Chapter 524 Pine Nuts! There are actually pine nuts!

Early the next morning, at dawn, Qiao Ran set out eating the two big meatloaf that her mother had baked specially for her last night.

It took less than a quarter of an hour to reach the bamboo forest on the other side of the mountain using Qinggong. Most of the birds in the mountain were still in their nests and hadn't come out yet!

The bamboo forest in the early morning was filled with a faint mist, and the smell of rotten leaves and earth mixed with the fragrance of bamboo penetrated the nostrils. It was neither unpleasant nor not unpleasant.

The breeze blows, the bamboo branches sway gently, and the bamboo leaves make a rustling sound.

The birds were chirping, either in their nests or on bamboo branches, playing a mountain symphony.

On the ground of the bamboo forest, bamboo fungus eggs that looked like bird eggs emerged from under the dead branches and leaves.

Then the eggshell cracked open and dark green hats emerged.

There is a white stipe under the cap that slowly grows upward, gradually getting taller and taller.

Then a mesh skirt emerged from under the hat, slowly opening like an umbrella.

In this way, the ground is covered with bamboo shoots that look like small white umbrellas. From a distance, they look like dancing elves wearing hats and white skirts.

Qiao Ran bent down happily and picked up the bamboo fungus on the ground with skillful movements.

She held the white stipe with one hand, lightly scratched the bottom of the stipe with a knife with the other hand, and then took off the cap at the top, and a white bamboo fungus was harvested.

She took out another bamboo basket from the space, and the processed bamboo fungus was neatly stacked layer by layer in the bamboo basket. Soon the bamboo basket was full.

Then there are baskets, dustpans, and even big bamboo baskets.

From the time the sun had not yet risen until three o'clock in the morning, Qiao Ran saw that the bamboo fungus on the ground began to shrink, and there were already several baskets and bamboo baskets full of bamboo fungus in her own space, so Qiao Ran decided not to pick bamboo fungus.

She wanted to dig up a few bamboo shoots and take them back, but she was worried about destroying the mycelium of the bamboo fungus.

After thinking about it, Qiao Ran carefully dug the soil around the bamboo shoots, dug up the mycelium of the bamboo shoots and put them into the space.

She plans to take these mycelium back, bury them in the bamboo forest in Devil's Valley, pour some spiritual spring water, and the bamboo fungus will soon grow.

That way, the folks in the village don't have to risk climbing to the mountain to pick bamboo fungus.

When the time comes, everyone can pick and eat the bamboo fungus in the bamboo forest of Devil Valley, but if you want to sell it, you won’t be able to make that much money.

Thinking of the bamboo forest, Qiao Ran suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since she had seen the situation outside her space courtyard, and she didn't know if it had been upgraded or expanded after so long.

Thinking of this, she simply took the dug hyphae into the space to see if the space had expanded, and then went to plant some bamboo fungus in the bamboo forest outside the courtyard.

There is a spiritual spring in the space, and the bamboo fungus will definitely grow better.

Qiao Ran took a small hoe, took a bunch of mycelium that she had just dug out, opened the courtyard door and walked out.

"Wow, upgraded again!"

Qiao Ran couldn't help but cheer.

I saw more mountains appearing in the distance. Most of the mountain my family bought was revealed from the thick fog.

In other words, there is a lot more land available in her space.

In the distance, there is also a lush bamboo forest in the newly expanded space.

With a thought, Qiao Ran walked directly from the entrance of the small courtyard to the bamboo forest several hundred meters away.

Ho! Does space upgrade have such strange functions? Isn't this the same as teleportation in novels and TV series?

I wonder if I can plant things with my thoughts?

She walked into the bamboo forest and looked at the bamboo forest on her mountain. Sure enough, there was no bamboo fungus growing in it. She couldn't help but realize that the handful of hyphae she was carrying was missing.

Looking around carefully, I saw signs of turning over the soil in several places.

I walked forward and picked up the fallen leaves and soil a few times, and saw the bamboo fungus mycelium that was just in my dustpan.

Hey, this space is really useful!

In this case, in the future, when you plant and harvest in the space, you don't have to work hard by yourself. You only need to think about it and you can automatically plant and harvest.

Qiao Ran was overjoyed by this discovery.

She has to collect all the things she likes to eat, everything she can grow and raise, and plant and breed them all in the space.

From then on, I can eat whatever I want. It’s like a god living a good life!

Beautiful!

Qiao Ran was so happy that she almost jumped up and cheered, but she was the only one in this space, and no one could share this happiness with her.

While looking forward to many bamboo fungus growing in this bamboo forest as soon as possible, Qiao Ran walked out of the bamboo forest.

On the edge of the bamboo forest, there is also a pine forest.

Qiao Ran suddenly stepped on a pine cone under her feet. She picked it up and saw that the pine cone was long and large and a little heavy in her hand.

Could it be that there are edible pine nuts in here?

But she remembered that the pine cones in the past were somewhat different from this one. They used to be fluffy pine cones, which were very light. The pine nuts inside were very small and light. They were not the edible pine nuts that can be bought in the world. .

Out of curiosity, Qiao Ran broke the pine cone into two halves with her bare hands.

Pine nuts! There are actually pine nuts!

Not the small, flat pine nuts that I saw before, but huge pine nuts that were bigger than sunflower seeds and bigger than the pine nuts Qiao Ran had eaten in her previous life!

Could it be that because of the space upgrade, knowing that she likes to eat pine nuts, they replaced all the pine trees with varieties that can produce large pine nuts?

Qiao Ran raised her head and looked at the large pine cones hanging on the tall pine tree above her head. With a thought, the pine cones on the pine tree above her head were all empty.

And the dustpan that had just been emptied out in his hand was filled with pine cones that were bigger than his fist.

Qiao Ran was so happy that she didn't even have time to take a closer look at what treasures there were in the newly expanded space, so she returned to the small courtyard carrying a handful of pine cones.

She took a bone-chopping machete from the kitchen, put the pine cone on the chopping board and chopped it lightly with the knife, breaking it into two halves.

Then they took half of the pine cones and knocked them against each other, and the pine nuts in the pine cones fell out.

After a while, Qiao Ran collected a plate of pine nuts.

She weighed it on a kitchen scale and found it weighed about two pounds.

Although fresh pine nuts are also delicious, Qiao Ran prefers fried ones, so she decided to fry the pine nuts herself.

Take 20 grams of white sugar and add 60 grams of water and stir it into sugar water. Go to the yard and get about a pound of sand, put it into an iron pot and stir-fry until it is hot. Then pour the sugar water in the cup and stir together evenly.

When the sand dipped in sugar water starts to smoke, immediately pour in the pine nuts and fry them together.

In order to heat evenly, Qiao Ran adjusted the heat to medium and stirred constantly with a spatula.

After a few minutes, she felt that the time was almost up, so she took out two open pine nuts, blew them open, and peeled them open. She saw that the pine nuts inside were already slightly yellow, which meant they were cooked.

So turn off the heat, use a wire mesh sieve to sift out the sand, and a plate of fried pine nuts is freshly baked!
