In mid-July, the ginseng seeds turned red again, and the people in the village flocked to pick them. Jinghan and her family paused their other tasks to focus solely on harvesting their own ginseng seeds. Once their seeds were taken care of, Jinghan and her siblings headed into the mountains.
Jinghan harbored the notion of growing mushrooms, so she was especially vigilant for any mushrooms while in the woods. If she wanted to cultivate mushrooms on wood, she naturally needed to select those that grew on trees in the first place. As they walked, Jinghan heard Wenxuan shout, "Sis, what's that over there? Why is there a big patch of yellow?"
Jinghan looked up and followed the direction Wenxuan was pointing. To her surprise, several large tree stumps were covered in elm yellow mushrooms. My goodness, these mushrooms were thriving! From top to bottom, they densely blanketed the stumps - there must have been so many! Jinghan hastened her pace and approached the thick stumps.
