Spring in the northeast always seems to come later than in the south. But when the ice and snow melt and the spring flowers bloom, the jungle where everything recovers will also give the jungle that has been silent for a long time, with the breath of spring, the hustle and bustle and liveliness.

Take care of the garden in advance, Mushanhe has more time to observe the recovery of all things in the surrounding jungle. Looking at the various wild vegetables that have been drilled out of the soil one after another and begun to show their bodies, he also smiled very happily.

"I haven't eaten such a natural green food for years. This year, I want to have a good meal. ”

It is different from many wild vegetables in the Northeast in later generations, which are very popular with the outside world. Today's wild vegetables, people in the forest area are more just picking and tasting fresh, and feel the breath of spring by tasting wild vegetables.

Compared with the export of these high-quality wild vegetables in later generations, those who are engaged in this kind of business today have not heard much about Mushanhe. However, in the season when wild vegetables are on the market in large quantities, there are still dealers who buy all kinds of wild vegetables picked by villagers.

It's just that the price is too cheap compared to the purchase price of later generations!

Looking at the ginseng garden, it seems that the wild vegetables are one day at a time, and after feeling that they can be picked, Mu Shanhe began to pick them with a basket. The first wild vegetables picked are also very common in the mountains, and the scientific name is dandelion.

"This thing clears heat and detoxifies, and it's refreshing to eat occasionally. It's just that it's still relatively troublesome to pick. If you want to pick enough food for a plate, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time and effort. But food, what about the time-consuming? ”

Picking enough to fry a plate of mother-in-law, Mu Shanhe returned to his residence and began to wash it. As the earliest wild vegetables near the garden, he must be the first to taste them, and the other wild vegetables need to be picked after a while.

In previous years, when my grandfather was alive, he would also go into the mountains every year after spring and take the Mushan River to pick some wild vegetables. Now that Mu Shanhe is left alone, he naturally does not have to worry about picking the wrong wild vegetables, and finally there will be poisoning.

In fact, children who grew up in forested areas basically know that wild vegetables can be eaten in the mountains. Capsule, koji hemp green, willow sprouts, small root garlic, spiny old sprouts, eleutherococcus senticosus, small leaf celery, large leaf celery, monkey leg vegetables, cucumber and so on can be eaten.

The adults in the forest area will teach their children from an early age that they should remember not to pick or eat wild vegetables they don't know, so as not to be poisoned by eating. Wild vegetables are fresh, so after picking them, they should be cooked as soon as possible to avoid spoilage.

The most important thing is that the cooking of wild vegetables pays attention to maintaining its game, which can be stir-fried, cold, stuffed, boiled, stewed, roasted, and boiled. It can also be made into soup or raw food, and different cooking methods can be selected according to the different characteristics of wild vegetables.

Secondly, people in the forest area know that wild vegetables should not be eaten. Although wild vegetables are natural green foods, everything is done in moderation, and excessive consumption of wild vegetables can cause cold due to the cold nature of most wild vegetables, and it is also easy to cause diseases such as spleen cold and stomach deficiency.

For Mushanhe, who enjoyed the taste of wild vegetables at this time, wild vegetables were more to try than to take them as a main dish. At present, when his body is in urgent need of nutrients, his main dishes are still mainly high-protein dishes with meat.

But I eat too much meat, and occasionally eat some wild vegetables to regulate my stomach and improve my taste, which is also very rare in Mu Shanhe's opinion. After all, in the winter of the Northeast now, it is really not easy to eat fresh vegetables!

With the successive availability of all kinds of wild vegetables, Mushanhe, who occasionally goes out to catch the market, has also greatly reduced the purchase of vegetables. Even in the space, a batch of wild vegetables that have been picked and tasted better in his opinion are stored.

Being in a forest area, Mushanhe is very clear that many wild vegetables can only be eaten in season. If you miss the growing season, you will either have to eat dried goods or wait until the beginning of spring to pick them in the mountains.

Similar to the thorny old sprouts that were regarded as high-end wild vegetables in later generations, and even artificially began to cultivate and plant, after picking a lot in the mountains, Mushanhe directly covered them with a bag and put them in the space to keep them fresh. When you want to eat, take it out and stir-fry a plate to improve the food.

He also dried some of the wild vegetables that could even be made into dried vegetables, such as Niumaoguang, near his residence. All in all, after the snow melts, Mushanhe, who lives in the mountains, seems to have become much busier than ever.

Every time he entered the mountain, he not only took Daqing with him, but also brought two bobcats that were almost adults, as well as a fox family of three. Compared with the two lynxes who began to show their true colors as jungle killers, the fox family seemed much calmer and calmer.

But to Mu Shanhe's delight, the fox family of three, although they did not have the ability to hunt like a lynx, they also brought him a lot of surprises. That is, the fox family's sense of smell is acute, and they can help him find the medicinal herbs he needs.

"Hunting cats, looking for medicine foxes, it seems that they also know that if they want to follow me, they must also show their value. Otherwise, if they stay by my side and eat white food every day, they will surely feel embarrassed! ”

As a great northeast with abundant products, it is also rich in traditional Chinese medicine resources. For Mu Shanhe, who is now starting to set foot in cultivation and studying ancient medicine, it is inevitable that he will deal with some medicinal materials.

And tonic medicine can also assist in cultivation in the future. For Mu Shanhe, after the ordinary medicinal materials were collected, they were all concocted into dry goods by him. Some precious and rare medicinal materials are transplanted or stored in the mountain god space.

What makes Mushanhe even more appreciative is that the female fox can find wild ginseng. Even now, it's not yet the season to pick ginseng. With the help of the female fox, Mushan River, who went into the mountains to pick wild vegetables, also accidentally dug up a lot of wild ginseng.

Even these wild ginseng are not long in some years. They can be transplanted into the space of the mountain gods, and Mushanhe has time to wait for them to thrive. Because Mu Shanhe knows that in the later stages of cultivation, the assistance of tonic medicine is indispensable.

What surprised Mu Shanhe the most was that Daqing and the two lynxes knew how to cooperate with hunting. In many cases, Daqing is responsible for driving and pursuing, while Bobcats are responsible for hunting or deterring. All in all, it's a combination that defies the imagination.

"Let the other hunters know that the bobcats and hounds, which were originally rivals, would probably drop their jaws even if they cooperated with the hunt. But for me, two hunting cats are also very good if I don't have other hunting dogs for the time being! ”

Daqing, who couldn't go into the mountains to hunt in winter, relied on cooperating with two hunting cats, but he was presumptuous for a while in spring and summer. Fortunately, Mushanhe has an explanation and does not allow them to hunt female beasts. Most of the animals hunted are wild boars and roe deer.

The female fox family of three will also hunt some birds to show their predatory ability. But no matter what, through this period of getting along, seeing that they are unwilling to return to the mountains and forests, Mu Shanhe is not forced.

Even Mu Shanhe is worried that if the lynx is released into the forest, he is afraid that they will also become the target of hunters. The reason is simple, their fur is valuable. For hunters, it is natural not to let go of the profits.

Staying by your side and having your own watch over you can also avoid the fate of them being hunted and skinned. But Mu Shanhe can still feel that the lynx and the fox are so close and dependent on themselves, I am afraid that it has a lot to do with the inheritance of the mountain god.

Many people understand the truth of hugging their thighs. But for these equally intelligent animals, they naturally want to be protected by the mountain gods. Fortunately, they are now able to support themselves, so why not keep them around?

In order to avoid being known, he can drive the lynx to hunt, and every time he senses someone nearby, he will directly include the lynx and the fox family into the space. Wait until no one is around, and then release them out of space.

Even Mu Xingfu, who occasionally entered the mountains, saw the cat go to the empty breeding room, and thought that Mushanhe had released the lynx into the mountain forest. But in fact, every nightfall, under the porch, a dog, two cats and three foxes stay in some frolicking!
