Yang Huairen became more and more aware that there were actually many treasures in the mountains, especially for him as a cook, these dried mushrooms of various kinds were very precious ingredients.

In fact, in the Song Dynasty, a large number of edible mushrooms have become common food ingredients for the common people, and there has even been a scientific way to obtain this ingredient by artificial cultivation.

In addition to mushrooms, there are many similar fungal ingredients, such as black fungus, white fungus, etc., and some are used as medicinal materials, such as poria cocos, lichen, cordyceps sinensis and so on.

However, compared with later generations, there were still relatively few types of edible mushrooms at that time, and the most common ones were only several edible types of ear mushrooms and mouth mushrooms.

Mushrooms with higher nutritional value, such as morel mushrooms and chicken fir mushrooms, are eaten relatively little, the reason is very simple, these mushrooms have not been artificially cultivated, and most of them grow in the inaccessible deep mountains and old forests, so there are not many that can be seen in the world, and the regionality is also very strong.

But the benefits of eating mushrooms for people can not be ignored, they are rich in protein and a variety of amino acids, as well as other nutrients and trace elements required by the human body, and there are some nutrients that our ordinary food dietary intake does not have.

Yang Huairen recalled everything he had seen just now when he wandered around this village, and suddenly understood what was the difference between this place and the several villages in the mountains that he had seen before.

There are many elderly people in this village, and the proportion is also very high, which shows that people who eat mushrooms regularly will really live a long life.

Because of the unique natural conditions, the people in this village can often eat these precious mushrooms, so the health of the population in the whole village is much better than that of the outside world, although their ethnic group is not large, but their continuous development and expansion of the population has a lot to do with the regular consumption of mushrooms.

Yang Huairen felt that this discovery was more important than the previous black truffle, although the black truffle is a good thing, but after all, it is still relatively difficult to collect at present, and the number that can be obtained is too small, it is still unrealistic to popularize it to the general public.

However, the various species of mushrooms in these mountains are different, they have more and wider branches in the mountains, and the yield is relatively large, if they can be produced by artificial cultivation, the amount that can be obtained is still considerable.

Although villagers like Bacha also think that these dried mushrooms are treasures, in their consciousness, they pay more attention to the property that these mushrooms can be exchanged for money, which is an economic value, while Yang Huairen pays more attention to their nutritional value and the more benefits they can bring to the entire Song people.

The most intuitive thing is that the medical conditions of the Song people are not so good, and the common people are most afraid of getting sick.

People are prone to disease, in addition to the congenital inheritance of physical fitness, the most critical is the physical reasons caused by eating habits, the most representative, is like the ordinary people of the Great Song Dynasty, the overall immunity is still relatively low.

In particular, some children and the elderly may be nothing more than a case of typhoid fever, because their own constitution is weak and their immunity is poor, and it is easy to kill these people.

And if more mushrooms can be brought to the dining table of the common people of the Great Song Dynasty, this may be improved to some extent.

Thinking of this, Yang Huairen seemed to be very excited, and said eagerly to Bacha, "I also want these dried mushrooms you stored, and I will definitely not let you suffer in terms of price." ”

Bacha also became excited when he heard this, today his grandfather Yang Huairen talked about the business of Panasonic Bao, and the whole village was already very happy to know about it, and now even these dried mushrooms have found a better market, and he is even more happy.

"Really? That's great, Matsushita Bao can not pick many of them every year, but there are a lot of these mushroom mountains that can be picked every year, and the mules and horses of the guests are probably going to come three or four times a year to be transported. ”

Yang Huairen smiled and shook his head, "This is still too little, I want a lot, a lot." ”

"Huh?"

Bacha was a little surprised, "Then we're going to be tired." ”

Hearing this, Yang Weiren seemed to think of something, so he asked, "Bacha, do you mean, do you mean that there are people in your village who know how to cultivate these mountain mushrooms?" ”

Bacha nodded, and shook his head again after a while, making Yang Huairen also confused.

Yang Huairen himself is a cook, and he also has a certain amount of knowledge for some simple vegetable cultivation and livestock breeding, so he can still grow vegetables in his own village.

But cultivating mushrooms is a bit difficult for him, and he understands some of the general principles, but how to operate them, then he is really a layman.

Bacha thought for a moment and explained, "Actually, what I want to say is that our clan still has a few villages in the surrounding area, and those villages can also collect and dry a lot of these mountain mushrooms every year, and if everyone is mobilized to go to the mountains to collect them, it is said that the number of mushrooms that can be collected can be doubled compared to now."

If you want more, it's not impossible, there are also a few old hunters in our village, and they also know some ways to 'grow' mountain mushrooms, but because there is no shortage of this thing in the mountains, they also occasionally 'plant' some of the types they like to eat, and how much they can 'plant', Bacha can't say. ”

Yang Huairen was overjoyed when he heard this, someone will cultivate these precious mountain mushrooms, they have the ability to cultivate a small piece, then they will definitely be able to cultivate a large area, and the mountain environment is good, and there are many woodlands suitable for breeding mountain mushrooms.

If he could learn these skills, Yang Huairen even felt that he could buy or rent a large piece of mountain woodland from the toast in the mountains and hire people to do the work of breeding mushrooms.

He excitedly grabbed Bacha's shoulders and laughed, "Bacha, this is great! Take me to the people you say will 'grow' mushrooms, and I'm going to make a big deal with them! ”

Although Bacha didn't figure out why Yang Huairen was so happy, he was still infected by that excitement, and he also became happy.

"It's not impossible to take you to find someone, but if you want to talk about business, it's better to wait until my grandfather returns to the village in the evening, you talk to my grandfather, he is the patriarch of our clan, and if there is anything, only if he makes a decision, the clan will listen."

"Okay, let's wait for your grandfather to come back and talk," Yang Huairen pointed to the dried mushrooms stored in the barn and said, "Then I bought all these dried mushrooms, let's eat mushrooms tonight, I'll have a treat!" ”
