Chapter 290: Wild Mountain Mushroom Hot Pot
In the fourth place of space, Li Youran stood next to the wooden frame, looking at the first batch of various mushrooms growing on the wood, and his heart was filled with the joy of a bumper harvest.
Although edible mushrooms are not as verdant and eye-catching as the green crops in other plots, they have unique shapes, different sizes, and various postures, which also have a unique taste.
The yellow-brown morel mushroom looks very special, and the strange mushroom cap on the white stipe is pitted and uneven, very similar to a sheep's tripe, from which the name of morel mushroom is derived.
The dark purple-brown umbel-shaped delicious porcini mushroom, also known as Bigfoot mushroom or white porcini mushroom, its biggest feature is that the lower surface of the mushroom cap is not a piece of fungus folds, but a dense small needle eye, and the mushroom cap is a little sponge when pinched. According to the data, the darker the color of the cap of this edible mushroom, the stronger the aroma and the higher the grade when cooking.
The light yellow lion's mane fungus, a spherical fruiting body, has a fluffy appearance, and is as cute as a small monkey's head, hence the name.
In addition, there is a red mushroom with a large red and purple cap, which is flat, about eight centimeters in diameter, and concave in the middle. The folds are thick and silvery-gray.
With the addition of chicken leg mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms, there are now a total of six edible mushrooms.
Mushrooms reproduce by spores, which will fall off the folds when they mature, and if the surrounding environment is suitable, they can grow on their own, without the need to sow mycelium.
These six edible mushrooms have different requirements for the environment and nutrients they grow in the real world, but they are so consistent in the fourth plot of space, healthy and strong, people can't help but admire the magic of space.
Li Youran took a bamboo basket. Start picking this first crop of fresh mushrooms, get together, and prepare for a mushroom feast in the evening. Since I got the space, I have eaten a lot of colorful vegetables, and this time I changed the taste and tried the pure wild edible mushrooms.
He was very impressed by the shiitake mushrooms and chicken leg mushrooms he tried last time. The four new bacteria are more advanced than the former, and the taste is very exciting. If there is no problem, you can provide some to the private restaurant later to enrich the dishes.
He picks the largest of each type of mushroom, and takes special care not to hurt the mycelium and young mushrooms next to it.
The mushrooms on the trees are easy to pick. Soon filled half a basket, and went to pick some chicken leg mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms in the field, estimated that there were about five catties in total, and then stopped. After all, this kind of thing is still eaten and picked at any time, and it is best to keep it fresh.
Outside, due to transportation and preservation, most of the edible mushrooms are made into dry goods in the production area, and then opened with water when eating. But in this way, the umami flavor characteristic of the mushroom itself has been lost.
After the harvest, he asked Aung Aung to spray the wooden rack and the mushroom bed again to keep them moist.
Then, Li leisurely carried the bamboo basket, returned to the entrance, and exited the space.
Look at the quartz clock on the bedroom wall, it's already past four o'clock in the afternoon, it's time to prepare. He carried the bamboo basket downstairs directly, went to the kitchen to find Uncle Qi, and asked him to arrange for the man to wash the basket of fresh mushrooms and cut them into pieces. Refrigerate and set aside. In addition, prepare some other spice side dishes.
After explaining the matter, Li Youran returned to the office on the second floor of the South Store, sat on the office chair, took out his mobile phone and dialed Luo Fatzi.
"Fatty, where are you resting?"
"It's work time, where are you resting, where do I have you kid cool. Tired as a donkey all day long. Luo Fatzi said dissatisfiedly.
"Hehe, I didn't see you reduce the amount of water, it seems that there is a lot of oil and water in the canteen. By the way, I'm in for a treat at night, do you want to come? ”
"Oh. You kid has a treat, it's definitely not bad, go, why don't you go. By the way, what to eat, is there any steamed anchovy or something? "Luo Fatzi knows Li Youran well, so he naturally won't miss it.
"Well, I said that you think about my good fish all day long, won't you do it differently? Let you, Director Tang, call a few revolutionary comrades-in-arms to come to a private restaurant to open a Grade A working meal, and then you will report and report your work together, or you will all be alive. Li leisurely reminded that this fat man sometimes really doesn't turn his brain. …,
"Well, that makes sense, I almost forgot, Director Tang seems to have only been there once last month, and I didn't follow something. Yes, but you have to give me an order in advance. Luo Fatzi suddenly realized.
"Okay, I'll give you a back door and make arrangements two days in advance." Li Youran agreed, this convenience can still be given.
Then, he told the fat man that the theme of today's dinner was wild mushroom hot pot, and asked Luo Fatzi to say hello to Fang Cheng and Huzi, and come over together after finishing work.
Luo Fatzi was very interested when he heard this, and he agreed to it. Wild mushrooms are a very fashionable natural and healthy food genre in the city nowadays, but unfortunately many restaurants under the banner of wild actually use artificial mushrooms. Ranzi is a food professional, and what he can do is definitely very different.
At half past seven o'clock in the evening, after the bun shop closed, a large rectangular dining table was put together in the center of the hall of the north store, and a large electric hot pot was set up in the center of the table, in which special water was added, garlic, ginger, green onions, chili peppers, wolfberries, chestnut kernels, red dates and peppercorns were added, and they were heated over medium heat.
Next to the hot pot, there are all kinds of cut morels, porcini mushrooms, lion's mane mushrooms, red mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, chicken leg mushrooms, small rape, small cabbage, shepherd's cabbage, radish, bitter gourd, oil and wheat cabbage, cowpea, eyebrow peas and other base vegetables, as well as vermicelli, vermicelli, tofu, potato slices and mutton slices, fat beef slices, squid, hairy tripe and other meats.
In addition, there is a small saucer, sesame oil, sesame sauce optional. There is a wide variety of tabletops throughout the table, and it looks like a lot of money.
Li Youran, Luo Fatzi, Sun Xiaoying, Gu Weiwei, Li Fangcheng, Huzi, Uncle Qi, Aunt Qi, and Feng Daniu sat around the table and had dinner together.
As for the other managers, they are not in the store for their own affairs, so they can only miss this opportunity.
"Ranzi, where did you buy these wild mushrooms, there will be no problem, right? I've read in the newspapers that there have been several cases of poisoning from eating wild mushrooms. Gu Weiwei remembered the report and asked with trepidation.
"Weiwei, if you want to say that you eat mushrooms, you are a layman, do you know what these are? Morel mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, and chicken leg mushrooms are all valuable items among wild mushrooms, and they are not cheap in the market. "Because of his work, Luo Fatzi still has some insight in this regard.
"Yes, Director Gu, I used to eat these mushrooms in the countryside and picked them in the forest, but now they can't do it, and there are fewer and fewer of them." Uncle Qi remembered the rich products in the mountains and forests of his hometown in the past, and he was quite emotional.
"Sister Weiwei, we came out of the countryside, and we knew what kind of mushrooms we could eat and what we couldn't eat when we were young, and we never said anything about poisoning." Li Fangcheng was a little proud when he talked about this, identifying mushrooms, wild fruits and other foods, which is the innate ability of country children.
Others also agreed, and Gu Weiwei was relieved.
"Okay, the water is boiling, put the mushrooms." Li greeted leisurely.
Everyone stood up and tossed the various mushrooms from the plate in front of them into the pot.
Sun Xiaoying picked up a plate of small rape and was about to throw it into the soup, but was stopped by Li Youran waving his hand.
"There is a special thing about eating mushroom hot pot, mushrooms are a treasure in the mountains, and the soup boiled is the essence, so you must drink the original soup first, and then eat the mushroom meat. After eating, you can start to shake other meat and vegetables, and if you are too impatient, it will ruin the umami taste of the mushroom. Li leisurely explained.
"Yes, it turns out that we picked mushrooms from the mountains, made a small pot with some salt, and cooked them like this, and they are very fragrant." Huzi nodded in agreement.
Put the mushrooms in the pot, cover them and start waiting, the edible mushrooms must be fully cooked before eating.
"I've heard that wild mushrooms are rich in nutrients, can improve immunity, and have anti-cancer effects. But there are fewer and fewer real wild mountain mushrooms, Ranzi, are you really wild? Luo Fatzi asked. …,
"Of course, you'll find out in a moment. By the way, mushrooms also have a beauty effect, you ladies should eat a little more, it is beneficial. Li said with a smile.
Ten minutes passed, and Uncle Qi lifted the lid of the pot.
In an instant, a strong and rich aroma with the smell of mountains and wilderness quickly spread, like substance, enveloping all the people at the table.
"Well, it's so fragrant, much stronger than what we produce in our hometown." Feng Daniu closed his eyes and inhaled greedily.
"This fresh mushroom is better than dry food, it's so rare." Aunt Qi also praised.
"Drink the soup, this soup is the freshest." Li leisurely beckoned everyone to scoop up the soup.
Aunt Qi and her family got started and served a bowl to everyone present.
Everyone couldn't wait to pick it up and start tasting.
As soon as you eat the hot, fresh and sweet soup, you will feel refreshed, your taste buds will be opened, and your forehead will be sweaty; When the soup enters the throat, the heat spreads, and the whole body is comfortable.
"Good soup, delicious." Everyone praised.
After drinking the soup, I began to take out the cooked mushrooms and dip them in the ingredients.
Although the taste of several mushrooms is different, the meat of the mushroom meat is delicate, refreshing and smooth, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant after eating, which is the common characteristic.
Moreover, mushrooms do not rot for a long time after being put into the pot, which is also one of the characteristics of wild edible mushrooms.
The taste quickly conquered everyone present, and the first batch of wild mushrooms was quickly eliminated, and the second batch began after adding water, making the soup more mellow and delicious.
As a result, not only were all the mushrooms eaten, but everyone also drank several bowls of soup, which made Aunt Qi water several times in a row.
After eating the mushrooms, the vegetables and meat are eaten. There are a few fresh soups in the pot as the base, and the vegetables, tofu, sliced meat, etc. have also become very different from usual.
Luo Fatzi even said that he was very happy, saying that this is the taste of mountain treasures, which is much stronger than the few high-end restaurants he has been to before.
Gu Weiwei also said that she never knew that mushrooms could be so delicious, and what she usually eats at home, that is, her mother buys some oyster mushrooms from the farmers' market and stir-fries them with shredded meat, which is actually quite tasteless.
"Weiwei, the oyster mushrooms sold in the vegetable market are originally the cheapest edible mushrooms, and they are still cultivated in large quantities artificially, how can they compare with this, the difference is too far." Luo Fatzi explained to her.
"Don't just chat, you have to finish the vegetables and meat, don't waste such a good base." Li leisurely continued to greet.
As a result, after a meal, most people overeat, leaning on the back of the chair and not wanting to move.
Gu Weiwei frowned, worried about her figure. Luo Fatzi was really empathetic, and hurriedly comforted her, saying that mushrooms and vegetables are low in calories and fat-free, and no matter how much you eat, you won't gain weight, but they can also play a beauty role.
