Chapter 46 Strains
Pick some wild mushrooms and stew a little stupid chicken, the taste must be quite good!
Nie Yun and Tian Zhen had eaten stewed chicken with wild mushrooms in the ancient city restaurant before, and the taste was naturally very good. However, in Nie Yun's opinion, the wild mushroom stewed chicken made in the restaurant has faded from the pure game, after all, it is necessary to take care of the taste needs of different customers, and I am afraid that it is not as pure as what I make at home.
Besides, Tian Zhen's cooking skills are already good, this girl seems to be born to be able to go to the kitchen, if it is Tian Zhen's stewed chicken with wild mushrooms, it will definitely not be inferior to the chef of the restaurant!
Moreover, fresh wild mushrooms are always a little better than dried wild mushrooms in restaurants.
"How many wild mushrooms are there in the mountains now? It's not bad to go up and pick some! ”
Nie Yun said to Tian Zhen.
"It's a little bit more when it rains, but even if it doesn't rain, there's some on the back side of the mountain. Now I guess there are quite a few, if you wait another month or two, the weather will be cold, and there will be no mushrooms! Tian Zhen replied.
"Okay, let's go up and pick some mushrooms, go back and buy another rooster this year, and stew it in a pot to eat at night." It seems that the two days have cooled down a little, and it is good to eat little stupid chicken stewed mushroom soup! Nie Yun said, greeted the charcoal ball, took Tian Zhen, and walked towards the top of the mountain.
The hill is not too steep, Nie Yun has a good physique, and there is no problem in climbing the mountain. And Tian Zhen used to go up the mountain every day, and this mountain road was not a problem, but in a moment, the two of them and a dog had reached the top of the mountain.
The top of the hill is relatively flat and continuous, and after walking from this hill for a while, you will reach the top of another mountain. In late autumn, the weeds on the mountain have not yet withered and are still lush, and occasionally you can see a few huge rocks exposed on the top of the mountain.
There is a small pine forest on the other side of San'in, and the pine trees are not very large, but they are only twenty or thirty centimeters in diameter, and there are already some pine cones between the branches.
Among these pine trees, Nie Yun even found that there were a few squirrels jumping!
This is the first time Nie Yun has seen a little squirrel in the wild, the little thing is about the same size as a big mouse, with a fluffy tail, all gray or flower colored, with two big smart eyes, extremely cute.
These squirrels are not afraid to see people, but just circle around the trunk of the pine tree.
"There are squirrels here, I thought our country was seriously polluted, and these wild animals can really only be seen in the deep mountains and old forests!" Nie Yun stared at these little squirrels intently, and smiled casually at Tian Zhen.
"Squirrels have always been there!"
Tian Zhen said.
"But there was a time in the past few years when there were a lot fewer squirrels, and in the past two years there have been more squirrels. Also, I heard my grandfather say that when he was young, there were no pheasants in the mountains at all, and they only appeared in the past few years. Maybe a few years ago, pheasants stayed in the mountains......"
Nie Yun thought about it, although there are many fewer national-level wild protected animals, ordinary wild creatures such as pheasants and hares are still not extinct.
Also in Ludong Province, I went to climb Mount Tai before, and I also saw squirrels. In addition, in the past two years, it has been repeatedly reported on TV that wild boars and bears have run down the mountain, destroyed farmland, and killed livestock. In fact, when you think about it, wild animals are not far away from you, but you have been in the city before, which is why you make a fuss.
Many children in the city have never even seen a big white goose or a donkey......
"Sit down and rest for a while, and then let's go into the pine forest and look for wild mushrooms or something!" Nie Yun said, and sat down on a big mountain rock.
"Hmm!" Tian Zhen nodded and sat down as well.
But just after sitting for a while, Tian Zhen stood up again, glanced at Nie Yun, his face flushed, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just said to Tanqiu: "Tanqiu, come with me!" However, he turned to the back of a large mountain rock, and let the charcoal ball stay next to the big mountain rock and guard.
Nie Yun watched Tian Zhen walk over there with some confusion, and was about to go over curiously to see what was going on, but he vaguely heard the sound of dripping water......
"This ......" Nie Yun was embarrassed for a while.
Tian Zhen just wanted to make it easier, and he still wanted to follow along, and it seemed that his nerves were a little too big......
Sitting back on the big mountain rock, Nie Yun was bored and casually moved a small stone on the ground.
The stone was lowered, and a centipede the length of an index finger appeared, and crawled away quickly......
Under the rocks, centipedes, turtles, and scorpions are very common. These mountain insects can be used in medicine, and they can be regarded as a treasure in the mountains!
After a while, Tian Zhen finished his convenience and walked back with the charcoal ball.
"Alright, let's go look for mushrooms in the woods!" Nie Yun immediately stood up, and in order to avoid embarrassment, he immediately walked towards the small pine forest on the other side of Shanyin. In the mountains below this pine forest, there are not only weeds, but also some pine leaves. Although pine trees do not lose a lot of leaves in autumn, they also shed some dilapidated leaves every year, and there are a lot of them.
As soon as he stepped into the small pine forest, he heard a "clucking" rooster crow, and a colorful pheasant fluttered out from the weeds not far in front of Nie Yun, and flew from one mountain to another.
The sudden appearance of this pheasant startled Nie Yun, and Nie Yun hurriedly grabbed a small pine tree beside him, and then stabilized his figure. Tian Zhen in the back couldn't help but giggle when he saw this situation.
This pheasant cries exactly the same as a domestic chicken, but it is a little smaller, and the rooster coat color is also bright. However, this thing did not fly for a long distance, and it had just flown twenty or thirty meters away before it fell into the weeds.
"Little thing, dare to scare me? Charcoal ball, go chase! ”
Seeing that the pheasant had fallen into the weeds, and the mountain between this hill and that hill was also flat, Nie Yun simply commanded the charcoal ball and quickly ran towards the side where the pheasant landed. However, when he ran to the place where the pheasant landed, he didn't see the shadow of the pheasant at all, Nie Yun and the charcoal ball searched everywhere and couldn't find it, so he couldn't help but stare at it with big eyes, and he was very puzzled.
"Hahaha......"
Tian Zhen in the back was already trembling with laughter.
"Uncle Nie, although the pheasants don't fly far, after they land, they will not stop, but will immediately spread their legs and run away. The speed is not slower than the charcoal ball, and when you run over, it doesn't know where it is going......" Tian Zhen explained to Nie Yun.
Nie Yun's old face couldn't help but turn red.
I thought that pheasants and grasshoppers were about the same, and grasshoppers didn't fly far, and after landing, they stayed there and flew again when people passed. Nie Yun thought that pheasants were also this special surname, but he didn't expect that other pheasants were not so stupid, they would wait for someone to catch them after they landed, and their running ability was the same as that of ostriches.
"Forget it, don't chase it, go mushroom picking!" Nie Yun said with some frustration.
No matter how good your physical fitness is, there is no need to compete with pheasants.
To deal with pheasants, the most important thing is to rely on wisdom, no matter how strong their running and flying are, in the winter when the snow covers the mountains, with a handful of grain mixed with pesticides, is it not directly knocked down?
Now is not the time to catch pheasants and hares, it is better for me to obediently go to pick mushrooms with Tian Zhen!
Entering the small pine forest again, Tian Zhen specially looked for damp places in the shade, which were the easiest places to breed mushrooms. The humus formed by the decay of pine branches and weeds is the best nutrient soil for mushrooms. The mushrooms that grow here have a rosin flavor that has a unique flavor.
I don't know if these naturally fermented nutrient soils have any effect on the germination of tassel seeds...... When you go back, you can bring a little experiment.
When it comes to wild mushrooms, Nie Yun basically doesn't know anything.
Except for knowing that the brighter mushrooms are generally poisonous and can't be eaten, the rest of Nie Yun doesn't know at all. Nie Yun also knows the common artificially cultivated edible mushrooms such as oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms.
Fortunately, Tian Zhen knew that from time to time he picked out fat little mushrooms from some shady places. The mushrooms he picked were still clean, so he used Nie Yun's coat to carry them.
"Huh? It seems that there were a lot of mushrooms growing here before, but unfortunately...... It's all rotten......"
After picking for half an hour, there were already half a catty of mushrooms, and Tian Zhen suddenly found that a small pile of mushrooms in front of him was rotten, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity.
Mushrooms grow fast and rot fast. Nie Yun still remembers that when he was a child, he was in his hometown, and sometimes when it rained in the summer, small mushrooms grew in some places such as the corner, and within two days, these mushrooms rotted into a puddle. The growth cycle is particularly short, so it is normal to see rotten mushrooms when picking mushrooms.
Nie Yun stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, he saw that the caps of these mushrooms were all rotten, and only the stems were left. Rotten mushrooms can breed some toxins and are not edible.
Speaking of which, mushrooms belong to fungi, and ordinary plants belong to two completely different factions. Nie Yun suddenly thought, I don't know if my spirit wood pupil can see the aura in the mushroom!
Thinking in his heart, Nie Yun directly opened the Lingmu Pupil state.
Using the spirit wood pupil to look at these mushroom stalks, Nie Yun found that on these stalks, there was plenty of spiritual energy, although the stalks were not like the branches of big trees, there were spiritual veins in them, but a small stipe seemed to be a spiritual vein!
And at the same time as his gaze moved down to the ground after the mushroom had rotted, Nie Yunhu's figure was shocked, and a shocked expression appeared on his face. Because Nie Yun found that on this piece of soil that carried rotten mushrooms, surrounded by aura, it was actually three points more abundant than the aura in the special nutrient soil that had more than eighty percent of the germination he had seen before!
