Chapter 25 The first brood of chicken fir trees this summer [Please recommend, recommend]

August 5th, Lixia.

Lixia means saying goodbye to spring and officially entering summer.

It's raining lightly.

Dad came over early in the morning and collected several carts of duckweed with Chen Mo.

When it's raining, don't harvest rye or alfalfa.

"Has the eel you fed here come out?" Father Chen asked after making a pot of tea when he got home.

"I saw some a few days ago." Chen Mo said.

"How big is it?"

"The big one weighs seven or eight taels. The small one weighs about half a catty." Chen Mo said.

"That's okay, is it a lot?"

"I don't know, there should be quite a lot. Last summer, it looked like a lot." Chen Mo put out the recliner, lay on the chair, and read the novel.

It was raining lightly, and it didn't stop until evening.

This rain is pretty good.

The rain nourished the earth, and the rye and alfalfa in the navel orange forest began to grow wildly.

If there is no fish farming, it should be very easy to just manage this orchard.

But when raising fish, grass carp is mainly raised, and a lot of duckweed, ryegrass or alfalfa must be fed every day.

Now that my father is here to help, it is still very easy, and I am busy for more than two hours a day.

Time passes day by day, and the flowering period of the oranges on the hillside has passed, leaving many small fruits on the trees.After applying fungicide and combing the fruit again, they are in their twenties.

Entering summer, there have been several rains this month, and one heavy rain.

At the current pace, it's pretty good.

The navel oranges in the orchard are almost the size of a thumb.According to the normal process, fruit combing should be in June...

After finishing the work in the orchard, the weather started to heat up, and Chen Mo didn't want to go fishing anymore. He was bored and counted the fruits on the trees at home.

The navel orange variety here at Chen Mo is Newhall navel orange.

Chen Mo roughly counted and found that on average, there were about 1 fruits on a tree.Even if three are 200 jin, if they are all mature, the yield of one tree is [-] jins.With such a high yield, even though they have been irrigated by spiritual springs, it is only the third year since these navel orange trees were transplanted.

The navel orange trees in the orchard are mainly tree umbrellas that look big.But the branches are not big, so you can't hang too many fruits, otherwise, the branches won't be able to bear it.

With nothing to do, Chen Mo continued to comb the fruits, picked another half and threw it away.This is to prevent possible consequences later...

If there are particularly many fruits on the tree, comb the fruits in advance and never get them all at once.Otherwise, if there is any accident, there will be no way to remedy it.

After all, normally, navel oranges won't bear fruit until June.At that time, if there were many fruits on the tree, the fruit would be combed.

Some time ago, my father told my mother to stop looking for too many things and spend more time in the orchard.

If you manage these fruit trees well, you can earn more money than growing vegetables.

If you just want to produce ordinary navel oranges, there are not many things to do in the orchard.But if you want to harvest high-quality navel oranges and sell them at a good price, you have to manage them well. There are still many things to do.

This year's weather is hot, and the summer shoots appeared in April, probably due to the effect of Lingquan, which caused the summer shoots to grow very fast.When combing fruit, it is necessary to control the tip.

"Mom." Chen Mo shouted.

"What are you doing?"

"Bangzitian, have you ever seen it?"

"I went to see it yesterday." Chen Ma said.

"Is there any water in the field?"

"I'll go pump some water in the afternoon," Chen's mother said.

"I feel like there is really no need to plant that field. If you have the skills to manage rice, why not spend more time in this orchard." Chen Mo said.

"You've already planted it, but you don't want to manage it?" Mother Chen said.

"If I hadn't mentioned your mother some time ago, your mother would have planned to plant half an acre of vegetables." Father Chen said.

Chen Mo picked small oranges from the tree and broke off the new summer shoots: "Our family has managed this orchard well, and that's enough. Just plant some vegetables for your own consumption. Don't plant too many."

"I know." Mother Chen said.

"How many plum trees are there at home?"

"There are more than a dozen trees." Father Chen.

"Can you eat it?"

"It is estimated that it will be in the middle and late June..."

There are more than a dozen Heibulin trees at home. When this kind of plum is not fully ripe, it is very sour.You have to wait until the pulp is soft before it becomes sweet.But usually they don’t wait until they are completely harvested…

Chen Mo chatted with his parents and continued the work at hand.

Xiao Hei is at his father's side.

During this time, Dad mostly feeds Xiao Hei. Dad also likes to take Xiao Hei with him, so he and Dad are very close.

Xiao Hei looked quite big, probably weighing more than ten kilograms, and he was still bouncing around when he walked, very active.

"There are fighting cock mushrooms here." Father Chen shouted.

Chen Mo trotted over, a cockfight mushroom with an open umbrella, the diameter of the umbrella cover was estimated to be twenty centimeters.

With a sickle in his hand, Dad carefully dug up the surrounding soil.

The stems of this cockfighting mushroom are also large. If dug out, they would weigh at least 1 kilogram.Although the umbrella cover is open, this cockfighting mushroom is not old yet and looks quite tender.

The ryegrass here had only been harvested two days ago. Chen Mo took a look nearby and found two more cockfighting mushrooms less than two or three meters away.These two cockfighting mushrooms have not yet opened their umbrellas, and their stems are as thick as large eggs.

Father Chen dug for a long time before digging out the fungus and filling the hole.

Fighting cock mushrooms grow out of termite nests. As long as the termite nests are not destroyed, they may be picked up later.

Some termite nests only grow fungi once a year.There are also termite nests where fungi will grow many times a year.

Chen Mo knows a few termite nests where gallinopsis fungus often grows. In one of them, last year, gallinopsis could be picked up almost every day.

For those chicken coops last year, Chen Mo would also water some spiritual springs after digging the fungi.I just don’t know if Lingquan has any effect on Jicongwu...

After digging out the fungi, it was past eleven o'clock.

"Mom, work is over, go back and cook." Chen Mo shouted.

"You go back and cook and call me, I'll do it for a while." Chen Ma said.

"It's past 11:30, I'm going back, and I'll come out in the afternoon." Chen Mo said, "It's too hot, don't do it."

Mom, as long as there is work, she wants to be able to finish it on the same day.

The weather is already very hot now. When working in the orchard, my clothes are easily wet with sweat.

Chen Mo started to wash rice and cook. Dad washed the fungus and tore the fungus into strips.

My mother cut up pork belly and made a stir-fried pork with green peppers.

Chen Mo washed a piece of ginger, waited for his mother to finish cooking, and went to the kitchen.

Chen Mo’s personal feeling is that the cockfighting mushroom is the best mushroom among the cockfighting mushrooms.

Heat up the pan, pour oil, add sliced ​​ginger and sauté until fragrant, then stir-fry the cockfighting mushrooms until fragrant, then mix with water and cover the pot.After boiling on high heat, cook for another 3-[-] minutes, add some salt, and start the pot...

The cockfighting mushroom soup only needs ginger slices and salt, no other seasonings are needed.

When dinner was ready, Chen Mo served a bowl of cockfighting mushroom soup to his parents each: "Is there anyone selling cockfighting mushroom soup in the market now?"

"I didn't see it for sale." Chen Ma said.

"The fungus must have just come out." Dad Chen said: "When the fungus comes out in large quantities, grab an old hen and stew it."

Chen Mo nodded and drank chicken conong soup.Chicken fungus soup has a delicious taste similar to chicken soup. The transparent clear soup blooms with a strong umami flavor in the mouth.

Some people commented that gallinobacteria are the most delicious mushrooms.

In Donglin, common edible mushrooms include chicken fir, beef liver, green head mushroom, milk fungus, pine mushroom, etc.Among these mushrooms, the most delicious one is indeed the chicken fir.

A small mushroom like chicken fir can make a big bowl of chicken fir soup.

Moreover, the fungus is delicious no matter how it is cooked. You can make soup, stir-fry, stew chicken, stew pork ribs, etc. As long as the dish is added with the chicken fungus, you don’t need to add other seasonings. The taste of the fungus itself is just the same. Especially fresh.
