After talking for a while, they had to deal with the things they brought back. Mrs. Deng and Aunt Li Shiyi hurriedly took out the backpack again.
Zhao Liya took out the palm-sized Ganoderma lucidum and showed it to them.
Aunt Li Shiyi carefully touched the Ganoderma lucidum and praised it: "Oh, it's really Ganoderma lucidum. Look how good it looks! Good stuff, good stuff!"
Mrs. Deng felt distressed and proud, with a smile on her face: "Our Ya'er, Ah Ling is really good at it!"
Zhao Xiang also smiled and said: "Finally, I have gained something. I can do the job even if I have to do it. When the time comes, I will ask for my merits and say more good things..." and then use the money to make up for it.
Finally, we found a Ganoderma lucidum plant. Everyone thought it was a good sign and felt much more at ease.
The century-old Ganoderma lucidum is not something that can be found by looking for it. It is normal for them not to find it, but it is abnormal for them to find it!
Zhao Liya didn't want to talk about Ganoderma lucidum anymore and nodded with a smile: "Yeah, well, it's not the deadline yet anyway, so we're not in a hurry. These wild goods have to be dealt with quickly, and they can't be left to spoil!"
"Hey, okay, you and A-Ling go to rest, we'll come, we'll come!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mom and Dad, it's Aunt Eleven!"
"Hey, we are not working hard, you are working hard. Go back to your room and rest for a while. I will call you after dinner."
"OK!"
Zhao Xiang and Deng didn't understand mountain goods, but Aunt Li Shiyi did.
There are so many kinds of wild mushrooms in the mountains. They didn't even ask for the ordinary ones. What they brought back were the most delicious ones, such as small flower mushrooms, morels, and chanterelles.
There are actually six Hericium mushrooms that are bigger than your fist!
Although Aunt Li Shiyi didn't know that Hericium was one of the eight mountain delicacies and was said to be "a mountain delicacy and a seafood bird's nest", she knew that this thing was already valuable, so she quickly and carefully put it aside.
"Keep this Hericium and sell it for money. Rich people really like it!"
In addition to various wild mushrooms, they also brought back seven or eight kilograms of yams and about ten kilograms of bamboo shoots.
In order to reduce the weight, the bamboo shoots are shelled.
I couldn't finish it in a while, so I simply packed the wild mushrooms and bamboo shoots in a dustpan and took them out to dry.
Bamboo shoots need to be cut into thin slices with a knife.
Mrs. Deng felt sorry for her daughter and her adopted son who went to the mountains to endure hardships. For dinner, she killed a chicken, stewed chicken soup with mountain mushrooms, roasted two crucian carps, and fried a bowl of beans and eggplants.
During the meal, I kept picking up food for them, saying distressedly: "I have lost a lot of weight. Let's take a good rest for a few days when we come back!"
Even the two children, Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin, were very considerate and gave up the chicken legs to their elder brother and sister, but Zhao Liya and Hu Ling were very moved.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling felt a little guilty. They really didn't suffer much in the mountains, and they didn't lose weight because they had pheasants, hares, or other birds to eat every day...
However, the chicken soup stewed at home is really delicious, especially delicious and fragrant.
The next day, Zhao Liya took her two children to the vegetable garden at the door. The garden was full of tender green. The vegetable seedlings were growing very well. Beans and cucumbers, which grew quickly, were already ready to be put on sticks.
Now, the corn seedlings have grown as long as a finger and are full of vitality.
The pumpkin seedlings, winter melon seedlings, and loofah seedlings under the melon shed are also growing very strong, and they will probably start to climb before long.
By the way, the pumpkin vine that climbed up to the lychee tree in their yard is still there, and the big pumpkin has gotten a little bigger. They might as well pick it for cooking in a few days.
Zhao Lixiang proudly showed off to her sister: "We help water every day!"
Zhao Lin: “And weeding!”
"Yes, yes, mom said the little ones will grow faster this way!"
"Um!"
Zhao Liya's heart was soft, and she hugged the two of them and praised them with a smile: "Xian'er, Lin'er is so capable! You will help with the work!"
There are the most weeds in newly cultivated land, and they can grow into a patch of grass in almost the blink of an eye. You must keep an eye on it and pull it out when you see it.
It will take at least three years before the raw land can barely grow into mature land.
But there are almost no weeds in this vegetable garden, which shows that the family takes care of this vegetable field very carefully.
Everyone is working very hard to contribute to this family.
The Gu family has been keeping an eye on the Zhao family. Zhao Liya and Hu Ling came back yesterday afternoon, and this morning, Gu and his wife came.
"Where's the Ganoderma lucidum? Have you found it?"
Gu Laoer was so in need of a beating as soon as he opened his mouth.
Second Sister-in-law Gu was also holding back her nerves. Originally, after Zhao Liya and Hu Ling entered the mountain, their sisters-in-law wanted to say something about how dangerous the mountain was to irritate Deng and Zhao Xiang. It would be better to scare them into begging for forgiveness from the Gu family.
Unexpectedly, they never wandered around the village, and did not even go to the river to wash clothes or vegetables. And with Aunt Li Shiyi watching eagerly, they had no chance to show off.
When she came to the door, Mrs. Gu was not polite, "You have only been in the mountains for a few days and you are back? It seems that you have found Ganoderma lucidum? Why don't you take it out quickly! Let me tell you, this is what the government wants
I heard that these things are going to be presented as tribute! If you make a mistake, you will be slapped with a plan and put in jail!"
Zhao Xiang said calmly: "Isn't it that the deadline has not come yet? You don't need to care."
Gu Laoer sneered: "Who cares about you? If we can't pay this tribute, our whole village will suffer. Do you want to harm the whole village?"
Second Sister-in-law Gu was angry: "Hey, you guys are quite vicious!"
Gu Laoer: "Since you have nothing to gain, why are you lazy? Why don't you go into the mountains and look for it!"
"that is!"
Zhao Liya said angrily: "Who said we got nothing? We found a Ganoderma lucidum! Don't believe it? Hum, let me show it to you!"
Zhao Liya took out the palm-sized small Ganoderma lucidum and said, "Did you see it?"
"So young? How many years have you grown? How dare you take it out?" Sister-in-law Gu curled her lips, disgusted, but unexpectedly snatched the Ganoderma lucidum away with her hand, "You don't know how to preserve it, I'll take it first!
"
"No, you can't take it away!" The Zhao family was anxious and wanted to snatch it back.
"Who says it can't be done? You all should be more honest!" Gu Lao'er yelled with wide eyes, and he and Gu Er's sister-in-law walked away triumphantly.
Deng was so angry that he cursed: "Are they robbers and bandits? Why are they so unreasonable?"
Zhao Liya chuckled: "Don't be angry, mother, just take it away if they take it. Our things are not that easy to get. Aunt Eleven, please do me a favor."
Aunt Li Shiyi was also very angry and scolded Mrs. Deng together. When she heard this, she nodded quickly: "Aya, tell me."
Zhao Liya: "You can go to the village these days and tell the villagers about the fact that the Gu family robbed our Ganoderma lucidum. This Ganoderma lucidum might as well be bigger."
Aunt Li Shiyi nodded: "Okay, that's no problem! However, I'm afraid the Gu family won't care at all. If they are like that, I'm afraid they won't return the Ganoderma lucidum just because of this, alas."
