Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 97 It was good when I came, I can't go back

The brothers and sisters of the Mu family refused to eat, and there was more than half of the stewed rice left, so they generously set aside half a bowl for Dahei and Xiaobai, and soaked it in rice soup.

The two pups ate so much that they couldn't bear to lift their heads.

The rest of the rice is packed in a Shak Kei, covered with a steamer cloth, and then hung into a well with a rope to cool, so that it will not spoil overnight.

Silent all night.

The next day, the weather was fine.

Shen Jiayan knew that after this heavy rain, dense mushrooms would emerge, and it was a good time to pick them.

In the morning, I reheated the leftover meal from last night. If I couldn’t finish it, I packed it in a bamboo tube and filled a large bamboo tube with water. I went up the mountain with a basket on my back.

The old people and women in the village have already gone up the mountain.

The old people dare not go up the mountain anymore, and only take the young girls to pick mushrooms on the nearby hillside.

The women went deeper into the mountain, and they all brought dry food and water. Once they entered the mountain, they spent a whole day, taking advantage of the mushrooms growing wildly after the rain these days, and picked more to go home.

Shen Jiayan went into the mountain this time, following Quan Shi and Bai Shi, but after entering the mountain, he saw mushrooms, picked them and slowly separated and walked away.

Shen Jiayan knows most of the wild mushrooms that can be eaten, such as the trumpet mushroom, the blue head mushroom, the chicken fir mushroom, the red mushroom, and the wild mushrooms such as boletus and morel mushrooms, all of which are extremely delicious.

Gallium fir mushroom is extremely rare. If you are lucky, you will find a nest. If you are unlucky, you will not be able to find it in a mushroom picking season.

Boletus, russula and morel are also very precious wild mushrooms, only local people can eat fresh ones, and those sold out are dried in the sun.

Shen Jiayan was lucky, not long after following Bai Shi and the others into the mountain, they found a patch of blue-headed fungus, everyone dispersed in a tacit understanding, at first they could still hear people talking, and gradually only they were left by themselves.

After picking the green fungus, Shen Jiayan walked through a pine forest, and saw a scorched mountain ahead. He guessed that the lightning struck the pine wood and set fire to it, and then burned the forest. Fortunately, it was probably rain. Great, bring this fire under control.

Even so, this mountain fire also burned a large open space, lying here and there with scorched pine trees, and the land and rocks were all burnt black, but after being nourished by rain and snow, a layer of tender green grass appeared on the land, covering the land. These scorched lands covered a lot.

Clumps of wild flowers are blooming in the grass from time to time, and the colors are gorgeous. Although some petals were scattered by a heavy rain last night, when the sun came out and the wind blew, they swayed again.

Stepping on these grasses, the rain that didn't dry last night and the dew this morning quickly wet the shoes and trouser legs.

But Shen Jiayan didn't care about these for a while, she discovered that there were a lot of morels growing in the grass.

This is good stuff!

Looking around, today, among other things, the morels in this patch of grass are enough for her to pick.

Sure enough, the morel mushrooms are everywhere in the grass, as if they don’t need money.

Shen Jiayan couldn't help but recalled a sentence in his mind: It was fine when I came here, and I can't go back!
Seeing so many morels, I really can't go back.

With this large piece of morel mushrooms, Shen Jiayan felt that it was not a matter of whether they could be sold for money or not, but she was delighted when she saw it, and she could pick it for a whole day without eating or drinking!
Patting the back basket beside him, Shen Jiayan put his foot on the rock and made a pointing gesture: "Back basket, look at this piece, it's all the mountains and rivers that I laid down for you!"

Carrying the basket ignored her, no one to share the joy, Shen Jiayan could only sigh and squat down to work.

The morels one by one are all in her bag, and the joy of picking wild mushrooms is beyond your imagination!
The morels are delicate and delicate, so they were picked and placed neatly in the basket, so as not to crush them, a layer of leaves was laid on every other layer.

When picking them, only the morels were in my eyes, and I completely forgot everything.

When the last morel mushroom in the vicinity was collected, I looked up and saw that it was already in full bloom.

Shen Jiayan's legs were numb, his eyes were dizzy, and he could barely get up.

After finally standing up with a nearby tree, he moved his hands and feet, and then realized that his mouth was dry, his face was hot from the sun, and his whole body seemed to be on the verge of burning.

After resting for a while, recovering a little energy, I broke off a few sun-dried branches from the pine wood that had been blackened and charred by lightning, and found a piece of dry ground, pulled a handful of hay, and used a flint Light it up and set up the branches.

When the fire came up, she put the bamboo tube containing lunch against the fire and waited for it to heat up slowly.

I pulled a few leaves of the big tree that were still stained with water droplets and scrubbed my hands carefully. After looking clean, I took out the bamboo tube containing water and poured half of the tube in one go, and finally relieved my thirst. Smoky throat.

When the branches were burnt, she took out the hot lunch and put it aside to eat when it was cooler, and pulled some grass with mud from the side to cover the piles of ashes that had been extinguished, confirming that the fire Stop when there is no spark left.

The unfinished bacon stewed rice was roasted in a bamboo tube, and after opening it, there was a little more fragrance of bamboo, which made it more delicious.

After eating, Shen Jiayan confirmed the direction, and continued to drill into the forest to search for wild mushrooms.

Maybe it was because such a large piece of morels used up her luck today, and Shen Jiayan picked up some blue-headed fungi in the next half an hour.

But when I went down the mountain, I was lucky. I came across a clump of Gallus pilosula, about ten or so, which was a windfall.

It was getting late, and the women in the village were also descending the mountain one after another. The further they went down the mountain, the more people gathered.

They all greeted each other, talked and laughed, and looked at each other's gains.

Shen Jiayan used to keep a low profile, if it was before, she would definitely cover up one thing or two, so as not to arouse jealousy.

But with the plaque of the magistrate, there is no need to hide everything.

Seeing her almost full basket of morels, those women were so envious that their eyes would pop out, and they couldn't help muttering, how lucky is she, a little widow?
You must know that the most capable woman in the village, today's harvest is only half a basket of green head and trumpet mushrooms, and some porcini mushrooms.

Unlucky, I didn't even pick up half of the basket today, and it's still worthless.

Looking at the morel mushrooms in Shen Jiayan's basket and the dozens of chicken fir mushrooms, they are so popular!

Bai's and Quan's also came out of the forest and caught up with the large army. Seeing Shen Jiayan's harvest, they were also very surprised.

The two of them are considered good players, and today they also feel that they are lucky, but they only picked green heads, red mushrooms, and a little boletus.

But the two didn't think much about it, instead they patted Shen Jiayan on the shoulder: "You're lucky, let's follow you tomorrow, maybe we can have great luck too!"

These words reminded the other women, and those who were quick to change their minds immediately put on smiles and approached Shen Jiayan to get close.

Everyone's luck is uncertain, if this Widow Shen is really lucky, wouldn't she be able to pick good things tomorrow by following her?
There are not a few people who think this way, and for a while, there are many more people around Shen Jiayan.

Talking and laughing, they went down the mountain and went home.

Bai Shi and Shen Jiayan went along the way, and when they were the only ones left on the road, she snorted and said, "Don't be as knowledgeable as those shallow-sighted women! You go into the mountains to pick wild mushrooms, relying on your own ability and Luck, it’s not about picking things from her house, everyone feels so distressed like that! Even if you don’t pick things, if you don’t have that luck, you’ll probably all rot on the mountain, and it’s not their turn!”

Shen Jiayan smiled, not paying attention to the jealousy of the women in the village.
