147 Morels to eat in two
"It's a pity. Glancing at the morel mushroom in her hand, Sasha said with some regret.
"What's wrong?" asked Liu Heming curiously.
"The living environment of morels is also a bit special, although it is not as harsh as truffles and has many restrictions. Sasha said with a smile after pulling the ends of her hair.
"Often, after a wildfire, these morels grow in large quantities and decrease in the following years. Now I don't know how many years the wildfires have been burning here, otherwise you can make some money. ”
"It's expensive in the U.S., too? I thought you didn't like to eat mushrooms like that. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"It's okay, fresh morels are about $16 a pound, and dried ones are even better, about $200 a pound, but it depends on the size of a single morel. Sasha nodded.
"Just like this one, it's very big, so it should be able to sell for a good price. If you're interested, you can come here early next year, as they tend to have higher yields in May and June, and it's a little late. ”
"In fact, the price used to be higher, but now there are companies in a large number of artificial cultivation, so the price will drop a little, but the price of wild morels is still okay. ”
Liu Heming frowned, and was somewhat frightened by the price of morels here. What Sasha said just now is the purchase price, and the profit margin here should really be not small.
And this thing is my own growth, and the forest on my side is not small, if you look for it carefully, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to find two or three thousand catties next year, which is also an income of more than 10,000 US dollars.
He also felt that he was a little outdated, and he didn't know that this morel mushroom could still be artificially cultivated. So the question is, if others can grow it, can they grow it themselves? Maybe they don't have their complete set of technology, but they have their own small lake. Thinking of this, his mind was much more lively.
Then, their gang of bears had a new task, picking morels.
Hearing this order, it was Alex who was the happiest, and the little one was full of energy, and the big eyes looked for it in the woods.
Not to mention, the woods here may be because no one has come, so although the most vigorous picking season has passed, there are really a lot of morels in it, and they are not small, and some of them are bigger than Alex's small hands.
Liu Heming kept an eye on it, and when he picked it, he dug it out directly with soil. He wants to see if he can cultivate it successfully, anyway, there is a greenhouse now, and he is idle when he is idle, so try it.
Sasha had noticed his actions and knew that the man had moved again. But she didn't say anything, Liu Heming had already refreshed her cognition many times, maybe this person might really be cultivated.
Originally, I came to play in the woods, but I accidentally found morels. The pockets were all empty, and the food in them made the bears so happy that it was all in their stomachs.
However, the volume of the pocket is still limited, and the morels are a little morel, so Liu Heming simply took off his coat and used it as a package.
In the morning, Liu Heming and the others picked as many as seven or eight catties. There are large and small, the largest one, Liu Heming estimated that it would have to be about half a catty, he had never seen such a big one before.
Picking mushrooms is fun, but the adults are nothing, but they are tired enough to choke the little guy Alex, and when they come back, they are all humped back by the bear. Don't look at the current Xiong Da has not really grown into a big bear, but the strength of the people is not small.
Liu Heming selected some morel mushrooms that were damaged when they were picked, and carefully cleaned them.
The morels are all honeycomb-shaped folds, and they have to be cleaned more carefully, not like tomatoes and cucumbers. Liu Heming washed it four times in a row before cleaning the dirt on these morels.
He hadn't eaten morels before and didn't know how to make them. However, he thinks morels are also a type of mushroom, and the best way to eat them should be stewed soups and stir-fried slices.
For him now, these are not difficult things. The big pot outside boiled bones, but there were only two, and eating meat was secondary, and the big bone broth was wanted.
Nowadays, most of the lunch and dinner are made in a large pot outside, and even Sasha likes this way of eating. Even if you eat steak, you will eat it outside after it is cooked in the kitchen.
The morel mushrooms were sliced, and Liu Heming cut some more pork belly, the kind with more lean meat and less fat. The oil in the small wok is hot, and the slices of meat are put into the pan to stir-fry, and the sound of the spoon and the pot clinking is quite rhythmic. Alex stayed by Liu Heming's side, holding a plate containing morel mushroom slices, waiting for Liu Heming's orders.
The big bone broth over there is almost done, and this matter will be left to Sasha to complete. Recently, Sasha has gradually replaced Alex in the kitchen.
"Alex, attention, put. Liu Heming said to his daughter.
When the little guy got the order, he poured the morel slices on the plate into the pot, and then his tight little face changed to a smile, which was too beautiful.
Liu Heming stir-fried quickly, and also played a small trick, picked up all the vegetables in the pot, soared into the air, and then fell steadily into the pot.
"Dad, and fire, fire. The little guy reminded earnestly from the side.
It's not that the fire is burning outside, it's that the little guy likes to see the fire tumbling in the pot. Then what else to say, the girl has commanded, and you have to do it.
A large plate of fried morels with pork belly, plus a large pot of morel mushroom soup, was placed on the table with the efforts of this family of three.
"Come, taste it, and see how it tastes. Liu Heming sandwiched a slice of morel mushrooms for his daughter.
"Well, it's delicious, meaty, it tastes good. The little guy said happily after eating.
"How about I try this soup again. Not to be outdone, Sasha on the side scooped a small spoonful of soup for her daughter.
The little guy drank the soup and gave Sasha two thumbs up.
Robin on the side looked at the family of three with a smile, and was very pleased. It seems that his strategy is still somewhat effective, and he often lives together, how can he not have feelings.
Liu Heming picked up a piece of morel mushrooms and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully.
Fresh, that's his first feeling, and then it's sweet. This sweetness is not the sweetness of eating honey, but the sweetness that comes out after it is too fresh.
People often say that it is fresh and sweet, and today's Liu Heming is the first time to truly experience it.
