Chapter 103: Mountain Treasure Monkey Head
He was paralyzed with a sudden change in painting style, not only stunned Huan, but even his brother He Chongyang was stunned.
He Chongyang looked at his younger brother's smiling face, and he was also confused, why did his brother have such a good attitude towards the little girl in front of him, and he would joke and smile at others?
Although both of them are still teenagers who have just passed the age of ten, the appearance of the two brothers is indeed very pleasing.
In the compound, there was a group of little girls who always followed the two brothers, one gentle and the other cold, but each with its own followers.
He Chongyang has a gentle personality, and can maintain etiquette even when he is bored, and refuses politely.
But He Chongjiu can't do it, it's good to ignore people with a straight face, and if you are impatient, you can directly give the word "roll" to the little girl.
made many little girls in the compound now, and later hid far away when they saw He Chongjiu's black face.
What He Chongjiu said just now when he suddenly changed his painting style, anyway, Duan Huan and He Chongyang couldn't connect, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing now.
He Chongyang proposed to go up the mountain to have a look, and after informing Grandpa Xu, he took the He brothers up the mountain.
The two brothers had just arrived, and Duan Huan didn't plan to take them too far.
Moreover, He Chongyang's posture of walking and climbing the mountain can be seen that he does not practice martial arts, so he can't bear it physically when he runs away.
The three of them went to see the two traps on the periphery of Grandpa Xu's mountain, but they were empty and had nothing to gain.
He Chongyang was quite regretful, "We are unlucky! There is no prey! I thought pheasants and rabbits would always run into one! ”
However, the joy comes with a koi physique, and a trip up the mountain will never be empty.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw a few beige white things growing on the trunk of a tree ten meters away, with thin burrs growing on them.
Jin Huan looked carefully again, and on the other tree opposite this tree, there were also a lot of such off-white spheres.
Moreover, these round spheres are on top of two trees, and each of them is born in pairs at a distance, like two teams of soldiers in white hats facing each other.
Hey! What a bright village!
This white with yellow and long flesh thorns, and it is born in pairs, not a monkey's head?
Hericium erinaceus, that is, Lion's Mane mushroom, is a traditional Chinese precious dish, the meat is tender and fragrant, delicious and delicious.
It is also one of the four famous dishes (monkey's head, bear's paw, sea cucumber, shark's fin), and is known as "mountain monkey's head, seafood bird's nest".
Duan Huan pointed to the monkey mushroom on the tree and said, "Luck is not too good, look what it is!" ”
"Isn't it just a tree, what's so strange!" He Chongyang said with a wistful expression.
He Chongjiu was pleasantly surprised to see the yellow-white orbs on the tree, "It's a monkey head?!" Does Sichuan Province also produce monkey heads? ”
After he was discharged from the hospital with a high fever and pneumonia when he was a child, his body could not return to his previous state for a long time.
Mrs. He sent him to Songshan and asked a grandson to teach him martial arts.
And Mrs. He, the grandson of the world's friends, became a monk in the early years, and returned to the vulgar after the founding of the People's Republic of China for various reasons, but he still maintains the habit of eating fasting and reciting Buddha.
When He Chongjiu was in Songshan, he saw that the master had picked a monkey's head, wasn't it like what it looked like on a tree?
If he hadn't watched Master clean the pot and drink monkey head soup, he would have thought that Master had broken his vows.
Now the delicious taste of the bowl of monkey head soup is still in his mind.
"It doesn't matter if he produces it or not, take it off quickly!" Huan said that good things are in the bag for safety, the most important thing.
There are two tall teenagers here, and they must have done the rough work of climbing trees.
It took about ten minutes to climb up and down, and finally I picked all the big monkey heads from the tree.
The largest one is more than ten centimeters straight, and the smaller one is only the size of Huanhuan's fist.
happily put the monkey heads carefully in his small basket.
After He Chongjiu and others put the lion's mane mushroom away, he took the basket and carried it.
As she walked in front empty-handed, she thought that there was a pheasant that Xiao Jin had brought this morning, and it would be better to add some monkey head stew.
Now that she has picked the monkey's head, the ordinary mushrooms and fungus on the way back can't get into her eyes.
The three of them quickly returned to the house, and before they could enter the door, they shouted into the house, "Zuzu, come quickly, what do you see we brought back?" ”
Grandpa Xu came out of the hall, then took the basket in He Chongjiu's hand, looked at the basket of white raw and fluffy lion's mane mushrooms and nodded.
"You babies, you're lucky, the fungus is as good as this monkey's head, I'm afraid there is only truffles!"
Huan Huan hugged Grandpa Xu's arm, "Ancestor, you haven't said how to eat yet?" Is chicken stew good? ”
"You're the most energetic eater!" Grandpa Xu pinched Duan Huan's nose, "It just so happened that Xiao Jin caught a chicken and came back in the morning, and added some monkey head to stew!" ”
Duan Huan nodded hurriedly and said: "Don't you always say that life is only a few decades, and you can't start over when you die.
I'm sure I'm going to eat all the food in the world, it's not a trip for nothing! ”
"The dead girl's mouth is chewing, I'm letting you have time to study hard, don't waste time, you're good, just remember to eat!" Grandpa Xu immediately knocked on a popping chestnut.
He shook Grandpa Xu's arm with a smile and a flattering expression.
Who let Grandpa Xu be the chef, it's not shameful to be cute for the sake of food.
Grandpa Xu took a few monkey heads and rinsed them slightly, then added salt water to soak the monkey heads, and then instructed He Chongjiu to chop the chicken into small pieces.
He Chongyang volunteered to help make a fire under the stove.
There was nothing left for Huanhuan to do, so she consciously ran to the vegetable patch in the yard and plucked a ginger and two shallots, and the stewed chicken would definitely be able to be used for a while.
Grandpa Xu went to the warehouse and took out a ham, which he bought on the black market last time, and said it was an authentic Jinhua ham.
I haven't eaten it since I bought it, and I hung it in the warehouse, and now I take it out except for a little gray, but it hasn't changed at all.
Grandpa Xu chopped off the two ends of the ham with a machete, and the two ends were called "fire claws" and "dripping oil" respectively.
"Dripping oil" is the front end of the ham, and because the ham is hung upside down, it is the heaviest part of the whole ham, and the stew is the most delicious.
In addition to the bones and tendons, the "fire claw" will not be soft without a long time of stewing, so the "fire claw" is only suitable for stew.
Grandpa Xu took the bamboo brush handle on the stove, carefully cleaned the two pieces of ham several times, then took the monkey's head out of the salt water and plucked the water, poured water and washed it many times, so that the materials were cleaned.
Huan Huan followed Grandpa Xu into the kitchen, and as soon as he entered the kitchen, he was happy when he saw He Chongyang.
He Chongyang's face was as if he had wiped his face with pot ash, and he didn't realize that he had become a cat face, and he was holding a matchbox and looking at Grandpa Xu with some embarrassment.
A box of matches is almost wiped off, and there is not even a puff of smoke, can you be embarrassed?
"I think we won't be able to eat until tomorrow morning when you light the fire!" Grandpa Xu looked at He Chongyang's face and held back a smile.
Duan Huan happily mended the knife, "Brother Chongyang, did you wipe your face with the pot ash in the stove hole?" ”
He Chongyang: ......
