The old girl took it and smelled it: "It's not fragrant at all, but it has a strange smell." And it's weird, how can you see that there are pine needles in it?"

Li Xin smiled: "You can't compare it with the fragrance of jasmine and roses, let alone with the fragrance of your cosmetics, this is the taste of food, more accurately this is the taste of the forest." When it's fried and served to you, you'll know how delicious it is. Most of these fungi grow under pine trees, and they emerge from the ground full of pine needles, and it is normal to contain the pine needles that fall on the ground in its fungus during the growth process. Most of the dried mushrooms sold on the street also look like this, and there are not only pine needles, but also sand and other small leaves in the fungus, and it is very time-consuming to clean this kind of fungus. ”

The old girl said, "Then you fry it for us at noon." ”

Li Xin said: "This is too little, only half a fist-sized piece, I am afraid that the bottom of the bowl is not tightly covered when it is cleaned up, and it is not easy to fry." Besides, this thing is difficult to clean up, and it is necessary to have green peppers and garlic to fry this mushroom, so that it is delicious when fried. Otherwise, let's continue to look for it, if your luck is really good today, you can find a lot, then go back to the house and I'll fry it for you to eat, if it's only a little bit, we'll still fry pimp mushrooms at noon. As for this dried mushroom, when we go back to the city, find a restaurant, and I'll order this dried mushroom, and give them the small piece we found to fry it for you to eat, what do you think?"

The girls said happily, "Okay, let's do it, let's look again, maybe we can find more." ”

Jiang Xiaolan said with a smile: "Yes, go back to the city in the evening and invite us to eat wild mushrooms, don't forget to order a fried grasshopper, we are still waiting to look at our glasses and eat grasshoppers, hehe." ”

Little Glasses said, "Lan Lan, did the two of you collude to show my appearance?"

Jiang Xiaolan said: "Oh, it's okay, you can eat one and see, if you dare to eat, we will eat too." ”

Little Glasses said, "So you haven't eaten it yet?" I thought Li Xin had taken you to eat. ”

Jiang Xiaolan said: "What are I going to eat that thing for? But the dried mushrooms are really delicious, I don't believe that you eat them at night, this thing is the only place in the country." ”

The old girl leaned over and asked, "Lan Lan, what does the dried mushroom taste like?"

Jiang Xiaolan said: "It's probably the smell you smelled just now." ”

The old girl said, "That shouldn't be delicious." ”

Jiang Xiaolan said: "That's different, the taste of fried peppers and garlic is beautiful, with that thing, you have to eat two more bowls of rice." ”

Li Xin turned around as he walked up the hill and said to the girls who followed him: "You all think that wild mushrooms should be like a small umbrella, right? But now that you have seen it, the best dried mushroom completely subverts the concept in your mind, and it does not look like a wild mushroom in the ordinary sense at all, neither like an umbrella nor like Ganoderma lucidum, it looks strange." If you want to say it's like coral in the sea, if you want it to look like rock, it's hard to describe what it looks like, right?"

A couple of girls said, "Really." ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "This goes back to the topic we discussed last night, even the earth creatures will have such a big difference in shape, not to mention the shape and living environment of alien creatures? It is possible that aliens are like this, neither like stones nor leaves, strange appearances, but they are ten thousand times smarter than humans." It is possible for them to stay quietly among us earthlings, looking at us as we look at ants, and we are completely unaware of their presence. When they try to clean us up, it's as easy as if we crush an ant with a twig, and we can't fight back, right?"

Jiang Xiaolan complained: "You're here again! In the wilderness, in this kind of place, you talk about these strange monsters to scare us!"

The little biscuits and the others looked at the dense woods around them, listening to the rustling sound coming from the woods after the mountain breeze blew, and they were really worried that as Li Xin said, there would be something unknown in the woods, and they also said with palpitations: "That's it, don't say it anymore, we won't leave if we say it again!"

Li Xin laughed when she heard this: "Okay, okay, I won't say it, look at the guts of a few of you are the same size as sesame seeds, what are you afraid of in this sunny day?"

The old girl said to Jiang Xiaolan: "Lan Lan, I found out that Li Xin is bad, he always makes up these ghost stories to scare people, and you don't care about him." Did he scare you like that when he took you out camping?"

Jiang Xiaolan said: "He dares!"

Little glasses said: "Li Xin, if you scare us again, we won't go out with you!"

Little Cookie also said: "That is, if you scare us again, you have to be careful, Lan Lan is with us all day, what we will say about you in front of her, this is very important." ”

Li Xin smiled: "I didn't scare you, I discussed the problem with you." You're so powerful, now you're using this Shang Fang sword to scare me. ”

Jiang Xiaolan said: "In the wilderness, don't talk about this kind of topic anymore!"

Li Xin said helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it." ”

Little Glasses said: "Li Xin, I found out why you always think about things in the worst way? Always thinking that aliens are 10,000 times smarter than us, and we can't help them." Why don't you think about what if we're so much smarter than the aliens? ”

Li Xin explained: "Perhaps, everyone thinks about problems in different ways, but I am always used to thinking about danger in times of peace. You think, there are always good and bad sides to things, the good aspects are what we can deal with, and the bad aspects are things that we can't deal with. If we prepare for the worst-case scenario, then we won't have to worry about it, right?"

After a while, Li Xin suddenly remembered something, and he turned back to the little biscuit regretfully and said, "It's a pity, I forgot to make a mark in the place where I picked up the dried mushrooms just now!"

The little cookie said, "What do you do with a mark?"

Li Xin said: "It's a fungus nest, and there are strains of dry bacteria in the soil, and if you remember that place, you can still find dry bacteria there next year." ”

Jiang Xiaolan looked at the dense woods around her and said, "Forget it, you've come out so far, even if you go back now, you may not be able to find the place just now, let alone if you come back next year, it will be even more difficult to find it at that time." Besides, what can you do?"

Li Xin said: "That is, you can put a stone or something next to it, and make too obvious marks, and others will see it." ”

Jiang Xiaolan asked, "Biscuits, do you remember that place just now?" Why don't you go back with Li Xin and make a mark to see if we can find this place when we come next year?"

The little biscuit said in embarrassment: "I guess it's enough, it's by a small tree, there is no special marking, and I don't know if I can find that place when I go back now." ”

Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Then forget it, I guess I won't find it." ”

The old girl suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, it turns out that the reason why those people who go up to the mountain to pick up fungi can pick up more fungi than we can do is because they are familiar with the terrain and know where there are fungi nests and where they will grow fungi, right?

Li Xin said: "Yes, that's the truth. If you want to grow fungi, I think there must be at least two conditions, the first condition is to have a fungus, and the second condition is that the fungus must be located in a place where the soil, temperature, and climate are suitable, so that the fungus can grow. Different fungi need different environments, and where dry mushrooms can grow, even if you put the strains of other fungi in this place, it may not be able to grow. ”

Little Glasses nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense." ”

At noon, the group came down from the mountain with the morning's harvest and returned to the tent.

Li Xin said: "Now that I'm ready to cook, you guys go and wash out these pimplats and cabbage, and I'll fry them for you later." ”

Jiang Xiaolan asked, "You didn't bring oil or seasoning, how can you fry it?"

Li Xin said: "I have already thought about it, isn't there a lot of oil in canned luncheon meat? I just use the oil in the canned luncheon meat and add a little luncheon meat, and use chili sauce as a seasoning, and it should be delicious to stir-fry." ”

The old girl looked at the pimplature in the plastic bag and asked, "How should I get this?"

Li Xin grabbed one and showed her: "It's very simple, pinch off the part of the soil under each fungus stem, and then put it in the water, clean up the sediment and leaves on each fungus, and wash it with water a few times." ”

As Li Xin instructed, several girls took mushrooms, cabbage and pots for washing vegetables and went to the sink to wash vegetables.

When Li Xin finished the meal and brought it to the table, several girls did not move their chopsticks.

Li Xin beckoned them and said, "There is one more dish at noon today than last night, come and taste it, this is the fruit of your labor this morning, see how it tastes?"

Jiang Xiaolan asked uneasily, "Are you sure this can really be eaten and won't be poisoned?"

Li Xin then understood what they were worried about, and he said disapprerovingly: "Oh, it turns out that you don't use chopsticks, are you worried about being poisoned after eating?"

Several girls smiled and didn't speak.

Li Xin first put a pair of chopsticks in his mouth to taste it, and said, "Well, it tastes good, it's still the same taste." ”

Seeing that a few girls still only ate other dishes and did not eat this freshly fried pimp mushroom, he said: "That's right, many wild mushrooms are poisonous, and you should be cautious when eating them! This matter is very important, and it is not an exaggeration to say it three times! Even if some edible wild mushrooms are not cooked, if they are not fried thoroughly, they will be poisoned if they are eaten." But today, you don't need to worry so much about this pimpfish, I have eaten this thing countless times since I was a child, and I went up the mountain to pick it up and cook it seven or eight times, I can't be mistaken, and I fried it over high heat just now, no problem. ”

Jiang Xiaolan said, "Really?"

Li Xin said while eating: "I've eaten so much, what are you worried about? If you don't eat again, I'll finish eating it all." ”

Jiang Xiaolan listened, and put a little bit of it in her mouth with chopsticks to taste: "Well, it tastes good, it's quite chewy, no wonder it's called pimp fungus." ”
