Chapter 115: What About the Fungus (Part II)
"Hehe, old watch, what you said is too complicated. Even I was confused and confused. I really don't know where you found the information, it's in the clouds. In fact, the requirements for the origin of matsutake mushrooms are not as strict as you said, and we have matsutake mushrooms produced in central Yunnan and northeast Yunnan. The price of matsutake mushrooms has only risen in recent years, just like you said that the small RB came to buy a large number of fresh matsutake mushrooms before they were fried, and there is a demand for it.
When I first started running the wild mushroom business, I specialized in buying fresh matsutake mushrooms. In 91, matsutake mushrooms began to suddenly become valuable, I picked fresh matsutake mushrooms in the mountains, and I didn't need to go down the mountain to sell them, and there were people in the mountains to buy them, more than 500 yuan per kilogram. ”
"What? Stone, are you right, the matsutake mushroom you said in 91 was sold for 500 yuan a kilogram?" Su Min was stunned, now, it was 1996, and her monthly salary was less than 500 yuan. They worked hard for a month, and their salaries, bonuses, and benefits were all added up, but they couldn't afford to buy a kilogram of matsutake mushrooms? Her salary income was already at the upper middle level in the industrial enterprises in central Yunnan, and it was not worth a kilogram of matsutake mushrooms. What's more, she hadn't even seen what matsutake mushrooms looked like, and she thought that the most expensive mushroom was spicy mushrooms.
"Hehe, cousin-in-law, I know of a few places where matsutake mushrooms are found in the mountains to the west of us. At that time, I picked up a few matsutake mushrooms in a fixed place every once in a while, sometimes dozens of them. When you're lucky, you can sell it for one or two thousand yuan a day. Later, I found out that those who came to the mountains to buy matsutake mushrooms were sent to Spring City and sold to those who poured matsutake mushrooms to Little RB. In Spring City, a kilogram of matsutake mushrooms can be sold for more than 900 yuan a kilogram. So, I went to Spring City to sell it myself. After running a few times, the road is familiar, so I slowly run to the mountains to receive and sell goods.
Hehe, in the early years, mushrooms were not valuable, and matsutake mushrooms were not worth much. In the past, some people in our village picked up matsutake mushrooms and didn't fry them, they were all used to make wine, and drinking a few cups can make people have nosebleeds. Hehe, old watch, do you want to make a bottle for you?" Shi Lei said happily and smiled, squeezing his eyebrows at Qi Jingtao.
Qi Jingtao glanced at Su Min, who was unclear, and diverted the topic, "Hehe, it turns out that wild mushrooms are not valuable, and it's not because people are poor." Wild mushrooms are delicious and delicious, but when they consume fuel, there is not enough oil and water, and eating wild mushrooms is asking for trouble. ”
Su Min listened to the clouds in a fog, and asked in a daze: "What does eating wild mushrooms have to do with being poor, poor people don't eat wild mushrooms?
Zhang Jinglei came to Shi Lei's office at some point, and laughed when she heard Su Min's words: "Hahaha...... Xiao Min. You're really going to have to study hard. If you don't have enough oil and water, you really can't eat wild mushrooms often, especially those wild miscellaneous mushrooms. I heard an old Chinese medicine doctor say it. In the past, why did so many people eat mushrooms and get poisoned, and they still eat dead people at every turn, and even the tragedy of the whole family dying happened from time to time?"
"Why? There are also people who have died of poisoning by eating wild mushrooms now, and there were no reports of this that year?" Su Min asked, looking at his cousin.
"Nowadays, there are many fewer deaths from poisoning by eating wild mushrooms than before, and most of them are due to food poisoning caused by eating highly toxic mushrooms that cannot be eaten at all. Unlike in the past, when poisoning incidents of eating wild mushrooms occurred frequently, most people were not wealthy, and their daily life was to deal with the life of clear soup and little water, where is there any oil and water. Hehe, do you still have an impression, even you, your parents are teachers, and you can't eat meat three times a week when you were a child. In order to increase your nutrition, your grandmother will buy a few eggs and make you a stewed egg a day. Zhang Jinglei kept shaking her head as she spoke.
When the elders talked about it when she was a child, Su Min looked at Qi Jingtao and Shi Lei embarrassedly, bowed her head and said nothing. Qi Jingtao smiled, looked at Zhang Jinglei who came into Shi Lei's office and asked, "Aunt Zhang, what is the opinion of that old Chinese medicine doctor?"
"Hehe, the old Chinese medicine doctor said: Because the fungus is weak, it is broken and angry. Even if there is enough oil and water now, don't think that wild mushrooms are delicious and you can eat them every day, eat mushrooms for a few days in a row, you will have no strength to walk, and you can't lift your legs and feet. ”
"Hehehe, so, I bought so many wild mushrooms today, I didn't dare to take them all home. I'm afraid that when I look at those wild mushrooms, I can't help but want to eat them, eat more, and hurt my body. Qi Jingtao himself also has the experience of eating wild mushrooms continuously, and at that time he thought that eating wild mushrooms was poisoned, but there was a theoretical basis, and Chinese medicine really deserves to be a discipline that studies herbs, and has already studied it thoroughly.
Zhang Jinglei said in an old-fashioned manner: "Eat everything to pay attention to a degree, and stop in moderation." Although wild mushrooms are good, it is not good to eat too much, and things must be reversed. ”
Qi Jingtao looked at Su Min and said with a smile: "Amin, you have already come to the company, and you should also know some methods of sorting wild mushrooms." There are more than 20 kinds of wild mushroom varieties that we can purchase in this area of central Yunnan, such as chicken fir, porcini mushroom, spicy mushroom, green head mushroom, sheep liver mushroom, milk pulp mushroom, aeruginosa, chanterelle mushroom, etc.
The vast majority of fungi have two parts: a stem and a cap, and they are divided into two types: thick and thin. The incense spray head, hemp chestnut incense, sheep liver mushrooms and black wooden bowls are thick mushrooms, and the mushroom caps are thick, which means that their 'hats' are particularly thick, and there is a thick lining inside the hats, like a thick hat. Thick mushrooms are suitable for stir-frying, stir-fried with red pepper and garlic, the taste is strong and fragrant, so it is also called fried mushrooms.
Chicken fir, green head fungus, milk pulp fungus, aeruginosa, September yellow and so on belong to thin mushrooms, there is no lining in the mushroom cap, there is no lining, the mushroom cap is relatively thin, suitable for boiling soup to drink, boiling soup tastes sweet, so it is also called boiling soup fungus. Although the chicken fir is a thin mushroom, it is delicious whether it is stir-fried red pepper or boiled soup. ”
"I don't have to go up the mountain to pick up mushrooms, why do I know so much? There are so many types, people know them all!" Su Min quickly rolled her eyes at Qi Jingtao's words in the insider's words, and began to play lazy by giving full play to her advantages as a little woman.
"Hehehe, as a department manager for a farmer's trading company. These still need to be learned. With such complex financial knowledge, you can be proficient enough to become a certified public accountant, and you can't even distinguish the fungi acquired in the company. Be careful of the mushroom dealers in the sky, I don't know how to die after eating toadstools, I can be wronged at that time!" Qi Jingtao said as he looked at the financial manager who was playing tricks.
Su Min looked at him and smiled and said, "Okay, you can tell me about the common sense of mushrooms carefully, and I will also study it well." ”
Shi Lei smiled and said: "Cousin-in-law, you may not know if you haven't been to those mountain villages, during the mushroom unearthing season, every village and village collects and sells mushrooms.
Let's talk about the chicken fir that you love to eat in the city, the chicken fir mushroom is the fattest in midsummer, it is the best in the wild edible mushroom, the red pepper stir-fried chicken fir is very fragrant, the taste, tsk, don't say it, it's hungry to kill you.
Tell you, the way the chicken fir fungus grows is very peculiar, where it grows, there is often a hole in the ground, there is a nest of yellow ants in the hole, there are a large pile of chicken fir rice, the beehive is generally loose, the appearance and color are like a cake of loose dry cow dung, it is estimated that the yellow ants are to move cow dung and humus and other things into the hole, mixed into this kind of nutrient soil for the chicken fir to absorb nutrients - chicken fir rice.
Pry chicken fir is very particular, can not use iron, but also can not use a hoe to dig, it is said that once with iron to excavate, it destroys the earth, this chicken fir nest will never come out of the chicken fir again. I estimate that with hoes, planing rods and other sharp tools, digging too deep, the rhizomes of the chicken fir are all dug out, without the mycelium of the fungus, the yellow ant no matter how capable it is, it will not be able to cultivate the chicken fir.
If you find that the chicken fir arches out of the ground, or has arched the ground soil, and the soil is loose or cracked, it is generally a nearby branch, pry the soil with a branch, and carefully pull out the chicken fir after digging the soil. In this way, it will not cut off the fatty and edible chicken fir taproot, and will not pull out the black and slender chicken fir root deep in the soil, and will not break the chicken fir hole. As soon as the chicken fir hole is broken, the rain bets, and the yellow ants will die or move, and this chicken fir hole will be abandoned, and there will be no chicken fir again. ”
"Really, this chicken fir fungus is really amazing, have you ever observed the appearance of the chicken fir hole?" Su Min's interest was completely aroused by a few of them.
