Chapter 385: The Three Treasures of the Pine Forest
When she was about halfway through the journey, Xiao Qiqi left her group of little sisters, and pestered Fang Tianlai, saying that she was tired of walking, and asked her brother to carry her on her back.
Fang Tian shook his head and smiled, this little girl is usually very wild, this is just such a little road, where will she be tired? So he pretended not to allow it, as many times before, he played a game of rock-paper-scissors with Xiao Qiqi, and promised to carry her only if he won.
Although the poor little hairy girl is a ghost and elf, where can she compare to the sky in cheating? In the end, seeing that she was really about to lose, Fang Tiancai laughed, picked her up, and threw her on his back.
Although there was this small setback, when she reached Fang Tian's back and occupied a rather advantageous position, this little girl still looked around triumphantly, showing off to her little friends.
Not to mention, she really succeeded.
Not only her friends, but also little Loli and Little Ivy are also hot-eyed.
But of course, under normal or normal circumstances, it is impossible for them to have such preferential treatment.
Thirty miles is not a short journey, but it is actually very fast. They had reached their destination in less than two magic hours, and at this time, the sun was still far away from the middle of the sky.
When the pine forest was in sight, after Fang Tian signaled the goal, the group quickened their pace, mainly the little guys of Little Berg and Little Dirk, who ran there like a 100-meter sprint, and then played with a few big guys who had not faded their hearts, followed the lot, and several people pushed the cart together, running hard.
At this time, Xiao Qiqi naturally did not settle down, and shook Fang Tian's neck back and forth, urging him to follow.
So a moment later, the group was all at their destination.
Owen and the others were busy looking for a place to settle down, and then clearing the ground, building a tent, preparing firewood, and so on.
Fang Tian recruited the little ones and let them collect them.
Just as the bamboo forest is full of treasures, the pine forest is also full of treasures. In other words, Fang Tian is already preparing to determine this place as the second food base after the bamboo forest.
This is a "new" pine forest, the oldest pine tree, only a few hundred years old, in short, according to Fang Tian's visual estimates, no more than a thousand years. If it was when he first came here, Fang Tian would definitely exclaim: "Wow, ancient tree!" and then sighed deeply: "Ah, years!"
But now he knew that a tree of this age, in this place, was only a little young. Compared with the human world, the years and time of the plant world are much slower and much longer.
However, even if he is young, in this jungle that has spread for dozens of miles, a lot of mountain treasures have been bred.
In fact, this jungle is far more than dozens of miles, but this area is a relatively concentrated place of pine trees, and the jungle outside this area, although it is separated by ten steps and hundreds of steps, and wild pines are sometimes seen horizontally, but they are only embellishments, not the mainstream of the jungle.
In a remote corner, the wild forest, where there is no human harassment or destruction, will make any food lover in the past life who has entered or not been in the stream here feel joy and worship.
What Fang Tian asked the little ones to collect were three things.
One is rosin, the other is Poria cocos, and the third is pine mushroom, or pine mushroom, matsutake mushroom, etc., anyway, they all refer to a thing.
Originally, there was another thing - pine cones, but at this time, the summer is not long, and the trees have just hung fruit, far from the picking season, otherwise, after picking, and Poria cocos together to make Poria cocos pine nut cake, that is a perfect match.
Let's talk about the three things that can be mined at present.
...,
Like the famous agarwood tree, pine is also an oily tree, in the process of its growth, there are often some oily secretions called pine resin from its trunk, knots, and branches, and these exudates attach to the tree, over time, gradually volatilize and weather, forming a yellow-brown solid sediment, which is rosin.
Fang Tian collects rosin, and for the time being, he considers three uses, one is to make mosquito coils, the other is to make soap, and the third is to treat pig's trotters.
Rosin is picked from the trees, while pine mushrooms are picked from the ground.
Pine mushrooms are often found in loose humus soil covered with thick pine needles and fallen leaves. This thing is an out-and-out pine forest gift, and it has a rather unique position among the delicious edible mushrooms, "gathering the essence of pine trees and being born", which is far from being comparable to some other miscellaneous mushrooms.
In fact, in his previous life, when Fang Tian first knew about this thing, this thing was only sold for a few cents a catty, and no one on the rotten street had bought it, so it was an out-and-out cheap thing.
But when he grew into a glorious food lover, it was a cup. In the past, the price of cheap things rose when they saw the wind, just like the words in the couplet "The sea is going to fall towards the chaochao, and the floating clouds are long and long", the price of pine mushrooms has grown all the way to a hundred yuan a catty, and it is impossible to buy good goods.
Looking at the momentum of development, in a few years, it is also conceivable to sell for 1,000 yuan a catty.
However, by that time, there are probably not many truly delicious wild pine mushrooms. After all, even if it is a good thing, how can it withstand everyone's picking, picking every year?
At that time, the so-called wild mushrooms were probably no different from artificial mushrooms.
Poria cocos is a wild mushroom produced in the roots of underground pine, which is more directly "born from the essence of old pine" than pine mushroom, and is highly valued in the traditional Chinese health care system. In ancient times, some traditional sketches or novels of seeking immortals and cultivating immortals often mentioned the characters, "eating pine nuts, eating poria cocos, eating yellow essence", and then for a long time, "the body is strong and healthy, and the spirit is round and full", so it is natural to "complete the immortal law and lift the shape to rise".
This is, of course, an out-and-out exaggeration.
But it is no exaggeration to say that Poria cocos, especially old Poria cocos, is indeed a nourishing food that can comprehensively improve the body's quality.
In advertising terms, this substance can be "anti-cancer, anti-aging, anti-cold, anti-rheumatism, anti-polio, anti-senile dementia, anti-pediatric night cry, anti-senile convulsions, anti-middle-aged baldness, anti-hemiplegia, anti-gastric ulcer, anti-liver cirrhosis, anti-frozen shoulder, anti-heart disease, anti-waist and leg pain, anti-menstrual irregularities, anti-insomnia and dreams, anti-describal withering...... (10,000 words omitted here) ......"
Exactly, blindly holding Poria cocos in your hand, you don't have to worry about it from childhood to old age.
Dear, seeing this, aren't you still excited? It's better to take action than to be excited, if you are interested, call it, OOO-999-1234567891 quickly connect to Fangtian hotline in seconds......

And after Fang Tian's orders and demonstrations, the little ones acted in a hurry.
Little Berg, Little Dick and others are responsible for picking rosin and digging poria cocos, and Little Loli, Little Ivy Little Thea, Little Kiki and others are responsible for finding pine mushrooms, oh, and two more girls, Karin and Nanhai Thirteen.
Soon, there were harvests one after another to hand them in.
Among the three, the easiest to find is rosin, which can be seen at a glance attached to the tree, followed by Poria cocos, although this thing is hidden deep underground, but once found, it is a big bag, and often other pine roots nearby, there are clusters. ...,
The hardest thing to find is the pine mushroom. Although this thing grows on the ground, only covered by pine branches and fallen leaves, and many of them are directly exposed to the ground, but it can't stand it to grow loosely, and to collect this thing, you need to go east and west, and you have to walk a lot of roads.
However, this is the time to collect pine mushrooms.
Shortly after the vigorous rainy season, the air, especially in the jungle air, is still quite humid, and these moistures, permeated like light yarn, create an excellent condition for the growth of pine mushrooms.
In the pine forest, scattered to the ground, one by one large pine mushrooms and small pine mushrooms, chicly showing their heads.
However, most of the ones that show their heads have been long, and the taste is not good, so Fang Tian emphasized just now that none of these will be taken.
"Brother Fang Tian, can you eat this?" Not long after, a little girl named Atta was carrying a big big mushroom, and ran over to ask Fang Tian with a smile, who came with her, and a few little girls, at this time, they were talking to Fang Tian about how they had collected this big mushroom.
This mushroom is really big.
At least among the mushrooms that Fang Tian had seen with his own eyes, there was no one bigger than it, no, there was no one or one that could compare to it. Compared to the usual mushrooms, it is not at all the difference between a hundred steps and fifty steps, but the difference between a giant and a little furball.
Figuratively speaking, at first glance, this is simply an umbrella, well, similar to those average-sized umbrellas in Fang Tian's previous life.
Fang Tian took the big mushroom and knocked it on the umbrella cover with his hand, and it was very hard. The umbrella cover is like this, not to mention the umbrella handle, otherwise, a few little girls would not be able to carry it all the way over, and it would have fallen apart long ago.
"This one is too old to taste. Fang Tian said.
"Oh!"
Hearing Fang Tian say this, several little girls all showed disappointment, and seeing this, Fang Tian smiled again: "However, we can put it on the edge of the table, you see, how beautiful?"
The little guy was the most coaxing, and as soon as Fang Tian said this, they were all happy again.
When a lot of things had been collected, Fang Tian began to move, and at the same time, he asked Owen and them to help deal with the prey.
From the time I came out of breakfast to now, it has only been two or three magic hours, which is considered noon in my previous life, far less than the time to eat again in this world, but it is a matter of expectation to make a little snack and let everyone fill their stomachs.
What Fang Tian wanted to do at this time was game pine mushroom soup, roasted pine mushrooms, and fried poria cakes.
And the tea that was just discovered yesterday was also used by Fang Tian, and he was going to use it to cook it with game to remove the fish, and the specific effect remains to be tested.
However, from a logical point of view, this kind of bitter and fragrant tea with a strong and mellow taste has a strong "scraping" effect, and it is cooked with meat to play a complementary role. If this combination is not effective, the next step, Fang Tian is ready to use it to treat grease...... )
