Chapter 147

"It's a pity." Seeing the morel in her hand, Sasha said with some regret.

"What's wrong?" Liu Heming asked curiously.

"The living environment of morels is also a bit special. Although it is not as harsh as truffles, there are many restrictions." Sasha said with a smile after pulling the ends of her hair.

"Often after the wildfire, these morels will grow in large quantities, and they will decrease year by year in the following years. Now the wildfire here has been burning for many years, otherwise you can make some money. "

"This is also very expensive here in the United States? I thought you didn't like to eat such mushrooms very much." Liu Heming said with a smile.

"It's not bad. The purchase price of fresh morels is about 16 US dollars per pound, and the price of dried morels will be even better. It can be sold for almost 200 US dollars per pound, but it also depends on the size of a single morel." Sasha points nodded.

"Just like this one just now, it is very big, so it should be able to sell for a good price. If you are interested, you can come here to pick it earlier next year. Most of them have a higher output in May and June, and now there are some late."

"In fact, the price used to be higher, but now some companies are artificially cultivating a large number of them, so the price has dropped a bit, but the price of wild morels is still acceptable."

Liu Heming frowned, and was also somewhat shocked by the price of morels here.What Sasha said just now was the purchase price, and the profit margin here should really be not small.

Moreover, I grew this thing myself, and the forest on my side is not small. If I look for it carefully, I guess it will not be a problem to find a two to three thousand catties next year. This is also a profit of over ten thousand dollars.

He also felt that he was a bit outdated, and he didn't even know that this morel could be cultivated artificially.Then the question arises, if other people can plant it, can they grow it themselves?Maybe I don't have their complete set of technology, but I have a small lake.Thinking of this, his mind became more active.

Then, the gang of them, including people and bears, had a new task, picking morels.

Hearing this order, it was Alex who was the happiest. The little guy was full of energy, and he searched for it in the woods with his big eyes focused.

Not to mention, the woods here may be because no one has been here, so even though the most vigorous picking season has passed, there are quite a lot of morels in it, and they are not small, and some are bigger than Ellie. Max's little hand is still big.

Liu Heming kept an eye on it, when he picked it, he dug it out directly with the soil.He wanted to see if he could successfully cultivate it. Anyway, there is a greenhouse now, and he is idle, so let’s try.

Sasha noticed his behavior, and knew that this man had changed his mind again.But she didn't say anything, Liu Heming had refreshed her knowledge many times, maybe this person could really be cultivated.

Originally, I came to play in the woods, but accidentally found morel mushrooms.The pockets were all emptied, and the food inside made the brats very happy, as it all went into their bellies.

However, the volume of the bag is still limited, and there are a little more morels, so Liu Heming simply took off his coat and used it as a package.

In one morning, Liu Heming and the others picked seven or eight catties.There are big and small ones, the biggest one, Liu Heming reckons it must weigh about half a catty, he has never seen such a big one before.

Picking mushrooms is a lot of fun, but the adults have nothing to do with it, but the little guy Alex is so tired that when he comes back, he is always humped by Xiong Da.Although the current Xiong Da has not really grown into a big bear, but his strength is not small.

Liu Heming picked some morels that were damaged during picking, and cleaned them carefully.

There are honeycomb folds on the morels, so you have to be more careful when cleaning them, not like tomatoes and cucumbers.Liu Heming washed it four times in a row before cleaning the dirt off the morels.

He hadn't eaten morels before and didn't know how to make them.However, he thinks morels are also a kind of mushrooms, and the best way to eat them should be stewed soup and fried slices.

For him now, these are not difficult.The big pot outside had boiled bones, but there were only two of them. Meat was secondary, what was needed was big bone broth.

Nowadays, most of the lunch and dinner are cooked in a big pot outside, and even Sasha likes this way of eating.Even if you eat steak, you will prepare it in the kitchen and take it outside to eat.

After the morels were cut into slices, Liu Heming cut some pork belly, the kind with more lean meat and less fat.The oil in the small frying pan was heated up, and the meat slices were put into the pan and stir-fried. The sound of the clanging of the spoon and the pan was quite rhythmic.Alex stood by Liu Heming's side, holding a plate of morel slices, waiting for Liu Heming's order.

The big bone soup over there is almost done, so this matter will be handed over to Sasha.Recently, Sasha is gradually replacing Alex in the kitchen.

"Alex, pay attention, let go." Liu Heming said to his daughter.

When the little guy got the order, he poured the morel slices from the plate into the pot, and then his tense little face changed into a smile, which was so beautiful.

Liu Heming started to stir-fry quickly, and even played a trick. He lifted all the vegetables in the pot, lifted them into the air, and then dropped them firmly into the pot.

"Father, there is still fire, fire." The little guy reminded seriously from the side.

It's not that the fire is burning outside, but the little guy likes to see the fire rolling in the pot.Then what else can I say, my daughter has given her orders, so I have to do it myself.

A large plate of fried pork belly with morel mushrooms, plus a large pot of morel mushroom soup, was placed on the table with the efforts of the family of three.

"Come on, try it, and see how it tastes." Liu Heming picked up a piece of morel mushroom for his daughter.

"Well, it's delicious, fleshy, and delicious." The little guy said happily after eating a slice.

"Come and try this soup again." Sasha beside her was not to be outdone, and scooped a small spoonful of soup for her daughter.

The little guy drank the soup happily, and then gave Sasha two thumbs up.

Robin on the side looked at the family of three with a smile, and was very relieved in his heart.It seems that my strategy is still somewhat effective, often living together, how can there be no feelings.

Liu Heming picked up a piece of morel mushroom and put it in his mouth, chewing carefully.

Fresh, this is his first feeling, and then sweet.This kind of sweetness is not the sweetness of eating honey, but the sweetness that appears after being too fresh.

It is the first time that Liu Heming has really experienced the sweetness that people often say.
