Chapter 18: Not a Good Bird
Ma Fenghou didn't know that his old nest had been remembered by others, and at this moment, he was setting up a big iron pot outside Qingyunguan, and the pot was steaming, just waiting for the pheasant to get out of the pot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chen Ergou had a big basin in front of him, and half of the basin was filled with hot water, and he was picking chicken feathers one by one. To say that this big disciple really didn't harvest in vain, he actually ordered hunting skills.
Yesterday, walking in the woods during the day, Chen Ergou found a hiding place for pheasants. Anyway, Ma Fenghou can't see anything about this mallet, but Chen Ergou swears that there is fresh chicken manure under this branch, and other branches are growing obliquely, this one is basically flat, and it is obvious that there are large birds lying on it at night to press. So he slept until midnight, and had to go hunting pheasants.
The mountain dwelling was lonely, and Ma Fenghou followed with great interest. In the woods, it's like a back garden of your own home, and you can quickly find a place by car.
Chen Ergou bent his waist, tiptoed to the bottom of the tree, and suddenly turned on the bright flashlight, only to see a row of shiny little eyes on the branches.
Stuffing the flashlight to Master Monkey and continuing to shine on it, Chen Ergou picked up the slingshot, loaded a round stone, pulled the slingshot with both arms, and swished at the big rooster with the largest size and the most colorful color.
The branches are more than three meters high from the ground, even if Chen Ergou stands a little more deviated, the straight-line distance is only about five meters, such a close distance, if he is not accurate, his slingshot for so many years will be in vain. The stone is impartial, right in the middle of the pheasant's head. As the so-called red head on the top and circle on the bottom, he is not afraid of pheasants running happily, Chen Ergou knows this well.
With a pop, the pheasant fell backwards from the tree and fell to the ground. Chen Ergou hurriedly put stones into the back pocket of the slingshot. Tonight, the night was dark and windy, there was no moon, and the pheasant was originally blindfolded by a bird, and it was shaken by the strong light of the flashlight, and only the neck was shrunk, and he didn't know how to fly at all.
The pheasant on the tree is estimated to be a family, a male pheasant, and the rest are female pheasants.
As a result, Ma Fenghou's little paw patted his belly, which shocked Chen Ergou's hands and the stones flew into the air. Seeing Master Monkey waving his hand at him, Chen Ergou couldn't help but scratch the back of his head a few times: Master is still tall, and he knows the truth of fine water. I'll spare you pheasants today, and come back later when you want to satisfy your cravings.
After bleeding the pheasant, the master and apprentice returned with a full load. No, the next day I was ready to stew pheasant.
After all, it is a Taoist temple, and it is not good to open meat in it. Although Ma Fenghou didn't believe this, out of respect, he still supported Chen Ergou to build a simple stove outside.
They cleaned up the pheasants here, and the monkeys were all far away, only a handful of hairy ignorant people were fearless, squatting beside Chen Ergou to watch the excitement, a pair of round eyes and bones turning back and forth. Pumped cold and grabbed a pheasant's long tail feather, scattered his legs and ran.
Stinky boy, use chicken feathers as arrows - Ma Fenghou watched a handful of feathers dancing pheasant feathers, attracting several other monkey cubs to scramble, and he was also very happy, such a day seems to be good.
Rough work such as disemboweling pheasants naturally doesn't need Ma Fenghou to stretch out his hand, and he won't either. Chen Ergou is really capable, and the children of poor families are also very thrifty, after disemboweling the pheasant, the heart and liver are taken out and kept, and even the chicken gizzard is peeled clean. These two pheasants are not poisoned, so the internal organs are completely edible, and you should be careful if you buy them in the market.
Chop the pheasant into pieces, then blanch it, put it in the pot, add more lard and start stir-frying. Pheasants are more chai and have a strong fishy smell, so it is best to fry them in lard when stewing.
Smelling the aroma coming from the pot, the monkeys gradually gathered. Chen Ergou shouted while turning the big spoon over the clanging sound: "It's not your share, it's useless to run a haha-"
The monkeys were now familiar with him, so they grimaced at him and dispersed. It's rare that the Monkey King didn't assign a task today, and the monkeys can move freely. Akajiri was the most fun, and he also picked up two pheasant feathers from the ground, and compared them on his body for a while, but in the end there was really no place to insert them, so he directly cocked his tail and inserted it into his eyes.
Akajiri towered his buttocks, and the pheasant feathers behind him swayed in the wind, so that the few female monkeys who stayed at the temple gate screamed again and again.
I'll go, you monkeys in the mountains really know how to play - Ma Fenghou is completely speechless, this Akajiri is quite fond of playing treasures, the first time we met, I got a little pants and put them on my head, hey, the past is unbearable to look back on-
Forcing himself not to think about those memories, Ma Fenghou peeled a large matsutake mushroom into the pot again, and the aroma slowly spread, and even the wild boar cubs in the distance pricked up their ears and stared at each other with round eyes.
Xiao Qi was also busy, moved out the tables, stools, dishes and chopsticks, and sat and waited for the meal. These days, she and Ma Fenghou are really good enough, and they can finally eat meat. Children, they are greedy, Xiao Qi is good, at a young age, he lives with a monkey in the mountains.
The pot grunted for more than an hour, and when the pheasant was about to cook, a group of uninvited guests appeared at the door of Qingyunguan. The crowd was huge, there were nearly twenty people, and the old village chief walked in front with complicated thoughts.
There are so many outsiders, as well as foreigners, what should I do if the monkey is not happy, do you say that these people are full of food, what is better on this mountain, and the rotten fruits all over the mountain are not worth much.
However, it is said that the leader is the county magistrate, although he, the village head, is separated from the township chief by one level, but the difference in authority is 108,000 miles, and there is no way.
"Grandpa, why are you here, the pheasant that was just about to be stewed, and Master Monkey and I were about to eat it." Chen Ergou was quite filial, and hugged the old village chief's arm affectionately.
The old village chief first looked at the monkey, and saw that the monkey was looking at the group of people on the ground, as if he was not angry, so he calmed down a little and patted Ergou's arm: "Leaders, he is Chen Ergou, my grandson, the one you are looking for to sell mushrooms is him." ”
Then he whispered to Chen Ergou: "They are all big officials, be careful when you speak." ”
Chen Ergou was stunned, coupled with his youth and vigor, he really didn't care about these officials, so he nodded at the group. Then I saw a middle-aged man coming over and shaking hands with him cordially: "Little comrade, I have admired my name for a long time." ”
"What's my name?" Chen Ergou laughed twice, "I know you, you are the county magistrate of Hu, and you are famous in the county." ”
County Magistrate Hu is also full of spring breeze, and he can wake up with a smile in his dreams these days. The Japanese businessman Torii Komatsu rushed back only three days later, and then proposed to go into the mountains to investigate, if suitable, to invest in the county to open a matsutake processing factory, although the initial investment is not much, just more than 10 million, but there are other projects in the back, full of political achievements.
Although Mr. Torii never mentioned the results of the test of the two matsutake mushrooms, as a mature cadre who has been tested for a long time, County Magistrate Hu can roughly guess that it must be the first-class quality of matsutake mushrooms, which aroused the interest of the other party. As the so-called businessman pursues profit, he can't afford to make no profit early.
This result is really a bit overjoyed, I can't imagine that there are such resources on the territory under my jurisdiction, how can I not know, if it had been developed two years earlier, maybe it would have been promoted.
It's not too late now, no, County Magistrate Hu has worked tirelessly and led the delegation to come. Of course, I first found the most basic old village chief in Chenjiazhuang, and then I went up the mountain.
Although it is a bit hard to walk all the way, the scenery in this mountain is really good, and the original scene is regarded as an autumn tour.
Laymen look at the excitement, and insiders like Torii Komatsu have secretly started their own investigation projects. From temperature and humidity to climate, to the type and age of the trees, to the thickness of the humus layer above ground, Torii Komatsu knows pretty much everything.
Overall, the environment here has maintained a pristine ecological environment. However, the altitude is too low, and the comprehensive conditions are not as good as some matsutake production areas in China, let alone Shangri-La. This made him feel a little incredible: it stands to reason that such an environment can't give birth to that kind of god-level matsutake mushroom, are those two just special cases?
County Magistrate Hu didn't know what kind of shock the two matsutake mushrooms brought to him after Torii Komatsu returned to China. The test results showed that the beneficial substances contained in matsutake mushrooms were much higher than those of other matsutake mushrooms, especially the content of matsutake alcohol, which was even more amazing. The biggest effect of matsutake alcohol is anti-cancer and anti-tumor.
The most amazing thing is that until all the tests were completed, it had been another two days, and the shelf life of the two matsutake mushrooms had far exceeded 72 hours. The most difficult thing to deal with in the matsutake industry is the problem of preservation.
In this way, Torii Komatsu is no longer calm, he can't take Qiao, and he rushes back with a burning buttocks, you know, the island country is the country that most respects matsutake mushrooms in the world. It is said that after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, matsutake mushrooms were the only species that could grow in the ruins, reflecting the strong radiation resistance of matsutake mushrooms, and what the island people are most afraid of, the most afraid of nuclear radiation, so it is worshiped as a god fungus by the island people.
Chen Ergou was chatting happily with the county magistrate when he saw a small man coming over, bowing deeply to him, with a large amplitude, and muttering bird language that he didn't understand.
What do you mean? Chen Ergou was a little blind.
After asking the interpreter, County Magistrate Hu said, "Little comrade, Mr. Torii would like to ask you to lead us to the forest to pick matsutake mushrooms, the kind you sold last time. Mr. Torii wants to invest in the matsutake industry in the prefecture, and when the time comes, everyone in your village can pick matsutake mushrooms to make money and become well-off as soon as possible. ”
"Really!" Chen Ergou jumped eight high, wandering around the mountains in the past two days, but I didn't see matsutake mushrooms, one fifty, ten is five hundred, one hundred is five thousand, make a fortune, make a fortune -
Suddenly feeling that his belly was slapped twice, Chen Ergou came to his senses, lowered his head and grinned at Ma Fenghou: "Master Monkey, we are going to get rich!" ”
While staying - Marquis Ma Fenghou waved his little paw at him impatiently, and then looked up at the torii Komatsu: I didn't expect it to be an old acquaintance, this guy is not a good bird!
