After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 738 Picking Mushrooms on the Mountain After the Rain

After everyone had finished their breakfast, they noticed that the sky outside had quietly become a little brighter.

When I came out, the sun was already struggling to peek out from behind the clouds.

The rain has lessened considerably.

If it was a light drizzle when I first woke up, it's now turning into a downpour.

The mist on the lake seemed to have thinned considerably, perhaps due to the sunlight.

When Guan Jing woke up early and found that it was indeed raining, she had already silently given up the idea of ​​going to see the waterfall. But now, looking at the sky gradually clearing up, she couldn't help but feel a little restless again.

However, we still need to consult with the other friends and ask Yuezhuo if it's still possible to climb the mountain after the rain.
If it's too wet and slippery, and you keep falling and climbing forward, then forget it.

Upon hearing her question, Yue Zhuo nodded in affirmation, "Sister Guan Guan, you can climb. It hasn't rained here for more than half a month. The little bit of rain that fell today will at most make the soil on the mountain a little more moist, but it's far from enough to make people slip."

He paused, then added, "But people who don't often go hiking should be careful. Locals like us are used to hiking since we were little and rarely fall. I bet quite a few people went up the mountain today to pick mushrooms that sprouted after the rain. There aren't many mushrooms yet this month, but if you're lucky, you can taste the first freshness of spring."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hanying asked, "Are those the mushrooms you gave me before?"

"Yes, those were all picked and dried, which makes them easier to preserve. But some mushrooms taste better fresh."

Yuan Chaoyu noticed that Jiang Hanying secretly swallowed, and barely managed to keep from rolling his eyes.

I just ate so much for breakfast, how can I still be so hungry!

Guan Jing's eyes were also bright. She had eaten the dried mushroom dish at the wedding banquet yesterday. This one was freshly picked and couldn't be fresher. She hadn't eaten it yet. After all, she had to wait for the right time, and now the time had just come.

"Shall we go for a walk in the mountains and see if we can find some mushrooms?"

Jiang Hanying was the first to raise her hand, "I can."

Others also said they had no objections.

It's not that I particularly want to eat it, but mainly because I haven't picked any before, and they all seem very fresh.

The trip to try our luck picking mushrooms and see the waterfall along the way was decided without hesitation.

The viewers in the live stream watched as the guests, upon returning to Xunwei Xiaozhu, quickly changed into hiking boots and waterproof clothing, and enthusiastically prepared to head up the mountain. Some were expectant, while others were worried.

[Let's go! I love watching videos of mushroom picking in the rain!]

It just rained; the waterfall's flow should be stronger now.

[It's highly likely that the waterfall's flow will increase, making it even more spectacular than yesterday.]

However, wild waterfalls like these can be quite dangerous, so it's best to stay away and be careful.

The guests are aware of the risks and wouldn't put themselves in danger just to see the waterfall. The production team should also have appropriate safety measures in place.

[Wouldn't it be dangerous for the guests to go mushroom picking? What if they accidentally picked a poisonous one?]

【Isn't there also this local, Yue Zhuo?】

[Yue Zhuo is only a young boy, barely an adult. Relying on him to identify people isn't very reliable. I suggest the production team find an experienced local to supervise the process; that would be much safer.]

That's true. There are quite a few poisonous mushrooms in the south, and even locals occasionally get sick from them. It's best to be cautious.

As the group walked down the mountain in the drizzle, they saw many more figures carrying small bamboo baskets in the camera's view, including men, women, and children.

They all looked like they were preparing to go up the mountain to find nature's bounty.

"Are you also planning to go mushroom picking in the mountains?" Guan Jing smiled and nodded at the old woman who greeted her. "Yes, we're going to try our luck."

Looking at the eager young people in front of her, the old woman couldn't help but kindly remind them: "If you see any mushrooms, don't just pick them. Some of the mushrooms on our mountain are edible but poisonous, and some are not only poisonous but also inedible. If you find any, ask Zhuozhuo to take a look first. Only pick them if he tells you to."

"Okay, I understand, Grandma."

"But don't be too afraid. Zhuozhuo is a very capable child. He and his third grandfather know the most mushrooms in this area. Even when we encounter mushrooms we don't recognize, we have to take them to ask the grandfather and grandson for advice. You can rest assured." After praising her capable younger generation, the old woman waved her hand and said, "Why don't you just follow us up? The soil on the mountain has become soft after the rain, so we have to make sure every step is firm. Just follow my footprints, and we'll separate when we get to the top."

Mushroom picking doesn't involve a large group of people gathering together. In addition, it's only early spring and not yet the rainy season when mushrooms grow most vigorously, so there aren't many mushrooms on this mountain to begin with. Basically, if someone has already claimed this area, others will consciously not go over there.

However, the number of mushrooms occupying an area really depends on eyesight, experience, and a bit of luck.

"Thank you for showing me the way, Grandma."

Before long, most of the people who had gone up the mountain to pick mushrooms had arrived.

The old woman called out, grabbed a bamboo stick that had been worn smooth, and strode ahead to clear the way.

The guests quickly followed, one step at a time, until the fire broke through the rear.

Viewers in the live stream watched the guests struggle to climb the mountain while sending encouraging messages in the chat.

Come on, come on! We're so young, we can't let the grandpas and grandmas ahead of us lose!

To be honest, most young people these days don't seem to have the same physical strength as retired seniors.

[Uh, there's no way to refute that!]

This mountain doesn't look very high from a distance, but it feels quite steep once you start climbing it.

[Wow, it's so green! The air in these mountains must be incredibly fresh.]

[Is Yuezhuo really that amazing? She's even better than Grandma!]

The truly formidable one should be Yue Zhuo's third grandfather.

[Is that the elderly man in the wheelchair I saw at the village chief's house the day before yesterday? He seemed like a highly respected and respected doctor in the village.]

"We're here!" The old woman stopped under a huge tree that one person couldn't wrap their arms around, pointed in a direction, and said, "I'm going that way. You guys be careful where you walk, don't get so caught up in looking for mushrooms that you don't watch your step."

They're going to separate.

The live stream camera also took some shots of the path they had just climbed up, as well as their surroundings.

The footprints were haphazard and winding; without a local guide, it would have been difficult to climb up so smoothly.

In the surrounding mountains and fields, the people who had gone up the mountain had already scattered, each searching in areas where they felt there were many mushrooms.

"Grandma, please be careful. I wish you a fruitful day."

"Okay, okay, let's go, I need to hurry too."

Soon only the guests, the cameramen carrying equipment, and several staff members remained on the spot.

Guan Jing took a deep breath of the cool, moist air after the rain, looked around, and then asked Yue Zhuo, "Xiao Zhuo, which way do you think we should go? We'll do whatever you say on this mountain."

Yue Zhuo, not to be outdone, pointed in the opposite direction from where the old woman had just left, "Let's go over there then. The waterfall is in that direction too. Last winter, I dug up a few pounds of pig mushrooms under a tree over there. I wonder if there are any left this year."

"Pig-root mushroom?" Chi Song's expression shifted. "Black truffle?"

Wow, black truffles! Where are they? I'm going to dig some up too!
