The two walked less than ten meters when Zhou Xiuqin saw a little bit of red in front of her. She took a few steps forward and squatted down.
When she pulled aside the dead leaves, she found a red mushroom as big as her palm, with the edge of its cap half hanging down, and its color was red with black.
"it's beautiful!"
After picking the fruits, Zhou Xiuqin held them in her hands and looked at them again and again, her eyes full of smiles.
"Yun Zhao, do you think the red mushrooms we picked are bigger?"
“It seems to be bigger.”
Shen Yunzhao thought about it and realized that it was true.
She hadn't noticed this problem yesterday, but when she thought about it today, she realized that most red mushrooms are quite large.
"This means the climate here is suitable for mushroom growth!" Before Shen Yunzhao could speak, Zhou Xiuqin began to explain, "Look, the trees here are relatively large, very similar to a primeval forest."
The two searched around for a while. Zhou Xiuqin had presbyopia and could not see clearly at close range, but she was very good at seeing far away, and she actually found two red mushrooms.
As for Shen Yunzhao, she searched around for a long time, but unfortunately, she didn't see a single red mushroom.
"Mom, there are no more red mushrooms here, let's keep going!"
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Xiuqin pointed in front of Shen Yunzhao, "Do you see a flower there?"
Shen Yunzhao opened his eyes wide, but saw nothing.
"No!"
"Here!" Zhou Xiuqin pointed with a stick.
Shen Yunzhao observed it carefully again and said firmly, "Really not!"
"What are you looking at?"
Zhou Xiuqin glared at Shen Yunzhao with disdain, and gently pulled away the dead leaves with a stick. Sure enough, a red mushroom appeared in front of her.
This red mushroom is about the size of a baby's fist. Its cap is red with a hint of black. It should be fully open soon.
The umbrella cover was wet, and there were a few white spots on the edge. I don't know what kind of insects had eaten it.
"It's true!" Shen Yunzhao said embarrassedly. Without the golden finger, she was really in trouble. She couldn't even find a red mushroom.
But this cannot be blamed on her. She has severe myopia with a degree of over a thousand and the light here is extremely dim. She can only see what is in front of her clearly and is lucky that she doesn't fall.
"Really? You're a young person, but your eyesight is worse than an old man like me. I told you to spend less time on your phone, but you just wouldn't listen. Now you're so nearsighted that you can't even find mushrooms..."
Zhou Xiuqin began to nag.
We walked for a long time.
Zhou Xiuqin was too tired to walk anymore. She leaned against a pine tree, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and fanned herself vigorously with her left hand.
"Yun Zhao, did we go to the wrong place? We've been walking for so long and haven't found a single red mushroom."
The two walked for nearly half an hour, but didn't find a single red mushroom.
Shen Yunzhao was also very tired, even more tired than yesterday, and didn't want to leave at this moment.
She sat down on a dead tree and used her hands as a fan. "I guess I'm not going the wrong way."
She had better continue to use her perception. Without the golden finger, she really couldn't find the red mushroom!
The red mushrooms are hiding under the leaves, so hard to find!
What’s even more frustrating is that she is so myopic that she can’t even see a single red mushroom!
As soon as he opened his senses, Shen Yunzhao discovered the red mushrooms at his feet in less than a second.
Gently pull aside the dead leaves, and a half-opened red mushroom appears in front of you.
"Hey, do you have any?"
Zhou Xiuqin was originally very tired, but the moment she saw the red mushroom, she immediately stopped feeling tired and walked over.
"Let me see if there are any more around here."
She also squatted down and looked around, and actually found two twin red mushrooms connected together. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Just as I put the twin red mushrooms into the backpack, I found another one.
But this flower is too big, even bigger than an adult man's palm, and the edge of the umbrella cap is already curled up.
It is a fully opened red mushroom and its value is not that high.
But if you are eating it yourself, don’t worry about these things and just put it away.
On the other hand, with the help of the golden finger, Shen Yunzhao's speed in finding red mushrooms increased significantly.
Basically, she knew exactly where the red mushrooms were wherever she passed, as if she had a scanner and locator installed in her eyes.
…
It was already 3 a.m. when the two came out of the space.
After taking a shower, they fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already 8 o'clock in the morning.
"It's too late! Go brush your teeth, wash your face, and eat. After that, you have to go sell red mushrooms."
Zhou Xiuqin urged.
"Mom, don't be anxious." Shen Yunzhao walked out slowly, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.
I went to pick red mushrooms these past two nights. Yesterday I just felt a little tired, but I was able to stick to it.
Today she felt sore in her back and waist, uncomfortable all over, and she didn't get enough sleep. The fact that she was able to get up shows that she has strong willpower.
"Why aren't you in a hurry? If you're any later, there will be no one in the market!"
Based on Zhou Xiuqin's more than ten years of experience in buying groceries, it was really late at this time. The people who bought groceries in the morning gradually dispersed, those who needed to go to work went to work, and those who needed to play went out to play.
Under Zhou Xiuqin's urging, Shen Yunzhao had to speed up and finished his breakfast in less than 15 minutes.
It was already 8:30 when they arrived at the Dongmen Vegetable Market.
"Oh, why are you so late today?"
As soon as Mr. Fan saw Shen Yunzhao, he greeted him with a smile.
"I got up too late today."
Shen Yunzhao got off the motorcycle and put away the backpack, basket and other things.
"Where's Xiao Cheng? Didn't he come today?"
Uncle Fan looked around but didn't see Cheng Shaoyuan, so he asked.
"My son-in-law has to go to work, so starting today I will sell red mushrooms with my daughter."
Zhou Xiuqin responded cheerfully. She has a cheerful personality and can chat with anyone.
In a short while, we found out Mr. Fan's surname, where he lived, and how many people were in his family.
Zhou Xiuqin held Yaoyao and chatted with Uncle Fan, while Shen Yunzhao lowered his head to put things in order and greet the first customer.
But maybe it was because they came too late. Five or six minutes passed and no customers came.
Another 3 minutes later,
"Hey, do you have red mushrooms for sale?"
A fat old lady came over and stared at the red mushrooms in the basket with curiosity.
Shen Yunzhao immediately smiled brightly, "Auntie, I picked this red mushroom this morning. Look, the soil is still moist. Would you like a pound?"
The fat old lady didn't answer, but continued to ask, "How much is one pound?"
"180."
“It’s too expensive!”
The fat old lady shook her head, turned around and decided to leave.
Shen Yunzhao didn't want the first customer to leave like this, so he quickly said, "Auntie, no one else is selling red mushrooms in this market, I'm the only one selling them!"
"Besides, the red mushrooms here are very beautiful. The soup made from them is fresh and sweet. Even my daughter loves it."
"Right, right, right!" Zhou Xiuqin, who was chatting with Grandpa Fan, immediately continued, "Old sister, I'm not lying to you. My granddaughter used to be a complete glutton. She really didn't like to eat."
"Yesterday I cooked a bowl of noodles with red mushrooms and lean pork, and she ate half a bowl. After she finished, she wanted more. I didn't dare give her any, for fear that she would eat too much."
