Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

Kangding City is really not big. It took less than half an hour to ride a motorcycle through the city.

When we came to the mountain road, the scenery was really amazing. The roadside was almost covered with azaleas, which were in full bloom.

Zhao Qin stopped several times to take photos with Chen Xue.

Awang also stopped the car and looked at the two people with smiles on their faces. Occasionally, he would help take a photo of the two of them.

The originally one-hour ride ended up taking nearly two hours to reach the edge of the mountain.

There will be wooden houses at the bottom of the mountain. Awang parked the car next to the wooden house and simply locked it.

Zhao Qin has always been curious. Not to mention here, in many big cities now, such theft is common. Ten years later, there are still people who specialize in battery theft.

Why is Awang not afraid of his motorcycle being stolen?

Not to mention locking it, you can easily do it with a large steel bar pliers. If you understand a little about the circuit principles of motorcycles, you can still start the engine without a key.

This stop lasts most of the day, so why doesn't anyone care about it?

If you ask Awang, he will tell you that no one in Kangding dares to touch his things. He only pretends to be cool and won't give any accurate words.

It was Agula who explained it to him.

“What we Tibetans despise most are thieves. Maybe there are some who fight and rob, but there are really not many thieves.

Not to mention two cars, the family's thousands of yaks are kept free-range in the mountains and can be easily taken away. But over the course of a year, apart from those who died of illness, there was not much loss. "

Well, the people are simple and don’t pick up any miscellaneous things on the road.

However, this is only for Tibetans. Foreigners who came before were robbed without even having their clothes left.

We can't just say that Tibetans are xenophobic. The main reason is that when we first started to interact with each other, the two sides were unequal. The locals were completely deceived, and it was really impossible to make them have any favorable impression of outsiders.

The mountains here are obviously gentler and lush, with more trees. Poplar, spruce, and even rhododendron trees can grow up to three meters high.

"Aqin, here you go."

Awang broke off a straight branch from a fallen dead tree and sharpened one end with his knife.

"what?"

"Go to an area with shrubs and tap it to scare away snakes. In places with a lot of fallen leaves, matsutake mushrooms are invisible. You can use this tap to find the newly emerged matsutake mushrooms by feel."

Although Zhao Qin didn't understand much, he still took over.

Awang cut another one and gave it to Chen Xue, and the three of them each took one. Agula went up the mountain and separated, agreeing to meet here at noon.

Awang walked with a stick and knocked it on the ground. The two of them also imitated.

After a moment, Chen Xue finally couldn't help but laugh, "Does it look like three blind people walking?"

"Hahaha, we are just blind people exploring the road now." Awang also thought this description was quite good and responded with a smile.

The next moment, Awang squatted down with a sigh, pushed aside the fallen leaves on the ground with his hands, and waved the two of them to come forward and take a look, "Now, this is the matsutake. This one has its head exposed, and some are just a bulge on the ground." Bag,

The method of digging is similar to Cordyceps. Use a stick to insert it into the bottom. Be sure not to break it. If it breaks, you can only eat it by yourself. "

Zhao Qin and Ah Xue looked at each other and smiled. They both understood what the other was thinking. They didn't want to sell for money, they were just digging for their own food.

Seeing Awang dig out one, Zhao Qin and Ah Xue thought they understood it and started to look for it themselves.

"Wow, I found one." Chen Xue's cheerful voice sounded.

Zhao Qin took a closer look and found that this tree was easy to find because the fat head was exposed and there were no fallen leaves to cover it.

"It's amazing." As for my wife, if she doesn't praise herself, why should she wait for others to praise her?

Hearing what he said, Chen Xue became even more happy. She refused to let him do it and insisted on digging it out by herself. Although she didn't care about the broken ones, it would be better if she could dig out the whole ones.

Therefore, Ashue's movements were very light and took more time.

Zhao Qin knocked the stick in his hand casually, and suddenly he felt a different feeling. There was a very slight rebound at the end of the stick, which was not as solid as hitting the ground.

Pushing aside the fallen leaves, I saw a matsutake that had just emerged.

I was quite talented, and I mastered the technique of hitting matsutake mushrooms with a stick in just one go. I was quite proud of myself and dug them up carefully.

I found that this one was quite big, probably about three or four.

Awang randomly knocked and found another one. Instead of digging, he scratched his head and glanced at Zhao Qin who was admiring the matsutake, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Matsutake mushrooms are very expensive. The main reason why they are so expensive is of course their rarity.

In this season in the past, it would have been good to dig out five or six seeds each time they went up the mountain. But today, as soon as they came up, the three of them had already harvested something.

I guess my father's place must be open as well.

Could it be that Aqin is really the chosen one with unlucky luck?

Otherwise, how can you explain that by working with him, you can harvest more than ten kilograms of cordyceps in a few days, and now, it seems that you can touch matsutake mushrooms with just a tap of a stick.

Just as I was thinking about it, I discovered another one the next moment.

"Aqin, mine is so big."

Zhao Qin looked at the second one that Ah Xue dug up. It was nearly 20 centimeters long, and the mushroom part was bigger than a baby's fist, and he laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"Not as big as mine." Zhao Qin said matter-of-factly.

Chen Xue seemed to react immediately and glared at him with a red face, "There is nothing formal at all."

Zhao Qin innocently took out one from his back and handed it to her, "Your Bibi is not as big as mine. Why is it out of shape?"

"Huh, that's definitely not what you just said."

"what does that mean?"

Chen Xue stretched out her hand and pinched his waist lightly. She glanced at Awang next to her and signaled that someone else was there.

"Shape complements shape. I feel like I can eat more."

"You still say it!"

Zhao Qin smiled, stopped joking, and looked for the matsutake mushrooms carefully.

Awang kept a little distance from the two, but it was not far away, within sight of Luowei, while Zhao Qin kept following Chen Xue, worried that there was a real snake and frightened her.

After a while, Zhao Qin dug up five or six, and Chen Xue also dug up three.

It seemed that the harvest was good, and the two of them did not feel bored. On the contrary, Ashue's interest was quite high, and she felt quite excited about participating in a treasure hunt.

"Aqin, sister-in-law, let's take a rest in the middle. My father is also there."

The three of them didn't go very far when they met Agula. Seeing the three of them, Agula grinned and said, "The matsutake market is good this year. It's a pity that I discovered it too late."

"Abba, don't even think about coming here to pick it. No one will be worried if you go into the mountains alone."

After sitting down to rest, Zhao Qin first brought a bottle of water to Chen Xue, and then the four of them began to eat the food they had brought, while sharing the morning's income.

Agula's income is the best. I dug up more than 30 pieces. The small ones were more than one or two, and the big ones weighed half a catty. They weighed about ten catties.

Zhao Qin and the three of them together have a weight of fifteen pounds.

In other words, four people dug more than 20 kilograms in one morning.

"Agula, how is the matsutake market now?"

"It's not bad. The fresh product can be sold for about 18 yuan per pound. The dried product is probably over 200 yuan. Of course, it depends on the quality. What we pick are all high-quality products, so the price may be higher."

The huge disparity between fresh and dried matsutake is because 10 kilograms of fresh matsutake can produce 1 kilogram of dried matsutake, resulting in a huge loss of water.

Matsutake mushrooms that have just emerged are difficult to spot.
