Chapter 21: Treasures and business opportunities in the mountains

The scientific name of jelly fruit is Ficus pumila, which is the fruit of the climbing plant Ficus pumila. It can be used as medicine, but it is actually a very good food.

Yu Qingze looked at a large piece of jelly fruit climbing on the rocks and surrounding small trees, and he was very happy. This is an excellent food for relieving heat and dryness in summer!

He still remembers when he was a child at his grandfather’s house. When it was midsummer, several trees in the village were covered with this jelly fruit. The villagers would pick it and make it into jelly, and add honey or sugar to it, which is refreshing and cool. Like jelly, it's especially delicious.

The production method is also very simple, he still remembers.

After discovering this good thing, Yu Qingze didn't care about the name of washing his lame eyes, and directly picked a large fruit full of jelly fruit.

He injured his left shoulder and couldn’t lift his left arm. He could only pick it with one hand. Fortunately, the trees on the jelly fruit vines were not high, and some of them were on the rocks beside them. They were not high. He was very easy. You can pick it up from the ground.

Not far away, the young Chang Hao, who was also lame, found a fungus again. He was excited to pick it and he wanted to show it off again. Who knew he turned his head, but found that Yu Qingze was not looking for fungus at all, but was picking it. what.

"Brother Yu, what are you doing? I found another fungus, there are two!" If you don't look for it quickly, you won't be able to catch up with me. Chang Hao took the two fungi he found and walked to Yu Qingze, curiously looking at the small pile of fruits on the ground.

"This fruit can't be eaten, so what do you pick it for?"

"You can eat it, make it for you in the afternoon, and I promise you will like it!" Yu Qingze didn't turn his head back, tiptoe to pull the jelly fruit on the top of the head, the color is green and green, full and huge, and there must be a lot of pectin inside. !

"This is edible? Isn't it medicine?" Chang Hao was surprised. He had known this fruit for several years, and he never knew it was still edible, but he had seen Dr. Yu pick it for medicine.

Yu Qingze finally picked the fruit at the top and explained with a smile: "Many medicinal materials are edible by themselves."

"Oh, is it delicious?" Chang Hao is most concerned about this question. "Will there be a smell of medicine?"

Yu Qingze poked his forehead and said with a smile: "Snack goods, if there is a smell of medicine, you don't want to eat it?"

Chang Hao grinned and touched his forehead, and said cheeky: "If it's delicious, a little bit of medicine can still be tolerated!"

Yu Qingze smiled and turned around to continue picking the fruit.

Chang Hao didn't look for the fungus anymore, anyway, he couldn't find it, so I might as well pick this wild fruit.

The two picked a bunch, Yu Qingze looked almost done, and went to find Grandpa Chang and Chang Le together with Chang Hao in their clothes.

Grandpa Chang and Chang Le were surprised at their picking the fruit, but since Yu Qingze said that it was edible, it is probably edible. Anyway, Yu Qingze is now pointing to the grass on the ground and saying that it can be delicious, and they will not Doubt, will eat it with a smile.

Grandpa Chang and Chang Le picked up a lot of fungus, which could weigh three or four catties in total, and poured them into one dung bucket. Yu Qingze and Chang Hao put the picked jelly fruit in another dung bucket.

Several people returned home with a fruitful harvest.

Here, there is no taboo on the Midyear Festival. There is also a custom that ducks must be eaten. The homonym of "pressing" means suppressing ghosts.

Yesterday, Grandpa bought a duck from someone in the same village.

After returning home, it was almost noon, and the family began to cook.

Chang Hao cooks, and Grandpa Chang kills ducks.

Yu Qingze asked Chang Le to chop the chicken and blanch it, then put it in a large casserole with fir tree fungus, add **** and garlic, and put it on a small stove to let Chang Hao simmer. Then Chang Le went to wash the vegetables, and Yu Qingze began plucking duck feathers with Grandpa Chang.

The duck is processed, cut open, save half for the night, and the remaining half, according to Yu Qingze's arrangement, prepare to make the braised duck with ginger.

"Brother Le, do it today." Yu Qingze said.

Chang Le looked at him and waved his hand, saying that he had never made Zijiang Braised Duck, he had never even heard of the name of the dish, and he had never seen Yu Qingze make it once, so he couldn't make it.

Yu Qingze pulled down his wrist and said, "It's okay, I'll teach you, you just do as I said."

Chang Le hesitated.

Yu Qingze pointed to his left hand and said, "I still can't raise my arm."

Chang Le heard it and nodded immediately. It's also my carelessness. Brother Yu is a patient now, so how can he let him cook, his face feels a little sad.

Yu Qingze smiled. In fact, he was fine with his right hand, cooking with one hand was completely fine, but he wanted to watch Chang Le do it once.

Moreover, if you want to have a good cooking skill, you can practice more often. However, with the material conditions of the current world, there is no way to let Chang Le take food to do the exercises by himself. Yu Qingze can only teach him how to do it step by step. Learning is also practicing hands, killing two birds with one stone.

Yu Qingze didn't do anything since the duck meat was cut. He just dictated the command and let Chang Le do it.

Over there, the chicken stewed in front of the stove has begun to smell, gurgling, mixed with the rich aroma of fir tree fungi, and it smells like drooling.

"It's so fragrant!" Chang Hao burned the fire, and while approaching the casserole, he inhaled the scent, which was delicious and sweet.

Chang Le smacked his lips and was hungry.

"Xiaohao, the fire is too big, lower it, otherwise the soup will be dried out in a while." Yu Qingze saw the soup over there lift the lid open, and quickly reminded Chang Hao.

"Oh, good." Chang Hao hurriedly pulled out two firewood. His brother likes to drink soup very much. If there is no soup, he won't have to drink it.

Here, under the guidance of Yu Qingze, Chang Le first chopped the duck meat, sliced ​​ginger and red pepper. Then boil water, blanch the duck pieces, rinse off the blood foam and drain the water. In another oil pan, saute the **** and garlic slices, then pour the duck pieces into the pot and stir-fry until golden, add the **** slices and stir well, then add soy sauce, white vinegar, and wine to stir-fry, and finally put the water over the duck. After boiling, turn to medium-low heat and simmer. Finally, add salt and red pepper flakes when there is a little soup left, stir fry to collect the juice, sprinkle with chopped green onion, and it's ready.

After installing the plate, Chang Le looked at the braised duck with Zijiang in the bowl. The duck meat was golden and oily, and Zijiang was soaked in soup. The bright red chili flakes and green onions enriched the color, and it looked very appetizing.

I did it myself. With a smile on Chang Le's face, he took a pair of chopsticks and handed it to Yu Qingze to let him taste it.

Yu Qingze took the chopsticks, put a small piece of duck meat into his mouth, chewed a few times and swallowed it, then stretched out his thumb, and said, "Well, it tastes good."

In fact, the taste is different compared to what he cooked, but for the first time cooking this dish, it is very good. He is also happy to see Chang Le's happy expression and wants to make him happy.

Hearing this, Chang Le's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth curled up, and contentedly put the bowl of food on the other side of the desk.

Happy to get Master’s approval.

"You eat one piece too." After saying that, Yu Qingze changed his chopsticks, picked up another piece of duck, and handed it to Chang Le's mouth naturally.

Chang Le looked at the chopsticks beside his mouth, and was stunned. Why did Brother Yu feed himself? Some hesitate to eat.

"What's the matter? Eat, you made this yourself. Ah—" Yu Qingze urged, and coaxed.

Chang Le's face became hot, and he didn't think about it anymore, opened his mouth quickly, leaned forward and took the piece of meat away.

"How is it? Does it taste good?" Yu Qingze said with a smile.

Chang Le lowered his head and nodded. The roots of his ears were red. He didn't know what the duck meat in his mouth was like. He only knew that his face was hot, his ears were hot, and he was a little bit ashamed.

Yu Qingze looked at his reaction and smiled.

Chang Hao's young boy lowered his head and secretly covered his mouth and smiled.

When the duck meat was ready, the fir-tree mushroom stewed chicken was almost ready. Yu Qingze added some salt to adjust the flavor, and then let Chang Hao draw out the firewood.

Chang Le fried another vegetable, and lunch is ready.

There are chickens and ducks, Fir-tree mushroom stewed chicken with a light taste and sweet taste, and Zijiang braised duck with heavy meals, plus a plate of green vegetables, which is also a very hearty meal for the farmer.

Everyone drank a small bowl of chicken soup first. This soup perfectly blends the fragrant chicken and the sweetness of fir tree fungus, leaving a few people lingering aftertaste. The pot of chicken hasn't started yet, the hot has already seen the bottom.

Then I ate it.

Chang Le paid special attention to the reaction of his grandfather and younger brother to the duck meat. Seeing that they all said it was delicious, he was happy and very satisfied.

Several people ate very full for a lunch, and their stomachs were round.

But for snacks, he still missed the wild fruits he picked back in the morning. Yu Qingze said that he would eat something delicious for him.

After nap, he went to find Yu Qingze in the kitchen and began to read, "Brother Yu, when shall we make that jelly?"

"Do it now!" Knowing that Chang Hao had been looking forward to it for a long time, Yu Qingze agreed.

He and Chang Le were making cold skins in the kitchen. After seeing the snacks, he washed his hands and started to make them.

Chang Le also paused to watch him make jelly.

First cut the jelly fruit, get the seeds out, put it on a clean cotton towel, and tie the opening. Then immerse the whole end with the fruit seeds in the cold boiled water prepared in advance.

Yu Qingze had a lot of fruit seeds, so he used the tub they used to make cold noodles and filled most of it with water.

After a few minutes, Yu Qingze squeezed the cloth towel firmly and let Chang Le wash his hands and squeeze the pack of fruit seeds vigorously, squeezing out all the milky pectin inside. This whole process is done in water.

After kneading and squeezing until nothing came out, Yu Qingze took out the cloth bag and put it aside, to get out the fruit seeds that accidentally got in the water, and then let the basin of water remain.

Chang Hao watched the whole process without blinking. At this moment, seeing Yu Qingze walk away, he asked, "Brother Yu, are you finished?"

Yu Qingze nodded, "Yes, just leave it alone. You can eat it in two quarters."

Chang Hao pointed to the pot of water, dumbfounded, "Just drink, drink this pot of water?"

Yu Qingze laughed and said: "After a while, it won't be water. Oh, don't move it, let it just leave it like that, and it will surprise you later." Seeing Chang Hao wanted to shake the water, Yu Qingze quickly stopped it. he.

There is no honey at home, but there is a small pot of syrup. He scooped out some and added a little water to melt it, and it was ready for use later.

Chang Le stayed motionless by the basin of water, waiting to see what would surprise him, but after watching it for a while, nothing changed. His legs were numb, and he stood up to help his brother set the fire. Make Liangpi.

It burned for a while, and couldn't help but ran to take a look.

When he ran five or six times, he suddenly discovered that the water seemed to be different.

"Frozen, it's freezing! Brother, come and see it, it's freezing!" Chang Hao was shocked, pointing to the basin and asked his brother to come and see.

Hearing this, Chang Le came over curiously and saw that the water in the basin had disappeared, and the inside had been frozen into a whole piece, and it was still transparent!

Yu Qingze walked over and took a look, and said, "You can eat it!"

He took four small bowls, filled the four bowls with spoons, spoons and spoons, then put the melted sugar water in, handed them to Chang Hao and Chang Le, and said, "Try it."

The two of them took the bowl, and the ‘frozen’ inside was crystal clear, and it looked like a gem, but as soon as the spoon was put on it, it could be cut open and it was very tender.

Chang Hao scooped a piece with a spoon and put it in his mouth. The mouth was cool, and the whole person was shocked. The "Jing Dong" had a sweet taste. He just wanted to chew it, but the "Jing Dong" slipped into his throat. went.

Chang Hao: …oh, don’t chew!

"It's delicious!" Chang Hao immediately took another spoonful of Hululu and ‘drank’ it.

Chang Le took a sip, with a surprised expression on his face. He began to think that jelly was like eating cold noodles and Liangpi. It turned out to be like this, and it should be counted as a dessert.

However, it's so delicious. It's refreshing and cool, smooth and crispy. I was busy making the cold skin and it was hot, but now I feel more relaxed. He hasn't eaten desserts like this yet, "frozen water"?

Seeing their expressions, Yu Qingze smiled with satisfaction, and then brought a bowl of jelly to the hall to give to Grandpa Chang who was repairing the hoe.

Grandpa Chang praised him a lot after he tried it. He didn't repair his **** anymore. It was so hot. First go to the kitchen and eat two bowls of jelly!

"Brother Yu, can we also sell this jelly? There are so many fruits on the mountain, so delicious, and the recipe is simple, don't sell it for nothing, or sell it. Moreover, it must be especially good for sale!" Forget about developing a business. After setting up a stall these days, he will think about whether he can sell or make money when he eats food.

Grandpa Chang and Chang Le also nodded in agreement.

Yu Qingze said: "It can be sold. I also think we will sell it in a few days. This is definitely more popular than mung bean soup, and the method is simple. Just buy some sugar. If you have honey, it tastes better."

After making up their minds, they discussed going to the mountains tomorrow to pick some.

Since picking jelly fruit and fir tree fungus in the mountains, Yu Qingze has become more interested in the mountains. There are so many treasures in the mountains, maybe you can find something good if you go around?

The next day, Yu Qingze followed Chang Le and Chang Hao into the mountains. Grandpa Chang was alone at home. When it was almost noon in the morning, two unexpected guests were welcomed at home.
