Living in a Garage With an Alien Car

“Written. That’s why they dig pine mushrooms from the mountain and educate us.. We’ve been living with what the mountain gives us.”

Even if he bends down to find the Songi, he must have overcome the difficult mountain life thinking of the joy he felt when he found the Songi and the family waiting for him.

“Have you eaten? cluster?”

So, have you ever eaten properly?

I don’t remember.

I’ve eaten many mushrooms, but to be honest, I don’t even know the names of mushrooms.

The only thing I knew was the enoki mushrooms I ate while grilling pork belly.

There was also a mushroom that came out sliced white, but I can’t remember if it was a matsutake mushroom.

“… well. Honestly, I’ve never had a proper matsutake mushroom…”

“I tried pine mushrooms from Jirisan once today.

“Ah yes yes…”

While talking, we couldn’t take our eyes off the pine tree roots.

From the other side of the ridge, I kept hearing “I saw it!”.

Well… it’s not wild ginseng, but wild pine mushrooms are worth that much, so Hae-sik’s older brother explains that he shouts when he finds pine mushrooms.

Apparently, we haven’t even started yet.

“Warmmae, the pine mushrooms have been hidden.. I can’t see them… I can’t see them.

“Put.”

Hae-sik, who sings like a song, made me laugh because of him.

[It’s a little higher up from where it is now. 50 meters ahead]

Perhaps it was frustrating, Musong told me the location.

“Brother, shall we go a little higher?”

“It’s hard… to move sideways along the ridge…”

“Like my older brother said, wind, pine trees, and moisture.

“Eh?”

He is the older brother who squints his eyes at what I am pointing at.

Did the mountain man see what Musong saw?

“I don’t think it’ll be damp over there even if the wind blows… Let’s see..”

Tap the ground with a wooden stick.

“?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Hmm…, seeing as the ground is soft up there, it’s possible. Let’s go.. originally, pine mushrooms aren’t easy to get.”

Mushrooms are counted among the treasures in the mountains, so much so that there is a popular belief that you have to walk 10 kilometers to see them as rain.

“Warm Mae..!”

As if he had found something, Hae-shik bent down.

“and. older brother. Are these mushrooms too?”

“Written. This is a shiitake mushroom. Mushrooms.”

“Oh yeah? It looks really strange. It looks like cabbage, and the color is pretty..”

The broad head resembles an umbrella, but there are holes in the middle.

“Let’s see.. It’s not like you can eat all of it just because it’s called a clover.. but this will be fine. Doesn’t the fact that there are mushrooms mean that spores fly?”

“Shall we go up a little more?”

“Geulji.”

I carefully cut off the stem of the shiitake mushroom, put it in my backpack, and headed up again.

Now, it seemed that the location Musong had talked about was not far away.

[Now I just need to go up 10 meters more]

I’m looking forward to it without even realizing it.

It was unlikely that the scale would be small enough for Moosong to tell us how many mushrooms were forming a colony.

“uh!”

Before I could move a few steps, I also found a mushroom.

Unlike the shiitake mushroom I just discovered, it is dark brown in color and has a small, hard shape.

“I’m done with the players.”

“Mushrooms, right?”

“Bakdal mushrooms… you can eat them, but they’re much less marketable than matsutake mushrooms…”

I thought it was matsutake mushroom, which is considered the best because of its similar shape.

To prevent the mushrooms from getting damaged, he inserted a stick deep into the floor and lifted them up.

“Hmm.. The fact that there are bush clover mushrooms and buckwheat mushrooms means that there are pine mushrooms nearby..”

Suk.

Hae-shik’s eyes looking up at the place Musong had told him about were unusual.

‘I’m sure there is. Matsutake mushrooms…’

As he got closer and closer to the place Musong had told him about, his heart started pounding, and Hae-shik, who was looking at the floor as he climbed up, burst out of his mouth.

Treasures of Jirisan

“What is this! this.”

‘What are you looking at?’

I couldn’t see anything in my eyes.

Only fallen leaves and pine pine trees were crowded, and only thick roots with unknown origins were visible in places without order.

Hae-shik, who looked at the floor while breaking the larch trees piled up on the steep hill, beckoned urgently to come to me.

With a very excited face.

“Come see me. first base.”

“Yes, brother.”

I also jumped up in a hurry.

“Be careful this..”

I slipped several times on the wet larch and steep hill road, but it did not stop my curiosity and innocence of a 30-year-old.

“It’s okay.. It’s okay.”

I took my gaze to where Hae-sik pointed.

“Look at this..”

Carefully collecting the larch buried as if feeding a newborn baby, Matsutake, which is said to be the treasure of Jirisan Mountain and the best among mushrooms, appeared.

“and!”

A word I didn’t know came out of my mouth.

“..this…is this a song?”

“Grass.. isn’t it pretty?”

“Yes, it is very pretty. Should I take it now?”

“Will you give it a try?”

“Me?”

It was a bit of a burden.

“It’s easy.. The roots aren’t long, so you just have to put it deep like this and lift it up.

“I’m still trembling.”

“It’s okay, try this…”

On the other hand, I was grateful for Brother Hae-sik’s consideration for handing me the opportunity to collect the first harvest of the year.

Suwook.

As my older brother told me, I drove a wooden pole into the ground away from the pine trees.

The ground is not solid, so it feels like you are driving it into a sponge.

“..that’s right… now they’re slowly lifting it…”

I pressed the stick down like a lever, and the base of the pine mushroom that was hiding in the ground came up.

“That’s right… you’re doing well. ha ha ha.”

Picking up a pine tree hidden deep in the ground, he shouted loudly into the air.

“I tried! I tried! Whoa ha ha!”

It’s not a wild ginseng, but the cutting class laughs at it saying that it’s an expression of joy.

Natural matsutake mushrooms show off their fine appearance by carefully brushing off foreign substances on the outside.

“Wow, that’s really pretty.”

“This is almost the best.”

“is it so?”

“Ah.. Geuljwii.”

Depending on the condition of Songi Island, it is said that the grades are divided from 1st to 3rd grade.

It’s not much different from sharing beef, but the price is very different.

The larger the thickness and the size of the cap, the better the grade. Grade 1 is 8 cm or more in length and 3 cm or more in thickness.

then,

“The requirements are the highest level, level 1.. but you’re lucky for the first move.”

“Then… the price…”

“It’s over 150,000 won for one..”

“150,000 won?”

“The wholesale price is 130,000 won and the retail price is about 150,000 won..”

“Wow.. that’s great.”

“Then, it’s great.. This one weighs well over 100 grams. I don’t think it would weigh much because it’s small, but it’s sturdy and weighs a lot.”

It was the moment to confirm why matsutake mushrooms are called treasures and why Mt. Jiri at this time was called Mt. Golden.

“Would you like to try it?”

“yes? Can I eat this raw?”

“Ah.. a mouse. It’s so amazing.”

“I think it is too futile and wasteful to just eat this expensive food..”

“It’s okay.. I’m not saying let’s eat and live..”

I wanted to eat right away.

It was because I wanted to find out what kind of taste it is, why it is a treasure, and why it is so expensive.

However, the harvest was not over yet, so the tension could not be relaxed.

Certainly, Musong said that they were forming colonies here.

I also didn’t want to pop the champagne early.

“Brother, I think there are still more around here, so let’s take a closer look.”

“Hmm… I wonder if that’s right… that’s right. It is rare that there is only one Songi. It seemed.”

“Yes, brother.”

Brother Hae-sik put larch and soil in the grooves in the floor he had collected, and then selected the floor.

“This is how Matsutake can grow again in this place.”

“ah···.”

“Come to think of it, if you see clover mushrooms and oriole mushrooms at the bottom, the spores must have blown from this side.”

It is said that there is a high probability that there will be matsutake mushrooms in the vicinity if there are shiitake mushrooms, basil mushrooms, and oriole mushrooms.

The appearance of this mushroom is the reason why it is called the so-called Matsutake mushroom.

It is like the reproduction of life.

Songi is rarely alone.

When one is found, it sprouts in a colony of two or three near it.

This is because the spores are blown by the wind to germinate.

Whether it’s because my older brother can’t find it or if he’s doing it on purpose, he keeps wandering around in different places.

Finally, I also found the traces of Songi.

‘Ah… to hide in a tree like this.’

Plants are the same.

To protect themselves from wild animals, they hide with the same protective coloration as their surroundings.

I calmed my excitement and called my brother.

“Brother, look over there.”

“Draw something.”

When Hae-shik saw where I was pointing, his mouth was wide open.

“Warmmae.. Look at this. Hoon, do you have talent too?”

“Song, right?”

“Ah.. of course.”

A colony of matsutake hiding in a place about 1 meter away.

Hae-shik is busy exclaiming like a child after carefully picking up the pine needles.

“Hmm.! What is this! Wenniiiil..!”

It wasn’t just one or two visible.

I was so happy that I wanted to scream out loud without even realizing it.

“I tried…c…a…ugh.”

However, he stabbed me with a wooden stick.

I look up in amazement and bring my index finger to my lips.

“Shhh…”

“?!”

“This is what we want to know. Originally, the matsutake field was not told even to one’s son.. Only we should know about the hole where the matsutake grows and the place where the matsutake grows. It’s a secret. ugh?

foot…

Brother, isn’t it very different from before?

It’s something to laugh about.

Hyungnim’s actions and excuses are playful without being too light.

Naughty.. should I say he’s like a bad boy?

anyway,

“Yes, brother. All right”

“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen such a large colony of pine mushrooms. A few alternatives come out in this spot. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven…”

Hae-shik stopped counting with the wooden stick, sat down on his seat, and looked at me.

“How much is this… It’s a jackpot, a jackpot. It’s the biggest colony I’ve ever seen.”

Seeing my older brother happy made me feel good.

Following Hae-ru-jil and Gang-ru-jil on this trip, he now goes to mountaineering.

Collecting pine mushrooms like this is a great profit.

“Even if I see just one or two pine cones, I feel good and my head spins.

It seems to do just that.

If it was the former’s heavy hand taste, the feeling of joy felt in the head was no different from when catching a Dotdom.

“I had to bow before digging up the matsutake.”

“I will bow with you too, brother.”

“Draw and draw. This is all thanks to you, Hoon. You asked to come here.”

“no.”

“Mountain Spirit. Thank you so much for giving me this treasure from day one. Thank you. Thank you.”

My brother bowed three times.

It was an expression of gratitude to the extent that it gave the illusion that the spirit living in front of him was sitting there.

This is cognition.

It is a sign of sincere gratitude given by the sky, and isn’t it an attitude toward nature?
