Today’s Grifola frondosa cannot be sold to the audience in the live broadcast room. If there are too many, they can only be sold to mushroom harvesters in the village or dried at home and kept for your own consumption.
However, the price of wild Maitake flowers is pretty good, with dried ones costing around 150 per pound, and better-quality ones can be sold for more than 200, which is higher than the price of many mushrooms.
The mushrooms were picked, but something troubled Wang Xiaoshan also came.
"We have finished picking the mushrooms, now we start chestnut harvesting. Let me show you the chestnut tree first. The green balls on it are filled with chestnuts."
Wang Xiaoshan found a chestnut shell wrapped in hard thorns nearby and showed it to the audience in front of the camera.
"Those green fur balls on the trees are like this. They have big thorns and are very prickly. The chestnuts are inside the shells. Usually there are more than 2 chestnuts inside."
"Now the chestnuts have begun to mature, and some have fallen to the ground, but most of them need to be beaten from the trees, so you can often hear chestnuts being beaten, not picked."
The reason why Wang Xiaoshan didn't break the chestnuts first was because he was afraid that the chestnuts would fall from the tree and destroy the mushrooms. Besides, he didn't have any tools at the moment, so it would be more difficult to break the chestnuts.
[Wild chestnut trees are so tall, artificially planted ones are not so tall!]
[It’s almost the same as durian. If you want to eat the meat, you have to go through the shell first!]
[Chestnuts are not easy to eat. I actually got a set of armor to prevent them from being eaten!]
There are a lot of foodies in Wang Xiaoshan's live broadcast room. Some people immediately started to sign up the names of dishes, and they also said a lot, this is a professional foodie.
Wild chestnut trees are relatively tall, while artificially planted chestnut trees are much shorter. They are usually grafted chestnut trees, which make the chestnuts better, easier to pick, and larger.
The chestnut tree next to Wang Xiaoshan is about 20 meters high. He must find a way to knock all the chestnuts off the tree.
"The chestnut is a light-loving plant and has strong requirements for sunlight, so generally wild chestnut trees grow relatively tall, and chestnut trees can live for more than a hundred years. It is said that there are even thousand-year-old chestnut trees."
After saying that, Wang Xiaoshan began to prepare tools for chestnut cracking. Now he could only use the existing tools at hand. He first pressed all the extension tubes of the engineer shovel so that the engineer shovel could be 1 meter long.
Then I tied up the two hiking poles and the engineer shovel. The safety rope I bought last time was just used this time. They were all connected together and the length was about 3 meters.
After installing it, Wang Xiaoshan tried it under the tree. The effect was okay, but it felt so soft that he couldn't exert any strength.
Now he could only use these tools. Wang Xiaoshan took the tools and climbed up the tree. The chestnut tree was too easy to climb compared to the pine tree. After he climbed up the tree, he started to use the tools to hit the hair balls on the branches. p>
Wang Xiaoshan hit him several times, but the effect was not very good. The main reason was that he couldn't use his strength and couldn't get down. Then he changed his strategy and whipped it like a whip, which worked well.
You can knock down a lot of fur balls in one go. Once you have the method, Wang Xiaoshan starts to hit the chestnuts crazily on the tree. He changes his posture on the branches and starts to hit the chestnuts. After a while, he knocks down a lot of them.
Wang Xiaoshan did not climb up the place that was too high. The branches of the chestnut tree were not very strong. He was afraid that it would not be able to withstand its weight. If he fell down, he would be pierced by so many hair balls on the ground.
When the beating was almost done, Wang Xiaoshan climbed down from the tree and began to put on gloves and put them into his backpack. The burrs on the chestnut shell were very hard, and he could easily get stuck if he used too much force while wearing the gloves.
He had to pick it up gently and put it into his backpack. He didn't have time to peel it now. It was still very laborious to peel the chestnut out of the fur ball, and it might be easily injured.
After picking up chestnuts under one tree, Wang Xiaoshan went to beat chestnuts on another tree. After beating, he continued to pick up chestnuts. The tools in his hands were not good and he could not hit many chestnuts.
The total amount of chestnuts taken down may add up to 20 kilograms at most. If you have the tools, a larger chestnut tree can knock down dozens of kilograms of chestnuts, provided that you have an extra-long bamboo pole.
Wang Xiaoshan put a fur ball on the ground, stepped on it and rubbed it with his feet to soften the thorns, cut the fur ball open with a knife, and then took out a milky white chestnut from inside.
Wang Xiaoshan showed the audience in the live broadcast room the hair balls he had just picked and peeled a freshly opened chestnut.
"There is a reason why the price of chestnuts is so high. Being pricked by this green fur ball is more painful than being pricked by a durian. Wild chestnuts are easier to peel than artificially grown ones."
After saying this, Wang Xiaoshan peeled off a chestnut shell, then put the peeled raw chestnut into his mouth and ate it.
"This kind of milky white chestnut is best eaten raw. It tastes good, crisp and sweet. If you are not used to it, you can cook it and eat it. It tastes good too."
[Lao Wang really dares to eat anything raw, lying on the couch in the morning and evening!]
[I like to eat tender chestnuts the most. I think the tender ones are more delicious than the fried ones!]
[These fur balls look like little hedgehogs.]
【Everything is tender, not just delicious!】
[Chestnuts are delicious and can fight hunger, but they just won’t be digested if you eat too much!]
"The nutritional value of chestnuts is very high, and the vitamin C content is higher than that of tomatoes, but you can eat up to 10 of them a day. Eating too much is not good for your health."
"Chestnuts also contain a wide range of minerals, including potassium, zinc, iron, etc. The mineral content is much higher than that of ordinary fruits. Chestnuts are also known as the king of dried fruits."
"It can also nourish the stomach and strengthen the spleen, strengthen the kidneys, stop bleeding and reduce swelling. It is often eaten by the elderly. It can also resist aging and prolong life. Eating it in small amounts has many benefits for the body."
[If I follow Lao Wang’s recipe every day, I think I can live to be 99!]
[The mountain products that Lao Wang met are so nutritious, I need whole grains!]
【What can I do to save my big belly!】
[Lao Wang is a mukbang, teaching you how to eat nutritiously and healthily every day, but I want to lose weight.]
"You should eat nutritious food. You can eat a little less at each meal. If you are fat, you can exercise. If you always eat a mediocre meal, it will not be good for your health for a long time."
"Don't imitate mukbang. Eating like mukbang will cause health problems, and people may turn off the live broadcast and crazily lick their throats. Overeating is not a good habit."
"Let's continue to set off to see if we can encounter wild chestnut trees again. The tools are not good for our hands, so we can only rely on quantity!"
It's still early now, and Wang Xiaoshan can still see what wild products are ahead, but he needs to go back early today. It will take a long time to pull out so many chestnuts.
It would be nice to encounter more mushrooms later. Wang Xiaoshan put on his backpack and basket and set off. Before leaving, he also checked whether there were any chestnuts on the ground that had slipped through the net.
Today the treasure spot is really close. I arrived just after walking for a while. When I arrived at the place, Wang Xiaoshan saw that it was not bad. There were big red mushrooms on the ground and green chestnut balls on the trees. The combination of red and green looked like a bullshit. p>
