Chapter 205 Wild Mushroom Garden

Cang Hai put the basket on his shoulder, held Lu Shu's little hand with his free hand, and Hutou happily ran around in front of the two of them, while Tietou was naughty and jumped up the tree like a game with Hutou. Come and go, rustling with the leaves.

Lu Shu happily looked at the playful Hutou and Tietou, and said to Cang Hai: "This day is really relaxing and pleasant."

"Do you like it?" Cang Hai turned his head and asked Lu Shu with a smile on his face.

At this time, Cang Hai felt so happy that he had a girlfriend by his side, lived a comfortable life, and had a long-term livelihood, which provided a steady stream of clean funds. Naturally, he wished that such a life could continue.After a year or two, the girlfriend around me will be turned into a daughter-in-law, and then the child's mother, who will give birth to three or four children, and then the couple will happily watch the children grow up day by day.

Seeing Lu Shu nodded, Cang Hai blurted out: "Then don't leave, marry me, let's live here easily, hold hands, savor every day slowly, it's worth it until we're all wiped out." That day!"

Lu Shu was stunned for a moment, then turned to Cang Hai and asked, "Are you proposing marriage?"

"If you don't think it's formal, I can come back to Shanghai. Tell me, do you want to use the lights on the building to fight for your heart, or do you want to paint a screen on that big billboard in New York? How about I get a hot air balloon with your name written on it and fly in the sky of Shanghai for ten days and half a month?..." Cang Hai asked with a smile.

Lu Shu listened and thought for a while, then shook her head slightly: "Let's forget it, we are all so young, I still have a dream in my heart, and a job, I can't give up all these and come back here with you to live, And I'm not born for this kind of life, if you let me live a few days as a vacation, it's fine, but if I have nothing to do all day for a month, I only think about eating and drinking for three meals, I guess I will go crazy."

Lu Shu didn't look at Cang Hai, but looked ahead deeply. For Lu Shu, love is just a spice of life at present. She enjoys the intimacy between lovers, but she doesn't want to fix this thing and put herself Become a housewife and live the rest of her life around her husband and children all day.

Lu Shu also knew in her heart that she is not a girl who puts love above all else, at least she has never thought about becoming someone's wife, returning to Sanchi Kitchen to live such a happy young couple life in the eyes of others.

Lu Shu is a modern woman who is self-improving and independent. She works hard and studies hard to move forward step by step toward her own goal. She doesn't want to give up her goal or ideal for anyone, for fear that she will regret it later. She wants to see where her achievements are and where the heights she can reach in life are.

"It's okay, I just said it casually, let's walk around and see, it's really not good. You are in the magic city, and I am here. It's good for us to have a little farewell and get married from time to time." Cang Hai smiled and said against his will .

She said so, but Cang Hai knew in her heart that a girl like Lu Shu herself is not the most important part of her life, work is, and the goal of her continuous efforts is!
Maybe one day she will let go of her goal and live an ordinary life with herself, but such a timing will not be now, nor will there be a fixed timetable, it may be a few years, it may be ten years, or It could be decades or even a lifetime.

And how long is Cang Hai willing to wait?Cang Hai himself didn't know.

Cang Hai doesn't want to think about whether he is willing to wait or not, and imagines that in the next few years, more than ten years, he will live like these days with a lover as if he had no lover.

Shaking his head to get rid of the thoughts in his mind, Cang Hai smiled and pointed ahead: "Look, we will be there soon, a large mushroom field!"

Lu Shu didn't want to continue this topic anymore. Women's sixth sense is sometimes very strange. She felt that Cang Hai's big hand holding her palm suddenly tightened slightly, and then suddenly loosened. It seems to be painful.

At this moment, Lu Shu seemed to feel that her heart and her lover's heart were no longer an iron plate. She only felt that although the two hands were still holding each other, they were no longer as flawless as they were a second ago. into the cracks in the ice above.Although Lu Shu knew how to make up for it, she just couldn't do it.

Lu Shu also threw such thoughts out of her mind, and decided to leave this matter to time.

"It's the first time I've seen a field of wild mushrooms," Lu Shu replied with a smile.

The two couldn't help speeding up their pace, walked about twenty meters, passed through a small forest, and arrived at the mushroom field.

"Wow!"

Not only Lu Shu, but also Cang Hai was startled by what he saw. His eyesight is limited at night. Cang Hai just thinks that there are many mushrooms here, but he never thought there would be so many mushrooms.

How should I put it, it looks like a naturally formed mushroom plantation field, whether it is in the grass, the roots of the trees, or the trunks of a few dead trees, almost two hundred mushrooms have grown in this small, safe space. There are countless mushrooms, some of which have obviously been misfortune by something, and are in a mess, but most of them are colorful mushrooms that grow neatly.

Looking at a few mushrooms is completely different from looking at a small piece of mushrooms. Just like now, at this moment, both Cang Hai and Lu Shu seem to have a choice. Start picking.

Lu Shu asked, "Which mushrooms are edible?"

Cang Hai raised his head and scratched his forehead, and said with a little guilty conscience: "Don't pick the red ones, or the blue ones. Usually brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous. Let's pick the white ones first and the big light yellow ones." of!"

Both white mushrooms and light yellow mushrooms have been harmed by wild animals, so nine out of ten mushrooms are no problem to eat. As for those colorful ones, or those with spots on the top of the mushroom head, Cang Hai decided not to pick them first or Pick less and let the tree of life tell the difference.

While talking, Cang Hai took out a few plastic bags that were lumped together from his pocket, threw one away and handed it to Lu Shu: "Use this bag, don't put the poisonous and non-toxic ones at that time." Mixed together, poisoned even the non-poisonous!"

"I didn't expect you to be very thoughtful. The young man lives a very careful life?" Lu Shu took the plastic bag and said with a smile.

The two avoided the question, and when they talked, they seemed to return to the way they were before, the kind of sweet lovers.

"That's right, if you don't believe me, ask people from ten miles and eight villages, who will say that Cang Hai is a good man!" Cang Hai said boastfully.

Lu Shu was directly amused by Cang Hai: "Ten miles and eight villages, it's a question of whether you can build two villages even if you are twenty miles away. Who are you asking? Ask the wild mice in the field?"

"Don't worry about who you ask, it's just like this anyway." Cang Hai smiled and squatted down, put the basket on the ground, opened a plastic bag and began to pick khaki mushrooms.

At this time, Lu Shu set her sights on the small white mushroom. The small mushroom looks better than the big khaki mushroom. The umbrella on the top of the mushroom looks like a bullet head, and the stem is also high. The whole mushroom looks thin and long. , not like mushrooms with khaki-topped mushrooms, they are short and fat, and the whole mushroom umbrella is loose, without any energy.

There were too many mushrooms, and the two of them picked a bag after a while.

"Is it enough?" Lu Shu asked.

"Pick one more bag. There are so many people. No. 20 people. We can't eat a few of them!" Cang Hai said.

Lu Shu asked: "Didn't you mean stewed chicken? The side dish is not the main dish. I think it's almost done."

"Then let's pick another bag." Cang Hai thought about the same thing, but in case it wasn't enough, he decided to pick another bag.

The two were about to make a move, but Lu Shu suddenly asked Cang Hai, "Where's Iron Head?"

After hearing this, Cang Hai looked up and found that the iron-headed monkey was on the branch of the tree, so he said, "Isn't it on the tree?"

Just as he was about to turn his head to pick mushrooms, he saw a white dumpling in Tietou's hand. After a closer look, it turned out to be a Hericium erinaceus, and he immediately regained his energy.

"Tietou, come down, come down!"

Lu Shu was picking mushrooms when she heard Cang Hai shouting, so she said, "What do you call it, let it play by itself."

"It picked Hericium erinaceus somewhere!" Cang Hai said.

After hearing this, Lu Shu raised her head and looked at Tietou: "Hericium erinaceus, it's really Hericium erinaceus! Where did you pick it?"

Lu Shu is also familiar with Hericium erinaceus. This thing was a rare and good thing before, but now it is common in the market after successful breeding. Although the breeding is successful, the price of wild Hericium erinaceus still has not come down. , because everyone knows that there is a big difference between wild and farmed ones, both in taste and nutritional value.

At this moment, Tie Tou slid down from the tree trunk, and handed the Hericium erinaceus in Cang Hai's hands.

Cang Hai took a look, and found that the hairs on the head of the mushroom were very neat, and the whole Hericium erinaceus was as big as an adult's fist, so it was definitely a first-class mushroom: "Go, find out if there is another one like this, If you have one, bring it back to me."

After finishing speaking, he said to Lu Shu: "The roasted meat is delicious!"

"You just plan to eat it." Lu Shu smiled and said to Cang Hai, looking at Tie Tou who had climbed up the tree again.

"It's a blessing to be able to eat!" Cang Hai smiled and handed the monkey's head to Lu Shu, and he opened a bag again, bent down to pick a few brightly colored mushrooms.

Picking one of each, tied up the mouth of the plastic bag and put it in the basket, Cang Hai started picking light yellow mushrooms again.

The two picked more than half of the bags each, and when they were about to go back, Tietou still didn't come back.

"Tie Tou, Tie Tou!" Cang Hai put his opponent close to his mouth, and started calling out to Lin Zi.

Hearing Cang Hai's call, the iron head quickly swung back with the power of the branch, but his hands were empty, as if he hadn't picked Hericium erinaceus.

Cang Hai was not disappointed either, because if wild Hericium erinaceus were so easy to find, the price would not be so expensive.

Cang Hai and Lu Shu returned to the camp with the mushrooms they had picked. The first batch of watermelon shipments had already set off, and the rest of the villagers squatted in the camp to rest. The guys in the camp were very enthusiastic, scattered around the camp one by one, and continued to catch crickets even though it was hot.

oh!It can't be called catching. In the words of old man Xu Sheng, they call catching crickets not catching, but taking!
After the mushrooms were picked, they naturally needed to be washed, so Cang Hai took the basket and went to the small trunk growing out of the Tree of Life and began to wash the mushrooms. By touching the trunk from time to time, Cang Hai asked about life. tree, to distinguish which mushrooms are poisonous and which are not.

The light yellow and white mushrooms are all non-toxic, as Cang Hai guessed. As for the colorful flower mushrooms, except for a light red one that is not poisonous, the others are all poisonous.

Throwing away the poisonous mushrooms, Cang Hai took the mushroom field to his own range, which means that no wild boars and the like can eat mushrooms in that field in the future, and the mushroom field suddenly became The wild vegetable garden in Canghai.

Cang Hai didn't intervene in the matter of no mushrooms, and the few grandmas who were free brought Shi Wei to arrange it together. As for the clumsy Lu Shu and Yan Li, they enjoyed Cang Hai's treatment and were driven aside.

Lu Shu returned to Cang Hai's side, and said to Cang Hai, "I didn't expect Shi Wei to be so good at working."

Cang Hai laughed casually: "If you stay for a long time, you will work!"

Cang Hai didn't think too much, just said something casually, and then he heard Li Liren calling him, so he opened his mouth and said, "I'll go over there and have a look".

Lu Shu nodded, and waited for Cang Hai to leave, then her eyes fell on Shi Wei, who was squatting by the river and washing mushrooms with a group of village grandmothers.
