Xie Youzhu responded with a smile.
There were many bamboos in the back mountain, both old and young, and all of them were ownerless. As soon as the New Year was over, he, his second brother, Xie Ping and Xie An went to cut bamboos and prepared all these things.
Lin Yunchu nodded, gave everyone a thumbs up, and praised them for their attentiveness.
Since I have taken care of everything, we can just go into the mountains early tomorrow morning.
After finishing the business, Xie Chunjiao took Lin Yunchu back to her room. Lin Yunchu brought two sets of clothes with him, not many things.
After a while, Li came over with a pillow and a new quilt, put them on the bed, and said softly, "Yun Chu, I just dried these pillows and quilts a few days ago. They will definitely keep you warm."
Xiejia Village is surrounded by mountains. Even in summer, it is a bit chilly at night. It is not the hottest time yet, and it is still a bit cool at night.
When Lin Yunchu heard this, he subconsciously wanted to refuse. The pillows and bedding that his second aunt brought over looked like they were newly made. It would be great if they could keep them for his family.
She just wanted to sleep in the same bed with her cousin Chunjiao, but when she saw the expectant looks in Li and her cousin's eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
If she refused, they would probably think too much about it. Forget it, she would return it to the Xie family when she had the chance in the future.
Seeing Lin Yunchu happily accept it, Li curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled.
The next morning, Zhao and Li got up early to make breakfast. They also steamed sweet potatoes, baked a few pancakes, and filled a bamboo tube with water.
Yun Chu said that we should bring some food when going into the mountains so that we can replenish our energy in case we get hungry. This is true, but the Xie family has never had the habit of eating breakfast.
They just cooked whatever was available at home. Yun Chu told them about the sweet potatoes and pancakes, as they had brought these with them into the mountains.
So they both did as they were told, and it seemed right.
After breakfast, the group set off into the mountains. Xie Youzhu led the way in front, and Xie Youhe followed at the end, surrounding the others in the middle.
Lin Yunchu picked up a stick at the foot of the mountain, and just like when he and the Lin family entered the mountain in Qingxi Village, he carefully knocked the weeds on both sides of the path.
Everyone in the Xie family didn't understand what Lin Yunchu was doing, but they all followed her example, found sticks and put them in their hands, and then went into the mountains.
"After you go over the slope ahead, you'll see a lot of mushrooms."
Xie Youzhu, who was leading the way, turned around, pointed at a slope not far away, and said to Lin Yunchu while panting slightly.
He would often come here with Youhe to collect firewood. Sometimes, if he was lucky, he would even find some bird eggs to serve as a snack for his family.
They had seen quite a few of the mushrooms that Lin Yunchu mentioned, but they couldn't tell which ones were edible and which ones were not, so they didn't dare to pick them up.
In the past, there was a famine in the village and there was not enough food at home. Some people went into the mountains to pick wild vegetables, but no one dared to pick up mushrooms. The elders in the family said that they were not edible.
Because when the Lin family first told them about this, no one dared to believe it. In the end, they only realized after listening to Lin Yunchu that some of these mushrooms are edible while some are poisonous.
If you pick up poisonous mushrooms without knowing what they are and eat them, it would be a disaster.
Now that Lin Yunchu is here to teach them how to identify mushrooms, things will be easier.
When the group heard what Xie Youzhu said, they knew there were mushrooms ahead, and they immediately became energized. They didn't want to rest for a moment, and went around the slope they had just passed in one go.
Sure enough, not far away, Xie Ping, who had the sharpest eyes, pointed at a few mushrooms that had popped up under the tree in front and shouted in surprise,
"Look, there are mushrooms there."
Then he turned around excitedly and shouted to Lin Yunchu, "Yunchu, look over there! What kind of mushroom is that? Can you eat it?"
Lin Yunchu slowed down and looked in the direction Xie Ping pointed. He saw some mushrooms popping out from under the dead leaves on the ground. Upon closer inspection, he found that they were actually white onion mushrooms.
Lin Yunchu raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth slowly lifted, he nodded and said in a loud voice: "Yes, that's called white onion mushroom, it tastes pretty good."
After saying that, he quickly stepped forward, carefully picked up the white onion mushroom, and carefully put it in the backpack. Then he thought for a moment, picked up the stick in his hand, and gently pulled away the dead leaves in the pile of dead leaves next to him.
Sure enough, a few more mushrooms appeared not far away. Lin Yunchu picked all the mushrooms he found and put them into his backpack.
While talking to the Xie family members nearby about the appearance characteristics of different mushrooms and the details that need to be paid attention to when picking mushrooms.
These are mushrooms that will be sold to Yipintang. Be careful when picking them and don't damage them, otherwise you will have to pick them out when you go home to pick mushrooms later.
Everyone listened attentively and looked around to see if there were any mushrooms.
"The brighter the color, the more likely it is to be poisonous. Don't pick up mushrooms you don't recognize."
As soon as Lin Yunchu finished speaking, he squatted down, picked a yellow lily that he had just found at his feet, turned around and put it in his backpack.
Xie Chunjiao followed behind Lin Yunchu, secretly recalling what Lin Yunchu had just said, while looking in both directions.
Suddenly, a flash of red not far away made her stop in her tracks. She took two steps forward in the direction she had just come from. She used the stick in her hand to push aside the branches that were blocking her view. She immediately saw a mushroom under the branches, which looked like a small red umbrella. Her eyes were very bright.
Xie Chunjiao frowned slightly, feeling a little hesitant. Thinking of what Lin Yunchu had just said, the mushrooms were so brightly colored, and she didn't know if she could pick them.
Lin Yunchu, who had just picked up a lot of mushrooms, turned around and saw his cousin Xie Chunjiao who was in a daze, so he followed her gaze.
It turned out to be some red mushrooms.
Thinking of Xie Chunjiao's hesitation, Lin Yunchu chuckled softly and quickly explained to her: "Cousin, although this is brightly colored, it is just an edible red mushroom."
Lin Yunchu stepped forward and picked a few red mushrooms from the bottom of the tree branch and brought them to Xie Chunjiao.
"Look, when you break it open, it's solid inside. When you just broke it open, it had a blue background..."
Lin Yunchu repeated the characteristics of the red mushroom to the people from the Xie family who had just gathered around. After seeing that everyone understood, he turned his gaze to the other side and continued looking for mushrooms.
After working for half a day, although it was the first day in the mountains, Lin Yunchu and the Xie family members picked up quite a few mushrooms. Although everyone's backpack was not full, it was the first day, so it was already very good.
After a few days, everyone will gradually learn how to identify mushrooms and become familiar with how to pick them, and then it will be much faster.
