The poria cocos dug up were taken back to the utility room and put away because they didn't know what to do with it, and they didn't dare to go through the water, so they just peeled off the mud and put it in the dustpan to dry.
Zhou Zhoulang wanted to go to the mountains to try his luck the next day. He tried his best to convince his father, "Look at the things that Manbao found before, which one is worthless? Those privet trees in the mountains, the elder brother and the second brother last year Dried and sold for nearly a tael of silver, and the yams planted in the field, not to mention the ginger that Manbao wants to plant, our family can’t earn so much money from the land planted in a year, this Fuling said It may not be more profitable than them.”
Man Bao nodded repeatedly. She came here based on the degree of scarcity. Since Poria cocos will be extinct so early in the future, it must be very valuable, right
"That can't leave the work in the field. In half a month, we will start harvesting the wheat. After harvesting the wheat, we will also harvest beans. Until August, or even September, we may not be able to spare time. , your elder brother can’t do heavy work, so why don’t you retch the fat first?”
Wu Wulang volunteered, "Father, my sixth brother and I will go. We are young and can do very little at home, but we can go to Poria."
Old Zhou started to think about it. The work of picking mud and pushing the earth was heavy. After all, the fifth and sixth children were young and rarely did such work. It was nothing for them to go up the mountain, but...
Old Zhou shook his head and said: "If this is the mountain in our village, you can run away as you please, but that area is allocated to Dali Village, and the two families are not easy to talk to. You are young, if you run into someone What should I do if I suffer a loss?"
The fourth or third child has to be with him.
Thinking about it this way, old Zhou rolled his eyes and said, "Well, tomorrow, the fourth child will take the fifth child first, and if you can find it, you two will come with the third child and the sixth child. Remember, when you meet Don’t be afraid of the people of Dali Village, Koufen Field is not Yongye Field, they can’t do anything to you when looking for things in the mountains, and it’s not grown by their family.”
The brothers agreed.
Man Bao was very sorry, "It's a pity that the mountains are too far away, otherwise I can go there after school."
Everyone laughed and thought to themselves: Fortunately, they are far enough away, otherwise they would have to bring an extra child.
Keke also felt a little regretful, "Although the researchers haven't seen the result of the entry yet, I have already collected its basic data. If the host also goes, I can provide you with a scan. Now I have accumulated a lot of energy and can already It provides a stable scan of 100 meters around the body."
This kind of scanning does not cost many points, and because it is in line with the job of its collection system, so this part of the cost can be reimbursed by the encyclopedia, and does not need to be provided by the host.
But one person, one system is just a secret pity. In their view, Manbao's main task now is to study.
Sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood.
It's a pity that Keke's job is to collect creatures. It has always wanted to find an encyclopedia introducing animals and plants for the host. Unfortunately, there seems to be no such book in this era.
Zhou Zhoulang and the others didn't know what they had lost, so they carried a basket on their backs and went out with a hoe on the second day of joy.
Man Bao was still yawning. Last night she was a little late reading at Ke Ke's place, and her spirits were a little bad. She lazily waved her paws to say goodbye to the fourth and fifth brothers, wishing them that they could find Fu Ling, thinking of something become.
Although it may not be effective, but a good word is a good sign to go out, isn't it
Then when Manbao came back from school in the afternoon, Zhou Zhoulang and Friday Lang came back with dispirited faces. Manbao ran up and asked, "Fourth brother, did you find it?"
Zhou Zhoulang pointed to the back basket, Man Bao rushed up to look, Xiaoqian smiled and said: "I didn't find Fu Ling, but I found a basket of straw mushrooms."
"This is not bad. Mother told me to soak beans. I will make tofu tomorrow morning. Let your second brother take it to the county town to sell." Xiaoqian said: "Father and mother are discussing to let your second brother bring it. Some poria cocos, go to the pharmacy and ask the price, if you can sell it, I will look for it later."
Today, Zhou Lang and the others couldn't find it after searching for a whole day. Obviously, this thing is not easy to find, so after discussing with Mrs. Qian, the old Zhou Tou decided to ask the price first to see if it was worth sending two labors up the mountain every day to find this thing. This thing is worthless.
It's better to come back to compost and take care of the crops honestly.
Man Bao nodded, "Okay, but I have to tell my second brother, if the money given is too little, then don't sell it, and I will take it back to Shanbao's house to make Poria cream."
Man Bao thought about it for a while, and thought it was a good idea, and happily said to Xiaoqian: "Sister-in-law, Poria cream is delicious, and Poria cake is also delicious, if only you know how to make it."
Xiaoqian happily said: "Delicious snacks are expensive, our family can't afford them, but we can send some to the Bai family."
Hearing this from inside, Mrs. Qian leaned on the wall to come out, and said with a smile, "Yes, I'd forget if you didn't tell me, Man Bao, you can take two yuan to Bai's house tomorrow, it's so hard to find, and their house doesn't have it." Do you eat it often?"
Man Bao nodded, she didn't eat it often, she only had it twice.
So the next day, Zhou Zhoulang went to the county town with his things, and Man Bao packed two pieces in a bamboo basket to go to the school. Bai Shanbao looked and looked curiously.
Man Bao pushed the bamboo basket in front of him and said, "It's for you."
Bai Shanbao looked at the roots in the basket and asked, "Why did you give me the roots?"
"This is Poria cocos."
Bai Shanbao is indeed a good friend of Man Bao, his eyes lit up, and he called out immediately: "Poria cream and Poria cake?"
Man Bao nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, take it back and let your cook make it. If it is not enough for my family, I will make it for my husband to relax."
She said: "My husband told me that this is Poria cocos."
Bai Shanbao had the impression that this food was not often eaten, so he asked, "Where did you get it from?"
If possible, their family can buy more and keep them, and they can cook them if they want to eat them later.
"It's hard to find it in the mountains. Yesterday, my fourth brother and fifth brother went up the mountain to search for a whole day, but they couldn't find it. I ran into it by chance the day before yesterday."
"It's so rare, can we grow it ourselves?"
Man Bao thought for a while, and thought his idea was good, "I think it looks a bit like a yam, but it is also a fungus, so how do we grow this thing?"
Bai Shanbao looked left and right, but he couldn't see where it looked like a yam, maybe it was because they were all white inside.
Keke also didn't see how they resembled each other, so he was also very silent.
Bai Shanbao scratched his head and said, "When the time comes, try every method?"
His eyes fell on the Poria cocos in the basket, and he said, "You can try to see if you can let it germinate, and then bury it in the soil, or you can dig its soil and plant it. Didn't you say it is a fungus?"
