The mulberry is a mushroom that grows on mulberry trees. It is hard, a bit like wood, and horseshoe-shaped.

‘Mulberry’ can also grow on poplars and willows, but only those that grow on mulberry trees can be called mulberry. The characteristics of mulberry are liver brown on the top, orange-yellow on the bottom, and bright yellow around the edge, so it is called mulberry.

Gu Liang explained the characteristics of mulberry to his uncle, and Gu Boxi also wrote it down seriously. It was from this that he knew that this medicinal material has such a big difference depending on the place where it grows.

Although it was the hottest summer, the sun was blazing, but it didn’t feel very hot in Dahei Mountain. Occasionally, passing by a mountain stream or a cave, you could feel a cool breeze.

The image of Dahei Mountain is not only dangerous, but sometimes there are small surprises, such as the place where Gu Liang and his uncle came today.

A waterfall fell from the sky, and the white waves hit the rocks. After many years, a stone pool was smashed out. The temperature of the stone pool is very low, which makes people feel a little cool even in summer.

However, what surprised Gu Liang was not the appearance of the stone pool, but the several bayberry trees that appeared next to the stone pool. It is now June, which is the season when bayberries are ripe. The wine-red bayberries are shining in the sun.

Gu Liang first discovered the stone pool. He was worried because he had finished drinking the water he brought, so he followed the sound of water to find this place. After finding the stone pool, Gu Liang couldn't wait to lie down and drink a few sips. It was really refreshing and exciting. But before Gu Liang had enough to drink, Da Xiong rushed into the stone pool with a splash, swimming freely, or in a standard dog-paddle style.

Gu Liang was angry and speechless. He hadn't drunk enough. The mountain stream water was especially cool and sweet, better than the one in their village. Gu Liang was arguing with Daxiong, while Gu Boxi on the side was much more stable. He looked around and found the bayberries around.

When Gu Boxi pointed it out to Gu Liang, Gu Liang cried out with joy. The bayberries on the trees were bright red, enough for him to achieve fruit freedom today.

In his previous life, Gu Liang only bought bayberries in supermarkets and had never seen a bayberry tree in real life. He didn't expect that this bayberry tree looked ordinary, but it could produce this tree of fruits.

Each wild bayberry is about the size of an ordinary cherry, much smaller than the ones bought in the fruit store, but the fragrance is rich, which can't be compared with the ones bought. Especially when some fruits are ripe and fall to the ground, they ferment and produce a bayberry-scented wine smell, which is also very good.

Gu Liang picked a red bayberry that was so red that it was almost black and put it in his mouth. The rich juice burst on the tip of his tongue and then spread throughout his mouth. Then he could clearly feel the sour saliva rising from both sides of his mouth. Gu Liang was shocked. It turned out that fresh bayberry felt like this. It was simply better than the supermarket fruit shelf. Each grain of fresh bayberry stored rich and sweet juice. The juice overflowed with a light touch of the teeth, while the ones bought from the supermarket tasted like chewing wax, numb and stale, as if chewing dregs.

Gu Liang only then understood why the ancients said: "The jade skin is half drunk and red, and the ink halo is slightly deep and dyed purple." "The taste is heavier than Heshuo grapes, and the color is deeper than Lunan lychees."

Gu Liang stuffed one by one into his mouth, and he really couldn't stop. With each one, he could feel the rich taste of sweet bayberry with sourness and sweetness mixed with sourness.

After eating it, the puppy Daxiong probably felt sour in his teeth, and he didn't want to eat it after eating a few. After eating some, Gu Boxi advised Gu Liang not to eat too much, because eating too much of this would easily make your teeth sour and burn your stomach. Gu Liang thought it made sense, so he stopped showing off.

But even though you can't eat too much, it doesn't mean you can't pick it back! Gu Liang suggested taking a break here at noon, and Gu Boxi definitely agreed. There was water and it was cool here, so it was just right to eat some steamed buns brought from home to replenish your energy.

Gu Boxi asked Gu Liang to come and eat steamed buns, but Gu Liang was busy picking bayberries and had no time to eat them, so he replied that his uncle should eat first.

Gu Liang used his small backpack to pick bayberries from the tree crazily. When he was full, he poured them into his space, and then continued to pick them, picking three backpacks in total.

Gu Liang was about to fill the fourth basket when he heard his uncle, who was resting on the bank of the pond, shouting, "Gu Liang, you've been picking herbs for half an hour. Stop picking herbs. Come and eat some quickly and then continue picking herbs. Didn't you say you wanted to go to the back of the mountain to take a look today? You have to hurry up."

Gu Liang heard his uncle urging him, and there was nothing he could do.

, they had to give up the remaining bayberries on the tree and go to meet up with Uncle San.

Uncle San looked at Gu Liang's backpack filled with almost half a basket of bayberries and said, "Good boy, if you eat all of this, your front teeth will probably be sour."

"No, Uncle San, this is for grandpa, grandma and sisters." Gu Liang said embarrassedly, in fact, he was going to stuff half of the basket into the space.

Gu Boxi smiled and replied, "Oh, in that case, then let's pick some more. If you didn't say it, I would have forgotten to pick some to take home."

Gu Liang stopped Gu Boxi who was walking towards the bayberry tree and said, "Hey, Uncle San, don't need it, this much is enough!"

"This thing doesn't cost money, just pick more!" Gu Boxi said as he walked towards the bayberry tree.

Less than half a minute later, Gu Boxi turned back and said with a smile: "Hehe, this bayberry tree looked like it had a lot of fruits when I first found it. I didn't expect that you only picked half a basket, and there was nothing left on the other two trees."

"Yeah, it looks like a lot," Gu Liang said with an awkward smile, afraid that his uncle would find out that it wasn't that the tree had few fruits, but that he had picked them all and put them in the space. He quickly laughed and said, "Maybe they are ripe and on the ground. Uncle, let's go quickly. We still have to go to the back of this mountain to have a look!"

So Gu Liang quickly pulled his uncle up and hurriedly climbed to the back mountain. In less than an incense stick of time, they crossed the top of the mountain. The vegetation in the direction they came from was mainly trees, but they didn't expect that there were few trees in this area, and most of them were grass.

Maybe it's because there are too many stones in the back mountain, so no tall trees can grow, Gu Liang thought as he looked at the several boulders exposed not far away.

There was a patch of white wild flowers under the boulders not far away, and clusters of flowers swayed with the mountain breeze. What is this flower? Gu Liang took another look and saw that the white flowers were clearly wild lilies!

Gu Liang quickly called his uncle to come over to dig lilies. Such a large area would definitely sell for a good price if they carried it home. Gu Liang and his team spent half an hour digging a full basket, which was estimated to weigh dozens of kilograms. There were still a few lily bushes growing in the distance on the back mountain, but unfortunately there was no room for more, so they had to give up and dig them back later.

It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon. If he returned home later, it would be dark. Gu Liang quickly packed up his things and hurried back.

But before leaving, Gu Liang also picked up a bunch of lilies and put them in his backpack with bayberries. Uncle Gu Boxi asked in confusion: "Gu Liang, is this lily also a medicine?"

Gu Liang smiled and explained: "Uncle, this flower is not a medicine, it is our dish tonight."

"Is it a dish?" Gu Boxi was shocked by Gu Liang's statement. Apart from daylily, he had never heard of other flowers being edible. Moreover, people often say that medicine is three-point poisonous. This lily is also a medicine!

"Uncle, let's go back quickly and wait for me to cook it for you tonight!"
