The dug Poria cocos was put away in the utility room because they didn't know what to do with it and didn't dare to cross the water. They just peeled off the mud and put it in a dustpan to dry.

Zhou Lang wanted to go to the mountains to try his luck the next day. He tried his best to persuade his father, "Look at the things Man Bao found before, which one is worthless? Those ligustrum trees in the mountains, the eldest brother and the second brother last year

It was dried and sold for nearly one tael of silver. There are also those yams growing in the ground, not to mention the ginger that Manbao wants to grow. Our family can't make so much money from farming in a year. This Poria cocos said

It may be more profitable than them."

Man Bao nodded repeatedly. She based it on the degree of scarcity. Since Poria cocos will become extinct so early in the future, it must be very valuable, right?

"Then we can't abandon the work in the fields. In half a month, we will start harvesting wheat. After harvesting wheat, we will have to harvest beans. It will not be until August or even September. I'm afraid we won't be able to find time.

, your eldest brother can’t do heavy work, so you can’t let the fat out first?”

Wu Lang volunteered, "Dad, my sixth brother and I are going. We are young and can't do much at home, but we can go look for Poria."

Lao Zhoutou began to think deeply. The work of carrying dirt and pushing earth was heavy. After all, Lao Wu and Lao Liu were young and rarely did such work. It was no big deal for them to go up the mountain, but...

Lao Zhoutou shook his head and said: "If this is the mountain of our village, you can run away as long as you like, but that area is allocated to Dali Village, and it's hard to talk to those two families. You are young, if you meet someone,

What should I do if I suffer a loss?”

The fourth or third child must be brought along.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhoutou rolled his eyes and said: "Well, tomorrow, the fourth brother will take the fifth brother there first. If we can find him, you two brothers will take turns with the third and sixth brothers. Remember, if we meet each other,

Don’t be afraid of people in Dali Village. The Koufentian is not Yongye. They can’t do anything to you when you look for things in the mountains. It’s not what they grew.”

The brothers agreed.

Man Bao felt very sorry, "It's a pity that the mountains are too far away, otherwise I could go there after school."

Everyone laughed and thought to themselves: Fortunately it was far enough away, otherwise they would have had to take care of one more child.

Keke also felt a little regretful, "Although the researcher hasn't seen the result of the entry yet, I have collected its basic data. If the host also goes, I can provide you with a scan. Now I have accumulated a lot of energy, and I can already

It provides a stable scan of 100 meters around the body.”

This kind of scanning does not cost many points, and because it is in line with the original work of its collection system, this part of the cost can be reimbursed with the encyclopedia and does not need to be provided by the host.

But one person, one system is just a secret regret. In their view, Manbao's most important task now is to study.

Sharpening the knife will not waste time chopping wood.

It's a pity that Keke's job is to collect living things. It has always wanted to find an encyclopedia for its host to introduce animals and plants. Unfortunately, there seems to be no such book in this era.

Zhou Lang and the others didn't know what they had lost, so they happily went out the next day carrying a basket and a hoe.

Manbao was still yawning. She was a little late reading at Keke's place last night, so she felt a little depressed. She lazily waved her paws to say goodbye to the fourth and fifth brothers, wishing them to find Poria cocos and thinking about something.

become.

Although it may not always work, good words are a good sign to go out, right?

Then when Manbao came back from school in the afternoon, Zhoulang and Wulang came back looking depressed. Manbao ran up and asked, "Fourth brother, have you found it?"

Zhou Lang pointed to the basket on his back, and Man Bao rushed up to take a look. Xiao Qian smiled and said: "I didn't find the Poria cocos, but I found a basket of straw mushrooms."

"This is not bad. Mom asked me to soak the beans and make tofu tomorrow morning, and asked your second brother to bring them to the county town to sell." Xiao Qian said: "My parents are discussing to let your second brother bring them."

For some Poria cocos, go to the drug store and ask about the price. If it can be sold, I’ll look for it then."

Today, Zhou Lang and the others couldn't find it after searching all day. It was obviously hard to find this thing, so after discussing with Mr. Qian, Lao Zhoutou decided to ask the price first to see if it was worth allocating two laborers to go up the mountain to look for this thing every day.

This thing is worthless.

It would be better to come back and make compost and tend the crops honestly.

r                    Man Bao nodded, “Okay, but I have to tell my second brother that if the money given is too little, then don’t sell it. I will take it back to Shanbao’s house to make Poria Cream.”

Man Bao thought about it and thought it was a good idea. He happily said to Xiao Qian: "Sister-in-law, the Poria cream is delicious, and the Poria cake is also delicious. It would be great if you could make it."

Xiao Qian said happily: "The delicious snacks are all expensive and our family can't afford them, but we can send some to the Bai family."

Qian heard it from inside, held on to the wall and came out, smiling: "That's right, I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me. Man Bao, take two yuan to Bai's house tomorrow. This thing is so hard to find, and they don't have it either."

You eat it often, right?"

Manbao nodded. She didn't eat it often, she had only eaten it twice.

So the next day, Zhou Erlang took things to the county seat, and Man Bao packed two pieces in a bamboo basket and went to the school. Bai Shanbao looked at them curiously.

Man Bao pushed the bamboo basket in front of him and said, "This is for you."

Bai Shanbao looked at the roots in the basket and asked, "Why did you give me the roots?"

"This is Poria cocos."

Bai Shanbao is indeed Manbao's good friend. His eyes lit up and he immediately shouted: "Poria cream and Poria cake?"

Man Bao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, take it back and let your cook cook it. If there is not enough for my family, I can make it to make it easier for the husband."

She said: "My husband told me that this is Poria cocos."

Bai Shanbao had the impression that this food was not often eaten, so he asked: "Where did you get it from your family?"

If possible, they can buy more and save it, and then take it out and make it if you want to eat it later.

"It's hard to find it in the mountains. Yesterday, my fourth brother and fifth brother went up the mountain to search for it all day but couldn't find it. I happened upon it by chance when I went up the mountain the day before yesterday."

"It's so rare, can we grow it ourselves?"

Man Bao thought about it and thought his idea was a good one, "I think it looks a bit like a yam, but it is also a fungus, so how can I grow it?"

Bai Shanbao looked around, but he couldn't see how it looked like a yam. Could it be because they were both white inside.

Keke also didn't see how they looked alike, so she was also silent.

Bai Shanbao scratched his head and said, "Will you try every method then?"
