A group of people were happily picking mushrooms, except for Xiao Mengmeng who was dragging Da Hei around. The little girl could hang a ten-pound soy sauce bottle on her small mouth. The little girl who was standing far away with Da Hei was looking at him with envy.
Baobao and the others kept muttering as they walked, bad uncle, weird squid, and kicked Dahei from time to time. Dahei's eyes were filled with tears, what does this have to do with me, no, his nose twitched, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Ah, Dahei, please slow down. Bad Dahei." Mengmeng saw the pangolin breaking away from her, waved her hand fiercely, ran forward, kicked Dahei, and grabbed the rope. "Ah, uncle, uncle.
, Come on, Dahei has discovered a big ant nest." Mengmeng saw a cluster of brown loose mud in the darkness of a bush. This girl had caught a lot of termites with Li Feng. According to reports,
It is not entirely estimated that millions of termites have died in the hands of the little girl. The soil in this place is moist and has sufficient water, which is very suitable for termites to survive.
Mengmeng excitedly waved her little fists and finally found a fight. She praised Dahei, the pangolin who was in tears. As for Xiaozi, forget it, the little guy can't praise him too much. In fact, Xiaozi's ability is compared to Dahei.
Don't panic and give in. Unfortunately, the little guy is so cute that several children have already taken turns raising him. He has no place to put his abilities to use, poor Xiao Zi.
Li Feng was helping to pick the fungus at this time. The entire trunk of a Paulownia tree here was hollowed out by insects, and most of the trunk was dead and warped. It was suitable for the growth of fungus. Li Feng felt that this tree was interesting when he saw it. Sure enough, the back extended from the root of the tree.
On the top of the tree trunk, there was a row of fungus. A group of people were surprised. Several children squatted down early to pick up the fungus. The adults picked the fungus with their feet. However, it was difficult for Li Feng to reach the height of more than 2.3 meters.
"Maoqiu, little monkey, come here quickly." Li Feng rolled his eyes, smiled happily and waved after the two little guys playing. Maoqiu saw Li Feng pointing at the place, quickly jumped up the tree, and soon he was big.
Pieces of fungus fell from the sky, and babies and bells jumped and clapped their little hands.
"This squirrel is so smart. I have never seen such a smart little thing in my little shop. Hey, the little monkey is also up there." Li Xiaoman looked at the little fur ball with envy. If there is such a cute one in the shop,
Huobao, I don’t know how much business I can attract. But Li Xiaoman knows that Li Feng loves small animals very much. Although he usually lets it go, if someone really asks to buy something, this person will change his face. Li Xiaoman’s face
, Man Ying saw it, but didn't say anything. It was best for Li Feng to say it, but there was no movement from this person.
"Haha, dad, look at the little black ball secretly eating the fungus, haha, isn't it delicious?" The baby jumped and pointed at the little monkey who secretly stuffed the fungus into his mouth, especially when he saw the little thing crying and vomiting on his face.
The way he looked like he was holding a fungus made everyone even more amused. Little Black Ball was Li Feng's usual way of naming him. After calling it a few times, the little black ball gradually accepted it.
After picking the mushrooms, several people were teasing the little guy when a cute shout came. Li Feng was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face, he finally found it.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see something good." Li Feng took the lead and walked quickly towards Mengmeng. The little girl was currently fighting with Dahei. "Dahei, don't move. Uncle is here to see if he is okay."
Hit you." Dahei smelled the smell of termites and was very excited. He kept trying to break away from Mengmeng's control and planned to have a good meal.
Li Feng walked forward quickly and grabbed Dahei. Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief, "Uncle, you are here. Look, Dahei discovered this." There was a small dirt bag in front of him, with loose soil on the side.
There were a few termites flashing around. Li Feng looked around and was slightly disappointed. He couldn't find any around. He didn't know if there were any under this nest.
Li Feng made a rough estimate and found that this termite nest was not small. Li Feng did not organize Dahei, and even put down Xiaozi. He took out a shovel, shoveled off the surrounding branches, vines, and weeds, and cleaned them up.
.As several people came over and saw Li Feng doing this, they were a little confused. What was this man doing? Could he be exercising in his spare time?
"Dad, what is Dahei doing? Look at it." Dahei is working hard to remove the soil from the termite cave and eats some termites from time to time. Don't look at Xiaozi. He has a good appetite. After a while, the ones outside
The termites ate a lot, and the little guy tried to get into the termite nest several times, but Da Hei stopped him.
"Haha, don't worry about it, just stand far away." The steel shovel was waved quickly. This man has good physical strength and is very fast at work. In a short time, the surrounding weeds and shrub branches were completely cleared.
, he dug up a layer of dead grass branches around the little soil bag, and gradually more and more termites came out. Big Black and Little Zi were a little too busy. Little Black Ball chirped when he saw it, and jumped out of the baby's arms.
, pinching the termite and stuffing it into his mouth.
"Ah, Black Ball has eaten a lot of ants." Mengmeng saw that she wanted to step forward, but Xiaoqing grabbed her. It was no joke to be bitten by so many ants.
"Of course, monkeys originally eat ants, and some squirrels also eat ants, but the furball doesn't seem to belong to that species." Lin Yingzi explained softly at the side. Needless to say, this nest is a relatively large termite nest.
, but she couldn't see clearly what Li Feng cared about in the termite nest.
In fact, they don’t know much about the habits of termites. Termites have a unique function, which is to grow fungi. Termites drag leaves into their caves and implant fungal strains, just like people now grow mushrooms in underground caves.
Similarly, fungi will grow in termite burrows for termites to eat.
It was this kind of fungus that Li Feng was looking for this time. Unfortunately, most people saw termite nests on river dams. When people checked the dam body, they found it. It is rare to see fungi in such termite nests, unlike in these mountains and forests.
Fungi are very common in termite nests. Li Feng saw big black, small purple, and monkey Hei Qiu, which were a little overwhelmed. It seemed that the nest was bigger than he expected.
"Mengmeng, use the clips and cans I brought for you quickly. Don't wait idle. Termites are good things." Li Feng said while digging, and several children quickly took out cans and bottles and started filling them with termites.
Several adults heard that termite medicinal wine can lighten the body and strengthen the body, and is helpful for many diseases, so they will not be idle. At this time, Liu Lan didn't care whether it was disgusting or not, and planned to catch more, brew it into wine, and bring it back to her parents.
use.
"It's really good. This nest is not deep." Li Feng dug half a meter deep and saw many fungus beds. The fungus beds are porous blocks made of termite excrement, carefully processed and inoculated to cultivate white cocci.
Food is indispensable for termites to survive. The most important fungus garden is rich in nutrients and is most suitable for the growth of gallinopsis fungus. After a while, Li Feng found the gallinopsis fungus he was looking for. Gallinopsis fungus
The entire growth cycle depends on soil-dwelling termites, and there must be a termite nest structure under the soil where the gallinobacteria grow. Therefore, Li Feng did not destroy the termite nest here too much. This is a mountain forest, not a river dam, and the soil above
It was full of gallinobacteria. Li Feng collected a lot of them and saw that they were almost done.
"Stop catching, let's go. There is a pine forest in front of us. Let's go and take a look." Li Feng was now satisfied and quite proud. He dug a circle here and marked it. He will come back next year. Jicong
Bacteria are different from others. As long as the termite colony below does not move, they can still come and collect them next year.
The most central position of termites is definitely the king and queen. Most of them have one king and one queen. A few are particularly rare with one king and multiple queens, or multiple kings and multiple queens. These are large termite colonies that live in deep mountains and old forests, or for many years.
Dams are easy to see, but are rare in places with many rocks. The main problem is water sources.
Most of Africa abroad is home to large termite colonies, and the soil outside is as high as a two-story building at most. It is nothing compared to the termite hole that Li Feng found, which was only about ten or twenty centimeters tall.
"This is what you are looking for. It doesn't look like much at all." Xiao Qing glanced at the gallbladder fungus that Li Feng threw into the basket. She thought it was nothing. It looked ordinary gray and white, and there was nothing unusual about its shape.
, a cylindrical stick holding a small umbrella head. It doesn’t smell fragrant, so it’s not as good as chanterelles.
"Fructus gallinae is a good thing. When it comes to deliciousness, few fungi can compare with it. In terms of nutrition, it goes without saying. It contains dozens of amino acids that the human body needs. I won’t go into details. Just go back and make it. You can try it.
You'll know just by trying." Li Feng smiled faintly. This heavy rain came very promptly. There may be many good things coming out of the mountain. He didn't want to delay here. The mountain, especially the pine forest, was in the 30-year-old pine forest.
, but there will be a big surprise.
"Really? By the way, aren't we going to dig up this termite nest?" Xiao Qing knows the dangers of termites. He doesn't miss any small termite nests on the hillside in the village. This one is in front of him.
Looking at the large termite nest, the man ignored it.
"It's not a problem since it's far from the village. Besides, these termites are still useful. Next year we can come here again to collect gallinobacteria." Li Feng said and the women accompanying him were stunned, how could these fungi still be here?
Will it grow back? Looking at the severely damaged grass, branches and vines, I can’t believe it.
"Forget it, what the hell, let's go, I haven't picked many yet? I will pick more mushrooms this time, dry them and send them to my mother, so she can see how hard her daughter works." Liu Lan waved her hand.
, not paying attention to these trivial things, and rushing to follow Li Feng and a few children, may let others take the lead.
"Let's go faster. Li Feng said there is a pine forest ahead. I wonder if there are pine mushrooms. They are delicious." Several people were talking about wanting to catch up, but Mengmeng in front of them shouted in surprise, which made them stunned and stopped.
Even faster, and at this moment, Mengmeng looked at the bowling ball filled with dozens of white mushrooms, like chicken drumsticks. Several children looked at Li Feng eagerly. When Li Feng nodded, he was overjoyed and hurriedly squatted down, Mengmeng.
Meng was so happy that she picked the most by herself. She counted eight.
