Chapter 51: A deer like a big mouse
"Brother, brother, I'm here!" Li Ming parked the car and couldn't wait to start yelling, and at the same time got out of the car and lifted the equipment in the car one by one. There are not a lot of things www.biquge.info pen & fun > pavilion, just two large marching bags, all of which are some simple utensils, such as a single tent, a sleeping bag or something.
You don't need to bring food to the mountains in this season, and there is a lot of food in the mountains. Wild fruits, wild meat enough to feed one or two people in the mountains for a few days, but Li Ming brought a small pot and kettle. It's convenient to cook some vegetable soup or something in the mountains, and the other is a flashlight.
"The speed is okay, let's go!" Li Zhi also walked out of the house at this time, he brought a mountain knife and a kettle, lifted a bag and threw it on his shoulder, and walked towards Daba Mountain with Li Ming.
"Brother, there are no good ones in the gun village. It should be okay to bring a crossbow this time, right? Li Ming hurriedly followed, lifted a crossbow arrow from his waist and said, There is no way, there are still a few old sleeves in the village, which have not been opened for several years, even if they are used, no one dares to use them, the quality of that thing is too big, the possibility of exploding is too high, and I dare not play.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, this time let's go to Jiulong Pond and it's not far away. When I come back, let's see if I ask Hao Jianren's kid to help get a batch of imitation guns back, although the lethality of that thing is average, but it's okay. Li Zhi can't help it, but this time he doesn't plan to go far, mainly to find some more valuable mountain goods to see if he can cultivate them, Jiulong Lake is the place with the most mountain goods in Daba Mountain.
"Kowloon Pond? Brother, I've heard that few people have been there in the past two years! Li Ming was a little worried, although Jiulong Lake is not far away, the forest over there is very large, there are more animals and plants in the forest, and there are many wild mushrooms, but almost no one has entered it over the years.
"It's okay, everyone hasn't been in the mountains much over the years, and there must be a lot of good things in the mountains. Now the price of matsutake mushrooms is not high, and when I think it was more than 1,000 kilograms, Jiulong Lake was about to be turned over by everyone. Li Zhi sighed a little that with the decline in the price of matsutake mushrooms, fewer and fewer people in the village have entered the mountains.
At the turn of the millennium, matsutake mushrooms began to be exported, and the small traders who came to buy matsutake mushrooms in Lijiagou were called more than one, and there were people squatting 24 hours a day, and almost all the people in the village went into the mountains in order to make more money, and many places in the mountains with matsutake mushrooms were turned over, resulting in many mountains close to the village not growing matsutake mushrooms.
"Hey, who can be blamed for this? By the way, I've heard that the pig arch fungus is pretty good. Li Ming also knew about this, back then they also went to the mountains to dig the soil, matsutake mushrooms belong to the planer fungus, when they were young, they grew in the soil in order to make money, many people directly used hoes to dig, at that time they made a lot of money, but now it is basically out of stock, and now the price is getting lower and lower, everyone is not interested in running into the mountains again.
"Arch porcine? Oh, truffles! Well, that's a good thing. However, the price of truffles in our country has not been high, and the black truffles (black diamonds) in France and the white truffles (white gold) in Italy are the most valuable. In fact, the taste is almost the same, as long as it is well advertised. “
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. Arch pig fungus is the name of the Chinese or many locals, and the scientific name is truffle. It is a relatively high-grade edible mushroom, because it is rich in protein, amino acids and other elements, as well as a unique taste, which is loved by many foodies.
Truffles have not been artificially cultivated so far, with low yield, high price, and unique taste, and are collectively known as "the world's three major food treasures" by the foodie industry, along with fatty foie gras and caviar.
The prices of black truffles in France and white truffles in Italy are very high, and some are directly auctioned for tens of thousands of euros a kilogram, but the price of domestic truffles is relatively much worse, only about one-third of others.
This is mainly due to the fact that there are differences in taste depending on the region. In fact, Li Zhi has also tasted French black truffles and Italian white truffles, and I dare not say that I have eaten the best, but I feel that the difference between them and China is not very big, they are all the same taste. Therefore, in his opinion, the reason why the price of black truffles in China cannot go up is still focused on publicity.
Most of the black truffles eaten in China are used to make soups or to season eggs and rice, and are used under the skin of roast chickens or in creamy seasonings. It's really okay to eat it like this, but the taste of the truffle must be greatly affected.
And people abroad, such as truffles in France or Italy, are basically eaten raw. This is also the difference between Chinese people and foreigners, one likes to eat cooked food and the other likes to eat raw, and the taste is naturally different. Eating it raw can preserve the original taste of the truffle, with a little garlic flavor, somewhat similar to cheese, with some pungent taste.
"Isn't it? There are so many more to say about this pig arch mushroom, although I haven't eaten it, but the taste is really not very good, it smells worse than the taste of matsutake mushrooms, pungent! Li Ming has also seen that pig arch mushrooms were basically one of the menus of wild boars or domestic pigs in the past, and they have only been accepted by everyone in the past few years, but basically no one in the village eats them.
"You kid, that's a high-end ingredient! We'll see if we can get some this time into the mountains, but it's easier to find if you have a pig or a dog, and it basically grows in the ground. Li Zhi was a little speechless, but it made sense. The taste of truffles is indeed unique, just like durian, and those who like it are delicious to eat. People who don't like that smell smell just stink.
"Where's your Ah Huang?" Li Ming and the two have just entered the mountain, they are directly from the west of Sanshuiwan into the mountain, there is a small road here is the name of the village of Sanshuiwan in the past, the road to cut firewood in the mountain, although no one has walked for many years, it is a little difficult to walk, but at least there is no need to walk in the forest.
"Ah Huang didn't know where to go wild early in the morning, this old boy has been wild since he came to Sanshuiwan, and every day seems to have a second spring." Speaking of Ah Huang, Li Zhi was also very helpless, this guy didn't know what was going on, now his spirit is much better than before, he can hardly see a shadow every day, if it weren't for the fact that he brought a rabbit or pheasant home every other day, Li Zhi would have been eager to lock him up.
"Why don't you go to the town market in a few days and buy two and come back?" Li Ming didn't see Ah Huang a few times, and he was also a little dissatisfied, although this old guy has feelings for everyone, but such dereliction of duty still makes people a little angry.
"Let's take a look, I'm looking forward to Ah Huang coming back with his family!" Li Zhi smiled for no reason, and couldn't help laughing after speaking. The two of them stopped and walked, and soon crossed a hill and the forest began to dense, and all kinds of animals also increased.
From time to time, rabbits or pheasants could be seen running in some bushes, and birds and small squirrels in the trees would make a little noise, expressing their dissatisfaction with Li Zhi and the two of them who rashly broke the peace of the forest.
"Hey, it looks like a muntjac over there!" Suddenly, Li Ming pointed to a small bush on the right and said, muntjac is not a strange thing in the area of Lijiagou, but it is rare not to encounter it in the mountains for many years.
The muntjac meat is delicate and fragrant, and it is loved by the villagers. In the past, it was not less troubled by everyone, the muntjac meat was stewed, and the fried taste was good, and Li Zhi was also interested. The two brothers glanced at each other and quietly touched it, and soon saw the figure of the little guy who flashed by just now.
The muntjac is smaller than the deer, about the same size as the elk. Adult muntjac can weigh about 100 pounds, and it is very fast and feeds on shrub leaves and weeds. Timid, but a little silly, a little silly in Internet buzzwords, a bit silly and silly, so some people call muntjac stupid cows.
Li Ming looked at it and felt a little wrong, this guy seemed to be much smaller than a muntjac. However, the top of the head has no horns, and it is dressed in stripes dominated by yellow. But this guy looks a bit like a large mouse, with little pointed ears flashing and flashing, scanning the surroundings like radar, and occasionally looking up to look around and look alert.
"What is this?" Li Ming looked at this little guy who was less than half the size of the muntjac and was a little confused, although he also knew a lot of wild animals, but it was the first time he had seen such a thing, less than ten centimeters tall, and the overall appearance was not much meat.
