Hello 1983

According to the dumb grandfather's gestures, he picked up this bear thing in the woods at the beginning of spring this year.

Usually, on their side, the female bears give birth to cubs during hibernation, and when spring comes and the hibernation ends, the cubs can be brought out for a walk.

I don't know what happened to this bear cub, whether it was lost or abandoned by the mother bear. Anyway, when the dumb grandpa picked it up, he was about to starve to death.

The dumb grandpa took it back to the cabin to raise it, and it happened that a bitch gave birth, so he let the bitch suckle it, and finally it came back to life.

And this little guy doesn't go back to live in the woods, he hangs out with the dumb grandpa's big dogs all day long.

"You guys are really a real bear."

Zhang Ganzi was still worried about the big pancake, so he played tricks and tripped Xiong Xiazi with his leg.

As a result, the little bear tripped, but bumped his head on his leg, and Zhang Ganzi also hugged the bear and rolled down the hillside together.

If it weren't for being blocked by a few small trees halfway, maybe it would be a stop when it rolled.

Everyone enjoyed watching, and the boss even started to arrange Zhang Ganzi: "Gaozi, I see that this black and blind man really cares about you, so why don't you just take it home and be your daughter-in-law!"

Zhang Ganzi also fought back angrily: "Boss, this bear is a male. You might as well take it back and become a son-in-law. Anyway, you have many girls in your family."

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the silly Xiong Zai didn't know it, but it had already become a favorite.

Chapter 52 Stinky Mushrooms?Matsutake?

Amidst such laughter and laughter, the dumb grandpa led the group to a miscellaneous forest, and made a few gestures with his hands, which meant: there are the most mountain products here.

In fact, it doesn't need to be said by him, everyone has also found slices of mushrooms, that guy, as if someone planted them on purpose.

So they all put down their big baskets one after another, carried their dirt baskets, and started picking mushrooms.

That's right, pick it up.

Mushrooms are everywhere, so it’s just picking them up. You have to choose good varieties and good quality. Those that just popped up, or those that have already grown maggots, don’t bother to do it.

Although it has been raining intermittently these days, there is a thick layer of humus in the forest, which is composed of litter and leaves year after year, and is extremely permeable.

When you step on it, it is not slippery at all, but it feels soft, like stepping on a sponge.

This forest is a natural miscellaneous forest with a wide variety of trees, including larch, sylvestris pine, and big red pine among the pine trees.

There are other deciduous trees, such as oak tree, ash, yellow glass tree, birch black birch, elm poplar, etc., dozens of varieties.

Because of this, the types of mushrooms are also very rich, because many fungi grow in different environments and have a lot to do with tree species.

For example, the red pine umbrellas that everyone collects now only grow in sylvestris pine forests, and there will be no such things in larch.

This kind of red pine umbrella is a precious natural pine tree mushroom with high nutritional value. Until later, it still could not be cultivated artificially, so it is 100% pure natural.

Liu Qingshan only learned about it later, because this mushroom is shaped like a rivet, and after being boiled in water, it turns purple-red, so it has a domineering scientific name called "blood-red rivet mushroom".

It tastes meaty and has a strong aroma, so don't be intimidated by the name.

Liu Qingshan squatted on the ground, turned around slowly, picked up those strong red pine umbrellas, picked them up in the basket, and turned around, basically he could pick a dozen or even twenty.

Then he moved a few more steps and continued to squat and circle around to collect. Not far away, there was the sound of everyone chatting.

Listening to the sound, it seems to be Zhang pole.

There was a burst of hey laughter all around, all of them were men, of course they understood.

Then, the uncle's voice sounded.

Liu Qingshan looked up, and saw that the boss uncle was holding a small red pine umbrella in his hand, which was about the size of a freshly knotted cucumber.

This kind of adult topic, he is one and a half years old, so of course it is not easy to get mixed up, so let's listen to those old drivers driving obediently.

Sure enough, Zhang Ganzi was not easy to provoke: "Oh, boss, you don't think it's embarrassing!"

Amidst the laughter of the people, Zhang Ganzi became even more enthusiastic: "No wonder your family is a litter of girls, I just found out today."

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but think about it. If it is a fungus like a mushroom, its appearance is really enough to make people imagine.

I don't know, can Mr. Yang help to get in touch there?

Just as he was thinking about it, his fingers suddenly touched a thick mushroom head, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously exclaimed:

"Matsutake!"

In front of me is a reddish-brown mushroom head. The umbrella has not been opened yet, and a thick umbrella handle is exposed underneath, showing a milky white color. The surface of the umbrella handle is also covered with scales.

This scale is also the main feature of matsutake, so the locals call matsutake a "peeling fungus".

His yelling also attracted several people nearby, even the dumb grandpa.

Seeing Liu Qingshan carefully picking up the dead branches and leaves around the matsutake, the exposed handle of the umbrella became longer and longer, and it was nearly a bundle long.

A bundle for an adult is about [-] centimeters. The matsutake in this forest is absolutely top-notch.

"Damn it, there are still wild ones here. If the old women go to the mountains to pick mushrooms, they can't help but want to go to the toilet and squat here..."

Zhang Ganzi's strange cry came from behind, which was obviously not a good word.

"Fuck off, you kid has been thinking about that all day long!"

The boss uncle yelled and cursed, then leaned over and took a look: "Qingshan, this is a stinky mushroom, it doesn't taste good at all despite its size."

You said matsutake is a stink mushroom?

Liu Qingshan blinked, and then remembered that in the forest, there is indeed a fungus very similar to matsutake, called matsutake, which has a strange smell, no matter in terms of taste or taste, it is incomparable with matsutake.

It is estimated that everyone has tasted matsutake and thought it tasted bad, so no one cares about the real matsutake.

Later, some careless herdsmen used matsutake as matsutake to deceive laymen.

"Uncle Boss, this is not a stinky mushroom. The mushroom head is about the same color as the skin of the pine nut."

After thinking for a while, he added: "The stink mushroom you mentioned has a darker head and messy texture, so this one is called matsutake, and the other is called flower matsutake, and the taste is different, don't you believe me?"

He has already peeled away all the dry pine needles around the matsutake, and carefully stretched his hand up to remove the matsutake.

It is best not to touch the parasitic roots under the matsutake. After harvesting, bury all the pine needles back. Remember the location next time, and you can continue to find matsutake here.

But someone is faster than his hands, I saw a black slap, slapped on it fiercely, a good big matsutake was directly slapped to pieces.

Looking at this bear with its mouth wide open and its head shaking, Liu Qingshan was also speechless, and could only reach out to pat its head.

"You, you, you slapped dozens of pieces of candy away with one slap."

The boss uncle next to him heard the implication: "Qingshan, is this thing so valuable?"

Liu Qingshan nodded: "Of course, you have to meet a suitable buyer."

Just like the mountain goods I brought to the county last time, if they were placed on the counters on Hong Kong Island or the island country, they would be worth a hundred times in no time.

But in the purchasing station in the small county town, it was the price of cabbage, and in the end Liu Qingshan gave it to Principal Xu.

For mushrooms such as matsutake, of course fresh products are the best, and the value is also the highest.

However, given Liu Qingshan's existing conditions in Jiapigou, they had no choice but to pickle it with salt. In this case, the price would directly drop by more than half.

There is no way, the current conditions are still too backward.

After Liu Qingshan explained the difference between matsutake and matsutake, people spread out again, fanning forward slowly.

When encountering matsutake again, everyone will follow the method described by Liu Qingshan and pick them carefully, trying not to damage their living environment.

In addition to mushrooms, when encountering rotten wood, everyone will carefully pick the black fungus on it.

The sky is cloudy and the sun can't be sunned. When the time comes, put a bed on the top of the kang at home, and it will still be able to dry on the kang.

"Wow, what a big tree chicken!"

I don't know who yelled, it happened to be not far from Liu Qingshan, so he also leaned over to have a look.

On the side of an oak tree, there is a cluster of brightly colored fungi, the color is very eye-catching, the front is orange, the back is milky white, layered on top of each other, the size of a washbasin.

The scientific name of this thing is sulfur fungus, and the common people call it tree chicken mushroom or tree chicken.

One is because the fungus is stacked in layers, like a cockscomb; the other is because it tastes delicious like chicken, and it is a famous meat in Surrey, hence the name.

A cluster of tree chickens filled almost a basket, and everyone became more excited.

There is only a pole, which is a typical work without any effort. After picking two mushrooms, I just look up at the sky and rest for a while.

Not only is his backpack the smallest, but it also has the least amount of fungus in it.

"Gaozi, don't always look up at the sky, work hard!"

Captain Zhang couldn't look down on him either, and yelled.

Zhang Ganzi can really deal with it: "Who is looking at the sky, I am looking for a monkey head, hehe, look, there is a big monkey head on that branch!"

The people nearby followed his fingers and looked over, and sure enough, on an oak tree, there was a mass of milky white, fluffy things, like a white ape poking its head out there.

This is the wild Hericium erinaceus, which is as famous as shark's fin. There has always been a saying "Shark's fin in the sea, Hericium in the mountains".

Zhang Ganzi, who hit by mistake, rushed over excitedly first, and climbed up with the big oak tree in his arms, but he slipped down before reaching a height of one meter.

"Go aside, don't get in the way."

Zhang Dashuai took out a pair of foot ties from the basket and tied them to the shoes.

This thing is a special tool for climbing trees, not to mention climbing a small oak tree, even a big red pine with a height of tens of meters, you can still climb up and hit the pine cone with your feet.

The most dangerous thing in mining mountains in the forest is to dig pine cones.

The structure of the foot tie is also quite simple, it is an iron frame, one side is put into the shoe, but on the inside, there is a sharp steel thorn on each side.

When climbing a tree, the two feet take turns upwards, and the steel thorns are inserted along the bark, which plays a very good role in fixing.

I saw Zhang Dashuai tied up his feet, jumped up the tree with his short body, surpassed the monkey in agility, and climbed to the branch of the tree where the monkey head grew, took out the knife tied to his leg, and carefully Cut off the monkey head.

Liu Qingshan also leaned over to take a closer look, this Hericium was neither old nor tender, it was just right, about the size of a sea bowl, and the downy hair was fair in color, it didn't turn yellow at all.

Putting it under the nose, you can smell a delicious fragrance, even Liu Qingshan can't help but feel refreshed.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but praise in his heart: This forest is really a great treasure!

Dashuai Zhang was not in a hurry to untie his feet, but excitedly yelled: "Damn it, there are a pair of monkey heads as long as they grow. Everyone is groping in front of them. There must be more!"

Everyone was about to spread out to search, but they were stopped by the dumb grandpa, who made gestures in his hand and told everyone not to pick any more.

Zhang Ganzi still remembered the grievances of being black and blind, so he made up in his mouth: "Dumb, you are waiting for us all to go back, so you can pick it yourself and sell it for money, no wonder you have saved so much money!"

The dumb grandpa was not annoyed either, he still had a smile on his silly face, he shook his hand, and continued to make gestures: It turned out that he meant to let the remaining monkey heads continue to grow, and then reproduce naturally, so that the hericium in the forest will grow in the future. , the species will not become extinct.

The old herdsmen never exterminated all the wild animals. It was their rule not to kill the mother animals or harm the cubs.

Even when dealing with these mountain treasures, one is picked and the other is released, in line with the ancestral precept of sustainable use.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help giving the dumb grandfather a thumbs up to express his inner admiration, because just now, he was also anxious to pick another monkey head, and he didn't have the feeling of dumb grandfather at all.

He felt that people like the dumb grandpa were the real guardians of the mountains and forests!

Chapter 53 Delicious out of the mountains

In the silent forest, the people picking mountain goods are still busy.

Of course, there are more and more harvests: fungus, various mushrooms, and even a red sesame the size of a washbasin.

Everyone's back baskets gradually became fuller, and they became heavier and heavier on their backs.

A lazy man like Zhang Ganzi was the first one who couldn't stand it. Although he had the smallest back basket and the least amount of mountain goods in it, the lazy bones he had developed over the years made him feel uncomfortable all over.

He was tired of doing it. He squatted next to a fallen birch tree. After picking some fungus, he kicked hard on the rotten wood a few times, breaking it into pieces. .

With a slap, his shoulder was patted again, causing Zhang Zhuo to stagger.

He was about to scold his mother, but when he turned around and saw it was the dumb grandpa, he didn't dare to say anything, he could only complain: "Mute, why are you patting me?"

The dumb grandpa gestured with his hand for a while, and it turned out that he was complaining that the Zhang pole should not be damaged. This kind of rotten wood with long fungus can be harvested several stubbles a year from spring to autumn.

Zhang Ganzi could only grunt and agree, as if he had no bones, he sat down on a tree stump beside him: "I'm exhausted, rest your legs."

Ahhh, the dumb grandpa yelled and gestured with his hands, to the effect that: the tree stumps in this forest are all the chairs of the old mountain gods, and they are his exclusive seats.

Those who enter the mountain must not sit down. If you anger the old man and tell you to get lost in the mountain, you will never want to go out for the rest of your life.

"I don't care how much you have, I just enjoy the treatment of the mountain god once today."

Zhang Ganzi, a tamping product that doesn't eat oil and salt, sits on a tree stump with his legs crossed, trembling with all his might.

Liu Qingshan also looked down on him: "Uncle Ganzi, you'd better get up, the top of this tree stump is wet, it is easy to get sick if you sit on it; and there may be poisonous insects hidden in it, if you bite, it will be troublesome!"
