Chapter 180 Picking Wild Mushrooms



The first item she could buy this time was a cow, which she hadn't expected. Perhaps the trading system knew she was opening a pastry shop and needed milk, so it made the cow appear. The second item was glutinous rice, which the trading system didn't actually have.

Next up are purple sweet potatoes. Previously, they were red sweet potatoes, but purple sweet potatoes were no longer available. It seems they were only made for pastry shops. Taro comes in both large and small sizes. The remaining fifteen types are all pastry recipes.

Strawberry milk squares, mochi, these are great, she loves them the most. I was disappointed before that they weren't available, but now they are. Yogurt pancakes, she doesn't like these. Snow skin cake, she can barely accept it. Purple sweet potato cheese fries, she doesn't really like them. Red bean cake, mung bean cake, mango crepes, donuts, these are great, kids love them the most, I'm sure many people will buy them.

She also likes flower cakes, shortbread, osmanthus cake, yam cake, walnut shortbread, and wife cake. Many of the pastry recipes this time are her favorites, and the ingredients are simple. I'll make the trading system disappear and tell Hua Hua what I can buy this time.

"With so many pastry recipes, once we find a suitable manager and buy some servants, we can start operating." Xia Hua said, then asked, "How much silver do you have in your trading system right now?"

If she wasn't mistaken, the amount of silver needed to buy a time-travel pass was already quite small.

An Shuyi replied, "I already have 90,000 taels, and I only need 10,000 taels more to buy one."

Xia Hua nodded, "Then we'll continue searching tomorrow. Let's gather 100,000 taels of silver to buy a time-travel pass and see if any other conditions are required."

If there are no other conditions, that would be ideal. If there are, then we can only meet those conditions. It's always better to know sooner rather than later.

"Let's eat. After you finish eating, get a good night's sleep. We'll continue tomorrow." She had already cooked the dishes and placed them on the table, just waiting for Shushu to finish reading so they could eat.

"Okay, let's eat!" She was also a little hungry, so eating was the priority.

After the two finished eating, An Shuyi washed the dishes and wiped the table, while Xia Hua took out the tent, secured it, and then put the cleaned bowls, table, and basins into the warehouse.

They had just eaten and couldn't sleep, so they sat on small stools outside the tent, looking at the stars in the sky and talking occasionally. Only when their stomachs weren't so full did they go into the tent to sleep.

That night, the two were sound asleep when they heard a dripping sound outside. Xia Hua sat up abruptly, opened the tent and looked outside. It was raining, but it had only just started. She turned on her flashlight and went outside to check if the tent was secure.

When she set up the tent, she chose a good location where it wouldn't flood even if it rained heavily. Plus, it was waterproof, so there was no problem staying inside. As she returned to the tent, An Shuyi was about to come out when she was stopped by her.

"Don't come out, I'll be right in." He crawled into the tent, changed back into his pajamas, and threw his slightly damp clothes into the storage room to wash them later.

"This rain is really untimely. I wonder if it will rain again tomorrow." An Shuyi saw her come in and used a towel to dry her hair.

Xia Hua took the towel from her hand. "I don't know either, but it's okay. We can rest tomorrow. Some things can't be rushed. Rain is good. Didn't you want to pick mushrooms? We can go pick them when the rain gets a little lighter."

"We'll store the mushrooms we pick in the warehouse. When we get to the capital, we'll buy a house and dry the mushrooms. Then we can take them out and cook them whenever we want."

The harvested produce by the tribespeople is kept in the dining hall. There isn't much of it, and it might be eaten up in just a few meals. It's good that they can harvest a little so that they can have it whenever they want.

Hearing her say that, An Shuyi smiled as she thought of picking mushrooms. "I'll listen to you and go to sleep. Anyway, the rainwater won't get in. It's just a bit noisy, but I can still sleep."

"Go to sleep!" Xia Hua nodded and lay down beside her, but she couldn't fall asleep right away. She turned to look at Shu Shu, who had fallen asleep in no time. She closed her eyes and went to sleep as well.

The rain continued into the next day. Xia Hua got up, opened the tent, but the rain outside was still quite heavy, so she had to pull the tent up again. It was only Chen Shi (7-9 AM), still early, but she didn't sleep; she just sat there.

When An Shuyi woke up, she saw her sitting there blankly. "Huahua, what time is it now?" Hearing the sound of raindrops falling on the tent, it seemed that she wasn't dreaming last night, but that it was really raining.

Xia Hua was still in a daze when she heard her voice and came back to her senses. "It's Chen Shi now, and it's still raining outside. If you're sleepy, you can sleep some more."

Since we can't go out anyway because of the rain, we can only stay in the tent. As long as we're not hungry, we can sleep however we want.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore. If you haven't thought it through enough, then you can go to sleep."

"Don't sleep, I'll wake up before you in a bit. Let's change our clothes, wash up and have breakfast. When the rain stops or lightens up a bit, we'll go out to look for mushrooms again. Of course, we'll also look for those flowers and plants we see."

As she spoke, she took the clothes out of the warehouse. They were new work clothes. The work clothes they used to wear up the mountain were always thrown away when they got dirty, because there was nowhere to dry them after washing. They would throw them away when they were almost worn out.

If it rains while you're looking for mushrooms, you can't wear a skirt anymore; you'll need to wear a raincoat over it, and skirts aren't convenient for walking on mountain paths.

After changing their clothes and washing up, the two of them started eating. It was simple milk, bread, and pastries. Although the taste wasn't great, it was nutritious.

The rain continued until noon before turning into a drizzle. The two quickly finished their meal, and Xia Hua took out their old raincoats, put them on, put on their hats, and then put on a pair of rubber boots before going outside the tent. Both of them carried sickles and nothing else.

Anyway, there's no one in this jungle. If we find mushrooms and flowers, we'll just put them in the warehouse, pack up the tent, and start searching.

The two men took sickles and tapped the bushes to scare away any insects. Before long, they found mushrooms.

"Hua Hua, I found several termite mushrooms, this is a windfall!" An Shuyi said to Xia Hua beside her, and opened the trading system. Termite mushrooms, five taels of silver.

"I never thought that termite mushrooms could be sold, five taels of silver a piece." But no matter how high the price, she wouldn't sell them; she'd keep them to eat.

“You pick them yourself. I found a few Boletus luridus here. If you’re lucky, you might find more Termitomyces albuminosus. I’ll fry them up and make them into noodles for you.” Xia Hua said, taking a few steps forward and picking a matsutake mushroom, which she put into the warehouse.

There are many ways to eat termite mushrooms: they can be used in soups, fried in oil, or stir-fried, all of which are delicious. She once had noodles with fried termite mushrooms, and it was extremely delicious.

An Shuyi nodded, "Then I'll find some more. If it doesn't rain later, let's have noodles, specifically noodles with matsutake mushrooms. Tomorrow we'll have steamed buns, wrapped with matsutake mushrooms, okay?"
