No one thought as much as Li Yao thought. Even Zhu Cuihua wanted to pick some mushrooms.

If she can catch some pheasants and rabbits, which are better, she can take them back and ask her eldest brother to go to Pushi County to exchange for silver.

Grandpa has been in poor health recently, and several of her sisters who provide medical treatment and medicine are away. She wants to go to Xiao'ao Village to ask the barefoot doctor to come and see her.

Grandpa didn't want his eldest brother to worry, so he kept refraining from telling him for fear of delaying his marriage.

There were a lot of shepherd's purses nearby, and the girls worked together to quickly dig up a pile.

Sanya took the opportunity to put aside what she had dug and what Zhu Cuihua had dug.

"Sanya, don't do this," Zhu Cuihua said softly, "I can dig it later when I go down the mountain."

"It's okay, everyone won't mind." Sanya also replied softly.

Zhu Cuihua blushed in embarrassment.

Because she found Li Yao looking at them.

In fact, Li Yao didn't eavesdrop on their conversation on purpose. It's just that she has sharp ears and can hear even the smallest sounds. If anyone around her talks, it will fall into her ears.

So on the way up from the mountain, she knew all about the interaction between Sanya and Zhu Cuihua.

At this time, Li Yao had no choice but to laugh to ease Zhu Cuihua's embarrassment.

Maybe she smiled sincerely and without any malice.

Zhu Cuihua also smiled back.

"Let's go to the woods!"

Si Ya excitedly held up a sickle to clear the way ahead.

These ladies and concubines have traveled thousands of miles in the mountains before, so naturally they don't take them seriously in the forests in the back mountains.

Except for Song Sui, who has never set foot in it, everyone is an expert in the forest.

In order to keep up with everyone, Song Sui had to speed up, and soon a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.

Li Yao handed over a handkerchief, "It doesn't matter if you go slower."

Song Sui took it and wiped it quickly, "It's okay, I think it's fun."

After saying that, he hurriedly chased the person in front of him. The skirt tied underneath him was stained with mud and dust, and there were still several holes in it.

Si Ya found a good place to make a trap.

I worked with a few girls to dig together.

Everyone was very experienced, and the traps didn’t need to be very deep, so we dug several nearby in a short while.

Zhu Cuihua brought a hoe, which was very convenient, and she worked hard to make these traps.

Li Yao threw some corn kernels and some rice into the trap, which was the last step.

"Can we catch small animals in this way?" Song Sui stared at the trap curiously.

"It's definitely possible." Siya was full of confidence.

Li Yao also nodded slightly.

"But if we stay here, we will definitely not be able to catch him."

Song Sui looked like she suddenly understood, "Then let's go further."

"Go over there. There are a lot of pine trees there, and there must be a lot of mushrooms there."

Zhu Cuihua also said with experience.

The little sisters immediately moved their positions, and Song Sui looked over here from time to time.

"Can you find a place later?"

"Si Ya marked it." Li Yao pointed.

Song Sui felt that there was something wrong with her eyes. She really didn't notice the mark.

But if Yaoer said there is, then there must be.

So I calmly withdrew my gaze and followed the mushroom picking team.

The forest was airtight, the humidity was particularly heavy, and the leaves fell all over the ground.

The rain that fell two days ago really gave birth to a lot of fungi.

Zhu Cuihua was the first to discover a piece of rice-ripened fungus, which is the most abundant type of fungus this season. It has a rich taste and crispy and tender meat.

Everyone knows that common fungi like this are not poisonous, so feel free to pick them.

Li Yao also reached out to help, throwing a few trees into the space with mud from time to time.

After a while, everyone had picked all the grain-ripening fungi in this area, leaving only some real-sized ones.

"Come this way!"

Si Ya went a little further away and waved quickly.

She found some gallinophilia and chanterelles.

"It's amazing!" Song Sui carefully picked a few trees, "Yao'er, look, this one is so big!"

Carefully put it in the basket, "There was a banquet before, and that lady specially invited me to eat mushroom soup, saying that I spent a lot of money to get so many kilograms.

No wonder the price is high. This thing is really hard to come by, picking it is hard, and it’s not very safe. "

Song Sui glanced around and said, "It probably doesn't exist in every season!"

Li Yao smiled, Song Sui was the daughter of a wealthy family after all, and she could immediately tell how rare things were.

And it gave her a nice heads-up.

This gave her greater confidence in her future business.

"I'll pick more." Song Sui squatted down, not squeamish at all, which was far from his appearance.

Several girls enjoyed it and picked it for at least more than an hour.

In the meantime, Li Yao wanted to remind them, but he thought that those traps might not catch the prey so quickly, so he gave up.

It wasn't until Si Ya straightened her back and looked at the sky covered by the big trees that she started shouting.

"Stop picking, we should go out!"

The traps must have held something for so long, not to mention that the baskets and backpacks they brought in were also full of mushrooms and couldn't be contained.

"I'll carry a basket," Song Sui took the initiative to reach out to Siya.

Jian Ya glanced at Li Yao and saw that he had no objection, so he chose the smallest basket for Song Sui to carry.

"I think we should send these mushrooms out first, because I feel that those traps must be very fruitful."

Si Ya tried her best to run at the front.

She actually had a plan in mind today, and it was related to her business.

But she doesn't want to say it yet.

Putting the basket aside, she opened a trap and saw two pheasants trapped inside.

As soon as I see someone, I peck them hard, but unfortunately the ground is some distance away and I can't peck them at all.

Si Ya giggled, "Come and see, we caught two stupid chickens."

Everyone gathered around.

"Third sister, you and Cuihua send these mushrooms out first, and Yao'er and I will take out the traps."

Si Ya gave orders like a little grown-up.

Sanya was used to hearing her words at home, so she didn't object.

She, Zhu Cuihua and two other girls went out first, carrying baskets on their backs.

Si Ya, Li Yao and Song Sui were left to retrieve the newly captured prey from the trap.

Siya quickly chopped down a few vines with a sickle and dragged them over.

Then she started to reach out to catch the chickens in the trap. She lay half on the ground and caught one with lightning speed.

Li Yao didn't waste any time, took it and wrapped it with vines.

Just like that, the two chickens were tightly tied.

Song Sui's eyes widened, her movements were agile, she had noticed it since entering the mountain.

But Yao'er's way of tying a chicken, as if she had done it eight hundred times, surprised her.

She thought that as Yao'er was the Prince Consort's apprentice and had been pampered by Aunt Su, she would naturally not be able to do such menial work.

She thought the barbecue last time was the limit, but she didn't expect it to be even more surprising now.

"Sister Sui?" Li Yao called her, "What are you thinking about?"

"No!" Song Sui shook his head.

"Go to the trap over there!" Li Yao curled his lips and smiled.

Sister Sui must have been frightened by her expression. She must have never thought she was so rude!

Song Sui followed closely.

"There's a big guy!" Si Ya roared, his voice clearly filled with excitement.
