It was only after two consecutive days of bright sunshine that the mushrooms, which had become excessive due to the rain, disappeared.
Of course, they won't disappear completely. Instead, when it rains again, the mushroom-bearing roe deer will become rampant again after coming into contact with the rainwater.
So for people in the countryside, wild hazel mushrooms are worthless; who doesn't have several sacks of mushrooms at home?
Most people stop picking mushrooms once they have several sacks of them, because they can't eat them all, and if they want to eat them, they can pick them anytime after it rains.
So here, everyone thinks of mushrooms as a mountain delicacy that they don't really care about, just something to have on their plate when there's nothing else to eat.
Including things like pine nuts, corn, and pecans, in everyone's eyes, those are just snacks for children, and no one really cares about them.
However, people don't waste anything. Every harvest season, they still pick all the things and eat more of the mountain produce, which saves their families more food.
Yunxi put the broken but still edible pieces she had picked out into a separate basket, planning to wash them all clean and store them in her space after she finished picking them out, so she could take them out when she wanted to eat them.
As for the types of mushrooms, she didn't distinguish them; there were hazel mushrooms, yellow mushrooms, and giant oyster mushrooms.
After all, everything is stored in the space, and if I want to categorize things, I can do it with a single thought, so there is no need to select them one by one.
Yunxi patted her bulging belly. It was her first time eating rice, and it tasted especially delicious, so she ate until she was stuffed.
So he could only continue sitting in the corridor, picking out the mushrooms. Anyway, the pile of mushrooms in the space, which looked like a small mountain, didn't seem to have disappeared much.
After I felt my stomach had digested a bit, the two empty drying mats in the yard were covered with mushrooms, and there was even a small pile of mushrooms that had been picked out in the space.
The small pile of sorted mushrooms in the space was enough to cover about three drying mats. Once the mushrooms in the yard are dry, they can be taken out to dry as well.
He collected all the slightly broken mushrooms he had picked out into his spatial storage, then went to the well and took out two wooden basins, each about the size of a bathtub, from his storage space to wash the broken mushrooms.
Yunxi was especially grateful that there was a well in the courtyard, and the well water tasted quite good, with a slightly sweet taste.
If it weren't for the well, carrying so much water every day would be exhausting.
He filled a basin halfway with well water, took out some of the mushrooms he was going to wash from the space, then moved a small stool over and placed it directly on the side of the wooden basin, sitting on it to wash the mushrooms.
Without a stool, it would take forever to clean mushrooms, which are so difficult to clean. My legs would be numb by then.
While washing the mushrooms, I was also thinking about the salt. There was so much meat in the space, and the lack of salt was not a small amount.
But I didn't expect that there are now purchase limits on cigarettes. It seems that salt is always a restricted item, and you can't buy as much as you want.
Although she can't buy too much at once, she can go several times, and even when she goes to school, she can ask her classmates who go home for lunch to help her bring some back.
If I just make up an excuse about helping a neighbor in the village carry it, I don't think anyone will suspect anything.
The ten large water tanks I just bought are still empty, and with the wooden tubs the size of bathtubs I bought, even though there's no salt to smoke the meat into cured meat, I can still prepare them in advance so I don't have to worry about not having anything to store them in.
The most important thing is the internal organs, which are filthy. They always need to be cleaned thoroughly. The old lady who sells Yangchun noodles once said that as long as the internal organs are cleaned properly, they taste especially good when braised with seasoning packets.
Don't underestimate it, as long as it tastes good.
Yunxi sat by the well, picking through the mushrooms. She felt dizzy from all the picking. Finally, she tentatively put the wooden basin containing the mushrooms and water into her spatial storage. Since she could control her spatial storage, she wanted to test whether she could separate the dirt from the mushrooms.
Close your eyes, and the entire space appears in your mind. With a thought, the mushrooms and the dirty thing instantly separate.
Yunxi froze on the spot. If she had known it could be solved so easily, why would she have wasted time choosing things one by one?
There's no use slapping your thigh in frustration; we've suffered a huge loss.
Then, tentatively, they separated the pile of broken mushrooms and also separated out the dirt inside.
He threw the separated filth out of the space and then started sorting the mushrooms that hadn't been picked over.
Good mushrooms were set aside, edible but slightly broken mushrooms were set aside, and inedible mushrooms and dirty things were put into another pile.
It's amazing how easily a task that would normally take several days to complete was finished.
At this moment, Yunxi's imagination suddenly ran wild, and she thought of the entrails of the two pigs she had thrown into her space yesterday.
If she could separate the good and bad parts of a pig's internal organs, then she wouldn't have to deal with those things. Or, to put it even more imaginatively, she could simply clean up those unprocessed wild boars in her space with a single thought—how wonderful that would be!
After thinking about it, Yunxi began to experiment little by little, first trying to remove the dirt from the internal organs.
Although it was a little more difficult than the mushrooms, there were no obstacles, and I easily separated them.
Yunxi became more and more excited as she experimented. In the future, she could reduce her workload by 80%, as all tasks related to tidying could be completed within the space.
The smile on his face never faded; he was so happy. He took the broken mushrooms out of his space again. The mushrooms were now very clean, without a speck of dirt.
A quick rinse is fine, although you can eat it without washing it, but I still can't quite get over the mental hurdle.
Yunxi only washed one basin of chopped mushrooms. Washing them all would be too much, so it's better to wash a large basin when we want to eat them, which will be enough for a while.
The internal organs inside the space were already very clean, but Yunxi still took them out and washed them. She couldn't wait to try it out and see if the meat braised with the spice packet was delicious.
