Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

It took more than an hour to dig a few plants of Chinese yam, and the thick rhizomes were sold to the system, with 35 kilograms sold for a total of 17.5 yuan.

"Yes, although the herbs in the deep mountains are difficult to dig, they are more valuable than the grass on the roadside."

Lin Shu was very satisfied. He earned 17.5 yuan in just over an hour, which was much faster than making money at work.

There was a patch of holly next to it, and Lin Shu did not disdain it. He cut all the holly leaves and sold them to the system. Holly leaves were also 50 cents a pound. Although not as heavy as wild yam, they did not require digging the soil, so they were easier to harvest than wild yam.

This piece of holly leaf was sold for 7 yuan, and the system balance exceeded 216.6 yuan again, showing yuan.

If I work hard this morning and earn a few more dollars, I can make up for the expenses of visiting relatives this time.

"Wow!"

“Lots of fir mushrooms!”

After cutting the holly leaves, I entered a fir forest, but unexpectedly I found a patch of fir fungi growing on the ground.

Fir mushrooms are also called pine milk mushrooms, goose mushrooms, and pine mushrooms. They belong to the Russula family and are considered to be a precious edible mushroom that grows under fir trees. They grow mostly from March to May or from September to November each year and like to grow in pine forests or mixed broad-leaved forests.

Lin Shu stood in the fir forest and could smell the unique fragrance of this fungus.

This kind of fir mushroom tastes very good whether it is boiled in soup, stir-fried fresh, or dried and soaked and used to stir-fry meat.

[Ding, I found pine milk mushrooms. Pine milk mushrooms have the effects of relaxing muscles and tendons, dispelling wind and cold, tender meat, delicious taste, and contain amino acids, crude protein, crude fat and other substances required by the human body. It is worth five yuan per catty. ]

"Tsk, this is really a good thing. Even the system can't wait to remind you."

And the acquisition value is not low.

What are you waiting for? Go pick it.

Fortunately, Lin Shu carried the basket up the mountain, threw the small mushrooms into the basket, and threw the grown mushrooms to the system.

If they are served on the table, the smaller mushrooms will definitely taste better. The larger ones are actually too ripe and not as fresh as the smaller ones.

The system wanted to protest, but there was nothing it could do. It was just a system, and its protest would be ignored by the host.

When the system balance exceeds 300 yuan, the basket in my hand is full and there is still a large piece left. The mushrooms grow very fast. If I don’t pick them today, half of them will rot by tomorrow, and almost all of them will rot the day after tomorrow.

Lin Shu looked at the spots of sunlight shining on the ground. It was almost noon. If she brought food up the mountain, she would not want to go back at noon, but that was not possible in reality.

If she doesn't go back at noon, I'm sure her family will be worried sick, and they might even ask relatives and friends in the village to go up the mountain to look for her.

Lin Shu returned to the village carrying a basket of fir mushrooms. Everyone he met would ask him where he picked them.

Lin Shu would always answer with a smile that he picked it up in the mountains. As for where he picked it up, the villagers knew their limits and would not ask too many details.

When I got home, everyone in my family had returned from work.

"What a capable person! How come you take longer than your niece to cut a basket of pig grass when you are such a grown-up? Xiaoyu and the others came back in the morning." When Liu Xiao'e saw her coming back, she walked out of the house.

I just saw that there were no green pigweeds coming out of her basket. I was about to say something, but when I got closer, I saw, "Wow! Where did you pick so many mushrooms?"

Lin Dashan came out of the house when he heard the exclamation. Seeing the mushrooms in the basket, he smiled and asked, "Hey, they are all fir mushrooms, all very fresh. Youngest, did you go up the mountain?"

"Well, now is the time when mushrooms grow on the mountain. I wanted to try my luck, but unexpectedly I really found the nest of fir mushrooms. You see, I picked up a basket, and that piece was just a small piece." Lin Shu said proudly.

It will be impossible to find such a large area of ​​mushrooms on the mountain again in a few decades. So while you have discovered it now, pick more and dry them, and save them for later consumption. You know, the taste of this pure natural mushroom is really amazing.

"Are there any more on the mountain?"

"Well, I plan to go out with a basket after lunch."

Lin Dashan looked at Liu Xiaoe and said, "Have your mother accompany you up the mountain this afternoon to pick up all the peppers. When they are ripe, you can use these dried mushrooms to soak and stir-fry the peppers. They will taste good and be a great dish to go with wine."

Thinking about the deliciousness of fir mushrooms, Lin Dashan couldn't help but smack his lips.

"The fresh soup is also very delicious. I will select half a pot and ask the boss to cook it."

Liu Xiao'e went into the kitchen and took out a basin. She also took down the drying mat hanging under the eaves. "Youngest, go have a drink of water first and then come over to help pick out these mushrooms and put them on the bamboo mat. They should be half-dried after drying for half a day."

At this time, Lu Yinhua came out and said with a smile: "Mom, let my little sister go in and have a rest. I will take care of the drying."

After running for half a day in the mountains, it was very tiring. Someone understood him, and Lin Shu felt warm in his heart. "Thank you, second sister-in-law. You have worked hard here."

At lunch time, several men came out of their rooms and found that in addition to the usual pickles, green vegetables and fried lotus root with meat, there was also a bowl of mushroom soup on the table. There was surprise in everyone's eyes.

The situation at the educated youth camp was different from that of the Lin family. Since several educated youths cooked together and there were not many vegetables produced from their private plots at that time of year, the only things on their table were olive buns and pickles.

Moreover, there have been only these two dishes at every meal during this period, and everyone has long been tired of them.

Kong Handong took a bite of the salty and bitter pickles and suggested, "When I came back today, I met Comrade Lin Shu. She picked up a lot of mushrooms from the mountain. In order to improve our food, after lunch, I suggest that everyone not take a nap, but go up the mountain together to look for some mushrooms to improve our food."

Xi Dali frowned, "Comrade Kong, we started planting rice today. We have been busy bending over for a long time, and we are not allowed to rest at noon. We will not be able to bear it in the afternoon."

He doesn't have high requirements for food, he just wants to be full and doesn't have much requirements on the taste.

Zhu Zhengliang didn't want to be a slave for half a day and had to go hiking without a break at noon, but he wanted to eat mushrooms, so he said, "How about letting the female comrades go? They are more careful than us and should be better at finding mushrooms than us. When we work in the afternoon, we can help them do more."

Qi Xiaoyun paused while eating and sneered in her heart. People like Zhu Zhengliang are probably the ones who are lazy and greedy.

"I have no objection." Wei Miao glanced at everyone and said in a low voice.

Qi Xiaoyun smiled and said, "It would be a waste of time to go up the mountain at noon and we might not be able to find mushrooms. How about Miaomiao and I go to the mountain to look for mushrooms in the afternoon, and you three men can complete our task in the afternoon?"

"This..." Kong Handong felt bitter. Three people were doing the work of five people. His waist would either break from exhaustion or become disabled.

Zhu Zhengliang smiled awkwardly: "If you ask me, the mushrooms in the mountains are not as delicious as the loaches in the paddy fields. Although loaches have little meat, at least they are meaty."

This made the five people recall the deliciousness of the loach last time. What they didn't know was that the less than two kilograms of loach they caught last time almost ended up on someone else's table.
