At noon, Qin Zijin coaxed the two children to take a nap, and then took a nap herself.
The cold and hard cotton made her feel no warmth at all. Thinking of the live broadcast she had done of playing with cotton, Qin Zijin had some ideas in her mind.
When she woke up, she found Tang Shen, who had been chopping firewood in the yard for two hours.
"Tang Can, is there any master carpenter in the village who is good at carpentry?" Qin Zijin walked over and looked at the firewood on the ground. He knew that Tang Can probably secretly went up the mountain while they were sleeping and chopped some firewood.
Hearing this, Tang Can stopped what he was doing and thought carefully before answering, "There is one. He lives under the old banyan tree at the west end of the village. I heard he came to our village many years ago. He doesn't usually interact with others, but he's a good carpenter. Many people in the village ask him to make cabinets, beds, tables and chairs for their homes."
"Then I'll look for him another day." Qin Zijin planned to ask the old carpenter to make a set of cotton-fluffing tools, and then re-fluff the cotton core inside the quilts at home. In this way, he could save a lot of money.
After all, points are really hard to earn.
"What do you want to do?" Tang Shen looked at Qin Zijin curiously.
He found that Qin Zijin seemed to have become very different from before.
He couldn't tell what was different specifically, but when he looked at her, he always felt that there seemed to be something inexplicably attractive about her that made it impossible to take his eyes off her.
"You'll know when it's done. Shall we go up the mountain later?" Qin Zijin had no intention of telling Tang Can.
After all, it is hard to say whether the old carpenter is willing to do it.
"Well, I'll go there in a while." Tang Shen temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart and nodded.
"Okay, do you want to prepare anything?" This was also Qin Zijin's first time going into the mountains.
In the past, I have watched quite a few live broadcasts of mushroom picking adventures in the mountains, which were quite interesting to watch.
It's a pity that she didn't choose this kind of outdoor exploration route from the beginning, so there is no need for her to follow suit.
Now she was still a little excited to be able to go for a walk in the mountains with Tang Shen.
I was especially excited at the thought of hunting.
"It's nothing, just follow me closely." Seeing Qin Zijin's eager look, Tang Shen couldn't help laughing.
But come to think of it, Qin Zijin has been in Shangao Village for seven years and has never been to the mountains.
Even if they go, they mostly stay at the foot of the mountain.
"Okay." Qin Zijin naturally obeyed.
Tang Shen made some preparations, took the necessary tools, and then led Qin Zijin out.
Before going out, Qin Zijin asked Miao Cuicui to help look after the two children, and Miao Cuicui naturally agreed.
Qin Zijin came out of the house and followed Tang Can closely. Many people in the village who passed by could not help but take a few more glances at him.
Qin Zijin is already beautiful, and after a simple grooming, she is very different from those women in the countryside who work hard in the fields. Even with simple clothes, she is still eye-catching.
"It's dangerous in the mountains in winter. You might encounter a hungry wolf. Remember to follow me closely then." Tang Shen felt the gazes of the people around him on Qin Zijin. He frowned, coughed, and reminded Qin Zijin again.
Qin Zijin was still thinking about how to make several dishes with the wild rabbit in the evening and did not notice the eyes around him.
He came to his senses only when he heard Tang Shen's words suddenly.
Seeing Tang Shen's unhappy expression, she was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked around, and saw that many people's eyes were directly and boldly fixed on her, with malicious eyes.
Thinking of the original owner's experience, Qin Zijin also knew that there was a group of hooligans in the village who were the most hateful. They often bullied men and women. If it weren't for Tang Shen, she would have been killed long ago.
Even though she married Tang Shen, she still encountered disgusting things when walking in the village.
After memorizing all those faces, Qin Zijin withdrew his gaze and followed Tang Can to continue walking towards the foot of the mountain.
There is a small stream at the foot of the mountain, but it hasn't rained for a long time in winter, and the water here has long dried up.
Most of the trees on the mountain are bare, and there is a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground.
Tang Shen often went up the mountain, so he was naturally very familiar with the place. He took Qin Zijin to the halfway point without much effort.
The mountain roads here are much more difficult to walk on.
Tang Shen observed the surrounding environment before saying to Qin Zijin, "It's almost done. Let's set up a trap nearby. You just follow me."
Qin Zijin looked around. She was not good at setting traps, but she could learn it.
Tang Shen's parents are hunters. They often took Tang Shen to the mountains to hunt, so Tang Shen is really good at setting traps.
Several traps were quickly set.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, then smiled at Qin Zijin and said, "It's almost done. Let's go to the edge and see if we can find some mushrooms and fungus. If we're lucky, we might even get something."
Qin Zijin looked up at the mountain. The closer he got to the top, the more difficult the road became. However, the trees at the foot of the mountain had lost all their leaves, and he could still see green on the mountain.
Although she wanted to go up the mountain to take a look, since Tang Shen said it was dangerous, she didn't plan to die.
Following Tang Shen, I pushed aside the dead leaves nearby and began to look for mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms hidden under the fallen leaves.
I'm lucky.
In a short while, he had found half a basket of mushrooms and black fungus.
And I actually found quite a few matsutake mushrooms.
These things are all valuable and are loved by the rich people in the city.
Qin Zijin estimated that he could sell it for a good price.
"Zijin, don't come near me!" Just as Qin Zijin happily bent down to pick mushrooms, Tang Shen's solemn voice suddenly sounded in front of him.
Qin Zijin paused for a moment, looked up with some confusion, and saw a black and white snake in front of Tang Shen.
But it seems that the snake has entered hibernation, coiled up in a ball and motionless.
She was confused and couldn't help but walk over. The hibernating snake could hardly feel any movement, and it was no different from being dead.
Qin Zijin only took two glances and was sure of its condition.
"It's hibernating, but why is there a poisonous snake here?" Qin Zijin thought of an explanation.
Wherever there is a treasure, there will be poisonous snakes or something like that guarding it.
Since there are poisonous snakes here, does that mean there are good things nearby?
She looked around but didn't see anything.
It was Tang Shen who first picked up the snake with the stick in his hand, then walked forward and stared at the ground in front of him for a while before speaking, "I remember Dad told me before that the presence of poisonous snakes means the presence of understory ginseng. There must be ginseng here."
Qin Zijin's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Ginseng? That's really valuable!
