Amidst the twinkling lights, the raindrops are as thin as silk threads, adding a touch of mystery to this quiet night.

Sleeping with the sound of rain, it is rare for the family to have a good dream.

With the sounds of roosters crowing, dogs barking, and the sky turning pale, the small mountain village became lively.

After a night of spring rain, most of the peach blossoms fell again, and the air was filled with a fresh scent.

The scent of rape flowers remains as strong as ever, the wheat is growing deeper green, and the mulberry trees have already sprouted. What a vibrant scene.

"It rained all night, and the humidity hasn't gone away yet. What are you doing standing outside the door?"

Mrs. Tan saw her little daughter standing outside the door early in the morning, worried that she might have caught a cold.

"Come back soon, the porridge and soup are warming up on the stove for you, go and have some."

After listening to Tan's instructions, Qing Ning immediately responded with a big smile, went back to get a bowl of porridge soup, and drank it slowly.

Qingzhu cleaned up, served a bowl of porridge and soup, and sat with her.

"Second sister, let's go to the woods later. There must be good things after the rain."

Qingning came over mysteriously and whispered in Qingzhu's ear.

Qingzhu didn't say anything, but nodded continuously.

After dinner, they cleaned up the dishes and went out with their tools, each carrying a basket.

Tan was worried and gave a few more instructions, just telling him not to go into the deep mountains.

When the two passed by the river, they saw several boys from the village catching fish and shrimps there, looking very happy.

"Sister, can we come over sometime and grab some snails to eat?"

She wants to eat snails.

Qingzhu was amused, "Okay, seeing how greedy you are."

The two of them talked and laughed, and soon they reached the edge of the woods.

Slowly exploring the bamboo forest, I saw that the bamboo leaves were still covered with rainwater after the rain, and the water would fall down continuously if touched.

Green lime carefully swept the roots of the bamboo and under the fallen leaves.

"Second sister, come quickly."

When Qing Ning found what she was looking for, she ran forward excitedly in three or two steps, not forgetting to greet Qing Zhu.

Carefully push aside the fallen leaves to reveal what's inside.

"Second sister, come and see"

"What are you looking at?"

"Did you see that? This mushroom with a brown cap."

As he spoke, he gently pulled out a mushroom with his hand, removed the cap, and revealed the entire white and tender flesh of the mushroom.

"What kind of mushroom is this? Can it be eaten?"

Qingzhu asked, seeing how cautious she was.

Green Lemon: "This is bamboo fungus. It has white, tender and smooth flesh and is extremely delicious. It's perfect for stewing soup."

He added, "This season is the perfect time to pick them. Let's find some, dry them, and sell them."

Qingzhu had never heard of it and didn't know it, but she trusted what Qingning said 100%.

"Okay, it's up to you."

"When picking, be gentle. Use a knife to cut the cord from the bottom of the stipe, then gently remove the cap, then remove the stipe, leaving the stem and skirt. Be sure not to tear or break them."

Qing Ning said as he demonstrated.

"Try not to get it dirty and don't use too much force, as it can break easily."

After saying that, he went to find some bamboo leaves and put them at the bottom of the basket.

Qingzhu picked the fruits carefully and meticulously according to her instructions.

In less than half an hour, the two of them had already picked a whole basket. They were tired from bending over all the time, so they stood up and moved around to relieve the strain.

"Little sister, is this bamboo fungus so delicious?"

Qingzhu is now very curious about this plump white mushroom.

"Well, the fruiting body of bamboo fungus is crisp, tender, refreshing, sweet and delicious, with a unique flavor. As a dish, it is the best among all fungi, and can be said to have the three unique colors, fragrance and taste. It is a top-notch mountain delicacy."

Seeing that the little sister was explaining things clearly, Qingzhu was looking forward to tasting the delicious food even more.

"Sister, let's dig up more and keep some for home. We can take the rest to the market and sell them for a good price."

When Qingzhu heard this, he picked more vigorously.

"Second sister, little sister, where are you?"

This is Qingwu's voice.

"Here, brother. We are here."

Qingzhu replied loudly and turned back to continue picking.

When the two men came over, they had already filled a basket with fruits.

Seeing the two of them concentrating on digging something, Qingyu came over curiously.

"Sister, what are you picking?"

"Fourth brother, these are called bamboo fungi, they are the best wild delicacies. Hurry up and pick more now while they are still not fully mature."

Qing Ning urged the two of them to come over and help.

"Then we will come to help too. How do we pick it?"

Qingwu didn't know how to start for a moment, so Qingzhu asked the two of them to watch her do it.

The efficiency of the four people was still very high, and the two baskets were full in no time.

Qing Ning was a little worried again. "This thing is hard to preserve. It's raining a lot right now and if it doesn't dry out in the sun, it'll rot easily. I need to think of a solution when I get back."

Although the taste is naturally better when it is sun-dried, it will all go bad if not handled properly during the rainy season.

It would be nice to have a drying oven. I'm not sure if setting one up temporarily will work.

As they walked along, Qing Ning's mind was constantly turning to how to build an oven to bake the mushrooms.

If it works, it can be a legitimate livelihood.
