Chapter 17 Going up the mountain to pick mushrooms

The next morning, when Tong Xiayue got up, she found that Ji Jiashu had gotten up at some point. Last night, they actually...

Recalling the scenes of last night, she felt her face burning like fire!

Thinking of the promise she made to Xiaoni yesterday to take her up the mountain to pick mushrooms today, she also got up quickly.

Her feet felt sore as soon as she landed, and Tong Xiayue quickly held onto the edge of the bed to prevent herself from falling.

This Ji Jiashu is a devil!

As I walked out of the yard, I saw Xiao Ni had gotten up early. When she saw Tong Xiayue, a big smile appeared on her little face: "Auntie, you're up! I'm taking Xiao Ni to pick mushrooms today."

Tong Xiayue pinched the girl's chubby cheeks and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Auntie, I'll remember. We'll go after breakfast!"

Hearing Tong Xiayue's words, Xiao Ni jumped excitedly in the yard, and everyone laughed.

Zhao Qian: "Sister-in-law, just get used to her. It's quite cold on the mountain early in the morning. You can go later."

Ye Lan put down the broom in her hand and said: "Be careful when you go up the mountain!"

Tong Xiayue heard that Ye Lan was worried, so she comforted her: "Mom, don't worry, we will just pick some at the foot of the mountain, not go deep."

At this time, Ji Jiashu came out of the kitchen and handed Tong Xiayue a freshly sharpened knife: You take it.

Tong Xiayue took the knife and her face couldn't help but get hot. She looked at the knife in her hand carefully. Although it was sharpened, the blade was hidden in the scabbard made by Ji Jiashu, so it wouldn't hurt her hand.

Tong Xiayue raised her eyes and looked at the careful man in front of her, thinking that he was so careful at ordinary times, and his madness was only left at night!

After breakfast, everyone went to work. Before leaving, Ji Jiashu kept reminding Tong Xiayue to be careful and not to go deep into the mountains, and to be careful of wild boars.

Tong Xiayue didn't want to take Xiaoni into the mountains so early. There would be fog on the mountain in the early morning, and it would be a little damp and cold. She, a three-year-old kid, would definitely catch a cold.

So they waited until after nine o'clock, when the fog on the mountain had mostly dissipated, before taking her up the mountain.

Tong Xiayue carried a bamboo basket on her back and walked on the country road holding Xiaoni's hand. The two of them, one big and one small, staggered to the bottom of the mountain.

Xiaoni excitedly let go of Tong Xiayue's hand and searched everywhere.

After a while, the little girl said excitedly: "Auntie, come quickly! There are so many yellow mushrooms here!"

Tong Xiayue walked to Xiaoni, squatted down, looked through them and said: "This is chicken oil mushroom, you can stew chicken soup, it's very delicious! Xiaoni is great, you found mushrooms so quickly!" After saying that, she gave the little girl a rewarding smile without looking at her head. Xiaoni

felt like she had done a good deed, so she searched harder.

There are a lot of weeds on the mountain, so many mushrooms are hidden in the weeds. You have to push the weeds away to see if there are any mushrooms.

However, not all mushrooms here are edible, there are also some poisonous mushrooms. Tong Xiayue was worried that Xiaoni would touch poisonous mushrooms if she searched with her hands, so she found a branch and asked her to search with the branch.

In the 21st century, she made a video introducing various edible mushrooms, so she is still very knowledgeable about mushrooms now. If she really encounters some unfamiliar mushrooms, she will not pick them.

"Wow! Auntie, do you think this mushroom is edible? It looks like a small house! So beautiful!"

Xiaoni found a small group of mushrooms under a big tree. Tong Xiayue went over to take a look and said with a smile: "Xiaoni, this is porcini!"

Xiaoni looked at Tong Xiayue with her eyes wide open: "Then can this be eaten? What can be cooked with it?"

Tong Xiayue looked at Xiaoni's expectant look and found it very cute: "It can be eaten. This can be used to stir-fry bacon or stew soup. There are many ways to cook it."

Xiaoni: "Wow! Xiaoni wants to eat it!"

In addition to liking to play, a three-year-old child definitely likes to eat. However, in this era of scarcity of materials, it is good to be full and you can't expect to eat well every meal.

Thinking of this, Tong Xiayue remembered that there was no food left in the kitchen at home, and even the flour was wasted by herself yesterday.

She had as much as she wanted in her space, but she still had to find a way to get rid of the things in the space, and of course, she had to find a way to make money.

The two of them walked up the mountain while picking mushrooms. There were more chicken mushrooms and porcini in this area of ​​Shantou, but they also picked some oyster mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms and the like.

This season happened to be the growing season for mushrooms. Many people in the village who did not work came to pick mushrooms early in the morning. Chicken mushrooms and porcini are better mushrooms, so the price is also higher, even in the 21st century. Most

of the mushrooms they picked were chicken mushrooms and porcini. Tong Xiayue thought that if she took them home and dried them, they could be preserved for a long time, so she did not stop the little girl who was addicted to picking mushrooms.

Soon they had picked up half a basket. Tong Xiayue saw that the number of people picking mushrooms on the mountain had gradually decreased. She walked over to Xiaoni and asked softly, "Xiaoni, have you finished picking? Let's go back."

Xiaoni pouted and said, "Auntie, pick a little longer. Xiaoni wants to pick more! I want to pick more for mom!"

Tong Xiayue looked at the little girl's excited face and thought that they would have enough time to cook after a while, so she let her continue.

The two of them walked up the mountain gradually. When they looked up again, they found that they had reached the middle of the mountain. Tong Xiayue pulled Xiaoni over and said, "Xiaoni, you can't go any further. There will be wild boars!"
