Chapter 144 Little Snake Flower

"Hey, Uncle Liu, look what this is, isn't it a mushroom? It's very beautiful." Tongtong walked and paid attention to the wormwood around her, where she could find traces of cicada shells from time to time.

She was picking a cicada husk from a wormwood leaf, and suddenly found a dark green thing that looked like a small straw hat growing on the ground, and there were many net-shaped snake skins on the neck.

"What's the matter?" Liu Junhao thought he had found something good, who knew he rushed over to have a look and said with a smile: "This is called a little snake flower, it's nothing to look at."

This thing is not very rare in Liujiagou, it can be seen in some humid places almost every year, and it is a small piece when it comes out.

According to the older generation in the village, the little snake flower is a snake that lays its eggs in the mound. After a while, the snake eggs will hatch, and then slowly grow into a small snake. This kind of straw hat that has grown into dark green is a kind of The little snake crawled out of it.

Liu Junhao also felt very scared when he heard it when he was a child. He faintly felt that there were little snakes crawling around this thing.In order to prevent the little snake flower from growing snakes, he would act first every time he saw it.Use a small wooden stick to dig out the little snake flower from the soil and trample it to pieces.

But this thing seems to be digging endlessly no matter how much you dig, every time you just dig out the ground, but it grows a lot within two days.

Later, he got angry and dug along the roots of this thing, and saw many snake eggs that looked like small eggs, which were soft to the touch. After picking them apart with a wooden stick, the insides were crystal clear and transparent The jelly has no small snakes at all.

Only then did he realize that the story was a lie.It's just that I got used to it later, and when I saw the little snake flower, I couldn't help digging with a stick.

"It's so beautiful, I'll pick two." Tongtong was very interested in this thing, and carefully squatted on the ground and pulled out two plants and held them in her hands.

Although the sun was scorching hot at this time, the forest was full of green trees, so the three of them didn't feel hot and dry.

Walking along the way, those chickens and ducks kept screaming and surrounded them, but Liu Junhao beat them away with bamboo poles.

But Xiao Haoyu was in high spirits, taking out cicadas from time to time to tease them, hanging them far behind.

In other words, this forest has almost become a breeding ground for him and Professor Zhao. Those chickens and ducks usually jump here when they have nothing to do, catching grasshoppers and cicadas.

Within a few steps, those little rabbits also jumped out, running wildly around a few people, even Tong Tong didn't evade when he reached out to hug them.

It took an hour to wander around this forest, and I caught fifty or sixty cicadas in the iron bucket, not to mention the chickens and ducks I just fed.

"Grandpa, look at Uncle Liu helped us catch a lot of cicadas!" From a long distance, Xiao Haoyu ran forward with an iron bucket to claim credit.

"You're going to mess around. Your Uncle Liu still has business to do." Although Professor Zhao reprimanded him, he had a kind face.

"What nonsense?" Tongtong was rather annoyed, "We caught and fed the chick, let it grow faster, and then it can lay a lot of eggs."

"Okay, what you said is reasonable..." Professor Zhao couldn't help but asked in surprise when he saw the thing in her hand, "Tongtong, where did you find this thing, let grandpa have a look."

"I saw it in the woods just now. There are a lot of it. Uncle Liu said it's called the Little Snake Flower." Tongtong handed it over as if offering a treasure.

"A lot?" He looked carefully, as if he saw some rare treasure.

"Don't taste it, it's not a mushroom, it's poisonous." Seeing that he reached out and tore a small piece and was about to put it in his mouth to taste, Liu Junhao was startled and hurriedly stopped him.

"This thing is really poisonous, shouldn't it?" Professor Zhao looked at it again, looking at him very confused.

"That... I also heard from people in the village that no one has tasted this thing..." Liu Junhao explained.

"Have you ever heard of anyone eating poisonous food?" Professor Zhao asked.

"Not this one"

Khan, what is this called? Who would foolishly pick a few and taste them knowing that they are poisonous? Isn't that a disease of the brain?

"Do you know what its scientific name is?" Professor Zhao spread the thing in his hands again.

"I don't know, I only know that the name of the soil is Xiao Snake Flower," he really didn't know this.

"Let me tell you, this thing is called bamboo fungus, and it is called 'the flower of mountain treasures' and 'the queen of fungi'. It is very nutritious and delicious. It has been listed as one of the "Eight Treasures of Grass" since ancient times. It is an indispensable tribute in the current state banquet. You know the price of wild bamboo fungus, which is equivalent to gold."

After listening to Professor Zhao's words, Liu Junhao was almost dumbfounded.

Is this thing so valuable?Equivalent to gold!

"Take me to have a look, and I will identify it carefully." Professor Zhao has eaten the artificially cultivated bamboo fungus a few times, and it was all sent by his students.

At that time, he didn't know what it was. After listening to the students' explanation, he searched a lot of information to find out the origin of the bamboo fungus.This is the first time I have seen this wild one. According to the book, it is a cryptogamous fungus that parasitizes on the roots of dead bamboos, and generally grows in bamboo forests.

But these bamboo fungi were found in the woods, so he was not sure.

"I'll take you there, I'll take you there..." Tongtong immediately pulled his hand and rushed forward.

Equal to gold, equal to gold!Liu Junhao hasn't recalled it until now.

If this little snake flower is really a bamboo fungus, then I am blind to gold and jade.When he was a child, he dug a lot of these things. According to Professor Zhao, he was throwing away gold for fun.

Tongtong remembered exactly where Little Snake Flower was, and led everyone to their destination without any effort.

The grown bamboo fungus has a dark green cap on its head, and a snow-white stipe covered with a snakeskin-like net, which looks very beautiful.

There are still many caps on the ground that cracked from the soil and turned pink under the sun.

"It should be bamboo fungus, good guy. It's wild. Hurry up and pick it up. I'll make you a crispy bamboo fungus fish for lunch." Professor Zhao checked it again and again, and finally nodded in affirmation.

So a large group of people squatted on the ground and got busy. There seemed to be a lot of bamboo fungus, but there were not many when it was time to dig, especially when Professor Zhao repeatedly ordered the newly unearthed ones not to move.

"Weigh how heavy it is." After everyone found the forest, Professor Zhao asked him to weigh it with his hands.

"Six Seven Twos" Liu Junhao's hand feeling becomes stronger with practice, and when weighing small items, the error is very small.

"I'm afraid it will weigh half a catty after drying, and a catty of bamboo fungus is worth a tael of gold. This half catty is worth more than 1000. Should we eat it or sell it?" Professor Zhao is now a little bit reluctant.

"Let's eat it." Liu Junhao became interested, and wanted to taste what this legendary royal tribute was like.When I see Pang Xu next time, I can also brag about it. I have eaten royal tributes.

Although Professor Zhao was [-]% sure that this was the bamboo fungus, he immediately called an old classmate of his who studied fungi to inquire after returning home, and finally took a few photos and uploaded them online.

The classmate quickly called to confirm that it was a wild bamboo fungus. It turned out that this thing not only grows in bamboo forests, but also may grow on other plants, but it is relatively rare due to environmental restrictions.The three-dimensional cultivation technique of corn interplanting Dictyophora that has been developed recently is to sow Dictyophora and corn at the same time, and use corn stalks to shade and moisturize Dictyophora eggs.

This can also be regarded as dual-use in one place, and the compost of bamboo fungus can improve the soil, thereby promoting crop production.

In the end, the old classmate kept yelling not to eat it, and he wanted to spend money to buy it back for research.

"You do some ghost research, don't think that I don't know that you want to buy it back and eat it." Professor Zhao knew what kind of idea this classmate had.

Teacher Wang has made several dishes with bamboo fungus, so he is familiar with it.She soaked the bamboo fungus in water and washed it once, then cut it into small pieces and continued rinsing. Then she piled the large grass carp Liu Junhao had chosen in half, and chopped the clean fish meat into dumplings.

Sprinkle salt and seasonings and stir well, put the minced fish into the bamboo fungus, dip in egg liquid, sesame, etc.

When everything is ready, put the bamboo sun fish into the oil pan and fry until it is golden brown.

When the crispy bamboo fungus fish was ready, Teacher Wang specially asked Liu Junhao to call Zhang Qian and bring her over to try it out.

This dish tastes refreshing, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich aroma in your mouth.
While chewing slowly, Liu Junhao calculated in his mind how many grams of gold he would eat in one bite.

After eating, he went into the house to find out what the bamboo fungus was. After checking, he was really a bit of a noob, and there was information about bamboo fungus everywhere on the Internet.

Khan, the people in the village have been begging for food for so many years. Who is it that rumored that this little snake flower is poisonous!

After checking the information, he thought about planting some bamboo fungus in his yard.

This thing is really delicious and nutritious. If you can plant some, it will be convenient for you to eat in the future.Thinking of this, he began to look up the planting techniques of bamboo fungus on the Internet.

It seems that there is no complicated technology, just get some bacteria.

He just did what he said, and immediately ran outside to discuss with everyone.

Professor Zhao was also interested in research, so he naturally nodded in agreement, so the two of them carried the shovel and went to the woods to dig up fungus buds and hyphae.

They didn't have time to make compost according to the steps mentioned on the Internet. Instead, they directly dug up the bamboo fungus with clods of soil with shovels, and prepared to transplant them back.

According to the Internet, this bamboo fungus is easier to grow in bamboo forests.Professor Zhao directly planted them in his own bamboo forest, and then covered the edges with thorns to prevent other livestock from trampling on them.

And Liu Junhao buried a lot of bamboo leaves in the plot, and of course he also secretly put a lot in the stone lock, and he was going to do a comparative experiment later.

My spring water might also have an effect on the fungus, so I will send a catty or two to Zhang Qian's parents after they are planted.

Dictyophora is equivalent to gold, and it is definitely a high-end gift.

This has just been planted, and he has already begun to look forward to the future.
