Chapter 47: Shanzhen Appears
"Woof!"
Xiong Ba broke the green-headed mushroom off with his dog paws, bit it and handed it to Lin Heng.
The blue-headed mushroom is a type of red mushroom, and its scientific name is the green-changing red mushroom. When it first grows out, its cap is spherical and has a protective color similar to green grass, making it difficult to find.
As it grows, it becomes flat, hemispherical and gradually stretches, often slightly concave in the middle, non-sticky, light green to gray-green, the epidermis is often spotted and cracked, and there are stripes on the edges when old.
"Look again, there must be another one." Lin Heng commanded Xiongba.
The tricholoma is amazing. If you find one, there will definitely be another one within one meter.
Sure enough, another one was soon found under the leaves.
“Woof woof!!”
Xiongba ran to another place and called Lin Heng, sticking out his tongue and shaking his head, seeming to enjoy the feeling of calling Lin Heng.
"You can't finish it all at once, right?" Lin Heng slapped it on the butt.
But he found this place was not bad, with a lot of delicious beef and tricholoma.
The blue-headed mushroom is valuable and tastes very good. It is the most delicious type of red mushroom.
Just in the low bush forest of Hongfeng Mountain, we found a basket of about five or six pounds of delicious porcini and blue-headed mushrooms, as well as a small amount of yellow oyster mushrooms.
"Damn it, it was eaten by rats."
Lin Heng found the bag he lost yesterday, with only some bird feathers left in it.
Cursing Jerry, he turned the bag over and put the mushrooms from the bamboo basket into it.
Then he took the empty basket and led Xiongba into the tall woods to kill badgers.
He thought there must be more mushrooms waiting for him to harvest in the tall forest.
But the reality is often cruel, just like when you are fishing and feel that you will catch a lot of fish, but in the end you come up empty-handed.
There wasn't even a single red mushroom to be seen in the forest, only a few white amanita phalloides, known as the umbrella of death.
"Depend on!"
The huge gap made Lin Heng a little overwhelmed, and he felt that it was somewhat familiar.
However, the refreshing jungle with a slight mist after the rain soon calmed him down: "It doesn't matter if I can't find it. It's nice to take a walk in the forest after the rain."
As soon as the dog Xiongba entered the forest, he ran far away. At this time, his shadow could no longer be seen, and only one or two barking sounds could be heard occasionally.
Tick!
A breeze blew by, and the leaves swayed, and a transparent drop of water fell from them, dripping into the small pool of water.
With a snap, the little water was crushed by Lin Heng who was wearing rain boots. The water droplets splashed out and were forced to drift away.
"Huang Lai Tou, not bad!"
Under an acorn tree, Lin Heng saw two orange-yellow acorns. He patted them, pulled them up by the roots, and a smile appeared on his face.
One of the joys of picking mushrooms is that you never know what kind of mushrooms you will pick up next. It is full of unknowns and surprises.
Although there were few mushrooms in the forest, Lin Heng still had a lot of fun.
After walking around for an unknown distance, Lin Heng saw the figure of the silly dog Xiongba.
"What are you doing? Eating mushrooms carelessly can poison a dog."
Lin Heng looked at it scratching something on the ground and warned it.
“Woof woof!!”
Xiongba raised his head and barked at Lin Heng twice, pointing his claws at the ground.
"Are there any mushrooms?"
Lin Heng came over to check.
"This is!!"
When he saw the things on the ground, Lin Heng's eyes widened involuntarily.
On the ground where Xiongba had peeled off the pine needles, a yellowish-brown mushroom head pushed through the ground and drilled out, with yellowish-brown ciliary scales on it.
Lin Heng could smell the fragrance from half a meter away.
"Good dog, you are really a lucky dog!"
Lin Heng rubbed Xiongba's dog head hard. If it wasn't a little dirty, he would have kissed it twice.
The mushroom on the ground is none other than the legendary wild delicacy Matsutake.
After finding a stick, Lin Heng quickly dug out two ten-centimeter-long matsutake mushrooms. Because they had just grown, they had not yet opened and were in the shape of a stick.
This may be the reason why it is called Matsutake, as it does look very similar to deer antler.
After smelling it, Lin Heng couldn't wait to pull away the leaves and continue digging.
This thing grows in groups. If you find one, there will definitely be a bunch of others around it. The main reason for its rarity is that it has a harsh growing environment.
Another reason is that it is hidden too deep, with half of its body in the soil. It is often covered by leaves and will rot quietly before being discovered.
With an excited heart and trembling hands, Lin Heng dug out 13 matsutake mushrooms in a short while, weighing almost two kilograms.
He roughly pushed aside the basket where the yellow mushrooms that had been carefully stored were placed, leaving most of the space for his matsutake mushrooms, and carefully placed them in.
"No wonder matsutake mushrooms grow here. The two huge pine trees next to it are probably 50 to 60 years old."
Lin Heng looked at the two huge pine trees next to him that were so big that one person couldn't hug them and sighed that only under old pine trees could there be matsutake mushrooms.
The price of dried Matsutake in the market is ten yuan per pound, and the price of wet Matsutake is three yuan. You can see its value. It is really expensive, but also really rare.
"I'm going to eat half of these today!" Lin Heng felt his appetite grow as he looked at the matsutake mushrooms in the basket.
I didn’t get to eat much of this good stuff in my previous life, so I must try it first after my rebirth.
After digging up the matsutake mushrooms, Lin Heng spread the pine needles back and brought some from other places to cover them up. This nest must not be discovered by anyone.
After finishing, Lin Heng rubbed Xiong Ba's head again and said softly, "Uncle Dog, I admit that I spoke a little loudly before. Is there any more around? Are you smelling it?"
Xiongba blinked his eyes, licked his hand, and shook his head: "Woof!"
"No?"
Lin Heng was a little unconvinced, so he looked around, but Xiong Ba didn't move. He just sat there watching his master run around.
"The fact proves that dog noses are really powerful. Let's go home!" Lin Heng shook his head and accepted it. If Xiongba said there was nothing, then there really was nothing.
Lin Heng turned around and picked up the bag of delicious porcini and tricholoma, and went home. His elder brother had probably gone back from collecting grass for the cattle.
It was almost dark when we got home. Xiulan and others had also returned and were talking about their gains.
"Mom, you just picked some red mushrooms and chanterelles?" Sister-in-law Liu Juan looked at Lin's mother's basket and blinked.
"Yeah, not many. There are many people picking mushrooms. These are pretty good."
Mother Lin nodded and asked, "You? Are they all chanterelles?"
"I picked up some good mushrooms, mom. More than a pound of morels." Liu Juan peeled open the chanterelles, revealing a dozen beautiful black-veined morels.
"You're so lucky. You can sell it for a few dollars." Lin's mother praised and turned to look at Xiulan again.
"I picked up mushrooms, a basket full of them, weighing two or three pounds, all growing on a rotten log."
Xiulan smiled and said that wild shiitake mushrooms are considered to be relatively valuable mushrooms, with a similar price to chanterelles.
However, its aroma is comparable to that of morels, and it tastes much better than those cultivated artificially later.
"You guys can't do this, you have to look to me." Lin Heng looked at the three people while holding the bag and the basket.
First of all, he outnumbers them by a huge margin.
