Chapter 90: No Wastage

There was not enough sunlight below, so there was very little vegetation under these big trees, unlike the weeds on the outer edge of the mountain.

This path was naturally easier to walk.

Jiang Yue walked for a while and finally found a large area that she was satisfied with. The place was cool and a little damp, and the soil had a high amount of humidity.

Jiang Yue squatted down and took out two small shovels from her space. She gave one to Xue Yan and one to herself.

Xue Yan squatted in front of her, waiting for her to teach him how to dig the soil for the mushrooms.

Jiang Yue then took out the moonbelly mushrooms with fungi roots from thin air and placed them on the ground.

The young mushroom was so small that she could break it if she didn’t pay attention.

Xue Yan observed carefully.

Jiang Yue picked up a young mushroom and used a small shovel to remove some of the soil on the ground. Then, she placed the bottom of the mushroom down and buried the soil back.

One young moonbelly mushroom was enough to make a village.

“In any case, the movements have to be light, and there’s no need to dig too deep.” Jiang Yue said.

Xue Yan nodded. Then, he changed his direction and started to repeat what she did as well.

The rarer something was, the more expensive it would be. Jiang Yue could not plant too many of them as she would not be able to sell them for a high price. Therefore, she had to find another place to plant them.

They found two places. Both areas were wet and did not need to be watered.

“There are no traces of wild beasts in these two places. We’ll come back to harvest them in a few days. We should be able to harvest as many as we plant.” Jiang Yue said.

Xue Yan nodded.

“Here, you should also scatter some of this.” Suddenly, two small bags appeared in Jiang Yue’s hands. She handed one of them to him.

Xue Yan took it without suspicion, opened it and found that the seeds of some precious herbs had been mixed together.

He immediately turned to Jiang Yue. However, Jiang Yue had already started to sow the seeds. She would sow the seeds wherever she walked, and as long as she found a suitable spot, she would sow the seeds.

Xue Yan frowned his eyebrows and then followed closeby to scatter the seeds.

“There are also lingzhi seeds mixed in here.” Jiang Yue said as she scattered the seeds.

Xue Yan’s hand that was grabbing the seeds from the bag paused. She even knew about lingzhi…

Lingzhi actually had seeds? Can it really be planted by humans?

Jiang Yue saw through his thoughts and said, “When the lingzhi reaches maturity, it will spray out powdery spores and reproduce. The seed I’m talking about is actually those pollen-like spores.”

No wonder his hand felt like it was stained with powder…

Xue Yan was silent again. Although the word spore was beyond his knowledge, he still shook his hand and threw the powder-like thing on the ground. These were all lingzhi seeds apparently, so he didn’t want to waste them.

He scattered the seeds wherever he went, and just like that, the seeds in the two small bags were completely scattered.

After that, they didn’t stay in the mountains for long and left immediately after. The sun was still high up in the sky and had not set yet. During this time, they didn’t encounter a single prey.

The family would treat the dozen or so men who were close to Erfu to dinner tonight. Those dozen or so men had helped to carry the blind bear back last time.

When Jiang Yue and Xue Yan returned home, Liu Guixia and the others were already busy cooking. Some were washing the vegetables, some were cooking, and some were lighting the fire.

Since it was a treat, they had to be decently dressed and the meal had to be delicious. Everyone knew that their family earned about a hundred silver, so they couldn’t be too shabby when treating them to a meal. So, Xue Dafu had Liu Guixia give Xue Erfu some money to buy some fish in town.
