Chapter 198 Discovering New Things

Thinking of this, Baiyunxi took out his sickle, cleared away the shrub branches blocking the road, and groped his way over a mountain col to the opposite slope.

Standing on the hillside and looking at the surrounding mountains and forests, the vegetation here is more lush and messy than in the outer mountains.

This is the boundary between the inner and outer mountains. Because of the rumors of ferocious beasts in the mountains, not many people come here on weekdays. Even young men, no one is bold enough to go inside.

Baiyun Xi stood on a protruding stone and carefully looked around to see if there was any edible fruit to take back.

As a last resort, Baiyunxi circled the mountain. Just when she was about to turn away in despair, she found a dead tree covered with fungus in a shady place.

Looking at the fat and tender fungus with white down, Baiyunxi was very happy.

This is good stuff. If you don’t eat it all and dry it, you can keep it for a year.

Finally, the trip was not in vain. Baiyunxi put down the basket and started picking. The basket was full after picking the dead tree halfway.

Baiyunxi made a mark next to it and asked her son to come over and pick it together during the lunch break. It would be great if they could carry the whole piece of wood home.

I heard that dead wood that can produce fungus will grow again next year as long as you sprinkle water regularly to keep the wood moist.

I pressed the basket again and again until it was full. Baiyunxi picked up the basket and was about to leave when a gust of wind blew and a furry thing landed at his feet with a snap.

As soon as Bai Yunxi stepped forward, he stepped on it without paying attention, and it cracked with a click.

Looking at the brown fruit that she stepped out, Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment, looked down, and her eyes suddenly widened.

This thing should be Maolizi, right?

Bai Yunxi squatted down, carefully picked up the furry shell, looked at the brown hard cores inside to confirm again, and then laughed uncontrollably.

Fortunately, she had participated in many outdoor activities before and knew the appearance of hairy chestnuts. Otherwise, she would have really missed out on a delicious food.

He searched along his feet, and sure enough, he found a few more thorny fruits. Baiyun Xi was very happy. Sure enough, every time he went into the mountain, he had different harvests.

This kind of delicious food wrapped in spiny balls can be fried, fried, or used as a staple food. It can be crushed into chestnut noodles and eaten with other mixed noodles. It is very hungry.

Baiyun Xi raised his head and looked up in the direction of the wind. Sure enough, he found a few chestnut trees. The fluffy thorn balls were hidden among the yellowing leaves. It was really hard to find them.

Baiyunxi was not only surprised, but also a little confused. No one here knew that this could be eaten?

In my memory, there is no trace of chestnut.

After discovering something new, Bai Yunxi walked back with the basket on his back. He was afraid that he would get lost, so he marked the tree with a sickle.

Returning to the east hillside via the original route, Li saw him as soon as he appeared on the hillside.

He ran over and took over the building from her, "Mom, why have you been gone for so long?"

Before Baiyunxi could speak, Mrs. Li was surprised to find the fungus in the basket.

"Mom, why did you pick up so many fungus?"

Baiyun Xi took a breath and walked to a piece of hay to sit down and rest.

"I saw that there was nothing on the edge, so I walked a little further in to see what food I could bring back. Unexpectedly, I came across a dead wood pile with a lot of fungus growing on it."

"We will pick the rest later and go home to dry them so we can keep them for eating."

Li nodded. Fungus is a good thing. When it rains, people in the village will run to the mountains to pick it.

Doctor Yang said that eating fungus is good for your health, and everyone has remembered it.
