Chapter 127 The Happiness of the People of Yun Province (3)
"Wow, how does the anchor know so much?" When I saw this comment pop up in the live broadcast room, I felt very happy and felt that my efforts were recognized and loved by everyone.
Looking at the constantly jumping comments on the screen, I responded with a smile: "Haha, thank you all for the compliments! Actually, these are all experiences I have accumulated over the years. If you pay more attention to my live broadcasts, you will also learn a lot of interesting knowledge."
As time went by, I finally arrived at a familiar forest. This forest is one of my favorite places because it is not only beautiful but also home to a variety of mushrooms. Every time I come here, I always discover many rare varieties.
Excited, I couldn't wait to start searching. Soon, my little bamboo basket was filled with all sorts of mushrooms: red mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, and chicken mushrooms. These mushrooms were vibrantly colored and exuded an alluring aroma, making my mouth water.
Looking at the full harvest, I felt very satisfied, so I decided to send the mushrooms in the basket to the cart first, and then continue to explore other places.
I walked back along the way I had come, admiring the beautiful scenery around me. Suddenly, I saw a tree full of blueberries and berries, which hung in bunches on the branches, shining with an attractive luster like gems.
I ran over excitedly, picked one and put it in my mouth, and immediately felt a sweet taste. These blueberries and berries were fresh and delicious, so I couldn't help but eat a few more.
After picking the fruit, I returned to the car with satisfaction. Next, I planned to go to the river to see if I could find some other treasures.
I leisurely strolled to the riverbank, where the crystal-clear water sparkled dazzlingly in the sunlight. As I slowly walked along the riverbank, I suddenly spotted some green plants ahead. They resembled reeds, but with slender leaves. Curiosity piqued my curiosity, and I was surprised to discover they were Houttuynia cordata!
Houttuynia cordata exudes a unique scent that some people find deeply appealing, while others find it unbearable. However, for me, it's a delicious delicacy. I happily picked some, ready to take home and cook them. Just as I was immersed in my joy, I suddenly heard a subtle noise. Puzzled, I turned my head and saw a cute little rabbit staring at me curiously.
The little rabbit was as white as snow, like a pure and flawless elf. Its eyes were like two crystal rubies, sparkling with a bright light. The little rabbit didn't seem frightened by me, and instead moved closer. I gently reached out my hand, trying to touch it. The little rabbit actually nuzzled my palm with its soft little head, as if expressing friendship and closeness.
I laughed heartily and played with the little rabbit for a while. Its company made my journey even more enjoyable. Then, carrying the houttuynia cordata I had picked and fond memories with me, I left the river.
I returned to the cart, put the houttuynia cordata aside, and found some food to feed the little rabbit. It ate happily, and from time to time raised its head to look at me, its eyes full of gratitude and joy.
After saying goodbye to the little rabbit, I pulled the cart home. On the way, I reflected on my day's experience, feeling overwhelmed with emotion. Nature always offers us endless surprises and beauty, allowing us to experience the wonder and richness of life. When I reached the hovercar, I carefully unloaded the mushrooms from it. Then, I tapped my laptop to temporarily lock the vehicle for safety. Without hesitation, I turned back up the mountain and continued carrying the remaining mushrooms. After three trips back and forth, I finally managed to carry all the mushrooms and blueberries down the mountain. Standing at the foot of the mountain, gazing at the bountiful mountain before me, a strong sense of reluctance welled up in my heart. I wished I could stay here searching for mushrooms until there were no more to be found. However, reason told me that humans should be content and give nature enough time to thrive. So, I silently told myself, "Goodbye, Forgotten Forest. I look forward to our next encounter." With this nostalgic feeling, I resolutely headed down the mountain. After returning home, I began to load my belongings and realized how cramped the hovercar was. The joy and satisfaction of picking mushrooms had now given way to the drudgery of carrying and washing them. But the thought of a good treat for myself tonight instantly dissipated my fatigue.
When I get home and unload all the mushrooms and fruit from the car, it's already 1:45 p.m. After a few minutes of rest, I open the refrigerator and take out the shrimp, planning to treat myself to a simple yet delicious brine shrimp dish. After all, after a busy morning, I don't have the energy for anything overly elaborate. So, I decide to make this favorite shrimp dish. Afterward, I'll take a shower and a short nap to relax and unwind.
After lunch and a shower, I lay on the sofa, opened my phone, and looked for a relaxing movie. Browsing the movie list, I found a documentary about a forest adventure. It was a perfect way to reminisce about my day in the mountains. The forest scenery in the film was breathtakingly beautiful, and the various rare plants and animals captivated me. Watching it, I fell asleep. In my dream, I was once again in that mysterious forest, playing with little rabbits and exploring more unknown treasures...
I slept soundly, not waking up until 4:50 p.m. When I got up and walked into the living room, I was shocked—it was a mess! It looked like last night's revelry had left quite a bit of evidence. But no matter, now was the time to clean up.
I went to the kitchen and saw a pile of fresh mushrooms on the countertop. They were my recent harvest. They needed to be cleaned before cooking, so I decided to deal with them first.
I've recently discovered a brilliant way to clean mushrooms—in the dishwasher! Simply trim the corners off the mushrooms, then place them in the dishwasher on the "fruit" cycle with the lowest water flow. This ensures they're clean without damaging their integrity. Otherwise, if I had to wash so many mushrooms by hand, I'd probably lose my passion for mushroom hunting in just two days. After all, while finding mushrooms is exciting, washing them can be a challenging task.
I thought as I sprang into action. After sorting all the mushrooms, I opened the dishwasher and carefully placed them inside. As the door slowly closed, I felt a surge of anticipation. Now, let the dishwasher work its magic!
While waiting for the dishwasher to finish, I continued to clean the living room. I cleaned the cart and basket I'd been using to transport mushrooms these past few days, dried them, and put them in storage. I then had the robot vacuum clean and disinfect the living room and bedroom, and straightened the sofa cushions. In a matter of moments, the living room was back to a state of tidiness and tranquility.
The dishwasher finally finished its work, and I eagerly opened the hatch to retrieve the washed mushrooms. Each one appeared so clean, fresh, and fragrant. Seeing my accomplishments filled me with immense satisfaction. The dishwasher repeated the process several more times before all the mushrooms were washed. Looking at the overflowing baskets of mushrooms before me, I nodded in satisfaction. These mushrooms were truly hard-earned! I picked them all myself, and each one is filled with the fragrance and vitality of nature.
I carefully picked up some mushrooms, placed them in a clear plastic bag, and gently placed the bag in the freezer. This is a very effective preservation method that can keep the mushrooms fresh and delicious for longer.
I know that quick freezing can prevent the growth and reproduction of bacteria, thereby extending the shelf life of food. At the same time, this low temperature environment can also preserve the delicious flavor of the mushrooms, so that they still emit an attractive aroma in future cooking.
This afternoon, I not only successfully cleaned up the mess in the living room, but also found an efficient way to deal with mushrooms. Life's little joys often appear inadvertently, making us feel happy.
