A drafty, dilapidated house and two children crying out to be fed—yet Shen Qiao refuses to believe that life has to remain this way! With her skilled hands and keen ability to identify mushrooms and medicinal herbs, she takes her children into the mountains in search of treasures. One basket of bamboo fungi earns her their first income, opening the door to an entirely different rural life. She repairs the house, stocks up on food, sends the children to school, and even builds a greenhouse behind the house to cultivate fresh mushrooms all year round. As her mushroom business flourishes, restaurants and trading companies in town come knocking. The village women and elderly also learn her skills and earn a living. The once-overlooked little mountain village gradually becomes a renowned mushroom-growing haven far and wide.
