Chapter 20 Beef Mushroom Rice
If you find one, you will often find a bunch of them. Bai Mengmeng searched carefully and found a lot of mushrooms nearby.
“Just right!”
Bai Mengmeng laughed out loud and quickly picked them up. This many were enough for a meal.
Continuing up the mountain road, she harvested quite a lot and found many mushrooms, most of which were of the genus Bovine Bacillus. However, she was not familiar with most of them, and the locals didn't eat them, so she was too lazy to pick them up.
Occasionally you will find some chanterelles, milk mushrooms and the like. These mushrooms have no taste and can only be regarded as some miscellaneous mushrooms, but they have a unique flavor when fried with meat or added to hot pot.
But that’s not all, as we then discovered a pile of black mushrooms.
[Black Bovine Bacillus: edible, plump, mellow taste, Bovine Bacillus genus]
"There are so many!" Bai Mengmeng smiled from ear to ear and quickly put the mushrooms into the backpack.
This thing is big and round, one is half the size of a palm, and it has a special taste. It is suitable for stir-frying or stewing with rice.
Now the backpack was almost full, and Bai Mengmeng also planned to go down the mountain.
"This is enough to eat."
Although the picking process is enjoyable, looking in the mirror is indeed a waste of time. It has only been a short while and the sun is almost overhead.
On the way down the mountain, Bai Mengmeng actually found another fish that had escaped the net.
"Is this true?!" She was a little bit unbelievable.
[Ganba Mushroom: Edible, crispy and delicious, Lethracensis]
"It's this!" Bai Mengmeng couldn't believe it and quickly covered her mouth.
Although half of the forest is contracted by my grandfather, it is possible that others may sneak in to pick the fruits.
This is a good thing. Although it doesn’t look very good, like tree bark, it tastes very delicious. It is even like dried beef, and even more fragrant.
However, this thing is usually only available in neighboring provinces. I didn’t expect that it would also be found on my mountain.
I carefully took it off and walked around for a long time, but still couldn't find it. I couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Remember this place well, maybe you will gain new insights in a couple of days.
When we returned to the yard, the sun was already high in the sky.
In the farm stay WeChat group, many customers couldn’t wait to ask about today’s menu.
Bai Mengmeng is cleaning mushrooms. In fact, mushrooms cannot be soaked, otherwise it will cause contamination.
So use a small knife to scrape off the dirt at the roots and rub them gently.
I saw the message in the WeChat group and took a photo directly.

[Maruko Aijunjun: Junko! Damn it, I have class today and I can’t go!]
Zhong Ming: This is black bacillus. What are you planning to make with it?
Qi Shao: My mouth is watering! This pork belly is great for stir-frying, grilling, or even making soup!
[Chef Bai from Qiongye Restaurant: Today's menu is porcini mushroom and ham rice.]
Qi Shao: That's perfunctory! Leave one bowl for me!
Bai Mengmeng turned off her phone and started to get ready, because it was almost noon and she had to get ready immediately.
If you want the stewed rice to be fragrant, you have to use an earthen stove, and the pots on the stove are very large, there are two of them, so you can cook two pots directly.
"Uncle Xu, the fire better be stronger."
Bai Mengmeng gave an order and cut the mushrooms into dices. She also left a few and cut them into thick slices. This way, they could be stewed on top of the rice, making it even more delicious.
Because mushrooms absorb oil well, put a lot of oil in the pan and fry the mushrooms until they change color.
Stir-fry ham, carrots and other ingredients with mushroom oil, so that the rice will be particularly fragrant.
"The fire can be made smaller."
Bai Mengmeng didn't wash the pot. She directly poured the machine-washed rice and the fried side dishes into the pot, added water to cover the ingredients, and then simmered it.
White smoke rose, and as time went on, the aroma began to waft.
The ratio of oil and salt must be appropriate, because this will maximize the aroma. Use pointed mushrooms to make the final seasoning, then cover it with mushroom slices, and it's done.
The rice was soaked in oil, its color was crystal clear, and the rich aroma and rice crust made people's appetite very strong. Xu Bo couldn't wait any longer and served himself a big bowl first.
Bai Mengmeng took a photo and sent it to the group.
[Chef Bai from Qiongye Restaurant: The braised rice is ready, eat it as soon as possible.]
…
Phoenix Temple.
Xiao Li looked helpless, being an assistant was not that easy.
His major was hotel management, and after graduation he was supposed to work as a housekeeper's assistant in the Yun family. However, he didn't expect that he would become the young master's personal assistant after only a few days.
The so-called life assistant is no different from an employee, except that there is no indenture in modern society. Considering that the salary is satisfactory, Xiao Li has always worked hard.
However, unexpectedly, after only a few days of working in this job, the young master was unwilling to enjoy the wealth and glory, and instead ran to the temple to live a hard life.
He really couldn't understand what the rich people were thinking, but since he had to take care of his life, he had no choice but to follow them into the temple.
It doesn't matter where you work, the only problem is that you can't eat meat in the temple. Although vegetarian food is also delicious, eating it every day always makes you feel anxious.
Today, the young master was finally in a good mood. He had half a day off, so he planned to find some delicious food nearby to treat himself.
After walking a long way along the road, he finally saw a restaurant that made him feel a little excited.
Because the name of the restaurant is familiar.
"Qiong Ye Restaurant?" Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this restaurant had donated the vegetables before.
Even the vegetables are so delicious that Yun Tingyi, who is very picky about food, is very satisfied. So the dishes made in the store must taste good too.
"Let's go here!" I ran up to the hotel excitedly and saw the flowers surrounding the hotel at a glance. Although they were not decorated much, they were very wild and had a unique artistic conception.
There were several tables of guests sitting in the lobby, and it seemed that business was good. Everyone was holding a big bowl and eating with relish.
There was also a very special fragrance in the air, a bit like meat, but when you smelled it carefully, it didn't seem like meat. Anyway, it made him drool.
After searching for a long time, I found the words written on the blackboard: Black Porcini Mushroom and Ham Rice.
This is the only dish?
"Nothing else?" He was a little unwilling to give up.
Huaguduo was playing a game and nodded when he heard this: "Yes."
An old man nearby heard the conversation and said with a smile: "Little boy, you probably don't come here very often. It's always like this. This braised rice is very delicious. You can try it."
Xiao Li still wanted to eat meat. The braised rice was indeed a little worse, and other people might like the porcini mushrooms, but he and Young Master Yun had eaten several meals together and had tasted more advanced food, so the mushrooms tasted just average.
But since others were eating so deliciously, he decided to give it a try too. If it didn’t taste good, he would order some dishes from the other side.
However, I didn’t expect that the braised rice was so delicious. The rice grains were distinct and the mushrooms were even more fragrant than the meat.
Such a simple thing can be cooked so deliciously, the chef must have great skills.
At least it tastes much better than that truffle bamboo fungus.
After a while, he finished the braised rice, but Xiao Li was still not satisfied: "Beauty, give me another bowl!"
