She's someone who's lived a second life. Others might not be able to find those mushroom nests even after ten days or half a month, but she's someone who's wandered around and picked up quite a few mushrooms.

Now, coming to this familiar mountain is naturally a piece of cake.

Thinking it over, I decided to let Zhang rest here for a while.

Jiang Zhiyun stepped on the dry leaves, making a "crunching" sound, and then walked towards the bushes in the mountain forest.

She was very familiar with the road and walked in according to her memory. She saw a lot of mushrooms, but most of them were colorful. The more vibrant the color, the more toxins were concentrated, and the more likely it was to cause problems if eaten.

Jiang Zhiyun didn't touch any of these things. She easily found the place where she had picked chicken-of-the-woods mushrooms in her previous life, and wondered why there were only weeds and no mushrooms.

When they suspected it hadn't been unearthed yet, they turned around to look at other places.

To my surprise, I turned around and saw a large patch of termite mushrooms, all still buds, not yet mature, and they would break if you gently broke them open.

Roughly counting them, there are at least forty mushrooms!

Jiang Zhiyun put down the basket. The sickle was too big, and the termite mushrooms were quite tender with deep roots, so the sickle would easily damage them and make it inconvenient to pry them open. So she simply found a wooden stick, which was more sturdy.

Then, sharpen the wooden sticks with a sickle, squat down and insert the sticks one by one. As soon as the soil loosens, the mushroom caps and stems tremble slightly, and then a bud-shaped termite mushroom can be pried out.

The aroma of termite mushrooms filled the air, and Jiang Zhiyun was very satisfied, watching the mushrooms grow in her basket. Before long, the basket was half full.

I weighed it in my hand; it was about three pounds.

You should know that a pound of termite mushrooms can sell for at least fifty coins. If you have three pounds, you can earn one hundred and fifty coins a day.

Carrying a basket down the narrow path, Zhang stood up incredulously: "I said I could still smell the aroma of termite mushrooms, but I never expected you to bring down half a basket of them!"

These things are very hard to find; even those who specialize in mushroom digging have a hard time finding them. Zhang had tried before, spending two or three days in the mountains without finding a single termite mushroom.

If she hadn't seen with her own eyes how much her daughter-in-law had brought, she would have thought it was a lie!

"Yunniang...you're so lucky."

Zhang looked at her with great excitement, "We've only been resting for less than half an hour. I thought you were going to go for a stroll in the mountains. I never imagined that the things you casually picked up would be so valuable."

"We're lucky," Jiang Zhiyun said happily.

“We bought some termite mushrooms, and we’ll keep a few to make soup at home, which will be good for my husband’s health. We can also stir-fry them with some meat.”

"Good, very good." Zhang felt like she had struck gold. The daughter-in-law she had married was so wonderful that she was increasingly satisfied with her.

"We need to hurry, otherwise there will be fewer people at the market, fewer people will buy the matsutake mushrooms, and the price will be lower."

"Then let's hurry up and go." Zhang said with great enthusiasm. "Don't worry, Yunniang won't hold you back."

"Ah."

Jiang Zhiyun responded and began to hurry on her way.

Although Zhang was having some difficulty, she managed to keep up.

The two entered the town and headed straight for the market.

There were still many stalls selling things at the market, making it very lively.

Zhang pulled her aside and said, "Yunniang, if we sell mushrooms, we need to pay those officials, it seems we need to reserve a stall in advance."

"It's probably not going to work now."
