Chapter 156: The chicken mushrooms on the hillside can be sold for a lot of money, and there is a big monster in the mountain
"Ouch, you scared me to death."
Seeing An Wenyi, An Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief.
He patted his chest to calm his frightened heart, and shouted loudly to An Wenyi to wait for him there.
He quickly climbed down from the tree, shaking off the leaves and tree shells that were on his body.
"Where is this kid?" Chen Hui said as he helped to swat away a bug that had landed on An Wenjing's back.
"She went around the col in front and went behind it. I was so scared. I'm going to scold her later!"
An Wenjing carried her half basket of fodder and said, "Let's go over and cut the grass before we run away again."
"it is good."
Chen Hui nodded and also put on the backpack on his back.
The two of them were clearing weeds along the way. When they saw the red mushrooms, they didn't bother to pick them and hurriedly walked towards An Wenyi.
"Sister! Brother-in-law! Sister! Brother-in-law!"
An Wenyi had no idea that he had just been running around. He waved his arms and shouted rhythmically.
An Wenjing was amused by her appearance and gave up the idea of scolding her.
"Why are you running around? Are you afraid of being captured by the monsters in the mountains?" Chen Hui threatened.
"Monster?!" An Wenyi had no idea what this was.
"Yes, there are monsters in these uninhabited mountains."
"Some of them look like snakes, some look like cows, and each monster is about this big, with three heads, five hands, and seven or eight horns."
Chen Hui gestured, trying his best to make the monster he was talking about sound bigger.
An Wenyi stared at Chen Hui, her mouth unconsciously opening into an O shape.
"Brother Chen Hui, stop talking nonsense. Don't scare her so much that she doesn't dare to go up the mountain." An Wenjing patted Chen Hui and said in a low voice.
"Just to scare her so she won't run around?"
"The person didn't run far just now. What if he ran far away and we couldn't find him?" Chen Hui said righteously.
Thinking that An Wenyi is still young, he might get too scared and have to ask Yuan Chuanfang for calming tea at night.
I was just about to comfort her and tell her that as long as she followed the adults, she would not encounter any monsters.
An Wenyi showed a strange expression on his face, and asked Chen Hui, "Brother-in-law, if we kill a monster, will it take longer than a wild boar?"
"."
"."
Chen Hui and An Wenjing looked at each other in surprise, and couldn't help but support each other and laugh.
"You little brat, you even thought of eating this." An Wenjing almost laughed to death.
"I want to eat meat." An Wenyi said seriously.
"When my brother-in-law comes back from the county town tomorrow, he will bring you a few pounds of white and tender pork." Chen Hui said with a smile.
"Brother-in-law is going to the county tomorrow? Then I want to go too!" An Wenyi said.
"No, my brother-in-law can't take you with him when he goes to do some serious business tomorrow. Let's not talk about this. You just said you got rich, but where is the wealth?" Chen Hui tried to change the subject.
"If you don't take me with you, then bring me two candies!"
An Wenyi looked very proud.
"Okay, I'll bring you two." Chen Hui smiled helplessly.
"Hehe, brother-in-law, come with me quickly, it's time to make a fortune."
An Wenyi finally remembered the important matter and pulled An Wenjing towards the valley they had just come from.
After running forward for a while, she turned around and threw herself on Chen Hui's stomach and said, "Brother-in-law, hold me!"
"Huh???" Chen Hui was puzzled, but still picked up An Wenyi.
"Hey, brother-in-law, look over there!" An Wenyi said, pointing to the uphill slope not far away.
On the whole hillside, there were dozens of clumps of chicken mushrooms growing like psoriasis, and each clump had at least 20 or 30 chicken mushrooms of different sizes.
"Wow! There are so many chicken mushrooms! Such a large area has not been discovered by anyone. Aren't we really lucky?"
An Wenjing had already seen it, put down the big backpack and ran over in a hurry.
He broke off a branch and pried open the soil around the Altissima, then carefully pulled the mushrooms upwards by the stems, saying happily, "Look, these mushrooms are so long! I can't finish eating so many of them in several days."
"Little boy, your brother-in-law has assigned a task to you! If you complete it, I will bring you an extra candy tomorrow." Chen Hui put An Wenyi down and said.
"Really? Then tell me quickly!" An Wenyi said happily.
"See those chicken mushrooms? Go and take a picture of each one."
"Be gentle like this, don't break it."
As Chen Hui spoke, he gently patted An Wenyi's forehead twice.
"that's all?!"
"that's all!"
This task is too easy.
An Wenyi nodded, holding her rag doll and went to take pictures of the mushroom umbrella.
There are so many chicken mushrooms that the small backpack is definitely not big enough to hold them.
Chen Hui collected some vines, connected them end to end and tied them together, making several vines into a long and thick vine.
He took out the compacted grass from An Wenjing's backpack, tied it up with a cross knot using vines, and created a large backpack.
He cut off a few more branches and sharpened the ends with a sickle.
He took the empty backpack and branches and went to find An Wenjing.
"I was just worrying that the literary backpack was too small. Aren't we so in tune with each other?!"
An Wenjing held a dozen chicken mushrooms in her hand.
Seeing the big basket that Chen Hui handed over, he happily put the things in his hands into it.
Looking at An Wenyi who was photographing mushrooms in front, he asked in confusion: "Brother Chen Hui, is this the job you assigned to her?"
"Well, take a picture. You can take a picture of the fungal spores under the umbrella. You can come back and collect more next time."
"If there are two light rains, it will probably take seven or eight days."
"Find her something to do, so that this little brat won't run around again."
"There's a salary, and a candy!" Chen Hui said with a smile.
"Hahaha, the price of this child laborer is not high, we can afford it." An Wenjing also laughed.
He squatted down and began to carefully deal with the chicken mushrooms on the ground.
Picking chicken mushrooms is different from picking other mushrooms. You cannot just break it off or pull it out.
The stalk of the chicken mushroom is slender, and a large part of it is stuck in the soil. You need to pry open some of the soil around the mushroom and try to pull out the complete root.
The chicken mushroom with broken roots is a defective product. It is okay to eat it yourself, but it will affect the selling price if you sell it.
An Wenjing carefully pulled out two complete roots, and when she looked back, she saw that Chen Hui had four or five half-roots in his hand.
He stopped him, put his own in front of him and said: "Brother Chen Hui, you can't do this, you have to pull it out slowly and try to pull it out completely."
"You're just eating, why are you so particular?"
"According to your standards, it will take us until dark to pull out so many trees," said Chen Hui.
"The chicken mushrooms can still be sold at a high price in the market. If you find a few, just pick them and eat them at home."
"With so much, of course we need to sell it, so you have to go slow," said An Wenjing.
"Okay!" Chen Hui nodded and put the broken ones in his hand into An Wenyi's small basket.
"Huh? I thought you would say, 'Selling chicken mushrooms only makes a few dollars, it's better than if I just go to the sea and catch a fish.'" An Wenjing was a little surprised.
