Chapter 444 Everyone Enters the Mountain
In fact, she felt that this was much better looking than those crudely made, cheap-looking white porcelain plates with blue and red patterns on the stalls, but unfortunately no one appreciated the plates she chose.
Look at these white mushroom slices placed on this black plate, how beautiful they look!
It makes you want to eat it at first sight.
The old men placed the mushroom slices one by one on the stone slab and the barbecue grill.
The mushroom slices sizzle under the action of oil, giving off an incomparable aroma!
"Gulp!" A loud sound of swallowing saliva was heard.
When everyone looked over, they saw Zhou Su sitting next to Zhou Guo, craning his neck to stare at the mushroom slices on the stone slab on the barbecue grill without blinking. Hei Dadan, who was sitting next to him, stuck out his tongue, drooling like a string, and his eyes were sparkling.
Everyone pointed at Heidao and laughed, "I've never seen such a greedy dog. If you don't know, you would think it's a person in dog skin."
Seeing everyone laughing like that, Hei Dadan raised his ignorant head and opened his mouth even wider, so that his saliva dripped into a river.
Everyone immediately became disgusted, fearing that it would drool onto the mushroom slices.
"Hey hey hey, shut up, shut up..."
"Stop moving your head around and get down, your saliva is everywhere!"
Everyone, you say something to me.
The black and bold creature shrank its head, drooped its ears, groaned twice, stretched out its two front legs, and put its head on them, but it seemed that its open mouth could not be closed.
Zhou Guo found it funny.
Under the gaze of many eyes, the mushroom slices were finally cooked. Zhou Guo pinched a pinch of salt and sprinkled a few grains on each slice. Not only Zhou Su and Hei Dadan were drooling, but everyone present swallowed them silently. They hadn't eaten fresh grilled mushroom slices for a year and missed it terribly!
As usual, the old man ate the first piece.
After taking a bite, the old man couldn't help but sigh. It's true that fresh ones are still delicious, especially fried or roasted. Others, whether stewed or stir-fried with meat, have lost their flavor, not to mention dry ones.
Everyone watched him eat and couldn't wait to get some for themselves.
Zhou Guo first picked up a piece for Zhou Su who was standing next to him, and gave the second piece to Heidadan who was being watched by Baba. The third piece was his own. Fortunately, the pork was grilled on two racks, otherwise there wouldn't be enough for each person.
Zhou Su looked at the mushroom slices in the bowl, picked up one and smelled it, then took a small bite. His eyes suddenly lit up like lanterns, and he nodded repeatedly. After he swallowed the one in his mouth, he took a second small bite.
Hei Dadan looked at the mushroom slices on the ground, then looked up at Zhou Guo. Zhou Guo smiled at him and nodded. The dog was encouraged and lowered its head to eat the mushroom slices in one bite.
Just like Zhu Bajie eating watermelon, he swallowed it in one gulp, and I don’t know if he could taste it or not. After that, he licked the ground, then licked his lips, and looked at Zhou Guo with his innocent big eyes, wanting to eat more.
Zhou Guo hadn't finished his own slice yet, so he said, "Wait a minute, you're eating too fast. It's not good for dogs to eat too much of this. They'll have stomachaches if they eat it."
After saying that, he concentrated on eating his own food, which he grilled while eating. It was really delicious. He didn't know whether the two merchants who bought pine mushrooms from last year would come this year. If they did, he would charge them at least one hundred coins per catty. After all, the quantity was small this year, and things were expensive because they were rare.
The Zhou family does not have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. Farmers do whatever they feel comfortable with. In the past, they would talk and laugh while eating, chatting about gossip they heard in the village, and talking about funny things that happened that day. But this time, after taking the first bite, no one spoke and everyone just concentrated on eating.
The old man ate three slices in a row, and when he saw the pile of pine mushrooms in the basket beside him, he felt relieved and felt satisfied.
The fragrance filled the yard and drifted outside. Fortunately, it was dark and there was no one outside, otherwise there would not be enough to eat. Each person in the family could only eat four or five pieces.
They ate from dark until the moon rose, and they ate all the pine mushrooms they picked today.
After finishing the meal, I remembered that we haven’t even had dinner yet.
Of course it was not enough for Zhou Guo, so he ran into the kitchen and brought out another big bowl of food, then sat in the yard to eat.
Zhou Mai and the others also each took a bowl of rice.
As for the old man, Mrs. Li, and the younger ones like Zhou Suli, they had been eating for so long and had eaten so many mushroom slices that they were already full and didn't want anything else.
Even Zhou Xing stopped eating and said with a smile: "There are so many good things in my stomach, let me savor them first. After a big bowl of food, I have forgotten the taste of the mushroom slices I just ate."
Zhou Su felt sleepy after eating. With her belly bulging, she leaned against Zhou Guo and said in a daze, "Sister, if you go again tomorrow, remember to take me with you. I'm very capable and can help you find more."
Zhou Guo nodded while eating, "I know, I won't forget you, go to sleep."
The little guy shook his head. "I don't want to sleep. I'm thinking about the mushrooms I just ate. What kind of mushrooms are these? They are even more delicious and fragrant than the small flower mushrooms. I will pick up a lot of them tomorrow. I will keep them for myself and sell the extra ones..."
The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, and finally it died away.
Zhou Guo saw that his little head was tilted to one side, his eyes were closed, he looked at Li and whispered, "Mom, mom, he's asleep."
Li smiled and said, "You've had enough to eat today. You've talked so much. I'll carry him to wash his face and put him to bed."
A group of people sat in the yard and savored the taste, then took a shower and went to bed.
Zhou Guo stayed last because he ate a lot.
When everyone else was asleep, she was still in the kitchen setting up a bucket to take a shower. She had been running in the mountains all day and was sweating all over. She was covered in leaf residue and couldn't fall asleep without taking a shower.
Fortunately, she is still young, so she doesn’t need to grow her hair very long. It can be trimmed short, so she doesn’t have to spend too much effort every time washing her hair.
By the time she slowly finished washing and tidying up, the moon was already at its zenith. She yawned and went to sleep in the house.
A mosquito net has been hung on the bed, but now except for the midday when the sun is shining brightly, the heat has faded at night and in the morning, and you won’t feel stuffy when sleeping without opening the doors and windows.
After taking a shower, I felt more comfortable. I turned over in bed, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.
The next day, Zhou Su got up early in the morning, changed into the old clothes he usually wore when he went into the mountains, filled the kettle with water, and took some rice cakes and some food and put them in the basket.
Zhou Guo finished his practice and looked at his posture, and said with a smile: "Have you packed up your things by now?"
Zhou Su nodded, "Sister, I want to go with you."
Zhou Guo waved her hand and said, "Let's go, everyone. Mom, brother, sister and others will also follow us into the mountains today."
Now that the pine mushrooms in the mountains have come out, let's go into the mountains to look for them. We have to do the same things at home anyway, so we might as well go into the mountains to look for mushrooms. If we find a lot, we can sell them for more money, which is another considerable income. Last year, we only sold them once and made more than ten taels of silver. This year, there are fewer mushrooms, so we can't expect so many, but eight or nine taels would be good too.
