A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Shen Jiaren searched the manor system for a long time and found that there was indeed a function key called Plant Collection.

Shen Jiaren clicked on it and saw that this plant search function was very similar to the search box she had used on her computer before. You need to enter the name and category of the search and click search to start using it.

Shen Jiaren thought about it. Since she was going into the mountains to pick up things, based on her previous experience of picking up pine cones on the mountains outside, as well as the random tasks of the manor that she had triggered at that time, Shen Jiaren wondered if she could also search in the manor to see how to use this function key.

Shen Jiaren entered "pine cone" in the search box and clicked "search". She found that the search purpose options appeared below the task interface box, which were within 100 meters of the task point, within 300 meters of the task point, and within 500 meters of the task point. Shen Jiaren saw that the button within 500 meters of the task point was gray. Shen Jiaren clicked the button within 300 meters of the task point. After clicking, she found that the task interface showed the route indication and the target route map.

Shen Jiaren saw a bunch of densely packed words below the route, so she clicked on the target route map. She found that the place where she was lying was a red dot, the place where the plants needed to be collected was a red exclamation mark, and then there were densely packed red arrows marking it. Shen Jiaren looked at these densely packed instructions and almost had trypophobia. Shen Jiaren clicked on one of the arrows and found that after clicking to confirm, a local zoom function would appear.

Shen Jiaren stood up, took her equipment for picking up things in the mountains, and prepared to follow the arrows to go into the mountains to pick up pine cones.

After Shen Jiaren followed the arrow into the mountain, she found that it was different with the golden finger. There were fallen pine needles under the pine trees. If she went into the mountain blindly to pick them up, it would be like picking up pine cones on the mountain outside before. She would have to pick up all the pine needles before she could find the pine cones. But now with this golden finger, Shen Jiaren was like having a cheating artifact. She could ignore other visual obstructions and go straight to the target.

This time they were picking things up in the mountains of the manor. Shen Jiaren was not afraid of being discovered by others, and she didn't have to worry about anything. She just picked up pine cones. Whenever the bamboo basket on her back was full, Shen Jiaren would go out of the manor directly, pour the pine cones in the basket onto the awning, and then go back into the mountains of the manor to continue picking up pine cones.

Because she didn't have to consider other people or other things, Shen Jiaren carried the pine cones back and forth several times. After she saw that there were pine cones under the shed, she stopped picking up pine cones.

Shen Jiaren stood under the awning in the yard and thought about it. If she picked pine cones, she wouldn't be able to eat much by herself, and it would be a problem to clean them up later. However, who knows if she could sell the pine nuts she picked later for money.

But at this time, the awning is already full, and the pine cones that have been picked up need to be collected again. There is not much point in picking up pine cones again. Even if you want to pick them up again, you have to wait until you have put away the firewood and pine needles drying under the awning and put them in the kitchen to leave space for drying before you can pick them up again.

Thinking of collecting firewood and going to the kitchen, Shen Jiaren remembered that Liu Hui asked her to find an axe for her to chop firewood last time, but he still hadn't brought it. Although there was an axe in the warehouse of her manor, if she took it out rashly, she would have to explain to others after chopping firewood. It would be too troublesome. It's better to have less trouble than more. Anyway, she didn't need firewood for her meals now. There was still a chance to ask Liu Hui when the axe could be delivered. When she found someone to chop firewood for her, she could also build a small house in the yard to store firewood for burning in winter. After all, the kitchen couldn't hold much now.

Shen Jiaren thought about what else she could pick up in this season, but because she had little experience in real life, she didn't know what she could find in the mountains in this season. Shen Jiaren thought of the mushrooms in the chicken soup she had last time, and thought that since it was in the mountains, there must be different kinds of mushrooms, so she thought about whether she could find any mushrooms in the mountains.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren typed "mushroom" in the search box, and suddenly found options such as hazel mushroom, thigh mushroom, white shiitake mushroom, chicken oil mushroom, egg yellow mushroom, grass flower face, white sticky mushroom, pine mushroom, red mushroom, trumpet mushroom, broom mushroom, thunder nest mushroom, pink purple shiitake mushroom, hericium erinaceus, Yuan mushroom, green mushroom, elm yellow mushroom, morel, hairy mushroom, matsutake, yellow boletus, chicken mushroom, shiitake mushroom, oyster mushroom, straw mushroom, etc. When Shen Jiaren saw these densely packed mushrooms, although she didn't know what they were, there were other yellow boletus, matsutake, chicken mushroom and several other mushrooms that she couldn't see at the time. She had eaten them when she was traveling in Yunnan Province before. These mushrooms and mushrooms were delicious in stews and stir-fried dishes, especially the stir-fried dishes of yellow boletus. The taste was really memorable. The direct manifestation of this delicious memory was that Shen Jiaren felt a lot of saliva secreted in her mouth when she thought about it.

After swallowing her saliva, Shen Jiaren directly clicked on the option of yellow chanterelles. Then the system interface of the manor showed the route instructions and the target route map. Shen Jiaren then clicked on the arrow closest to her on the target route map and walked towards it, ready to pick mushrooms.

Shen Jiaren followed the arrow to the task collection point and saw that there were indeed fungi on the ground. Shen Jiaren looked at these mushrooms and couldn't help but have a headache. She found them but didn't know how to pick them up. What should she do? If not, she should check the system to see if there is an operation guide or something like the previous collection task.

Shen Jiaren opened the manor task panel and found that there were option buttons for picking skills and precautions below the task interface panel.

Shen Jiaren clicked the button for picking tips and precautions, and saw the following words written on it:

Picking mushrooms tips and precautions:

1. Be gentle: When picking mushrooms, be gentle and do not pull them forcefully, so as not to break the roots of the mushrooms and affect their growth. When picking and storing, pay attention to protecting the mushroom bodies and avoid bumps.

2. Choose intact mushrooms: When picking, you should choose clean and intact mushrooms, with the cap and the stalk intact. After picking, you should pay attention to restoring and protecting the place where the mushrooms were picked to avoid damaging the growth environment of the mushrooms and affecting their regrowth.

3. Pay attention to the picking location: Pay attention to the location when picking, and try to avoid areas with more serious pollution to avoid contaminating the mushrooms. Before picking, pay attention to checking the place where the mushrooms are picked to avoid snakes, insects and ants that may affect personal safety.

4. Eat or store in time: Picked mushrooms should be processed, cooked or stored in time to maintain the taste and freshness. When storing, pay attention to the treatment of different mushroom bodies and try to dry them for storage.

After reading these words, Shen Jiaren found that it was okay, but she had to pay attention to the technique when picking and the preservation after picking. Shen Jiaren thought about it. After all, it was on the mountain, and she didn't know what was next to the mushrooms, so Shen Jiaren picked up a branch from the side.

Shen Jiaren took a branch and poked around the mushrooms with a stick. When nothing came out, she began to squat there picking mushrooms. Shen Jiaren followed the arrows on the manor system and poked to the east, stepped on the west, patted to the north, and looked to the south. After picking cluster of mushrooms after cluster of mushrooms, and watching the yellow chanterelles slowly fill the basket that Shen Jiaren carried up the mountain, Shen Jiaren suddenly understood the enthusiasm of the Yunnan and Sichuan people for going into the mountains to pick mushrooms and mountain products, because the sense of accomplishment was so satisfying.

When Shen Jiaren was picking yellow porcini mushrooms, the system task kept beeping. Shen Jiaren clicked it and found that it was a random picking task of the manor, picking yellow porcini mushrooms. After Shen Jiaren saw that the task status was completed, she didn't look at it again. After all, time is tight and the task is heavy. She might as well pick a few mushrooms quickly, and do the rest when she has time.

Shen Jiaren watched the basket become fuller and fuller, and the color of the sky slowly changed from the clear blue sky and white clouds to a mixture of gold, pink, purple, red and other colors.

Shen Jiaren was actually very curious. The manor, the manor system, why was the time inside still changing? Was it changing with the passage of time outside? But when I was doing the planting task before, I clearly found that the passage of time in the manor planting field was not at a normal speed.

Shen Jiaren thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what the time inside the manor was like outside. But when Shen Jiaren saw the color of the sky, she knew it was about to get dark, and tomorrow would probably be a sunny day.

After seeing this, Shen Jiaren decided not to pick up any more mountain products. She prepared to leave the manor, return to the yard, and pack up the mountain products she had picked.

Shen Jiaren put on the backpack, took the things she brought into the mountains, checked to see that nothing was left out, and then went straight out of the manor and walked to the awning in the yard.

After Shen Jiaren laid the yellow chanterelles flat in the basket, she placed the rest of the things in the west room, took her spare clothes and prepared to go to the manor to take a bath.

After all, I harvested rice all morning this morning, went to the manor in the afternoon to complete the harvesting of the planting tasks, and went into the mountains to pick up mountain products all afternoon. I was busy all day and was really a bit tired.

After Shen Jiaren entered the manor, took a shower and changed her clothes, she sat in the yard, watching the color of the sunset gradually deepen while picking up the yellow porcini mushrooms she had picked up from the mountains today. Shen Jiaren took a part of them and put them in the refrigerator of the manor for refrigeration. Then she prepared to clean up the rest of the yellow porcini mushrooms and dry them in the sun first. As for whether they could be dried, she would wait for the next two days to see how they looked. If the drying effect was not very good by then, she would cut them into slices and dry them in the sun slowly. After they were dried, she could pick them up and eat them slowly.

After collecting the yellow cattle bacteria, Shen Jiaren collected the firewood and pine needles that had been drying in the yard for several days under the rain shed. She put the pine needles into bags and placed them in the kitchen. She piled the firewood in one place first. Then she divided the pine cones that she had picked up in recent days into areas according to the time they were picked, and turned them over, dried them again, and spread them out.

Shen Jiaren was actually having a headache when looking at the pine cones under the rain shed, because she only knew that the pine nuts were inside the pine cones, but she was completely clueless about how the pine nuts got out of the pine cones and how to process the pine nuts later.

When Shen Jiaren picked up the pine cones, her idea was to pick them up and dry them first. After they were dried, she would study them herself. If she couldn't figure it out, she would ask Aunt Aihua or Aunt Xiaozhou how to deal with them.

If all else fails, in a few days when Aunt Zhou asks us to go into the mountains to pick up products, I will go and see if I can find pine cones. If I can, I will ask with the actual objects. If not, I will ask while chatting while I am picking things up.

Anyway, no matter how this thing is dealt with later, it must be there. This is Shen Jiaren’s attitude and idea.

The most important thing is that if Shen Jiaren takes other things out of the manor, she may receive questions and speculations about the origin of the things. However, as for mountain products, you have to rely on the mountain for your livelihood. If you can pick up mountain products, people will only say that you are lucky, and they will not think about whether there are any in the mountains or how much you can pick up.

The main reason is that Shen Jiaren is really scared by the autumn harvest. Compared with farming, Shen Jiaren's current idea is the same as the male and female protagonists in the period novels she has read before. She wants to start a small business. Not to mention how big it can be, but at least she can ensure that she has food and drink instead of relying solely on work points and farming.

If she relied solely on work points and farming, Shen Jiaren felt that she might starve to death in the countryside, so when picking pine cones and mountain products, without revealing her other attributes, Shen Jiaren would pick up as much as she could, just in case.

However, Shen Jiaren felt that she was stupid and had the thinking of an ordinary person. For example, when she went into the mountains to pick up pine cones yesterday or the day before yesterday, she was so stupid that she carried the pine needles and cones back one by one, and she simply forgot that she had the manor as her golden finger. For example, she could use the storage properties of the manor to put some of the picked pine cones into the manor, and take them out when she went down the mountain. Wouldn't this save her the trouble of running back and forth, but wouldn't she pick up more things?

I was so stupid that I put everything in a basket and carried it down one by one for fear of being seen by others.

Not to mention how much I picked up and took home, I didn't feel tired at all from running back and forth between the yard and the mountain. I even thought that my body had gotten better. At least after climbing up and down the mountain, my health wasn't as bad as before.

After thinking about this, Shen Jiaren couldn't help but smile. She really wasn't destined to be the heroine. She had a golden finger but didn't know how to use it. Every day she had a manor and a system in her arms while sleeping, but she never thought about studying it carefully. What on earth was this thing, how to operate the system, and how to minimize the output and maximize the benefits.

No, I think I thought about it before, but I don’t know why it was shelved in the end.

But now the result is that I hold this mountain of gold and silver but I don't know it. The most common things I use every day are bathing, cooking, eating, bathing, cooking, eating. It's really a waste of the power of this golden finger.

When Shen Jiaren thought of this, she couldn't help but want to laugh even more.
