Zhao Shiying was put in the backpack again today, and this time even Azhi couldn't save her.

Because it is really tiring to go up the mountain with a baby in your arms.

The key is that it is very easy to fall, it rained yesterday.

Fortunately, Zhao Shiying was very well behaved and did not cause any trouble to Wang Ronghua while sitting in the backpack.

Because she had a bamboo dragonfly in her hand.

This was given to me by my uncle Wang Yueshan.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, several people began to search.

Azhi was a little confused. How could there be mushrooms and fungus, so delicious, on a mountain full of weeds, bushes and big trees?

Looking at the Zhao family members walking in front of him, hunching their backs and bending over to search in the grass, Azhi felt like crying but had no tears.

In fact, no one noticed that he was a bit of a germaphobe, and there was still some dew on the weeds, so all his clothes would be wet.

Zhao Shihui glanced back and found that Azhi had not caught up.

"Azhi, come up quickly and don't fall behind. You'll cry if you can't find us." Zhao Shihui said and then he laughed.

Azhi: “…” I can’t be looked down upon by a little brat.

"Sir, why don't we go back?" The servant beside him saw Azhi's hesitation.

"Why go back? I'm already here, the worst that can happen is I get wet." After saying this, Azhi raised his foot and walked up the mountain with a righteous look.

He didn’t fight for the bread, but for his dignity. It would just make his clothes wet and his body sticky and uncomfortable for a while. How could he bear it!!!

Azhi was so focused on walking that he didn't notice the look Wang Ronghua gave him, which was filled with smile and satisfaction.

After all, a young master who doesn't know the five grains is just an ignorant child. In order to lay the foundation for becoming a playboy, only by knowing the sufferings of the people can he cherish everything he has and develop the spirit of hard work and endurance.

"Wow, I found hazel mushrooms." Zhao Shisheng shouted happily.

"Let me see." Zhao Shihui quickly ran over to take a look, and Azhi also took a few quick steps out of curiosity.

"Brother, you are so lucky. You actually found a large area." Zhao Shihui was really envious. This is glory.

"Today's good start is a winning one." Zhao Guocheng grinned. There are quite a few, just this one piece and this one basket are for sure.

"Everyone, please look nearby. You will definitely find it." Wang Ronghua reminded with a smile.

Azhi thought about it and decided that he also had to find a large area of ​​mushrooms.

He quickly ran forward, and this time he looked particularly carefully, not afraid of getting his clothes dirty or his body wet. It turned out that one still needs to have a goal.

Zhao Guocheng has already dug up a lot of wild vegetables. There are still a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain at this season, but many of them are old, so he can only pick the tender tips.

"Mom, what is this?" Zhao Shimin looked at a patch of bare tree sticks over there. There were only a few leaves on the top of the tree, some big and some small. She didn't know what kind of tree it was.

At this time, Wang Ronghua just carried Zhao Shiying out, and Zhao Shiying didn't want to stay in the basket.

Wang Ronghua looked in the direction Zhao Shimin pointed.

"I don't see it either. This thing is useless. It grows every year and is like this every year. Some villagers picked it and ate it, and some even got poisoned. They hired a doctor and spent a lot of money. We should stay away from this thing." Wang Ronghua shook her head. She had heard this from Zhao Guocheng before.

"This thing is called the Chinese toon tree. Villagers usually cut it to build racks for cucumbers and beans. Of course, the ones used to build racks are small ones. The bigger ones are usually used as firewood. This thing is not poisonous as long as you don't eat it." Zhao Guocheng glanced at the patch of Chinese toon trees over there.

Zhao Shiying [Toona sinensis tree? Toona sinensis buds? Isn't this a top-notch ingredient? Furniture made of Toona sinensis wood is very expensive, so how can it be used to build a rack for cucumbers and beans? Can cucumbers and beans afford it? ]

Everyone in the Zhao family except Ah Zhi and the servant: "......." Can this thing be eaten? Can it be used as furniture?

Wang Ronghua secretly carried Zhao Shiying a little further away and asked quietly, "Nannan, are you serious? Can this tree be eaten?"

This is what Wang Ronghua cares about most, because if it can be eaten, it can be sold for money, but she doesn't have the skills to make furniture, so she won't take on this porcelain work.

[You can’t eat the tree, but the leaves on the top of the tree, called Chinese toon buds, are edible. They can be picked in April and May, but there shouldn’t be many left now. Mom, pick them quickly. This fried egg is delicious.] The name of the dish suddenly flashed through Zhao Shiying’s mind.

"Okay, we must pick them. But someone in this village picked them and ate them and got poisoned. What if someone in our family ate them to death?" Wang Ronghua hesitated again.

Toona sinensis: Even number of leaves, no sap, fragrant smell, black bark

Ailanthus altissima: has an odd number of leaves at the top, smells bad, tastes bitter

Rhus sap: contains sap that is poisonous and tasteless

Walnut buds: no fragrance, heart-shaped leaves, smooth white bark

[That must be because they picked the wrong ones. Toona sinensis sprouts are very similar to stinking toon, lacquer tree sprouts, and walnut sprouts. If you fry them without blanching them, they will definitely kill you. And if the Toona sinensis sprouts are old, they may cause problems if they are not handled properly. Toona sinensis sprouts themselves are not poisonous, but they contain nitrites. The older the sprouts, the higher the content. So we pick the youngest ones, the most tender ones, and blanch them in water when we go back to cook.] Zhao Shiying thought for a while and said.

"So that's how it is. What is nitrite?" Wang Ronghua also had a question at this time. It was a good character of the Zhao family to ask when she didn't understand.

[It is a toxic substance, I am not sure about the details.] Zhao Shiying shook her head.

"Okay, I'll listen to Nannan and pick the tenderest ones." Wang Ronghua made up her mind. It is said that wealth and honor are achieved through risk, so she must give it a try.

After all, several kinds of wild vegetables are no longer available, so it would be better if we could have some toon sprouts as a substitute. There are most old ones here, but there are also many tender ones.

There is a large area of ​​Chinese toon trees, and Wang Ronghua thinks they can definitely be sold for a lot of money.

If we pick them a few months earlier next year, we can sell them for more money.

Wang Ronghua felt hot inside when she thought of this.

"Acheng, Shimin, come over here, let's pick toon buds." Wang Ronghua shouted with a smile.

Toona sinensis sprouts?

Just as Zhao Guocheng was about to say it was poisonous, he was interrupted by Wang Ronghua.

At this time, both of them came to Wang Ronghua.

"Nannan said that this is not poisonous. It is poisonous because we picked the old ones and fried them without blanching them. If we picked the young ones and blanched them before stir-frying, then there would be no problem and they would taste good." Wang Ronghua said seriously.

Zhao Guocheng was half-believing and half-doubting.

Zhao Shimin didn't feel anything. She thought what her younger sister said was definitely right, so she went to pick the fruits without saying a word.

She didn't find any mushrooms anyway.

Zhao Guocheng still went to pick it because he also believed in the little girl.

At worst, it's just a waste of time. You can go back and try it to see if it's edible.

While the children here had picked two baskets of Chinese toon, a few children over there were also going crazy picking mushrooms.

Because Azhi found a large area that they had never seen before.

The entire slope was covered with them, in the cracks between the rocks, in the grass, and under the tree stumps.

This piece alone was enough to fill all of their cloth bags and backpacks.

"Ahhh, someone come quickly, Mom and Dad, there are mushrooms everywhere, so many." Zhao Shihui was the first to scream, because he had never seen such a large area of ​​mushrooms popping up, it was really too unreal.

It feels like you can make money just by lying down.

"Stop talking nonsense and pick them up quickly. Your loud voices will attract others and our mushrooms will be divided up." Azhi is a man who knows the pros and cons.

"Azhi is right, pick them quickly and don't shout." Wang Ronghua came over and said, holding Zhao Shiying.

She was also shocked to see so many mushrooms. After picking mushrooms for so many years, this was the first time she had seen mountains and piles of mushrooms. Azhi was lucky.

Zhao Shiying blinked.

It’s always mushrooms, but no animals?
