Chapter 521 Bamboo fungus

Qiao Ran took out a small knife, pinched the stem of the bamboo fungus with one hand, held the knife with the other hand and gently scratched the bottom of the bamboo fungus, and a perfect little white umbrella was in her hand.

Gently remove the gray-black fungus cap on top, cut off the muddy fungus holder at the bottom, leaving only a small white umbrella, and gently put it into the bamboo basket.

Due to time constraints, her hands kept moving and quickly picked the small white umbrellas that sprouted from the ground.

She also picked some that were not fully unfolded, as they had more nutritional value.

While Qiao Ran was picking these bamboo fungus, she couldn't help but reminisce about the bamboo fungus chicken soup she had drunk before, and her mouth was secreting saliva uncontrollably.

She couldn't help but think that the Qiao family had never eaten these delicious bamboo fungus.

If my mother used these bamboo fungus to make chicken soup, wouldn't she make everyone in the family hungry?

Hey!

"Qiuqiu! Don't touch my bamboo fungus!"

Qiao Ran was thinking about the delicious bamboo fungus chicken soup she would be able to drink when she went back, while picking bamboo fungus quickly. From the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw the little white tiger smashing a small white umbrella with its claws, and then lay down again. He plucked a small white umbrella from the ground with his paws, put it to his nose, seemed to smell it, and then threw it away without interest.

Qiao Ran was heartbroken and quickly spoke out to stop the naughty little white tiger.

Qiuqiu was bored when he heard his master calling him. He jumped up and ran over happily, trampling several bamboo fungus flowers on the way.

Qiao Ran gritted her teeth in pain, grabbed the little chubby tiger running over, slapped it on the head, and scolded:

"Can you stop causing trouble? Huh? If you don't obey me, I'll put you in a sheepfold and won't let you out!"

"Woo~"

The little fat tiger was slapped on the head and let out a low cry, as if begging for mercy.

"Sit here and don't move. Stop running around! I'll take you back later!"

Qiao Ran patted the little fat tiger on the head again and continued to harvest bamboo fungus.

It wasn't until two-quarters of an hour later that the bamboo basket was full, that Qiao Ran stood up, looked at the many unpicked bamboo fungus, and sighed regretfully.

It's not that she has nothing to pack, nor that she can't dig out anything, but that she has been away from her family for too long, and she is afraid that her mother and others will worry about her.

Well, this bamboo basket full of bamboo fungus is also an unexpected surprise.

Take it back, dry it and preserve it, or store it in a small space courtyard. It will be enough for many meals.

However, she will definitely not be satisfied with this. Now she will go back to reassure her family, and then come over tomorrow to pick more and give them to her grandpa and others to eat. She can also send some to Juxian Building to sell.

I don’t believe restaurants would want such delicious bamboo fungus.

After making up her mind, Qiao Ran put the basket full of bamboo fungus and the knife into the space, then looked at the little white umbrellas that were about to wither and wither, and called out to the little fat man who was sitting there obediently waiting for her. Tiger, one person and one tiger walked back along the way.

After crossing the mountain and almost reaching the mountainside, Qiao Ran met her second uncle and third uncle and several men from the village.

Everyone held hoes and machetes in their hands and walked up the mountain along the tracks where she and the little white tiger passed.

Since she was chasing the little white tiger this time and did not deliberately erase the traces, the villagers were able to follow her, but when they found the mountainside, they didn't know where to go.

A group of people were discussing which direction to go when they saw a beast as big as a big dog suddenly jumped out, startling everyone and almost raising their weapons to hit it.

Looking closely, it was the familiar little white tiger.

Looking up again, he saw Qiao Ran following the little white tiger.

"Ran Ran, you are finally back!"

Seeing that his eldest niece was back safely, Qiao Erhe shouted excitedly.

"Second uncle, third uncle, Uncle Qian, Uncle Li... what are you..."

"Ran Ran, we were waiting for you at the foot of the mountain. We have been waiting for a long time without seeing you come back. Seeing that it is almost noon, the family is very worried about you, so your second uncle and I decided to go up the mountain to find you. Your uncle Qian and the others listened. He said that since you have not come back since you went up the mountain, I will come to find you together, lest you be in any danger."

Qiao Sanhu explained to his eldest niece.

Qiao Ran was touched in her heart after hearing this.

"Thank you everyone! It's my fault that I came back so late and made you worry."

Qiao Ran shook the sack of spring bamboo shoots he just took out from the space and said to everyone:

"I chased the ball over the mountain, and found a lot of spring bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest on the other side of the mountain. I was greedy, so I dug some more back. It was my lack of care that caused everyone to waste time to come to me. .”

"Hey, what's the point? Just make sure you come back safely, don't take it to heart, huh?"

Dad Shitou waved his hand nonchalantly, telling Qiao Ran not to apologize.

"Ran Ran, let's go down the mountain quickly. Your grandma, your mother, and your third aunt are all very worried about you."

Qiao Sanhu said as he took the heavy bag from Qiao Ran's hand.

Qiao Ran threw the sack over her shoulder and carried the sack of bamboo shoots as effortlessly as carrying a bag of cotton.

Qiao Sanhu had no choice but to take back his hand and everyone walked back together.

In the mountainous area assigned to the Qiao family at the foot of the mountain, Mrs. Qiao and Zheng Huiniang were all relieved when they saw the group coming down the mountain.

"I'm sorry, grandma, mother, and third aunt. I didn't come back in time and made you worry."

Qiao Ran said apologetically.

Mrs. Qiao said: "As long as you're fine. Did Qiuqiu run too far? It's not your fault."

She knew that her eldest granddaughter was a measured person and would not deliberately worry everyone if nothing happened.

Sure enough, the eldest granddaughter put down the sack on her shoulder and said:

"I found a large bamboo forest on the other side of the mountain and couldn't help but dig up these bamboo shoots."

As she spoke, she opened the bag, took out the bamboo shoots inside, and stuffed two large bamboo shoots into the hands of the men who went up the mountain to look for her:

"Uncles, thank you for going to look for me. I'm really sorry for wasting your time. You can take these bamboo shoots back. At least they can be used as two meals."

"You can't do it! We didn't do anything, and we didn't help you. We don't deserve to be treated like this."

Several people quickly waved their hands and refused, and headed back to their own mountains.

How could Qiao Ran allow them to refuse? I just stuffed two bamboo shoots into each of their hands, and they left happily.

Qiao Ran came and went, and it was already noon, so everyone went home carrying their tools.

Qiao Ran took the remaining bamboo shoots home, and Lin Guizhen and Madam Qin took one out, and they went to cook.

One of Qiao Erhe and Qiao Sanhu went to carry water, and the other cut grass to feed the horses and cattle.

A few little guys took the little tiger and rabbit to play with their friends in the open space outside.

In the tent, Qiao Ran pulled her grandma and mother over. They knew that she had something to say to them. Among the whole family, they were the only ones who knew that she had a "treasure bag".
