Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 263
It is said that July is hot, but for the Xing'an Mountains, which is in the midst of the great heat, it is only 24 to [-] degrees. This temperature can also be said to be the most comfortable day of the year, at least it is not cold at night.

The lush forests and dense branches and leaves seal the forest tightly, blocking people's sight and covering the blue sky.

Because of the heavy rain that had just fallen in the morning, the sun was transpiring at this time, and the mist rose from the valley, and the whole forest was soaked in milky white mist.

It's really like a fairyland.

Lu Lu lowered his head and searched in the forest, tree feet, bushes, weeds, dead wood piles, what he wanted was his eyes to discover, and he didn't even need to be too careful, there would always be surprises every few steps.

Chen Xiuyu was even more sharp-eyed, with a small wooden stick in her hand, pawing around, squatting down from time to time, picking out some mushrooms from the thick rotten leaves and weeds, running back and forth around Lu Lu, like a cheerful child, I was so busy that I was sweating.

Her body was covered with a lot of rainwater from the branches and leaves that had not yet been dried by the sun, her crested hair was also wet from the rainwater and sweat, and it was tightly attached to her forehead, her shoes were already wet, and even her trouser legs were already more than half wet. , but still couldn't hide the excitement in my heart.

Chen Xiuyu is an expert at picking wild vegetables, mushrooms, mountain nuts and medicinal materials, and Lu Lu has learned from them long ago.

In the past, the family conditions were not good, lack of food, drink, and money, so many things had to be asked for from Dashan.

In fact, most mountain people are very clear about what mushrooms can be eaten and what cannot be touched.

If you want to eat a safe and delicious mushroom, you don't have any experience.

Lu Lu was far inferior to Chen Xiuyu in collecting mountain goods. The things he picked up were mainly those he knew before buying mountain goods.

Yes... Only pick mushrooms that you know and can be sure of.

Don't look at it as if you just need to go to the mountain to pick up the mushrooms, wash them, and fry them in the pot and then eat them in your mouth, but you don't know these things. It was originally a delicious thing, but it has become a life-threatening one.

When you eat mushrooms, what you eat is experience, the experience accumulated by generations of people over countless years.

Some mushrooms, even if others tell you that they can be eaten, if you take them back and cook them badly, they can turn over a group of people.

Red umbrellas, white poles, and lying on the board after eating, this kind of rhetoric in later generations, although biased, is still a good piece of advice.

There is a plant kingdom in the southwest, which breeds countless rare treasures and also produces a large number of poisons.

The species of plants in the Greater Khingan Mountains are slightly inferior to the Plant Kingdom, but they are also quite complicated, and there are naturally many poisons, so we have to be careful.

Among the mushrooms, the most common ones are the poisonous cup umbrella and the deer flower fungus. It’s okay to say that these strange shapes and colors are strange. The key is that there are many poisonous mushrooms that are very similar to the rare mushrooms in the Northeast. Difficult to tell.

Such as hazel mushrooms.

This is a rare good mushroom.

But there is a kind of mushroom that looks very similar to hazel mushroom, commonly known as leg mushroom or dog pee moss, which is highly poisonous.

Look, leg kicking...it's no worse than a plank!
In later generations, every summer, almost everyone in the Northeast will receive text messages to prevent poisoning from eating fungi.

Therefore, Lu Lu picked them up very carefully, even the ones picked up by Chen Xiuyu, he would look at them, and only put them in the basket when he was sure.

After entering this pine forest, after more than two hours, the back basket carried by Lu Lu was almost full. There were many kinds of mushrooms, and it felt heavy and full of harvest.

Chen Xiuqing was not bad either, there were far fewer mushrooms in his own basket.

Not all people in the mountains are good at picking mushrooms. Some of these things look blatantly in case you don’t know the same, but many good mushrooms are always well hidden. I stepped on it and walked through it, only to see a mess when I turned around, which made my heart ache.

Chen Xiuqing was not very good at this aspect. Even though he was born and bred in the mountains, he was not even as good as Lu Lu in real comparison.

After seeing the pannier carried by Lu Lu, Chen Xiuqing was a little envious, especially when he saw the two sitting down to rest in the forest, and he was still wandering around, so he couldn't help shouting: "Sister , help my brother pick up some too."

"You can eat as much food as you have, and I don't usually see you eating less. Pick it up yourself, or I'm afraid you'll be stuck."

Chen Xiuyu glanced back at him, without the slightest intention to stand up, she kept clenching her fists and hammering her calves.

"How can you do this? Anyway, I'm your brother... I've never seen you like this. You've only been married for a few days and you don't recognize me!"

"Why can't it be like this? I'm your sister anyway... You know that I'm married, and you still want to order me around all day long, and you don't see you taking care of me!"

"I didn't take care of you, so what am I doing running to the meadow these days?"

"Obviously I just want to see if Yanzi is there, and I obviously want to have a relationship with my future father-in-law...

Brother Lu, you don't know, when you go to the mountains during this period of time, my brother comes to Caodianzi to bring tea and water to Wang Dalong, that's called hospitality.How dare you blame me for taking over the cooking, so that he can't see the swallows... Now he is ashamed to say that he is here to help me."

After Chen Xiuyu rolled her eyes at Chen Xiuqing, she turned her head and exposed Chen Xiuqing's background to Lu Lu.

"And this thing?"

Lu Lu looked back at Chen Xiuqing: "Qingzi, why did you tell me that you came to Caodianzi to look for me? You're so talented, you're almost a fool."

Chen Xiuqing became dumb all of a sudden, scratched her head after a while, and said with a dry smile: "I mainly came to see Brother Lu, as for Yanzi and the others, it was just incidentally..."

Seeing his embarrassed face, Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing immediately.

"Tie Pi Han Han... Brother, I am teasing you!"

Chen Xiuyu smiled, got up and started looking for mushrooms nearby.

Lu Lv moved closer to Chen Xiuqing and asked, "Did Brother Wang say anything?"

"It seems that they didn't say anything!"

Chen Xiuqing thought about it, and felt normal.

"I actually think that Wang Dalong should be very optimistic about my brother. He often talks to him. When we meet, he always smiles. At least he doesn't hate it."

Chen Xiuyu interrupted from the side, and just as she finished speaking, she suddenly ran forward: "Come here quickly, there are a lot of yellow elm mushrooms here."

Both Lu Lu and Chen Xiuqing followed. Ten meters away, on a rotten elm tree that had been felled, slipped along the trunk, densely covered with golden mushrooms.

Clusters of clusters are quite gratifying.

"It's a pity, many of them are already rotten, otherwise, the ones picked from this tree alone would be enough for half a basket."

Lu Lu looked at the limp and rotten yellow elm mushrooms, feeling a little pity.

Elm yellow mushroom This is a relatively common mushroom in the mountains.

In fact, in these years, it has already been able to plant artificially.

It can be found on the dead stumps or dead trees of birch, elm, and oak trees. It is not only delicious, but also has a lot of nourishing and strong effects and medicinal value. It is usually used to treat impotence and dysentery due to kidney deficiency.

The daughter-in-law has just turned eighteen, so it is necessary to invigorate the kidney as soon as possible!
When Lu Lu was about to ask Chen Xiuqing to put down the basket, just when Chen Xiuqing thought he was going to give these elm mushrooms, she saw that Lu Lu kept stuffing the mushrooms in his basket into his basket.

Seeing this action, Chen Xiuyu and Chen Xiuqing were taken aback for a while.

"Brother Lu, what are you doing?" Chen Xiuyu couldn't help asking.

"I like this one!"

Lu Lu glanced at Chen Xiuyu with a smile, and urged: "Hurry up, hurry up, take back more of the good ones."

"If you like to eat, I will pick up more in the future."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiuyu nodded with a smile, "There are quite a few of us in this mountain."

Chen Xiuqing also hurried to the front to help pick the yellow elm mushrooms. Only then did Lu Lu find a chance to blow into Chen Xiuyu's ear.

When she realized that the yellow elm mushroom had such effects, Chen Xiuyu's face turned red immediately, and she picked through the trunk of the elm tree with her head depressed, her hands and feet became more and more agile.

After picking out all the yellow elm mushrooms on a whole tree trunk, she still didn't forget to search in Chen Xiuqing's back basket, and put the yellow elm mushrooms she saw into her fully packed back basket, so that Chen Xiuqing could see them I was speechless for a while.

Afterwards, the three of them wandered around the mountain for more than half an hour, picking up all of Chen Xiuqing's back baskets, and then went to the meadow together.

The five dogs went into the mountains today to have fun. When the three of them were looking for mushrooms, they ran around in the woods. When they saw a bug, they could sniff it for a long time. When they met a butterfly, they could also chase it. Waste the energy accumulated these days.

Several pups have grown up a lot.

Going back at this time, even though they have been tossing a lot of time on the mountain, they still look very cheerful.

After turning over two mountain ridges, Chen Xiuqing chose to take a short cut and go directly back to Xiushantun, while Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu followed the way they came to Caodianzi.

When they arrived at Caodianzi, after a short rest, the two went to the small river together, sorted the mushrooms they had picked up, and cleaned them carefully.

After washing, Chen Xiuyu took a lot of yellow elm mushrooms back to cook, and Lu Lv sent these mushrooms to the cellar. He put nylon cloth on the simple wooden bed covered with thick black grass, Washed mushrooms were sprinkled on top, and the useful baskets and other luggage were also packed with mushrooms and hung next to the earthen stove.

Originally, Lu Lu wanted to put the picked mushrooms directly on the wooden kang for drying.

Each kang in Muke Lengli is connected to the stove in the kitchen by underground pipes. As long as a fire is lit in the stove, the kang will heat up quickly. The temperature is no worse than that of an electric blanket. It is also good for drying mushrooms.

But in the end, Lu Lu gave up after thinking about it. He didn't want to sleep on the hot kang in this hot day at night, then hug his wife, and heat it up and then heat it up.

Mushrooms are a good thing, but fresh mushrooms cannot be preserved for a long time. Many of them will rot and deteriorate or become infested with insects after one night, so they must be dried as soon as possible.

Relying solely on the slanting sunlight outside, there was obviously nothing we could do today.

Lu Lu could only put them into the cellar and light a stove to dry them.

Small space has the advantage of small space. In a small cellar, after the stove is lit, the temperature can be heated up quickly. It is also a good place to dry mushrooms, but it only costs more firewood.

Tomorrow, it can be put outside to bask in the sun.

Lu Lu felt that it was absolutely necessary to order a few wooden shelves in this cellar for drying.

Since Chen Xiuyu wants to invite people to harvest these mountain products, they will need to be dried frequently in the future.

Well, it seems that Wang Dalong and the others have to build a special baking house, which is a matter of time.

After adding a lot of firewood to the earthen stove, Lu Lu got out of the cellar, and Chen Xiuyu was walking towards him: "Brother Lu, the food is ready, go back to eat."

"alright!"

Lu Lu closed the cellar door, put his hand on Chen Xiuyu's shoulder, and made an appointment to walk back together.

When he arrived at the big kang, he looked at the food on the table, and Lu Lu was a little dazed. This was simply a feast of elm and yellow mushrooms.

Three dishes and one soup on the table, scrambled eggs with elm yellow mushrooms, fried meat with elm yellow mushrooms, tender and refreshing, are all home-cooked recipes, spicy elm yellow mushrooms, torn elm yellow mushrooms into several pieces, and pepper slices They are fried crispy together, which is also really fragrant. There is also a elm yellow mushroom soup made with wild shallots and wild leeks. The soup is definitely very fresh.

I have to admit that they are all very delicious and go well with meals.

only……

"If you say you like it, I'll make more!" Chen Xiuyu looked at Lu Lv who had a strange face, and said with a blushing face.

Lu Lu couldn't help laughing: "Daughter-in-law, can you handle this at night?"

　Thanks to the deer in the north of the book friend Lu and the south of Nuanyang for their rewards!
