Ning Xiyue poked her head out from the kitchen door and asked in surprise, "Brother, where did you get this fungus? It's so fresh."
"I saw a lot of mushrooms growing on the dead locust tree on my way back home to move some things today. I guess it rained a little last night. They look like wood ear mushrooms to me, and they're fresh and tender, so I picked a big bag of them. I filled a dustpan and put them on the roof to dry. There are still some left. What do you think we should do? Eat them or keep drying them?"
Ning Qingyuan pointed to the dustpan on the roof on the side of the kitchen and said.
"Brother, apart from anything else, I admire your luck. You went back to get something and found a big bag of vegetables. It's amazing. However, we should not eat fresh fungus. It can easily cause poisoning if not handled properly. Let's dry them all."
Ning Xiyue was really surprised. The wood ear mushrooms grew so well. She had to say that her second brother was really lucky.
She really wanted to eat black fungus, but unfortunately, fresh black fungus contains too much photosensitive substance porphyrin, and even blanching it may not be able to completely remove it.
Exposing it to the sun after eating it can easily induce diseases such as dermatitis, and in severe cases it can even cause skin necrosis.
Whether it is fresh or dried, wood ear mushrooms can easily cause poisoning if not handled properly. Fresh wood ear mushrooms cannot be eaten directly, and dried wood ear mushrooms can easily cause bacterial poisoning if soaked for a long time.
Fried meat with black fungus is indeed delicious, but be careful.
Speaking of this, Ning Xiyue casually gave her second brother some common knowledge about wood ear mushrooms.
"Fortunately, sister, you know a lot. I will put them all up to dry after dinner. And keep an eye on the time when soaking them next time. Let's not pick wood ear mushrooms next time." Ning Qingyuan listened and nodded seriously.
"This wood ear mushroom is delicious. Eating wood ear mushroom is good for your health. You can pick it up if you see it in the future. Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Ning Xiyue still likes to eat wood ear mushrooms, and she feels it is a waste if she doesn’t pick them up.
"If you like to eat them, go pick some next time. There are a lot of small wood ears that haven't grown on the locust tree yet. I guess they will grow a lot more after the next rain."
After Ning Qingyuan finished making mud, he washed his hands and took the fence to build a place for the chickens to play.
"Okay, I'll go cook first."
Ning Xiyue agreed immediately. Picking mushrooms was her favorite thing. It was one of the most enjoyable outdoor activities.
In a month or two, all kinds of mushrooms on the mountain should be growing, so she has to pick more. There are not many left from last year.
This mushroom is delicious whether fried or stewed in soup, and it tastes even better when roasted with meat.
Ning Xiyue was really craving for fresh mushrooms.
Ning Xiyue swallowed her saliva, lit the fire, cooked and ate. Eating was the only way to satisfy her craving.
It doesn't take long to stir-fry bacon and sour bamboo shoots. Once the fire is lit, the fat will render oil, and then the ginger, garlic, and chili peppers will be added and ready to serve in a few steps.
When Ning Xiyue put the dishes on the table and walked out, she saw that her second brother had fenced off the area where the chickens could move with a high fence. The three little chickens were already strolling around inside.
It turns out that she still needs a relative by her side. Things can be done properly without her having to do anything.
