Chapter 15 Bamboo Forest
Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and in fact, summer rain is no less beautiful.
The summer heat was swept away by the torrential rain last night, and some of the dry fields were revived, and the whole world seemed to be washed away.
I like this morning the most than the frogs in the fields, when the rice seedlings in the fields are already knee-high, which is the soil on which the frogs live, and they like the rainy season the most to express their joy with loud calls, which also indicates that it is a wonderful morning.
As soon as the sky was bright, Qiubai had already begun to prepare, changed the clothes on his body, and wore a vest and big pants, for rural babies, this is the ultimate combat equipment, if you are afraid of the locusts in the field, then you can wear rain boots, but Qiubai has never been sucked by locusts since he was a child, so he is not worried about this.
After changing clothes, Qiubai rummaged in the house for a long time, found a dusty gauze and bamboo basket, as well as a dustpan, the bamboo basket was behind his back, looked at the sky, and set off with his equipment.
Last night's heavy rain made the water level in the field skyrocket, and there was a flood of water everywhere, and there may be loaches and yellow cockroaches in this kind of water flow that like to play the game of rapids, if you are lucky, lobster and crab can also be caught, and if you are lucky, you can meet fish, if you are lucky, then congratulations, you can even catch Wang Ba, which is extremely rare, which is also drilled out of the reservoir upstream, the number is very small, Qiubai has only heard of it once, and there are still people talking about it, Maybe someone will remember it for a long, long time, just like the autumn white hook to the black evil.
Turn right out of the yard and there is a bamboo forest, the bamboo forest is crisscrossed by small streams, some of which are overflowing from shallow rivers, and some of which are stagnant water in the bamboo forest, which is the most likely place for prey.
Qiubai is lucky, it seems that he has been lucky since he returned to his hometown, just walked over and saw a yellow cockroach in the stream, fine and tail finger about the same, Qiubai's eyes lit up, quietly stepped forward, the dustpan went up along the water, put the yellow cockroach in the dustpan, and then threw the lively yellow cockroach into the bamboo basket.
"Luck is not bad, it seems that in recent years, young people have gone out to work, and no one has caught them, so there are more loaches and yellow beetles." Qiu Bai Mei thought to herself.
Due to the large number of young people who have gone out to work in recent years, the rural labor force has decreased, such as the rest of Repulse Bay are either old or young, and the young people are only one in autumn.
The swelling water level of the shallow river has brought abundant fish to the bamboo forest, like loaches and yellow pythons like to stay in the vicinity of this flowing water, the sound of the water flow also covers the sound of Qiubai walking, so that they can only be stupidly become Qiubai's bag, less than five minutes, Qiubai's bamboo basket has more than a dozen loaches, three yellow turtles, the harvest is quite good.
"Huh? What is that? ”
Qiu Bai had just walked through a place, but his eyes glanced at the distance and seemed to be a little white, a little confused, and subconsciously retreated.
The two mushrooms stayed there quietly, there were still a few drops of dew on the mushroom surface, Qiubai saw them, and couldn't help but be happy, even if he had just caught so many loaches and yellow eels, he was not so happy now, it was actually a pointed mushroom, which was a good thing.
There are many names for the spire mushroom, what fighting mushroom, three-legged mushroom, anyway, it should be it, as for the scientific name Qiubai, I really don't know, it is a fungus that is specialized in Shu.
This kind of spire mushroom tastes extremely delicious, especially in stewed soup, and the most valuable thing is that this kind of mushroom has not been artificially cultivated until now, only naturally grown, so the number is very small, and the environment it needs is also quite harsh, except for the bamboo forest after the rain can be found occasionally, other places will not appear at all, the price of the spire mushroom has been quite high several years ago, and now its price is higher, it is all about selling flowers, a flower is almost dozens of dollars, usually want to eat and can't eat it.
There is also a legend here in Qiubai, if you encounter the pinnacle mushroom, no matter how big it has grown, it must be picked directly, it should never grow again, and after picking, you have to spit three mouthfuls of saliva in the same place, so that it will grow in the future, otherwise it will never grow here, for this legend, many people are convinced.
As its name suggests, the mushroom has a small spire, which is white, so easy to recognize, and Qiubai will never be mistaken.
Picking the spire mushroom from the ground very carefully, and then spitting there, Qiubai smiled, luck is really unstoppable, it seems that the bamboo forest in Repulse Bay has not been out of the spire mushroom for a long time, how do you know that you can pick it up as soon as you come back, this luck, tsk, I really don't have to say, that's good.
"This rain is really cool, if it rains again in the evening, it will be even more beautiful, tomorrow morning I can pick up two here again, this is a supreme delicacy, stewed duck and stewed chicken is really amazing, no, you must go to the town at noon to buy an old hen to stew." Qiubai was just drooling.
His cooking skills are not good, and the dishes he makes are barely immortal, but with the pinnacle mushroom, he can become a kitchen god at once, this is the magic of the pinnacle mushroom, an old chicken and the pinnacle mushroom is so stewed, as long as you put a little salt is the supreme delicacy, if you can't even put salt, then Qiubai can die.
Qiubai took off his vest and tied it to his waist, and then wrapped the spire mushroom in a vest, which is much more precious than a loach and a yellow toad.
With the harvest of the pinnacle mushroom, Qiubai was quite satisfied, seeing that there should be no more fish in the bamboo forest, he thought about it and walked towards him, he knew that there was a place where there were many lobsters, and it was also the place where crabs and fish were most likely to appear.
Out of the bamboo forest to the upper reaches of the shallow river, you can soon see a reed, similar to a reed, but not a reed, as for the scientific name of Qiubai really don't know, anyway, the people here are called Mao Wei.
The shallow water river is only two or three meters wide, this reed almost covers the entire small river, the terrain here is a little higher, so the water surface is shallower, except for the reed, here is the most a wild plant, the name is peanut vine.
This peanut vine is not related to peanuts, this is a kind of weed, almost everywhere can be seen, usually the most used is rural people cut to feed pigs.
This peanut vine covers the entire shallow water river surface, if it is the dry season, lift the flowering vines, it is easy to see holes one by one in the ground, the holes are all loaches and yellow toads or something, thanks to these peanut vines, the small fish here are extremely rich, many small fish are gnawing on peanut vines in the water, if you stand quietly on the side, you can hear the sound of small fish gnawing.
There are many small fish, there are many lobsters and crabs, because of the existence of peanut vines, this is the place with the most aquatic products in the shallow river, and Qiubai wants to come here to take a look and see if he can catch some lobsters.
It was very hot a few days ago, and it rained again last night, for lobsters, they like it the most when it is cool, maybe they will climb to the top of the peanut vine, and then they can pick up some effortlessly, otherwise they can only rely on people to pick in the hole, laborious and laborious, and the harvest is less.
Qiubai has long wanted to eat Maxiao, especially in summer, drinking cold beer while Maxiao is definitely a great enjoyment, especially for people like Qiubai, thinking of Maxiao's deliciousness, Qiubai involuntarily accelerated his pace.
