Eating melons

The money they earned these two days was enough to buy things and exchange them for things at the brigade, and it was enough for the two of them to eat for a year. This was much easier than making money on the black market.

Seeing that Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu have been going out early and coming back late these two days, it is obvious that they have gone to the black market.

Wei Wei felt that her golden finger was the best. She could make a profit by taking advantage of the price difference and the shortage of supplies here, which was much better than Xiao Xuemu working so hard.

Because they had to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms the next day, they had to get up early, so the two of them stopped chatting. Wei Wei didn't even check the system. After washing up, she set the alarm clock and went to sleep.

The next morning they were still eating noodles and had to prepare today's lunch. It couldn't be like yesterday. Yesterday there were only two of them and it was okay to eat bread, but today there were quite a few people.

And they can't eat too well, otherwise people will be jealous.

After all, it is one thing for others to know that you are rich, but it is another thing for you to show off your wealth in front of others.

So the two of them each cooked an egg and a few sweet potatoes and potatoes.

The two of them took their equipment and went to the captain's house to find Liu Aiying. If they were allowed to go alone, it would be another matter whether they could find the way back.

As soon as the two arrived at Zhang's house, they were shocked by the scene in the yard.

All the shelves in the yard that could hold curtains were put up, and the roof was also filled with them.

It’s full of potato chips, beans and cucumber slices. Can we finish it?

Liu Aiying saw them as soon as they entered the yard. "Wei girl, Jiang girl, you're here. We're almost done. We'll be ready soon. We got up this morning to slice potatoes."

Wei Wei: "Auntie, can you eat all the food you've dried?"

Wei Wei paused as she finished speaking. She had forgotten that they both still needed to buy more! They had to show off more.

Liu Aiying: "This is nothing! This is only the second pot. We have to dry it out in the sun after it dries, and we have to dry it out in the sun after it is distributed. This is enough for our family to eat!"

Hearing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi both thought it was too exaggerated! From what she said, she had already exposed so much, and she hadn't even exposed half of it yet.

Isn't this just a winter getaway? Even if it gets longer, there's no need to be so exaggerated! This is like preparing for war.

Seeing the Zhang family's mushroom picking team, Wei Wei felt that this was not like picking mushrooms, but more like going to fight.

Liu Aiying and her three daughters-in-law each had a backpack and two or three sacks, and each of the three children had a basket.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi looked at each other, their eyes filled with the words "Is it such an exaggerated use?"

So many sacks, so many people, how could there be so many mushrooms? The two of them only took one sack and one backpack each, was that enough?

I originally thought about going back to get two more sacks, but then I thought that even if there were so many mushrooms, they wouldn't be able to bring back so many, so I decided to give up.

Within two minutes, Zhao Xing also came over with her grandchildren and daughters-in-law.

A group of people set off in such a mighty manner.

When they came to the mountain, they both fell in love with the scenery.

Unlike the mountains in the south that are covered with weeds and shrubs, the mountains here are not as steep and there are almost no bushes, making it much easier to walk.

Wei Wei remembers that when she went back to the countryside with her parents to visit the graves, it was like looking for ancestors in the mountains.

And that was real mountain climbing, you had to use both hands and feet to barely climb up, and it was obviously the same location, but she felt that the mountain she climbed every year was different, but they all had one characteristic, which was that they were difficult to climb.

The lack of roads is a problem. There is no place to hide. Your feet will get tripped or your hair, clothes or pants will get caught. There is absolutely no way to go.

But it's different here. The trees are generally tall. Although there are some trees, they are not many, and there are no weeds as tall as a person. Although there is no obvious road, you can still walk, and it is quite easy to walk.

After stopping and walking along the way, we finally arrived at the destination. Everyone had a lot of mushrooms in their backpacks.

Only Wei Wei and Jiang Qi have flowers of almost the same variety, both of which were sponsored by Liu Aiying and others, and are given to you two to identify.

Liu Aiying: "This whole area is full of mushrooms. There are quite a few here. Let's spread out! But don't go too far. If you don't see anyone, just call out a few times, okay?"

Wei Wei: "Okay."

Jiang Qi: "Okay."

Although they were told to disperse, the two of them did not disperse. The ground was covered with mushrooms, which really surprised them.

They were short-sighted and thought there wouldn't be much, but judging from the situation, Liu Aiying and the others' sacks might actually be full.

Picking mushrooms is both stress-relieving and addictive, and it is even more addictive for the two novices, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi.

The two of them started picking mushrooms in the basket, and when they came across something they were unsure of, they scanned it for Wei Wei.

We actually found quite a few poisonous mushrooms, but they looked similar to the ones Liu Aiying and the others had given us.

Wei Wei stepped on something that looked like a pine cone. "What is this?"

Jiang Qi took it and looked at it. "This is a pine cone."

He peeled the pine nuts and said, "Look, these are pine nuts."

Wei Wei: "Are all the pine cones here this big? Hmm~ This one is so sticky and a little hard to peel. I wonder if I can sell this pine cone directly."

After that, scan it with the system.

[A broken pine cone weighs 0.8 catties, 3 yuan per catties. Are you selling it?]

Wei Wei was speechless when she saw the word "incomplete" on it. Could it be that the two of them had peeled a few pine nuts? But she still sold it directly.

Wei Wei: "It said this is a broken pine cone, only three yuan a pound. There seem to be quite a few on the ground over there. I'll pick up a good one and sweep it up."

After saying that, he ran over to find a good and big one, and then scanned it with the system.

[1.2 catties of fresh pine cones, 5 yuan/catties, are you selling them?]

Wei Wei clicked sell without thinking.

Wei Wei: "The good ones are five yuan a pound."

Jiang Qi: "This is much more profitable than digging up dandelions. There are still quite a few on the ground here. Let's pick them up quickly. Use bags to pick them up. They're too heavy. You can just sell them after you pick them up."

Wei Wei: "Okay."

After saying that, the two of them started to eat the pine cones on the ground. Although there were not as many as mushrooms, there were still quite a few, usually weighing more than half a pound each.

When she was almost done picking up the trash, Wei Wei saw a squirrel not far away.

Wei Wei's eyes widened at this, and she walked gently to Jiang Qi and said in a low voice, "Jiang Qi, look over there, there's a squirrel, there's a squirrel."

When Jiang Qi heard the sound, he looked up and followed Wei Wei's finger. He saw that this person was not short-sighted and there was indeed a squirrel eating pine nuts in a tree not far away.

Jiang Qi: "I've never seen a squirrel except at the zoo!"

Wei Wei: "Me too. The environment is well protected nowadays. This is wild."

Jiang Qi: "This is the first time I've seen one in the wild."

For the two of them, it didn't matter how many mushrooms they picked, they just squatted and watched the squirrels.
