Chapter 43 The Mountain King is Worthy of His Name



Zhou Xingbo's personality is like his father's, down-to-earth, steady, responsible, and he cares particularly about family. He is very good to his sisters and even to his three aunts.

The disadvantage is that they are timid, conservative and afraid of any high-risk investment.

Shen Yunzhao likes Zhou Xingbo's personality very much. If he leaves the task of purchasing red mushrooms to him, there is a high probability that nothing will go wrong.

Moreover, she still wanted to help Zhou Xingbo in her heart.

Zhou Xingbo works in the construction field. After a few years of economic downturn, the construction industry entered a cold winter. Zhou Xingbo's salary kept decreasing and his life became increasingly difficult.

Although Shen Yunzhao didn't know how big her dry goods shop could become, Zhou Xingbo could still make some money by cooperating with her.

After confirming the cooperation, Zhou Xingbo was in a good mood. "Yun Zhao, when will your shop open? When can I start buying red mushrooms?"

"I plan to open it in the early part of next month. You can start collecting it next week, and I'll drive over to pick it up after you're done."

"OK."

Before I knew it, it was already 11:30, and Shen Fugui and Mr. Geography also came down.

The work is not done yet, one morning is not enough, I have to continue in the afternoon.

After lunch, Zhou Xiuqin took Yaoyao to take a nap, and Shen Yunzhao also entered the room in the name of lunch break, but actually entered the space.

She first went to see Dahuang Wife and found that its condition had improved a lot.

The fever subsided the day before yesterday, and the wound has healed to a large extent. I estimate that it will be completely healed in a while.

After Shen Yunzhao changed the medicine for Dahuang's wife, he was about to leave, but Dahuang bit his trouser leg.

"Yeah? You want to take me out?"

Da Huang roared.

After hearing this, Shen Yunzhao pointed at himself in disbelief and asked, "Sit on your back?"

"roar!"

Shen Yunzhao understood that Da Huang was urging him to hurry up and stop dawdling.

"Well, then I'll try it?"

Shen Yunzhao suppressed the excitement in his heart and slowly climbed onto Dahuang's back.

The hair on Dahuang's back is thick, dense and particularly long. It feels soft and comfortable to hold in your hands.

Its back is wide, thick and soft, and sitting on it feels like sitting on a leather sofa.

Dahuang jumped a few times and got out of the cave in a short while.

Shen Yunzhao was a little scared at first, but she didn't expect Dahuang to walk so fast and steadily, so she didn't have to worry about being thrown off at all.

Shen Yunzhao felt relieved and was in the mood to appreciate the scenery in front of him.

The trees on both sides passed quickly in front of her, and the wind blew.

A small bird was perched on a branch, startled by the rhubarb and flapped its wings and flew away;

A little monkey was swinging on a vine. When he heard Da Huang's voice, he squeaked and swung off the vine without knowing where to go.

An unknown little animal fled in a panic, and before Shen Yunzhao could see what it looked like, it disappeared without a trace.

Wherever Dahuang went, there was chaos and all the animals were running away desperately.

The mountain king is worthy of being the mountain king!

I don’t know how long it took, but Dahuang finally stopped.

Tall trees can be seen everywhere in the mountains and forests.

On the ground, there grows moss instead of bushes.

Thick moss spread like a carpet on the ground, on the trees, and on the dry, dead wood.

Various colors such as light yellow, light green, light pink, bright red, etc. are intertwined, just like a forest in a fairy tale.

Shen Yunzhao was stunned. It turned out that there really was such a beautiful forest!

She stood there and watched for more than ten minutes before she realized that the plants of various colors dotted on the green moss were mushrooms!

"Da Huang, you brought me here to tell me there are mushrooms here?"

"roar!"

"Haha, thank you!"

Shen Yunzhao patted Dahuang's back and then happily began to pick mushrooms.

However, these mushrooms were not what Shen Yunzhao usually saw, so he didn’t recognize most of them.

Fortunately, she has a golden finger, so it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t know him.

The first thing she picked up was a small gray mushroom with particularly large feet.

As soon as my hand touched the mushroom, relevant information automatically emerged in my mind:

Boletus, a general term for fungi from the Boletaceae and Porcini families, is a wild and edible mushroom. The main varieties include white, yellow, and black boletus.

Shen Yunzhao raised her eyebrows. It turned out to be the famous porcini mushroom. She said it looked a little familiar.

Then, she picked a mushroom that was as yellow as milk and looked like a piece of chicken fat, and it smelled of osmanthus.

A line of words immediately emerged in my mind: Chanterelles, in the early stages of growth, the cap curls inward and becomes protruding, and in the later stages of growth, the cap unfolds and the surface becomes smooth...

There were so many mushrooms here that Shen Yunzhao picked up a large pile of them in a short while.

Fortunately, she placed two baskets in the space.

After putting all the mushrooms into the basket, there was still a small pile on the ground.

"What about these?"

Shen Yunzhao thought about it and finally decided to put all the mushrooms by the river.

She has been clearing land by the river these days and has already created a piece of open space.

The open space is not large, only about 100 square meters.

Shen Yunzhao transported all the mushrooms to the river in two trips.

Then he broke off a branch with leaves and used it as a broom to sweep the area.

After cleaning, she walked to the banana tree by the river and broke off dozens of leaves.

Spread out the banana leaves and place the mushrooms one by one on the leaves to dry.

After finishing all this, she checked the time. It was only 2:30 in the afternoon.

Shen Yunzhao didn't want to go out yet and continued to stay in the space.

She felt that she should speed up and build the house quickly.

In addition to the house, a large drying area must also be built.

She remembered the place where rice was dried in the countryside when she was a child. A few rice mats were placed on the flat ground, and things were placed on the rice mats to dry.

The mat is about one meter wide and two meters long, woven with bamboo, and is very useful for drying things.

She decided to ask her mother where she could buy rice pads after she got out.

In addition to the rice mat, you also need to buy a winnowing basket, a basket, etc.

"Yun Zhao!"

Zhou Xiuqin's voice suddenly rang in his ears, and Shen Yunzhao hurried out of the space.

Zhou Xiuqin was no longer surprised to see Shen Yunzhao suddenly appear.

"Your aunt said there's a house for rent nearby. Do you want to go take a look?"

"Whose house? Where is it?"

Shen Yunzhao really wanted to rent a house at the entrance of the village, preferably a remote location with no neighbors nearby and good privacy.

She had to take things out of the space from time to time and needed a house like this as cover.

However, there are not many houses that meet all these conditions at the same time, and Shen Yunzhao couldn't find one after searching for several days.

"I don't know. Go down and ask your aunt."

The three of them went downstairs and my aunt was sitting in the living room waiting for them.

Seeing Shen Yunzhao coming downstairs, my aunt said, "Do you know Shen Shitou, the five-guarantee household in our village?"

Shen Yunzhao was confused. She had never heard of this name before.

"Shen Shitou? Are you talking about the short, hunchbacked, and eye-damaged Shen Shitou?"

Zhou Xiuqin thought for a long time and finally remembered this person.

"Yes, that's him."

"Hasn't Chen Shitou been dead for a long time? His house hasn't collapsed yet?"
