When Xu Xiaoying arrived, she held a few small shovels in her hand, which were the kind that she usually used to weed in a small yard, and she also held three wicker baskets in her other hand.

"It was raining the day before yesterday and yesterday. There must be a lot of mushrooms in the pine forest outside the city today. Let's go pick mushrooms. The mushrooms are freshest at this time, and it's so greedy when you think about it." Xu Xiaoying jumped over with a bright smile on her face.

Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the smile on her face and felt happy. She hadn't seen Xu Xiaoying's signature silly smile for a long time.

The three of them walked out of the city from the south gate of the county town, walked out of the south gate and headed southeast. They could walk about twenty minutes to the edge of the pine forest. This pine forest is very large, all pine trees that have been around for decades or hundreds of years. The trunks of each tree grew to the size of a bowl.

The county attaches great importance to this forest and regularly provides special people to maintain it. An ecological park was established here, which was built according to the terrain, so that pavilions and pavilions were built for those who came to stroll. There is also a temple deep in the woods. During festivals, young and old in the county would come here to worship and do rituals. At this time, this is the most lively place in the county.

The main purpose of the three of them today is to pick mushrooms. As for how far they go, they can go wherever they want.

People living in the south of the city basically know that there will be many mushrooms growing when it rains in this woods, so there are many people on the road, carrying baskets and shovels, some of which are students like them.

The pace of the examinations in the county is the same. The midterm examinations, including primary schools, have just finished the midterm examinations. After the examinations, they will come out to relax. So today there are many students in and outside the county. They have walked all the way from the county and met many classmates in the class and grade.

Walking into the pine forest, people were everywhere near the periphery, and everyone was half-squatting and carefully digging mushrooms. The three of them walked along the way and found that the mushrooms next to the roots had been glowed. Even the small ones were not let go, and they had to continue walking in.

The three of them walked deeper and the more they walked, the fewer people were coming. They could vaguely see the traces of mushrooms. The people here call the mushrooms growing in this pine forest called pine mushrooms. This kind of pine mushroom soup, stew or stir-fry is delicious, and it is the most popular mushroom.

After walking for half an hour, I had almost reached the depths of the woods. The pine and mushrooms under the trees were standing there playfully with small umbrellas. The three of them scattered and found one to start digging slowly.

"I will use these pine mushrooms for my parents to make delicious meals tonight." Xu Xiaoying made a happy plan while digging.

Ling Xiaoxiao was laughing at the side: "Are you sure you want to make delicious food for them? I remember that some people seem to know how to cook at all. Every time they enter the kitchen, they make the kitchen look like a disaster scene."

After hearing Ling Xiaoxiao's joke, Wu Qingqing couldn't help laughing. She knew that Xu Xiaoying is a kitchen killer. Last summer vacation, they also came out to pick mushrooms like this and then went back to make lunch excitedly. As a result, Xu Xiaoying almost lit up the kitchen at Ling Xiaoxiao's house as soon as she took action...

When he was teased by two good friends, Xu Xiaoying felt embarrassed: "You two bad guys, you know how to laugh at me. I tell you, I am very awesome now, and I can cook for my mother. Humph, you don't know how powerful I am."

The more she said this, the more Ling Xiaoxiao and Wu Qingqing laughed. Some people are born with things that they are not good at, and cooking is a kind of thing for Xu Xiaoying.

Seeing that his good friend was completely disrespectful, Xu Xiaoying angrily found a little further away and squatted down to dig, while digging, muttering: "Stinky Xiaoxiao, stinky Qingqing, are not good things."

The three of them dug for a while and then they were filled. Because Xu Xiaoying didn't say what to do in advance, Ling Xiaoxiao and Wu Qingqing were not prepared. Looking at the mushrooms all over the ground, they felt a little reluctant to take them back if they couldn't dig them.

"Let's go through the bags to see if there are plastic bags or other things that can be filled with things." Ling Xiaoxiao likes pine mushrooms the most, so she won't be annoyed after eating them for a month. Now, looking at her favorites all over the ground, her saliva is about to flow down.

The three of them rummaged through for a long time and found a few newspapers and a small plastic bag. Ling Xiaoxiao looked at it and said, "Let's fold the newspaper, and it should be able to pack a little more."

The three of them squatted on the ground and studied how to put more newspapers on. At this time, a few people came not far away. Ling Xiaoxiao looked up and saw five people coming, one of them was walking in front with his hands on his back. He followed a man in his right, holding two briefcases in his hand, and behind them, there were three people chatting while walking.

The biggest of the five people in the middle and grades was the one who was walking in the front. Looking at the 40s, the man holding two briefcases behind him was younger, and he looked only about thirty years old. The five people dressed very similarly, with a casual jacket on the top of the shirt and a trousers and leather shoes on the bottom.

"Little girl, you guys are picking mushrooms." The person who walked in the front saw the three of them and walked over and greeted him while walking.

Ling Xiaoxiao stopped the movements in her hand, looked up at them, and now she was really uncomfortable when she squatted and looked at the people, so she slowly stood up, and Xu Xiaoying and Wu Qingqing on the side also stood up and leaned over.

"I must be picking mushrooms. Why don't I pick mushrooms here if I come here this season?" Xu Xiaoying spoke more straightforwardly.

The middle-aged man who said hello smiled after hearing this, walked forward a few steps and stood in front of their baskets and looked at them.

"You pine mushrooms are very fresh and pick a lot." The middle-aged man looked at them with a smile.

Ling Xiaoxiao looked at them vigilantly, unable to figure out the purpose of these people coming over, but they didn't look like bad guys in their clothes and their words and deeds. The person who spoke to them had a very heavy official voice in his words.

"You go in, there are more mushrooms. If you like it, pick them yourself." Xu Xiaoying rolled her eyes and said quickly, causing Ling Xiaoxiao and Wu Qingqing to pull her clothes from behind.

"The pine mushrooms in this pine forest are considered specialties in the county. After it rains, everyone will come to pick them. It is not a novel thing." Ling Xiaoxiao slightly turned sideways to block Xu Xiaoying. This girl always speaks just by her brain. She doesn't know what these people do. It's too inappropriate for her to mock her so much.

"Yes, our county is indeed a specialty. It is very famous in several nearby counties, and some people come to buy it." The middle-aged man looked at Ling Xiaoxiao with a smile, and the expression on his face did not change at all from beginning to end.
