Chapter 221 Morels

Moreover, when they were looking for husbands for their daughters, they always picked those with good conditions but not good character. After the genes were mixed, the children might inherit the evil of both sides.

If they knew what Huo Beixi did and that she was rich, they would flock to her and ask her to help them support them!

Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo's daughter is of the same generation as his father, so Huo Beixi has to call her aunt. Then the aunt's children are of the same generation as him and are his brothers and sisters, just cousins, all relatives. Once he gets entangled in this issue, it's really hard to deal with it.

After all, my home is here and my work is here. It is impossible for me to abandon all this and hide away just because of them, right?

So the best way is not to let them know.

After listening to this, Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo nodded. They turned around and left without saying anything. What could they say? Huo Beixi had already sold everything to Hua Xiali, an outsider, and there was no reason for them to take it back.

Moreover, they have to pay ten times the compensation if they want to return the money. How can they afford that?

It was a long time after Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo left before Hua Xiali went to her fourth uncle's house, because she didn't want to meet Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo halfway, as they were not Huo Beixi's direct relatives.

Hua Xiali went to the bamboo forest on the mountain to look for his fourth uncle and aunt. When he arrived at the place where they were breaking bamboo shoots, he found a flat place to sit down, but he caught a glimpse of some familiar wild mushrooms at his feet.

Hua Xiali was so surprised that he quickly picked one to study it. The surface of this mushroom was uneven, like a sheep's stomach, so it was definitely a morel.

The morel is a world-renowned rare edible and medicinal mushroom that has many benefits to the human body. Hua Xiali had never thought that their Guizhen City also has morels and bamboo fungi, two very famous wild mushrooms. It's just that the people here are not so keen on mushrooms, so no one pays attention to and understands these.

However, it may be because information was not circulated in that era, and people did not know that these mushrooms were edible. It was not until the information explosion in the future that everyone knew about it and people started eating these things!

In short, some things that were very popular in the previous life are not eaten by many people now, for example, fish. There are fish wherever there is water in the countryside, so many that you can just use a ladle to scoop the fish. However, Hua Xiali rarely sees people going out to catch fish to eat.

There are also things like snails and small land snails. In the past, only children would pick them up for fun. When adults were working in the rice fields, the big land snails were visible to the naked eye and could be picked up at will, but I never saw anyone picking land snails to take home to eat.

There are obviously a lot of people in the village, but no one is doing anything.

Hua Xiali was so happy when he found the morels that he took out a black knife the size of a pencil from the space and picked a few morels at his feet.

Then I took the basket and went to other places to look for morels.

Things that she couldn't afford to eat in her previous life are now everywhere, so she naturally can't let herself miss them. She picked morels in April and bamboo fungi in June.

However, her belly should have grown bigger by then, and if it was inconvenient to pick bamboo fungus, she might have to miss this year's bamboo fungus.

Hua Xiali knew that if she stayed at her fourth uncle's house for too long, Huo Beixi's guy might come to pick her up on a motorcycle, and she also had to review herself, so she would stay at her fourth uncle's house for one night every time and go back at noon the next day because she had to pick morels in the morning. After returning home, she would stay there for one night and go back the next morning so that she could pick morels again.

Morels have high nutritional value and are also valuable, but the picking period is not long. They can only be picked in April and May every spring, so she wanted to take advantage of this time to pick more morels, otherwise she would have to wait until autumn. She definitely won't be able to pick them this autumn.

If there wasn't Huo Beixi at home, she would have wanted to live in her fourth uncle's house until there were no morels left. But now she is no longer alone, so she still has to care about the other person's feelings.

As for her family, she is no longer short of money, and she has so many employees helping her make money. Her focus now is on her family.

That afternoon, Hua Xiali went to the bamboo forest in Hewan, took the bamboo shoots that Lu Xiaozhi had placed at the agreed place, put the money down, and then went to pick a basket of the freshest bamboo shoots and carried them back.

Huo Beixi saw Hua Xiali coming back, took the basket from her, and asked curiously, "Are you picking bamboo shoots to feed the pigs?"

Hua Xiali was a little surprised, "Don't you know that bamboo shoots are edible?"

"Can bamboo shoots be eaten?" Huo Beixi shook his head, "I've never eaten them."

"Not only are bamboo shoots edible, they taste good!" Hua Xiali said with a smile. Anyway, she really liked eating bamboo shoots. It was just that in her previous life, she didn't know that bamboo shoots were edible until more than ten years later when she went to the city to accompany her children to school and work part-time. She learned several ways to cook bamboo shoots, and later went to the river bay to pick bamboo shoots herself in the spring.

After all, bamboo shoots are quite expensive, and she really couldn't bear to spend money to buy them!

In her previous life, she never spent a penny on eating fish, eels, and snails. She caught them all by herself when she returned to the village. They were obviously available in the village for free, so why waste money to buy them?

Moreover, she is a good cook. Both children really like the food she cooked in her previous life.

Hua Xiali sat in the yard, cut the bamboo shoots with a knife, then rolled them up in his hands, and quickly peeled out the fresh bamboo shoots.

"Wife, you go and have a rest, I'll peel it. You can teach me how to do it later." Huo Beixi walked over, squatted in front of Hua Xiali, reached out and took a bamboo shoot, and started peeling it leaf by leaf.

Hua Xiali was a little amused. "It's not the way you peel it. If you peel it the way you peel it, you won't be able to finish peeling a whole basket by tomorrow morning."

"Just watch carefully and do it like me." Hua Xiali taught Huo Beixi a lesson and then handed the knife to him. Huo Beixi did as Hua Xiali taught him. As a result, with one cut, half of the flesh of the bamboo shoots was cut off, which made it more difficult to peel off the shell.

Huo Beixi felt helpless, put down the knife, and said, "I'll just use the dumbest way. I just need to be faster."

If Huo Beixi had to peel the entire basket, they probably wouldn't be able to eat tonight, so Hua Xiali didn't take a rest, and the two of them peeled the juice together.

Soon, all the bamboo shoots in the basket were peeled, and only about one third of the bamboo shoots were left.

"Let's go, take the bamboo shoots to the kitchen, I'll teach you how to blanch them." Hua Xiali said as he stood up. Suddenly, he felt dizzy. Huo Beixi quickly reached out to support Hua Xiali and asked worriedly, "Wife, what's wrong with you?"
