Chapter 443 Matsutake mushrooms come out 2
Zhou Guo couldn't find anyone, so he didn't give any instructions.
The black and bold one beside him also wagged his tail and tried to catch up. Zhou Guo said quickly, "You can't go. You have to stay and watch the house after I leave. We can't be home without anyone. If you see someone trying to enter the house and is sneaky, don't be polite. Go up and bite him. Do you hear me?"
"Wang Wang Wang!"
Zhou Guo was very satisfied. Now Hei Dadan had really become Hei Dadan. He had grown quite big. When he stood up, he was almost as tall as her. It looked like he was still growing. His black fur had become even darker and longer. His tail stood up like a ponytail, and his fur spread out. He had never seen a local dog with such long fur.
But this black, bold, majestic and handsome dog is so attractive that several female dogs come to their house every day and circle around it, which is a lot of fun to watch.
After explaining everything to Hei Dadan, Zhou Guo followed the old man. Since there were no outsiders around, the two of them ran at full speed. Zhou Guo used all her strength to avoid being left behind. Looking at the old man in front of her who was easily keeping the same distance from her, she sighed in her heart. She didn't know when her lightness skill and leg strength would become so good.
No matter how fast or slow she went, no matter how hard she tried, the old man was always far away from her.
The two went into the mountains and started looking from the hill where they first found the fungus last year.
Zhou Guo buried his head and searched on the ground for a quarter of an hour. After walking a long way, he finally found the first flower.
She picked up this one and said to the old man not far away: "Master, if I hadn't found one now, I would have doubted whether the two mushrooms you picked were real."
The old man blew his beard and glared, "Of course it's not true, how can pine mushrooms be faked? You've seen it and even touched it, how can you doubt it? Look for it quickly, have your eyesight been damaged by the compost in the backyard? How did it take you so long to find this one? Can we still have a good meal tonight?"
Thinking of the taste of fried pine mushrooms, he couldn't help swallowing.
After thinking for a while, he said, "You pick it up first, I'll be back soon."
Finished talking and left.
Zhou Guo didn't care. She had already explored the mountain thoroughly. Although it was not like her own back garden, it was not much different from her own private mountain. She was not afraid to go alone. Picking mushrooms was so much fun, especially these expensive and delicious delicacies. It was a blessing from God to pick one!
Not far away, I saw two more flowers, one big and one small. Both had just grown and had not yet opened. They were round and long, and so beautiful!
She was so obsessed with picking pine mushrooms that she didn't know how long the old man had been gone. When she came to her senses, he had already returned with his things.
She looked carefully and saw two badgers lying on the ground. She couldn't help but mourn for the badgers in the forest. Now that the pine mushrooms had appeared, the badgers on the mountain would be in trouble again.
The old man twisted his long beard and said, "I ran a long way to catch these two. They are quite fat and have a lot of oil. They should be enough to last for a while."
Zhou Guo lowered his head and nodded, looking for every piece of land carefully.
Seeing this, the old man also lowered his head and began to search.
The two stayed in the woods for two or three hours. They ate a few rice cakes and drank some water. As the sun was setting and it was difficult to see clearly in the woods, Zhou Guo got up.
After taking a sip of water, he called out to the old man who was not far away, with his graying head lowered and his butt sticking out, prying mushrooms: "Master, Master, it's getting late. Let's go back and come back tomorrow."
The old man stood up after a while and said excitedly: "Why are you in such a hurry? There are still several flowers here. I will pick these first."
Zhou Guo walked over and looked at the other flowers, which had already grown. He squatted down and picked them one by one. When he was done, he put them in the small backpack behind him and clapped his hands, saying, "Okay, we've finished picking them. Let's go."
Old man: "..."
He still held the small stick in his hand, eager to pry up a few flowers.
Seeing that he was still holding the stick, Zhou Guo waved his hand and said, "Hey, Master, these have already grown, why are you prying them? No need to pry them, leave some roots for them, maybe they will grow again next time. Let's go, get home before dark and scrape these out, otherwise it will be too dark and you won't be able to see them."
The old man had no choice but to get up from the ground, picking up two badgers and half a sack of pine mushrooms. They had been searching in the forest for more than three hours before they found this little bit.
The small backpack behind Zhou Guo was not even full. It seemed that the two of them had not found even a sack. If it were last year, the two of them would have picked up two sacks in more than three hours.
I don’t know whether the pine mushrooms haven’t grown up yet this year or there aren’t many of them.
She thought that if there weren't many fruits to begin with, then she wouldn't sell them and would just keep them all for herself.
The pine mushrooms that were dried last autumn were eaten up long ago even if we were frugal. If there aren't many this year, they will probably be gone before the Chinese New Year, so there won't be any left to sell.
The two of them hurried and arrived home when the sun was only a skirt away from setting outside. All the people playing football outside had returned home, and there was no one there. They must have gone home to eat.
The family members were relieved to see Zhou Guo come back.
Li opened her mouth and was about to say something, but when she saw the smiling old man behind her, she closed her mouth again.
Zhou Xing smiled and said, "I told you that. She's not at home, nor in the village. She must have gone into the mountains. Her small backpack and water bottle are gone. I told you not to worry, Second Aunt. She's back safe and sound. Besides, she's so capable, who can do anything to her?"
Zhou Guo was stunned for a moment, then he accepted the look she gave him, and immediately said with a smile: "Mom, look, my master and I have been searching in the mountains for most of the day, and we have found these, enough for us to have a good meal tonight."
The old man put down the sack and the badger and shouted, "Hurry up, while it's still light and visible, get to work."
Give an order.
Everyone was busy, some were dealing with badgers, some were dealing with pine mushrooms, some were washing slates...
Zhou Guo took out the barbecue grill from last year from the house. The grilled pine mushroom slices were also delicious, but the small stone slab was really too small.
Li had lost her temper a long time ago. In fact, the moment she saw Zhou Guo, she was more relieved than angry. Seeing her smiling like a little mouse, running in and out of the yard, busy as a whim, the remaining anger she had was long gone.
Roll up your sleeves and help.
The group worked quickly, and with so many people around, everything was ready before the sun completely set.
Zhou Guo took a bamboo knife and cut the pine mushrooms, from which he had scraped the mud, into slices one by one and placed them on an earth-colored ceramic plate. Now the family also had plates, but they bought the cheapest ones, which were either black or mud-colored. Everyone said they were ugly when they bought them.
