Hearing her shout, the three people walking in front immediately stopped.

Zhou Mingyuan let go of his grandmother's sleeve and ran over to see what kind of mushroom it was.

This mushroom is white with a bit of gray on it, very close to the color of soil, and you can't find it unless you look carefully.

"Ouch, it's tiger's paw mushroom."

Old Mrs. Zhou slapped her thigh, then squatted down and started picking.

Everyone recognized a new type of mushroom and dared to pick it when they saw it next time.

After picking all the tiger paw mushrooms, there were a big handful left. Old Mrs. Zhou put them into the backpack on Zhou Mingzhi's shoulder and clapped her hands.

"This tiger's paw mushroom is delicious when used to make soup. Let's use it to make soup for lunch."

After walking a few steps forward, Mrs. Zhou's sharp eyes spotted another patch of tiger paw mushrooms.

Because the weather is a bit hot and the sun is shining, the tiger's paw mushroom looks tender, but it has become hard when you touch it.

But it doesn’t matter, you can also use it to make soup.

Old Mrs. Zhou picked another large bunch of fruits. Everyone was very happy. This trip was quite a harvest.

With this unexpected gain, everyone walked very carefully.

Maybe there is a nest of mushrooms hidden somewhere.

I wish I could use my two eyes separately, one to look at the road under my feet, and the other to look for mushrooms.

The four people walked and looked until they reached the foot of the mountain, but they did not find any more mushrooms.

However, Zhou Mingshu's system kept prompting that there were wild vegetables around.

But she didn't care about it, as there were enough wild vegetables at home to eat.

"Grandma, you should take us into the mountains more often. There are so many good things in the mountains, but we don't know what they are, especially my brother and his friends. When they see them, they think they are poisonous and can't be eaten. If we hadn't come here today, these sweet osmanthus would have rotted in the mountains. What a pity."

When Old Mrs. Zhou thought about it, she realized that it was indeed the case.

Usually, the eldest brother would take a few children up the mountain to chop and collect firewood. They were a bunch of men and knew nothing, so they just bundled up the firewood and went down the mountain.

I won’t pick up anything that doesn’t touch my face, so the children don’t recognize it.

Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. If you don’t know anything, what’s the point of eating?

"Okay, I'll take you into the mountains more often in the future. After a while, there will be more people picking mushrooms in the mountains. I, an old lady, will feel more at ease if I have someone to keep me company."

"Grandma, don't worry, nothing will happen. We are all grown up."

Old Mrs. Zhou looked at her grandson and realized that he had indeed grown up and his ambitions were even higher than hers.

"Haha, good, it's good to grow up."

In the past, she always felt that the children were too young to do the dirty or tiring work. There were many mosquitoes and insects in the mountains, as well as mountain snakes and wild boars. If any of the children had an accident because of this, it would be more painful than having her heart cut out.

When we got home, the clothes of the three sisters-in-law had already been hung out to dry.

Zhou Mingjie spread out the bundles of firewood and hung them out to dry in the yard.

"Mom, you're back. What are we going to eat for lunch? We're just about to make it."

Mrs. Liu came forward with great tact and helped her son take down the backpack.

Looking at the things in the backpack, her originally calm eyes suddenly lit up.

"Oh my god, we picked so many mushrooms. Are we going to eat them for lunch?"

My youngest son told me that they found a lot of wood ear mushrooms on the mountain, and later discovered fragrant mulberry, and now there is tiger paw mushroom. This is really a pleasant surprise.

Liu took a few mushrooms and looked at them in her hand. These tiger paw mushrooms were a bit hard. It seemed that the sun was still too strong recently.

She hoped it would rain soon so that more mushrooms would appear in the mountains.

Zhu and Feng also came over to watch, and Zhou Lao and his two daughters also came to watch.

The adults knew these mushrooms, but the children didn't. But now they all recognize them.

"Well, let's have mushrooms for lunch today, and make the corn porridge thicker."

As soon as Old Lady Zhou spoke, the rest of the people started to get busy.

Zhou Mingqi pulled Zhou Mingshu aside and said, "Second sister, I changed the water for those sheep dung snails. The water has become much muddier this morning."

"Yeah, you are really diligent, second sister. I was planning to change the water at noon. After changing the water, they will spit out the sand faster. We can prepare to eat them at noon tomorrow."

The two sisters were talking and laughing, while Zhou Mingqin and her aunt had already started cleaning the mushrooms.

A few boys went into the mountains and were bitten by mosquitoes to varying degrees.

When I was washing, I saw large patches of red pimples on my arms and back.

It makes people feel their scalp tingling when they see it.

"Brother, Xiaojie, are you itchy? There are so many bumps."

Zhou Mingqi turned his face away and trembled his body.

If this lump grew on her body, she would cry to death.

"Itchy, how could it not itch?"

Zhou Mingjie stretched out his hand and scratched it, and it was torn after a few scratches.

There is nothing we can do about it; there are too many insects in the mountains.

Zhou Mingyuan, who was standing next to him, also had a few on him, but not many, and Zhu felt very distressed when she saw it.

But after comparing the two, Zhou Mingshu realized that his elder brother Xiaojie had a physique that attracted mosquitoes, while Mingyuan was not easily attracted to mosquitoes.

She and her grandmother had been in the mountains for so long that she herself had one or two bumps from mosquito bites, and her grandmother had many bumps on the back of her hands and forehead.

If this starts to itch, it's really unbearable.

"Do you have any anti-itching ointment at home? It might feel better if I apply it on."

"I don't have that stuff at home. I heard that it's very expensive in town. For poor people like us, we can just endure it for a few days and the itching will go away."

That's true. The villagers just spit and wipe it, but whether it works or not is another matter.

She scratched the pimple on the back of her hand, it was itchy. There was no pimple at home, but there was one in her system!

After returning to the house, Zhou Mingshu directly exchanged it for a bottle of antibacterial, antipruritic and soothing cream.

As soon as I applied it, I felt cool and refreshed, and the itchiness on the back of my hands was much relieved.

This soothing balm is only the size of a lipstick, but it is worth 15 points.

As the weather gets hotter, there will be more and more mosquitoes.

You can apply it on those who have been bitten to relieve inflammation and pain, and you can also apply it on those who have not been bitten to prevent it.

Isn't that good.

Looking at the anti-itching cream in his hand, Zhou Mingshu carefully read the ingredient list. The main ingredients of this cream are mugwort and mint.

The raw materials are easy to obtain, and they can be found everywhere in the village and in the mountains.

So how do we make anti-itching ointment from these raw materials?

Zhou Mingshu didn’t understand and couldn’t do it, so he could only exchange books in the system for reference.

After studying for a while, she finally understood it.

It turns out that anti-itch ointment is so easy to make, she can definitely make it.

Once it’s finished, not only can it be used by family members, but it can also be sold, killing two birds with one stone.

Hiding the book and ointment, Zhou Mingshu came out of the house.

"Second sister, second sister, I have thought of a good way to repel mosquitoes. Let's go out and find some mugwort leaves."

Pulling Zhou Mingqi, Zhou Mingshu wanted to run out the door.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Go after you've eaten. The rice in the pot is ready."

It was because Old Mrs. Zhou stopped the two sisters from going that they were able to go.
