Returning to 83 Mountain Hunting

Chapter 59: The Precious Gallium Fungus and Chipmunk

"Callium firsum, a good thing!"

Ji Chang came to some fungi and showed a happy smile.

Called the crown of fungi, Gallus pilosula is thick and plump, with white filaments and fresh, sweet and crispy taste.

Contains essential amino acids, proteins, fats, various vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, nuclear retinoic acid and other substances.

Gallium fir is not only delicious, but also a famous medicinal fungus. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is recorded that chicken fir is good for the stomach, clears the mind, and cures hemorrhoids.

The unopened mushrooms are the most delicious and valuable.

Two-thirds of the large piece of chicken firs in front of Ji Chang belonged to the unopened umbrellas, and they were all very big.

Obviously, the environment here is very suitable for gallinopsis.

Chicken fir is a symbiotic fungus with termites. As long as the termites are not disturbed and let them move their nests, they will grow every year.

Moreover, the growth time of chicken fir is also relatively long, and the growth period of chicken fir is from late May to early October every year.

Although it is still the beginning of May, the chicken fir here has already begun to grow.

No matter how big or small, Ji Chang pulled them out of the soil, focusing on killing them one by one.

"The ones without umbrellas weighed more than two catties, which is really good, and this is a good harvest!" Ji Chang was very happy looking at the chicken fir fungus in the basket.

Marked the nearby trees so that we can continue to come here to pick these delicious chicken fir mushrooms in a few days.

Ji Chang continued to explore, not only paying attention to various blood bars, but also began to pay attention to various plants.

The fun of driving mountains is similar to that of fishing, which lies in surprises and harvests.

The feeling of being in the fish is similar to that of discovering mountain goods, and it will make people feel happy.

In the woods, Ji Chang opened the slingshot.

"Snapped!"

With a loud noise, a chipmunk fell from the tree.

This thing is extremely flexible, jumping up and down the tree, it is not easy to hit it.

Ji Chang shot it three times before he shot it down.

There are many varieties of squirrels, and the Northeast is mainly dominated by devil squirrels, which belong to Eurasian red squirrels, and are also known as greyhounds among the people.

There are no greyhounds in Ji Chang's hometown, but there are chipmunks, which are also in the squirrel family, and are slightly smaller than greyhounds.

Adult chipmunks are about 15 cm long and weigh more than 100 grams.

Squirrel has medicinal value. It tastes sweet, salty, and flat in nature. It has the effects of regulating qi, regulating menstruation, eliminating stagnation, and relieving pain.

Squirrel meat is edible and has the fragrance of pine nuts.

Squirrels are valued for their fur, which is an important resource animal in the hunting industry. The light fur made from its fur is highly valuable in the market.

In addition to chipmunks, there are also some red-bellied squirrels here. They will chew the bark of cryptomeria, ginkgo, masson pine, chestnut, arborvitae and other trees, seriously affecting their growth. Serious chewing will cause damage to the trees. die.

However, red-bellied squirrels are relatively large, with adults measuring more than 20 centimeters and weighing between 350-450 grams.

Ji Chang heard that there is also a kind of giant squirrel in this world. They are thin and long, with an adult body length of 35-40 cm, a tail length of 50-60 cm, and a weight of 1000-3000 grams.

Of course, there are no such giant squirrels here.

Ji Chang did not pick up the chipmunk immediately, but continued to shoot.

There were more than a dozen of these chipmunks, jumping around in the forest, so Ji Chang took action.

With continuous shooting, Ji Chang shot another one.

The other chipmunks had disappeared, so Ji Chang had no choice but to give up.

Ji Chang directly picked up the two chipmunks, then cut their necks open with a knife to drain their blood.

If the blood is not bled, it will seep into the meat, which will make the taste bad. All animals need to be bled.

After bleeding, Ji Chang put the chipmunk back into his basket.

Don't worry about skinning, you can deal with it after you go back.The fur of the prey killed with a slingshot is all intact and can be sold for a good price.

The two chipmunks did not satisfy Ji Chang, he continued to search for them.

This pine forest is not small, so there are many chipmunks.

After a while, Ji Chang found a few more.

Ji Chang's extraordinary shooting skills combined with his health bar plug-in allowed him to hit three more chipmunks.

I checked the time, it was past eleven o'clock.

Ji Chang decided to go down the mountain first. He probably wouldn't encounter any other big prey today.

He rode Muyun down the mountain, and after leaving the primeval forest, he took the mountain deer out of the hunting space, tied it to the horse's back, and went all the way down the mountain.

On the road, I met many village women who came to chop firewood and pick fungi, which made them envious again.

Many of them didn't know the mountain deer, they just thought it was a muntjac.

Even the muntjac is worth a lot of money, why not envy it?

They are busy all year long, so they can only eat some sweet potato rice mixed with white rice, and they don't see meat a few times a year.Not to mention that there are any surplus agricultural products to sell for money, there is none at all.

It is not easy to support a family, because they have a lot of people in their families and have many children.

In case of natural disasters, people may starve to death.

Because the fields have just been distributed to each household, we don’t have any stock yet.

In Ji Chang's impression, the life of the villagers has improved slightly since this year. After a few years, everyone will be able to eat white rice every meal, and sweet potato rice will gradually withdraw from the dining table.

Riding Muyun all the way back home, Ji Chang heard laughter coming from the yard.

After riding a horse through the door, Ji Chang knew that Liu Xue was here.

"Look, isn't your man back? What are you thinking?" Liu Xue scratched Gu Shuyao's waist after seeing Ji Chang.

"Hungry, come and eat quickly, I heated up the food in the pot." Gu Shuyao got up quickly, with worries written in her eyes, and walked directly towards Ji Chang.

Ji Chang got off his horse and took the deer off the horse.

"Don't worry, I'll tie the horse and feed it some food." Ji Chang led Muyun to a corner of the yard so that it wouldn't hurt anyone.

"Yeah, it's still alive?" Liu Xue squatted beside the deer, and when she found that the deer was alive, she couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it's a live mountain deer, and it's pregnant. I want to keep it." As he said that, Ji Chang, who had tied up Muyun, came over, ready to untie the rope from the mountain deer.

The mountain deer has been tamed by the hunting space, and it does not resist Ji Chang.

After Ji Chang untied its rope, he hugged it and put it in the sheepfold.

There are more and more animals in the house, and the small pigsty can no longer accommodate so many animals.

"Ji Chang, there are more and more animals in your house. But, aren't you going to the county seat soon? What will you do then?" Liu Xue asked curiously as she stood by the sheepfold.

However, she is more curious about when Ji Chang will take her to make money.

These days, she had a conflict with a patient, and she no longer wanted to stay in the hospital.

So, I just wanted to come and see Gu Shuyao and Ji Chang.

Show your face and remind Ji Chang.

"I will come back often, and I will also pay people to take care of these animals." Ji Chang explained.

In fact, he had a bigger plan.

It's just that if you say it now, others will definitely think that he is whimsical.
