Zhang Chi returned to the front of the house, and before he entered the door, he heard someone shouting, and turned his head to find Cannon standing in front of the cowshed waving at him.

After waiting for a while, Cannon came on horseback.

"BOSS, didn't you make an appointment to find Mushroom Lone?" Cannon rode in front of Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi remembered when he heard this, and made an appointment with Cannon to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms in the morning.

So he said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I forgot about this, and now ...... It's not too late".

I looked down at my watch, and it wasn't ten o'clock yet.

Cannon said, "Okay, let's go now."

Zhang Chi then asked, "Do you want to bring anything?" ”

Cannon thought for a moment, "Bring the basket, it's the ...... with a big belly and a lid."

Cannon gestured as he spoke.

Zhang Chi understood, Cannon was talking about the fish basket he brought from his hometown, which was made up by his grandfather, and Zhang Chi brought some bamboo weaving when he came back, including this fish basket.

So Zhang Chi went into the house and took out the fish basket, and the two rode to the foot of the mountain while talking and laughing.

Out of the pasture, Zhang Chi followed behind Cannon and went up the mountain together.

Originally, Zhang Chi thought that there was still a way to go, but who knew that after walking up the mountain for less than ten minutes, Cannon reined in his horse and jumped off the horse.

"It's here!"

Zhang Chi dismounted, looked at the surrounding environment with a look of disbelief, and asked Cannon, "Right here?" ”

Zhang Chi looked around and didn't see where there were mushrooms, and this place was really not like the kind of place where mushrooms could grow as he imagined.

Cannon bent down and picked up a branch from the ground, began to pick up the dead leaves on the ground, and said to Zhang Chi as he plucked them: "The mushrooms are under these dead leaves, near the special roots, you can find them if you look for them." Also, BOSS, be careful, there may be snakes in the leaves, and some guys bite you and that's not a joke......."

Snakes are really common in the countryside, most of them are not poisonous, but there are a lot of poisonous ones, not to mention the mountains, when Zhang Chi used to be in Folsen, there were snakes downstairs in the tube building where he lived and got into other people's homes.

Zhang Chi is not afraid of this thing, but every time he sees them, he feels uncomfortable, especially when the snake is swimming, and the hairs on Zhang Chi's back stand up.

Following Cannon's example, Zhang Chi also picked up a branch, but Zhang Chi picked a very thick one, saying that the branch was actually about the same size as a stick, and it was no problem to use it as a crutch in his hand.

"That's it".

After a while, Cannon shouted happily and waved at Zhang Chi without looking back.

Zhang Chi leaned over to take a look and found that under the leaves that had been peeled off, there was a golden umbrella cover, and there were about a dozen white handles underneath, which were quite long, but the umbrella was not big.

"Can you eat this thing?" Zhang Chi looked at Mushroom Gu and couldn't help asking.

In Zhang Chi's concept, the mushrooms that can be eaten are colorless, such as the flat solitary chicken leg solitary sold in the market, at most with a little yellow, of course, the fragrant gu is sauce-colored, but it is not this golden yellow.

It looks like it's poisonous.

"That's what you ate yesterday, and when you heat it up, the color is gone, it's the best mushroom in the mountains," Canon said as he pulled away the mud from under the mushrooms with his hands, and pulled out all the mushrooms.

Zhang Chi understood what Cannon meant, took the basket from the horse, opened the lid and asked Cannon to put the mushroom in his hand.

Seeing the mushroom, Zhang Chi looked for it carefully.

Not to mention, Zhang Chi soon sent a cluster, also a dozen or so, which were also under the loose dry leaves, and they really couldn't be found without picking up the leaves.

Digging the mushroom out of the ground, Zhang Chi sent it to Cannon's front eye and asked him to take a look.

"yes, that's it," Cannon nodded.

With the first harvest, Zhang Chi came to the spirit, and kept plucking the branches under the roots with the branches in his hands.

It's really like Cannon said, there are really a lot of mushrooms in the mountains, and after a while, the two of them made a small half basket.

"It's quite a lot," Zhang Chi said.

The two of them sat down to rest at this time, took a sip of the water they brought, and prepared to continue picking.

Cannon said: "Usually no one goes up the mountain, so there are many mushrooms in the mountain."

This is easy to understand, originally there were not many people in Amber Town, only a few hundred people, this is still more to say, if you exclude those casual cowboys, there may be fewer people.

This is the case in the western town, there are not many people in each town, if you stay in the town honestly and don't go to other places, you won't see a few familiar faces in your life, such a small population faces such a big mountain, even if the whole town goes up the mountain to pick mushrooms, how much can you pick, this amount of collection is not enough for the number of mountains that come out after a rain.

Of course, you also need a license or something to pick these things, but no one hangs the government, even if it only costs about ten dollars for one pick, no one is willing to pay these money.

It's hard to give up good money!

The people of any place are like this, and the villagers of Amber Town do not have much consciousness, and some people even directly think that when there was no government, Lao Tzu's ancestors picked mushrooms here for I don't know how many years, and they didn't pay any fees, why did you want to collect money when you were established? No way!

The government also has no way to simplify the process, as long as you go to pay the money, as soon as you hand over the money, the certificate will be completed for you in less than a minute, and no one is willing to pay.

Others don't pay, Zhang Chi doesn't be stupid, he rushes to pay this money, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's meat.

After the two picked half a basket, Cannon asked Zhang Chi to stop, saying that it was enough to eat, and the two turned around and went home.

When he arrived at the ranch, Cannon asked Zhang Chi to pour all the mushrooms he had picked on the porch in front of the door and began to pick them up one by one.

"What is this for?" Zhang Chi was curious.

Cannon said, "I'm afraid you'll pick up the mushroom and come back."

"Can this still be wrong?" Zhang Chi felt that Cannon didn't believe in himself.

As soon as these words came out, Cannon's hand added a mushroom: "This plant is poisonous." There is one and there is definitely a second".

Belch!

Zhang Chi felt a little embarrassed, and he couldn't say that Cannon picked it up, because in addition to himself, it was estimated that Cannon would not pick up this kind of poisonous mushroom.

"How do you see that?"

If you make a mistake, ask it, and ask shamelessly, this is one of Zhang Chi's good qualities.

Cannon took the poisonous mushroom and explained to Zhang Chi: "You see, although the two mushrooms look similar, this kind of mushroom is touched on the top of the umbrella with his hand."

As he spoke, Cannon touched the top of the umbrella with his hand, and then rubbed it twice to show Zhang Chi, who saw that there seemed to be a layer of silver powder on his fingers.

"This thing is poisonous?" Zhang Chi wanted to reach out and touch it, but he felt that it was better not to touch it.

Cannon shook his head: "This thing is not poisonous, but the lone handle is poisonous, but the toxicity is not high, eating it will make you pull your stomach for a few days, and you can't lift your pants."

As soon as he said this, Zhang Chi was much more relieved.

Looking at Cannon's picking, after a while, Zhang Chi found that the difference between the two kinds of mushrooms was coming, the edible mushroom umbrella was larger, and the top of the umbrella was not flat, it was really like an umbrella, the poisonous mushroom was flat, and there was a slight upward hook on the side, except for these differences, the other places were almost exactly the same, for a novice like himself, it was normal to pick up the wrong thing.

Picking out all the poisonous mushrooms, Cannon took a bag and packed them up.

"Where to throw this thing, don't let the cow eat it" Zhang Chi said casually.

Cannon said, "It's okay for a cow to eat this."

Well?!

Zhang Chi felt a little wonderful.

Cannon explained: "Cows and humans have different digestive systems, and this thing is fine for them, but it's not good for us, and I feed it to the cows." Also, these mushrooms are placed in a cool place and left for three or four days, so you can eat them slowly."

"Why don't you come?" Zhang Chi asked.

Cannon waved his hand: "I don't want it, I ate them for days before you came back, and I don't really want to see them now."

Since Cannon didn't want it, Zhang Chi had to laugh at it all.

I originally wanted to eat mushroom soup, but now that mushrooms are available, there is no tofu, and it's almost one o'clock when I look at it, so I go to buy tofu again, so don't eat lunch and change it to dinner.

In the face of these mushrooms, Zhang Chi thought about it for a while, and decided to simply make a mushroom scrambled eggs at noon, there is no shortage of eggs at Zhang Chi's house, and they are all fresh eggs.

Riding up the Red Flame Mountain to the stable, Cannon took advantage of his leisure time to build several poultry houses, each of which was about a cubic meter, and a total of four or five were placed against the wall of the stable, and free-range chickens and geese were squatting in it.

When he came to the door of the chicken coop, he bent down and stretched out his head to take a look, and Zhang Chi saw several hens holding nests inside, that is, hatching chicks.

Reach under the hen's belly and touch it and take out an egg.

Zhang Chi is a principled person, he will not only touch under the belly of a hen, each hen takes an egg under the belly, first shines on the sun, and finds that there are no chicks in the egg, and it does not look like a chick, so the egg is suitable for scrambling, otherwise the eggshell will be broken and a chick will fall out of it, which will not be good.

Falling out of the chick may be a good thing for some students who like to eat live beads, but Zhang Chi can't stand that, and it is more in line with his eating habits to eat eggs.

I grabbed a few eggs, hummed a little song and got home, simmered the rice first, washed the mushrooms and tore them into strips with my hands, broke a few eggs and stirred them, put some pepper and salt to remove the fishy smell, and added a little base taste.

Put oil in the pot, pour the beaten egg liquid into the pot, just pull the eggs a few times, put the eggs out, get some oil, put the mushrooms in and fry them, and then rest assured that the eggs will go after they are fried, start seasoning, and wait for the flavor to be adjusted, and a plate of mushroom scrambled eggs will be fine.

This mushroom is so fresh, with eggs fresh, he lost his eyebrows, but Zhang Chi felt that he couldn't eat it after two bites, and it was okay to eat something too fresh at the first time, but it was a little bitter in the future.

opened a bag of mustard vegetables, put the remaining rice lake into his stomach, and while eating, Zhang Chi pondered: Why hasn't the neighbor moved yet?

Could it be that his sense of justice is a little less? Or do people have too many cattle, and they can't see it for a while?

That's a bit annoying, isn't it?
