Chapter 29: Do a little experiment
"Huh! To tell you the truth, I really don't know these three kinds of mushrooms! Are you sure these are edible and not poisonous? The shopkeeper Guo also responded with a smile, and frankly admitted that he didn't know these three kinds of mushrooms.
This person seems to be not bad, Jing Tian thought to himself. She scratched her head with her hand and said a little embarrassedly: "Shopkeeper Guo, actually, hehe, I don't know these three kinds of mushrooms, even the name of the thatched mushroom, I only knew it after listening to you." However, I dare to pack the ticket, these mushrooms are edible mushrooms and are definitely not poisonous. ”
"Oh? Hehe! You're a little bit of a funny little girl. So you gave the names of these three mushrooms? Guo Da shopkeeper teased.
When Jing Tian heard this, her mouth grinned even wider, and it was definitely a standard smile with eight teeth, she rubbed her hands and said, "Don't make fun of me." However, my mother taught me how to identify mushrooms, and I promise that these mushrooms are non-toxic and nourishing mushrooms, and I can verify them for you on the spot. Speaking of the back, Jing Tian's face was full of anxiety, she was simply an extremely simple little girl, desperate to make people believe in herself. Chen Liang next to him looked at it, and silently rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking, this girl can really pretend!
Shopkeeper Guo listened, and his eyes lit up: "How to identify mushrooms?" You say come and hear it. ”
Seeing the fleeting look of the shopkeeper Guo, Jing Tian paused, swallowed back the method that was originally prepared and explained, and said: "Shopkeeper Guo, there are many ways to identify in the mountains, and it is also verbose to say. But you have a way to do it in this store, which is very simple and easy to use. "After seeing the reaction of the shopkeeper Guo, I am afraid that this method of identifying mushrooms is not popular here, so Jing Tian is not going to say it, but he has to let the shopkeeper Guo verify his mushrooms with his own eyes, "You can take a green onion, cut it horizontally, and wipe it on this mushroom, if the green onion does not change color, it is a non-toxic edible mushroom, if the green onion is discolored, especially green and brown, it must be a poisonous mushroom." ”
What Jing Tian doesn't know is that people nowadays really don't have a systematic way to identify whether mushrooms are poisonous or not. Only a few varieties that are common and have been passed down to confirm that they are non-toxic and harmless are edible. Most mushroom pickers can only identify the shape of mushrooms based on word of mouth, and if you are not careful, you may pick poisonous mushrooms.
Shopkeeper Guo listened to Jing Tian's words, and paused slightly, Xu didn't expect this method of identifying whether mushrooms were poisonous or not so simple. He waved his hand at the young man, and the clever young man turned and went out the door, and in a short time he brought back a few chopped green onions. When Jing Tian saw the young man coming back, he smiled at him and raised his hand to signal him to come to the table to inspect the mushrooms in person.
Shopkeeper Guo saw that the little fat girl opposite understood the world so well, and nodded, "Sixth son, you come to test." The young man was greeted and walked over to the table. He first picked up an oyster mushroom and wiped the surface with one end of the green onion segment, then tore the oyster mushroom apart and wiped it with the other end. He tried all seven kinds of mushrooms on the table one by one, and sure enough, the green onions did not change color.
Jing Tian saw that the young man had finished trying, but the shopkeeper Guo still had some doubts on his face, so he smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Guo, you might as well find another poisonous mushroom and try it, so that you can better prove this method." ”
Listening to Jing Tian's words, Shopkeeper Guo also smiled: "Yes, Liuzi, go to the backyard and bring the mushrooms that were packed up in the morning." After he finished instructing the young man, he explained to Jing Tian with a smile: "This morning, a dog in the backyard died, and we searched for a long time before we found out that it had eaten a few white mushrooms growing near the roots of the tree. Ay! I don't know how this poisonous mushroom grows in the yard, so I quickly asked everyone to put it in a bag. so as not to be eaten by anyone again. ”
Listening to the words of the shopkeeper Guo, Jing Tian also nodded with a smile, but he suddenly didn't know what to say. In his previous life, Jing Tian worked with all kinds of people, and often had to accompany the management team to market customers and even negotiate with the customer's executives. There will be some leaders who are also very talkative, and some who like to gossip. However, this is often based on the fact that the two parties in the chat are basically equal and win-win. And now, the other party is the big shopkeeper of the largest restaurant in the township, and he is a little girl in patched clothes in the village. There is no need for the other party to explain anything to her...... "This shopkeeper Guo is really easy-going." I won't be easy-going. Jing Tian thought to himself.
The young man, the sixth son, came back soon. He held a stoneware bowl with several white mushrooms in it. At first glance, it looks a bit like a white jade mushroom. But Jing Tian took a closer look and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Amanita albaina mushroom!" She frowned slightly, thinking, "How can there be here?" ”
Jing Tian happened to recognize this white poisonous Amanita mushroom, and in her previous life, she once participated in a hiking activity of her fellow travelers. When I saw this kind of white mushroom in the woods, I thought it was a white jade mushroom, and I planned to pick some game. As a result, the team leader stopped her in time. Tell her that this mushroom that looks like a white mushroom is called Amanita albicans, which looks very similar to the white mushroom in the early stage, but after it matures in the later stage, the umbrella cover is unfolded, revealing the fungus ring under the umbrella cover, which is easy to be recognized by people who can recognize poisonous mushrooms. If you accidentally ingest Amanita albicans, there will be no reaction for the first two or three days, but then there will be some symptoms of gastroenteritis, which will generally heal quickly. In fact, during the false recovery period, the toxin has already begun to destroy the internal organs, and after a few days, it will suddenly die due to liver failure. Generally, it takes about 10 to 20 days from poisoning to poisoning, and the toxin is latent in the early stage, so even in the medically developed world of Jing Tian's previous life, the mortality rate of Amanita albicanum poisoning is extremely high, as high as 90%, or even 100%. The team leader's words made Jing Tian scared for a while, so he was very impressed by this matter. After she went home, she also used Du Niang to check it.
Jing Tian adjusted his mood slightly, and said with a smile: "This poisonous mushroom looks pretty good!" "Acting like a child. Shopkeeper Guo didn't notice Jing Tian's abnormality, but instead paid attention to Chen Liang's reaction when the poisonous mushroom was brought up. Seeing that Chen Liang was still expressionless and silent, he retracted his mind and instructed the young man to test it with green onions.
Sure enough, after rubbing the green onion on the mushroom in the bowl, the cut surface of the green onion slowly turned yellow, then brown, and finally gradually deepened to a dark brown.
Several people in the room saw the completely opposite change in the green onion segment from before, and they all looked at it. Shopkeeper Guo clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Wonderful! Little girl, your method really works! ”
