Chapter 87: Yellow Mushroom Soup
"Alright, let's hurry up the mountain." Tan Jiexing saw that everyone had already dug the pit and marked it, so he encouraged everyone to hurry up the mountain.
This year, it is not only their Tan family who go to the mountains to try their luck. Maybe other people are also holding the same idea as them, going into the mountains and forests to find rare medicinal materials.
Everyone had no opinion, so they found a hidden mountain road and walked up the mountain.
They searched for a day in the mountains.
I didn't find rare medicinal herbs, but I found a lot of yellow mushrooms.
In autumn and winter, in the mountains and forests, next to the roots, there are clusters of them. A lot of money.
Seeing these yellow mushrooms, Tan Jiexing opened his mouth and said, "We brought the pot, right?" ”
Tan Qingqing, "Bring it." I took it when I went out. Later, it was given to the second brother. ”
Tan Songbai responded, "The spatula is here with me." ”
"Okay, then we'll go to the river later, wash the yellow mushrooms, cook them and eat them. When I went out of the city, I forgot to ask how much the yellow mushroom charged. I knew that there were so many yellow mushrooms, and I should have taken a few more baskets. ”
"Hey, just ask those people, don't you know?" Tan Songbai pointed not far from them, buried himself in picking up yellow fungus, and didn't pay attention to a few passers-by who didn't care about others at all.
Those passers-by also carried a number of baskets. But they are different from Tan Qingqing and his party, they simply came to pick up yellow fungus.
"Hey, you guys also went up the mountain to pick up medicinal herbs?" Tan Songbai seems to have social, people don't pay attention to him, and he still has to grab the other party for questioning.
There is a little girl on the other side, and the little girl is very talkative. While bending down to pick up the fungus, he responded, "We didn't go to the deep mountains and old forests to get medicinal herbs. Don't you know that Zuixianlou collects ingredients? Yellow fungus is one of them. A pound of yellow fungus, drunken immortal building charges twenty yuan. ”
The yellow mushroom soup is fragrant and fresh.
So much so that during the season when yellow mushrooms are abundant, many people come to pick them up. Even if you can't eat it yourself, you can sell it and earn some subsidies for your family.
Generally, after rain falls in the forest, these yellow fungus is easy to emerge.
Picking at this time, not only is the amount large, but the taste is good.
Tan Qingqing saw that the yellow mushrooms in the vicinity had almost been picked up, so he encouraged his brothers and sisters to pick them up elsewhere.
"Why don't we go deeper? The yellow mushrooms around here must have been almost picked up. ”
"Okay."
But the little girl on the other side said, "You want to go deep into the mountains and forests? Don't, right? There are wolves in the woods. You children, and you don't have adults around, be careful of being eaten by wolves! ”
However, the Tan family is a few small ones, and they are not afraid at all.
"It's okay, there are a lot of us."
With that, the group continued to walk deep into the mountains.
In the deep mountains and old forests, there are more yellow fungus. Tan Qingqing picked it up to the end, and he was tired of picking it up, and he didn't want to pick it up. I threw the basket full of yellow mushrooms to the side of the tree trunk, and found a clean stone to sit down.
At this time, it was also approaching the afternoon.
It's time to eat.
"Let's take a break here." Tan Jiexing swept away the leaves of the withered grass and the branches of the withered branches on the nearby mound.
"Then I'll go collect some rocks and firewood."
Ten minutes later, Tan Yunxing came over with a pile of stones and firewood. He formed a circle of stones, threw firewood into the pile of stones, and lit it.
The fire burned slowly.
The sweet potatoes were thrown directly into the fire by Tan Yunxing.
After washing, the spatula is placed on a simple stone stove. As soon as the water in the pot boiled, everyone threw the washed yellow mushrooms into the pot.
"If you put a whole local chicken in it to cook, then this pot of soup tastes really amazing."
"It's not bad now." Tan Qingqing searched out the spice bottle from the bag, which contained salt, monosodium glutamate, and cumin.
"When the flavor is ready, this mushroom soup is just as delicious."
Originally, Tan Qingqing didn't have much expectation for cumin. But she didn't expect that there was one for sale in Yuzhou City, although it was very expensive, only 50g for one tael of silver.
And Yuzhou City does not call it cumin, but calls it rebuke fennel. In Dongxu, it can be regarded as a relatively expensive spice. Anyway, most people don't use it when they eat.
Tan Qingqing also wanted to reminisce about authentic Xinjiang skewers, so she decided to buy some in pain and put them in her spice jar.
But now they can't eat meat, they can only eat fresh and tender yellow mushrooms, and this cumin is naturally not needed.
As soon as the yellow mushroom soup is cooked, everyone can't wait to put the fresh and tender mushroom stud into their bowls.
Tan Songbai and Tan Yunxing even took out last night's naan cake from his own cloth bag, tore it into small lumps, and soaked it in mushroom soup.
When the naan cake is soft, it is immediately pulled into the mouth and eaten.
"It tastes real. Even if we go to a restaurant, we can't drink such a fresh yellow mushroom soup. ”
"Of course. The yellow mushrooms in the restaurant don't know how many days they have been dried. It's definitely not new. It is also the people in the city who have money and nowhere to use, or who have no time to go up the mountain to pick up yellow fungus, are willing to spend this unjust money because of this taste. ”
Tan Songbai said while picking up the mushrooms, "What is like us, we went up the mountain early in the morning to pick it up?" ”
Aha.
Speaking of this, Tan Qingqing couldn't help but complain about him.
"Yesterday when you were addicted to playing mahjong, that's not what you said."
Tan Songbai responded quite quickly, "This time, that time." ”
They ate about three sticks of incense for this meal.
When they had finished eating, they put out the fire in the stone pile. The dishes, chopsticks, and spatulas are washed, put them back in the back basket, and move on.
They don't have a lot of time, and they can't spin around like headless flies.
Tan Jiexing asked Tan Qingqing, "Open your booklet and take a look, and see what medicinal materials can be dug up at this time?" Cheap, let's not look at it. Just look at the high closing price. ”
Tan Qingqing flipped through a few pages, took a look, and said, "Banxia and Chai Hu are more expensive." The price is about 100 pounds. The others are very cheap, all of them are about 20 yuan per catty. ”
"Where's Dendrobium?"
"Dendrobium is more expensive. Dendrobium 1-2 taels per catty. ”
"Then go digging dendrobium." Tan Jiexing clapped his hands and said, "Do you know where dendrobium generally looks?" Let's go straight to the place where Dendrobium grows. Let's not look at the other medicinal herbs. ”
They finally came out for a trip, so they had to dig up precious medicinal materials and go back, and get more silver into their pockets.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain for so long?
Tan Qingqing also agreed, "Let me see." According to the booklet, dendrobium generally grows on shady slopes. A place where there is a water source or trees around the slope. Look for tree trunks or branches, crevices in mountain rocks or stone troughs. The rocks attached to Dendrobium are often in the places where the streams flow, and the stone surface is moist and has moss......"
"Huh? Isn't that around us? ”
Tan was surprised.
There was a stream next to the place where they were eating. Moreover, the stream is shining. The rocks of the stream are also covered with moss.
