Chapter 123: Farewell
This time into the mountain was a successful end, and everyone hurried out of the ghost fog forest while the night had not yet fallen. Miao Huo and the others originally wanted to spend the night by the waterhole where they caught fish and ate at noon, but the fifth uncle did not agree. It is very dangerous to spend the night by the river, when many animals come to drink water, and when they see people resting, they are likely to attack suddenly.
When he returned to the pine forest the next day, the little squirrel suddenly climbed up the tree and jumped into the distance, barking as if calling to his companion.
"What does the little squirrel want to do?" Wen Qiu asked.
Everyone shook their heads, even if Chu Quanqiang has the ability to get close to animals, it is difficult to understand the meaning of animals, and sometimes, their behavior is not something that humans can understand.
After a while, a large group of squirrels of all sizes gathered. The little squirrels barked at the squirrels, and the other squirrels seemed to be a little reluctant, and some jumped up and down the trees restlessly. A group of squirrels exchanged for about ten minutes before the squirrels who had rushed over slowly retreated.
"The little squirrel is saying goodbye to everyone!" Liu Yang said.
Professor Wen said, "Every animal is actually divided into tribes. This little squirrel should not have a low status in this mountain forest, which is why it is like this. The little squirrel returned to Chu Jiaqiang's shoulder in a low mood, and looked a little sad. Chu Jiaqiang touched it and said, "If you are not reluctant, why not stay?" ”
The little squirrel thought sideways, and he didn't know if he understood Chu Jiaqiang's words, or if he had already understood and was thinking about gains and losses.
"There are usually a lot of mountain mushrooms here, since you are here, let's collect some and go back!" The fifth uncle said.
When everyone heard this, they began to pick up mushrooms, and there were many kinds of mushrooms. The most of them are shiitake mushrooms and thick mushrooms, which are the most commonly eaten mushrooms.
The normal shiitake mushroom body is round and straight, the mushroom umbrella is thick, the cover surface is smooth, and the quality is not broken: the hand guards the fungus stalk with a hard feeling, and the mushroom umbrella is immediately puffed up after letting go: the color is yellow-brown, and the folds under the mushroom umbrella should be tight and fine white 1 The fungus stalk is short and stout: there are aroma without scorched tablets, rain shower tablets, mold moth and debris in the distance.
The umbrella surface of the thick mushroom has no huā lines, and it is millet and slightly shiny: the flesh is thick and tender, the flowers are slightly larger, and the edges are cracked more.
"Mushroom growth is very concentrated, often growing in clusters, just spread out, pay attention to safety." The fifth uncle said.
Professor Wen added: "Some mushrooms are poisonous, so you should see clearly when you pick them. "Those mushrooms are poisonous?" Ye Xiaoshuang asked that she had known that some mushrooms were poisonous mushrooms, and the incident of mushroom poisoning was often mentioned on the news.
The fifth uncle almost forgot that they were all from the city, and they went into the mountains to pick few mushrooms and had no experience. When he heard Professor Wen's reminder, he was also shocked and sweated, if these people picked poisonous mushrooms and went back, it would be a big deal. He hurriedly said, "Yes, some mushrooms can't be eaten. Poisonous mushrooms are bright in color, often red, green, and yellow, and the mushroom center is abruptly undulating, and the mushroom umbrella often has variegated spots, and there are filaments or small pieces of residue or scales on the surface. ”
Professor Wen nodded and continued: "In addition, mushrooms are strangely shaped, such as slender or thick stems, thick and hard mushroom surfaces, like trumpets, human heads, umbrellas, etc. Even if the color is normal, it is mostly poisonous mushrooms. Seeing that everyone was starting to look for mushrooms, the little squirrel was in high spirits again. No one knew this forest better than it, it jumped off Chu Jiaqiang's shoulder and pointed in a direction, asking Chu Jiaqiang to follow.
"It's different to have a helper! The speed is a lot. ,… Miao Huo said.
The fifth uncle also smiled, and even he liked this little squirrel very much. Everyone follows the small
The squirrel went away and soon came to a shady place, where the pine trees were more lush, but the ground was more damp.
The little squirrel stopped, then pointed ahead. Everyone looked over, and the fifth uncle and the others all showed a touch of surprise on their faces.
"Haha! It's actually pine mushrooms, which are more difficult to find, and they are indeed a good thing. Old man Li said.
In addition to the general mushroom growing conditions, pine mushrooms must also grow together with pine trees, symbiotic with pine roots, and their growth environment is shady or semi-shady slope pine forests. The flesh of the matsutake mushroom is fat, and the taste is delicious and smooth. It not only has excellent flavor and attractive fragrance, but also is a nutritious edible mushroom, which has the reputation of "the king of edible mushrooms", no less than monkey's head and Ganoderma lucidum, and Europe and the United States regard it as a treasure.
Many of the people present were people who knew how to eat, and they immediately discovered the preciousness of this pine mushroom.
Miao Huo said with some taste: "Brother, you already have a bamboo rat at home who can hunt for treasures, how about this squirrel be given to me?" "He's really excited, not to mention that this little squirrel can also hunt for treasures.
The spirituality in it alone is enough to kill many people in seconds, and the wives and children at home must like it.
"Huh! As long as it's willing to go with you, I don't care. Chu Jiaqiang smiled, he would not force animals.
"The handle of this mushroom is so big, and the umbrella is so small! Ye Xiaoshuang pulled up one plant, looked at it and said.
"Huh! The pine mushroom is like this, it is usually a little difficult to find, it has great requirements for pine forests, and it is often necessary to find old pine forests to find them. Old man Li said.
"It's a pity that it's missing." Wen Qiu said a little greedily, the pine mushrooms here will be gone after two or three meals.
"It's a surprisingly large number this time, and you usually laugh when you find a meal to eat." Professor Wen looked at his nephew and smiled bitterly.
Chu Jiaqiang's heart moved, and he wondered if he would also transfer some to the mountains and rivers map when he was free in the future? But then I thought that there seems to be no shortage of pine mushrooms in the mountain and river map, and there are many forests growing in it, and the quality is much better than this.
If you want to eat it, you can get some of it, and you don't dare to take out other things, and the pine mushroom is still not a big problem. The explanation is even better, under the guise of entering the mountain, just take the little squirrel in. Credits are thrown at a squirrel that can't speak, and who would doubt it?
Subsequently, the little squirrel took everyone to a few places, this little guy really knows how to eat, so he picked pine mushrooms to start, and the usual mushrooms are not eye-catching.
It's not eye-catching, but the fifth uncle still asked everyone to pick up some more. In the end, he packed two bags of snakeskin bags brought by Chu Jiaxiong, which seemed to be a lot, but after drying, it was only half a bag.
As soon as everyone was about to leave, they found a large group of squirrels gathered again, as if they were all holding things, such as wild fruits, pine nuts, walnuts, chestnuts, and so on.
"Ahem! It can't be a send-off, right? "Everyone was thundered.
The little squirrels took them one by one and asked the owner to help them put them up. The little guy has a lot of things, and a cloth bag is full. Everyone left under the watchful eye of many squirrels, and no one opened their mouths to break the atmosphere of parting.
Back at Qingshui Bay, everyone began to bring the crystals they had found two days ago, and then went straight to Chujiazhai, and the trip to find the tiger was over. For everyone, it was a lot of gains, except for the thrill on the way, everyone else was very satisfied.
