"Sister Ran, Sister Xinmei, Brother Wang, Brother Wu, pick the chestnuts." Qiao Mo pointed at the fruits on the ground and asked them to pick them up while he continued to play.
After picking up two full loads, Wang Jiaming and Wu Shudong consciously carried them back, while Chen Ran and Tang Xinmei, one picking up the goods and the other carrying them back, took turns, which gave them a break without wasting time.
After Qiao Mo picked all the fruits from the trees, he joined the group carrying chestnuts back home.
Thanks to proper arrangements and more manpower, although there were a lot of fruits harvested, they still managed to transport all the fruits back home before midnight and piled them in the house where Kang Mingyuan and his family used to live.
Everyone was exhausted. They all went to bed and didn't get up until after eight o'clock the next day. After a quick breakfast, they carried their baskets and sacks into the mountains.
Because Qiao Mo heard that if chestnuts were piled in the house for a few days, the thorny shells would burst open and become much easier to peel. So, they did not rush to peel the chestnuts like last year. Instead, they went to the mountains to look for as many chestnuts as possible, and did not stop until they had harvested all the chestnut trees they knew.
Sure enough, most of the thorn balls that had been piled up for a few days had cracked. Just step on them a few times and the brown chestnuts would fall out, or you could use your hands to open the crack a little wider and take out the chestnuts.
After the chestnut harvesting team was converted into work points, everyone continued to go into the mountains to harvest walnuts and pick kiwis. It was not until ten days later that the autumn harvest officially ended.
There was nothing else to do in the fields at that time, so the team gave everyone a week off and let them go to the mountains to pick up leftovers.
Qiao Mo took this opportunity to go to the mountains and pick all the fruits on the chestnut forest discovered by Kang Mingyuan and others, as well as the chestnut trees he found later, and put them into the space.
She went to Lingyun Mountain several times and used her spiritual sense to collect all the tea seeds in the tea forest she had seen before, and also picked up all the chestnuts, pecans, etc., and picked a lot of kiwis. After cleaning these two places, the flat land in her space was piled up with several small hills.
Not only that, she also hunted two wild boars that stumbled upon her, four wild sheep, and a dozen pheasants and rabbits in Lingyun Mountain, as well as mushrooms that sprang up like mushrooms after a rain. She felt she would be sorry for herself if she didn't pick them up.
Autumn is the season for picking a lot of herbs. With the help of her spiritual consciousness, Qiao Mo found a large area of Gastrodia elata and Panax notoginseng on a hillside of Lingyun Mountain. Except for a few seeds, she dug out all the others and stored them in the space.
On the last day, she was lucky enough to pick a few Hericium erinaceus and two purple Ganoderma lucidum. This autumn, she can be said to have had a fruitful harvest.
Other people at the educated youth site also had some small gains. Not to mention anything else, the entire flat area of the site was filled with mushrooms for drying in the sun. In order to show that her purpose of going into the mountains was to pick mushrooms, she would carry a basket back every day and dry them on the flat area like everyone else.
"Qiao Zhiqing, where did you go to pick mushrooms? Why did you get more than everyone else?" When picking mushrooms that evening, Yang Linglan looked at Qiao Mo, her eyes full of jealousy: so many mushrooms, if sent to the purchasing station, would definitely fetch a lot of money.
I don't know what happened this year, but the prices of these mountain products have risen sharply, especially dried mushrooms, which have doubled. Because of this, not only do the children in the village run to the mountains every day, but the adults also rush to the mountains as soon as they get off work. The mushrooms in the mountains have become a hot commodity.
