I trade in both worlds

A young mother pushing a stroller saw that the children were frightened, and immediately smiled at them and said softly: "I'm sorry, kids, because you are so cute, I can't help but look at you again and again."

Several passers-by smiled kindly and said, "She is so cute, especially the braids on her head."

Xu Zhun smiled shyly and whispered, "Thank you."

Xu Jin also relaxed, smiled slightly, took Xu Qiwei's hand, and slowly followed Xu Ziqing's footsteps forward.

"You're welcome." The young mother responded with a smile and walked quickly into the elevator.

Xu Ziqing turned around and looked at the children, then asked with a smile, "Are you scared?"

Xu Jin nodded shyly: "A little bit, but later I wasn't afraid anymore."

Xu Xu reached out and rubbed the back of his head, then looked up. Everyone who walked past them would stare at them. He wondered whether he should change into the clothes here when he was out in the wild in the future, so that he could attract less attention.

Looking at the time, it was not yet ten o'clock. Xu Ziqing brought a few children to the children's playground, issued cards for them, changed socks for the children, disinfected their hands with disinfectant, and then the staff took them in.

This children's playground has a ball pool, slides, swings, trampolines, as well as motorcycles and bicycles for children to play with. As soon as the three children entered, they were like mice entering a rice jar, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xu Xu was so anxious that she didn't know who to chase after. Xu Ziqing pulled her and comforted her, "Don't worry, it's okay. They have bracelets on their hands and my phone number. They can't go out by themselves, so don't worry. Let them play here by themselves. We will take Tiantian to the ball pool over there and we can watch from the side."

Xu Xu looked around and saw children playing by themselves everywhere. The adults were sitting on the side or outside doing their own things. Seeing this, he felt at ease and took Xu Tiantian to the ball pool.

Xu Tiantian saw that her uncle and brother had disappeared, while Xu Xu was still holding her and walking to the other side. She cried anxiously, pointing in the direction they ran, and insisted on following them. She struggled so hard that Xu Xu could hardly hold her anymore.

Xu Ziqing smiled and pinched her little face: "Tiantian, let's go there to play."

Xu Tiantian looked in the direction she pointed and saw many children sitting in the ball pool playing. She instantly forgot about her two uncles and brother.

He pointed at the ball pool and shouted "Ahhhh", urging Xu Xu to go there.

Xu Xu had no choice but to speed up and put Xu Tiantian into the ball pool. She and Xu Ziqing sat on the side, chatting and watching Xu Tiantian play.

Thinking of the expenses just now, Xu Xu felt that he had to make money here quickly. He couldn't always spend Xu Ziqing's money. He didn't know if there were other faster ways to make money besides embroidery and making clothes. It didn't matter whether he made a lot or a little. The main thing was to have income. He would feel anxious if he didn't have money.

"Sister Qing, do I have anything else that I can sell here?" Xu Xu asked

Xu Ziqing replied: "That's a lot of copper coins, porcelain, furniture, all of which are quite valuable."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "Also, the hazel mushrooms you gave away before were pure wild ones, and they are also sold at a very high price here."

"Very expensive?" Xu Xu was a little bit unbelievable. Mountain products were not considered to be very valuable things in the Dayun Dynasty. At least in their Xu Village, every household had enough of them. If they went up the mountain a few more times, they could always bring some back.

"Yes, everything is artificially grown nowadays. As long as they are labeled organic, the price will be half as much. What's more, if they are wild, modern industrialization has almost destroyed the environment. In addition, excessive harvesting has caused many wild species to become endangered. Only a few can still be found in deep mountains and old forests."

"Can your mushrooms be grown?" Xu Xu asked curiously, wondering how mushrooms were grown.

"Yes, even Ganoderma lucidum is cultivated, not to mention mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms and hazel mushrooms."

"Ganoderma? Can we grow Ganoderma here?" Xu Xu looked at her with shining eyes.

"Uh... I don't know." Xu Ziqing was stared at by her and moved his butt uncomfortably: "I have never planted it before."

Xu Xu said disappointedly: "What a pity."

"Hey." Thinking of the potato planting video, Xu Xu pointed at his phone and asked again: "Is there anyone here who teaches how to grow Ganoderma lucidum?"

Xu Ziqing glanced at her and picked up his phone to search. There were indeed a lot of technical documents on Ganoderma lucidum cultivation, but when he saw only the part about strain production, Xu Ziqing shook his head and said, "You can't grow it."

"Why can't I plant it?" Xu Xu leaned over to look at Xu Ziqing's mobile phone. Those simplified Chinese characters made her deeply understand what it felt like to be illiterate.

"What does it say?" Xu Xu asked.

Xu Ziqing pointed at his phone and read the search results. "This is the first step of seed production. It says here that the mother seed is separated and cultured. The culture medium is potato-glucose-agar culture medium. When separating, take a large, white, unopened or just opened bud."

"In a sterile box, sterilize the surface with 75% alcohol, then cut off the surface tissue, cut a piece of tissue the size of a grain from the center of the fruiting body, place it on the culture medium, and culture it in a culture room at 25-28 degrees Celsius. When the southern silk grows a vortex bevel, expand and separate it on a new culture medium, and it is the mother seed."

"What does this mean?" Xu Xu had never heard of many of these words and had no idea what they were talking about.

Xu Ziqing spread his hands and said, "I don't understand either. Besides, there are many things here that you don't have and you can't cultivate them. Don't think about it anymore and give up."

"What about other species of fungi?" Xu Xu still wanted to continue struggling.

Seeing how persistent she was, Xu Ziqing simply found some hazel mushroom cultivation videos for her to watch. Xu Xu watched the videos carefully, while Xu Ziqing watched Xu Tiantian playing in the ball pool.

After watching the video, Xu Xu returned the phone to Xu Ziqing in frustration: "I have never heard of many of these things."

Xu Ziqing took the phone with amusement and looked at the time. It was already 11: and time for lunch.

After carrying Xu Tiantian out of the ball pool, Xu Ziqing comforted her, "Okay, you can't plant this, but you can still plant corn and potatoes. We have a lot of vegetables here that you don't have, so you can plant them too. But these are things to do after the beginning of spring next year. Let's go eat first."

Xu Tiantian was unhappy when she was carried out. She hadn't played enough yet. She pointed at the ball pool and screamed, with her upper body constantly leaning into the ball pool.

Xu Xu quickly took over Xu Tiantian and coaxed her, "Let's go find our uncle and brother first to see where they went to play, okay?"

Xu Tiantian nodded and pointed in the direction Xu Jin and the others ran, indicating that they should go that way.
