Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 860 Life in the Mountains
Most of the people who rely on mountains to eat are wood. There are two large wooden buildings here, but they must be a little old, and the wooden walls have turned brown and black.

The wooden house was built on a foundation built with stones, and a dam had been bulldozed on one side, and a lot of wood was piled on it. It seemed that it was the posture that Team Li said he wanted to build a new house.

The bacon had already been stewed in the kitchen, and there was still a half-baked chicken on the dam. When Zhou Zhi smelled the smell coming from the steamer in the open stove by the open dam, he praised: "Bamboo fungus! Good stuff!"

Dictyophora is a miraculous fungus. Dictyophora has a strange smell and is unpalatable.

Dictyophora needs to be made into dried mushrooms, so that the umami substances can be decomposed and formed. After that, they need to be soaked in clean water, and then steamed in a steamer. When the peculiar smell evaporates and the mushroom fragrance comes out, the dishes can be made.

This is the authentic bamboo fungus method of people in the mountains.

"There's nothing to entertain in the mountains, just these things." The third sister-in-law said: "Everyone sit down casually, I'll go and cook."

"Don't treat us as guests." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Let's help out too, let's make it faster together."

"Oh, what's so embarrassing?" The third sister-in-law said with a smile: "It's good to let Dingding and Yaogu'er fight."

"Let Dingding and Yaogu take the girls around." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Look for a beautiful place to take pictures. We are all hands-on at work, don't sister-in-law San trust us?"

It's hard for the third sister-in-law to refuse: "Then you go to the vegetable field at the back to pick some vegetables, and the corn is still tender now, if you like to eat, bring some to cook."

"Monks, go, I'll take care of the offal." Zhou Zhi sent Yang and them away: "Sister-in-law and I are working and setting up a Longmen formation!"

Chicken offal intestines and crops are considered dirty by many people, but Zhou Zhi doesn't shy away from it at all, so the third sister-in-law is relieved that a city kid who can handle chicken offal will not be hypocritical.

Zhou Zhi poured water on the open chicken crops and commented: "It's all bran leaves and sweet potatoes, this chicken is definitely delicious."

"This is a black-bone chicken back from Hongshui. Let's try to see if it is different from the Jiachuan breed." The third sister-in-law is cutting the bamboo shoots swiftly. At this time, the most abundant bamboo shoots are bamboo shoots in the mountains. Dead smoked sun-dried bamboo shoots.

"Jiachuan black-bone chicken is completely black, including the internal organs, and the red water one seems to have black skin and bones." Zhou Zhi has already discovered the difference: "In fact, no matter what kind of chicken, as long as it is not forced to grow, it will grow naturally. All delicious."

"Yes, like the three yellow chickens, reed chickens, which eat grain naturally and grow for half a year, and it is as delicious as white-cut chicken with pepper and moji." Just by looking at the way the third sister-in-law handles the bamboo fungus, I know that she is an expert, and she speaks clearly.

"Sister-in-law three, I have a problem that I have been unable to figure out." Zhou Zhi asked, "Three yellow chickens and reed chickens are big and meaty. Since the quality of the meat is mainly affected by the breeding method, isn't it the best of both worlds to raise fine-bred chickens with traditional methods?"

"Well, the third brother thought the same way at the time," the third sister-in-law couldn't help laughing when she heard Zhou Zhi's question, "It's just that I didn't think about how much these guys can eat concentrate!"

Zhou Zhi gave the third sister-in-law a call and immediately understood: "It means that fine-bred chickens are only suitable for raising for half a year. If they grow older, they will not be worthwhile."

"Yes!" The third sister-in-law said with a smile: "Our silky chickens are small and resistant to extensive breeding. After one year of breeding, the feed consumption is only half of that of fine-bred chickens, but their size can be two-thirds of that of fine-bred chickens. If you want to feed them, local native chickens are actually more cost-effective than fine-bred chickens.”

"There is one more important thing. The wealth and hair are not counted. The disease resistance of native chickens is much stronger than that of foreign chickens. Foreign chickens are so stupid that they don't even know how to hide when eagles come!"

The two chatted and prepared the ingredients at hand, and the third sister-in-law was relieved: "Elbow is really a good helper."

At this time, Dingding ran back, took a pannier from the pillar of the house, and ran to the back. The third brother who had just put away his things saw him: "What are you doing, like a dog chasing you?"

"There are a lot of santang mushrooms in Baogudi!" Dingding shouted: "Sister asked me to come back and get the basket!"

"Really?!" Zhou Zhi suddenly became interested: "There are a lot of mushrooms here?"

"It rained a little the day before yesterday." The third brother said, "Since all the three mushrooms have come out, let your sister go to some mushroom nests to have a look."

"Eh!"

"Dingding, wait for me..." Zhou Zhi couldn't sit still: "I'll take a look too!"

There are more than a dozen plantains on the edge of the corn field. When they are green and yellow, they can also be used to feed pigs.

On the loess under the banana tree, a cluster of off-white mushrooms emerged. Aunt Lu Yao was digging carefully with a bamboo stick, while Jiang Shuyi and the others watched with great interest.

"It's really three halls of mushrooms." Zhou Zhi looked around: "Then there should be two halls left, why don't you go look for them?"

"I'm afraid there will be snakes." Jiang Shuyi said, "Guy Yao told us not to look around."

Zhou Zhi pulled out two bamboo sticks for climbing beans from the ground: "Dingding, let's look for it."

Santang mushroom is actually Xiaojicong, one of the most delicious mushrooms. It is named this because it has a habit, that is, after finding one, there are usually two not far away.

"The ones in Baogudi are usually pickle sticks," Dingding said, "It's actually not poisonous."

Pickle poles are called everywhere, and the name refers to different snakes everywhere.

In the Jiachuan area, this name refers to the red chain snake, which is a relatively bright color, causing many people to regard it as a poisonous snake, but it is actually not poisonous.

The two searched in the cornfield again, and sure enough, they found two pieces of mushrooms in the middle of several cornfields.

"Brothers and sisters all have stuttering!" Dingding was very happy.

Stuttering is a local dialect, which means good luck.Zhou Zhi felt that the child had a good personality, and he would think of his elder brothers and sisters first if he had something delicious, and said with a smile, "You also have a stutter."

"My uncle said that he still needs to go to Guwozi to see, so I will specify to have more." Dingding said: "My uncle usually doesn't talk empty words."

"We're here to help!" Liang Hong brought the girls over. Now that there are Zhou Zhi and Dingding, snakes don't seem so scary anymore.

Digging mushrooms on the yellow mud ground is actually a technical job. Fortunately, with the guidance of Dingding, no major mistakes were made, and the chicken firs that were taken out were perfect.

The stem of the chicken fir is as thick as a little finger, and there is a small gray cap that has not been opened on it. This kind of mushroom is the best time to eat.

After picking the chicken fir, everyone was highly motivated, and followed Lu Yaogu to the hillside to look for "Guwozi".

Guwozi is a fixed place where mushrooms are produced. Every family in the mountains has a map of special products in the forests near their homes. Among them, the place of mushroom production is an important configuration. A good mushroom nest can even produce one or two hundred catties of mushrooms every year.

Mushrooms are usually found in Qinggang forests. This is a kind of shrub used as firewood in rural areas. Mushrooms like to grow in it very much.
