There's a rough guy next door to my house

Chapter 17

Staring blankly at the weeds all over the mountain, Baixu's nose moved, as if smelling a scent in the air.

Her eyes lit up, and she searched for the smell, and finally found a few clusters of Gallus pilosula fungus growing quietly beside the reeds on the mountain.

Bai Xu took a closer look, and after confirming that it was the right mushroom, he took out his phone and took two pictures, smiling very happily.

Now that we have found the Gallus pilosula, we must dig it home and make egg soup.

Bai Xu touched his empty pockets, there was only a pack of papers left besides the mobile phone, what should I use to dig it?
The roots of the gallinaceous fungus can also be eaten, but most of them go deep into the soil, and pulling them out directly will break them, which is very wasteful.

Of course, Bai Xu was reluctant to waste such a good thing, so he looked around, and finally broke off a thick and thick stick on an apricot tree, and dug directly.

The sun shone on the white and tender arms, and she, who was wearing a straw hat, felt the heat in the air.

Fortunately, it rained two days ago, and the soil was relatively loose, so it was possible to dig out the chrysalis with wooden sticks.

At first, Baixu just saw five collybia fungus on the surface of the soil, but at the end of the digging, there were still two in the soil that hadn't emerged yet.

The chicken fir fungus that hasn't sprouted is so tender that it can be eaten directly, but there is too much dirt on it, and Baixu expresses its dislike.

After digging out the whole fungus, Baixu picked two zong leaves from the wasteland to wrap it.

The connection of the rhizome of Gallus pilosula is very fragile, and it will break if you are not careful, so you must protect it with something.

She also dug twice when she was a child, anyway, it is not easy to find the callus fir fungus.

Looking at the mud in the palm of his hand, Bai Xu happily walked home.

There is something delicious tonight.

Stepping into the house, Liu Xiao was still sweeping the floor. She raised her head and frowned at her daughter's mysterious appearance.

"What's the matter, this is?" She was sneaky, maybe she felt that she went to the wrong house?

Bai Xu smiled obscenely, and came to Liu Xiao and lifted the leaves, revealing a few dusty fungi inside.

"Mom, look quickly."

Huh!Liu Xiao was very surprised, the callus fir fungus came out so early?Didn't we have to wait until the end of the month before it rained for the second time.

She threw the broom away, took the fungus from her daughter, and walked to the kitchen with a happy smile while talking.

"So much? Where did you get it? The little guy is lucky."

Good luck, so much, enough to eat two meals.

"Nanshan." Bai Xu followed her into the kitchen and said with a smile.

The location over there is hidden. She didn't clean up the surrounding soil, so she might dig it again later.

Liu Xiao nodded. Their area is very talented, backed by mountains, there are a lot of fungus, and there are also villagers who specialize in picking fungus to sell.

Chicken fir fungus is also considered a mountain delicacy, and it is very rare in their countryside. In the city, it can be sold for hundreds of yuan per catty, and it is not easy to buy.

"Go and wash your hands." Looking at the mud on Bai Xu's little hands, Liu Xiao ordered helplessly.

She put the chicken fir fungus on the stove, thought for a while, and asked Bai Xu, who was washing her hands next to her, "Xiaobai, why don't we send half to your second aunt's house?"

There are seven flowers here, probably two to three catties, and their family can't finish them in one meal, and they won't be fresh the next day.

Thinking of Second Aunt Bai's kindness to Bai Xu, she thought it would be just right for the two families to share the food.

Bai Xu didn't expect this, and immediately agreed with her mother.

"Okay, I'll send it to my second aunt right away."

Liu Xiao smiled, took a small basket and threw a piece of cloth on it, picked three better fungi to put on it, and covered it with leaves.

"go Go."

After driving away the white catkins, she started to deal with the muddy fungus again.

After leaving the house, Bai Xu sent a message to the village head as she left. She had to ask someone to weed the grass again, so she still went to the village head.

After arranging the weeding, Bai Xu wandered to her second uncle's house.

The door was ajar, and there was movement in the room, before Bai Xu entered the door, she shouted loudly, "Second Aunt."

It was still early at noon, her brother was in the nursery and her uncle was in the field, so only her second aunt was at home.

Sure enough, Second Aunt Bai ran to the door quickly, showing a generous smile, "Hey, Xiaobai is here, come in quickly."

Second Aunt Bai wiped her hands on her apron, and warmly invited Bai Xu in.

Bai Xu entered the door and handed over the things in her hand.

"Second Aunt, here are the fungi I dug on the mountain."

"What?" There are fungi on the mountain so early?
Second Aunt Bai took it curiously and saw that there were three plump white mushrooms lying in the basket, which were not light in weight.

"Xiaobai, did you go digging?"

Good luck, this level of cooking is just right.

Is the soil still fresh?
Bai Xu sat on the stool and nodded to her second aunt.

"Yes, I dug several flowers, and my mother asked me to send you half of them."

Second Aunt Bai blushed, looked at Bai Xu with some embarrassment, and joked while holding the basket in her hand.

"Oh, your mother really has enough, it would be nice to keep it for myself."

Not to mention that the fungus is expensive, on a hot day, Xiaobai has to travel so far to deliver it in person.

Bai Xu shook her head, and stared at Second Aunt Bai with a smile.

"Second Aunt, how can you say that, good things don't get half of everyone, right?"

Second Aunt Bai suddenly burst into laughter, the more she looked at Bai Xu, the more she liked it.

"Look at your mouth, the second aunt's heart is so sweet."

Her sister-in-law is like this. She always thinks about their family when she has any good things. She has been like this for decades, and she feels comforted in her heart.

Second Aunt Bai looked at the fungus, brought melon seeds candy for Bai Xu, and then turned and went to the kitchen.

"Then you sit down, Second Aunt will go and make room for you."

It seems that the soup tonight is going to be mouth-watering.

Bai Xu sat in front of the main room, took an orange and peeled it, not politely.

It's just that the oranges are a little sour, and her eyes are almost slit.

When Second Aunt Bai came back, the originally light basket was filled with heavy and big eggs.

Bai Xu's eyes widened, and she looked at her second aunt ridiculously.

"Second aunt, what are you doing? We still have eggs at home."

Isn't it just to give some fungus, why did you pack so many eggs for her?

Second Aunt Bai put the basket on the table, took the stool and sat down next to Bai Xu, staring at her reproachfully.

"Eggs don't care about the money, take them home and eat them. It happens to be used to make soup at night, you have to mend your claws well."

She only found out earlier that Bai Xu's hand was injured, and she resigned from the hospital.

Second Aunt Bai also felt uncomfortable, she also treated Bai Xu as her daughter.

The corners of Bai Xu's mouth raised, and he raised his eyebrows indifferently.

"Second Aunt, I don't need to make it up, it's okay. I won't take your eggs, I'll keep them for myself."

During the time she came home, she never lacked eggs. Her mother bought a lot of eggs for her to eat in the village.

Second Aunt Bai didn't listen to this, she pointed to the chicken coop in the corner of the yard, and asked Bai Xu to bring the eggs back.

"I raise so many chickens, and some of them are eggs. Don't worry, I can't finish them."

The eggs she gave were not worth as much as the mushrooms, mainly because there was nothing good to give Bai Xu.

It's not that Bai Xu's family doesn't have chickens, and the eggs are bought in the village, and she doesn't want her sister-in-law to send them over, so this is a good opportunity to send some eggs.

Well, Bai Xu pursed her lips and could only accept it.

But she thought that the next time she delivered something, she would just put it away and run away immediately.

After rejecting Aunt Bai's lunch invitation, Bai Xu strode home with a basket.

Seeing the man approaching, Bai Xu paused, and before she could evade, Xiao Lu's voice sounded.

"Host, host, here comes the mission again."

In the Lingquan space, Xiaolupao said beautifully in the water, it was Xiaozui who was anxious to pick and pull, which made Baixu think something was wrong.

"What task?" Bai Xu lowered her head to tie her shoelaces and asked aloud.

Being in debt is bad, not free at all.

Xiaolu drank the spirit spring liquid and spoke mischievously.

"Please look for mushrooms on the mountain to sell. The total price should exceed 1 yuan."

"..." It's difficult for the strong.

Bai Xu lowered her head and frowned, 1 yuan worth of bacteria?She's going to find out when to go.

Relying on her alone, it will be impossible to complete it next year.

"Don't worry, host, it's absolutely fine." Xiaolu said softly.

Who made her master bored and wanted to experience the fun of finding fungi.

Humans are so fun, and they can go up mountains and seas to find food.

Baixu's eyelids twitched wildly, are you sure it's all right?

She didn't want to be a fungus hunter in the village with a dog's nose on her body.

Huo Yi came over, looked at Bai Xu who had been squatting on the ground, groping for something, and couldn't help asking.

"Are you OK?"

I've been squatting on the ground for half a day, aren't my legs sore?
He didn't think in the direction that Bai Xu was deliberately avoiding him, and even wanted to go forward and help her find it.

Although he knew that Bai Xu had a boyfriend, he would not do anything out of the ordinary. Out of concern for the employees' families, it should be fine.

"Ah? It's okay, it's okay." Bai Xu frowned, and stood up abruptly, but suddenly blurred in front of her eyes, her feet were unsteady, and she was about to fall to the ground.

A strong arm stretched out and grabbed Bai Xu's wrist in time, preventing her from falling down.

But due to inertia, Bai Xu took a step forward uncontrollably, and his face directly hit his hard chest.

"Hiss..." It was so hard.

Bai Xu lowered her head and covered the tip of her nose, her eyes filled with tears, it hurt so much.

Those who didn't know thought she had hit the wall.

A drop of tear fell on the back of Huo Yi's hand, the obvious wetness surprised him, he quickly looked down at Bai Xu who was covering his face.

Why are you crying?

"..." What should he say?
"Does it hurt? I... I... Try to be more careful next time." Huo Yi was a little at a loss, he had never coaxed anyone before, and he didn't know what to do when a girl cried.

Thinking that there seemed to be a package of paper in his trouser pocket, he quickly reached out and fumbled for it.

Huo Yi handed over the wrapping paper, stumbled and opened his mouth, looking at Bai Xu's pretty little face full of tears, he was at a loss for words.

"Here, take it for you to use."

He pursed his thin lips tightly, his eyes were worried, and he kept his eyes on Bai Xu, not paying attention to what he took out.

"Thank you..." She held her numb nose and raised her head slightly. Just as she was about to take the paper, she saw the words on the package.

She opened her eyes wide, and after confirming again and again, she glared at Huo Yi angrily, and scolded him fiercely, "Dirty! Keep it for yourself."

Bai Xu snorted coldly, picked up the basket and rushed home, a lot of dust was picked up under her feet, Huo Yi was taken aback by watching so coherently.
