Chapter 90 Catching snakes, digging out bird's nests and roasting mushrooms

Jiang Ancheng and Song Xueyao had just entered the mountain, and Chen Yufei and the others had already reached Elephant Slope.

The Elephant Slope is very steep, with dense vegetation and deep solitude. There is only a footpath formed by countless people trampling on it.

Song Lingjun knew that the journey was difficult and the mountain road was steep, but she still didn't expect that she would hold on to the ground and crawl forward bit by bit.

Moreover, after going up the hillside and going downhill again, Song Lingjun's legs were so weak that she could hardly stand.

On the other hand, Chen Yufei feels like he has returned to his own home, entering and exiting a deserted place.

Yi Weimin was also out of breath and suggested to Chen Yufei: "Why don't you take a rest for a while? It's almost noon."

Chen Yufei nodded, "Let's go down to Elephant Slope. It's a little flatter there and there are more snakes here."

When she heard about snakes, Song Lingjun, who was naturally afraid of cold-blooded animals, moved faster.

Half an hour later, they were about to arrive at the resting place Chen Yufei mentioned.

Suddenly, there was a fluttering sound overhead. Everyone looked up and saw that it was a wild pigeon spreading its wings and flying away.

Chen Yufei stopped and said to the big guy: "Don't move, I'll be right back!"

Song Lingjun and Yi Weimin looked puzzled, and Chen Yufei had already walked into the grass.

He walked farther and farther and climbed up the tree with great skill.

A mouse snake with a similar color to the treetops appeared in his sight, opening its big mouth toward him and breathing continuously.

Chen Yufei saw the right moment and clamped down on its head. The rat snake twisted its thick-wristed body around the back of his hand.

Chen Yufei used great force and knocked the rat snake unconscious with two clicks.

After catching the snake, he didn't rush down. He climbed a few meters up the tree and took out four wild pigeon eggs from a bird's nest.

Seeing him coming back with the snake, Song Lingjun covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Is it still alive?"

Something cold and scaly is really scary.

Chen Yufei shook it, then hit it hard on the stone with its tail a few times. The mouse snake's head was flattened, and Chen Yufei smiled and said: "It's dead."

Song Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief and frowned again, "You're not going to eat it if you catch it, right?"

Chen Yufei nodded, "This one weighs seven or eight pounds. It is not poisonous and is very delicious when grilled."

Song Lingjun accepted the incompetence, but Yi Weimin smiled and said: "Well, you can try it!"

He had gone to Guangcheng on the coast before and tasted snake soup there.

Yuncheng eats all kinds of snakes, insects, rats, and ants. When he and his friends were wandering around the market, they also tasted roasted snake meat with cumin.

The taste was almost the same as that of fresh chicken. It was quite delicious and he still remembered it fresh.

Song Lingjun frowned and held back the words she wanted to stop.

Yi Weimin asked again: "Do you want to bake it now?"

Chen Yufei smiled and said: "You can bake it now. I have salt in my basket, but there are no other seasonings. The baked goods may be a bit fishy. Let's wait until evening. There are a lot of seasonings at home, so I can show you my skills."

He and Jiang Ancheng often go to the mountains, and it must be said that they are really good at baking.

Chen Yufei was very confident in his cooking skills, which made Yi Weimin look forward to it even more, "Okay!"

Song Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief as she didn't have to watch the snake being skinned live, and signaled Butler Ye to take out the food and prepare to eat.

Butler Ye acted quickly, spread a blanket on the floor, and took out a hearty lunch box. There was also hot soup and white fungus porridge in the thermos cup.

Chen Yufei lit a fire casually and walked into the surrounding grass.

Yi Weimin felt novel about everything in the mountains, so he followed him and asked, "What is Brother Chen going to do?"

Chen Yufei smiled and said: "Find some fungi."

As soon as he finished speaking, he found a beautiful nest of green-headed fungus under the pine tree.

Green head fungus grows round, green with a little red, and has a very strong natural fragrance. It also has therapeutic effects. It can clear the liver and improve eyesight, regulate depression, inhibit Alzheimer's disease, and is rich in protein.

and carbohydrates.

It is a common and delicious fungus.

Charcoal-grilled green-headed mushrooms are a secret delicacy of the villagers. Pull out the stems of the green-headed mushrooms and place them on the grill with the lids facing up to catch the overflowing juices.

Just sprinkle a little salt on it, and the light smoky flavor and hot taste are particularly great.

If you put some minced meat into the mushrooms, it will be more fragrant and the juice will taste better.

Yi Weimin had seen this kind of fungus, but couldn't name it for a while. Then Song Lingjun came up and said confidently: "Green-headed fungus!"

Chen Yufei straightened up and saw seven or eight mushrooms on his hands. He smiled and said, "Well, it's the green-headed mushroom. It's delicious when grilled."

Song Lingjun waved, and Butler Ye quickly delivered a small basket. She wanted to experience the fun of picking mushrooms by herself.

Just after picking the green-headed fungus, she found another fungus she had never seen before, and asked Chen Yufei: "What kind of fungus is this? Is it poisonous? It is actually dark purple, so beautiful!"

Chen Yufei walked over and took a look, "It's edible. It's lilac, also called purple bar fungus. It's not poisonous."

Lilac is inconspicuous in Yuncheng where there are many fungi, but it is very popular in Europe. It is as famous as truffle porcini and is one of the top ten most popular fungi.

However, the cap of this fungus is easily damaged, and since it can be cultivated artificially, it is basically not exported abroad.

Its taste is a bit pungent, easily reminiscent of Liuliu powder.

It's still delicious when cooked. The common stewed chicken, stir-fried, and deep-fried chicken all taste very good.

When Song Lingjun heard that it was not poisonous, she couldn't wait to squat down, personally selected a few of the most beautiful lilacs and put them into the basket.

Yi Weimin asked with concern: "Aren't there matsutake mushrooms here?"

Chen Yufei shook his head, "The growth environment of matsutake is very harsh. Even here, we only have it in some areas."

Yi Weimin asked again seemingly casually: "Is the output very small?" Last time I saw Jiang Ancheng gain several hundred kilograms, I thought it was a lot.

Chen Yufei smiled and said: "Compared to other fungi, the output is much less, but if you find the right place, it's not too little."

"oh."

Just around here, I picked up baskets of green-headed fungi and lilacs. Song Lingjun smiled and said: "The mountains are really nice, there are so many fungi."

"This isn't a lot of land. If you go deeper, you'll find red, yellow, green, and white, and all kinds of strange-shaped fungi. You'll know it when you get into the mountains completely." Chen Yufei set up the grill.

Say it aside.

Song Lingjun was a little addicted to picking up mushrooms, and said in anticipation: "Then I have to experience it."

After the grill was set up, Chen Yufei picked some mushrooms, wrapped them in leaves, and took them to the edge of the flowing creek to wash them.

He strung the washed mushrooms and put them on the fire rack, which looked very tempting.

Chen Yufei buried the four bird eggs he had just obtained into the fire.

A unique picnic, ignoring the mosquitoes buzzing around them, is still very nice.

Song Lingjun brought insect repellent with her when she came out and sprinkled it over and over again, but it didn't seem to work.

The kind of water mosquitoes that are as big as the palm of your hand always come to your face.

Yi Weimin grabbed the wings of a water mosquito and joked: "Tie a small rope around its head and it can be kept as a pet."

Song Lingjun couldn't help but laugh, "Whoever keeps pets and mosquitoes, you really dare to think about it."

Chen Yufei raised his head and saw a mosquito in his hand and said, "This one doesn't suck blood. It mainly feeds on plant juices."

Such a big mosquito doesn't suck blood, and Song Lingjun's impression of it has improved.

A big brother went to urinate in the forest, and Chen Yufei shouted to him, "Be careful with the nettles, don't touch them!"

The eldest brother waved, "Yeah, I know!"

Yi Weimin asked curiously: "What is nettle?"

Chen Yufei took the eggs out of the fire, stood up, pointed a stick at a patch of nettles behind them and said, "This is it!"

Song Lingjun stood up and took a closer look. This ordinary-looking weed had transparent hairs covering its stems and the backs of its leaves.

Butler Ye was afraid that she would be curious and want to feel it, so he quickly stopped her and said: "This thing is very stinging. It's called biting grass in my hometown. I was stung when I was a child. It was itchy, painful and numb. The pain is heartbreaking. Now,

It’s scary even thinking about it, don’t touch it!”

When he was naughty, his parents would beat him with nettles, which made him scream in pain. For a while, he would get scared when he saw nettles.

Song Lingjun was so frightened that she immediately retracted her hand.

Chen Yufei smiled and said: "All things are interdependent, and there is usually an antidote next to the poison."

He looked around for a few times and found a wormwood plant. He picked two leaves and said, "Use this wormwood leaf to rub some juice into it. Just rub it and it will be fine."

"Stinging nettle is also a kind of wild vegetable. We pick the tender tips and blanch them, and they are very fragrant when used with scrambled eggs for cold dressing. We also use them to rinse when eating from the pot."

Yi Weimin was very surprised. He pointed at the leaf and said, "Isn't it thorny? How come it can still be eaten."
