Chapter 3 Picking Red Mushrooms



First, wherever she has been, a 3D image will form in her mind, automatically forming a map; of course, she cannot form a map of places she has not been to;

Second, she can sense all living things within a 5-meter radius, including plants and animals. For example, if she wants to pick Ganoderma lucidum, she can know if there is any within 5 meters just by thinking about it.

3. She can sense whether all living things, including plants and animals, are poisonous or not.

4. All animals and plants will not attack her or Cheng Shaoyuan;

5. Based on the "map" in her mind, she can choose any location when she enters;

6. The time in space and the real world is the same. When it is daytime in the real world, it is also daytime in space. When it is nighttime in the real world, it is also nighttime in space. The seasons in the two worlds are also the same. It is now May, summer.

"I'll call my classmate later. He works at a testing agency, specializing in testing various foods, including vegetables, meat, water, and so on. We shouldn't eat the food we took out of the space yet. We should test it and make sure it's okay before eating it."

Cheng Shaoyuan didn't dare to eat anything in the space rashly. Although he thought the things in the space should be non-toxic, it would be better to do a test just in case.

Especially when there is a small child at home.

Shen Yunzhao thought about it and felt that it was right. "That's great! By the way, where does your classmate work? Is it far from us?"

"In the provincial capital. I'll deliver the stuff tonight and have my classmate work overtime tomorrow. The results should be out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"There's no need to be so anxious. It's getting dark now. It won't be too late to go tomorrow."

"I don't have anything to do tonight anyway, so I'll go now."

Cheng Shaoyuan was a man of action. He immediately bought a ticket for the last train, packed his things, took some clothes for a change, and left.

"Where are you going, Xiao Cheng, so late?"

Zhou Xiuqin happened to see Cheng Shaoyuan driving away downstairs, with a strange look on her face.

"Oh, he has something else to do in the provincial capital."

"It's so late, can't we go tomorrow?"

Shen Yunzhao didn't answer, but changed the subject, "Mom, how about that Ganoderma lucidum?"

"That Ganoderma lucidum is of exceptional quality!"

Zhou Xiuqin was particularly happy when talking about the Ganoderma lucidum. "Several customers saw the Ganoderma lucidum and said they wanted to buy it. Some offered 500 yuan per catty, some offered 545 yuan per catty, and one was even more generous, offering 600 yuan per catty."

You should know that the general price of wild dried Ganoderma lucidum here is between 450 and 500, and rarely exceeds 500, unless the quality of the Ganoderma lucidum is particularly good.

"So high?" Shen Yunzhao was shocked. She had never bought Ganoderma lucidum before, so she naturally didn't know that it was so valuable.

"What's so high?" Zhou Xiuqin looked at Shen Yunzhao as if he were a country bumpkin. "Ganoderma lucidum is not a very valuable medicinal material. The truly valuable ones are ginseng, wild golden thread lotus, wild dendrobium, bezoar, cordyceps, etc. A pound can cost several thousand."

"I've written down the contact numbers of those customers who offered the highest prices. Once our Ganoderma is dried, I'll contact them and sell it to whoever offers the highest price. What do you think?"

Zhou Xiuqin asked.

"Okay, you got a good deal."

"By the way, where did you get these Ganoderma lucidum?"

"Oh, a friend of mine gave it to me."

Shen Yunzhao felt that now was not the time to tell his mother the truth, and it would not be too late to tell her after Cheng Shaoyuan came back.

The next evening, Cheng Shaoyuan rushed back exhausted.

As soon as he got home, he excitedly said, "Yun Zhao, everything I brought has been tested. There are no excessive heavy metals, and there are no strange substances. Everything is healthy and safe to eat."

"My classmate also said that Ganoderma lucidum is very nutritious and wanted to buy some from me. I refused and just gave him five Ganoderma lucidum."

Even though she had guessed the result long ago, Shen Yunzhao was still very happy.

"That's great! Now I can dry the Ganoderma we picked and sell it. My dad said someone is offering 600 yuan per pound to buy our Ganoderma!"

"That's a pretty high price." Cheng Shaoyuan nodded. "Tomorrow is Sunday. Let's go up the mountain and see if we can find more Ganoderma lucidum."

Before the next day, at 12 o'clock in the morning, Cheng Shaoyuan woke up Shen Yunzhao and said that he wanted to go pick red mushrooms.

Shen Yunzhao struggled for a while and finally got up.

The forest was very dim in the early morning, pitch black, with only occasional moonlight shining through the leaves.

The woods were very quiet. The birds had all returned to their nests and were sleeping. Only a few insects were still chirping.

Occasionally the leaves were blown by the wind, making a rustling sound.

Shen Yunzhao had a flashlight tied to his head, a bamboo basket on his back, and a stick in his hand.

Cheng Shaoyuan was dressed the same way, but he had a hatchet on his waist.

"Ouch!"

Shen Yunzhao stepped on the dead leaves on the ground, and his foot immediately sank in, buried below his ankles in the dead leaves.

She stumbled and almost fell.

Cheng Shaoyuan immediately grabbed her arm and said, "Be careful."

"It's okay." Shen Yunzhao motioned him to let go of his arm, then pointed ahead, "There are red mushrooms ahead."

"real?"

Cheng Shaoyuan walked quickly in the direction Shen Yunzhao pointed, but after looking around, he saw nothing.

"here!"

Shen Yunzhao stopped about half a meter in front of Cheng Shaoyuan and gently pushed aside the dead leaves with a stick. Four red mushrooms appeared before him.

These four red mushrooms have not fully opened, and their caps are hanging down, like open red umbrellas.

Shen Yunzhao dropped the stick, gently pulled away the dead leaves, grabbed the bottom of the mushroom stem near the soil, and with a slight force, picked a red mushroom.

"it's beautiful!"

Shen Yunzhao admired the red mushroom and felt a sense of accomplishment.

This was her first time picking red mushrooms!

Cheng Shaoyuan picked another red mushroom nearby, examined it carefully, and said with a smile, "These red mushrooms are really hidden deep. If you don't look carefully, you can't find them at all."

Most of the red mushrooms are covered by dead branches and leaves, or even completely covered. If your eyesight is not very good, you can't see them at all.

Moreover, picking red mushrooms requires experience. Only those who go up the mountain to pick them every year and have rich experience can have a harvest every year.

"That's right. Otherwise, why do so many people go up the mountain to pick red mushrooms every year, but only a few can actually pick any, while many more can't or only pick a few?"

As Shen Yunzhao spoke, he gently pushed away the dead leaves next to him with his hands, and a red mushroom appeared again.

"Oh, this one is big enough, even though it's fully opened."

The edges of the red mushroom are slightly curled up, and the umbrella surface has been eaten by insects, revealing the white flesh of the mushroom, which does not look very good.

"There's another one here."

Cheng Shaoyuan saw a small piece of red emerging from the dead leaves nearby. He pulled away the dead leaves and saw a red mushroom.

This red mushroom looks much better than the previous one, but if it is not picked in time, it will soon be fully opened.
