Chapter 900 Returning with a reward (22)

To put it bluntly, the experience of picking fungus is also very simple

As long as everyone remembers where they picked last time, and come back next time, there are eight out of ten or nine times out of ten there will be harvests. If not, then either someone has caught them first, or it hasn’t rained and the fungus hasn’t grown yet.

We walked in the dense forest of the back mountain, and dry wood can be seen almost everywhere in the forest, so as long as you go into the mountain after it rains, you will definitely find a lot of wild fungus.

This time everyone's harvest was very good, because it just fell for a while in the autumn rain, and the villagers have been very busy recently, and they have no time to go into the mountains at all, so no one has picked the fungus in the mountains.

I have to say that ginger is still old and hot. Although the second uncle was not the first person to discover fungus, he was the one who harvested the most. His back basket was full of fresh fungus.

Just such a basket of fungus, at least it weighs about 200 catties. After drying, there should be two or three catties of dried fungus. Now the wild black fungus in Moon Lake is very popular, and the price is also very good. It can even sell for [-] yuan per catty. Yuan.

Calculated in this way, the second uncle earned five to six hundred yuan this trip, which is really a good harvest.

"Wow, second uncle, your pannier is full?" Yiyi looked at the second uncle's pannier in surprise.

"Hehe, I'm lucky today, and we are the first group to enter the mountain, so we have so much harvest, and there will be no such good things in the future!" The second uncle is also very happy, his face is full of joy of harvest.

"Second uncle, you are really amazing!!" Zhang Feng walked over with a smile and gave the second uncle a thumbs up.

"Xiaofeng, your harvest is not bad, and the basket is almost full!" The second uncle smiled modestly and said.

Zhang Feng smiled and shook his head, he didn't pick the ones in his back basket alone, but Yiyi helped pick them.

"Xiaofeng, go and have a look over there. I remember that there is a nanmu tree near the big rock, and there should be fungus on it!" The second uncle pointed to Zhang Feng with a smile.

"Thanks to the second uncle, I'll go and have a look!" People who often go to the mountains have their own little secrets. Everyone will write down where there are medicinal materials and precious mountain treasures, and they will not tell others easily.

After Zhang Feng thanked the second uncle, he took Yiyi together, walking like a big rock not far away.

Sure enough, according to the second uncle's instructions, Zhang Feng and the two found the dry nanmu tree accurately, and saw that the tree was covered with dense black fungus, which was very gratifying.

Pieces of fungus are picked from the tree, the pleasure of continuous harvest is very intense, and there is really a sense of happiness of harvest.

"What about the lunatic?" The dead tree was more than three meters high, and the fungus left on it couldn't be picked. Yiyi was very unwilling.

"Hehe, it's okay, you can pick it while riding on my shoulder!" Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"Hee hee, alright!"

Then Zhang Feng carried Yiyi on his shoulders, and the two cooperated with each other to pick most of the fungus off the tree.

"Oh, it's a pity I can't pick the top one!" Seeing the fungus at the top, Yiyi almost fell into obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Hehe, let's just leave some seeds for this tree!" Zhang Feng comforted with a smile.

Yiyi nodded, and had no choice but to do so.

At this moment, the old man's surprised voice sounded not far away.

"Xiaofeng, Yiyi, come quickly and see what good things I found!"

"Ah, grandpa, what treasure did you find?" Yiyi asked hastily.

"Hehe, don't you know when you come here?" the old man said in a deceitful manner.

Zhang Feng and the two didn't ask any more questions, and ran over quickly.

"Have you seen this? Xiaofeng should know it, right?" Seeing his granddaughter and Zhang Feng rushing over, the old man asked Zhang Feng with a smile.

"Grandpa, you are very lucky. Is this wild Gastrodia elata?" Zhang Feng saw the clue at a glance.

"Ah, grandpa, this is Gastrodia elata? How did you find it?" Yiyi asked the two with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, this requires experience..."

The wild Gastrodia elata plants wither in late October and begin a year of dormancy. This dormancy will last until the next spring. When the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, they will germinate like grass and grow arrows. Arrow-like plants come.

At this time, it was late autumn, Gastrodia elata had begun to go dormant, and the plants on the ground had withered.
Therefore, the old man can find Gastrodia elata now, not only because of his good eyesight, but also because of his luck, otherwise it would be really difficult to find them.

After listening to her grandfather's introduction, Yiyi suddenly realized.

"It turns out that wild Gastrodia elata is so hard to find?"

"Of course, but it's not a problem for professional herb pickers, they have their own unique skills!" The old man said with a smile.

"What ability?" Yiyi asked curiously.

"Professional herbal collectors will go into the mountains in spring or summer, because Gastrodia elata grows and has plants at that time, which is most conducive to the herbal collectors to find, and as long as the herbal collectors find the target, they will do it." Put a special mark on it, and when it is the best harvest season, follow your own mark and you will be able to dig gastrodia elata smoothly." The old man explained to his granddaughter with a smile.

"Ah, so it's so simple!" Yiyi thought before that the herb pickers could have some strange skills, but they didn't know the method was so simple.

Hearing Yiyi's words, everyone laughed. Although this method is simple, people without certain experience really can't figure it out.

The old man rolled up his sleeves, picked up a stick, and started digging the gastrodia elata on the ground.

You should also be careful when digging Gastrodia elata. It would be a pity if you hurt the gastrodia elata itself. Although the old man would not sell it, the intact Gastrodia elata looks better, right?

"That's right, that's right, there's quite a lot of Gastrodia in this litter!" Seeing the dozen or so pieces of Gastrodia that were dug out from the soil, the old man showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Tsk tsk! The biggest one is almost one or two?" Seeing two finger-sized gastrodia, the second uncle also said in surprise.

"Hehe, almost!" The old man smiled and took the largest Gastrodia elata in his hand, and then gently wiped off the dirt on it.

"You old man, isn't it just gastrodia, put it away quickly, we have to go back sooner." Seeing the old man's proud look, Grandma Liu gave him a white look, and then said with a smile.

"Haha, let's go, let's go home when we're done!"

The old man smiled and put all the Gastrodia elata on the ground into the basket, and then everyone started walking back.

I have to say that everyone's harvest today is very good. The baskets of the two elders are full of fungus, and Zhang Feng's harvest is also a lot. Most of the fungus in the basket weighs 25 to [-] catties.

And on the way back, there should be a lot of missing fungus, so it is estimated that Zhang Feng's back basket will be full when he walks out of this mountain forest.
