Chapter 228: Maitake

Bai Qiongshou was very curious, it was obviously the same fruit, how could some of them be poisonous and some of them were not?

Shen Feng said, "We cut down a few of these strange trees over there, and none of them had the essence of the magic plant in them, but we found this kind of in the trunk....it seems to be a mushroom?" ”

These mushrooms are coral-branched, with fan-shaped to spoon-shaped caps at the ends, overlapping into a large clump. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The surface is gray to light brown, and its cap surface has fine hairs, reflective stripes, thin edges, involution, and jade-white inside the mushroom flesh.

Lin Chou glanced at it and said in surprise,

"This is maitake mushroom, also known as maitake flower, it should be an alienated magic plant, ordinary maitake mushroom contains very strong neurotoxins, which can paralyze people's nerves, but it is not fatal, well, the taste is the same as its toxin, extremely delicious."

Maitake mushrooms originated in an island country before the cataclysm, and they were given the name "maitake mushrooms" as a tribute to the royal family.

"It's really a mushroom? How does the mushroom grow in the trunk of a tree -- it really grows completely in the trunk of a tree, and it doesn't show out at all, and we see it when we hollow out the tree. ”

Lin Chou asked, "If I'm not mistaken, maitake mushrooms grow in poisonous fruit trees, right?" ”

"Huh?"

Lin Chou smiled, "It's very simple, because the fruit is poisonous." ”

The white dome suddenly,

"What does Brother Lin mean is that the toxin of this maitake mushroom is transmitted to the fruit through the body of the tree? In this way, the beast that eats the fruit will be paralyzed and then digested by the ash tree... But in this case, isn't this leech useless? ”

Lin Chou said,

"At first, I thought that leeches were symbiotic with big trees, but now it seems that maitake and gray trees are the real symbiotic relationship, and leeches are just predators who come to take advantage."

Everyone is chattering, how many things does this tree support, it is really selfless dedication.

The meat stewed in the stone pot gradually boiled, and the aroma of the meat overflowed.

Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva,

"Brother Lin, can you eat it?"

Lin Chou rolled his eyes, "It's early!" ”

I pinched a piece of gray-white maitake mushroom, put it in my mouth and tasted it.

"Well, if all the toxins are given to the ashwagandha, and there are no toxins of their own, it's good, then we have a mouth."

Maitake looks ordinary and unremarkable, shaped like Cinderella's dress, but of course it's gray.

But as we all know, most of the mushrooms that can be named after "mushroom" are precious and precious, and the best example is the most famous matsutake mushroom in the mushroom family.

Similarly, maitake mushrooms are very suitable for charcoal grilling, a little butter or butter melts and grills, without any seasoning, it only takes a few moments, it is a high-quality delicacy, and it can be combined with meat and vegetables, which can be described as versatile.

Wash and disassemble the two maitake mushrooms that Shen Feng brought back, and put them into a boiling soup pot.

As soon as you put it into the boiling pot, there is a fragrance similar to the long-stewed chicken soup spreading, and the rich aroma of the meat can't hide the freshness at all, which is very magical.

The mountain master sniffed and couldn't sit still,

"Lao Tzu will go get a few more flowers back, it's so fragrant!"

Shen Feng also followed, and the white dome was paralyzed, pulling his neck on the ground and shouting to the two,

"Get more and more, damn it..."

"Get out of your mother, why don't you go, if you dare to move a finger when you get it back, I will tear you up and drink it!"

I only heard a few loud sounds of trees breaking and falling to the ground on the side of the hill, obviously it was the mountain master and Shen Feng who directly copied the old hometown of Maitake, and brought back more than a dozen flowers in a moment.

The maitake mushrooms are like a large flower together, each weighing three or four kilograms.

This time, Lin Chou didn't need to say anything, Shan Ye and Shen Feng washed and peeled them clean.

"What?"

Lin Chou handed the slate to the two of them, "Fry it with some oil, or dry frying, well, you can also bake it." ”

Everyone worked together to put the maitake mushrooms on the branches of the trees, some of them roasted on stone slabs, and some of them were placed directly next to the fire.

Once heated, maitake mushrooms give off a rich and unique flavor.

This fragrance is different from the fragrance of chicken fir which is also a fungus, and the chicken fir is more subtle, just like a young girl's spring; And maitake mushrooms are rich and unrestrained, more like mature women's enthusiasm.

The gray color of the maitake mushroom's surface gradually faded, becoming as white as the flesh inside, and small droplets of water poured out of the surface, making it even more fragrant.

Shan Ye couldn't wait to put a string of maitake mushrooms to his mouth, and with a skewer, a large string of maitake mushrooms entered his big mouth.

The mountain master couldn't help but let out a "hmm", his expression was a little hideous.

This is a kind of "freshness" that is pure and natural and completely irreplaceable by any chemical ingredients, and in the face of this taste, the seasoning of any artificial extract has completely become a roadside dirt, which is not worth mentioning.

If we look at it from the perspective of the scientific research institute, the freshness and fragrance of various fungi will be scientifically divided into two parts, the umami comes from non-volatile nitrogen-containing compounds and amino acids, and the fragrance comes from volatile alcohols and esters.

The composition of these fresh aroma substances in a solid or free state is so complex, if you want to completely synthesize these substances by artificial means and simulate the original taste exactly the same, its workload may require tens of thousands of top scientific researchers to work tirelessly for hundreds of years.

Any environmental changes and human intervention may cause drastic changes in the flavor of the mushroom, such as matsutake mushrooms, which cannot be cultivated artificially at all.

Human beings are no more intelligent than a small insect in the face of nature's miraculous workmanship.

Yama Ye almost burst into tears, and the smell of maitake mushrooms moved him so much, it was more than just a taste pleasure.

Somehow, he suddenly thought of the first time he came to the wilderness, was rescued by the original captain of the Panshan team, and when he woke up hungry, a large plate of stew of unknown beasts was placed in front of him, and the emotion, the mood, could not be described at all.

Wait a minute!

Stew??

Thinking of this, the mountain lord looked at the huge stone cauldron.

"Goo, goo."

"Damn, if you don't let Lao Tzu eat it again, Lao Tzu will have to lift the table and stop doing it!"

Shen Feng, "Where did you get the table?" ”

White Dome, "What the hell are you trying to lift?" ”

In addition to the food in front of them, the food that stays in the pot and waits to be eaten, everyone has to work hard.

How many catties of maitake mushrooms can there be, and after eating a few bunches per person, they began to wait for the hard currency in the pot, and they were simply eager to wear it.

The white dome bit the stick and said,

"Unexpectedly, one day I was conquered by a few skewers of grilled mushrooms."

"Well, and the one who was conquered by the chrysanthemum is also back."

The mountain master grinned,

"Yo, isn't this a bald Oba, look at your red face and eyebrows, isn't it ecstatic to be moistened?"
