Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 356 Picking Mushrooms 2

After arriving in the mountains, everyone dispersed and kept a distance from each other.

Grandpa Zhao already knew about mushrooms, and Lu Chuan had picked mushrooms before, so Xu Han was not too worried about the two of them.

But I was still somewhat worried about the Taoist priest. I was afraid that he would pick up poisonous mushrooms. I was even more afraid that he would touch the poisonous mushrooms and then touch his mouth or other food.

We will be doomed by then, and we don’t know whether Grandpa Zhao can detoxify the bacteria.

Xu Hanyou, who was really worried, found the Taoist priest and took a few mushrooms from the space as samples and handed them to the Taoist priest.

"Master, take these mushrooms. Pick only these. Do not pick up other mushrooms that you do not recognize. Do not touch them with your hands. If you get poisoned, you will be doomed."

Seeing Xu Han's serious expression, the Taoist priest smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore."

Having said that, he still took the sample handed over by Xu Han.

Seeing that the Taoist priest looked serious, Xu Han didn't know what to say, so she lowered her head and began to look for mushrooms.

As I searched for a while, I gradually forgot about it.

There are many kinds of mushrooms in the mountains, including green mushrooms, milk mushrooms, chicken mushrooms, and other miscellaneous mushrooms. Xu Han picked them all up as soon as he saw them.

Put all the miscellaneous things together and pick them out individually when you get home in the evening.

"Wife, my backpack is full. How much have you picked up?" Lu Chuan walked over with the backpack on his back and asked.

"You're lucky today! But mine's almost full." Xu Han showed her backpack to Lu Chuan.

"Hahaha, picking mushrooms is really like picking money. No wonder you all like to pick mushrooms. Look at the mushrooms I picked." The Taoist priest also ran over from the side and said excitedly.

Xu Han took the Taoist's backpack and looked through it carefully. Seeing that the Taoist picked up the same types of mushrooms that he had just shown him, he felt relieved instantly.

It seems that the Taoist priest is not as unreliable as he usually appears.

"Picking mushrooms is fun, right? I told you and you still don't believe it." Lu Chuan said proudly.

"So you think this is a joke?" Xu Han felt embarrassed instantly.

It is true that men remain young until they die. This saying is absolutely true. Whether in ancient times or modern times, this saying applies to all men.

Lu Chuan scratched his head in embarrassment and changed the subject, "The backpack is full, please get me an empty one."

"I want one too. This one isn't full yet! Just pour it together with your backpack and give me an empty one." The Taoist priest also spoke.

"Okay, but it's getting dark, so you should pay attention to the time and don't pick it up too late."

"Oh, I see."

Xu Han put away Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest's backpacks, then went to find Grandpa Zhao and poured out the mushrooms in Grandpa Zhao's backpack to avoid having too many mushrooms and making it too heavy to carry.

"How much have you picked up?" Grandpa Zhao asked Xu Han.

"Lu Chuan picked up a basket, and the Taoist priest and I picked up most of the basket."

"Then today's harvest is pretty good. Mu'er and I also picked up some, but not as much as you did."

"What's the big deal? You guys are here for class today, but we're here specifically to see Junzi. How can it be the same?"

After Xu Han finished speaking, she patted Mu'er's head and said, "Mu'er, follow your great grandfather and learn well. When you go back, your mother will make you some egg custard."

"Okay, I know mushrooms."

"Great!" Xu Han praised again, and then continued to pick mushrooms.

The few of them didn't start preparing to go back until the sun was about to set.

"Let's go back. It's getting late. If we don't go back now, it will be dark." Grandpa Zhao shouted to the people in front.

"I'm here, I'll go back soon." Lu Chuan responded, and Xu Han and the Taoist priest also started walking towards this side.

"Today's harvest is pretty good. After this wave of mushrooms is picked, I will make mushroom jam for you." Xu Han said.

"This is good, especially the chicken mushroom oil. It's so delicious." Lu Chuan was the first to agree.

"Is it the one you used to mix with noodles before?" asked the Taoist priest.

Because the Taoist priest and his companions arrived late, there was only a little bit of the chicken mushroom oil left. The Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao only ate it twice and it was gone.

As for other mushroom sauces, I ate them a few times, but not much and they were all finished in a short time.

Several of them hadn't eaten mushroom sauce for a long time.

"Yes, it's the sauce we had with the noodles that time." Xu Han replied.

"Then we have to make more. We only ate it twice and it was gone. I still remember the taste." Grandpa Zhao also interjected.

"Hahaha, okay, I'll make more this year and make sure you guys have enough to eat. And then you can take some away for Yunhua and Yunyun."

"These mushrooms are definitely not enough. Let's continue picking mushrooms tomorrow," suggested the Taoist priest.

Hearing this, Lu Chuan laughed out loud, "See, no one can resist me picking mushrooms. The Taoist priest also likes picking mushrooms."

When the Taoist priest saw Lu Chuan like this, he just rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.

"Okay, we've almost finished picking up the trash on this hillside today, so let's go somewhere else tomorrow. We won't go to places far from home, as it's not worth it to walk so far back and forth."

There are more mushrooms this year than in previous years, and there will definitely be enough for us to eat." Xu Han agreed.

"Hahaha, if I didn't have to tutor Mu'er at home, I would have wanted to go with you." Grandpa Zhao said with a smile.

"It's okay. If Grandpa Zhao wants to pick mushrooms, just come along. It's okay to waste a day." Xu Han said.

"Forget it. I'm at home taking care of the kids, and I can't disrupt the habits I've worked so hard to develop. Otherwise, it will be hard to change them later."

Xu Han thought about it and felt that what Grandpa Zhao said was right, so she continued, "It's okay to go out and pick mushrooms in the afternoon. You can't study at home all day, so it's necessary to go out for a walk."

"Okay then. I'll bring Mu'er out to pick mushrooms tomorrow afternoon."

A few of them chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, they arrived home.

Although the group hurried as fast as they could, by the time they got home, the sun had already set and the sky was slowly getting darker.

After arriving home, Xu Han took out the chicken mushrooms she had picked today, made a chicken mushroom and pork soup, and stir-fried a portion of chicken mushrooms with hot peppers, and paired them with other dishes. The whole family was so happy eating it.

"Hahaha, this chicken mushroom tastes really good. Although I've eaten the chicken mushrooms made by Xiaohan before, why do I feel that the mushrooms I picked myself are more fragrant?" Grandpa Zhao said after taking a sip of the soup.

"That's because you participated in the labor, so you feel that today's mushrooms are more delicious." The Taoist priest replied without even raising his head while eating.
