Chapter 18 The King of Fungi
On August 27, after a light rain in the morning, the sun was as hot as a tiger in the autumn at noon. Several guests who were eating mung bean powder in Rao Mingyang's shop turned on their fans and blew them.
At this moment, an old lady wearing a straw hat, rustic and mud on her shoes appeared at the door of Rao Mingyang's store.
I saw her holding a bamboo rattan ring in her hand, each ring was wearing five or six gray mushrooms whose heads had not yet spread out.
The old lady held a vine ring and shook it at the door twice, shouting: "Three mushrooms, three mushrooms, three mushrooms, three fresh mushrooms, are there anyone?"
"Three mushrooms?"
When several diners who were eating mung bean powder heard this word, their eyes lit up. They raised their heads and looked carefully at the aunt's hand. It turned out that they were the king of mushrooms - the three mushrooms.
Several people stopped eating mung bean powder, so they immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks, rushed up, and asked about the price.
The scientific name of Sanba Mushroom is Chicken mushroom, and it also has names such as Umbrella mushroom, Sanba Mushroom, Chicken Shredded Meat Mushroom, etc. Rao Mingyang's hometown Meitan is called Sanba Mushroom.
This wild fungus is thick and plump, with fine silky texture, fresh and mellow taste, and contains a variety of amino acids, proteins, vitamins, riboflavinic acid and other substances needed by the human body. It can prevent intestinal cancer, lower blood pressure, enhance appetite, strengthen the spleen and qi, and increase the body's resistance. It is a particularly rare and precious wild edible fungus.
Whether it is fried, fried, fried, stewed, or roasted, the taste of three mushrooms is particularly fresh, crispy, tender and smooth. If used to make three mushroom chicken soup, it is even more fresh and fragrant and refreshing, so it is regarded as a rare treasure in the mountains and wilds and the king of bacteria.
However, the growth environment of the Sand Mushroom is extremely harsh. Currently, only a small number of mountainous areas in southwest and southeast China are produced in July to September each year. Moreover, it must be a place where there are ants nests in cornfields or grasses. Only after the rain and sunny weather can three mushrooms grow.
Moreover, the three mushrooms have been around for a short time.
After the mushroom head rises out of the ground, it will open for a few hours and it will ripen and break down in less than a day. Without great luck, you will not be able to encounter three mushrooms.
Although many people have encountered three mushrooms that have been overly mature and cannot be eaten!
The magical thing about this wild bacteria is that as long as you encounter a cluster, there are usually twenty or thirty flowers. Then, carefully search and you may find two other clusters within a few dozen meters nearby. The total number of three clusters is generally between 50 and 100.
This is also the origin of the name of the Three Mushrooms, which means that as long as this mushroom appears, it basically has three Mushrooms.
The deliciousness and rareness of the three mushrooms is destined to be expensive. The three mushrooms in Mei Tan in the past two years have almost all been at the price of 20 yuan per flower, or 400 yuan per pound.
Farmers working on the mountains in late summer and early autumn are lucky enough to pick up three mushrooms at a time, which will earn hundreds or thousands of yuan, which is no different from picking up money on the ground.
If you are lucky enough to pick up a few more times, and the number is large, it is possible to earn tens of thousands of dollars by picking up three mushrooms in the past two or three months.
However, there are very few people who can pick up three mushrooms. Not to mention picking up three mushrooms in person, most people have never even seen them, and have never bought them.
Scientists naturally would not ignore such delicious and expensive mountain delicacies and tried to cultivate them artificially.
However, the conditions required for the growth of three mushrooms are too harsh. At present, agricultural scientists have not yet developed the technology to artificially cultivate three mushrooms.
Therefore, all three mushrooms appearing on the market are natural wild mushrooms.
The rural aunt at the entrance of Rao Mingyang's shop was working in her own field. Unexpectedly, she picked up three handfuls of mushrooms and quickly put them on the street to sell them. She didn't even have time to change the shoes.
Every time three mushrooms appear, it will attract citizens to watch and buy them.
However, the three mushrooms picked up by this aunt were of great quality. They were the shape of mushrooms that were about to bloom but not opened. These were the best quality and most expensive quality of the three mushrooms.
So, she called out the price very high, 200 yuan per string, only five or six flowers per string, and no bargaining price at all.
As she walked from the countryside to the city, she asked more people and bought fewer people. In more than an hour, she only sold three strings, and ten strings were still not sold.
However, she was not worried that she could not sell it, just walk around more.
When she walked to the door of Rao Mingyang's store, she just paused habitually and asked. She didn't know who was eating mung bean powder in Rao Mingyang's store.
Since these diners can eat mung bean powder that costs 100 yuan per bowl, they are naturally not afraid of three mushrooms that cost a few hundred yuan per pound. As long as the price is not too outrageous, they are not afraid of being expensive.
So, when she heard the name of Sanba Mushroom and saw that she was indeed Sanba Mushroom in her hand, several people rushed up and asked.
When everyone got closer, when they saw the appearance of the three mushrooms in the aunt's hand, everyone was even more envious.
However, when everyone heard the aunt say the price of 200 yuan per string, they were a little hesitant.
On the aunt's vine ring, there were only five or six mushrooms in a string, which cost about 40 yuan each! This price was almost twice as high as the price of three mushrooms they usually heard of, and it was too expensive.
It’s not that I can’t afford it, but that I feel that the price is too bad and I have to cut the price down.
Just as several people were bargaining the aunt and trying to make her less price, they all divided it up for her, and the sound of the system sounded in Rao Mingyang's mind.
"Host, go and buy it! If you use three mushrooms to make soup with Changtinghe Frog and add the essence powder to enhance the flavor, your crispy mung bean powder will taste several times better than it is now. Use this to participate in the selection, and there is absolutely no problem to win the selection of famous snacks, and you may also win the first prize!"
Originally, Rao Mingyang was standing outside watching the fun. When he heard the system say this, he immediately thought: "Damn, there is only one first prize, so you have to buy it!"
Then, Rao Mingyang immediately squeezed into the crowd and said to the aunt who sold three mushrooms: "Auntie, how many strings of three mushrooms do you have? Give me all, I bought them all!"
Rao Mingyang's words immediately attracted the attack of diners: "Hey, Boss Rao, are you not kind enough, right?"
"Rao Mingyang, how can you destroy our station?"
"It's impossible to give it to you all!"
"There is a share for everyone, and each person must share a little!"
The old lady who sold three handfuls of mushrooms was overjoyed and ignored the bargaining diners, but said to Rao Mingyang: "I have 10 strings, and I give me 2,000 yuan, and it's all yours."
"good!"
Rao Mingyang did not hesitate and immediately paid 2,000 yuan to hand it to the aunt, and got 10 strings of three mushrooms.
