Chapter 143: Fungi

Grandma Li walked in her sleep and did not suffer much. When the son www.biquge.info of the Li family came to tell Yang Xiaobei, there was not even much sadness, for everyone, seventy years old is already a joy and mourning, and it is a relief for everyone that she is gone.

In the end, there were two boxes left in Durendin that were not used up. In Yang Xiaobei's hands, it is a hot potato. It is impossible to give it to the patient's family, they don't know the law, and if they use it indiscriminately, it will be over. It is also impossible to send back to the hospital, there is no such thing. In the end, after thinking about it, she still chose to dig a deep pit and bury it. The timid can't afford to hurt it!

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, spring has passed before you know it. It's bayberry season again, it's rainy and wet. It was always raining, and no patients came, Yang Xiaobei and her mother were bored for a long time, and suddenly thought, "Let's go up the mountain to pick up mushrooms!" ”

It's rare to have leisure, and it's the season for mushroom picking. Yang Xiaobei was interested, put on rain boots and took the basket with his mother, and set off to collect mushrooms in the back mountain. Peach Blossom Village is mountainous, rich in vegetation, and now warm and humid, mushrooms have sprung up on the mountain. She has loved to eat this wild mushroom since she was a child, and it is so rare that it doesn't look like an artificially cultivated earthy smell at all.

Last year, they were in the county seat, and they didn't catch up with the fungus. The fungi on this mountain also depend on the time, whether it is cold, Huangmeitian is the first batch, generally called miscellaneous fungi, what kind of fungus you want, no matter how hot it is, it will not be long. It will not be until September and October that there will be a second batch, and the fungi at that time have dimplea fungi, goose fungi, etc., which are even more delicious, but Yang Xiaobei does not dislike varieties, as long as it is a fungus on the mountain, she loves to eat.

The mountains are hot and humid, and the trees are so thick that sometimes you have to bend over to get through. And the place where the mushroom grows is very demanding, the sunny one is not long, and the yin is not long, if Yang Xiaobei is alone, he may not find a few in the mountains for a day. It's different with my mother, they have been picking up fungi in the mountains since they were children, which mountain has more fungi, where there are what varieties, that is all Menqing.

"What's so delicious about the mushrooms at this time, they are all miscellaneous mushrooms, and if you want to eat them, just say it, and let the second sister pick them up and send them over?" Climb the mountain in full gear, and after a while, you will be sweating. My mother hasn't gotten lucky yet, but she has been afraid of heat since she was a child, so she can't help but complain.

"You know what! If only this was the process! How can others pick up the delicious food with their own hands? "Yang Xiaobei is also hot, mainly stuffy. There are many mosquitoes on the trees, and those with long sleeves and long pants should also guard against snake bites, and beat them with bamboo poles while walking, so as not to scare the snakes under the grass without seeing and stepping on them. But she just likes the feeling of suddenly discovering a bunch of mushrooms, so surprised?

"Look, there's a big one here!" No, I just made a discovery. A large white mushroom sprang out from under the grass over there, white and flawless, slim. Yang Xiaobei happily took it off and showed it to her mother, "Can you eat it?" ”

It's a shame to say that she loves to eat and pick, but she is blind and doesn't know the variety of mushrooms. The countryside has dozens of names for the mushrooms on the mountain, where does she remember so much? Every time I saw it, I put it in a basket, and then I went home and let the adults check it, and half of it was not eaten and thrown away.

Poisonous mushrooms eat the dead, and that's what grown-ups have told them to do. There are many mountains here, and it is common to go up the mountain to pick up mushrooms to eat, but every few years there will always be accidents where children go up the mountain and pick toadstools to eat. What identification methods are said on the Internet are all bullshit, for example, the one Yang Xiaobei is holding in his hand now, it is snow-white and clean, and the fungus umbrella is also thick, but my mother took a look at it and said, "You can't eat it, throw it away!" ”

"Oh!" Yang Xiaobei honestly threw away the big mushroom, and then looked for it again. Mom also found a spot, and she found a pink mushroom.

Don't look at some mushrooms with bright colors, but they are not poisonous mushrooms. There are a lot of mushrooms in front of you, and the mushroom umbrella is pink and the handle is white, especially kawaii. The villagers call this mushroom "cochineal", and as you can see from the name, it is as white and red as a layer of rouge, which is different.

My mother frowned and said, "This cochineal is not delicious, do you want to pick it?" "Cochineal bacteria are beautiful and non-toxic, but they don't taste good. A lot of people don't pick it. Yang Xiaobei doesn't care, she is a face control, it doesn't matter if it's delicious or not, just look good!

Squatting down and carefully picking up the cochineal into the basket, leaving some ungrown mushroom packets, the two of them continued to walk forward. Generally, people don't take a piece of fungus to light, although they are mycelium breeding, but I don't know why, if a piece is harvested, it will be difficult to grow again next time. But now there are a lot of mushrooms on the mountain, so everyone is picking up bowls of vegetables to eat. Later, the price of wild mushrooms rose, and the mountains were full of people picking up mushrooms, and all the mushrooms were harvested alive and extinct.

The further you go in the mountains, there are more and more mushrooms, and some of them are densely covered with green spots, called mung bean mushrooms. Some are earthy yellow, and as soon as you take off the handle of the umbrella, a white slurry will emerge, called "milk pulp fungus", this is the best mushroom now, the number is relatively small, and I have encountered a few plants today. With the right location, a large colony can fill a basket. It didn't take long for the two baskets they had brought with them to their full capacity, and although they were still not satisfied, they had to return home.

When I went back, I also found a few on the side of the road, or milk plasma bacteria, which was really unexpected. So a lot of times you look for it, but you end up under your nose. Everyone went to the mountains to look for it, who would have thought that there would be one on the side of the road?

Today is full of goods, and the two of them will not be idle after they go back, and the fungi they picked up cannot be left overnight, otherwise they will rot. Soak them all in a large basin to let the insects and ants float away, then wash them carefully, blanch them in boiling water, and then they can be fired. It's also a coincidence, Zhou Pin came over in the evening as if he smelled it.

He came to pick up Yang Xiaobei for dinner. The first batch of vegetables has come out, and according to Yang Xiaobei's suggestion, Chef Liu of the guest house studied a few new dishes and specially invited her to try them. It just so happened that the fungi had also been dealt with, so I called my mother and second uncle to bring them over for a big meal.

Dinner is cooked by Chef Liu, and the fresh wild mushrooms are stewed with farmhouse bacon, which is so fragrant and tender that your tongue will swallow it. According to Zhou Pinzheng's words, "the eyebrows are about to fall off". In the past two days, he has seen farmers on the street selling them, but unfortunately he has never eaten this wild mushroom, and he really dare not say anything when he sees the flowers.

"Hah, you don't know that! Relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, this is the treasure of the mountain! Yang Xiaobei said proudly. Big cities are good, but where can you find this delicacy? Even though you can buy so-called "wild mushrooms" online later, they are still not as delicious as they can be eaten freshly.
