The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

"Sister, can we go up the mountain? I also want to go up the mountain and take a look. Who knows, I might run into brother."

Zhou Mingqin was a little hesitant. She didn't dare to make a decision on her own without her grandmother's permission.

Seeing her hesitating, Zhou Mingshu knew that she would not agree.

"Okay, big sister, we don't have any fresh wild vegetables at home. My second sister and I will go dig some wild vegetables."

Seeing that they were not going into the mountain, Zhou Mingqin agreed readily and told the two not to run too far.

Zhou Mingqi picked up a small shovel and followed her out the door.

She foolishly thought that they were really going to pick wild vegetables, so she went to the hillside where she often picked wild vegetables, squatted down and looked carefully for them.

"Second sister, let's go into the mountains first to see if we can see Big Brother Xiaojie and the others. If we can't find them, we can come back and dig wild vegetables."

Zhou Mingshu's lips curled up and he raised his eyebrows while speaking. Zhou Mingqi found it very interesting.

"Okay, okay, teach me how you move one eyebrow. Why can't I do it? I can only move them together."

Zhou Mingshu didn't expect that her second sister's focus would be so strange, but she still taught her very seriously. However, Zhou Mingqi was too stupid and didn't learn how to act cool. Instead, he became uglier the more he learned.

"Second sister, don't learn this. If you keep wrinkling your face, you'll look like an old man."

Zhou Mingqi tried for a while but didn't learn it, and his face became a little stiff.

"Okay, let's try again another day."

Although the sun had been out for most of the day, the humidity in the mountains was still very high, and before they had climbed for long their straw sandals were soaked by the rain water on the grass.

"Oh, we shouldn't have gone into the mountains. Our shoes are dirty again." The mud stuck to the soles of his shoes couldn't be shaken off.

"It's okay, I can just find a stone to scrape it later." They had only walked for a short while when they started to back out. Zhou Mingshu hadn't heard the system beep yet, so it was impossible for him to go back.

The two sisters found a clean stone to sit on and picked up stone chips to scrape the mud off the soles of their shoes.

"Oh my god, the road ahead is so slippery. We have to be careful. Otherwise, it's all hard rocks and it will hurt if we fall."

Zhou Mingshu turned his head and saw that the rocks and the cracks in the grass were covered with densely packed seaweed-like things.

Throwing away the stone in her hand, she tried to move closer to these things.

The system started beeping.

It turns out that this is a dish called ground ear.

It feels wet and sticky when you pinch it in your hand, and feels a bit like wood ear.

"Second sister, do you dare to eat this?"

"What? Such disgusting things are dishes? Can you eat them?"

"Hehe, when it's cooked, it will be delicious. Who can say for sure? But you really got it right. This thing is really a vegetable. It's called ground ear, which is similar to wood ear. It will grow when it comes into contact with water, and shrink when exposed to the sun. Let's pick more and carry them home later."

Zhou Mingqi frowned, looking unwilling.

There are a lot of rocks in this area and the grass doesn't grow very lush. When it rains, this stuff is everywhere, piece by piece. It's a bit dizzying to look at, and there are so many that it's hard to know where to start.

But Zhou Mingshu didn't care about all that. He squatted down and started picking them up. He didn't need to pick them out. He could just take them all. They were all fat.

Seeing San Ya picking up the trash happily, Zhou Mingqi gritted his teeth and started picking up the trash.

Can you really eat this wet thing in your hand? She was full of doubts. How should you eat it? Should you pinch your nose and swallow it?

Wouldn't that be even more unpalatable than wild vegetable porridge?

But thinking that something as unpalatable as the sheep dung snail could be made so fragrant by her, Zhou Mingqi suppressed his unreliable thoughts and continued picking the ground ear vegetables.

Two people each picked up some, and together they were enough for a whole pot of dish. It was their first time eating this, so just eat in moderation. Besides, this thing was very difficult to make, so if their family didn't like it, they wouldn't have to waste their efforts.

If everyone in the family likes it, they can come out and pick it up.

"Second sister, let's go. We picked too much and we can't finish eating it. It's too heavy to carry."

Zhou Mingqi nodded and followed her pace.

Zhou Mingshu had a feeling that there must be good things in the mountains, otherwise his elder brother Xiaojie wouldn’t be so excited.

The further you go inside, the more humid the air becomes.

As they talked, they picked up a thicker branch to use as a walking stick.

There were footprints on the road, so the two followed the footprints to find their eldest brother, and soon they arrived at the bamboo forest.

From a distance you can see two people with their butts sticking up, busy with something.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Zhou Mingqi became excited when he saw people. Along the way, the two of them only picked up some ground ears and hadn't found anything edible.

“Bamboo shoots, lots of bamboo shoots!”

Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie were so happy that there were piles of bamboo shoots on the ground that they had picked.

These bamboo shoots are not very big and are picked off as soon as the tip appears.

Bamboo shoots are good things, fresh, tender and sweet, and they are delicious when stir-fried with vegetables. If you can’t finish them, you can dry them and store them as winter food. This is exactly why Zhou Mingzhi and his friends are so happy. Who would want to eat wild vegetables when they can eat bamboo shoots?

Zhou Mingshu rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves and started picking bamboo shoots, one in each hand. The crisp sound of picking bamboo shoots was endless. In the quiet bamboo forest, the only sounds were footsteps, and it was peaceful and tranquil.

Xiao Jie took the opportunity to put the bamboo shoots into his backpack. His and his eldest brother's backpacks were almost full, and his second and third sisters came over with empty backpacks. Now they could fill two more backpacks, which was great.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up a handful of bamboo shoots and stuffed them in. What was that sticky stuff at the bottom of the basket? It looked so disgusting.

He was about to pour it out, but there was some in his second sister's backpack. Why was he picking up this thing? Could it be eaten?

Without thinking too much, he stuffed all the bamboo shoots in.

Zhou Mingzhi seemed to have thought of something and shouted at him to stop carrying so much, otherwise they would not be able to carry it.

However, there were not so many bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. After a while, the four of them had picked all the larger bamboo shoots in the forest.

As for the remaining ones that have just been unearthed, we will have to wait a little longer.

"I told you it wouldn't be a waste. The backpack is almost full."

There was a happy smile on his face, but his body was soaked with sweat.

"Brother, let's get out of this bamboo forest. The air in here is so stuffy."

A few people carried their backpacks and wanted to go down the mountain, but Zhou Mingshu pointed out a warning.

Putting the filled backpacks here, they went up the mountain empty-handed to see if there were any mushrooms.

It was still early, so after they agreed, they went up the mountain.

There were ground lettuce everywhere in the mountains, so Zhou Mingjie asked why they were picked.

After I explained everything one by one and found that the dishes were edible, they finally agreed.

The wild vegetables in the mountains grew lush and fat, but she didn't want to pick them.

These wild vegetables were not very common, and she didn't know how to eat them. Even if she picked them, it would be difficult to explain to her family.

She hoped to pick some mushrooms and wood ears, or discover one or two Chinese medicinal herbs.

But they still didn't dare to climb too high in the mountains, and only picked up some wood ears and common mushrooms on the way.
