It seemed like a mobilization order. A week after the rainy season came, farmers and herdsmen in northwestern Yunnan packed up all kinds of equipment to enter the mountains and started an annual wild fungus feast.

Five years ago, the wild mushrooms all over the mountains were not as valuable as they are now. At that time, farmers and herdsmen at most went to the mountains to collect some wild mushrooms that could be made into dried goods, including boletus, chicken mushrooms, flower mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms.

After all, the transportation in Jinghu area was inconvenient at that time, and fresh wild mushrooms had no good sales, so they could only be wasted in the forest.

However, with the opening of the Jinghu Scenic Area and the full opening of the Yaoyin Expressway, this situation has undergone earth-shaking changes, and wild bacteria have become one of the most important sources of income for mountain villagers in the year.

According to the data over the past two years, basically a strong laborer can earn more than 10,000 yuan through wild bacteria in two months during the rainy season. Some capable and lucky mountain people can even get more.

Therefore, the rainy season every year becomes a season for mountain people to accept gifts from nature!

…………

At eight o'clock in the morning, the light rain first stopped, and the warm sunshine poured down from the clouds, dispelling the cold air in the air and making people feel much more comfortable.

Dukass was fully armed, put on a rain-proof poncho and boots, and held a hiking pole, followed Xiao Feng with a basket on his back, and walked towards the direction of Biluo Snow Mountain.

Ducass was impressed by the first time he saw the tool of backpacking. After all, there was no such magical tool created by mountain farmers in France.

In a sense, the backpack is an amazing creation of farmers in the mountainous areas of southern China, and it has been completely integrated into the lives of the mountain people.

Along the way, there were many tourists dressed similarly to Dukasse. Everyone, led by a tour guide, wandered around the mountains and forests around Ginkgo Village, looking for wild bacteria that grew after the rain.

Over the past period of time, taking tourists into the mountains to pick mushrooms has become a very important tourism project for the "Jinghu Scenic Area", which has attracted many tourists from the city. For urban people who rarely come into contact with mountains and forests, being able to go into the mountains and forests to pick wild mushrooms and return to the village to make soup is a rare experience.

If good luck can meet top wild mushrooms such as Matsutake mushrooms and monkey erectus mushrooms, it is somewhat a show-off to friends, so tourists are happy.

The Biluo Snow Mountain after the rain looked extremely beautiful, with thin mist covering the forest like a layer of gauze, looking full of psychedelic colors.

But only by walking into the mountains and forests can we realize that the so-called beauty is just a fantasy, and the jungle after the rain is an abnormal disaster!

The grass leaves, shrubs and even branches are all raindrops that are retained. Whenever you encounter them, it will be a sudden rainfall, making people feel embarrassed.

Even though he put on waterproof rain boots and rain poncho, Dukasse still felt that the ubiquitous water droplets seemed to be coming in from every corner of his body. The biting cold air gradually made his body feel a little chilled.

Xiao Feng said that the local mountaineer actually got up at three or four in the morning and set off because they had to go deep into the depths of Biluo Snow Mountain to pick the best and most precious wild mushrooms.

Only then can Dukass realize that the top ingredients are hard-won!

Since he started learning cooking, Dukass has become accustomed to using money to buy all kinds of ingredients from the market, and has never had the experience of this now.

Perhaps, after this experience entering the mountain, Dukasse will pay more attention to precious ingredients, which may become a key to further improving his cooking skills.

…………

Of course, as a landlord and Dukasse's cooking apprentice, Xiao Feng naturally considers Dukasse's age and physical condition, and will not bring him into the depths of Biluo Snow Mountain.

He took Dukasse to walk in the forest of Qingling Mountain for a while. He soon arrived at a gentle slope in the shade, which was the best place for wild bacteria to grow.

The pine forest here is not a airtight style. The sparse pine wood is a combination of lawns and bushes. You can see the wild bacteria thriving in it with a little attention.

"Teacher, a large number of wild mushrooms have grown here. From ordinary flower mushrooms to matsutake mushrooms, there are even monkey erectus mushrooms. Let's look for them slowly!" Xiao Feng pointed to this gentle slope and introduced to Dukasse.

Although there was no formal apprenticeship ceremony, Xiao Feng still regarded Dukasse as a "teacher". After all, over the past month, Dukasse's careful teaching has greatly improved his Western cooking skills.

This time Dukasse proposed to go to the forest to dig wild bacteria with his own hands, so Xiao Feng naturally would not refuse, but he racked his brains to find such a good place within the scope of non-'Xiao Family Farm'.

"Well, this place is good!" The old French man showed a childlike smile on his face and nodded and said, "There are also various wild bacteria in the mountains and forests of France, but compared with this place, there is a big difference!"

Although Ducasse is not a botanist, he can also see the huge differences between species in vegetation and northwestern Yunnan. After all, this place is called the "treasure of human natural resources"!

For French people who are naturally active, picking mushrooms at the foot of snow-capped mountains is a very pleasant thing in itself. At this time, all the hardships along the way have disappeared invisibly.

However, at this time Dukasse did not take it all, but patiently followed Xiao Feng's explanation and collected edible wild mushrooms. He did not dare to act rashly towards some unfamiliar or inaccurate mushrooms.

After all, when the mountains and forests in northwestern Yunnan arrive in the rainy season, all kinds of wild bacteria emerge like stars in the sky. Without rich experience, it is really impossible to pick out edible varieties from the hundreds of wild bacteria.

Fortunately, Xiao Feng has lived in Ginkgo Village since he was a child and has rich experience in collecting mushrooms. It is simply a "jungle encyclopedia", which has reduced Dukasse's worries.

In the forest, common fungi such as shiitake mushrooms, flower mushrooms and fungus are the most common. The golden chanterelle fungus on the umbrella surface is also quite attractive. This is a variety that Dukasse has never seen before.

"This is 'chanterelles', and it is named because the umbrella surface has similar colors!" Xiao Feng dug up a bunch of 'chanterelles' with a small spatula and explained to Dukasser: "This kind of mushroom is most suitable for stewing chicken soup, which can form a perfect combination with chicken, and the taste is extremely delicious!"

During this period, while Dukasse was teaching Xiao Feng’s Western-style meal production, the two of them also discussed the differences between Chinese and Western food, and they also burst into a lot of inspiration!

Taking soup as an example, there are huge differences between Chinese and Western foods. Dukass tries to absorb the excellence of Chinese food from it and further improve the recipes of its restaurants.

The soups in Chinese food are profound and profound, and Dukasse has also benefited a lot during the communication with Xiao Feng!

At this time, every time Xiao Feng gets a wild bacteria, he can explain to Dukaser the scope of application of these wild bacteria in Chinese food, his profound knowledge and rich experience, which makes Dukaser look at him with admiration!

In Dukass's view, Xiao Feng is well aware of the various characteristics of the ingredients. Once he has a deeper understanding of Western food, he will soon show his strength in the Western food industry.

While exchanging various views on the ingredients, the two of them worked hard to dig various wild bacteria. Compared to the situation where ordinary mushrooms can be seen with the naked eye, the discovery of Matsutake is very difficult.

Generally speaking, pine mushrooms grow under pine trees, but their growth locations are often covered by thick pine needles, and there is no way to discover without enough experience.

Dukaser looked at the pine needles as if they were the same, but Xiao Feng was able to pull out the pine mushroom from under the usual uncanny layer of pine needles, which made Dukaser stunned.

"These matsutake mushrooms seem to be irregular, but they can still be summarized after they are dug too much!" Xiao Feng said while putting the matsutake mushrooms in the fresh-keeping bag: "Where are places where the matsutake mushrooms grow, there will always be some irregular changes in the pine needle layer. You can find them with careful observation!"

In fact, Xiao Feng said it easily, and it is actually very difficult for ordinary people to discover it by their eyes.

After all, no one has practiced the "Qi Guizhi" like Xiao Feng, and his physical fitness has reached a limit, and his eye acuity is something that ordinary people cannot reach.

While preparing to leave the pine forest, Xiao Feng unexpectedly found the erectus mushroom on a tree, so he would not miss it. Then he found another erectus mushroom on the opposite side.

Although some people have begun to successfully cultivate erectus mushrooms, wild erectus mushrooms have always been hard to come by. Even the old mountain villagers in Ginkgo Village will not necessarily encounter them several times in their lifetime.

Today, Matsutake mushrooms can be roasted charcoal. After the monkey erectus mushrooms are carefully prepared, they will naturally become a delicacy!

After a little rest, Xiao Feng and Dukasse began to return home. With Xiao Feng, the king of the mountains, leading the way, Dukasse's first mushroom picking journey was quite smooth, and he could be said to have returned home with a full load!

On the way back, the old man was more excited than when he came, as if the wind was coming. If Xiao Feng hadn't had good physical strength, he would have been a little bit unable to keep up.

Speaking of which, Dukass is also nearly 60 years old, but his energy and physical strength are still much better than his peers. Perhaps this is the physical fitness formed by the eating habits of beef and mutton in the West for a long time.

In contrast, Chinese people are light and vegetarian eating habits allow Chinese people to slow down their aging while also reducing their explosive power, muscle proportion, etc., which can be said to be gains and losses!

On the way back, Dukasse kept showing off his spoils to the passing villagers and tourists. When everyone gave him a thumbs up, the old man's face was bright.

Even Xiao Feng was affected, and he kept smiling all the way. No wonder the children liked "Glasses Grandpa". After all, such a cheerful and optimistic attitude towards life is always excellent! (To be continued...)r1292
