Chapter 123 Mushroom Sauce
Su Zimu was picking fungus from the tree. Su Zizhong was watching from the side and helping to pick up the basket. Su Ziling went to the side and picked up some chicken fir flowers.
The taste of chicken fir flowers is similar to that of chicken fir flowers, but it is very small and tastes better than chicken fir flowers. It is especially delicious in soup or steamed eggs.
Even though they are relatively small, you have to be very careful when picking them up, otherwise they will break easily. You cannot put them loosely in the basket one by one. They need to be tied up one by one like pea tips and sweet potato tips.
This makes it easier to clean and won't break.
"Sister, you've finished picking, can you leave?" Su Ziling was still picking the chicken fir flowers, while Su Zimu had already finished picking them.
"How many did you pick?" She stood up and took a look.
"It's full." Su Zimu patted the bark on his hand, "Go home, I feel like it's raining."
It started to drizzle again. Su Ziling looked at the remaining piece and said, "I'll pick this up and come here."
After picking up the last handful, she walked over with four handfuls of chicken fir flowers and put them away, "Let's go, it's really raining, and there will probably be more in the next two days."
There were three backpacks, two were full, and one was only half a basket. The three of them picked it up while walking out, and when they got out of the mountain, the basket that was not full was also full.
Su Zimu exclaimed all the way, "It turns out these are all edible. We saw them just now, but we didn't know, so we didn't pick them."
The three of them each carried a basket on their backs and headed home in the rain.
"I asked why people disappeared after eating. It turned out that they ran into the mountains. Are you wet?" Su's mother opened the door and saw the three of them, each carrying a basket of mushrooms.
"My pants are wet, but my clothes are not wet even though I'm wearing a raincoat." Several people placed the fungi near the entrance to the kitchen.
"I feel like I'm going to come here and have some fun. It's such a cold day, why don't I go to the mountains to warm up by the fire at home." Looking at their half-wet pants, Su's mother murmured.
The three of them went back to their room and changed their clothes. When they came to the kitchen, each of them drank a bowl of ginger soup without sugar.
"Hey, you found so many?" Auntie Su looked at the three baskets full of mushrooms and couldn't help but say something.
Su Ziling took out a few dustpans and started to pick up the fungi. She wiped the grass off the caps and pinched off the muddy fungus rods, and then laid them out one by one.
It can be left to dry for two more days.
"Well, once the rain clears and the sun shines, there will probably be more."
"Then you can pick up more, dry it in the sun like in the morning, fry it, sprinkle some salt on it, it will be delicious, crispy and fragrant." I fried a bowl of dried mushrooms in the morning, and the whole family liked it because it was sprinkled with salt. , Sichuan peppercorns and sweet peppers, they taste crispy, spicy, and can also be eaten as a snack.
"Do you like fried mushrooms? Then this trumpet mushroom tastes better when fried. It's much more delicious than Xiangxin."
Su Ziling picked out the miscellaneous bacteria and planned to blanch them in water before drying them. The other ones that were green on her hands had to be dealt with separately.
Trumpet mushrooms, which are fried dried mushrooms, are delicious, but they don’t taste as good when fried. Moreover, they are more difficult to handle. They are famous for their shape like a trumpet. There is sticky stuff on the top, which needs to be scraped clean. The bottom is full of growth. If you lose your teeth, you have to shave them all.
She put the chicken fir flowers separately and planned to use them to make soup later. She added two eggs and sprinkled with a handful of chopped green onions. The taste was so beautiful!
She dried all the mushrooms and went to cook again. It started to rain again, and the cold wind was blowing. She planned to cook corn paste, steamed steamed buns, and added chicken and fir flower soup. The fish was still alive. I took out the river shrimps and fried them first, and then fried a large plate of green peppers. The dried pepper greens have become the family's favorite.
The corn paste is a bit sticky. Spoon a little spicy dried chili pepper into the corn paste and take a bite. The fragrance of the corn, the deliciousness and spicy taste of the corn will directly make your taste buds explode. It’s so delicious that you’ll want to eat it. The tongue swallowed it.
The wowotou is stuffed with see-shouqing, one for two bites, one for each bite, and it tastes delicious.
"This Jianshouqing is really delicious. When the rain clears, I will bring some more and dry them in the sun to eat in the winter." Su's mother was full of praise. At first, she accidentally ate half of Su Ziling's bowl of Jianshouqing, which scared her. Later, when she heard that it could be eaten and that it would be fine if they ate it, she fell in love completely.
"You can also take it back and make it into fungus sauce, or fry it with chili pepper and other seasonings, put it in a jar, seal it with lard and store it, and eat it whenever you want."
"When I get back from selling some rice, I can just take some out when I don't want to cook, and eat lard mixed with green rice, add some soy sauce and sprinkle with chopped green onions, it's fragrant!"
The more Su Ziling talked, the more greedy they became, even though they had just eaten.
"Okay, let's go up the mountain to pick it up when the rain clears tomorrow. Since we can't do business if it rains anyway, why not take this opportunity to pick up more. If possible, we can also make the fungus sauce that Xiao Qing mentioned and sell it. The longer it lasts, the better it will taste!”
Mother Su was a rare smart person. At least Su Ziling didn't think of selling fungus paste. At most, she just wanted to find some non-poisonous gallinopsis fungus, bamboo fungus and the like to sell.
Although the green hands can be eaten, she doesn't dare to sell them.
Even if people dare to buy it, she doesn't dare to sell it. What if they can't hold back and take a bite while making it, or if it's undercooked or not enough garlic or oil is put in it, then she'll lie down after eating it. That's it.
So she kept thinking that she would eat these fungi, such as miscellaneous fungi, gallinobacteria, etc., and then sell them. Now that Su Mu said this, she thought it was feasible!
She would directly make fungus paste and sell it. If the cost was high, she would make smaller jars. I think the caravans and escorts passing by would be happy to buy it.
On the way, they boil water and make soup, and just put a little mushroom paste in it. The oil, salt, and seasonings are all ready. When they buy a jar of mushroom sauce, they are equivalent to buying oil, salt, mushrooms, and seasonings!
What a deal!
"Auntie, you are right. Let's find more and make it into fungus sauce. Add some lard residue or fried dried lean meat in it. It will be absolutely delicious. Then we will order a batch of small jars specifically for the fungus sauce. , I will try it in the mountain col when the weather clears up, it will definitely sell well!"
The more Su Ziling talked, the more excited she got, and she did as she was told. It was not dark yet, so she could fry a bowl of fungus paste and try it out. She happened to have all the oil residue, peanuts, etc. at home.
"Mommy, it's not dark yet, let's try it out first?" Su Ziling looked at her with bright eyes.
Mother Su rolled up her sleeves and said, "Okay, everyone, let's help wash the fungi. You tell us how to do it."
Mother Su and Bai Wei got up and went to get a big basin to wash the fungi, while Su Ziling went to prepare the condiments. They would try it tonight. If possible, the whole family can go find it together tomorrow.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't taste good, you can still eat it dried, dried or fried mushrooms are also good.
