When he was contracting the farm, Xiao Feng took a fancy to these hills located in the southwest of the farm, where an artificial mixed forest grew.
These forests planted more than ten years ago have basically grown thigh-thick, lush, and quite good.
At the beginning of the year, the Xiao family added another fee and contracted this piece of hill on the edge of the farm, and seven or eight hills stretched for nearly 6 square kilometers. Since the beginning of spring, Xiao Feng has come to this forest more than once, sprinkled spores of various wild fungi into the woodland, and infiltrated enough space into the nearby water source, intending to transform this place into the wild mushroom production base of the Xiao family farm.
Xiao Tao and others are not too optimistic about Xiao Feng's plan, because in their cognition, many wild mushrooms are difficult to artificially cultivate, and even if they are successfully cultivated, the taste and nutritional value will be greatly reduced.
However, seeing that Xiao Feng was so positive, they couldn't hit Xiao Feng well.
Today, Xiao Feng came to this mountain with a mushroom-picking team, which is the test results
"When you enter the forest, you must not run around, you must follow your mother!" Before entering the forest, Xiao Feng specially pulled a few radish heads over to lecture him, and said: "When you see mushrooms, you can call uncle, and then you can pick them, do you know?"
Although the forest has been cleared, the number of weeds and shrubs is not as dense as that of the primeval forest, but it is still quite troublesome for children.
And after entering the summer, there are still a lot of insects and small snakes in the forest, and in order to ensure safety, the dolls can not run around. There are so many types of mushrooms in the Biluo Snow Mountain area that even villagers who have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time can't identify all of them, and Xiao Feng doesn't want the children to pick back some poisonous mushrooms.
After explaining carefully, Xiao Feng hit a few combinations of mothers and children into the forest, and he walked in front with a mountain knife to open up the way for them.
The forest air after the rain is exceptionally fresh, and Xiao Feng can feel the fragrance of grass and trees and the fragrance of the earth when you smell it. There is also a variety of flowers containing the fragrance, which is very charming.
The rising sun shines through the treetops, creating pillars of light in the forest, creating a dreamlike world that is very moving.
In the void of the forest, the lawn is laid like a green carpet, and the colorful unknown wildflowers carry crystal water droplets. Shine in the sun.
"It's so beautiful!" Looking at the jungle like a fairy tale world, Xu Mengyao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Fifth Sister, Yang Li, Sun Qingmei and others were also a little uncontrollable, looking at the dreamlike scene in front of them, slightly stunned.
For sensual women, this kind of scene is very much in line with their fantasies about some fairy tale world, and this reaction appears. It's not about academic qualifications, identity and status.
A ray of sunlight passed through the jungle, just shining on Xu Mengyao's fair face, and the shallow fluff was like a layer of golden light, shining with holy light. Xiao Feng himself was stunned, and regretted why he didn't bring the camera out?
"Old lady, look!" Xu Xiangnan nodded to his wife and asked her to see Xiao Feng's reaction.
Xiao Feng's every move towards Xu Mengyao was in the eyes of the old man. His kindness to Nini is also obvious to all, which makes the old man no longer object to the affairs of the two young people. What's more, Xiao Feng will not have any gap with the Xu family in terms of appearance, character, ability and family background, which makes the old man extremely satisfied.
"Don't look at it, old man!" The old lady was very relieved to see the scene in front of her, but he didn't want to disturb the sweetness of the two young people like this.
Several old men turned away in tacit understanding. Didn't break the warmth.
"Uncle Nine, there are a lot of mushrooms here!" At this time, Tongtong's words broke the tranquility in the forest.
Hearing this, Xiao Feng was excited, his old face was slightly red, and he ran over following Tongtong's voice.
Turning a bush, a large field of mushrooms came into Xiao Feng's eyes. Small umbrella-shaped wild mushrooms are distributed like stars on the grass.
"Uncle, what kind of mushroom is this, Huang Huang is so beautiful!" Ding Dang is five years old this year, and she can recognize some mushrooms in the kindergarten pictures. But I haven't seen this little mushroom in front of me!
"This is chanterelles, I will go home and my uncle will make something for you to eat!" Seeing the chanterelles in front of him, Xiao Feng was pleasantly surprised.
In Xiao Feng's impression, he did not find the spores of chanterelles, which proves that these chanterelles are real wild mushrooms, which shows that this forest is very suitable for the growth of wild mushrooms.
Although chanterelles can now be artificially cultivated and can be purchased at a low price in the market, Xiao Feng has tried the taste of artificial chanterelles, which is quite like chewing wax.
Although chanterelles are not as famous as lion's mane mushrooms and matsutake mushrooms, they are one of the gastronomic symbols of the steel country, especially in Germany, along with German sausages.
Chanterelles are very oil-absorbing when cooking, and when you bite into it, the oil and water of the mushroom juice are squeezed out and flow out, like chicken fat, hence the name.
What makes chanterelles special is that typical apricot aroma, a taste that is not found in any kind of food.
The way Chinese eat chanterelles is mainly to make soup or stir-fry meat as a side dish, stew for a longer time, and that special taste will come out, especially chanterelle stewed local chicken, which is a famous dish in the mountains!
Chanterelles have extremely strict requirements for the growth environment, and prefer to grow in acidic soil without pollution, and termite nests can generally be found near the growth of chanterelles.
Xiao Feng swept a few glances, and there was a huge termite nest between several big trees, no wonder a large area of chanterelles here had grown densely.
Afraid that a few children would destroy these chanterelles without knowing the severity of the mushrooms, Xiao Feng carefully picked this piece of chanterelles and put them in the small baskets of several dolls, and then continued to move towards the depths of the forest.
"Xiaofeng, you are so careful, are these chanterelles very precious?" Seeing Xiao Feng's happy face, Xu Mengyao couldn't help but ask curiously.
After coming to Ginkgo Village for a while, Xu Mengyao had the opportunity to taste all kinds of top ingredients, and Xiao Feng got top mushrooms such as matsutake mushrooms, lion's mane mushrooms, and morels from the purple bamboo space, and the Xiao family was already a little tired of eating them. It was the first time for Xu Mengyao to see Xiao Feng so cautious about an ingredient, so she was naturally curious.
"These chanterelles themselves are not too expensive, but their growth environment is too harsh, extremely rare!" Xiao Feng pointed to the termite nest not far away, and said: "Only near the termite nest can grow, it is rare to meet, and there will be a big dish today!"
Because he was worried that termites would cause great damage to the environment in the purple bamboo space, Xiao Feng did not dare to migrate termites to the space class and artificially create an environment for the growth of chanterelles. For this reason, even though there are many top-notch mushrooms in the space, chanterelles are a delicacy that is hard to find.
After everyone walked over, Xiao Feng quietly watered some spatial spiritual springs in this place where chanterelles grow, and if nothing else, another batch of chanterelles can be harvested here after a while.
After the good start of chanterelles, the mushroom picking team harvested again and again in the following trip, including straw mushrooms, flower mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms and other mushrooms, which made people dazzled. In addition, the fungus and white fungus that grow on some dead wood and stumps are also gifts from nature, and they are carefully picked by Xiao Feng and others and put into the back basket.
Whenever there was a bush of wild mushrooms or fungus, the children's shouts immediately resounded throughout the forest, startling all kinds of birds that were inhabiting, and their mothers were not far behind, and the exclamations and screams were endless, which made Xiao Feng feel a big headache.
A few old people on crutches watched the lively scene with a smile on their faces, and they didn't have to do it themselves, they just took a walk in the woods, and they were in a very good mood.
After walking around in the forest for more than an hour, the back baskets of the 4 children were almost full, Xiao Feng roughly estimated that these fungi and fungus were enough for today's two meals, and decided to end today's action and go home!
As for the deeper forest, it is not suitable for the team in front of him, Xiao Feng plans to take a deeper look tomorrow to see if the forest is suitable for commercial mining?
Just as everyone was about to leave the forest, Baiyun Black Soil, under the leadership of Da Hua, also brought a surprise to Xiao Feng.
With two rabbits in his mouth, Xiao Feng saw that this fat rabbit was at least five or six catties, and with a little tidying up, it could be turned into a pot of fragrant red stewed rabbit meat, plus some oil-absorbing shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, etc., not to mention the taste!
Picking up the two rabbits, Xiao Feng began to report today's noon menu to everyone present, painting and coloring, causing several children to drool, pulling Xiao Feng's clothes to let him go faster.
"This guy!" Seeing that Xiao Feng was selling cuteness with a few children, Xu Mengyao could only shake her head.
The group harvested a large number of wild mushrooms and happily returned to the old house, which was greatly envied by the farm workers they met along the way. However, for the villagers, they now prefer to spend more time on the farm, after all, this kind of income is more stable.
For lunch and dinner on this day, the main character on the dinner table is the wild mushrooms picked by hand from the forest, which absorb the natural gifts of the weather and combine them with various top-notch ingredients produced in the farm and space, which makes people want to stop.
In the words of the fifth sister Xiao Yuegui, if you eat like this at home every day, everyone will gain weight!
However, although she has so much, she has not relaxed at all, and the local chicken soup stewed with chanterelles can be killed for two nights by herself, so she is satisfied!
As for other people's eating appearance, it is not much better, even Xu Mengyao, who pays the most attention to image, is also eating with an open stomach.
As a chef, Xiao Feng sees that his works are liked by everyone, although the natural aura is the key factor, but his craftsmanship has been affirmed by everyone, and it is also a happy thing!
