Thinking of this, Baiyunxi took out his sickle, cleared away the shrub branches blocking the road, and groped his way over a mountain col to the opposite slope.
Standing on the hillside and looking at the surrounding mountains and forests, the vegetation here is more lush and messy than in the outer mountains.
This is the boundary between the inner and outer mountains. Because of the rumors of ferocious beasts in the mountains, not many people come here on weekdays. Even young men, no one is bold enough to go inside.
Baiyunxi stood on a protruding stone and carefully looked around to see if there was any edible fruit to take back.
As a last resort, Baiyunxi circled around the mountain. Just when she was about to turn around and leave in despair, she found a dead tree covered with fungus in a shady place.
Seeing the plump and tender fungus with white down, Baiyunxi was so happy.
This is a good thing. If you don’t eat it all and dry it, you can store it for a year.
Finally, the trip was not in vain. Baiyunxi put down the basket and started picking. The basket was full after picking the dead tree halfway.
Baiyunxi made a mark next to it and asked his son to come over and pick it together during the lunch break. It would be better if he could carry the whole piece of wood back.
I heard that the dead wood that can produce this fungus will grow again next year as long as you sprinkle water regularly to keep the wood moist.
He pressed the basket again and again until it was full. Baiyunxi picked up the basket and was about to leave when a gust of wind blew and a furry thing fell at his feet with a snap.
As soon as Baiyunxi stepped forward, he stepped on it without paying attention, and it cracked with a click.
Looking at the brown fruit she had just taken out, Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment, looked down, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
This thing should be Maolizi, right?
Bai Yunxi squatted down, carefully picked up the furry shell, and looked at the brown hard cores inside to confirm again, his eyes suddenly sparkled.
Fortunately, she had participated in many outdoor activities in the past and knew the appearance of hairy chestnuts. Otherwise, she would have really missed out on a delicious food.
He searched around his feet, and sure enough, he found a few more prickly fruits. Baiyun Xi was very happy. Sure enough, every time he went into the mountain, he had different harvests.
This kind of delicious food wrapped in spiny balls can be fried, fried, or used as a staple food. It can be crushed into chestnut noodles and eaten with other mixed noodles. It is very hungry.
Baiyun Xi raised his head and looked up in the direction of the wind. Sure enough, he found several chestnut trees. The fluffy thorn balls were hidden among the yellowing leaves. It was really hard to find them.
Baiyunxi was not only surprised, but also a little confused. No one here even knew that this could be eaten?
There is no trace of chestnut in my memory.
After discovering something new, Bai Yuxi walked back with the basket on her back, fearing that she would get lost, so she marked the tree with a sickle.
Following the memory of the east hillside, Mr. Li saw him as soon as he appeared on the hillside.
He quickly came over to take over the building from her, "Mom, why have you been gone for so long?"
Before Bai Yunxi could speak, Mrs. Li found the fungus in her arms and was extremely surprised.
"Mom, why did you pick up so many fungus?"
Baiyun Xi took a breath and walked to a piece of hay grass to sit down and rest.
"I saw that there was nothing on the edge, so I walked a little further in to see if there was anything to eat that I could bring back. Unexpectedly, I came across a dead wood pile with a lot of fungus growing on it."
"We will pick the rest later and go home to dry them so we can keep them for eating."
Li nodded. Fungus is a good thing. When it rains, people in the village will run to the mountains to pick it.
Doctor Yang said that eating fungus is good for your health, and everyone has remembered it.
