Chapter 27 Wild Mushrooms

The bottom of the creek covered with pebbles is crystal clear, and the fish swimming in the water look leisurely and smooth. The big fish weighing more than [-] catties throw big waves from time to time, and the fish weighing less than [-] catties always swim to the shore of the shallow water area. , the back of the fish was exposed, making Doudou on the bank always rush.The fish was frightened and swam back to the middle of the water, but swam back after a while, and then was swooped by Doudou who was waiting on the bank, swam back again, swam back again, swooped again.The stupid fish who doesn't have a long memory is really played miserably by Doudou.

Yang Jun originally wanted to scold a few words, but remembering that Doudou warned Grizzly today was a meritorious service, so he let it go.Anyway, fish can't die in the water, and most of them are disabled. If you take a step back, you will die from playing. There are many fish in their house, so it's okay to kill one or two.

After the mushrooms were cleaned up, Yang Jun set up a stone oven in the yard.If the open fire is too large, it is best to use charcoal. Spread the mushrooms on a three-layer bamboo frame, and then cover with a layer of animal skin to prevent the heat from escaping. If the charcoal fire is not enough, add a little more.Add charcoal twice and feel that the mushrooms are much weaker, then change to a low heat and bake slowly.Mushrooms are not like shrimp, so Yang Jun pays special attention to the heat. Fortunately, he has a good ability to draw inferences from one instance and did not burn to pieces.

While Yang Jun added charcoal-roasted mushrooms, Adi went out to hunt a rabbit and came back for dinner.Skinned and gutted by the stream, ten hairy crabs were dug out from the fine sand buried in the afternoon and tied up.The crab that I ate at noon was stepped on by the grizzly bear and I didn't eat it, so I ate two more in the evening.

Yang Jun was hesitating between frying bacon and grilling fish. When he saw the fresh rabbit in Adi's hands, he immediately threw away the first two. He didn't eat delicious barbecue at noon, and it was the same at night.Brush the oil and sprinkle the seasonings. When I felt that it was missing, I asked Adi to catch two palm-sized fish by the stream, remove the scales, clean out the internal organs, stuff them with shredded ginger and dried green onions, put a flower knife on them, sprinkle some chili powder on the fire and burn them together. .

Adi washed the jars and steamed the hairy crabs on the kitchen stove.Adding more firewood, he turned around and filled half a bowl of pine nuts in a pottery bowl. Yang Jun wanted to roast rabbits and fish meat, so Adi peeled off all the shells and put them aside for Yang Jun to twist and eat.

Speaking of this winter, Yang Jun's snacks are more abundant than the children of the tribe. There are endless millet, sweet potatoes, some nuts that Adi picked one after another, and now there are pine nuts, which he can eat in different ways every day.In fact, he used to say that he really didn't like snacks.

The grilled fish is cooked, the grilled browned fish skin, the fish meat without any fishy smell, the mouth is full of burnt aroma; not to mention the rabbit meat, the tenderness in the mouth is irresistible.

Two fish and one rabbit, Adi ate half of it, but Yang Jun ate the other half.In the end, Adi brought out ten steamed hairy crabs from the kitchen, and gnawed the ten crabs like eating snacks on the fire.

Doudou was not interested in crabs and was full, so she lay on her front paws and opened her mouth lazily and yawned.

Influenced by Doudou, Yang Jun also yawned lazily.After yawning and being roasted by the fire, Yang Jun immediately felt that his whole body was exhausted, and he just wanted to lie down and sleep with his eyes closed, making him dizzy.

Adi stretched out his arms to hug him and put him on his lap, wrapping his arms around him to give him a safe haven.

Beside a warm fire, with strong arms around his waist and his head resting on his thick chest, the comfortable Yang Jun didn't think about anything, blinked his eyelids half-closed, and fell asleep decisively.The gods who brush their teeth, wash their face, and take a bath are illusory, and they sleep the most.

The fire was almost burnt out. Seeing that Yang Jun didn't want to wake up, Adi carefully carried him back to the house, put him on the bed, and lit a candle.

"...Adi..." Yang Jun woke up without Adi's body temperature, his eyelids half-opened a little annoyed.Annoyed why he put him down, the unheated bed was colder than his arms.

"A Yang, continue to sleep." Bring hot water and use the animal skin to wipe his hands and face, and finally change the clay basin to help him wash his feet, dry them and stuff them back into the animal skin blanket to cover the corners tightly.

Yang Jun's eyelids were fighting up and down, trying to sleep or not. "...Adi..."

Adi touched him, and went to the yard to quickly collect the half-dried mushrooms and put them on the kitchen stove to dry them on a low fire. He brushed his teeth and washed his face. He wanted to take a quick shower with cold water, but he was afraid that he would get cold so he rinsed it with hot water. , Wipe off the water stains and heat up your hands and feet before returning to the house.

Under the candlelight, Yang Jun's eyelids trembled. Adi thought he was about to wake up, but he simply trembled, and he understood the vague muttering in his mouth.

"…mushroom…"

Adi blew out the candles and got into bed. Yang Jun had already warmed the bed of pure animal fur. Even Adi, who has never been too demanding on the environment, felt that the warm animal fur bed was really very comfortable.After pulling him into his arms and hugging him well, Adi whispered in Yang Jun's ear, "Dry mushrooms, put them away."

Yang Jun's eyelids trembled, his head on Adi's arm tilted, and he fell asleep completely.

Adi clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and had a good night's sleep.

The temperature dropped so fast that Yang Jun only felt that it was almost half colder than yesterday when he woke up.Sighing, I crawled out of the warm blanket, put on a thick fur sweater, and wore thick rabbit fur warm shoes. Only then did I feel better.

The thick fur sweater and trousers wrapped Yang Jun more than two times, and there were also thick fur shoes. To be honest, Yang Jun was very fortunate that there were no mirrors in this world, otherwise he would be depressed to death.

I turned around and didn't see Adi, so I guess he was out hunting.After brushing his teeth and washing his face, and having a hot breakfast on the stove, Yang Jun went to the stream to fish for the stone snails he raised to make snails.The water temperature was too cold, so Yang Jun fished out a small half of the bucket with a bamboo fisherman. He originally planned to knock his buttocks by the stream, but it was too cold, so he brought it back to the yard and built a fire before he started knocking.

After knocking a few catties, scrubbing and cleaning, I went back to the kitchen and started frying.At this time, it should not be time to eat, but the snails are difficult to cook, so don't worry about making them too early.Add firewood and water to make the snails suffocate and taste, and the stove on the other side is on fire, grab the rice and corn kernels, peel the raw pine nuts, think about it, peel the millet, remove the skin, and cut it into small pieces Put the pieces together and start cooking porridge.

The snails were cooked, but the porridge was still simmering slowly. Yang Jun greedily filled a small bowl and moved a stool to the side. He took the snails in one hand and ate the porridge with a lot of stuff in the clay pot with the other hand.

When Adi came back, what he saw was Yang Jun's busy hands and he ate a bunch of snail shells, and he was still scooping them up.

Yang Jun saw Adi coming back, his eyes lit up immediately, he picked a screw meat with a wooden stick and put it in Adi's mouth, asking for boast, "Is it more delicious than last time?"

"It's delicious." Adi was very honest. Yang Jun's eyebrows and eyes were curved with a smile, and he continued to run back to make porridge and eat snails with an expression of "I'm really good".It is estimated that the porridge is ready, and the snail will eat half of it for him.

Adi smiled and ignored it, turned around and put away the harvest in the morning, put two live pheasants in the cave to raise together, knocked the dead rabbit to see if Yang Jun wanted to have dinner, originally planned to pick up some wild mushrooms, but ended up It was all frozen overnight, until he was lucky enough to meet a wild deer.In this cold weather, large animals are rarely seen. It is indeed his luck.

Yang Jun smiled more happily seeing such a big adult stag. The temperature has dropped rapidly these days and seeing that there are few prey, they can only use bacon. They don’t want to hunt deer again. These hundreds of catties of fresh meat are enough for them Been eating for a while.

"Is Adi hungry?" Yang Jun looked at the fresh venison, and immediately remembered a way of eating it before. The trouble is that it is a bit troublesome, but it is really delicious.

Eddie shook his head.

Yang Jun laughed so hard that he almost burst out, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the wild deer: "Then I'll cook something delicious for you at noon."

Adi didn't answer, just turned around and took a knife to cut a large piece of meat from the deer's hind leg according to Yang Jun's request, and cut it into thin slices three fingers wide.Adi thought it was the kind of hot venison slices he made before, but Yang Jun took two large Pteris mushrooms from the cave that had not been dried yesterday.It is placed on the ground and preserved intact, so the anchovy mushrooms are relatively fresh.

Wild mushrooms have been tried with pheasants, and they are non-toxic, so Yang Jun can boldly put them into dishes!

Break off the whole anchovy mushroom, wash it and tear it from large pieces to small pieces, add dried shallots and roll it with submerged meat slices, the meat slices will be loose, so use a small bamboo stick to pass through and fix, and then pour the thin oil Hot in the pot.

It is the same as the hot meat slices made before, but the taste is very different.The submerged venison slices are delicious, and when they are dyed with scallions and the excess fat is absorbed by the mushrooms, they are even more tender and delicious; while the anchovy mushrooms that have absorbed the fat and other seasonings are even more tender, smooth and fragrant. I still want to eat after eating.

With long chopsticks, Yang Jun picked half of the mushrooms in Adi's meat roll and ate them.

Adi is not annoyed, let him.Later, he took the initiative to pick out the mushrooms and put them in Yang Jun's bowl. The thick-skinned Yang Jun was too embarrassed to protect the bowl and refused to eat, so Adi gave up.
