Hericium erinaceus

Chapter 320 Three Hericium Mushrooms
It was almost three o'clock after feeding the walnuts. Li Junge cut out the space fan and stared at it for a while, and the day dawned.

Taking the walnut out of the space, this little monkey is very spirited. It seems that with the effect of Wujin's blood and the space, it is no problem to save his life.

Getting out of the tent, Weiwei came over and sniffed.

Li Junge was puzzled: "Wei Wei, what are you doing?"

Wei Wei asked curiously, "You don't smell urine?"

Li Junge was speechless, and said, "Don't make trouble, go wash up quickly, where is Uncle Orion?"

Wei Wei said: "Uncle Orion and Uncle Pharmacist went to collect the condoms and monkey heads. Professor Li and Professor Ding went to pull bamboo shoots, you are the only one who is lazy!"

Li Junge rolled his eyes and said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's not me who got it back?! Go wash up first!"

The two came to the stream and squatted down to wash. Walnut climbed to the top of Li Junge's head to see his own shadow in the water, feeling very curious.

Wei Wei stood up after washing, and stretched her waist greatly: "The air in this mountain is really good! Yo! There is a crab there!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "On March [-]rd, crabs climb high mountains, and this mountain crab should come out. The crabs in the mountains have more orange-red parts on their bodies, which are more beautiful than the crabs in the river."

After finishing speaking, she curled her lips: "But there is not much meat. At most, throw it in the soup to enhance the flavor, which is useless!"

Wei Wei smiled and said: "Three sentences cannot be separated from eating!"

Li Junge was triumphant: "Without me, how can you live so well these days? Knowing how to eat is also a skill. You saw a crab, but there is a good thing around you, but you didn't find it?"

Wei Wei jumped away in fright: "Oh, you scared me again! Could it be a snake?"

Li Junge put his hand on his forehead: "Can there be a little trust between people?! It's the piece of grass at your feet!"

Only then felt relieved and looked at the grass.

There is a large piece of weed growing in the water on the bank, like long green needles coming up from the bottom of the water, Wei Wei grabbed it and sniffed it, and said suspiciously: "This grass looks like fibers and has no smell. Can you really eat it?"

Li Junge laughed loudly: "I found that as long as you eat underground roots, you city people are easy to catch blind."

After speaking, he pulled up the grass, washed the mud from the roots by the water, and said, "Look!"

The only one who knew it just by looking at it: "Hi! Water chestnuts!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "We call it 'Chigu'. This is a wild 'Wild' mushroom. It's small, but it tastes pretty good."

Wei Wei suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Is this the only way you weave the straw mats in Shuzhou?"

Li Junge said: "Oh, you're so clever, but it's not. The rush mats are made of rushes, which are grasses and sedges."

Wei Wei was so angry that she patted the grass on Li Junge's body and said, "Then you are still smart!"

Li Junge said to Weiwei: "You are smart because you can think of using this kind of grass. The ancient Egyptians used sedge to make paper. The method is similar to warp and weft sticking and pressing. The fiber can last for thousands of years."

Weiwei was proud again: "Really?! Then why didn't our ancestors use this method?"

Li Junge said: "Because of the geographical relationship, the climate, pigments, and ink are all different from Egypt. Papyrus is easily deformed when it encounters water. It needs to use oily pigments, and Egypt's dry climate can preserve this. Our country is The latest among the four ancient civilizations, water-soluble ink and pigments were mainly used in ancient times, which is not suitable for this kind of grass paper. Our paper appeared in the Han Dynasty, thousands of years later than others, but the advantage is that the materials are easy to obtain and the process is simple , the effect is good, it is true that it has improved a lot.”

The two picked a lot of wild scallop mushrooms and washed them by the stream, Weiwei threw one into his mouth and said, "Ha, even though it's small, it's much more delicious than the yacon fruit from last time!"

Back at the camp, everyone has already returned. Uncle Orion has caught a pheasant and is cleaning it up.

Mountain runners are like this. Since there are good dishes, there is no need to rush to start. Let’s have a good tooth sacrifice first. At worst, if we make it easier at night, we can find time.

Li Junge sliced ​​the hericium and spring bamboo shoots, and cut a small piece of lean meat from the bacon, and cut it into thin slices.

The Uncle Orion picked off the meaty parts of the chicken belly, breast, thigh, and smeared it with salt and pepper.

The chicken rack, head, and neck are stewed first.

Li Junge stewed a pot of rice, added a little too much water, and scooped out some rice soup in the middle to serve as walnut food.

After the chicken soup was stewed and the chicken juice was thickened, Li Junge took off the remaining meat from the chicken rack, tore it into shredded chicken and threw it back into the pot.

Then put lard in another pot, after the oil has melted, throw the diced chicken fat into the pot for frying, fry it into oil residue, remove it, after cooling, throw the oil residue into Weiwei's small fish jar and shake it well for her to make snacks.

Then add slices of spring bamboo shoots that have been soaked in water, and then slices of lean bacon that can be used as a substitute for ham. Stir-fry a few times and then add shredded chicken soup. After it slurps, add slices of Hericium erinaceus, then cover and simmer.

While setting up the pot, re-fried the grasshopper from yesterday.

After the second frying, the taste of the grasshopper really comes out, it is crispy and fragrant, and Li Junge sprinkles some capillary salt and mixes well to serve.

The Hericium erinaceus over there was so stuffy that the juice was collected. Li Junge turned over the pot a few times, threw a handful of long wild onions, and then added salt and thickened the cornstarch. It was so delicious.

After reheating yesterday's leftovers, Li Junge scooped up a large bowl of rice for each person, then poured a spoonful of monkey head on it, and said: "Come, come, let's start the meal. Chicken sauce, ham, spring bamboo shoots and monkey head are covered with rice. Eat more Eat less food, so that you won’t get a stomachache when you climb the mountain later!”

Lao Li picked up a piece of Hericium erinaceus and put it in his mouth: "Oh, it's fresh and tender, no wonder it can be called the four famous dishes together with bear's paw, bird's nest, and shark's fin!"

Uncle Yaoshi said: "Those three dishes are all meat dishes. This monkey head is called 'vegetarian meat', and the name is not given for nothing!"

Lao Ding said: "Piwa's method is better. The whole process is made of mountain delicacies and game. There are no seasonings. The only seasoning is salt, which is the original flavor. It turns out that good dishes don't need seasoning at all, hahaha, Guangben The taste is so fresh that you can swallow your tongue!"

Lao Li said: "I have to thank Pharmacist and Orion, without you, where would I be able to eat such delicious food!"

Uncle Pharmacist waved his hand and said, "We ran the mountain ten times, but we might not be able to encounter a monkey head once. This kind of thing is rare here, but you scientists have a big face. This is the grandpa of the mountain god. We will follow you to enjoy the glory." ah!"

Wei Wei planed the rice with the soup: "The most fragrant thing is this juice! The combination of bamboo shoots and Hericium erinaceus is amazing, one is fragrant and soft, the other is crispy, which can't be eaten in the north! There are no fresh bamboo shoots in the north!"

Seeing that Weiwei was still looking at the fried grasshopper, Li Junge said, "Let go of the burden of being an idol and let yourself go! What are you afraid of, a tomboy?! Eat as much as you want!"

Wei Wei was so angry: "Who is a tomboy?! Make it clear!"

Lao Ding laughed loudly: "Who said that! Wei Wei is a beautiful girl, by the way, Wei Wei, do you have a boyfriend?"

Wei Wei frowned: "No, Professor Ding! Creatures like boyfriends are even rarer in the mountains than black-necked pheasants..."

Old Li was also amused: "What do you think of Lin Zhao?"

Wei Wei burst out laughing: "He? Too weak? He can be pushed down with one finger..."

Lao Li still defends his disciples: "Where is he as weak as you said?"

Li Junge smiled and said: "Don't say that I think Zhaowa is very good. If you can't let Uncle Yaoshi make up for him, I will pull him out to practice, and he will be strong. Weiwei, you are not looking for a donkey to ride. Why do you want to be so strong? Zongba and taro are strong, but they are so indifferent, it’s better to raise walnuts for peace of mind!”

After hearing this, several people burst out laughing.

……

In the next few days, a group of people walked through the mountains and gained a lot on the way.

The kinds of rare and rare treasures contained in Shu Mountain are astonishing, and the plants have successively discovered Bauhinia Valley, Rhododendron Mountain, Alsophila spinulosa forest, Davidia involucrata forest...

There are also many rare medicinal materials, such as Ganoderma lucidum, Tianma, Chuanxiong, Chuanwu, Eucommia, Achyranthes bidentata, Magnolia officinalis...

Animals such as lyre frog, stone frog, salamander, chough, rosefinch, babbler, owl, pangolin, macaque, civet, weasel...

Uncle Orion guides the beasts along the road, and asks Weiwei and Li Junge to install infrared cameras in areas where wild beasts come and go.

On this day, the group finally walked into a pine forest.

The soft pine needles are very comfortable to step on the ground, but Uncle Orion was a little entangled and said, "Today I can only eat stored food."

Weiwei picked up a pine cone and looked through the crack, but there was nothing there.

Li Junge said with a smile: "Weiwei, this is not the big red pine in the Northeast, these are masson pine, the pine nuts are very small, and the pine cones that fell to the ground have no pine nuts, and they exploded long ago."

Wei Wei said: "Then there is nothing to eat?"

Uncle Orion said: "This is not a native forest. The trees are too single. There are pine trees on the head and ferns under the feet. If you really want to fight hunger, fern roots, fern buds, and usnea can all be topped. For meat, there are only squirrels. Or it's a wild boar, but with the two fire sticks in our hands, it may not be a good thing to meet a wild boar."

Wei Wei looked at the pine forest with thick trunks, many of which were decades old, and said in surprise, "This is actually an artificial forest?!"

Uncle Yaoshi said: "That's right, this is the forest that was formed after aerial sowing in the eighties or so. It was very large at first, but then it was gradually squeezed out by the original forest, and this is the only one left."

Uncle Orion said: "Actually, the pine forest is also a good place, but it's not the right time to come. If you come in August and September, hehehe, matsutake, chicken fir, bigfoot mushroom, red mushroom, there are too many..."

Wei Wei sighed and said: "The land of abundance, it's really not for nothing. The northwest is sown every year, but no decent forest can grow. Here, there is still a situation where natural forests erode artificial forests..."

Uncle Orion nodded and said: "Speaking of this, it's true. Pharmacist, we seem to have broadcast that one time here, right? It was cut down too hard before, and a few big mountains were chopped down, but now it has recovered to look decent."

Uncle Pharmacist was elated: "The climate and geography of our Shuzhou is really biased by God. After it was said that we could implement the continuous production contract responsibility system, each family in the village took good care of their own land. Needless to say, even on the ridges of the terraced fields, small hoes are used to dig out layers of dens to gather beans and corn, and every family has food in those days, and they raise chickens and pigs for meat every year."

　A new month has arrived... Piaopiao is to Lao Zhou, just like space fish is to Baida, everyone can feed and feed as much as they want, there are no management regulations here...
