Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Fungus (2)
"Hehe, old watch, what you said is too complicated. Even I was confused. Matsutake mushroom's requirements for the origin are not as strict as you said, and we have production in central and northeastern Yunnan. The price of matsutake mushrooms has only risen in recent years, just like you said that the small RB came to buy it before it was fried, and there is a demand before it is supplied.
When I first started the mushroom business, I bought fresh matsutake mushrooms. In 91, matsutake mushrooms began to become valuable, and 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, you're not wrong, the matsutake mushroom you said in 91 was sold for 500 yuan a kilogram?" Su Min was stunned, now, her salary in 1996 was not 500 yuan. What's more, she hasn't even seen matsutake mushrooms until now, and she thinks that the most expensive mushroom is 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, sometimes a dozen matsutake mushrooms in a fixed place every once in a while. When you're lucky, you can sell it for one or two thousand yuan a day. Later, I found out that those who bought matsutake mushrooms were sent to Spring City and sold to those who poured matsutake 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. Later, he slowly ran to the mountains to receive and sell goods.
Hehe, in the early years, mushrooms were not valuable, and matsutake mushrooms were not worth much. It turns out that some people in our village don't pick up matsutake mushrooms and eat them for stir-frying, they are 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 with a smile.
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." Mushrooms consume fuel, and if you don't have enough oil, you are asking for trouble. ”
Su Min listened in a fog, and asked in a daze: "What does it have to do with eating mushrooms and being poor, and poor people don't eat 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 going to have to study hard. I heard an old Chinese medicine doctor say it. In the past, why did so many people eat fungus and get poisoned, and they still die at every turn, and even the tragedy of the whole family dying happens from time to time?"
"Why? There are also people who have died of poisoning by eating mushrooms. Su Min looked at her cousin and asked.
"Nowadays, there are many fewer deaths from poisoning, and most of them are food poisoning caused by eating highly toxic bacteria that cannot be eaten at all. Unlike before, most families are not wealthy, and their daily life is to live with clear soup and little 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 you have enough oil and water now, don't think that you can eat the mushrooms every day if they are delicious, eat the mushrooms for a few days in a row, and you will have no strength to walk, and you can't lift your legs and feet. ”
"Hehehe, so, I bought so many mushrooms today, I didn't dare to take them all home, because I was afraid that I couldn't help but want to eat them and eat more when I looked at them, and it hurt my body. Qi Jingtao explained self-deprecatingly.
Zhang Jinglei said in an old-fashioned manner: "Eat everything to pay attention to a degree, and stop in moderation." Although the fungus is good, it is not good to eat too much, and the object 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 understand some methods of fungus classification." There are more than 20 kinds of mushroom varieties that we can receive 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. ”
