Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

Zhao Qin was speechless and extremely doubted whether this guy would lose him.

But trouble, there isn't even a cell phone signal here.

"Aqin, where are they taking us two?" Awang discovered that the marmot was not taking them down the mountain.

Instead, it follows the mountain to the east and gets higher and higher.

"Brother, I don't understand what they are going to do. Just follow them and have a look." Zhao Qin actually had a guess, but he wouldn't say it until it was confirmed.

Well, even if it was confirmed, he could only say it was a coincidence.

"Ah Qin, forget it, we are running further and further away." Awang stopped deliberately, but he was indeed running further and further away. The sweat that had dried up earlier was now all over his body again.

"Look again, these little guys won't ask us to follow them without any reason. Didn't you say they are Mosca's elves? If someone is really injured, how can we bear to not save it?"

A Wang was choked up with one sentence, "Okay, just follow it."

The following lasted for nearly two hours. Just when Zhao Qin wanted to give up, the marmots that had been gathered together suddenly dispersed and started digging on the ground before running very far.

Every time he scratched, he glanced at Zhao Qin. The largest one came to bite Zhao Qin's trouser leg after scratching twice.

I'll go, no way, Zhao Qin secretly called out to him, "Good guy."

I followed the big one to the place it had just dug, and before I could squat down, I saw a piece of cordyceps dug out from the side.

"Damn, this is too spiritual." Zhao Qin shouted. The marmot not only found the cordyceps, but also helped dig them out.

What's even more amazing is that this little guy can still control himself from cutting up the cordyceps.

Seeing him pick up this one, the marmot chirped twice, turned around and started digging next to it, and found another cordyceps in a few clicks.

"Awang, follow the marmots, they will dig out the cordyceps."

Awang was drinking water. When he heard what he said, he choked on a sip of water and coughed for a while before saying, "You're kidding me."

The next moment he noticed, Zhao Qin picked up a piece of grass from where the marmot had scratched it. It looked like Cordyceps from a few meters away.

He came to the side suspiciously, his eyes locked on the place where one of the marmots had just plowed, and the next moment he exclaimed, "Fuck, it's true."

He was stunned for a full minute, as if this magical scene was disappearing, and then laughed loudly and said: "Aqin, I'm right, they are Mosca's elves."

"Yes, yes, everything you said is right."

Zhao Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Awang had found the reason himself, so he didn't have to go to great lengths to explain it himself.

It was much faster this time, and they didn’t even have to dig. The two of them could just follow the marmots to pick up. Their mental state at this moment was very different from before.

But even though the two of them kept bending down, they found that they couldn't keep up.

I don't know if it's because marmots have a natural sense of smell, or because this is virgin land, or maybe Zhao Qin's system is working. Anyway, the cordyceps here are very dense.

The small box that Awang brought is no longer useful. Firstly, it is too small to fit in. Secondly, there is no time to put them one by one inside.

"Awang, what should we do about this?"

Cordyceps is very easy to break, not only when picking it, but also when it is brushed with mud, and during transportation, so some cordyceps are strung together with toothpicks.

As long as there are grass heads and insect bodies, the problem is not big, but the broken appearance will definitely be greatly reduced.

Awang thought for a while, took out the shovel from his back, chose a piece of fluffy grass, shoveled off a piece of grass and mud, and then spread the cordyceps on top, "Aqin, empty your bag."

There were not many things in Zhao Qin's bag. He had already taken out his clothes and put them on. The only thing left was two bottles of water, which he put in Awang's bag.

Awang held the turf and carefully put it into his bag, "Place it layer by layer, that's all we can do for the time being."

At around six o'clock, the marmots stopped digging in the soil, but gathered together again, and then came to Zhao Qin, chattering something.

"Awang, rice cakes." It was probably almost time and they should go back.

Awang took out the food and handed it over. Zhao Qin took it and distributed it to them. He also tore some beef jerky and fed it. After every marmot had eaten,

He thought for a while, then found a small convenience bag and put some rice cakes and beef jerky in it, "Don't move."

The biggest one just stood up and remained obedient. Zhao Qin carefully tied the convenience bag around its neck, "This is for the one who just gave birth to a baby.

Your teeth are very powerful. I tied the knot. Just let your companions bite it off with their teeth when you go back. Thank you for today. "

After saying that, he patted it on the head. The marmots chirped a few times, turned around and ran down the mountain.

I heard that this thing is very fat, and it sizzles with oil when grilled. Well, it is not listed as a protected animal yet, so I don’t know what the taste of the fat balls is.

Of course, Zhao Qin just thought about it. After all, a few of them helped a lot today. Even if they didn't help, Awang probably wouldn't let him hurt him.

"Aqin, there are many more, let's do it some more." Awang squatted down and spotted three of them as far as he could see, shouting excitedly.

"Awang, it's getting late. Let's go down the mountain to where the motorcycles are. The sun should have completely set. Let's stop here today, go down and discuss it, and come back tomorrow."

Awang looked at his feet, a little reluctant to part with it, but it was all money!

However, I was startled for a moment, and I almost wanted to slap myself in the face. What was I thinking? I helped Aqin dig it, whether it is today or tomorrow,

No matter how much he dug, it should all belong to Aqin. He was just accompanying him as a guide.

"Okay, let's rest in the wooden house downstairs for the night and come back early tomorrow morning."

The two of them went down the mountain. Zhao Qin turned on the system as he walked. Sure enough, today's luck value had almost been cleared, but the merit value had increased by another 2000 points.

The system determined that Cordyceps Sinensis was already a top-notch delicacy.

He took a look at the system's valuation by the way, and it was 120 yuan per gram for fresh products.

I went and it was almost as expensive as gold. Zhao Qin knew this thing was expensive, but he didn’t expect it to be so expensive!

"Awang, how is the market for Cordyceps now?"

"For wild ones, depending on the size, if the dried ones can reach 2 grams per gram, it is estimated to be more than 4, and if 400 strands per gram, the price is around . The ones we picked today are all big. If we sell them, the price will definitely be good."

At the last half of the sentence, Awang couldn't help but get excited again.

"How much fresh food can produce one pound of dry food?"

"Generally, it's about three kilograms. The larger ones have lower water content. Two kilograms, sixty-seven liang, or two kilograms can produce one kilogram for sure."

Awang thought for a moment and finally said what he was thinking, "Aqin, if you collect more, you can sell part of it and keep part for two years."

"why?"

Awang was stunned when he was asked, and then he realized that Zhao Qin probably didn't understand at all, "This thing has a shelf life. If it is not kept well, it will break down in less than two years. If it is kept well, it will only last three years.

If you want it in the future, I can just buy some and send it to you, or you can come once a year and we can dig up the mountain. "

Zhao Qin was a little confused. This thing actually has a shelf life?

He really didn't know, and then he remembered something and asked, "Awang, the place we just went to is not the northeast, right?"

Awang was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said, "It should be a little further north."

Zhao Qin was speechless. He knew that Awang must have got the direction wrong. The system pointed to the northeast. No wonder he couldn't find it before.

This is an enlarged picture of what Cordyceps looks like in the soil. It’s even harder to find in reality.
