Cordyceps is thus sought after by many well-off families. Strong market demand has caused prices to soar every year. High-quality cordyceps can sell for more than 100,000 yuan ($14,980) per pound.
The setting sun stretches out the shadows on their way back, and the herdsmen return to their tents with the cordyceps they have dug up. The solar panels standing beside the tent lit up the valley, and the raindrops hit the tent, like a peaceful nocturne.
