Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 20
Jiang Jinyu hugged her father's legs and said, "Dad, didn't you say there are no wild animals in the mountains here?"

"It won't work without wild beasts. What if we get lost? What if we fall down the mountain?" Jiang Mingshun was unmoved.

Jiang Jinyu raised her hands and swore: "I will not run around and stay right next to you. How about you find a cloth tie to connect my hand with yours?"

Jiang Mingshun: "..."

This was so pitiful that he couldn't bear to refuse anymore.He could only say helplessly: "Then after entering the mountain, if you are more than five meters away from me, I will send you back immediately, and I will never take you with me again next time."

Jiang Jinyu nodded quickly, like a chicken pecking at rice.

The trees at the foot of the mountain are not very prosperous, and winter is about to begin. Every household is cutting firewood to prepare for the winter.

The sun gradually rose, and Jiang Mingshun finally stopped.He put his backpack on the ground, lowered his head and said to Jiang Jinyu, "Dad is cutting down trees here. You are not allowed to go far."

Jiang Jinyu also put down his small backpack and replied obediently: "I know, Dad, I promise you can see me when you look up."

Seeing that Jiang Mingshun was already busy, Jiang Jinyu also squatted on the ground and carefully looked for wild vegetables. Unfortunately, she didn't know whether it was past the season for growing wild vegetables, or the trees here were too tall, blocking most of the sunlight.In short, she had been busy for a long time, and her feet were numb from squatting, but she still couldn't find any edible wild vegetables.

She stood up and beat her legs, not wanting to continue looking elsewhere.

If you don't seek death, you won't die. Jiang Jinyu firmly believes that if you don't run around, you won't get into trouble.

When she returned to Jiang Mingshun, since there were no wild vegetables, her efforts were not in vain. Just following her father to pick up some twigs for firewood was not a wasted trip!

Jiang Jinyu saw that her father was still competing with a tree that was as thick as an adult's arms, so she didn't bother him.

While picking up branches from the ground, she looked at the trees around her, trying to find the one that was most suitable for furniture.

"Huh?" Jiang Jinyu looked at the large yellow-white flower on the tree in front of him in surprise.

She thought uncertainly, could this be a wild white fungus?But can white fungus grow here?
Speaking of which, Jiang Jinyu really didn't know anything about the dynasty he was currently living in.

She only knew that this was a completely different place from what she remembered. Therefore, Jiang Jinyu convinced herself that no matter what the climate and terrain were here, since Tremella fuciformis had grown in the wild environment, it meant that this place was suitable for its growth. Right?
Thinking of the sayings that later generations heard about Tremella nourishing yin and yang, nourishing lungs and qi, and commenting on bird's nests, Jiang Jinyu thought that maybe he could pick them first and take them to the drug store to ask.

She suppressed her excitement and continued to observe. Sure enough, she saw white fungus growing on more than one tree.

There are only five or six trees nearby, and there are at least a dozen flowers growing on each tree.

Finally, three trees, one thick and two thin, fell to the ground. Jiang Mingshun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the girl next to him who was looking up at something, "Fish Lady, go back to eat."

Jiang Jinyu came back to her senses. She ran over happily and pulled Jiang Mingshun: "Dad, come here and take a look."

The two stood under a tree. Jiang Jinyu pointed to it and asked, "Dad, do you know what that is?"

Jiang Mingshun stared at it for a while and then hesitated: "...is it a bird's nest?"

Jiang Jinyu: "..." Well, it does look a bit like it.

However, she looked up suspiciously, how did her father know what a bird's nest looked like?

"I once went to a drug store to sell maltose, and someone happened to be buying bird's nests, so I took a sneak peek." Jiang Mingshun looked innocent.

He looked at the tree again and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "It turns out that bird's nests grow on trees."

Jiang Jinyu: "..."

"Dad, I don't think this is a bird's nest. It doesn't even have swallows, so how can it be called a bird's nest?" she said helplessly. "Yes," Jiang Mingshun suddenly realized: "Then what is this?"

Jiang Jinyu took the opportunity and said, "Since this thing looks so much like a bird's nest, how can it be valuable? How about we pick a few and go to the drug store in the city to ask?"

Not only are the people who grew up in the village good at climbing trees, they can at least climb up them.

Jiang Mingshun hugged the tree trunk and climbed to the place where the white fungus grew. He stepped on the branches, held the trunk with one hand, and picked the white fungus with the other.

He had never seen this thing before, so naturally he didn't know the best way to pick it off. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to uproot it.

The white fungus is not very high, so I finished picking a tree in less than a quarter of an hour.

Jiang Jinyu counted and found that there were nine flowers in total, six big ones and three small ones.

She put all the nine white fungi in her small backpack and followed Jiang Mingshun slowly down the mountain.

After returning home, Jiang Jinyu carefully poured the white fungus into the wooden basin and scooped a few ladles of water from the water tank into it.

Seeing that her daughter went to the kitchen as soon as she entered the house, Mrs. Bai couldn't help but follow her and asked strangely: "Mother Fish, what are you washing?"

Jiang Jinyu didn't even raise his head: "Picked it on the mountain, my father said you can take it to the drug store and sell it for money."

Jiang Mingshun, who had just put down the tree that had fallen down from the mountain, was panting from exhaustion: "..."

When did he say it?
Bai didn't care who said it. She only heard the words "can be sold for money" and showed a surprised smile: "Really?"

Jiang Jinyu nodded.

After receiving a positive reply, Mrs. Bai quickly pulled Jiang Jinyu up: "Mom, come and wash it. Your hands and feet are neither light nor heavy, so don't wash them badly."

Although she didn't know what it was or how to sell it for money, since it was going to be sold in a drug store, it must be medicine.

Someone in the village also dug up wild ginseng. Remembering that person said that because he accidentally dug up the wild ginseng, the item that could have been sold for two taels of silver ended up being sold for only six taels of silver. She became more and more lighthearted. intensity.

Jiang Jinyu was not angry after being squeezed away. She just didn't do things if she wasn't allowed to do them, and she was happy and relaxed.

Jiang Jinyu wiped her hands and stood next to Bai: "Mom, after washing them, let them dry in the verandah."

Jiang Mingshun, who was squatting nearby and watching, turned back in confusion: "Why?"

Jiang Jinyu said confidently: "I see, aren't all the medicinal materials in the drug store dried in the sun? Let's dry these too."

Bai and Jiang Mingshun suddenly realized that they had seen the medicinal materials and knew that the medicinal materials were dry. At this time, they thought that the medicinal materials became like that because they were dried in the sun.

Jiang Mingshun felt proud, and felt that his daughter's brain was really good. He took Jiang Jinyu's small backpack and took out a few flowers from it: "There are four more flowers here. I remember to wash them all."

Jiang Jinyu quickly stopped him: "Dad, if we don't wash these, we don't know how to sell them. What if they go bad if they are dried in the sun?"

"Keep these four flowers and take them to the drug store. Ask the shopkeeper how they sell these things."

Jiang Mingshun thought that it was indeed the case. When the time comes, whether the drug store collects fresh or dried ones, he can take them out. Wouldn't it be better?
Since we want to sell fresh food, the sooner the better.

After lunch, he immediately carried the remaining four white fungus into the city.
