Chapter 161 Picking Mushrooms
The livestock in the base, cattle and sheep, need to eat grass.
Some of the hay that had been hoarded before had been eaten, and now it was crying for food.
Pigs are easy to raise and will eat anything, but cattle and sheep are a bit difficult to handle. So in this case, Li Yu took some people to the mountain forest, pulled out some grass and brought it back to the shed.
The heavy rain is too heavy. Once the animals come out and cause trouble, they are likely to run around in the base and cause trouble.
When Li Yu and others arrived in the mountain forest, they found that the pasture was growing very luxuriantly. Not only was it not drowned during the heavy rain, it actually grew extremely luxuriantly.
Little Sloppy also followed behind, cutting some grass together.
In heavy rains, everyone is still accustomed to wearing a raincoat. Although you will get wet in the end, a layer of raincoat can also block some rainwater.
Little Sloppy was wearing a raincoat and holding a sickle in his hand, working hard to cut the grass. She cut for a while and suddenly found a big mushroom under a small tree stump.
This mushroom is big and white. Little Sloppy pulled up the mushroom excitedly and shouted to Li Yu: "Brother Yu, can this big mushroom be eaten?"
Li Yu kept his head down while mowing the grass, and when he heard the sound, he raised his head and saw the tall figure of Xiao Slutty standing in the wind and rain. Her delicate figure was highlighted against the wind and rain. The beautiful lady smiled Qiaoxi, her eyes were full of joy.
"Let me see, you can't eat this mushroom randomly. Where did you find it?" Li Yu said, walking towards Xiao Sloppy at the same time.
Little Sloppy handed the big mushroom in his hand to Li Yu.
While saying: "It's right next to the pine tree, under the grass."
During the contact, Li Yu touched the little sloppy hand, which was wet and white. But there was a red scratch on it due to mowing, probably from a sharp grass tip.
Li Yu glanced at the little dirty hands and said nothing. I started to look at the mushroom in my hand. This mushroom was white, not that bright color.
The surface of the whole mushroom umbrella is clean and smooth.
In addition, the place where I found it was on the grass, so it wasn't a big problem.
Finally, Li Yu gently tore open the stipe and squeezed it, and the secretions inside were clear and entered the water.
"This mushroom is edible. It has been raining for so long now, and the mushrooms must have grown a lot." Li Yu nodded, and said with a look of anticipation on the little sloppy.
The little sloppy waved his hand happily, then rolled his eyes, remembering the action of Li Yu getting the mushroom just now, and said curiously: "Brother Yu, how can you tell if the mushroom is edible?"
Hearing this question, Li Yuan and Xiao Lue, who were mowing the grass with them, also raised their heads. They also want to know.
Seeing that everyone wanted to know more, Li Yu happened to talk to them to avoid picking poisonous mushrooms, so he held the mushroom in his hand and said, "This is an edible mushroom. The most important thing is to see and smell it.
There are several ways to distinguish:
1. Growth area. Edible, non-toxic mushrooms mostly grow in clean grass or on pine and oak trees, while poisonous mushrooms often grow in dark, damp and dirty places.
Like Xiao Lue just now..." Li Yu suddenly paused when he saw Xiao Lue next to him.
Turning his head, he saw the little sloppy looking at him with clear eyes and a look of serious listening. Li Yu suddenly thought that Xiao Sloppy had grown up, and the younger Xiao Lue was still there. It felt a little inappropriate to call him Xiao Sloppy.
Then he said: "Like Yutong, the mushrooms we picked just now were picked from under the grass, and there are also mushrooms like those under pine trees, which are safer."
On the other side, Xiao Xiuxun heard Li Yu call her Yutong, and her face turned red. This was the first time Li Yu called her that.
It was dark, but with the light of the lights and the barrier of the rain, no one noticed that her face turned red for a while.
Li Yu continued, his voice steady and mellow, with a convincing feeling:
" 2. Color. Poisonous mushrooms are brightly colored, including red, green, black, blue and purple. Especially purple mushrooms are often highly poisonous and easy to change color after picking.
3. Shape. The cap of non-toxic mushrooms is relatively flat, the umbrella surface is smooth, there are no wheels on the surface, and the lower part is sterile. Poisonous mushrooms have a raised center that is oddly shaped. The handle is slender or thick, easy to break.
4. Secretions. Tear off the stems of fresh wild mushrooms. The secretions are non-toxic, clear as water (individuals are white), and the surface of the bacteria does not change color after being torn; the toxic secretions are viscous and reddish brown, and are easy to change color in the air after being torn off.
5. Smell. Non-toxic mushrooms have a special aroma, while poisonous mushrooms have peculiar smells, such as spicy, sour, and fishy. "
After speaking in one breath, Li Yu saw that everyone was listening carefully. So he said: "Theory and practice go hand in hand. Let's mow the grass first, and then pick mushrooms together. Then you can show me what you see."
"It's been raining for so long. Let's go back and pick some mushrooms. Let grandma make chicken stewed mushrooms and green pepper fried mushrooms tonight." Li Yu said.
Hearing what Li Yu said, everyone's eyes lit up. Let's get extra food.
So he sped up the mowing action, slid the sickle in his hand, and worked hard to harvest the grass.
Li Yu went straight to his residence. Everyone thought he had something to do and didn't ask any questions.
In less than 5 minutes, Li Yu came back with some gloves in his hands.
He was also negligent in handing them to everyone one by one, because he has rough skin and thick flesh, and he will not cut red marks when mowing grass. But girls do.
Little sloppy put on the gloves Li Yu handed her, feeling a little sweet in her heart.
………
With the efforts of everyone, the four quickly harvested a lot of pasture, piled it up, and tied it with ropes.
Now we start picking mushrooms.
In the rain, everyone was searching for mushrooms under the pine trees and among the weeds.
Picking mushrooms is a very happy thing. Imagine that when you are in the mountains and fields, you are constantly pulling at the grass and turning over branches. Many times there is nothing.
You may need to turn it over a dozen times before you can see that tender, small mushroom that seems to be holding a small umbrella.
While rummaging through the messy trees and grass, I suddenly saw this cute little mushroom that was a little different from the environment. The hard work of finding it suddenly seemed worth it.
In addition to the delicacies of the mountains and seas in people's memory, mushrooms are a particularly delicious delicacy. The delicious taste makes people salivate in the mouth, and the memory is familiar with the beautiful taste.
There are mushrooms after the rain. The heavy rain has been raining for so long, and the mushrooms have grown very luxuriantly.
Everyone had fun looking for mushrooms. If I had known, in normal times, if I were unlucky, I might only get a few mushrooms after a long search.
But today, as everyone gathered around the grass and under the pine trees, the chances of finding mushrooms increased greatly. Mushrooms could be found almost every half a minute. Sometimes, there were several mushrooms in a row.
"Brother! Sister Yutong, come and take a look!!!" Suddenly, Li Yuan, who was looking for mushrooms under a big pine tree, shouted loudly, his voice full of surprise.
