Chapter 23: All Trash

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The ingredients on the four units of land had already been harvested by Li Chengqian using his skill.

The plastic bag and the small bucket in front of him had already been filled with ingredients.

There were more than 100 matsutakes, and each of them was the size of a fist. They looked amazing, white and tender, emitting a special scent. Li Chengqian had specially checked on the internet. This type of matsutake was considered top grade. One kilogram was worth about 1,000 yuan.

One unit of land and one harvest only yielded two kilograms of matsutake.

The other bag contained white truffles. There were only five of them, each about the size of a fist. There were only two kilograms in total.

A very special scent came from the white truffle. It didn’t smell all that good, and was a little like gasoline.

However, this was a world-class ingredient. The price of one kilogram was about 10,000 yuan.

Then, there was the ginseng. Five pieces of ginseng as thick as an arm. They were fair and fat with green roots and beard-like whiskers.

There was also a bag of dried bacteria.

The last bag was filled with fresh peanuts with shells intact. A particularly fresh scent emerged from the peanuts.

Li Chengqian had always liked to eat raw peanuts. After harvesting them, he immediately peeled one and popped it into his mouth.

The fragrance of peanuts immediately filled his mouth. Li Chengqian thoroughly enjoyed that fragrance.

Moreover, these plants planted through the Farmer profession were already different from the original.

Apart from their original properties, they also brought other properties.

One could restore Strength Stats after eating matsutakes and truffles, but the restoration effect was average, one catty could only restore 3 Strength points, unlike pea pods.

Ginseng was especially powerful. A mature ginseng could restore five Strength Stats and five Intelligence Stats every day for a week after eating it.

One could restore Strength Stats by eating dried bacteria, but the effect was not very obvious. One catty could only restore +1 Strength Stats.

Peanuts have new properties that restore eight Strength Stats in 24 hours.

“Plant!” A piece of ginseng sprout emerged from the four units of land, instantly covering the four pieces of black soil.

The land reclaimed by the Farmer profession was extremely fertile and was the best land. Even if he used normal farming methods instead of the skills of the Farmer profession, he would still have obtained a good harvest.

It was just that he would need the usual amount of time as ordinary farming.

“Not many people come here. I’ll plant the ginseng here and come take a look whenever I have time. According to the rules of the Master of All Professions game, if I continue to farm after the crop matures, the quality will improve and the new crops will yield stronger effects.”

Even if Li Chengqian didn’t take care of it, it would still continue to grow. The only difference was that it would grow slightly slower.

After planting ginseng in the soil, Li Chengqian shifted his gaze to the ingredients he had just harvested.

“These are all top-notch stuff! I’ll take them back and let my parents have a taste.” The corners of Li Chengqian’s mouth curled up into a smile. He picked up the bag and small bucket and began to walk back.

Struggling through the bushes, Li Chengqian returned to Peach Blossom Valley.

Coincidentally, Huang Jingjing was haughtily imparting knowledge on good quality ingredients to Chen Li.

“Chen Li, let me tell you, at Grade 12, nutritional balance is very important. The children are tired of eating the same old pork, pork ribs, and pork belly. They’re not willing to eat these anymore.”

“Seafood, top-of-the-line beef, rich in vitamins, amino acids, DHA, and other substances. Children become smarter after eating them.”

Coincidentally, the ingredients Chen Li had prepared were pork, pork belly, and pork ribs.

The only special item was the small bag of pea pods.

“Mom, I found some delicious food in the mountains,” Li Chengqian deliberately said loudly. Then, he lifted the food in his hand and brought it in front of Huang Jingjing.

The smell of truffles was strong to begin with, and the smell of truffles planted using the skills of the Farmer profession was even stronger.

Huang Jingjing sniffed and immediately detected a strange smell.

This smell was like gasoline mixed with mushrooms, soil, and garlic. It was especially pungent!

“Yucks, Li Chengqian, what is that? Why is it so smelly?” Huang Jingjing moved to the side with a look of disdain.

“I was lucky. I found some truffles, matsutakes, dried bacteria, ginseng, and peanuts in the mountains!” Li Chengqian took the opportunity to separate Huang Jingjing from his mother.

“Pfft!” Huang Jingjing burst into laughter.

Peach Blossom Mountain was not a place to grow truffles, matsutakes, and ginseng. If these three precious items were here, Peach Blossom Mountain would have been flattened by the wild animals. How could these be waiting for Li Chengqian to harvest?

In addition, dried bacteria and peanuts were clearly not products of this season.

So, without even looking at the items in Li Chengqian’s hand, she was certain that he was lying.

“Kid, you’re talking nonsense.”

“Whether it’s truffles or matsutakes, they’re all top-notch ingredients. A catty costs a few thousand yuan. How can you possibly find them on this mountain?”

“I don’t mean to reprimand you, but it’s best for children to be honest and not lie. Otherwise, it’ll be difficult to change your ways in future.”

Li Chengqian had a trace of anger on his face, but he did not argue with Huang Jingjing.

Therefore, Li Chengqian didn’t say a word. Instead, he turned around and said to Chen Li with a smile, “Mom, you’ve brought pork belly and pork ribs today. These are all my favorite foods. Don’t listen to other people’s nonsense.”

Immediately, a smile appeared on Chen Li’s originally tense face.

Compared to what other people say, the most important thing was to obtain Li Chengqian’s approval.

“Let’s eat some peanuts first. I found them on the mountain. They’re especially delicious.” The peanuts obtained through the Harvest skill were clean and did not carry any soil. They carried a natural fragrance.

Li Chengqian opened the bag containing the peanuts, revealing the peanuts with the fragrance of the soil.

“Ding Ling, you guys come over and eat with us.” Seeing Ding Ling bring her parents over, Li Chengqian smiled as he beckoned them over.

“Sure!” Ding Ling agreed happily and walked over with her parents.

“Delicious, it’s too delicious. Li Chengqian, where did you find these peanuts?” Ding Ling peeled a peanut and placed it in her mouth. The rich fragrance, as well as the fresh and sweet taste unique to tender peanuts, stimulated her taste buds.

The others ate one of the peanuts skeptically. Then, their expressions instantly became the same as Ding Ling’s. Everyone’s eyes lit up, and they grabbed a second helping.

Huang Jingjing watched as Li Chengqian ignored her, then invited Ding Ling and her family over to eat the peanuts. Moreover, she took notice of what he said about not listening to other people’s nonsense.

He was obviously talking about her.

Instantly, she became unhappy.

Seeing Li Chengqian’s family and Ding Ling’s family sitting together and eating with relish, she felt even more uncomfortable.

In addition, Li Chengqian actually didn’t invite her to join in. This made her feel even more embarrassed.

“Frozen peanuts bought at five yuan a catty, and you’re eating it so enthusiastically… We’ll see if you get diarrhea later,” Huang Jingjing cursed softly.

“What ginseng? I think it’s just a white radish! Such a big ginseng will probably take hundreds of years to grow. One stalk will cost hundreds of thousands!” She turned to look at the ginseng that was as thick as an arm. She couldn’t see it clearly because of the plastic bag, and thus it looked like a white radish to her.

As for the matsutakes that Li Chengqian mentioned, she took a closer look and said disdainfully, “These are clearly apricot mushrooms sold at the supermarkets. They’ve even been washed.”

If these were really matsutakes, they would cost more than 1,000 yuan per catty, and this bag would cost 5,000 yuan!

As for the truffle that Li Chengqian mentioned, he deliberately stretched out her head to take a closer look and realized that it was white, just like a small sweet potato. “Hehe, passing sweet potatoes off as truffle, you really have the cheek to brag!”

“Daughter, does Li Chengqian like to brag?” Turning her head, Huang Jingjing asked Jian Qingli.

“I didn’t realize it before, but recently I’ve realized that he really loves bragging.” Seeing Li Chengqian ignore Huang Jingjing, Jian Qingli was also very uncomfortable because she felt that what Huang Jingjing said was the truth. Li Chengqian had no right to be angry.

“Daughter, don’t hang out with such an untrustworthy person in the future. He definitely won’t have a future.”

“Let them enjoy the five-dollar-a-kilogram frozen food.”

“Mommy will make Australian lobsters for you…” Huang Jingjing snorted and raised her head arrogantly. Be it Chen Li or the ingredients brought by Li Chengqian, they were all trash compared to her Australian lobster, Kobe beef, and ginseng.
