How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 40 Delicious Morels
Seeing Chen Yixuan and his sons eating porridge in a hurry and looking very hungry, Chen Feiyan lowered her head and took stock of their harvest today.

Two full-month-old piglets and three chicks.More than ten kilograms of grain.There is also a pile of unsold straw sandals and straw curtains.

Looking at the two thin and small black pigs, the smile on Chen Feiyan's mouth rose crazily.

This was something that could make a lot of money, so she had to watch it carefully!

Seeing the two little pigs shivering in this cold spring and still humming, Chen Feiyan hesitated for a moment, then scooped two spoons of hot thick porridge for them and put the porridge bowl over. .

The two little pigs smelled the aroma of food and ran over wagging their tails.

I ate so hard that I wasn't even full after finishing the porridge.

Knowing that Chen Feiyan still had food on hand, these two piglets, which had been hungry for who knows how many days, were still circling around her trouser legs.

Chen Yixuan has finished three large bowls of thick porridge.He took off all his clothes that were soaked by the drizzle and squatted by the stove to warm himself.

Seeing that his wife wanted to scoop up a spoonful of precious grain for the pigs, he said in time: "Daughter-in-law, please stop feeding. Tomorrow morning, I will take my sons to the mountains to cut pig grass. Moreover, there are still pig grass on this mountain. There is a kind of paper mulberry. The leaves on that tree are eaten by pigs. Pigs can grow meat most easily."

Hearing this, Chen Feiyan immediately sighed.

Then, after she collected the wooden bowl for the pigs, she took out a handful of mushrooms.

"Master, your brother and nephew picked this on the mountain today. Can you see if this is edible?"

Chen Yixuan took a closer look and immediately smiled.

"They were really lucky today. They actually picked morels. These morels usually grow in March, April and May. They are delicious and non-toxic. They can be sold in the county town, and one kilogram can fetch [-] yuan!"

Wang Yingying, who was sitting next to her, had her eyes glowing green when she heard that she could make money.

She pushed Chen Yixing next to her hard and told him to hurry up.

Chen Yixing also immediately put on his clothes and got up from the kang.He suppressed the smile on his lips and lowered his voice subconsciously: "Brother, you just said that these morels can be sold for money, right?"

Chen Yixuan nodded: "Well, it can indeed be sold for money!"

"Brother, where did you find it?"

Wang Yingying, who was standing behind Chen Yixing, looked nervous when she heard this. She secretly pinched the flesh of her man's waist and twisted it hard.The meaning was very obvious, telling him not to tell the truth.

However, Chen Yixing seemed not to feel the pain. He grinned and said: "Brother, while there is no one outside, I will take you to pick it now! There is a large piece of this in that small mountain valley! If I had known it earlier, This thing is edible, so my son and I should pick more of it..."

After hearing this, Chen Yixuan didn't hide his secrets.

Let’s start introducing the morel market bit by bit.

"The morels will grow in low-temperature and humid places from the end of March to the beginning of May every year. About once every ten days, we can harvest a crop of morels."

"This crop of morels has the firmest flesh, a darker color, a strong fragrance, and no insect holes. Restaurants and pharmacies will basically charge [-] cents per pound."

"The second and third crops of morels don't taste as good as the first crop. Restaurants usually charge about twelve cents."

"This last morel, which is the tail stubble, is lighter in color than the previous ones. Moreover, the texture and taste of the morels have become dull. They cannot be sold at a high price. The restaurant will probably charge [-] to [-] cents. Just charge the price per kilogram.”

Noticing that Chen Yixing was deep in thought and Wang Yingying's expression was changing rapidly, Chen Yixing suddenly spoke again. "I have sold these morels before... and I actually planted the morels in that field secretly. I have been so busy recently that I forgot to take care of the morels in that field. Who would have thought that my brother and I are destined to go to the mountains and find that place by chance."

When Chen Yixing and Wang Yingying heard this, their expressions suddenly stretched.

I thought this was my chance to make money and get rich!Unexpectedly, the joy was all in vain...

Chen Yixuan saw that their faces were so disgusting, he suddenly said again. "Brother, there are a lot of good things on this mountain!"

"In this spring, there are water celery, duck celery, mint, wild onions, rhizomes, raspberries, bulrush roots, nightshades, acacias, wild chrysanthemums, bracken, white thorns... As long as you know them, If you pick a lot, you will definitely make money by selling it to the county.”

When Chen Yixing heard this, he seemed to realize that he was facing countless treasure mountains. As long as his younger brother was willing to teach him, he would have many opportunities to make money in the future.

"Brother, let's pick that piece of morels early today, right?"

"If you get that thing to the county town and sell it for money as soon as possible, your family's burden will be lighter. I will also learn more from you."

Chen Yixing, who has not done any farm work for more than ten years and has long been accustomed to living a wealthy life, has long forgotten all the education he received from his grandfather when he was young.

He had a vague impression.He remembered that his grandfather seemed to have taught him medical books.It's a pity that he was too tired of learning at that time, and always felt that medical books, arithmetic, and agricultural knowledge were all heretical.When it comes to taking exams for scholars and candidates, they don't know how to do it. ... Therefore, he memorized these aspects by rote. When his grandfather wanted to spot-check him, he remembered it.After a while, he forgot about it.

More than ten years have passed by, and he has forgotten all his previous life experiences in the countryside.

Now he has to start from scratch in the countryside. Chen Yixing always feels that without a leader to guide him, he will definitely not be able to do farm work well in the future.

Rural people cannot do farm work well, and it is difficult to live a good life.

After agreeing to go out tonight, Chen Yixing took his son Wang Jihe, followed by Chen Yixuan and his son, all carrying baskets on their backs.

Generally speaking, rural people are thrifty and work hard.

During the double snatching season, many rural people can work all night until dawn without getting tired.

Everyone knows that there is money to be made. Two brothers, Chen Yixuan and Chen Yixing, took their sons and touched the area where morels were growing.

They carried more than ten kilograms of morels in their backpacks.

On the way back, when passing by the beach of the Youshui River, Chen Yixuan stopped and led everyone to cut down a pile of reeds.

While they were taking a break from cutting grass, Chen Yixuan went to the river and caught a few snakehead fish weighing more than a kilogram in a grass cage.

The group returned home with a full load before dawn.

When they got home, they lay on the bed and slept.He was so tired that he snored.

Early the next morning, Chen Yixuan got up early and began to carefully dry the morels.

Chen Feiyan, who was sitting aside, was studying hard.

At this time, she had realized that the man beside her actually had a lot of wisdom in life.

It's no wonder that in the past few years, he was able to support his family by himself.
