Returning to 83 Mountain Hunting

Chapter 123 There is such a good thing here to start a fire! (Please order in full)
With this order of [-] pieces, Ji Chang doesn't need to worry at all.

It's a pity that Ji Chang doesn't have enough money, otherwise he could still add some orders.

Poor!

Ji Chang felt that he was too poor and it was too difficult to accumulate original capital.

However, it is this step that locks countless people at the bottom.

After communicating with Gu Shuyao for a while, Ji Chang left home with two hounds, riding a donkey, some food and water.

Now that she could use an owl to pass messages, Gu Shuyao felt much more at ease.

After leaving the city, Ji Chang did not go towards the winery.

He had almost explored that area, and he had already figured out the situation there.

Today, he is going to the sorghum field of the winery, where there are rolling mountains.

After the reservoir is built, this area will also be surrounded by water.

Ji Chang built the reservoir not only to build a power plant for his clothing factory, but also for fish farming.

The water here is cold water, suitable for breeding cold-water fish.

Although the growth rate will be slower, it will have little impact on the water body and the taste will be good.

He plans to sell these fish at a high price, so it doesn't matter if they grow slower.

There is a lot of sorghum planted in the sorghum field, which looks like waves of wheat.

A place like this is still very pleasing to the eye, but it's a pity that there are no drones now, otherwise the picture would be particularly beautiful if it flew around.

Therefore, Ji Chang was quite envious of the two goshawks in the sky.

They can fly freely and see the beautiful scenery overlooking the sky.

July is approaching, and the sun has become more fierce.

He was wearing a looser shirt and a hat, and the sun did not cause him any harm for the time being.

It took Ji Chang half an hour to cross the sorghum field and then enter the forest.

After entering the forest, the air became slightly humid and the temperature dropped a bit.

Therefore, the body feeling is quite comfortable.

Ji Chang took off his bamboo hat and started looking for mountain goods.

It is not easy to find prey at this time, most of them are hiding in their own holes.

Even squirrels, many hide in tree holes.

Walking in the mountains and forests, breathing the fresh air made Ji Chang feel very comfortable.

This is why he likes to go to the mountains. The smell mixed with various plants can only be experienced in the mountains.

Soon, some matsutake mushrooms were often found.

"I didn't expect that we also have matsutake mushrooms here, right?"

Ji Chang said to himself very unexpectedly.

He really didn't expect there to be matsutake mushrooms because he had never seen or heard of them.

Matsutake needs to be moisturized, so Ji Chang went to find some moss and spread it under the basket.

Ji Chang came out this time with a basket, which originally contained some food.

But he removed the food and used it to hold the fungi.

Covered with a layer of green moss, the entire basket looks high-end.

Then Ji Chang picked up the matsutake.

Wild matsutake has a special smell, and Ji Chang wants to try Ping An and Qinghu's sense of smell to see if they can find other matsutake.

Ping An and Qinghu sniffed themselves and sneezed involuntarily.

Well, it does taste a little too strong for them.

But after Ping An shook his head, it started to act.

He raised his head and took a sniff, and then he took a step forward.

Ji Chang followed decisively, still looking forward to it.

If the matsutake here is produced, it can be promoted.

The quality here may not be as good as that in Yunnan, but as wild matsutake, the price is certainly not too low.

This kind of bacteria must be exported to make money, and the current domestic consumption level is not good enough.

In Ji Chang's impression, these pine forests seemed to have disappeared in his previous life.

If nothing else, these pine forests must have been cut down and sold for money.

If there were precious mushrooms like matsutake, people would not need to cut down trees to make money, but could make money by picking matsutake, which would better protect these pine forests.

Because of the existence of pine forests, matsutake mushrooms grow. Without pine forests, there would be no matsutake mushrooms.

"You really found it!" Ji Chang shouted to himself after discovering that Ping An had found a matsutake.

"Good dog, so safe." Ji Chang took out a piece of meat to reward Ping An, after all, he found the matsutake.

Perhaps it was Ji Chang's reward that stimulated Qinghu. It also barked and then ran in the other direction.

Ji Chang dug the matsutake that he found safely out of the soil. Iron tools cannot be used to dig matsutake. It is best to dig with sharpened hardwood.

After digging, you need to cover the pine needles again to give the matsutake a chance to grow again.

Because the roots of matsutake contain spores, they will grow again under suitable conditions.

After taking care of it, Ji Chang decisively chased in the direction of Qinghu.

When Qinghu left, Pingan did not follow him. He seemed to want to give his brother a chance to show off. He squatted directly next to Ji Chang and waited very quietly.

It is said that a smart dog has the IQ of a human child of five or six years old. Judging from Ping An's performance, he definitely has it.

After it saw Ji Chang standing up, it walked in the direction Qinghu left. At the same time, it didn't forget to look back at Ji Chang to see if he had followed.

"Wang."

The cry of the green tiger rang out in the forest.

Soon, Ji Chang and Ping An looked over and saw two matsutake mushrooms growing together.

"Good Qinghu, come here!" Ji Chang took out a piece of meat and rewarded Qinghu with it.

Ji Chang did not pick it directly, but took out his camera and took a picture of the matsutake.

This can be regarded as a forestry resource. He is now a specially appointed investigator of the Forestry Bureau. When he encounters rare mushroom resources such as matsutake, he also needs to record them.

After taking the photo, Ji Chang dug out the matsutake mushrooms.

With Ping An and Qing Hu, Ji Chang can follow them to pick matsutake mushrooms with peace of mind.

Before I knew it, it was noon.

Ji Chang only found 9 matsutake mushrooms. The largest one was as big as a baby, and the smallest one was two fingers wide and one finger long.

There are still some very small ones that I haven’t picked yet, so I’m going to come back next time.

The yield of matsutake is indeed relatively low, but the yield here is even lower than Ji Chang expected.

He thought that he could go back to Lin Shoubin and see if relevant personnel could study it and see if it was possible to breed matsutake mushrooms in the wild and increase the production of matsutake mushrooms.

In later generations, there were artificially cultivated matsutake mushrooms, which showed that this technology was feasible.

"It will be noon before we know it. Let's find a place to see if we can eat roasted matsutake mushrooms." With that, Ji Chang started walking towards the mountain col.

The place where you cook must have a water source, firstly for water use, and secondly for fire safety.

The mountains and forests here are full of springs and small streams, and the water resources are very abundant, so it is easy to find places that meet regular needs.

After arriving at a mountain col, Ji Chang not only discovered a water source, but also found many footprints left by wild animals.

This shows that there are animals nearby to drink water, which is an ideal hunting spot.After clearing away the weeds by the water, Ji Chang picked up some rocks and built a fire pit.

"I'm lucky, I found a slate." Ji Chang moved a slate back and was very happy.

With this slate, he can eat delicious grilled matsutake mushrooms.

Although matsutake can be eaten directly grilled or boiled, the most classic one is grilled matsutake on an iron plate.

After cleaning the slate, Ji Chang built a stove with stones and placed the slate on it.

Then he began to add firewood to the stove.

While burning the fire man, Ji Chang took out two large matsutake mushrooms, washed them and cut them into thin slices.

"It smells great, with a special fragrance."

It was with this smell that Ping An and Qing Hu were able to find them.

Matsutake has high medicinal value. It contains "Matsutake polysaccharide" with anti-tumor activity, which can improve the body's autoimmune ability. It has anti-tumor, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory effects. It is a good food. It is one of the fungi with better anti-cancer effect among both medicinal and medicinal fungi.

Research on matsutake by later generations has shown that matsutake has complex composition and a variety of active ingredients, and can prevent and treat a variety of diseases.

Of course, most people don’t believe it and would not use an edible fungus as medicine.

Ji Chang doesn't care about this. Anyway, it's not easy to export at a high price now. For now, he still needs to satisfy his appetite first.

When the stone slab was heated to a sufficient temperature, Ji Chang poured some oil on it.

After the oil is heated, Ji Chang puts the cut matsutake slices on top and grills them.

There was a sizzling sound, and a fragrant smell also hit my face.

Ji Chang not only grilled matsutake mushrooms, but also cooked a pot of chipmunk and pheasant meat.

After sprinkling some matsutake slices, Ji Chang covered the pot and continued to simmer over high heat.

Ji Chang picked up a slate piece of matsutake and took a bite, then his eyes lit up.

"As expected of matsutake, the taste is truly unmatched by other mushrooms. No wonder they are so expensive."

Ji Chang vaguely remembered that top-quality matsutake weighed thousands or tens of thousands of pounds and was very valuable.

He felt that the quality of the food he was eating was not bad, and selling it for dozens or hundreds of pounds per pound should not be a big problem.

If the news gets out, countless people will probably come looking for Matsutake.

After all, the current price of a few dozen per pound is enough to drive many people crazy.

"It's really delicious, I can't stop eating it." Ji Chang said to himself while eating roasted matsutake mushrooms.

Ji Chang finished the roasted matsutake mushrooms in one go, and he was still a little unfinished.

Fortunately, the braised pork with matsutake mushrooms in the pot was also cooked.

After tasting a piece, Ji Chang couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

"It's not inferior to roasted matsutake mushrooms at all, and the texture is slightly different. It's a completely different kind of deliciousness."

Ji Chang didn't expect that Matsutake would give him such a surprise.

Soon, Ji Chang destroyed the matsutake mushrooms in the pot before starting to eat the meat.

Ji often eats meat, while Ping'an and Qinghu can eat bones.

The cooked bones have more flavor and they also like to eat them very much.

After eating, Ji Chang touched his belly.

It was so delicious that he overate it.

After resting for a while, Ji Chang began to clean up the mess.

After taking care of things, Ji Chang left here.

In the afternoon, prepare to continue looking for matsutake mushrooms.

These matsutake mushrooms are protected by moss and can be stored for many days, so if you encounter larger matsutake mushrooms, you can pick them and take them home.

You can't enjoy such delicious food by yourself. You must take some back for Gu Shuyao to taste.

If the quantity is large, it can also be dried and stored as dried matsutake.

Ji Chang spent the whole afternoon picking matsutake mushrooms and harvested more than two kilograms of matsutake mushrooms.

Obviously, the spot found in the afternoon was ideal.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

Ji Chang had to stop picking matsutake mushrooms and start looking for prey instead.

What he had for dinner was relatively simple, some steamed buns.

These buns held up better and did not become hard.

Ji Chang ate a few to satisfy his stomach, and then began to look for prey.

His purpose today was to hunt. It had been a long time since he had caught any prey.

The last time, I went hunting muntjac with Xu Rui and the others.

However, Ji Chang no longer has any interest in muntjac.

Walking through the forest, following Ping An and Qing Hu.

Now Ping An has grown up a lot and is becoming more and more powerful.

Following it, Ji Chang saw a thirty to forty centimeter blood bar.

Ji Chang took a look and found that it turned out to be a pig badger.

Ji Chang was a little surprised that there was such a thing here.

After hunting for so long, Ji Chang encountered a badger for the first time.

There are many types of badgers, including dog badgers, pig badgers, wolverines, honey badgers, ferret badgers, etc.

Ji Chang only knows honey badger, pig badger, and dog badger.

The difference between a pig badger and a dog badger is that they are similar but slightly different.The badger is like a puppy, while the pig badger is fatter than the badger. It has a sharp beak, short legs, a short tail, long hair, and is brown, like a little fat pig.

Badger oil is a good thing. When badgers are caught in winter, their fat is thickest.After killing, take the subcutaneous fat and intestinal fat, boil it into fat in a pot, and filter out the oil residue.

Badger oil is mainly used to treat deficiency of Qi, uterine prolapse, hemoptysis, hemorrhoids, malnutrition, scabies, alopecia areata, burns, chilblains, etc.

Mr. Huang had told Ji Chang before that if he encountered a badger, he would refine some oil for him.

Now is the chance.

Ji Chang directly raised his gun and aimed at the pig badger. Just when he was about to shoot, Ji Chang found another one breaking into his field of vision.

After a gesture, Ji Chang decisively locked onto one.

Whether he can double kill depends on whether his reaction is fast enough.

"boom!"

As soon as the gunshot rang out, Ji Chang went to pull the bolt.

Perhaps because the distance was too close, the gunfire was very loud.

The pig badger that was not hit was immediately stressed. It was so frightened by the gunshot that it even forgot to run.

How could Ji Chang let go of such an opportunity?
Therefore, he pointed the gun directly at the stressed pig badger and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

After a gunshot, the pig badger jumped.

Unfortunately, it was too late, its body had already been penetrated.

"Set a fire and roast one for a midnight snack, haha!" As he said that, Ji Chang ran over and lifted up the two pig badgers to bleed them.
