Chapter 335 The little girl picking mushrooms

"As you know, there are many types of mushrooms, and some mushrooms are very fragile and can be easily injured." Natsume Naoki knelt down on the quilt and spoke sternly.

"Tell me, why are you so fragile?" Asai Mao threw the towel to Natsume Naoki, "Give me an example. If you can convince me, maybe you won't be injured tonight."

Natsume Naoki took the towel and knew what she meant by looking at the water droplets on the smooth feet in front of her.

The footbath was the same one he carried and poured out for Asai just now.

In the past, Asai would boil hot water for him to soak his feet. When he was studying in the room, when he was tired from studying, the maid would bring him a steaming footbath for him to wash his feet and wash away the fatigue of the day.

When he was washing his feet, Asai would go to the kitchen to make a fruit plate, wash and cut the apples into pieces, and make a fruit salad with the bananas before serving them.

Take it to the toilet and throw it away.

After returning to Hokkaido to live with his parents in Tokyo, Natsume Naoki would certainly not let Asai do this again... He actually said it once or twice when he was in Tokyo, but Asai would always bring up the maid contract to make excuses.

He couldn't defeat her. In fact, few people could sway Asai who had already made a decision.

But here, Natsume Naoki convinced Asai on the grounds that her excessive caregiving would make her parents scold her.

But tonight, the maids are on strike.

As for the reason...

Natsume Naoki was very panicked. He had guessed a lot, but he didn't guess how Asai knew it, so he apologized and tested it.

It's probably not what Amamiya said on purpose. Even though she is a slutty little lolita, she still needs to save face.

"I heard a story before, saying that a long time ago, there were hunters in our area who went up to the mountains to hunt. They found many delicious mushrooms growing in the forest on Mount Teida, and called on the villagers to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms."

He gently held Asai's feet with his hands and wiped the water stains on them with a towel.

Thinking about Asai's hard-working and thrifty attitude in the past, taking care of herself and taking care of herself, Natsume Naoki felt that she deserved it even if he washed her feet, let alone wiping her feet.

It’s not considered a punishment at all!

"More and more villagers began to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms. People gradually discovered that the girl who followed the adults into the mountains harvested several times more than the others, so someone asked. The girl blushed and told her secret... In the forest

The mushrooms are actually very fragile and are usually hidden in the dead leaves on the ground. You should know this if you have been in the mountains, right?"

Natsume Naoki wiped Asai's feet, feeling the touch of the delicate skin and white insteps, while explaining matter-of-factly: "Falled leaves fall on the ground and accumulate as humus, which is very suitable for the growth of mushrooms. But mushrooms are always

They are very, very small. They have to absorb moisture after it rains before they grow up. When adults go to the mountains to pick mushrooms, they always accidentally step on the young mushrooms inside the dead leaves. If they step on them too hard, they will break.

Bacteria, naturally the harvest will be very small.”

"But the girl is different. She is very careful and gentle. After going into the mountains and finding those dark black dead leaves that are already moldy and hairy, she will take off her shoes and socks, step on them gently with her bare feet, and test them with her feet.

Try to look for the mushrooms inside so you don’t step on them.”

Asai frowned slightly.

Why haven’t I heard of such a story?

But when I think about it, it's similar to the fairy tales that Naoki's brother told when he was a child. Things like picking Ganoderma lucidum can only be regarded as made up by his rich imagination.

"Then what?" The story was quite attractive, so Asai asked: "The mushrooms we found were all thin and small, so they can't be sold for much."

"That's the key." Natsume Naoki said sternly: "Mushrooms will only grow up after it rains. It's impossible for a girl to wait in the forest until it rains. After it rains, mushrooms will grow up and crawl into the forest."

Make piles of black dead leaves so that everyone in the village can pick them."

"So the girl has her own way. She will carry a pot of water with her. Every time she finds a mushroom with her little feet, she will fix the mushroom with her toes, and then gently pour the water in the pot onto the clamped mushroom.

Moisturized by the girl's water, these mushrooms will grow up in a short period of time, just like tasting nectar from heaven. The girl also has a technique to measure the quality of mushrooms, which is to use the width between the toes to measure it.

If it doesn’t live, it’s ripe and ready to be picked.”

"Later, after the girl dedicated this method to everyone, every household would let their daughters go into the mountains to pick mushrooms. In order to commemorate the girl, everyone named the kettles that the girls carried when they went into the mountains after the 'sister' in her name.

Sister's juice'."

"?"

Asai finally heard what the problem was.

She narrowed her eyes, "Can you now joke with me like this without changing your expression?"

Natsume Naoki was stunned: "What a joke? It's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask my mother tomorrow."

"It means that all the girls in your village have to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms, right?"

"It happened a long, long time ago. It can be classified as a legend of mountains and rivers!"

"Haha, I didn't understand one thing about the story you just told." Asai smiled, and suddenly thought of a good time, "Does the little girl picking mushrooms use her feet to identify mushrooms like this?"

Immediately afterwards, Natsume Naoki's expression changed instantly.

Just like a cat whose tail was stepped on, it turned into the color of liver.

"It hurts, it hurts...it's wrong, wrong!"

"What's wrong?" Asai crossed her legs, but the supporting foot was not on the ground. She squinted her eyes and sneered like a queen: "If you said it was wrong, I will try to see where the flexibility limit of the bacteria is."

"Don't!" Natsume Naoki shook his head repeatedly when he heard this. When the idea of ​​testing the hardness of the cup came up in his mind, he never thought that it would be intact... and someone would die!

"The mistake is that I shouldn't be joking with you. In fact, there is no such story. I made it up."

"It seems that some people don't know why they are sitting here."

"It hurts, it hurts, it's wrong, I said it, I said it." Natsume Naoki said with shame, "I followed in Brother Cheng's footsteps, and I deserve to die."

Seeing that he at least realized his mistake and was quite sincere, Asai sighed and planned to let him go.

In fact, I didn't intend to go too far, who would be the man I love after all?

It's just a little punishment for his philandering and cheating.

But the psychological grudge would probably take a few days before he would be allowed to go to bed.

But while Asai was thinking, she suddenly noticed that her knees were rising at an extremely slow speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

After being stunned for a moment, she understood.

It's just like stepping on an inflated skin bag, and then the skin bag slowly expands, causing the person to rise higher.

She glanced at Naoki Natsume, who had a slightly rosy complexion, looking a little disgusted and serious.

"Are you a pervert?"
