Chapter 316 Poison fungus
Considering that it has been snowing for several months, there will be less and less food for herbivores to eat, so the monkeys will try to rob them when they see their winter bamboo shoots.
Widow Jia learned from Li Qingxiu's words that the monkeys wanted their winter bamboo shoots. She immediately wanted to unload the bamboo basket behind her, but was stopped by Li Qingxiu.
"Auntie, what are you doing?"
Widow Jia said with a sad face: "What else can we do? I must give the winter bamboo shoots to the monkey, so that we can escape."
Maybe he saw that the bamboo basket on Widow Jia's back was about to be removed. A larger monkey in the monkey group suddenly rushed towards Widow Jia.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Li Qingxiu pulled Widow Jia behind her and raised her hatchet to block the monkey's attack. She swung the hatchet hard and hit the monkey's arm. The monkey screamed and jumped away quickly.
When the other monkeys saw this, there was a commotion, but they did not flinch. They seemed to be enraged and approached Li Qingxiu and Widow Jia one after another.
Li Qingxiu's heart sank, realizing that the situation had become more dangerous. She held the hatchet tightly, preparing for the monkeys' attack.
Widow Jia couldn't care less at this time. She immediately took off the bamboo basket on her shoulder and wanted to pour the bamboo shoots out of the basket to the monkeys so that they could escape.
Seeing this, Li Qingxiu became anxious and quickly said to Widow Jia: "Auntie, don't fall down yet, I have a way."
Li Qingxiu didn't want the winter bamboo shoots he had dug so hard to eat for these monkeys.
When Widow Jia heard this, her face lit up and she quickly asked, "Really? What can I do?"
Li Qingxiu first asked Widow Jia to carry the bamboo basket, and then took three or four winter bamboo shoots and threw them directly behind the monkey group.
Seeing this, the monkeys immediately swarmed to grab the winter bamboo shoots behind them. There were fewer winter bamboo shoots but more monkeys. They lived up to Li Qingxiu's expectations and started fighting.
Li Qingxiu seized the opportunity and pulled Widow Jia to run away quickly. They didn't dare to look back and ran as fast as they could until they felt they were far away from the monkey group.
The two of them were running out of breath and finally stopped. After Li Qingxiu calmed down, she patted her head angrily. How could she have forgotten the paralyzing silver needle?
However, if it can be solved with a few winter bamboo shoots, it is better to use winter bamboo shoots. Paralyzing silver needles are very expensive.
"Hoo ho... Oh my god, you scared me half to death just now. I thought I would be torn apart by those monkeys today." Widow Jia said while panting.
"Auntie, didn't I tell you, those monkeys just want to snatch our winter bamboo shoots. We won't be able to eat them. At most, we will be injured."
After Li Qingxiu finished speaking, she glanced back and said, "Auntie, let's leave quickly, otherwise I'm afraid the monkeys who can't eat the winter bamboo shoots will catch up."
Widow Jia didn't rest after hearing this, and immediately took Li Qingxiu back to Lihua Valley. However, as soon as they returned to Lihua Valley, they found that the atmosphere in Lihua Valley was not right.
At this time, everyone was sitting beside the burning bonfire with confused expressions, waiting for Li Qingxiu to come back.
When they saw Li Qingxiu coming, they all stood up immediately and asked concernedly whether Li Qingxiu and Widow Jia were in danger.
Li Qingxiu was a little confused when she saw that there was no joy on everyone's faces. Today can be considered a good harvest day, why is everyone not happy at all?
Later, Li Dazhuang whispered to Li Qingxiu that Mr. Li Wei said the fungus was poisonous and should not be eaten. He also asked everyone to throw away the fungus. Later, Li Zheng said that he would wait until Li Qingxiu came.
Li Qingxiu became even more confused after hearing this. "Why did Uncle Wei say this? Did he see someone who was poisoned after eating fungus?"
Li Dazhuang nodded: "Well, it is said that someone in another village picked this fungus and ate it, and in the end he died."
Li Qingxiu suddenly remembered that when she and her grandfather went to pick fungus, her grandfather told her that there is a fungus that looks very similar to the fungus called Auricularia foliaceus.
The appearance of A. foliaceus is very similar to that of fungus. The easiest thing to distinguish is that the fungus has a pungent smell, while the fungus does not.
Widow Jia said firmly: "It can't be poisonous. This is what the mountain god told Qingxiu. How could it be poisonous? Could the mountain god kill us?"
Everyone felt that what Widow Jia said was right, but Mr. Li Wei was not a liar.
He was very kind to everyone, and sometimes he just couldn't bring himself to let the blame go. Even if he came to see a doctor, he would waive the medical bills. Moreover, he has a good relationship with Li Qingxiu, so there is no need for Mr. Li Wei to lie.
At this moment, Li Zheng, his son and Li Wei both came over with serious faces and carrying a basket of fungus.
Seeing that Li Qingxiu was back, they walked directly to Li Qingxiu.
Li Zheng frowned and said: "Pretty girl, is this really the fungus that the mountain god told you can be eaten? Are you remembering it wrong? Your uncle Wei said that this fungus is poisonous and cannot be eaten. He saw with his own eyes that someone was poisoned by eating it. The fungus is dead."
Li Qingxiu took a fungus, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it. There was no smell. She said firmly: "Uncle Li Zheng, don't worry, this fungus is definitely edible and not poisonous.
Of course, Uncle Wei was right. There is indeed a poisonous fungus that looks very similar to the non-toxic fungus. The kind that will poison people if eaten. "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that the fungus was really poisonous.
Li Xuan saw that Li Qingxiu had just taken a fungus and smelled it, so he expressed his guess. "You just smelled the fungus. Is it because the poisonous fungus has a smell, while the non-toxic fungus has no smell?"
Li Qingxiu nodded: "Yes, the poisonous fungus has a pungent smell, but the non-toxic fungus does not."
After Li Qingxiu finished speaking, she remembered that in modern times, fungus are dried in the sun and then soaked and eaten. This method is to eliminate a substance unique to the fungus itself.
As for what substance it was, she had forgotten. Anyway, after being exposed to the sun, the substance would dissipate, making it safer to eat the fungus.
Li Qingxiu said: "Oh, by the way, if this non-toxic fungus is fresh, you can't eat too much. If you want to eat more, you must dry it."
Li Zheng was just a little relieved when he heard that the fungus was non-toxic and edible, but when he heard what Li Qingxiu said, his heart immediately lifted again.
"Can I eat it safely after drying it? But there is no sun now, how can I dry it?"
Li Qingxiu thought that every house now has a stone kang, so she said: "It doesn't matter if there is no sun, it can be air-dried."
"Air drying? Tumble drying? What's the difference between the two?" Widow Jia asked with some confusion.
Li Qingxiu explained: "Air-drying means placing the fungus in a ventilated place and letting it dry naturally. Drying uses fire to dry it, which will make it faster.
But you need to pay attention to the heat to avoid burning. Don’t we all have a stone kang bed in every house? That one is very suitable for baking fungus and mushrooms. "
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded to express their understanding.
