Chapter 188 Prepare to change direction and continue searching

After hearing what his wife said, the captain's eyes slowly fell on the piles of fresh mushrooms scattered among the mountains.

He couldn't help but think about it from another perspective, what if he was not the captain at this moment, but just an ordinary member of the team.

When you see such a large number of high-quality mushrooms, it is probably hard not to be tempted, and you may even have some bad thoughts.

Thinking of this, the captain's originally relaxed expression suddenly became serious. He turned his head to look at the people who had climbed the mountain with him, and said solemnly:

"Your captain's aunt is right. Don't just be happy. Let's take care of our own belongings first and get them back home as soon as possible. The sooner we get this done, the sooner we can feel at ease!"

And only if we settle these things as soon as possible can we free up more time and energy to help them continue to look for other mountain products, right?

As for what to do with this batch of mushrooms, I think we can wait until night. Anyway, as long as we keep a close eye on them, we don't have to worry too much about thieves taking advantage of the situation.

After all, as the saying goes, 'I don't fear thieves stealing, I fear thieves thinking about it'!"

At this moment, Uncle Zhou, who was usually generous and magnanimous, laughed heartily and said:

"Hahaha, that's right!

We have to act quickly. We can't let Guihua and the others work in vain, right?

Even if these mountain products really do rot in the pot, we should first dig them into our own pot!"

When everyone heard the usually dignified members of the brigade say this, the male educated youth in the small educated youth compound just stood quietly by and listened, without making any comments.

The reason for this is very simple. They know very well that a scene like the current one is obviously more suitable for local residents to speak actively and express their opinions.

They are just newcomers, and they are very lucky to be able to harvest so many mountain products, so it is better to keep a low profile.

Just like that, after hearing the team leader and Uncle Zhou speak one after another, the male educated youth silently began to take action and got busy without saying a word.

There was another important reason for choosing to remain silent - they found that the number of mushrooms they collected was obviously more than that of anyone else, and they couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

But at the same time, they are worried that if they rashly strike up a conversation or argue with others, it may attract extra attention to the mushrooms in their hands, thus causing unnecessary trouble and disputes.

Based on the above considerations, the male educated youth decided to continue to uphold the principle of "keeping a low profile in life and work", quietly complete the work at hand, and try to avoid unnecessary trouble.

At this moment, the whole scene became extremely lively.

The team leader bent down and took the lead, carefully searching for the mushrooms hidden in the grass on the ground.

Uncle Zhou was not to be outdone. His movements were skillful and gentle, as if he were treating these mushrooms like rare treasures.

The two young men who were urgently called up the mountain to help were moving vigorously through the mountains and forests, their sharp eyes capturing every corner where mushrooms might be hidden.

At the same time, the male educated youth in the small educated youth courtyard also behaved very actively.

They carefully picked up the mushrooms on the ground and put them carefully into the bamboo basket behind them.

Everyone felt like they were holding fragile porcelain in their hands, afraid that the slightest exertion would break these hard-earned treasures.

When going down the mountain, the male educated youth were especially cautious.

They deliberately followed closely behind the captain and others and chose another more hidden path.

Doing so not only allows them to avoid other people who may appear and cause unnecessary trouble, but also ensures that the mushrooms they have worked hard to pick will not be discovered by others.

However, at this time, the aunts and female educated youth who were originally excited about finding mushrooms saw that the men had already started to work in an orderly manner.

As they were preparing to go down the mountain with the fruits of their harvest, they did not pay much attention to the situation here.

Instead, they just casually pointed in a certain direction towards the men, indicating that their group planned to go to that place to continue looking for more mushrooms.

Then, they turned around without hesitation and walked quickly in the indicated direction, fully expecting to make new discoveries.

The surprising scene of discovering those mushrooms kept appearing in Xia Zhiyan and Aunt Zhou's minds, and they were in a particularly happy mood.

After waving goodbye to their companions who had gone up the mountain with them, they happily carried their bamboo baskets full of mushrooms on their backs, and with brisk steps, rushed towards where their original companions were like an arrow from a bow.

At the same time, Zhou Tingfeng was the only one left there.

He stood quietly beside the pile of mushrooms that had not yet been transported down the mountain, looking around vigilantly, fearing that someone else would pass by and take these precious mushrooms for themselves.

In order to ensure the safety of the mushrooms, he did not dare to relax at all and guarded there silently, hoping that the returning people would come back as soon as possible.

At this time, Xia Zhiyan had already left with the team leader's aunt and other female educated youth in the Youth League.

She didn't know that after she left, even though the four male educated youth in her yard worked together, they were unable to carry all the mushrooms down the mountain, and some of them were still left on the mountain.

However, Wang Wenxiang and his friends took out a small amount of mushrooms as a reward, and sincerely asked Zhou Tingfeng to help take care of the remaining mushrooms, and then left the original venue without any worries.

At this moment, she suddenly recalled the scene she saw when she slowly returned to the yard carrying the huge mountain of mushrooms.

I saw those hardworking and capable male educated youth busy in their yard, carefully processing the various mountain products they had worked hard to find in the morning.

Seeing this scene, she had an idea and hurried forward to chat with the team leader and Aunt Guihua.

She asked this and that, hoping to get some valuable advice from the two experienced elders on how to properly handle mountain products.

After all, no matter it was early morning or at noon when the sun was scorching, Aunt Captain and Aunt Guihua would go up the mountain with other educated youths in the Youth League to look for mountain products, and the harvest was always quite rich!

Faced with this studious young educated youth, the captain's aunt and Guihua's aunt were naturally very happy to share the experience they had accumulated over the years.

The two of them talked to the young educated youth in detail, explaining the characteristics, processing methods and preservation techniques of each mountain product.

Not only that, they also reminded from time to time:

"Children, if you are still not sure what to do after listening to me, don't worry, you can always come to me.

Auntie will teach you personally step by step!

If you need jars or cans to store mountain products at home, just come and let us know.

Then we can take you to the houses in the brigade that specialize in making clay pots and exchange them for some!"

While they were discussing these topics enthusiastically, Lin Sitian seemed a little absent-minded.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes wandering, obviously not fully focused on the conversation.

It's not her fault. After all, she knows that she is the youngest and least experienced in the team.

As for the complicated and tedious matters of handling mountain products, she felt that it was enough as long as she completed her own job well.

It seemed that only the team leader and Bai Zhiqing, who was passionate about cooking, were interested in discussing how to select, clean and cook mountain products.

Thinking of this, Lin Sitian couldn't help but nod secretly in her heart, and became more determined in her thoughts:

Since someone is already listening carefully and actively offering suggestions, why should you bother paying attention?

Instead of doing that, it would be better to devote yourself to finding mushrooms.
