Before my eyes, tall, sturdy, and leafy broad-leaved trees stand like giant green umbrellas spread out in the air.
Because it had just rained, red, white, and black mushrooms sprouted from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
The four members of the Lu and Hu families were overjoyed.
"Mom, this is the first time we've been so lucky to find so many mushrooms. It's never happened before." Jiang He's eyes shone as he looked at the mushrooms in front of him.
Jiang Wanwan was also very excited. The panel in front of her was labeled with various kinds of fungi, such as red fungus, bamboo fungus, morel, and Boletus edulis.
She doesn't recognize mushrooms, nor does she know which ones are poisonous, but she has a magic touch! As long as she picks them according to the markings on the panel, there won't be any problems.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanwan became even more excited.
At that moment, one sentence kept echoing in her mind: "I'm going to be rich! I'm going to be rich! Oh hahaha~~"
If things continue like this, it's only a matter of time before ginseng is found and lingzhi is harvested!
"Mom, look! It's bamboo fungus!" Jiang Jiang shouted excitedly, his eyes sparkling with excitement, pointing with his index finger to the distance.
The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw clusters of white mushrooms standing quietly at the base of a tree not far away.
"Mom, there are some over there too!" Jiang He exclaimed excitedly as he spotted a nest of them.
After saying that, the two brothers ran excitedly towards the bamboo fungus with light steps.
Madam Hu followed along, worried that her two clumsy sons might damage the bamboo fungus.
Jiang Wanwan stared wide-eyed at Madam Lu, who was standing to the side. Pointing to the red mushrooms nearby, she asked in confusion, "Mother, aren't these mushrooms too? Why aren't we picking them?"
Following the direction Jiang Wanwan pointed, Madam Lu looked over and, after seeing clearly what kind of mushrooms Jiang Wanwan was referring to, quickly explained, "Wanwan, those mushrooms are poisonous and cannot be eaten."
There was a family in the village who were poisoned after accidentally eating these mushrooms. They foamed at the mouth, had convulsions, and even hallucinated; it was terrifying. They were finally given a strong herbal decoction, and only recovered after vomiting.
Worried that her daughter might have accidentally eaten poisonous mushrooms, Madam Lu continued to educate Jiang Wanwan. "Look, that white mushroom is called bamboo fungus, and it's edible."
Those brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous and should not be eaten. Remember that.
Jiang Wanwan understood immediately. It turned out that the ancients had limited knowledge, or perhaps someone in the village had been poisoned by eating them in the past, so they dared not even touch those brightly colored ones.
Hehe, this is perfect, it actually benefits her.
Jiang Wanwan suppressed her excitement and went over to help pull up the bamboo fungus.
[Ding! One ounce of bamboo fungus detected. Do you wish to sell?]
Jiang Wanwan decisively clicked "no".
After all, the mysterious disappearance of bamboo fungus would arouse suspicion among the four members of the Lu family.
After harvesting the bamboo fungus, the Lu family moved on to another location. Jiang Wanwan silently memorized the route so she could easily return later.
Fortunately, the place they went to was not far from the second place.
While the Lu family was busy picking bamboo fungus and wood ear mushrooms, Jiang Wanwan greeted them and said she wanted to wander around the area to broaden her horizons.
Madam Lu gave Jiang Wanwan a long list of instructions before letting her wander around the neighborhood, telling her not to go too far.
Jiang Wanwan nodded vigorously, then looked around and touched things, feigning curiosity. Afterwards, when the others weren't looking, she retraced her steps back to the place she had visited first.
Following the markings on the floating panel in front of her, she began to immerse herself in picking wild mushrooms.
[Ding! 5 taels of genuine, natural, wild, premium-quality unopened red mushrooms detected. Would you like to sell?]
Then, the semi-transparent panel in front of me changed to a different page. It displayed the weight and price of the red fungus.
Authentic, natural, wild, premium-quality unopened red mushrooms are priced at 108 yuan per jin (500g), weighing 5 liang (250g), for a total of 54 yuan.
Authentic, natural, wild red mushrooms with open caps cost 80 yuan per jin (500g), weighing 3 liang (150g), totaling 24 yuan.
The above red mushrooms are priced at a total of 78 yuan. Are you willing to sell them?
Author's note: For ease of calculation, 1 jin = 10 liang.
