Chapter 211: The Queen of Mushrooms, Morels!
Xia Xiaofei and the others didn't know if it was because of their habit of living on the island, so they actually gave up their original plan to stay for a while and go back to work, and continued to stay on the island, as if they were salted fish who had lost their career.
Ye Luo didn't mean to urge them to leave, after all, he was now used to the days when Xia Xiaofei and other women were around him, if Xia Xiaofei and the others went back to work, it would mean that they would be separated, and then there would be only one Scarlett left on the island, no, there was a little guy Alice.
However, Xia Xiaofei and other women had to go back because of a phone call from the new company that had been renovated.
Now they are still very young, and it is a good age to work hard for their careers, although they really want to be salted fish like Ye Luo.
It's a pity that the idea of living on the island with Ye Luo still can't compare to their aggressiveness in their respective careers.
In the end, in the mood of reluctance to give up each other, Xia Xiaofei and a group of people left the island step by step.
......
The carefree days pass the fastest, although Xia Xiaofei and his group have left, but there are many busy workers on the island, on the whole, life is relatively peaceful, at least it will not make people feel lonely or something.
Also, compared with the first few people, the island is now close to a hundred people, including Daxter's family and workers, which is quite lively.
Since Xia Xiaofei and other women came to live on the island, Ye Luo has less time to accompany her daughter, and now that Xia Xiaofei and they have gone back, Ye Luo thought of his 'snubbing' girl a few days ago, so he decided to take his daughter to the forest to have a look.
The forest has always been located on one side of the island, but Ye Luo almost always looks at it from a distance, and has no idea of approaching.
And the main reason why he wanted to see it this time was his curiosity about the forest, and the fact that the road that was repaired some time ago could also be used by cars.
In the past, even if he wanted to see it, he would have to give up because it was too far away, but now that the road is there and the car is there, he will naturally not let go of such thoughts.
Although the forest grows on the island, it is not inferior to the ones on land, but it gives people a spectacular feeling, and it is hard to imagine such a 'primeval' forest on an island.
To Ye Luo's surprise, Scarlett was also very interested in this visit.
Normal Scarlett is in the living room at home, either watching cartoons with her daughter, or reading books, basically only when it is time to cook, she will put down the work at hand, and when she finishes eating and cleaning up everything, she will continue to read.
To be honest, this is also what Ye Luo admires about her, anyway, if it is replaced by him, let alone reading, even if he sees those books, he will feel his head hurt.
He's not the stuff for reading at all!
Soon.
Ye Luo's family of three drove an electric car to the forest, accompanied by two little golden retrievers.
The two little golden retrievers also became more excited, and kept wandering around the leaves, running before and after.
They have mostly wandered around most of the island, and this is the first time they have visited the forest in their memory, and they are full of curiosity about the surroundings.
Looking at the lively and active two little golden retrievers, Ye Luo said with some emotion: "It's only been a long time, the last time I picked them up, they were all thin and small, and they almost died of illness, but they have grown so big in a blink of an eye." ”
"They develop quickly and are much stronger than the normal Golden Retriever. Scarlett touched the smaller golden retriever beside her
, said with a smile.
The two little golden retrievers have come out of the cub stage and entered the high-speed growth period, changing in size day by day.
But in the eyes of those who have watched the two of them grow up since childhood, they are still as cute as when they were children, probably because there are only two pets on the island, and no matter where they run, they will be taken care of by most of them.
Alice is also very happy, she has rarely come out to play with her parents all the time, and after coming here, with the addition of two mischievous golden retrievers, one person and two dogs can run quite far at once.
"Huh, why do the trees over here look like they've been burned by fire? Scarlett said in surprise after walking deep into the woods for a while.
"Maybe there was a forest fire here, and it seems that the burned area is very large. It's a pity for these trees, because the road is not easy to walk in the past, and it is too far, I haven't paid much attention to this side. Ye Luo looked at it for a while, and said a little helplessly.
Forest fires are not easy to prevent in the first place, not to mention that he basically doesn't come here, and he doesn't know what the situation is like here.
It's just that he knows in his heart that unless he deliberately set the fire, even if he has a fire, it will be extinguished quickly under the treatment of the system, and because the entire island is tied to the system, he naturally doesn't have to worry about what will go wrong.
Scarlett smiled: "These are already things, and we can't change them, but now that we have a road, it has become very convenient to come here, if you have time to come here more in the future, if you encounter any unexpected things, you can deal with it in time." ”
"Okay, no problem, I'll take it to heart. Ye Luo agreed without hesitation.
This can be regarded as a mutual understanding after they have been together for a long time.
Although he doesn't communicate with Scarlett as much on weekdays as he does at night, he also knows a lot about Scarlett's character.
He could see that Scarlett's usual behavior somewhat revealed that the family she was from was not ordinary, and she usually cared most about Alice, followed by reading.
Maybe it's because of her relationship as a single mother, so that in order to support the mother and daughter, she has to work hard to learn various life skills, basically spending most of her time on work, where is the extra time for her to read books?
Since living with Ye Luo, it may be a relationship where she no longer has to worry about life, and she has more free time every day, and she is naturally able to clean up her previous interests and hobbies.
The family continued to walk inside, and the trees here were burned even harder, and it seems that the wildfire here should have been very fierce at that time, and some of the trees were dead, but I don't know how they were extinguished later.
As she was walking forward, Scarlett suddenly ran to the side, squatted on the ground and said happily, "Wow, there really is." ”
"What did you find?" Ye Luo leaned over and squatted down, at this moment his nose smelled the fragrance that kept wafting from Scarlett's body, and he was also a little satisfied.
Sleeping with Scarlett every night, he naturally inevitably smells Scarlett's unique body fragrance, but that feeling is completely different from now, and it can't be expressed in words!
"Look, I'm lucky! This mushroom is delicious. ”
Scarlett dug out a mushroom from the ground, and said as if Alice was showing off with Ye Luo as usual: "I used to see it in the place where I used to work, and it was very expensive, and the boss gave me some to bring back to eat, it tasted good, since I left there, I haven't seen this mushroom again, I didn't expect it to be here, it's still wild, not artificially farmed!"
"I look at this one with some eyes
Cooked, I want to think about it...... I want to think about ......"
Ye Luo frowned and carefully identified it, then suddenly patted his head and said, "By the way, I know what this thing is, it's called morel." ”
"You know it, too?" asked Scarlett, curious.
Ye Luo nodded: "Well, it is called 'honeycomb mushroom' in a certain area of our Huaxia, because it has a lot of small nests on its umbrella cover, mainly because it has strict requirements for the growth environment, the constant will decrease with age, and the taste is delicious, so the price has always been high among similar mushrooms." ”
Morel mushroom is a rare edible mushroom species, named because of the uneven surface of the cap, which resembles a sheep's tripe.
Morel mushroom, also known as morel vegetable, mutton mushroom, morel mushroom, can be used for food accumulation qi stagnation, abdominal distention, phlegm and qi reversal asthma cough.
Morel mushrooms are also known as morel vegetables and sheep mushrooms. Morchella, also known as grass and bamboo, is a valuable edible and medicinal mushroom.
Morel mushrooms were discovered in 1818. Its structure is similar to that of the disc, the upper part is folded and reticulated, both like a beehive, but also like a sheep's tripe, hence the name, is a treasure among mushrooms, and has the reputation of "mushroom queen".
The price of morel mushrooms should be among the best among many mushrooms, and the main reason for the high price is that its growing conditions are very strict on the environment.
Morel mushrooms are produced in the most important two to three years after wildfires, so pickers in North America collect morels from wildfires. However, when the fire is brought under control, its growth in the same area decreases year after year.
"It's a pity ......"
Glancing at the morel mushroom in Scarlett's hand, Ye Luo said with some regret.
Scarlett asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"The living environment of morels is a bit special compared to similar mushrooms, although it is not as harsh as truffles and has many restrictions, it is generally difficult to rely on artificial cultivation, of course, if it is in China, there must be, but in Hawaii, there is obviously no one who can grow them. ”
Ye Luo sighed with emotion, and then explained: "It is often in the forest after the wildfire that these morels can be found growing in large quantities, but they will decrease year by year in the following years until they disappear. Because of the relationship between less and less, the price is moderate and high. ”
"Is this expensive in China? I thought it was only expensive in Hawaii. Scarlett said with a surprised smile.
"It's okay, I don't know how much fresh morels will cost, but I know that the price of dried mushrooms will be higher, but it also depends on the size of the morels, the bigger the size, the higher the price, which is similar to truffles. ”
Ye Luo nodded and explained: "In fact, the price was higher before, but now many companies are carrying out a large number of artificial cultivation, which will make the price drop a little, but the price of wild morels is still okay." ”
As he spoke, Ye Luo was suddenly stunned, others can grow it, can he do it himself?
Maybe I don't have their complete set of technology, but I have a system!
It is impossible for companies with complete sets of technology to breed wild morels, but it does not mean that it is impossible for them to have a system!
You know, the price gap between artificially cultivated and wild morels is so great that many people will sell artificially cultivated mushrooms as wild, mainly because the profit margins here make people unbearable temptation.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the price of morels in the [Super Mall], and then looked at the morels growing around, and his mind suddenly became a lot more lively......
