Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 119: Collecting Mushrooms (3040)

After saying goodbye to Feng Jie and Yu Yu, Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi drove directly back to the village.

Continue to help pick peaches.

"What's wrong? You seem distracted. What are you thinking about? Worried about the rain?"

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue and couldn't help but ask.

The sky was getting darker, not just that it was almost evening, but that dark clouds were gathering and blocking out the sunlight.

It looked like it was going to rain.

If it rains, it may affect the peach picking tomorrow.

"There's nothing to worry about if it rains. I just suddenly remembered that patch of chicken mushrooms from last time." Xu Yue said, "Do you think it's possible that patch has grown again?"

"It's definitely not possible today. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, let's go check it out early in the morning." Zhang Ruoxi said, "Does the Altissima paniculata grow back?"

"We haven't destroyed the ant nest, so it should still grow." Xu Yue said, "It will definitely rain tonight, but I don't know how long it will last."

Not only did he not destroy the ant nest, he also watered it with spiritual rain water.

It is estimated that it has grown, but whether it will be in time is still doubtful.

Maybe it's already rotten.

After all, the growth cycle of chicken mushroom is only about twenty days to one month.

It rained that night.

The rain was not heavy, and there was still some drizzle the next day.

Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi worked with the workers to pick today's vegetables in the rain.

Every worker was given a raincoat, so the light rain naturally had no effect.

Zhang Ruoxi bought that raincoat online.

Employee benefits!

I bought not only raincoats but also rain boots.

Xu Yue laughed at her capitalist thinking at the time, saying that she was afraid that her employees would not work if it rained.

Then he was beaten.

The kind that doesn't dare to fight back.

"Uncle, are the chickens, ducks, and sheep all right?"

After picking the vegetables, Xu Yue returned to the bamboo house and met Li Juemin, and asked casually.

"It's okay," Li Juemin said. "At night, they all go back to the shed. I even went to check on them last night."

Xu Yue nodded.

Li Juemin is still very responsible.

It was still drizzling, so we didn't continue picking peaches.

There's no rush after all.

After lunch, the weather cleared up, and Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi put on their backpacks and prepared to go into the mountains.

Continue picking peaches.

"rhubarb!"

Xu Yue shouted loudly, but there was no sign of him.

"It just rained, you want to go into the mountains?"

Li Xiurong said she was obviously worried about her safety.

"There are more mushrooms after the rain!" Xu Yue said, "Let's go to the place where we picked a large patch of Alstonia arborescens last time."

"Be careful." Li Xiurong said.

Although he knew that his son was very capable and that his future daughter-in-law was in good health, he could not help but worry.

"Did that dog Da Huang run off to the mountains again?" Li Xiurong continued angrily, "If you see him, beat him back!"

This old dog actually started going out early and coming back late.

If he hadn't known to come back at night, I would have beaten him to death.

"You two little guys are not allowed to imitate Da Huang!"

Li Xiurong spoke to Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua again.

The two little guys didn't understand anything and just wagged their tails and rubbed Li Xiurong's feet.

Xu Yue smiled, picked up an axe and took Zhang Ruoxi into the mountains.

Zhang Ruoxi also took a sickle.

It rained and the mountain road became more difficult to walk on.

The road was a bit slippery, but it didn't pose a problem for Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi.

I don’t know if it’s been a while since we’ve been picking mushrooms, or if it’s been raining, but there are a lot of mushrooms in the mountains. We both picked up quite a few along the way.

"Actually, we can pick them up when we come back," Zhang Ruoxi said. "What if there are a lot of chicken mushrooms growing there again?"

"Don't worry!"

Xu Yue smiled and took out a few plastic bags from his pocket.

"You're really well prepared!"

Zhang Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.

If it's really as much as last time, there's no need to worry.

Will there be so many?

No!

However, it is not much less.

There are over a hundred flowers, some big and some small, which is definitely a great harvest.

Unfortunately, many of them were rotten and some even had maggots.

It was not fresh, so neither Xu Yue nor anyone else wanted it.

The two returned happily and met Huang Liang.

"Mr. Xu, you picked up so many Altissimas in the mountains?" Huang Liang asked. "Give them to me. You can't eat so much! And the quality is so good! Mr. Xu, can you cultivate wild Altissimas?"

"My Hericium erinaceus and Morchella edodes haven't shown any results yet," Xu Yue said. "As for Alpinia hortensis, it seems that only the black Alpinia hortensis can be cultivated nowadays?"

"Mr. Xu, you can research it." Huang Liang said, "These won't be hard to sell!"

"Let's talk about it later." Xu Yue said, "Let's wait until the Hericium erinaceus and morels are ready."

"Your scale is a bit small." Huang Liang said, "If it succeeds, we have to expand it."

"Take these!" Xu Yue picked out some mushrooms to eat himself, then pointed at the remaining mushrooms and said, "Business is business, you have to pay."

"Can I get it for free?" Huang Liang said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, there should be a lot of wild mushrooms in the mountains. I'll give you a price later. Can you help me collect them? The mountains are a treasure trove!"

"it is good!"

Xu Yue nodded.

The purchase price is one, and the selling price is naturally another.

He doesn't think much of this money, but it can also bring a lot of income to the village.

Some people in the village pick mushrooms to sell, but there aren't many.

The main reason is that it is not easy to sell.

Huang Liang asked someone to take the mushrooms away.

Mainly chicken mushroom.

That thing is very popular.

He didn't say how much it cost, and Xu Yue didn't care.

How much does a pound of Alpinia hornbeam cost now?
It’s hard to say about other places, but they only have over a hundred here.

I guess those mushrooms of his can be sold for less than ten thousand!
A few thousand dollars, just a drop in the bucket.

However, for other villagers, this would be a huge income.

Not to mention earning a few thousand a day, there are not many people who earn a few thousand a month.

I guess only the people hired by Xu Yue in the village can do it.

"Fourth Grandpa, you are here too?"

Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi went to Taoyuan and happened to see Xu Chengmin.

He didn't pick the peaches, but watched from the side.

"Look," Xu Chengmin said, "before, there were only a few peaches, and they were sour and astringent. Now they are big and sweet. Xiao Yue must be really capable. Even an old peach tree can produce such good fruit."

Xu Chengmin didn't know how much the peaches were sold for, but even if they were the same price as the peaches on the market, the income from such a large peach orchard would be considerable.

"I invested quite a bit of money in it," Xu Yue said casually, then continued, "Fourth Grandpa, it's just right. I remember our village also has a group chat. Can you send a message saying that my family collects wild mushrooms, as long as they are edible."

Their village is vast and sparsely populated, with houses basically not adjacent to each other, and there are no loudspeakers in the village.

However, there is one text messaging group.

Many notifications are sent in the group.

"Xiao Yue, do you want to collect the dried mushrooms?"

A villager who was picking peaches heard Xu Yue's words and quickly asked.

"Uncle Dashan! I collect mushrooms, even if they are used." Xu Yue said with a smile, "By the way, Uncle Dashan, you are very experienced and should know all the mushrooms in the mountains. Why don't you help me collect them? I will pay you. In your free time, you can also go into the mountains to pick mushrooms and sell them."
