere, but no one picks them up."
Yang Chunyan pointed at the red mushrooms in her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, some red mushrooms are poisonous, but this one is not. I heard that in some places, women buy some to stew after giving birth to replenish their bodies. Let's pick some back and send Ning An to see Doctor Wang tomorrow."
Zhao Huifang had no choice but to nod when she heard her say that. "Okay, pick up everything nearby and take it back."
Yang Chunyan handed her the red mushrooms and said, "Pick them the way I picked them."
Zhao Huifang took it and looked at it. "As usual, don't eat anything you haven't tried before or understood clearly. Eating it blindly can cost you your life."
Yang Chunyan plucked one and said with a smile, "If there are any that are not cooked yet, eat them and see me!"
"That's the green mushroom. If it's not cooked properly, you will see little people. Some people even died of poisoning if they ate too much." Zhao Huifang thought of something and found it funny. "Huairong said that when he was twelve or thirteen years old, he took his second and third sons to the mountains to pick mushrooms. When they were hungry, they would roast the mushrooms and eat them.
The second brother was quick, and he had eaten several mushrooms before he and the third brother started eating. Maybe there were some undercooked mushrooms in them, because the second brother stopped walking after the three brothers had finished eating.
They said there were nine bowls of food in the woods, and they insisted on dragging him and the third child to eat the braised pork, which scared them half to death, and they thought they had encountered something dirty. They went back to call the old man, and then they took the second child home and sent him to the clinic to get medicine.
After hearing this, Yang Chunyan thought of those who saw the little man in the short video and also found it funny. However, she didn't step firmly and fell on her butt with a cry of "Ouch!", and the mushrooms in the basket on her back were scattered everywhere.
“Hahaha!” Zhao Huifang laughed so hard that she couldn’t straighten her back. She reached out and pulled her up, “Why don’t you be more careful!”
Yang Chunyan patted the dead leaves on her butt and said, "It slipped a bit."
The two picked up the mushrooms and continued to search in the dry grass with the crowbars. When they pushed aside a bulge of dry grass, a cute little flower appeared in front of Yang Chunyan. "Morel!"
She took a step forward, forgetting to take a picture of the mushroom cap, and grabbed the stem and pulled it up, not even paying attention to the ones next to it. She happily held it up and said to Zhao Huifang behind her, "Haha, I picked up a morel."
"Look around to see if there are any more?"
"Yes, there are several more next to it!"
"What good luck! Qiuyue and Xiuxiang also passed by here, and they didn't see it."
The two of them happily picked up the other flowers and carefully searched through the dead leaves.
The nutritional value of morels is extremely high. It is not only a delicacy at banquets, but also a well-known food tonic. There is a saying among the people that "if you eat morels every year, you can still walk around the mountains at the age of eighty."
Zhao Huifang picked up a few more mushrooms after digging for a long time. "That's it. It's good to be able to pick up a few in the past two days. I can sell them for ten yuan at the purchasing station."
"Huifang, what good mushrooms did you pick up? Can you sell a few of them for ten yuan?"
Yang Chunyan looked up and found that it was the two women who had been picking mushrooms with Li Hongying. They had come here again without her knowing when.
"Qiaozhen, it's you!" Zhao Huifang smiled faintly, "Chunyan is lucky, she picked up some morels!"
"You guys are so lucky. Lin Hui and I ran around and only picked up a few chicken mushrooms." Liu Qiaozhen said, looking at the baskets of the two people, "Hey, how come you picked up so many poisonous mushrooms? Don't pick them up if you don't know how to recognize them. If you eat them, something bad will happen."
Lin Hui also leaned over to take a look, then raised her head and glanced at Yang Chunyan, "Qiaozhen, some people are very capable. They can even tell that my cow has bezoar in its stomach. Maybe these red mushrooms are really good stuff."
Yang Chunyan now remembered who she was. She was the third daughter-in-law of the Xiong family. She sneered, "I can't read the cow's stomach, but I can see that you have a rotten heart in your stomach."
"You are the one with a broken heart!" Lin Hui was so angry that her face turned blue. "Don't you admit it? It was you who noticed that my cow had bezoars, and you deliberately asked Zhou Laoyao to chase my cow!"
Zhao Huifang was so angry that she yelled, "Bullshit! You are a shameless family. You owed me 450 yuan for a diseased cow and you are not satisfied. You even spread rumors everywhere that there was bezoar in the stomach of the diseased cow."
"Bullshit!" Lin Hui rushed to Yang Chunyan and pointed at her nose, "It's you. You are a barefoot doctor. Only you can tell what a cow with bezoar looks like.
Besides, everyone in the Zhou family's second branch knows that how can such a poor family get the money to burn kilns and build brick houses? I dare say they didn't take the bezoar from my family!"
Yang Chunyan raised her hand and pinched her wrist. She exerted force on her hand and pinched the tendons on her wrist. She pushed her out with a palm and said, "If you dare to point and poke again, I will not be polite to you!"
Lin Hui was pushed back a few steps by her and fell to the ground, with the mushrooms in the basket scattered all over the ground. "Shameless slut, you blamed my bezoar and you still refuse to admit it!"
"You shameless bitch, you're crazy about money..." Zhao Huifang also came up with her sleeves rolled up.
"Forget it, we are all from the same team, so stop arguing!" Liu Qiaozhen hurriedly stepped forward to help Lin Hui, who had fallen to the ground, and helped her pick up the mushrooms scattered on the ground.
As they were arguing loudly, Li Qiuyue ran over in panic, "Chunyan, help me!" She stepped forward, grabbed him and ran away.
Yang Chunyan was startled. "What happened? Where's my second sister-in-law?"
"Sister-in-law is fine. We met Li Hongying and her friends up ahead. We were just about to come back to look for you when Li Hongying's relative was bitten by a bamboo shoot."
Yang Chunyan was shocked, "Are you sure it's a bamboo shoot spot?"
The scientific name of the snakehead is Agkistrodon acutus. It is named because its skin color is very similar to that of the snakehead. The snakehead has a triangular head and is aggressive. It will not leave if frightened, but will attack the person or animal that frightens it.
