Chicken mushrooms are rare, but no one has ever picked them before. The entire Qiao family went out, so by evening, everyone had almost searched the entire mountain and found enough to fill a backpack and a basket.

I picked it up in my hand and weighed it. It was at least 30 kilograms.

Qiao Lianer calculated that three pounds of raw chicken mushrooms could produce one pound of chicken mushroom oil, and thirty pounds of chicken mushroom oil could produce ten pounds.

This was the first time the Han family in the town gave her an extra ounce of oil. Next time, they would have to settle the bill according to the original price. Besides, she had used so much oil for free, so they should give her a little discount.

It can be sold for seven or eight taels.

If she takes advantage of the fact that this thing is delicious and no one else has discovered it and asks for an exorbitant price, then this business will not last long. People just need to take the dried mushrooms to the clinic for analysis, and they will know what it is from the mountain, and they can just ask their servants to find it.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the villagers, the Qiao family distributed the chicken mushrooms into other backpacks.

In addition to the chicken mushroom, I also found a lot of broom mushrooms and puffball mushrooms that had been verified to be safe, and filled half a basket with them.

"There are so many on this mountain, and there are other hills that we haven't searched yet." said Old Mrs. Qiao.

Qiao Laosan continued, "Yes, mother, that's why we have to keep this secret. Every household has a brick and tile house, but ours is a mud-walled and thatched house. If we collect and sell all the chicken mushrooms on these hills, maybe we can build a spacious brick and tile house."

The Qiao family was very excited after hearing this.

It would be great if these chicken mushrooms could save the family.

Old Mrs. Qiao nodded. "Everyone, keep your mouths shut. It's not that our Qiao family is stingy, but every household has enough food and houses. The Qiao family is the most deprived in the village, and it's also the Qiao family that suffers the most from paddy field disasters every year. We rely on hunting in the mountains. We've encountered tigers and brown bears so many times that we've almost died. We've wandered the mountains exhausted and gained nothing. But when I get an opportunity like this, I seize it."

Thinking of these situations, Old Mrs. Qiao felt a little sad.

It’s too hard and too tiring.

Even though it would be too conspicuous to always go up the mountain to look for mushrooms, and one day I would not be able to hide anymore, but before that, I had to make as much money as possible.

"Grandma, don't worry. Only a fool would tell anyone. It's a blessing from God that such a good thing happened to our family," said Dacheng.

"This blessing is not a gift from God. It is because our Qiao family has gained a new little lucky treasure."

Old Mrs. Qiao touched Qiao Jianer's head and smiled with relief.

"Yes, it's all the blessing brought by Sister Jianer." Qiao Zhizhi said, touching the pigtails on Qiao Jianer's head.

Qiao Lianer's pigtails were tied into a bun, and then a braid extended out and split to both sides, which was very cute.

Qiao Xier: "Sister Jian'er is a little hero of the whole family."

As he said this, he touched the sheep's horn braid.

The Qiao family members praised her one after another, men and women, old and young, and while praising her, they touched Qiao Lianer's braids.

After a while, Qiao Lianer's pigtails were crooked and loosened. She looked distressed because she had worked hard to do this in the morning.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.

Although Jianer is young, he is still a little narcissistic.

"Don't be angry, Jian'er. I'll give you a better-looking one tomorrow morning." Qiao Xier said, pulling Qiao Jian'er.

After coming down the mountain, the villagers saw the Qiao family coming down with baskets covered with leaves and rags, and they couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What did you pick up from the mountain? It's so mysterious."

Old Man Qiao said, "It's just some wild vegetables. If I cover them up, they'll wilt."

The villagers were a little bit unconvinced, but when they thought about it, everyone had visited these hills and there were only those things there. Could it be possible that treasures could appear out of thin air?

Alas, the Qiao family is so poor that they are even afraid of people stealing the wild vegetables they find.

As we entered the yard, the rich aroma of fried meat hit our noses. It was the smell that only came from a considerable amount of meat fried together, and it aroused everyone's appetite.

I haven't had a good meat meal for a long time.

The eldest brother Qiao, the second brother Qiao and Dayong have all woken up now. They are not idle. Some are chopping wood, some are cleaning the yard, and some are helping in the kitchen.

Lu had already told them about exchanging chicken mushrooms for money. Everyone was surprised at first, but gradually accepted it and wanted to taste what chicken mushrooms tasted like.

Old Mrs. Qiao closed the door to the yard and moved some things to cover up the areas where the yard could be seen.

Then, the Qiao family gathered around the well and began to wash the chicken mushrooms.

Strength lies in numbers, and we quickly washed out a large basin of water.

When they were going down the mountain, they found another three pounds. Qiao Jianer picked up three pounds and said, "We'll make soup with it. It'll be delicious."

"Okay, let's make it and try it so that everyone can have a taste of it." Feng said.

The chicken mushroom soup was made by Qiao Lianer. He made some oil soup, boiled it, and added chicken mushrooms. It was cooked in no time.

As night began to fall, the table was set for dinner. Four bowls of chicken mushroom soup were placed on the four sides of the table, and two plates of fried lean meat were placed on both sides. The vegetables from the Qiao family's dry land were almost eaten, so Qiao Jianer bought some more vegetables, including fried eggplant, fried cabbage, and a large plate of fried broom mushrooms and puffball mushrooms for each person. There was enough oil in the pan, and they were not too stingy with soy sauce to enhance the color. Even the vegetarian dishes looked exceptionally delicious.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of meat and fresh food, intertwined together.

Everyone sat down, eager to get started. They were exhausted from climbing the mountain twice, and their stomachs were growling.

How can anyone resist this kind of fragrance that tempts the taste buds?

Of course, the first thing to do when eating is to taste the chicken mushrooms. Everyone's chopsticks spontaneously reached into the chicken mushroom bowl.

Every time I tasted it, my eyes widened and I felt like my soul was about to fly away from me in an instant.

It is smooth, tender, fresh, crispy and fragrant. It is simply the best in the world.

"Mmm, it's delicious, really better than chicken." Old man Qiao exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it's such a delicious thing, but we only found out about it now. If we had known about it earlier, our family wouldn't be so poor." Boss Qiao shook his head regretfully and couldn't help but take another bite.

Qiao Zhizhi: "Oh my god, it smells so good, it's so delicious that it makes me cry."

"Alas, it has been growing on the mountain for so many years but no one has picked it. It's such a waste of such a delicious delicacy," said Dacheng.

Then everyone stopped talking and just focused on the delicious food on the table.

With such delicious mushrooms, lean meat that they hadn't eaten for a long time, and puffballs and broom mushrooms that they had just unlocked yesterday, the Qiao family felt more satisfied than ever before and more energetic than ever after this meal.

At the end of the meal, drink a bowl of chicken mushroom soup, or soak rice in chicken mushroom soup, and feel the freshness that penetrates into the soul, perfect.

It seems that even if I die now, I will have no regrets.

After the meal, the Qiao family started to squeeze mushrooms.
