Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 302 Deer-eared leek, training a dog into the mountains

"Let's go home. Today is really a fruitful day."

Lin Heng put the silvergrass into the basket and said happily.

His goal in going into the mountains this time was to harvest some Ganoderma lucidum and randomly pick up some fungi.

Although the harvest of Ganoderma lucidum was not as large as last year, the unexpected discovery of Silver Anchorage was a worthwhile trip.

Walking back with Xiongba Lin Heng, they were already out of the forest at around three o'clock in the afternoon.

"This is down to the river."

Lin Heng looked around and found that his location was still below the apple forest.

He was familiar with this place and quickly found the way. He could go home by walking upstream along the forest path.

After walking through the forest for a while, I suddenly heard someone talking. After taking two steps forward, I saw a few people picking up fungi.

"These are for you to eat. I will also go back to dry the mushrooms. In addition to these deer-eared leeks, I also picked up two baskets of porcini mushrooms and more than ten kilograms of chanterelles." Mother Lin waved her hand and walked out.

Lin Heng said impatiently as he pushed open the courtyard door.

After climbing over the mountain, he saw his house and the tall ginkgo tree in the center of the village.

"Come here, I have some too."

This is a very delicious wild vegetable in the mountains. It is rich in nutrients and contains a variety of amino acids and minerals. It can also clear away heat and detoxify, regulate physiological functions and improve immunity.

Lin Heng took a look and found that he was not familiar with it either, so he smiled and walked straight over.

These people were in the woods on the path and their voices were so excited that they didn't notice Lin Heng at all.

"Chanterelles, shiitake mushrooms, yellow head mushrooms, green head mushrooms...wait, why are there such anemone, and there are so many Ganoderma lucidum!!"

Lin Heng had no choice but to look at his mother and say, "In fact, Xiong Ba is partly responsible for his nose being very sensitive."

Seeing Lin Heng, Li Yan smiled and said hello: "Hey, Lin Heng, have you picked up fungi too?"

Li Yan also came over to take a look curiously, and looked at Lin Heng in surprise: "Why do you feel like you can often pick up good things?"

"Yes, pick some up and take them back to eat." Lin Heng agreed casually.

She finally discovered something was wrong.

"Wow, Uncle Lin, you even got a silver anemone!" The little girl exclaimed and looked at Lin Heng with envy. She knew it was very valuable.

Lin Heng looked at the wild vegetables in the basket and said in surprise: "Mom, you actually picked deer-eared leek, that's amazing."

She was extremely envious. Such valuable medicinal materials were so rare. She was just lucky if she could pick up a few chanterelles. She didn't expect to encounter these things.

The first person to speak was Mother Lin.

Xiongba seemed to understand and protested a little.

"Let me tell you, no wonder you take the dog with you every time you go up the mountain, and you even hide it from your mother and me." Mother Lin suddenly looked clear.

Li Yan's daughter ran over to see Lin Heng's harvest.

"Wang!"

After saying a few words, he quickly ran away. A large part of the reason why he was able to pick up good things was because of Xiongba.

"Hey, I got rich today, so many chanterelles."

The small basin in their village looks very beautiful from a distance. It can be said that it is a combination of fertile farmland and beautiful houses.

"No, it's just good luck. This is the place where I picked it up last year, and I went there again this year. I went to Baishigou." Lin Heng smiled and spread his hands.

Xiulan blinked her big, smart eyes and looked at Lin Heng, as if asking what to do.

"Of course." Mother Lin said proudly. She just came here to give Xiulan some food and share her joy.

"Awesome." Lin Heng gave a thumbs up.

The two of them looked at each other one by one, and their mouths opened wide in shock.

"I'm not hiding it from you, because I mainly rely on myself." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Mother Lin turned around and looked at Lin Heng: "Recruiting truthfully, how do you get such good results every time you go out?"

"What are you so excited about?"

With that he placed the basket and bag in front of them.

The most important thing is that it tastes good and has a unique taste.

Lin Heng was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Mom, you are here too. Do you think this is a good thing?"

"Honey, I picked up something good today."

"Even dogs don't believe it!" Mother Lin rolled her eyes, then pointed to the bamboo basket next to her and said, "But you are not the only one who got the good stuff, I got it too."

"No, I'm just lucky." Lin Heng said casually.

Mother Lin still didn't believe it and turned to look at Xiulan: "Xiulan, you must know. Please tell me, good daughter-in-law."

"Leave it to me." Xiulan poured the things on the ground and started picking.

Lin Henggang took two steps down and met Li Yan, a woman from the village. With her was her five-year-old daughter.

"Then I'll plant these ten silver-leaf lilies first."

Lin Heng went to the backyard with a hoe and ten silvergrass plants with soil balls.

Anemone, like other orchids, likes a moist environment. If it grows in deep valleys or under forests, it will die easily when exposed to the sun.

Lin Heng planted a few trees in the corner and some under the orange tree.

Whether you can survive or not depends on your fate. Logically speaking, the climate here is quite suitable.

After planting the anemone, he went back to help deal with the fungi.

The sun is very hot today, so pick out the dirt and bad fungi, keep some to eat at night, and the rest can be taken out to dry.

There is no need to cut chanterelles and mushrooms, just dry them directly. Boletus and green head mushrooms need to be cut and dried.

Ganoderma lucidum needs to be steamed slightly and then dried to avoid worm growth.

Anemone is also dried directly. He weighed two ounces of wet ones, five pounds to one pound, and not even half a pound of dried ones. He could only keep them for himself, or slowly save up to one pound.

There were some of each variety of mushrooms that were left to be eaten. Xiulan cut them into pieces, soaked them in salt water for a while, drained them, and then stir-fried them in a pot to remove the moisture.

Fresh mushrooms will taste fresher if not blanched.

After stir-frying, take it out and add a little sour cowpea to stir-fry the pork belly at night. The flavor will be so delicious that it will melt your tongue.

Lin Heng ate a piece of watermelon and went to pack his things to prepare for going into the mountains.

This time he will not stay in the mountains for half a month like before. He will go quickly and return quickly. He will only stay for about three days at most.

Therefore, you don’t need to bring so much equipment. You don’t need to bring pots, pans or anything else. Just bring water bags and food for survival.

In addition to bows and slingshots for hunting, they mainly include ropes and iron clips for lower sets.

It’s easy to put away and done quickly.

After the equipment was ready, he went over to find his elder brother. It's almost five o'clock now, I must be back.

When I opened the door, I saw the eldest brother's family processing mushrooms at a glance.

"Brother, do you think our harvest today is okay?" Lin Yue pointed at the mushrooms piled in front of him and said with a smile.

"There are so many, you guys are awesome today." Lin Heng was shocked. They must have picked all the porcini mushrooms, which covered two hills.

The eldest nephew Lin Wei smiled and brought a bench to Lin Heng: "Second father, you sit down."

"But I'm pretty lucky today..." Lin Heng sat down and said with a smile. If the good things are to be found, his mushrooms, Ganoderma lucidum and Silver Anchor. You can only eat the porcini mushrooms yourself, you can't sell them for much money.

Liu Juan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then smiled helplessly: "Compared with you, we are just a pile of junk."

"No, I don't have much." Lin Heng waved his hand, then looked at his elder brother and said, "Brother, do you want to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow?"

Lin Yue suddenly became excited, looked at Lin Heng and said, "You want to go hunting? Are you not going to take care of Xiulan?"

He had wanted to go for a long time, but he couldn't go too far without Lin Heng. He could only hunt a dozen pheasants near the village.

Lin Heng nodded: "Yes. But it's not the previous ten-day and half-month hunting. This time we can only go for two days at most. Let's buy some nooses and clamps and just check them every few days."

"That's it, that's okay. Xiulan is pregnant and you are really not suitable to stay in the mountains every day. Then what time should we leave tomorrow." Lin Yue looked at Lin Heng and said with a smile.

"We will set off at four o'clock tomorrow morning, and we can catch an early morning trip into the mountains." Lin Heng said that hunting occurs in the morning and evening, and most wild animals are active during this time.

A day after a rainy day is also a very good time, as the old marks and smells in the forest have basically disappeared. On a sunny day, new wild animals reappear, leaving new scents and footprints, making it the best time to identify them.

The hunting time he chooses has also been studied to maximize the impact of the dominance.

"Okay, I'll get up on time." Lin Yue nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll leave first. I'll go to Hongfeng Mountain to take the dogs. The main thing is dog hunting tomorrow." Lin Heng nodded. Now Laifu and Fengshou have grown up, and after his preliminary training, they can take them with him. Went into the mountains to hunt.

After saying that, he turned around and left, heading towards Hongfeng Mountain.

After seeing Lin Heng leave, Liu Juan said very positively: "I will prepare food for you right away."

She has been working hard to make money recently, digging herbs and picking mushrooms every day, and picking honeysuckle all day long without even eating.

For no other reason than to save enough money to ask Lin Heng to help open a store in the village, she and her husband have been running around for this purpose.

It's just that they don't have a treasure-hunting tool like Xiongba, so the benefits from digging for herbs and mushrooms are not great. Liu Juan was extremely excited to be able to go into the mountains now. Even a squirrel in the mountains could beat the ordinary herbs she dug for ten days.

"Well, I'm going to pack up the weapons and get ready." Lin Yue also stood up and said. He also valued the hunting opportunity and wanted to make money on his own, so he couldn't always rely on his younger brother to lead him.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

When they arrived at Hongfeng Mountain, Lin Heng saw his father holding a fishing rod by the grass carp pond and asked curiously.

Father Lin glanced at him, turned back and said with a smile: "Let's see how big the grass carp is. This fish is really easy to catch."

Father Lin pointed to the grass carp seedlings in the bucket.

Lin Heng came over and took a look. The fry was smaller than he expected, about one or two pounds in palm length.

"You can feed more in the back, and you can also cut the grass and throw it in for feeding. Grass carp likes to eat grass." Lin Heng said.

"I know this, so I'm going to do this." Father Lin nodded and looked at him again, "Why are you here?"

"Take the dog and get up early tomorrow to go hunting." Lin Heng said with a smile and explained the general matter.

After hearing this, Father Lin nodded slowly: "It's okay to go for a day or two, but please pay attention to your safety."

"Don't worry." Lin Heng nodded, walked to the warehouse and pulled down the green wolf dog Laifu.

Its body is a little thicker than the thin dog Fengsheng, and it walks very majesticly. In a few months, it will probably be almost as big as a Xiongba.

Seven months is considered semi-adult, but the body is almost fully developed and can go into the woods to practice.

Lin Heng led him back and it was already past five o'clock when he returned to the house.

It was still early when the sun set, so Lin Heng pulled Fu He Fengsheng forward to conduct training before departure again.

The so-called dog hunting method is very simple, that is, taking a dog into the mountains to find prey. It is difficult for a dog to catch up, but if there are more dogs chasing and intercepting it, the possibility of catching it will greatly increase.

Lin Heng trained on basic commands such as standing up, sitting down, and running. There was nothing wrong with Fengshou, the thin dog who was always by his side, and he already knew the rules. However, something happened to Laifu, the green wolf dog.

"Woof woof!!"

Lin Heng gave it a bone, and when he reached out to get it, it suddenly bared its teeth and roared.

Lin Heng frowned slightly and looked at it and stretched out his hand again: "Good boy, give it to me."

"Woof woof!!"

This time it struggled even more fiercely and bit at him, but he wasn't bitten as quickly as he could avoid it.

The next moment, he kicked the dog in the mouth, pulled the chain with one hand and grabbed the dog's mouth with the other, and pulled up several big mouths.

"Ouch...Ouch!!"

After taking a look at Laifu, who was wailing and screaming, he threw the bone over again, and then reached out to pick it up.

"Come on, keep barking and protect the food for me to see?"

"Hiss...roar!!"

Having learned the lesson from the last time, this time it only dared to bar its teeth and did not dare to make any other movements.

However, the next moment, Lin Heng's fist came again, and it was a fight between several expressionless faces.

"Come on, keep going!"

Lin Heng went back and changed it into a piece of meat, then threw it over and continued.

This time, Laifu didn't even dare to make a sound.

Lin Heng smiled: "Keep going, isn't it awesome?"

This dog had been somewhat protective of its food when it was a child, and he corrected it, but he didn't expect it to become serious again now.

In this regard, he will only attack with a ruthless iron fist. Whether it is Laifu or Xiongba, as long as he dares to protect food, there will be consequences.

He is raising a dog, not an ancestor. If he has a bad character, he will be changed by you. If he cannot be changed, he will die, especially if he has a bad character like biting people to protect food.

The same goes for other animals. The prerequisite for raising you is that he is the master. There is no such thing as a naturally obedient dog. They are all made of fists. This is how the ancients tamed wolves thousands of years ago.

It seemed to have recalled its previous memories. Even if Lin Heng took the meat away from its mouth, it would no longer resist. At this time, Lin Heng would give it some comfort.

Then he threw another piece of bacon to Xiongba, and when it was halfway through eating, he said, "Bring it to me."

"Ow~"

Xiongba looked at Lin Heng, walked over and spit out some of the remaining meat.

"Okay, you can continue eating." Lin Heng touched its head and said with satisfaction.

Then I tried Harvest, a black thin dog, and Lai Fu, a green wolf dog, again.

Until before dark, he would just wait a few minutes to test Laifu. If he dared to protect the food, he would be beaten, and if he behaved, he would be petted.

In the afternoon, Xiulan has been making soft pancakes, as well as palm-sized scallion pancakes with cumin leaves.

"The soft pancakes are for us to eat in the evening. You can take the scallion pancakes into the mountains to eat." Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said.

"I understand." Lin Heng nodded and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Xiulan shook her head gently: "No, I'll just stir-fry some garlic deer ear, leek and pickled beans with mushrooms, and we'll have dinner soon."

"I'll do it, you go out and rest."

Lin Heng pulled her out of the kitchen and started cooking.

The two dishes were quickly fried and brought to the table to start eating. The soft pancakes were spread out and topped with stir-fried meat with deer ears, leek, sour beans and mushrooms. Finally, they were rolled up with a little tofu curd and spicy sauce. After one bite, everyone was covered in it. fulfilled.

"Delicious!!" Lin Heng nodded repeatedly. This was a fragrant, nutritious and perfect dinner.

"Eat more meat." While Xiulan ate herself, she also served Lin Heng and Xiaoxia some vegetables.

The three of them finished their dinner talking and laughing, and then went back to the house to rest after enjoying the coolness for a while, because Lin Heng would get up at four o'clock tomorrow morning to go hunting.
