61. Mushroom-picking soybean

Two weeks have passed since the discovery of Poseidon Cave, and before you know it, May and Spring are coming to an end hand in hand.

Although Su Yi insisted that this year's summer would be cool and pleasant, God seemed to be intent on playing a joke with him.

From May 26, the sky broke through the big hole again. The rain is back, accompanied by rising temperatures and a mosquito carnival. In the weather forecast at 8 o'clock the next morning, the national emergency radio made an authoritative interpretation of the heavy rain in East China - the rainy season has begun.

The six big and one small on Foguang Island, except for Du Yunfei, are no strangers to the plum rain. But familiarity does not mean good feeling, on the contrary, everyone hates the rainy season, so much so that they want to knock themselves out for a few months, wake up and face the cool and dry autumn directly.

On the afternoon of May 27, we held an emergency meeting in the conference room on the north side of the second floor of the villa to estimate the hidden dangers that may arise during the rainy season and arrange the focus of work and life during the plum season. In order to avoid the aggravation of T3 syndrome, Du Yunfei built that even if everyone nests in the villa on rainy days, they should also properly arrange opportunities to go out for walking and exercising. Duan Whale also stressed the need to appropriately increase radio contact with the outside world.

When it comes to the world on the radio waves, the pattern has not changed much. Several national stations have begun to streamline the daily routine of radio festivals, even programming 24-hour programs ranging from "survival guides" to "music appreciation".

If someone turns on the radio by chance, they may think that the world is slowly restoring civilization and order, but this is far from the case.

T3 syndrome, which appears on Foguang Island, is also spreading around the world.

The restless atmosphere is like a plague, traveling around the world along the airwaves. Invective and quarrels became the main theme of all frequency bands for a while. There are even rumors of riots breaking out in official settlements in several countries. In India, the existential contradictions between different classes are exacerbated by the narrow space, and the riots detonate a second wave of zombie shocks. A few days later, even the official broadcasts fell silent.

The outside world is still full of dangers, and the peaceful days on Foguang Island are becoming more and more precious.

Then again, the rainy season isn't without its merits – the plants that bloom in late winter and early spring are bearing fruit in abundance. The purple-red bayberry trees are full of trees, and the mulberry trees are also in the harvest period. And in Suhe's vegetable greenhouse, the first vegetables have already begun to be harvested. Fresh and crisp chrysanthemum, parsley and long-stemmed broccoli are brought back to the villa for storage at low temperatures or made into a variety of delicacies.

The explosion of fruits and vegetables brought about a change in the way cooking is done. Lin Youqing's simple homemade salad dressing with vegetable oil, lemon juice, egg yolks and sugar adds a touch of freshness to the hot and humid season.

Of course, eating vegetables alone will not satisfy a few large carnivores. During the rainy season, you should still try the special delicacies of the rainy season.

Calculating the time of low tide, Haichen led Lu Rulan to the mangrove forest, and caught half a bucket of palm-length mudskipper in the rain. It is now the breeding season of mudskipper, the male is fat, the female is holding the seeds, whether it is stewed egg, fried or grilled, the taste is extremely delicious.

In addition, the "weeds" that grow from the abundant rain have also become a good thing in the eyes of some people.

That morning, the rain stopped. Unable to bear Su He's continuous entanglement, Du Yunfei finally agreed to take him out to collect nettles and make the "nettle beer" that ZuΓ² occasionally mentioned in small talk a few days ago.

Nettle beer was taught to him by a British colleague of Du Yunfei, and it is said that the wine originated in medieval monasteries in Europe.

Su He found a wasteland overgrown with nettle bushes in the botanical garden, and the two of them put on gloves and spent nearly half an hour picking a large basket full of this troublesome plant with formic acid that can sting people, and took it back to the kitchen of the villa.

Thankfully, once picked, nettles' ability to sting slowly fades. Rub the dust off the leaves and pour them all into a large pot to heat. When cooked, the nettle turns from emerald green to dark green, and looks like spinach.

Together, the two squeezed and collected the green juice oozing from the leaves, and poured it into a large glass jar. Add sugar, sliced lemon and a handful of ripe mulberries, seal and let stand.

The dried nettle leaves were not wasted, Du Yunfei smashed them into a puree, stirred them with oil, garlic, etc., and made a sauce, which was also preserved.

The scheduled opening date of Nettle Beer was two months later, but just looking at the can of emerald liquid made Su He already feel a strong sense of accomplishment.

"I only knew that nettle soaked water could be used as fertilizer, and it stinked so badly, but I didn't expect it to be able to be made into a drink."

Du Yunfei skillfully cleaned up the cooking table: "The world is very big, and there are many things you don't know. ”

"Then you can take me out to see more in the future."

"You don't have legs yourself?"

"Tsk, don't you just brew a nettle wine, look at you. I'll see if I'll get something really technical and open your eyes later. ”

As he said, as soon as he finished eating at noon that day, Su He went out with a small bamboo basket humming a song. Du Yunfei listened to the incomplete singing voice in one ear, and was stunned for a long time before realizing that he was actually singing "a little girl picking mushrooms".

Facts have proved that Su He's song was sung to him.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone who had finished their afternoon nap walked down the stairs, just in time to see Su He coming back with a basket of mushrooms, still humming a song, and went into the kitchen to clean.

"Yo, I'm going to eat mushrooms......"

Haichen went to the kitchen to fetch water to drink, and at a glance he saw the mushrooms piled up in the sink, and then gasped.

"What the hell are these red and yellow ones, poisonous mushrooms, right? Can you eat it?! ”

"You know the."

Su He treated him with expert contempt, and then picked up a mushroom that was as delicate and bright red as a rose petal.

"This is called boletus mushroom, which is not only non-toxic but also delicious. And thisβ€”"

As he spoke, he took out another self-sealing plastic bag from his pocket: "This is the poisonous mushroom." ”

"I'll go, why did you bring back the poisonous mushrooms too?"

"I'll teach Little Star a lesson later."

Hearing them talking, Lu Rulan also came over, and when she saw the mushrooms in the clear water pool, she immediately began to shout: "Brother! Why did you come back to this set? You forgot about the poisoning last year so quickly?! ”

"Alas, it was a slap in the eye that time, not this time, definitely not."

Su He was trying to appease his cousin, and Du Yunfei also came over.

"What poisoning."

So Lu Rulan went to Yunnan to investigate and brought back a bag of self-picked wild mushrooms to make soup to drink, and as a result, one of the two brothers lay on the sofa and rowed, and the other mentally returned to the painful past of the three-year-old and briefly explained. After finishing it, he reiterated his opinion: My brother is not good at fungi at all, but he is greedy!

His alarmist remarks made others even more afraid to try this basket of flowery-looking mushrooms. Du Yunfei ordered Su He to dispose of all the mushrooms, and Su He decided to prove that he was right with practical actions.

Mushrooms of all sizes are washed, drained, torn apart, and thrown into a hot pan to bake and squeeze. Wait until the mushrooms are completely dried and begin to brown, then sprinkle with seasonings and crushed peanuts and stir-fry quickly.

The roasted dried mushrooms from the pan are packed into a vacuum plastic lunch box and become a daily snack exclusive to Suhe. That afternoon, Du Yunfei always saw him walking around chewing dried mushrooms in his mouth, as if he was deliberately provoking.

But then again, I really haven't seen anything happen to Su He in the past half a day, maybe this time there is indeed no problem with his judgment.

But Du Yunfei later found out that it was still too early to say this.

The next afternoon, everyone else finished their naps and started their own business. Du Yunfei looked around the villa but didn't see Su He, and finally faintly heard laughter coming from the fishing bamboo shed by the artificial lake.

He was stunned, and suddenly felt a little bad.

When he walked to the lake and took a look, it was Su He who made a smirk.

I saw him lying on his stomach in the bamboo shed, stretching out his arms to play with the water, his upturned legs swaying back and forth, his slippers were gone, and the soles of his feet were covered with mud. Looking at the side, the plastic box containing the mushrooms is still open, and there are not many roasted mushrooms left.

It's really benevolent, this guy really still eats poisonous mushrooms.

Although he complained in his heart, he was worried that Su He would suddenly go crazy and jump into the water, so Du Yunfei still walked over quickly.

Hearing the footsteps, Su He immediately turned his head, spit out the dogtail grass held at the corner of his mouth, and looked at Du Yunfei with a curious expression.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Uncle, who are you? ”

Du Yunfei burst out in English in his heart, but he couldn't help but compare with Su: "Go." ”

Su Yiyi sat up and shrank back: "Why do you want to go with you?" I don't know you. ”

Du Yunfei silently observed Su He's poisoning symptoms, and said tentatively: "How old are you this year?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Five years old. Su He stretched out his hand and compared a four, and asked again: "Uncle, who are you?" ”

It's not that Du Yunfei hasn't dealt with a four- or five-year-old little illness, but if he really wants to coax this over-age giant baby in front of him, to be honest, he still has a bit of a psychological disorder.

In any case, he replied with affection: "I am a doctor." ”

"Doctor?" Su He immediately became nervous, "...... I'm not sick, so I don't want injections! ”

After saying that, he turned his head and actually wanted to run away.

However, Du Yunfei had already been quick and grabbed his ankle hard.

Caught off guard, he lost his balance, and Su He fell to the ground with a thud. Although the bamboo shed is somewhat resilient, pain is inevitable. Before Du Yunfei could say anything, he only heard a "wow", and Su He actually cried.

"It hurts...... Why are you bullying me......"

He turned his head to look at Du Yunfei, his expression twisted, and tears rippled on his cheeks.

I didn't expect Su He to be so delicate when he was a child.

However, considering that delaying would delay the treatment time, Du Yunfei could only drag the person out again.

"Let's go!"

Su He struggled: "I'm not leaving!" Don't go! ”

Although his brain is not normal, his body is still an adult after all. Such a struggle and twisting naturally caused great trouble to Du Yunfei. The two men didn't take a few steps before they fell into a puddle of water, and because it was raining, they were covered in mud.

What's even worse is that just falling doesn't count. Su He used both hands and feet, bumpy and noisy in the puddle, bringing out the nature of the bear child to the fullest.

Splashed with mud, Du Yunfei's heart was on fire, thinking that he was not a real child anyway, so he simply raised his hand and slapped Su He's ass fiercely.

There was a crisp crack, and the crying stopped abruptly.

Su He's whole person was suddenly shocked, and he turned to look at Du Yunfei, his eyes were full of fear. In the next second, his lips suddenly turned white, and he breathed rapidly as if someone had choked his neck, as if he couldn't breathe.

Damn it!

Du Yunfei scolded secretly, quickly picked a big leaf on the side and rolled it into a bucket to cover Su He's mouth, and dragged him up again, half-supporting and half-holding him to the villa.
