The people on the mountain were now preparing to go down the mountain to go home for dinner. Seeing Shiro carrying a hoe up the mountain, many people laughed and said, "Hey, Shiro is so diligent, are you going to stay up late?"

"It's good to be young, look at this energy."

"How much winter wheat do you plan to plant on Thursday? I see that you brothers have dug enough mud in the past few days, and you even came here with a hoe today..."

Zhou Lang responded with a smile. After entering the mountain, he did not look for Zhou Lang. Instead, he took Man Bao deeper into the forest. The two pine trees just now were very close to the deep forest, and now there was almost no one in that area.

Some people saw the Zhou Lang brothers and sisters in the past and didn't care. Anyway, people who came into the mountains at this time were either digging you or picking leaves. Everyone was used to it.

Zhou Lang looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he waved his hoe and started hoeing two feet away from the pine tree.

After digging down for about ten centimeters, he found nothing, so he dug in carefully.

He didn't dare to use too much force. He just hoeed and loosened a little bit of soil, and then dug out. He didn't find anything, so he continued.

Although this was cautious, it was also a bit slow. It took him a long time to dig, and he only saw a layer of dark brown skin when he was almost close to the tree stump.

Zhou Lang became excited and slowly dug around along the layer of skin.

After a while, a quite large spot was dug out along half of the pine tree. Of course, the Poria cocos underneath was not very big, but it penetrated quite deeply, and part of it was tightly wrapped with the roots of the pine tree.

Zhou Lang heard that that part is also a medicinal material called Poria Shenmu. Just hearing the name, Zhou Lang felt that this part was much more important than Poria.

Because there are three characters in other people’s names, it only has two characters, and there is also a word for god in the middle of people’s characters.

So Thursday Lang became even more gentle. This may be the clothes and meat of his wife and future children. Of course he must be careful.

"Shiro, what are you doing?"

Suddenly there was a roar from behind, which scared Zhou Lang and almost fell to the ground. Man Bao, who was squatting aside and watching intently, was startled. Without Zhou Lang's concentration, she sat down on the ground directly, and then collapsed.

If you pout, you will cry.

Hearing that Zhou Lang went up the mountain with a hoe but didn't come to help, Zhou Lang came to ask questions. He paused for a moment, then immediately rushed to comfort Man Bao, "Man Bao, second brother scared you?"

Zhou Lang didn't care about the Poria cocos in the pit anymore, and immediately turned around to comfort Man Bao, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the fourth brother is here. The second brother scared you, didn't he? I'll beat him for you."

He hit him as he said. Zhou Lang turned around and gave Zhou Lang a slap on the shoulder. He looked at Man Bao nervously and said, "How are you? Are you still afraid?"

Man Bao: "...not afraid."

Both brothers breathed a sigh of relief. The memory of Lao Zhoutou scaring Man Bao so much that she had a high fever last year was too deep.

Zhou Lang rubbed his shoulders, glared at Zhou Lang secretly, glanced at the hole he dug, and asked, "Why are you digging the roots?"

Zhou Lang gave him a flattering smile and whispered: "Second brother, this is not a tree root. Man Bao said, this is called Poria, and it is a medicine."

"Poria?" Zhou Erlang perked up and looked at the things in the pit brightly, "Man Bao, is this really Poria? I remember this thing is white."

"It's white," Zhou Lang also became excited and said happily: "The meat is white. Second brother, have you seen Poria cocos? Is this expensive?"

Zhou Zuorang thought for a moment and said, "It should be expensive. I've heard someone say that the women of wealthy families like to use this stuff to make desserts. It's also a good medicinal ingredient."

Since it was something that could make money, Zhou Lang would certainly not blame Zhou Lang for not doing his job properly, so he rolled up his sleeves and knelt down to help.

The two dug down bit by bit. After digging out the soil under the Poria cocos, they carefully separated it from the pine roots. Seeing the little white flesh exposed, Zhou Erlang was very happy.

Man Bao wants to fill back all the soil and restore it to its original state. This is her plan, "The Fungus family always seems to like to grow in the same place. If we fill it back in, maybe it will grow again next year."

Zhou Zuolang and the others didn't understand very well, but they listened to Man Bao and it was not difficult to fill the place with soil.

Zhou Lang also reached out and patted the pine tree stump and said with a smile: "Do you want to give it some fertilizer? This will make it grow faster."

Zhou Erlang glanced at him and said, "Your house is very fat. Just get more fallen leaves here to fill in the roots."

Zhou Erlang put the things away, stared at the roots of other trees, and asked: "Is this easy to find? Are there any more here?"

"There is another one over there. Both of them were found near the pine tree stumps. I suspect that we have to look for the pine tree stumps."

The two brothers took Manbao to look for it, and Zhou Erlang pondered: "Pine tree mound, then the pine trees have to be cut down, right? They may not be able to grow. We certainly can't cut down so many pine trees."

Zhou Erlang also immediately thought of the mountains. He rolled his eyes and lowered his voice and said, "Fourth brother, will you go to the mountains tomorrow to take a look?"

"That's what I planned too."

The two brothers looked at each other and understood.

Zhou Zuorang warned: "Be careful and don't let the people in Dali Village see you. If people in the village ask, just say you are looking for wild mushrooms. If you meet people in Dali Village, you should say the same thing."

Zhou Lang responded.

Man Bao said: "It's not wrong to look for wild mushrooms. Poria cocos belongs to the Fungi family."

Zhou Zuorang's eyes almost popped out of his head, "Are those lumps of things like tree roots fungi?"

Man Bao nodded. Although Keke didn't analyze its name, he was very sure that it was a fungus. This was unmistakable.

Zhou Lang and Zhou Lang were silent for a long time, and the brothers couldn't help but sigh, "Reading is really useful."

Zhou Lang whispered: "Second brother, why don't you send Datou and the others to study before the family gets rich?"

Zhou Zuorang sighed, "Both big-headed and two-headed are probably not good enough. Let's raise three-headed and four-headed. We can give it a try when they are older."

Even if Manbao doesn't teach them textbooks every day, he will give them homework, but they also see the learning of several children.

There are so many children in the family, including Zhou Dalang and Tuesday Lang, who follow Manbao in recognizing a few characters, but Erya is the one who really recognizes characters faster. Daya is a little behind, but he is much better than Datou Ertou.

Datou and Ertou are just two inexperienced lumps of elm wood. Lao Zhoutou can remember many words, but Datou and Ertou cannot yet remember them.

You must know that Manbao has said that children have better memories than adults and learn faster.

Even the father can remember it faster than the two children.

Zhou Erlang sighed sadly.

He reached out and patted Zhou Lang on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up and give birth to a baby and raise it well. Maybe it will make you smarter."

He began to think thoughtfully, "I also have to tell your second sister-in-law that we need to have another son..."
