Salted Fish Dad, Passive Farming

Chapter 20 Seafood Bird’s Nest, Mountain Delicacy Hericium

Next, Dou Hua followed Wang Zai and temporarily picked chicken fir.

Ji Ran searched alone and found several kinds of edible fungi.

For example, straw mushrooms, small white mushrooms, Agaricus mushrooms, green head mushrooms and so on.

Every time I find a new species, I ask Wang Zai to come over and remember the smell.

Although they are all mushrooms, the smell seems similar at first glance, but if you distinguish carefully, you will find that each mushroom has its own characteristic smell.

Wang Zai's dog nose is unusually good, and he can firmly remember the smell of every mushroom as long as he smells it.

As more types of mushrooms are remembered, the efficiency of the dog-shaped mushroom hunting machine will rise in a straight line.

Wang Zai was in charge of searching, Dou Hua was in charge of picking, and the mushrooms in the basket quickly increased.

Ji Ran found the last edible fungus on the outskirts of Lingshan, and after letting Gouzi remember it, he followed Wang Zai.

The girl has little strength and strength, and can't keep up with Wang Zai's rhythm at all. She lacks picking experience, and she only picks a lot of mushrooms. This is a bit wasteful, and it is not conducive to the fresh preservation of mushrooms.

Once Ji Ran joined, the efficiency was completely different.

In just half an hour, the big basket was full.

Mushrooms are light, but they can't support a large number. Ji Ran weighed them, and five catties is only a lot more.

"Girl, I'll go back and carry a big basket."

If it weren't for Meng Kai's bad intentions, Ji Ran would never have thought of dispatching Wang Zai's dog-shaped cheat, would he lose his gaming experience, wouldn't he?So I only brought a basket.

After telling his daughter, Ji Ran went home and fetched a big bamboo basket.

Put the basket that has been loaded to the tip in the bushes and hide it, and continue the action with the back basket on your back.

Another half an hour passed, and the load on the big back basket was over half, which was enough to weigh seven or eight catties.

Suddenly, Wang Zai seemed to smell something special, and his nose twitched wildly.

While smoking, he looked up at a dying old tree with cracked bark and dead branches in front of him.

Douhua followed Gouzi's gaze, and suddenly exclaimed, "Dad, look quickly, what's on that tree?"

Ji Ran also looked over, and in the next second, he was in a state of mind that was incomparable to others, and his eyes shone with joy.

I saw two fluffy white things with the diameter of a rice bowl growing on the trunk of the half-dead tree.

Looking up, at first glance, it looks like the heads of two monkeys.

Looking at those two things, Ji Ran was very happy and said, "Daughter, we have something delicious for lunch today."

"What is that? Is it really delicious?" Douhua couldn't help yearning for it when she heard the words. She knew that her father was a big mouth, and even he said it was delicious, so this thing must be really delicious.

"There is an idiom called 'fish and bear's paw, you can't have both'. The fish in the idiom refers to the shark's fin; the bear's paw refers to the soles of the black bear. These two dishes are among the four famous dishes." Ji Ran Looking at the thing on the tree trunk at a 45-degree angle, he talked eloquently, "But this thing ranks first among the four famous dishes!"

Douhua was surprised and even more excited, "The first of the four famous dishes? So powerful?"

"Of course, this ranking is recognized by senior foodies from ancient times to the present." Ji Ran nodded with a smile, "Hericium, a delicacy from the mountains, and bird's nest from the sea. The so-called Hericium refers to it, the Hericium mushroom."

Dou Hua said, "It's called Hericium erinaceus, no wonder it looks like a monkey's head. But it grows on trees, how do we pick it?"

"Look at your father."

I have been wild in the mountains and forests since I was a child, and the bird nests and eggs of the disasters back then, ahem... In short, climbing a tree is not a problem.

……

Then I went home and fetched a hatchet, and chopped it with a crackling sound. Ji Ran cut two rattan sticks, one thick and one thin, in the woods, and then replaced the big back basket with a hidden carrying basket.

Then, with a flexible operation of the thick rattan, a hoop was made.

Then tie one end of the thin rattan to the handle of the basket, and the other end to the waistband.

After the preparations were completed, Ji Ran took off his coat, went under the tree, and started with a set of stretching exercises to activate his muscles, bones and ligaments.

The trunk of this tree is as thick as a person's arms, Ji Ran is fearless. When he was young, he climbed a tree that was much thicker than this one.

The rattan hoop covers the tree trunk, the wrists are inserted into the ring holes at both ends, and the hands are firmly grasped, the feet that take off the shoes and socks jump up, step on the tree trunk, and the knees tightly clamp the tree trunk.

"Father, be careful." Dou Hua instructed.

"Don't worry, Dad, I was a well-known tree climbing expert in the village back then." Ji Ran smiled.

Douhua said, "A little tree climber? Is that better than a monkey?"

"Monkeys are better than Dad." Ji Ranhan alone, no matter how good a person is at climbing trees, he can't compare with monkeys.

As he spoke, the hoop moved upwards, and he kicked hard with his feet. Ji Ran used his hands and feet together to climb up quickly.

Under the tree, Douhua was dumbfounded, dad crawled so fast.

Wang Zai looked up at the dog's head, and it was dumbfounded when it saw someone climbing a tree for the first time.

The Hericium mushroom is located less than two stories above the ground, at the intersection of branches and trunk.

Ji Ran arrived successfully with a few "swish swish" swishes, riding on a branch, first lifted up the basket, then carefully picked off the pair of Hericium erinaceus and put them into the basket.

Then borrow the cane and lower the basket to the ground.

Then 'whoosh whoosh', quickly returned to the ground.

Douhua smelled the unique aroma of Hericium erinaceus in the basket, "This mushroom is so fragrant, so cute, plush and like a doll."

"Yeah." Ji Ran nodded, pointed to the basket, and cheerfully gave instructions to Wang Zai, "Wang Zai, remember its smell, we won't look for other mushrooms, we will look for this one next."

Ji Ran didn't know what the wild environment requirements of this thing were, anyway, he picked it up once in Lingshan since he was a child.

At that time, Ji Ran thoroughly remembered its appearance and its taste.

Ji Ran really didn't expect to pick up Hericium erinaceus in the woods this morning. It felt like he had won a 500 million grand prize.

Right now, there are enough mushrooms of other varieties, and it is absolutely no problem to crush Meng Kai.

So, then look for Hericium erinaceus.

This wild product is an out-and-out good thing!That delicious taste, that rich nutritional value, that contained medicinal value... tsk tsk tsk.

It is said that the market sells hundreds of thousands of catties!And in the south, it's really hard to buy if you have money, it's really rare.

……

Time passed and quickly approached the agreed two hours.

Meng Kai took Jiang Zirui and walked back with most of the basket of harvest, feeling happy in his heart.

In the past, when he spent half a day picking in the forest, he only picked up about two catties. The trees around Lingshan were dense, and the leaves on the ground were too thick, so it was really hard to find.

Today, Zi Rui, who is experienced and nimble, harvested at least three catties in just two hours.

Meng Kai strongly felt that today's match was settled.

Wang Zai is such a smart dog. If he takes it back, he will definitely love his mother-in-law and the two Maos to death.

Half a month is enough for me to cultivate my relationship with Gouzi.At that time, Wang Zai's surname will be Ji or Meng, who knows, hehehe.
