Chapter 133 A Lot of Fungi
Zhou Guo walked for a long time without seeing any pheasant, but he fell under a pine tree and saw two pine mushrooms.
When she saw the pine mushrooms, she couldn't walk anymore. She squatted down and picked up two mushrooms carefully, removed the stems, cleaned off the dead branches and leaves on them, held the pine mushrooms under her nose and smelled them. It was still the smell she remembered, and she was very happy.
Since there are pine mushrooms growing in this forest, there can't be only these two.
She stopped looking for pheasants and instead lowered her head to search for mushrooms inch by inch on the ground. After a short while, she found three mushrooms not far away. She was so happy. If she could pick a few more, she could make a pot of soup in the evening and each person in the family could eat one. Matsutake mushrooms are delicious.
Zhou Dacang was concentrating on looking for pheasants on the other side. He searched for a long time and was about to give up, but finally he found a chicken looking for food in the grass not far ahead. He picked up a useless stone in his hand for a long time, aimed, and threw it out.
Unfortunately, I didn’t win.
It only alerted the snake, and the pheasant heard the noise and ran away with a hiss.
Zhou Dacang hurriedly chased forward, and did not forget to call Zhou Guo on the other side, "Guoguo, hurry up, a pheasant is coming towards you, block it quickly."
Zhou Guo had unknowingly walked far away while looking for mushrooms, so he could not hear anything. Even if he heard it, it was too late.
Zhou Dacang chased forward all the way, sweating profusely. Fortunately, the pheasant in front of him also panicked, and while running, it somehow dived into a small thorn bush in front of it, and he quickly pulled it out.
When this was brought up, he realized that the girl Zhou Guo was missing, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhou Guo was squatting on the ground happily picking mushrooms, picking them completely absorbed in the process. She walked in from outside holding seven or eight mushrooms in her clothes, and was dazzled by the mushrooms on the ground. There were too many, too many. Looking around, there were big and small mushrooms everywhere. How many were there?
She took off the bag in front of her. The bag had been filled with honey and then washed, and there was still a faint sweet smell. She didn't take the silver in the bag, as the mushrooms still needed to be washed anyway.
When she squatted down to pick them up, she found that there were really too many of them, many big ones and many small ones that had not yet grown. They would be ready to eat in a few days, so she picked them all up with the mentality of not wanting to miss any. Those that could not be eaten could be dried, and they would be more delicious when stewed into soup.
Zhou Dacang, who called out several times from the other side but heard no response, became extremely anxious. In such a deep mountain and dense forest, he was really afraid that the baby would be taken away by some wild animal. He panicked and almost cried.
"Zhou Guo!!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, the sound was deafening, and the nearby birds fluttered into the sky.
There was panic and fear in the cry.
Zhou Guo, who was picking mushrooms, was startled and his hands trembled. He quickly responded, "Hey, uncle, I'm here! Here!"
She hurriedly stood up and ran to the source of the sound. She forgot about her uncle while she was picking up the things! !
When Zhou Dacang heard the echo, his heart instantly calmed down and he became angry, extremely angry!
Hurrying towards the direction where the sound came from.
As soon as the two met.
Before Zhou Guo could even say anything, he was scolded, "Where have you been??!! Can you please stop running around and let me be more careful?? This forest is so big, if you were taken away by a wild beast, where would I find you?! Are you tired of living?? If you really have to, just say something, are you mute??!"
She had never seen him so angry before. Knowing she was in the wrong, she shrank her neck and dared not say anything, and handed over the mushroom in her hand.
"I tell you, Zhou Guo, if you act so scary again next time, I will beat you up...what a piece of crap?" Zhou Dacang was so angry that he almost scared him to death.
"Uncle, mushrooms, chicken stewed with mushrooms!" Zhou Guo pointed to the pheasant he was holding tightly in his hand. With chicken and mushrooms, he could eat chicken stewed with mushrooms in the evening.
Zhou Dacang looked down at the chicken in his hand. The chicken was motionless, as if dead. Fortunately, he did not throw away the chicken, otherwise he would have nothing to eat in the evening.
Zhou Guo was so happy, he actually caught a chicken. His uncle was really good at catching pheasants.
"Is this pine mushroom?" Zhou Dacang took it and forgot to be angry. "Where are there more? Are there many?"
Speaking of this, Zhou Guo's face was full of excitement, "Lots, lots, lots, it's such a big area, I can probably pick up three or four baskets!"
"So many?!" Zhou Dacang's eyes widened. "Come on, take me to see."
……
There are pine mushrooms all over the ground.
Zhou Dacang said: "How long will it take us to pick up so many? We can't take them out without any belongings."
Zhou Guo looked at the pine mushrooms all over the ground and said, "I think we should call everyone in. There must be more than one piece of pine mushrooms in such a large forest. We can pick them up and dry them in the sun to make a dish in winter."
The two of them picked up a lot more, and Zhou Guo's bag was full, and he even put a big bag in his pocket.
Zhou Dacang simply took off his clothes, packed up the mushrooms he had picked up, and walked away shirtless, holding the pheasant in one hand and the mushrooms in the other.
The two of them left the mountain with a lot of harvest.
As soon as he came out of the mountain, he attracted everyone's attention.
"Wow, we really got something. Both of them got something. Zhou Sanlang was holding a pheasant, but what was wrapped in it?"
Someone couldn't help but come forward, and saw the mushrooms in Zhou Guoyi's pocket at a glance, and his eyes widened in surprise, "There are pine mushrooms in this forest?"
"Ah? There really is, Guoguo, where did you pick it up? Hey, let's go in and take a look. For so many days, I have been eating nothing but wild vegetables every day. I really want to have a taste of this."
Everyone couldn't wait to go. After eating wild vegetables for so long, who wouldn't want to change the taste? If they didn't have the ability to hunt, didn't they have the ability to pick mushrooms?
The crowd surrounding Zhou Guo and the other man dispersed and went back to find sacks to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms.
Many people don’t even eat, so they just pick up the food and use it as dinner dishes.
The Zhou family children's eyes widened in surprise when they saw so many pine mushrooms that Zhou Guo and his friend brought back. This was their favorite mushroom. The weather in the village was dry this year, and there had been no rain since the summer. They had gone into the mountains several times but had not seen a single mushroom.
Li smiled and said, "It just so happens that we can cook the pheasant tonight and stew it with the pine mushrooms. We can make a pot of soup and everyone can drink a few bowls."
Zhou Xing looked at the chicken and said, "Although this chicken is a little small, there are many mushrooms we picked up. Second Aunt, let's stew these mushrooms together so that everyone can eat more."
Everyone in the family has a big appetite now.
Li nodded and the two began to prepare dinner.
The Zhou family could no longer sit still since they were going down from Zhou Valley. The villagers and other refugees on the roadside were heading into the mountains in an endless stream at this time, carrying baskets and traveling together in high spirits.
