Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 553 I found this Hericium erinaceus!
The wild sour pear tree is tall, but not thick, and it is easy to climb. Cheng He quickly climbed up.

Now with his skills, climbing trees is naturally not a problem, and there is no one else here, so he can be as handsome as he wants, no matter how difficult the tree is, there will be no problem.

Cheng He took the empty basket and tried to pick a full basket. Feeling that these were almost enough, he climbed down the tree.

Cheng Xinxin obediently waited under the tree, watching her father pick the fruit on the tree, more dexterous than a monkey, with a look of admiration on her face.

Dad is the best!
After Cheng He came down, she stepped forward actively and said, "Dad, I'll help you carry it."

Didn't Dad say it before?The basket will be a bit heavy and needs her to help carry it.

The little guy's responsibility immediately got up, and he insisted on helping his father carry it together.

Cheng He bent over halfway, lowered the basket, and let her follow the side of the basket, as if two people were working together to carry the basket.

Although it will be more tiring than carrying it alone, it is very happy.

When she grows up in the future, she probably won't have this kind of childish fun anymore, right?I wish she never grew up.

After taking two steps with the basket in hand, Cheng He asked, "Xinxin, shall we go back, or keep looking?"

Cheng Xinxin's heart was filled with a great sense of accomplishment with a basket full of harvest and helping her father carry the basket. She said excitedly, "Dad, let's find something more."

She couldn't think of what to do when the basket was full and couldn't fit.

Cheng He followed her and continued walking in the forest.At this time, the sun has risen faintly, shining on the ground through the thick fog and the leaves in the forest.

The light is cut into strips, illuminating the entire forest.

On this comfortable and comfortable morning, the father and daughter carried the basket and walked slowly in the forest, chasing birds and wild rabbits from time to time.

If the family dog ​​also comes along, it is estimated that a wild rabbit will be caught, and I will have an extra meal today.

But the dog has to guard the house, and its responsibilities are also important.

Cheng He can do it himself, but he doesn't want to move now. There are vegetables and meat in the refrigerator, and there is no shortage of food. Let these little things live for a while.

Cheng Xin's eyes were sharp, she saw something on a certain tree, pointed to it and said, "Look, Dad, there's a little yellow hedgehog over there."

Little yellow hedgehog?Hedgehogs still have yellow ones?

Cheng He looked in the direction she pointed, it was a rotten tree, not far from the ground, there was a yellow Hericium erinaceus growing!
Since it grows on the bottom of the tree and the location is very short, Cheng Xinxin saw it first.

This child, seeing Hericium erinaceus for the first time, actually recognized it as a hedgehog, hehe.

The fresh Hericium erinaceus is pale yellow and looks like a ball. There are hair-like things hanging down from the top. It is not like the thin fluff like dry goods, but it is still a little condensed.

At first glance, it's not uncommon for Cheng Xinxin to recognize the thorn-like feeling as a hedgehog.

Cheng He said: "Xinxin, this is not a yellow hedgehog, this is Hericium erinaceus, which is edible."

Not only can it be eaten, it is a good thing!

Hericium erinaceus is high in protein, low in fat, rich in minerals and vitamins, and contains a variety of amino acids and rich polysaccharides.Peanut butter is very good for stomach problems. It has the function of improving the body's immunity and can delay aging. It is really the top grade in mushrooms.

Many medicines to improve human immunity are extracted from Hericium erinaceus, which shows its medicinal value.Cheng He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a kind of oral liquid of Hericium erinaceus in the early years?I forgot about the treatment.Probably a stomach bug?

Now it seems that there is also a kind of nutritious breakfast paste, which also uses Hericium erinaceus as a raw material, and it is actively advertising it.As for how much it contains, I don't know.

All in all, this stuff is pretty good.

Even now, the market prices are not cheap. Many people go to supermarkets to buy things as gifts, which cost at least a few dozen pounds.It is still cultivated, and it is more expensive like this pure wild one.

This Hericium erinaceus is not small, almost the size of a fist, even if it is dried, it is very heavy.

Cheng He said happily: "The heart is so good. Dad didn't even see it, but you saw it. I'll go back and make soup for you later, okay?"

Cheng Xinxin was also very happy, jumping up with joy, feeling a sense of accomplishment!

This is what she found alone!

Hericium erinaceus can be eaten fresh, and in terms of nutritional value, it is better to be fresh. As for why it is sold as dry goods on the market, it is because fresh Hericium erinaceus is not strong in soup or vegetables. Not easy to save.

Fresh ones are not easy to come by, so in this case, you can only buy dry ones.

It seems that I was lucky today, I got fresh Hericium erinaceus, it really is the early bird that catches the worm.

Cheng He picked off the mushroom, piled it in the basket, and said, "Honey, this one is not enough, let's look around here again, okay?"

"Okay, okay." Cheng Xinxin was feeling complacent, she found something delicious by herself today, and she will look for it again to see if there are any other places.

Cheng He weighed this Hericium erinaceus, it was not small.

In this regard, he has a little experience, because it has been a breezy autumn and it hasn't rained for several days, so Hericium erinaceus is not heavy in water, so it is relatively easier to preserve.

Generally, if people pick Hericium erinaceus for sale, they also need to be dried in the sun, but if the water content is too high, it is not easy to get it back, and it is easy to mold, so they will let the mushrooms air-dry for two days, and then dry it a little Yes, get it back again.

Cheng Xinxin actively searched everywhere, but she didn't have such good luck anymore, Hericium erinaceus doesn't always grow in such short places.

On the contrary, Cheng He also found a few in some relatively high places.Some are too small, so I won’t pick them back, let them grow again.

The basket couldn't fit at all. It was full of sour pears before, and here was another pile of Hericium erinaceus, which couldn't fit in the pile. We had to find a way, otherwise, we couldn't get it back.

Cheng He thought of a relatively simple method, using dead branches that can be seen everywhere on the ground, to make a simple addition, and raised the side of the basket a little, making it look like a bucket.

Of course, it's just a temporary heightening, not a serious weaving, just to ensure that these Hericium erinaceus can be brought back today.

After completing the project, I simply found some more Hericium erinaceus, filled the raised basket completely, and stewed a pot of soup before going back.

If you can't finish it, go back and dry it before eating.

Now, the basket was heavy enough and not very strong, so Cheng He didn't need Cheng Xinxin's help to carry it, and carried it by himself, more securely.

When the father and daughter came back with their baskets, the house was still the same as when they went out, and no one got up.

Cheng He shook his head and sighed, "They're all slackers."

Cheng Xinxin also yelled, "They're all slackers, they're all slackers. We all brought our things back, and none of us got up."

Cheng He told her: "Baby, go and see if Mommy is up, do you want to have breakfast first?"

Cheng Xinxin happily ran to the bedroom, knocked on the door and asked, "Mom, are you up yet? Dad asked if you had breakfast..."

Before she finished speaking, the door opened, and Bai Qian yawned and went out, saying, "Honey, where did you go so early in the morning? Mom didn't even see you go out."

He stretched out his hand to touch her head again, and said, "Hey, is the mist at this end cold?"

Cheng Xinxin shook her head and said, "Mom, I'm not cold, I'm almost sweating from running, Mom, Mom, we just picked Hericium erinaceus, it looks like a hedgehog, Dad said, that's edible. I found it, Mom, that's what I found."

She was afraid that she didn't make it clear once, so she had to say it twice.

Bai Qian smiled in surprise, and said, "Really? Then mom is going to see what the Hericium erinaceus Xinxin found looks like."

Having said that, she has never seen fresh Hericium erinaceus.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw that Cheng He was already busy, washing the Hericium erinaceus first, and washing away the sediment.Oh, it turns out that fresh Hericium erinaceus looks like this!
No wonder it is called Hericium erinaceus, it really looks like a monkey's head.

Cheng Xinxin emphasized again: "Mom, Mom, I found this Hericium erinaceus. I saw it under that tree."

Bai Qian praised her: "Well, our family is so kind, and we can find such beautiful Hericium erinaceus, you should eat more today."

Cheng He said with a smile: "Xiaoqian, let me tell you what's going on. The first Hericium erinaceus grew in a very short place, so it happened to be seen by her. Tell me, it's really short. The benefits! If it weren't for her, I really wouldn't be so low to see it."

Bai Qian tapped his shoulder lightly, and said dissatisfied: "What are you talking about? Are we short-hearted? In her class, she is the tallest."
