Chapter 44: Mushroom Picking

The mountain is high and the road is steep.

The road seen by the mobile phone camera is almost 60 or 70 degrees oblique, and on both sides of the road are terraced fields carved out by the simple older generation of mountain people, a few fields are planted with rice, and most of the fields are planted with vegetables......

"This is the north slope, and what you see now is probably opened up after the founding of New China. It took decades before and after......" Ye Chen said in the live broadcast room, very proud of his grandfather and his generation. This is the steepest slope of the mountain, not to mention the fact that it used to be cultivated by hand, even now it is not easy to cultivate it by machinery.

If you don't farm, you don't know the hardship, and if you don't dig the land, you don't know the value of food.

If you are a young man who is now strong and strong, when you come to the mountains, you have to reclaim an acre of square fields on the mountain, take off a layer of skin on your body, and turn your hands into calluses......

For the older generation, the land is their lifeblood. In order to have more land to grow crops, their efforts are unimaginable.

The mountain is very high, but there is no hole in the sky when you climb it.

In the west mountain of Qingshuigou, the trees have long been cut down. The summit of the hill is flat, about a few hundred meters in diameter to the edge of the forest to the west, with undulating hills, weeds and shrubs, and occasionally a few small tea plantations. The drop of these small hills is no more than twenty or thirty meters at most......

It takes about ten minutes to climb from Qingshuigou to the top of the mountain, so it is particularly steep and magnificent.

"Brother, I can't walk anymore, take a rest. Ye Xing panted and found a piece of grass to sit down: "The signal here shouldn't be bad, how many viewers are there in the live broadcast room." ”

"More than two thousand. Ye Chen didn't feel tired, he didn't breathe, and he still sat down.

It was sunset, and a few houses in Qingshui Village lit up cooking smoke, and white smoke like clouds drifted along the mountainside, forming a white silk line. In the distance, the sunset is red, and the very low sky, the clouds like fish scales, are dyed red by the sunset...... At the end of the sunset horizon, it seems to burn the sky, and it is breathtakingly beautiful.

Ye Chen lit the root, set up a triangular gimbal, and in the direction of the setting sun, took out a cigarette and handed it to Ye Xing, and lit it.

The live broadcast room was very quiet, and they were all attracted by the rare sunset beauty. There are only a few barrages, ask where this is?

The barrage of discord before disappeared without a trace.

"This is Mengshan. Are there local friends in Mengshan in the live broadcast room?" Ye Chen took out his mobile phone that was dedicated to watching the barrage and asked.

"I am from Nanya, and I often take the Mengya Provincial Road, and the scenery in that area is really good. ”

"Where the anchor is located, the mountain is so big, are there any wild boars?"

"Are there any giant pandas?"

"Lion?"

"Tiger?"

"Jaguar?"

"Polar Bear ......"

Penguin ......

The rhythm of the barrage was disrupted, and Ye Chen encountered such a situation for the first time: "That, I want to see polar bears go to the South Pole, and I want to see penguins go to the North Pole, I heard that there are a lot of jaguars in Africa...... Lions and tigers are friends, and there are many of them in the zoo. ”

"There were wild boars in the mountains before, but I haven't seen them for a long time. There are no giant pandas here, but there are red pandas, and it is difficult to see them. Well, quietly watch the sunset. Ye Chen said and lay down, quietly waiting for the sun to set.

As the sun set on the mountain, I felt the humidity in the air getting heavier.

Ye Chen was really reluctant to get up from the comfortable grass, and after a few minutes of grinding, he continued to set off.

There are big roads in the barren mountains.

A long time ago, a dirt road cleared out for the transportation of timber, leading in the direction of the entrance of the village. Now the road is rarely walked, and the weeds grow to the height of the thighs.

Weeds lay all the way.

"Will there be snakes here?" Ye Xing walked in front of Ye Chen, a little worried.

"You go slower. "The signal in the mountains was ok, mainly not going deep into the woods. There are also a few places where the signal is not very good, but when you turn on the signal booster, the live broadcast screen is not stuck at all.

Today's main thing is to look at the signal, and there is a number in my heart, and the sky is hazy and dark, and the two of them will return the same way.

When he got home, Ye Chen said goodnight to the audience, turned off the live broadcast, and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, when the sky was hazy and bright, Ye Chen got up from the bed, first called Ye Xing to wake him up, and then went out to fetch water, wash his face and brush his teeth.

"So early. Ye Xing yawned, carrying a schoolbag with a signal booster and a basket.

"Pick mushrooms early. Ye Chen said that he opened the live broadcast room and changed the name of the live broadcast room 'The Man Who Picks Mushrooms'.

Just started the live broadcast, and there was still no one in the live broadcast room.

Ye Chen checked the equipment and made sure there was no problem, so he went out.

Along last night's mountain road and climbed to the top of the mountain, there were dozens of viewers in the live broadcast room.

"Anchor, what are you doing on the mountain early in the morning?"

"Mushroom picking. Ye Chen replied to the first barrage.

It's not even six o'clock.

It's time for everyone to go to bed, and even if they are already up, few people will watch the live broadcast.

"The anchor got up really early, and he has already gone up the mountain, have you gained anything?"

"Just climbed to the top of the mountain. Ye Chen swept the camera back and continued to move forward.

Finding mushrooms is a very delicate job. Eyesight is not only vision, but also observation: "I'm going to concentrate on finding mushrooms, and the rest of the hosting work will be handed over to the second marshal." ”

"I, I can't speak......" Ye Xing shook his head vigorously.

"Just read the barrage and answer some questions from the audience. Ye Chen handed over the mobile phone gimbal and the mobile phone watching the barrage to Ye Xing, and took his schoolbag and basket.

"That...... Thank you for the plane. I'm also watching the game where the big guy is live broadcasting, and the big guy guessed every move you made, including the few times you gank on the road, it's really miserable. ”

"Dizzy. Starry Sky sent a crying emoji: "Dashuai used to be a professional gamer?"

"He has never played professionally, he used to be the king of the single row of American clothes, but then he played less and has always maintained the high score position of the master. You may not believe it, but Dashuai has calculated the time you came out of the wild area several times, and it is accurate to less than three seconds. ”

Ye Xing touted vigorously, and Ye Chen smiled bitterly on his face.

Calculating the time when the opponent's jungler appears is not difficult under certain conditions. For example, the opponent's jungler shows up on the upper lane, sees the opponent's jungler's blood clearly, knows the number of monsters in the opponent's jungle, and then the situation of each lane, and finally clearly knows the opponent's jungler's equipment, that is, whether he has shoes or not, his movement speed...... Generally speaking, you can calculate the approximate position of the opponent's jungler.

"Found a cockfighting mushroom, shot. Ye Chen said, pointing to the grass on the side of the road.

A cockfighting mushroom that has not bloomed, slightly thicker than a thumb. Seeing that Ye Xing gave the lens, Ye Chen took it out and began to dig carefully.

"You have so sharp eyes, you can see it. Ye Xing gave a thumbs up and said.

"The eyes are not blind, just concentrate. Ye Chen dug deep into the soil and lifted a cockfighting mushroom with only an umbrella rod, about fifteen centimeters.

"Anchor 666......"

"Mine. Can you send me this cockfighting mushroom, postage is at your own expense. Starry Sky asked. As I said yesterday, if you find the goods, you will give him the first package.

"Dashuai, the starry sky asked you, can you send him this cockfighting mushroom?"

"No problem. Ye Chen took the mobile phone watching the barrage.

There were two or three hundred viewers in the live broadcast room, but the barrage exploded.

"Why don't you dig until you're older? ”

"The anchor is going to kill ...... everything"

Ye Chen's face twitched: "Under normal circumstances, cockfighting mushrooms only have a one-day lifespan. ”

"We have a saying here that cockfighting mushrooms can't see people. If you don't dig it up, the mushroom umbrella will open when it comes over tomorrow, but the roots must be bitten by insects and can't be eaten......"

"The daytime temperature in the mountains is in the thirties, and mushrooms are perishable. And even if you dig up the cockfighting mushroom, if you don't put it in the refrigerator for insurance, if you don't eat it today, it will be easy to rot tomorrow. This kind of cockfighting mushroom is the best and the most delicious. It is generally found that such cockfighting mushrooms are kept for their own consumption...... This is called black-headed fighting mushroom, the mycelium is firm, crisp, and the best of the best. ”

Ye Chen said that he would return the barrage phone to Ye Xing and continue to look for it.

"Betta fish don't have many trolls, and they are brainless trolls. ”

"Pick a wild mushroom and spray it, it's really the best in the world. ”

"Where is the anchor, I also want to look for mushrooms in the mountains. ”

"Make an appointment to be together, and ask the anchor to lead the way......"

Ye Xing looked at the barrage with difficulty: "We are in the Mengchuan Mountains, if we are friends nearby, we can have the opportunity to enter the mountains together." Mushroom picking takes morning, noon and afternoon, and many mushrooms are already rotten. Someone just said why dig such a small mushroom, but Dashuai explained it very clearly, and it would be a waste not to dig it out and stay here. ”

Lying over a large area of weeds, Ye Chen found another mushroom. It's still a fighting mushroom, the mushroom umbrella of this mushroom has been fully opened, and the mushroom umbrella is the size of a bucket bowl. Ye Chen carefully dug out the mushroom, and the whole mushroom weighed three or four in two.

"The anchor is awesome, isn't there a props group? Such a secret mushroom can also be found. ”

"I'm also in the countryside, and I often go to the mountains to look for mushrooms when I'm young, and I don't always find one a day. How did you find the anchor?"

“666…… The second one. ”

"Come on, anchor, live broadcast food when you go back. ”

"I'm drooling, wild cockfighting mushrooms, we buy more than five hundred pounds here. ”

"The front is more than 500 pounds, and my side is more than 300 pounds. I'll ship it to you as much as you want......"

“SH……”

"More than two hundred pounds on my side. SH's brother thinks about it, how about we do a business together?"

It doesn't matter if it's more than five hundred, more than three hundred, or more than two hundred, it's expensive in short.

Wild mushrooms are becoming scarcer, even in the unpolluted Mengchuan Mountains. Probably due to the rain, these treasures of nature are decreasing year by year.

Ye Chen put the second fighting mushroom he had harvested into a basket and went into the taiga.

A few hours later, Ye Chen and his mother were collecting mushrooms in this coniferous pine forest, and they felt that there were a lot of fungi at that time, and they were often packed on their backs.

There are many thorns in the coniferous pine forest. Before Ye Chen went to the United States, these thorns were also used by people to burn fires and cook, and now no one has come to cut them, and they grow luxuriantly.

Ye Chen chose a good place to walk and looked for it carefully.

"Do you want to see the green hands?" Ye Chen found three green flowers under the pine tree, the caps were all more than ten centimeters, the flesh was about two centimeters thick, the stipe was thick and rod-shaped, and the thickest position was almost five centimeters. One of them, the cap is about 15 centimeters wide, a large stroke.

"Yes, of course, take it back and stir-fry meat or stew, and make up for it. Ye Xing hurriedly set up his mobile phone.

"I don't think it's very tasty. Ye Chen shook his head and started to dig out the three flowers.

"You think it's the same as when we were younger, and the mountains are full of fungi. I'm lucky to be able to pick it up now. Ye Xing said as he lit a cigarette for Ye Chen.

Sanduo saw that the green was put into the basket, and there was not much space in the basket.

Ye Chen sat on the ground and picked up a green flower: "This kind of mushroom, we call it 'a touch of green' here." You see, I touched it gently, and the place I touched quickly turned blue. It's like a delicate little girl......"

"Thank you Master Zhao for the ten-hit combo of fish balls...... Dashuai, Master Zhao asked you to pay attention to the words you use when you speak. ”

"Master Zhao......" Ye Chen snatched his mobile phone: "It's so early, don't you sleep?"

"Sleep, wake up. Delicate little girl, the old driver looks very experienced. ”

Master Zhao, Geeyang's ID, the two watched an outdoor live broadcast of catching fish together, and Ye Chen wrote it down.

"No, I learned it on TV. Ye Chen waved his hand again and again: "That's it, Er Shuai and I continue to look for mushrooms." ”

Ye Chen returned the phone to Ye Xing.

Ye Xing asked, "Who is Master Zhao?"

"Your sister-in-law. ”

“666…… I gave my sister-in-law a room manager. ”

Ye Chen shook it off with a small look, Ye Xing pretended not to see it, and talked nonsense with the audience in the live broadcast room.

The live broadcast room exploded again.

"Da Shuai has a girlfriend?"

"I feel like there is no true love in the world......"

"Nima, get up early in the morning to abuse a single dog, you don't watch the live broadcast...... "The person actually didn't leave.

There are more thorns and weeds in the mountains, and there are fewer mushrooms, so the difficulty of finding mushrooms is not ordinary.

Ye Chen looked at the six paths, and at the same time, he also found that his current sensory ability was particularly strong. For example, more than ten or twenty meters away, as far as the eye can see, you can see if there are any mushrooms. A disguised snake was also found......

"There are snakes ahead. ”

"Where?"

The thing Ye Chen was most afraid of was snakes. Ye Xing is not afraid, and he still has the courage to catch snakes...... This guy caught snakes when he was in junior high school, and sold them in restaurants in the town, a snake weighing more than a pound can be sold for tens or hundreds of yuan in summer, and it is more expensive in winter.

"Front. Under the mountain bud vines, more than ten meters in front of you, the green bamboo snake. "Mountain bud is a kind of wild fruit, some places call it prickly pickles, prickly berries, scientific name raspberry, also known as prickly berries, bubble fruit. It belongs to the Rosaceae family, deciduous shrub. It is generally 1-2 meters tall, with thorny branches and hairless branches, and the fruit resembles a strawberry that has shrunk many times. Just under a large shrub, a green bamboo snake more than one meter long spit snake hyacinth, which made Ye Chen blow up all over his body.

"Where, how I didn't see it. ”

"Oh my god, why are you blind......" The snake swam over, Ye Chen was covered in goosebumps, and hid behind Ye Xing.

"I really didn't see it. Ye Xing handed the mobile phone gimbal to Ye Chen: "Isn't it a green bamboo snake, and it's not poisonous." Finger it, I grabbed it and stewed it for noon to drink. ”

Green bamboo snake is not a scientific name, but a common name, a snake, a bamboo green color snake. The green bamboo snake here in Qingshan Town, everyone said that it was not poisonous. As for whether it is poisonous or not, Ye Chen doesn't know.

But it doesn't matter if it's a poisonous snake or not. As long as it is a snake, it is Ye Chen's weakness, and he will be furious when he sees it.

"Go straight, it's coming. Ye Chen pointed in the direction and said, "Forget it, go elsewhere." ”
