Chapter 60 -60 Little Chicken: What are you eating?
Xu Yang plucked the Arch Mouth Mushrooms one by one from the tree.
The mushrooms were quite intact.
At a glance, the Arch Mouth Mushrooms seemed black and had the appearance of wood ear mushrooms.
But upon closer inspection, each Arch Mouth Mushroom was quite thick and springy.
“It’s true that Arch Mouth Mushrooms are poisonous, but as long as you’re careful, eating them once won’t be a problem.”
“Just don’t be tempted by their delicious taste and eat them again the next day.”
“Moreover, wash them several times and sun-dry them, then there shouldn’t be any issues.”
As Xu Yang picked the mushrooms, he explained.
[Old Xu, don’t worry, we won’t even eat them!]
[I have never understood why someone would want to eat mushrooms even though they’re poisonous!]
[Are those Arch Mouth Mushrooms from Yanbian? I remember them; they’re super tasty!]
[The flavor is really good, an ultimate delight, but you’ll likely end up at the hospital after eating them!]
The viewers responded.
The Arch Mouth Mushrooms on this tree didn’t seem too numerous, but as Xu Yang began picking, everyone realized there were indeed a lot of them.
One bamboo basket was nearly full.
The other bags of mushrooms had to be taken out first.
The Little Black Dog, bored out of its mind, ran happily to the side, picked up a twig, and brought it over to Xu Yang’s feet.
The twig was quite thick, seemingly heavier than Little Black itself.
Dogs like to play with twigs as toys.
The Maquan dog was much calmer, simply staying quietly by Xu Yang’s side.
It seemed like a bodyguard.
The mountain forest after rain, the young man picking mushrooms, two little dogs,
The scene had a refreshing feel to it.
Many people watched the live stream of mushroom picking.
It was real and unknown; no one knew what would happen next.
So everyone watched with excitement.
Soon, the Arch Mouth Mushrooms filled up a large crate.
“I didn’t expect to strike it big with Arch Mouth Mushrooms.”
“I’ll keep a bit to eat for myself and sell the rest at the mountain goods market.”
“I’ll go sell them this afternoon, and they should fetch a good sum of money.”
Xu Yang said cheerfully, looking at the tightly packed black mushrooms in the bamboo basket.
He had intended to pick some mushrooms for himself to eat, never guessing that the Treasure Compass would locate a windfall of Arch Mouth Mushrooms.
Typically, the mushrooms that sprout after the rain aren’t very expensive.
The more valuable mushroom varieties, such as Bovine liver mushrooms, are scarce, while Chicken Mushrooms don’t usually grow in the mountains but in places resembling cornfields.
As for golden mushrooms and Birch Mushroom, they are rare as well.
This time, finding so many Arch Mouth Mushrooms, which he couldn’t eat by himself, he was forced to make a small profit.
Xu Yang roughly estimated that these Arch Mouth Mushrooms could sell for six to seven hundred yuan, which was quite valuable.
Although it wasn’t a lot of money, it was still an unexpected fortune and worth being happy about.
Packing up a basket of Arch Mouth Mushrooms, Xu Yang felt it was about enough.
There wasn’t much to see with the other mushrooms.
He might as well come back for another look tomorrow.
Some mushrooms were still forming, and the two days following the rain were the perfect time for picking mushrooms.
There would be no shortage of mushrooms in the next few days.
“Today’s luck isn’t bad.”
“Those Bovine liver mushrooms are valuable, easily worth two to three hundred yuan, but since there are few, I’m not planning on selling them; I’ll eat them myself.”
“I’ll go sell the Arch Mouth Mushrooms this afternoon. Actually, I don’t even need to go all the way to the mountain goods market, I can just call the little restaurant in town, and they will come to buy them.”
“After all, tourists come to town, and this dish is a local specialty, so there’s a high demand for Arch Mouth Mushrooms.”
“Wash them thoroughly, eat moderately, and there shouldn’t be any problem.”
Xu Yang walked down the small mountain path back home, smiling as he spoke.
Little Black followed behind, carrying a twig in its mouth, moving somewhat slowly.
The Maquan dog stayed close by his side.
Looking back and seeing Little Black, Xu Yang suddenly laughed.
“This little guy, he’s taken a liking to this stick.”
“Probably wants to imitate me, picking up things in the mountain.”
“What do you even need this thing for?”
Although Xu Yang chided with his words, he still squatted down, took the twig from Little Black’s mouth, and held it in his hands.
He had no choice; seeing how clumsily Little Black handled the twig, it probably wouldn’t have gotten far, so he had to carry it for him.
When they got back to the farm, he would let it play to its heart’s content.
Once Xu Yang grabbed the twig, Little Black quickly caught up.
The scene was still heartwarming.
There were many more mushrooms in the forest, and on his way back, Xu Yang ran into two villagers who had also gone up the mountain to pick mushrooms.
At this time of year, basically everyone would go out to gather mushrooms.
After all, wild mushrooms were there for the taking.
With no noteworthy events along the way, the live stream simply showed the scenery.
Xu Yang turned off the microphone and focused on hurrying back.
Thanks to the drone’s excellent point of view, the live-stream footage was very comfortable to watch.
Greenery was everywhere, and it looked incredibly fresh.
Until he returned to the farm.
Xu Yang casually threw Little Black’s stick on the ground, and the dog immediately scampered over to fetch it.
He was also quite a troublemaker, carrying the stick around Maquan in circles, his show-off attitude could not be clearer.
Maquan paid him no mind and did not even give him a glance.
Xu Yang told his viewers that he was going to end the live stream, everyone was reluctant to leave, and soon the broadcast was closed.
He called the farmhouse restaurant in town, and as soon as they heard there were fresh Arch Mouth Mushrooms, they immediately drove over.
Arch Mouth Mushrooms were very tasty, perfectly fine as long as you didn’t overeat.
The concern was with overindulgence, one meal was fine, but a second serving could cause your mouth to swell up.
Such delicious items were in high demand at the farmhouse, so they came straight over to purchase them as soon as they heard Xu Yang had some.
At this point, Li Shan came to ask for time off as a relative was getting married, and both Li Shan and Zhang Mei needed to go help out.
And take the opportunity to enjoy the feast.
Leaving Xu Yang alone on the farm.
“Sure, just go ahead,” he said.
“I was just saying how the mushrooms we picked today were really tasty.”
Xu Yang said with a smile.
“Brother Yang, I need to help out, so I’ll leave the farm in your care. I’ll be back tomorrow afternoon after the feast.”

Li Shan spoke somewhat hesitantly.
“No problem, it’s normal to ask for a day off, no need to rush back, there’s not much going on at the farm,” Xu Yang reassured, waving his hand for Li Shan to go on about his business.
“Thanks, Brother Yang, I’ll come back as soon as I can.”
“Do your thing, it’s all good, no rush,” Xu Yang told him.
Zhang Mei wouldn’t be coming over in the evening either, so Xu Yang had to take care of dinner himself.
Fortunately, he was quite a good cook. Although he couldn’t make top-level state banquet dishes, he had no issues preparing everyday dishes.
After taking a shower, Xu Yang changed into a set of comfortable casual clothes.
He took a small round stove out of the storage and added charcoal to it, quickly raising the temperature inside.
He also brought out a barbecue grill and added some charcoal to that as well.
Xu Yang had planned on filming a video, but then he thought he might as well start a stream and chat with everyone for a bit.
After all, the content of the live stream could also be used for video material.
The drone quickly took off, hovering mid-air and capturing Xu Yang from above.
This time the drone wasn’t flying very high, and it captured the scenery inside the yard quite clearly.
Viewers began to pour into the live stream.
[Old Xu, you’re streaming again!]
[Working overtime, or did someone take over?]
[This doesn’t seem like you!]
Xu Yang explained with a smile:
“Today, I went to the mountain and dug up some mushrooms, so I’m live-streaming while eating mushrooms tonight.”
“I’ll show you all my cooking skills.”
“In this pot, I’m stewing chicken with mushrooms.”
“I’ve blanched the chicken, stir-fried it with spring onion, ginger, garlic, and added soy sauce and oyster sauce for color.”
“I’ve also cleaned the mushrooms, and now they’re simmering in the pot.”
Xu Yang showed the viewers the clay pot on the stove.
He lifted the lid, and wisps of white steam rose ethereally.
Inside, the dark soy-soaked chicken pieces bubbled away as they stewed.
It was evening now, with the sun setting in the west.
Xu Yang sat on a small stool, tending to the stove and barbecue grill, looking particularly at ease.
“Chicken stew with mushrooms is a famous dish around here, the combination of the chicken’s aroma with the mushroom’s fragrance is incredibly appetite-stimulating.”
“The chicken must be stewed until tender, so tender it falls off the bone and can be easily bitten off.”
Xu Yang was describing the deliciousness of the chicken stew with mushrooms.
Just then, a series of cheeps could be heard from the side.
Turning his head, Xu Yang saw that a chick had somehow escaped from the chicken coop and made its way to the open space on the farm, curiously looking at Xu Yang.
“Oh boy.”
“Why is there a chicken running out here?”
“Do you want to eat chicken stew with mushrooms, or do you want to become the chicken stew with mushrooms?”
Xu Yang said, somewhat astonished.
The viewers heard his words and immediately burst out laughing.
This scene was just too amusing.
[Hahaha, a chicken actually ran over.]
[Little Chicken: What are you eating? I’m asking you, what are you eating?!]
[Little Chicken: I smelled my auntie’s scent and came running over!]
[Old Xu, better late than never, just stew it too!]
The bullet chat started to liven up.
