Chapter 224: Tree Tongue
This is the voice of Zhang Dewang's neighbor.
Zhang Dewang's wife went out with a bowl to take a look, and responded: "Uncle Qiufang, Dewang is not at home, is there anything wrong?"
"Oh, your uncle called and said that he saw a wild boar fall to his death by the water stream, and he couldn't move it, so let Dewang call a few people to help carry it back, and I will go too." The neighbor said.
It's almost the New Year, and the village is basically idle except for busy New Year's goods. Rural people can't stay idle, thinking about going to the mountains to pick up some mushrooms or something, and come back, and there are vegetables to eat after drying.
They had breakfast early, and then went out with the basket on their backs, but when they came to the side of the back hill, they saw a running wild boar in the distance, and they did not know what they were chasing, and they ran too fast to hold their feet, and rushed to the bottom of the mountain stream at once.
The mountain stream was a stone stream, and the stones on the surface were washed away by the water, and they were covered with moss, and they could not stand at all.
When the wild boar fell, it rolled down several times in a row, and it couldn't move—if it fell down at such a high place, it fell on a hard stone, and only if it survived could there be a ghost.
No matter how thick the armor of the second senior brother is, he will not survive if he falls like this.
Well, there's wild boar to eat. I opened another big meat dish a year ago.
God doesn't have many opportunities to enjoy food like this.
Many people will say that wild boar meat is not delicious, it is good and ugly, and it is much worse than domestic pigs. But there are also people who say that wild boar is delicious and tight.
This is actually related to the skill of the cook, and if it is handled well, it will be delicious.
Besides, only the rich will "have meat and be hairy", and the poor will eat everything.
If it was a small thing of dozens of catties, the person who saw it would definitely carry it back to eat, but this pig was too big, and the mountain road was not easy to walk, and it was estimated that it would take at least five or six male laborers to get it back, so Zhang Dewang's uncle called over.
Where the wild boar fell, there was not even a road, the uphill and downhill slopes were steep, and all of them had to be carried by manpower, and there was no other way.
In order to prevent the prey from being harmed by other carnivers, the man called and called for help, and then walked all the way to the wild boar to protect the food first.
When Zhang Dewang's wife heard this, her eyes narrowed with joy, and she said happily: "In this way, then I'll let the children call him, and he can run very fast." ”
The two children were eating, and they had already heard it, so they didn't need to say it again, they just took a bun and ran out.
When you think of having meat to eat, you can't run away!
The big ones run, the small ones can't catch up, and they also run behind behind.
So the child's mother chased after the girl behind and shouted: "Qinqin, don't go with your brother, you go and call grandpa, let grandpa eat quickly and go to the sheep farm to pick up your father's class." ”
Zhang Dewang and his brothers have separated, and Zhang Yunxi lives alone.
Zhang Dewang went to the sheep farm last night to keep vigil, and now if he wants to call him away, he must let Zhang Yunxi take over his shift, so that there will be no one in the sheep farm.
The two children moved very fast, and they ran away all of a sudden, and the adults here hadn't turned around yet.
Zhou Heng held the bowl and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, there are a lot of us, will we help in a while?"
There are not many young people in the village, except for those like Zhang Dewang who came back early, and many of them did not arrive home until after the 28th of the lunar month, and almost rushed back for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
There are also people who don't come back for the New Year at all.
So there are really not many young people - from such a distance, carrying a dead wild boar back, it is not for fun, there is still a need for young laborers like Zhou Heng and them.
There are a lot of them, Zhou Heng, Hu Jinhua, Wang Caijun, these are three people, plus Zhang Dewang, his uncle, plus the neighbors, the manpower is almost the same.
Zhang Dewang's wife was a little embarrassed, seeing that Boss Zhou and his friends were so young, how could they let him do this dirty work.
Before Zhou Heng could speak, Hu Jinhua had already interjected: "Sister-in-law, we are young and have stamina, it's okay, let's go together." ”
He also wanted to go to the mountains to have fun. Besides, I helped carry the pig, and I ate meat after a while, so I didn't have any psychological pressure to eat.
He was quite modest, not saying that he was young and strong, only that he had stamina—he had the physical strength to carry two bags of fertilizer before.
Of course, Wang Caijun has nothing to say, he came all the way to see more knowledge, which is indispensable for him.
Although maybe he doesn't really have much strength.
A few people ate breakfast, cleaned up a little, brought the rope and waited for it to leave, Zhou Heng had a breakfast in hand, and met Zhang Dewang after a while, and gave it to him to eat on the way.
It was supposed to be given to him on the sheep farm.
Zhou Heng saw that Jiang Xiaoxuan was also holding a camera, and he was excited to follow, so he said: "It's far away, or you two don't go, just play here, wait for us to carry it back, wait for the meat to eat at night." ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan cocked her chin and "snorted", completely vetoing him.
Not only her, but Li Li also went with her.
Well, if you want to go, go for it.
Then she asked Zhang Dewang's wife to get a bag and a small shovel, thinking that if she came across something delicious for a while, there would be a bag to hold.
Because she heard Jiang Xiaoxuan say that last time in the woods, she picked a few bushes of wild oyster mushrooms, which were so fresh!
So, she also wanted to try her luck today.
When ready, a group of people set off.
Zhou Heng was actually very happy, he was on TV yesterday, he had to celebrate, relax, and just go to the mountains to have fun.
The big yellow dog also happily followed. For it, it is the same everywhere in the world, as long as it follows Zhou Heng.
And it walks up the mountain, these people may not be able to catch up with it, it still has plenty of time to run and play, chase sparrows or something.
A few people walked for a while and met Zhang Dewang and his son, Zhou Heng handed him breakfast, and then walked to the mountain stream while eating.
There is no road in the mountains, and it is very difficult to walk - in fact, I have long seen the place where the wild boar fell, but I have to go down the road, and I have to take a lot of detours before I go down there.
Several people pointed around the wild boar, all smiling, this pig is more than 300 catties visually, there is a lot of meat!
This kind of good thing can't happen once in a few years.
When the pig fell, it shed a large pool of blood, and it is estimated that the blood was almost gone.
Everyone discussed how to carry it easier, because the road is not close, and it will be too laborious to carry it back all the time, and if you don't get better.
Finally, with the rope they brought, they turned the boar over and tied it with all fours facing the sky, and then tied the rope to two thick sticks.
Two thick sticks, two people stand at one end, four people take shifts, and whoever is tired will replace it and rest and carry it home.
On a cold day, I sweated.
If you encounter a flat place, you can use a board car to pull it, but most of the time it is a steep slope, and it is not easy to even carry it, let alone a board car.
After walking for a while, a few people sat down to rest, to take a little rest. It is not easy to carry a pig of more than 300 catties like this.
At this moment, he could vaguely hear a sound in the distance, and Zhou Heng couldn't help but look in that direction.
This is a real mountain, and sometimes there is not a single house on several mountains, and at this time you can still hear the voice of a person?
Zhang Dewang's neighbor is at home all the year round, and when he saw Zhou Hengmian having doubts, he explained: "That is the She village, and some people often go to the mountains to do things, and they hear singing. They love to sing. ”
The mountains are next to each other, and the song is likely to be an echo.
Zhou Heng nodded, he had heard before that they were in the same school as the village, and they all went to school together.
Seeing these endless mountains, and there is a village living in them, it is indeed a little inconvenient for them.
"Have they lived here for generations?" Zhou Heng asked.
"That's not, it's moved over, but it's been a few years, it seems that the Song Dynasty moved over, hundreds of years. ”
The Song Dynasty moved here, and it can actually be called indigenous.
was chatting casually, and Jiang Xiaoxuan shouted to him a little away: "Eh, Zhou Heng, do you think you can eat this?"
She and Li Li found something strange, something that looked like a mushroom on the trunk of a tree, but it had a strange appearance, no handle, and it was not known what it was.
And there are a lot of them on this tree, there are more than a dozen, and they are almost the size of her palm.
So, she didn't understand and asked, asking Zhou Heng if she could eat this.
There are so many things in nature that I have never seen before, and it is really awe-inspiring.
Zhou Heng glanced at it and said with a smile: "This is the tree tongue, also called the tree tongue Ganoderma lucidum, you are still very good at finding things." ”
At this time, Jiang Xiaoxuan is shooting all kinds of things.
In fact, there are many kinds of tree tongues, and the shapes are also strange, and some of them look exactly the same as Ganoderma lucidum, so they are also called "tree tongue Ganoderma lucidum", but there is no long handle like Ganoderma lucidum.
Some are exaggerated to look like a tumor on a tree, while others are layered on top of each other, covering half of the tree's surface.
And this one is more delicate, just sticking out of the trunk of the tree, just like the tongue, so it is very appropriate to call it "tree tongue".
Zhou Heng walked over, looked at the tree, and said, "This is edible." But because the tree is not poisonous, I said it could be eaten. ”
His later words were very serious and emphasized.
Jiang Xiaoxuan asked him curiously, "Then are some trees poisonous?"
Zhou Heng replied: "Of course." Trees such as phoenix trees, mango trees, pomegranate trees, loquat trees, evergreens, croton trees, oak trees, sumac trees, etc., are poisonous and should never be eaten. ”
In addition to these poisonous, most of the tree tongue can be eaten, although it is not as effective as Ganoderma lucidum, but the tree tongue also has a certain medicinal effect, mainly used for pharyngitis, esophageal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer also has a certain health care effect.
However, some of them are very large, and they are the size of a sieve, and the kind has long been wooden, so it must not be edible—isn't that nonsense, and the radish can't be eaten when it's old.
But like that kind of old tree tongue, people will cut it down and take it back, when the mosquito coil is lit, the mosquito repellent is first-class, absolutely green, pollution-free and non-toxic.
Zhang Dewang also walked over, looked at the knots on the tree, and said with a smile: "This can be eaten, stew the pig's heart for a while, you can also taste it." ”
Hu Jinhua and Wang Caijun also came over to see, recognize things, and have a long insight.
