Chapter 67: Mushrooms
After eating the roasted sweet potato, Huang Yiyun patted his head with some annoyance and said, "I forgot, there are still three persimmons on the persimmon tree in that valley, and our family hasn't picked them yet?" ”
"Eldest sister, why don't we pick persimmons, the persimmons are now yellow and ready to eat, if we don't go, I'm afraid we'll all be dropped or all the birds and birds will be eaten?" The fifth sister first glanced at Huang Li cautiously and said slowly, when she said that she could eat it, the more she talked, the more excited she became.
"Eldest sister, if you go, you can go, whether you can go or not depends on what Grandma means." After Huang Yiyun saw the appearance of the fifth sister as a foodie, he said a little funny.
"Before, we were busy forgetting that the persimmons in the valley have not been picked, and now the weather is not cold, so let's take the babies to pick them! The eldest sister, the eldest sister, the second sister, the third sister, the fourth brother and the fifth sister all went, and the two of you left at home and waited for your eldest sister to pick the persimmons for you to eat. Of course, if you are obedient and stay at home and wait for your eldest sister to come back, Grandma will let you eat one more persimmon every day. After Huang Li saw that he didn't let the two youngest ones pick persimmons, the two of them looked at her pitifully, and Huang Li shook his head funny.
Several babies like to eat, and under the temptation of eating, they will choose to eat between eating and playing.
"That's it! Eldest sister, you go to the morning meeting early, and the seventh brother will wait for you to pick persimmons and come back to eat? The seventh brother walked into Huang Yiyun and took Huang Yiyun's hand.
..........。
The family each carried a basket on their backs and walked up the mountain, but after walking to the way up the mountain, from time to time the voice of the sixth sister was pitiful, "Wow, that's the jujube tree?" It's a pity that the dates of the jujube tree are gone. ”
"Wow, this is an apple tree, this is a pear tree, and wild grapes? In the summer, we didn't go up the mountain to pick it? It's good now, they've all been picked, wow, there are still two batches of trees here? While the sixth sister was going up the mountain, she saw one or two fruit trees appear from time to time on the mountain, and after seeing the fruits on the fruit trees being picked away, it was a pity and a distress.
"Sixth sister, when the batch of trees is ripe, our family hasn't come to Qingshan Village yet?" The second sister said after seeing the sixth sister's gluttony.
until they come to the valley.
The fourth brother and the fifth sister saw that they were going to climb into the thorny forest.
The two of them were small and not big, so they crawled forward excitedly, faster than the Huang Yiyun sisters.
After Huang Yiyun climbed into the valley, he first looked into a few traps dug by his house to see if he could catch game.
The trap they dug in this valley caught a few pheasants.
The hen keeps it to lay its eggs, and the rooster keeps one for breeding.
Up to now, in the Huang family's chicken pen, in addition to the ten chickens that were raised half the size before, there are five female pheasants and one wild rooster.
Now five hens are caught by their siblings and fed with earthworms, and the five hens are now able to lay eggs every day.
"Hey, there's still a fungus here? I didn't come earlier, otherwise I could have picked some mushrooms and eaten them at home? After Huang Conghe saw that there were a lot of dwarf and withered mushrooms next to the stream, he said with some pity on his face.
After Huang Yiyun saw it, his eyes were thoughtful, and he asked with a slight movement in his heart, "Uncle, in the past, the price of this fresh mushroom was not expensive. ”
"Eldest sister, this is not cheap, the mushrooms are delicious and fresh, many rich people like to eat them, but the mushrooms can't be planted, so it's expensive." The second sister suddenly, after not knowing what she thought, her face showed pity.
After Huang Yiyun's mind moved, he circled around the valley.
I saw a few withered and dwarf mushrooms next to the stream, but I didn't see them anywhere else.
Not even dead wood.
Huang Yiyun knows that wild mushroom is a relatively low plant genus fungus, it does not flower, it does not bear fruit, and it cannot produce seeds, it can only produce spores to reproduce. Wherever the spores are scattered, they germinate into new mushrooms.
But under the premise that wild mushrooms can only grow to dead branches and rotten leaves.
Because wild mushrooms do not have chlorophyll, they do not produce nutrients on their own, and can only use their mycelium to reach into the soil or rotten wood to absorb ready-made nutrients to sustain life. Therefore, wild mushrooms often grow in warm, damp, humid and humid places rich in organic matter.
Mushrooms do not terminate, but they have spores, and when the spores fall into the soil, they produce hyphae, which rely on nutrient hyphae to absorb nutrients and water, and then give birth to fruiting bodies, which is what we see as mushrooms. However, the fruiting body starts out small and is not easily noticed, and when it absorbs enough water, it will stretch out in a short time.
Therefore, in ancient times, wild mushrooms were very scarce, and if you want to eat a meal of mushrooms, you have to rely on seasonal rainy weather to go up the mountain to pick them.
And, those who live in the town and the county town have never even seen the mushrooms, so it can be seen that it is no wonder that the mushrooms are expensive.
The breeding offspring of wild mushrooms are in the vast forests and fields, and a wide variety of mushrooms grow every year, especially after the rain in spring, it is a good time for wild mushrooms to grow, so this is the time when wild mushrooms are the most.
But there are autumn too, but not so much.
It's winter now, and the season for wild mushrooms is when the temperature is above 30 degrees Celsius. If it is above 35 degrees Celsius and below 5 degrees Celsius, there are generally not many wild mushrooms growing.
Therefore, the few withered and dwarf mushrooms that Huang Yiyun saw were afraid that after the weather became colder and colder recently, they no longer grew, but withered and disappeared.
"Eldest sister, what are you doing, come over and draw the fishing net?" After Huang Yiyun came back to his senses, he saw that the fifth sister, the fourth brother, the second sister and the uncle had already climbed the tree.
The uncle and the second sister carried the basket on their backs to the tree.
Pick the ripe persimmons and put them in the basket.
What about the two smaller ones?
He did not carry the basket on his back to the tree, but only carefully plucked the unripe ones.
Try not to spoil the green and unripe persimmons.
If there is no ripe persimmon, after picking, as long as you put it in the rice bran, you can wait for the persimmon to slowly turn yellow, and after turning yellow, it means that it is ripe and ready to eat.
Of course, if the persimmon is not ripe in green, if it is not complete or a little bit broken when picked, even if it is placed in the rice bran, the persimmon will not slowly turn yellow and ripe.
On the contrary, over time, the persimmon will become moldy and rotten, and will not turn yellow and ripe.
Therefore, when picking persimmons this time, Huang Yiyun brought fishing nets down.
Let the fourth brother and the fifth sister go up to the tree, pick the green persimmons, throw them into the net, and try not to break them.
As for ripe, you don't need to put it in the rice bran, you can eat it directly.
