Chapter 110 Delicious matsutake (please recommend)
Although it was less than a year apart, when Mu Shanhe and his party came to Zheng Tie's house again, they saw a brand new farmyard.This two-story brick and wood structure house was naturally a new home that Zheng Tie spent money to build for his family.

When Zheng Tie returned home after receiving the bonus last year, he immediately told his parents to ask for help in building a new, more spacious home.Firstly, since he is not married, it would be easier to find a marriageable girl to build a new house. Secondly, there are indeed not enough rooms at home.

Even my younger siblings who are still in school live at school most of the time.But every winter and summer vacation, they eventually have to go home to live.The house that my father built in the early years now seems obviously not enough for living, so it is natural to build a new house.

As the only young man in the village who has built a new house in the past two years, Zheng Tie has undoubtedly become a celebrity in Shiliba Village.It's a pity that he didn't pay much attention to the partners introduced to him by the matchmaker years ago. He still wanted to find someone he liked.

Even if Zheng Tie's parents thought that their son's vision was too high, they couldn't say much when they saw that their son was determined.As Zheng Tie began to support his family, his parents naturally had to take care of their son's emotions in some matters!
Facing Mu Shanhe and his entourage who came to visit again, Father Zheng said with great gratitude: "Boss Mu, thank you very much!"

"Uncle, I have nothing to thank you for. Brother Tie deserves this. He works for me, and I pay him wages, as it should be!"

"Hey, this bastard doesn't know anything except serving as a soldier and learning to drive. If there's anything he doesn't do well at work, just tell him. It's okay, he's a tough guy. If he doesn't obey, you can beat him!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zhicheng and others couldn't help laughing, and Zheng Tie's face turned red.Fortunately, they are all old comrades, so it doesn't hurt to be teased a few times.But this kind of scene still made Xu Siwen feel very warm.

After chatting, Mu Shanhe asked Father Zheng to take out the excavated matsutake mushrooms, and pulled Xu Siwen over and said, "Old Xu, these are the matsutake mushrooms grown in Ninggu. You shouldn't have to worry about selling matsutake mushrooms of this quality, right?" "

Picking up an unopened matsutake, Xu Siwen nodded and said: "The matsutake in this condition is indeed good, but the value of these open matsutakes may be greatly reduced. It's a pity that our sales channels have not yet been opened."

"It doesn't matter! This year, we will first purchase some matsutake for samples and bake them directly into dried products. In fact, if I guess correctly, most of the matsutake provided by the high-end restaurants in Xiangcheng are dried products stewed. Right?"

"Hmm! Where do you plan to build the drying plant?"

"Are the machines ready?"

"Ready! In fact, it doesn't take much time to build such a drying plant."

After listening to Xu Siwen's story, Mu Shanhe immediately said: "Then tomorrow, you contact the local government in Ninggu and build a small drying factory directly in Ninggu. In the future, good-quality mountain mushrooms can actually be dried into dry goods .

In the case of matsutake mushrooms, depending on their quality, they can be divided into special grade and first and second grade. The price of special grade is a little higher, and the price of first grade is a little higher than that of second grade.At that time, I will take the dried matsutake and contact the customer to finalize the sales price. "

"Okay, then I'll take care of this! It's just the price. How do you think it should be decided?"

Faced with Xu Siwen's inquiry, Mu Shanhe thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Zheng, are there many big flower fungi like this on the mountain?"

"When the year is good, there are more, but when the year is bad, it is very difficult to pick. In the past, when we went up the mountain, we were not willing to pick this stuff. This kind of big flower fungus is not as delicious as hazel mushrooms and other fungi!"

Such a straightforward answer made Mu Shanhe somewhat helpless, but he still continued: "When you usually collect large flower fungi, do you always pick the ones with open umbrellas? It should be more difficult to find large flower fungi without open umbrellas, right? "

"That's the truth! Boss Mu, can this thing really be sold for money?"

"Yes! Uncle Zheng, if you go up the mountain and dig these large flower fungi without umbrellas, how many can you dig in a day?"

"That depends on your luck! However, it should be easier to find it now when you go up the mountain. There are more big fungi without open umbrellas. At the end of the day, I think it will be no problem to dig up five or six kilograms. In the past, we were not willing to pick this stuff when we went into the mountains. "

After listening to Zheng Tie's father's story, Mu Shanhe thought for a while and said, "Uncle Zheng, do your best tomorrow and lead us into the mountains to have a look. If there are really many of these fungi, then you must take good care of them in the future. The stuff can be sold for money." "Really? It's not worth just a few cents per pound, right?"

"That's definitely not the case! I can't say the exact price now. I'll have to wait until I go into the mountain to see it."

"Okay, then early tomorrow morning, I will take you into the mountains."

The night he arrived at Zheng's house, Mu Shanhe ordered Zhao Zhicheng to take out the charcoal grill he had specially prepared.After asking Zheng Tie to light the charcoal, he immediately took out dozens of good-quality matsutake mushrooms and asked Sun Xuan and others to process them.

Seeing that Sun Xuan was about to wash it directly, Mu Shanhe said directly: "It is best not to wash the matsutake mushrooms. Use a knife to peel off the sediment that appears to be attached. For those black fungus coatings, rub them off directly with your hands, clean them and rinse them with water. Just one click.”

"Mr. Mu, can't these fungi be washed with water?"

"It's not that it can't be washed, but it's better not to soak it in water after picking it. That will soften the matsutake easily, and the taste and aroma will change. If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself when you have the opportunity. "

"it is good!"

Listening to Mu Shanhe's story, even Xu Siwen, who had eaten matsutake before, heard that eating matsutake was so particular for the first time.After processing and rinsing a dozen matsutake mushrooms, Mu Shanhe cut them into thin slices with a knife.

Then take out the butter prepared in advance and spread it on the preheated iron plate. When the butter melts and becomes hot, Mushanhe then spreads the chopped matsutake mushrooms evenly on the iron plate for frying.

Smelling the fragrance that instantly emitted, Xu Siwen also said excitedly: "This matsutake smells so good!"

"It's normal! If not, how can it deserve the reputation of being a delicacy? In fact, high-end ingredients often only require the simplest and most unpretentious cooking methods to taste their true ultimate deliciousness."

After explaining with a smile, he saw the matsutake mushrooms grilled on the iron plate were slightly charred, and he immediately sprinkled a small amount of salt on them, and then tasted them first.Feeling the taste of charcoal grilled matsutake in his mouth, Mu Shanhe also felt that this was a kind of enjoyment.

Looking at the other people who were watching eagerly, Mu Shanhe immediately said: "You guys should try it too, it tastes really good!"

At his invitation, the first baked matsutake slices were divided up by everyone in an instant, and some people didn't even have a chance to eat them.Fortunately, after clamping the iron plate, there are still a lot of matsutake slices left to be fried, so I don't have to worry about not being able to eat them for the time being.

Even Zheng Tie's father, at the invitation of Mu Shanhe, tasted two pieces of fried matsutake, chewed and said: "The taste is indeed different from what we have eaten before, but will it be too troublesome to do it this way?" Already?"

"Uncle Zheng, it's okay! The rich people in the city like to eat like this. They think it's more delicious."

I know that in the early years, people in Zhengtietun did not like to eat this kind of matsutake, which is called the big flower fungus.The most important thing is, which ordinary people will prepare ovens and butter to eat matsutake like Mu Shanhe?

But for Sun Xuan and others who tasted matsutake for the first time, they really felt that the fungus was very fragrant and crispy.Finally, at Mu Shanhe's suggestion, everyone tried the open-umbrella matsutake, and found that the taste was indeed much different.

It wasn't until they tasted it themselves that they finally understood why the same fungus was divided into three levels.Each grade of matsutake tastes really different, so the price must also be different.

But for Xu Siwen, he felt that if the matsutake was still delicious after drying, the richest people in the country would probably give it a try.So for the next acquisition, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it and ending up with it!
