"Hey, what's wrong? Are you tired?" Seeing that Yuan Tianqing was no longer picking mushrooms and was standing up to light a cigarette, Zhuo Rong couldn't help but ask him curiously.
There were indeed many mushrooms in this primitive forest.
However, many of the mushrooms were red and white. They were the type that would lie flat after eating.
The main edible ones were straw mushrooms and chicken termite fungi. These two kinds were relatively easy to distinguish. As for those that were not easy to distinguish, it would be fine if they were not picked.
Ever since Zhuo Rong and Yuan Tianqing entered the forest, they had picked a lot of these things.
Zhuo Rong felt that the two of them had already harvested about five to six catties.
"As long as this thing is enough to eat, it won't sell for money even if it's dried. There's no need!”
Hearing Zhuo Rong's words, Yuan Tianqing naturally wouldn't say that he was shocked. Thus, he thought of an explanation and spoke.
Mushrooms were like this. Fresh mushrooms were like this. They could be preserved for a very short time, so they were basically eaten and picked on the spot. The fresh ones were sold out, and they couldn't be sold far. They didn't have the technology to preserve them. This thing wasn't produced exclusively here, and the production wasn't large enough to form a scale.
Therefore, no one sold fresh mushrooms.
If he wanted to sell it, he would have to dry it in the sun. However, if he dried it in the sun, eight catties would be worth one catty. It was really not worth it to sell one catty for more than 100 yuan.
"If you don't want it, I want it. Help me pick it.”
However, just because this thing was not worth it in the real world did not mean that it would not be worth it in the future.
Zhuo Rong had also scanned the straw mushrooms and chicken balsam when he was picking them.
In the future, this wild mushroom would not be cheap.
Wild straw mushrooms were sold for 3000 yuan per catty, and chicken balsam was sold for 8,000 yuan per catty. They were fresh, not dried. Zhuo Rong could indeed do something about it.
"What do you want this for?"
Hearing that Zhuo Rong wanted to buy it, Yuan Tianqing was also a little puzzled.
"You don't understand. Rich people nowadays like to play with wild and original things. I booked this piece of land because I want to grow some natural fruits, vegetables, grains, and raise some natural cattle, sheep, pigs, and so on. There's a big market for them now. Wild fish and mushrooms are the same. Even if these mushrooms can't be sold at a high price, they're still a gift!”
Hearing Yuan Tianqing's words, Zhuo Rong also smiled and said.
Hearing Zhuo Rong's words, Yuan Tianqing also understood. He was a wild fish fisherman and had a lot of say. Now, black snappers and yellow snappers were already farmed.
However, a catty of farmed fish was only worth about 20 yuan. Wild fish, if they were caught by fishing boats outside, were only worth 50 to 60 yuan per catty.
Fishermen nearby used small boats to set nets on the sea to catch it. One catty could be sold for nearly 100 yuan.
The most expensive ones were those who were caught in the wild. They were also dead, but yellow snapper could be sold for 150 to 180 yuan. Different seasons and prices varied. Black snapper could also be sold for 120 to 150 yuan, and the cheapest would not be less than 100 yuan.
The fish they sold were basically sold to some rich small bosses or seafood restaurants.
"Rich people really don't understand!”
Hearing Zhuo Rong's words, Yuan Tianqing shook his head. Actually, one couldn't tell whether one was rich or not by looking at one's clothes, dressing, and speech. However, it was most obvious when one looked at the food.
When there was no money, there was food. It was already good enough that he did not starve to death.
When one was rich, one would naturally not only eat delicious food, but also eat healthy food.
Rich people cherished their lives. This had never changed since ancient times.
After all, there were only a few people who were so stingy that even if they had money, it would not be good for them.
"Forget about the money. I'm just helping my brother.”
Yuan Tianqing didn't understand what this rich man was up to. He also put out his cigarette and continued to help Zhuo Rong pick up the mushrooms.
In an instant, the two of them picked more and more mushrooms. By the time they reacted, they had already walked almost three kilometers in.
"It's a little deep. We have to go back!”
After Yuan Tianqing finished picking another nest of mushrooms, he raised his head and saw a red cloth tied to a tree in the distance. This red cloth was tied by the villagers.
It was to tell the people who entered the mountain how far they were from the outside of the mountain.
One kilometer was white cloth, two kilometers was yellow cloth, and three kilometers was red cloth. Red cloth meant danger.
"Alright, then let's go in another direction!”
Hearing Yuan Tianqing's words, Zhuo Rong also raised his head. Although he had Little Zhuo with him and didn't have to worry about getting lost, he didn't know much about these things after all. He just had to listen to Yuan Tianqing.
Seeing that Zhuo Rong had said so, Yuan Tianqing took out his phone. After determining the direction, he prepared to bring Zhuo Rongcai out.
However, just as the two of them were about to go out to harvest, they suddenly heard a groan from the forest in the distance...
"Oh no, let's go. There's a wild boar!"
Yuan Tianqing's face instantly turned pale when he heard this groan. He pulled Zhuo Rong, who still wanted to pick mushrooms, and whispered to him. Then, he prepared to run out.
When Zhuo Rong heard that there were wild boars, he was also shocked. As the old saying went, one pig, two bears, and three tigers.
Of course, it wasn't that the wild boar could really beat the tiger. It was just that when the wild boar was angry, even the tiger couldn't hold it down.
As he walked out, Zhuo Rong looked at the grass that Yuan Tianqing had seen. Coincidentally, when Zhuo Rong saw the grass, the wild boar also walked out of the grass. Their eyes met, and Zhuo Rong also saw the wild boar's appearance.
This wild boar was definitely an adult wild boar. It was about one meter tall, and its body looked very broad and strong. Its body was covered with long black hair, and there was even soil and rain hanging on it. It looked like a black armor.
When Zhuo Rong saw it, it also saw Zhuo Rong. Its eyes instantly turned red and it roared as it rushed over.
Hearing the voice behind him, Yuan Tianqing also turned around to take a look. He was so scared that his three souls and seven spirits were about to fly away.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Zhuo Rong wasn't an ordinary person now. He immediately reacted and pushed Yuan Tianqing away. He jumped away at the first moment so that the wild boar's first charge didn't hit anyone.
However, after missing its target, this fellow spun around on the spot and howled as it charged towards Yuan Tianqing again. Yuan Tianqing was scared silly by the wild boar's actions, but Zhuo Rong wasn't scared silly. Seeing that the wild boar was about to charge towards Yuan Tianqing, he immediately rushed over and kicked the wild boar's head!
