"Great-grandfather, why didn't you sleep on the beach by the lake just now? Wasn't that place very good? Why did he choose this place?”Long Zaitian, who was following behind his great-grandfather, was a little puzzled, so he asked.
"Actually, the choice of campsite is the key to camping in the mountains!" He couldn't choose the valley because the weather in the mountains was unpredictable. It might be clear during the day, but it might rain heavily at night and flash floods. If it rained and the water rose when they were sleeping at night, the flood would sweep away the people who were camping in the valley, leaving no chance for them. Of course, the dense forest was not a good place to stay. Compared to the relatively spacious and empty forest in the north, it was difficult to find a place to set up camp in the southern jungle, which was located in the subtropics. Moreover, the dense forests in the south were filled with weeds, shrubs, and vines. Coupled with the lack of sunlight all year round, the fallen leaves in the dense forests rotted, breeding countless mosquitoes and poisonous creatures. Not to mention, there were also all kinds of ferocious beasts. Just thinking about it made one shudder.”
Grandpa, who was beside him, continued,"The poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts on the mountain will come to the lake to drink at midnight. If we set up camp by the lake, wouldn't we be putting ourselves in danger? Moreover, at night, you can observe the situation around the lake from this high place. Learn more from us in the future.”
After choosing this campsite, everyone began to work according to the division of labor plan. First, Second Uncle brought three people back home to get military sabers, guns, explosives, and ropes. He also told his family that everyone was safe so that they wouldn't worry and cause more trouble.
Great-grandfather instructed his grandfather and father to work hard at the lodging, cleaning up the weeds around them. After digging the platform, he began to build the military tent. After a while, a decent campsite was ready.
While his grandfather was busy cleaning up the camp, Long Zaitian and the remaining elders took their bows and went into the nearby forest, preparing to hunt some wild game as tonight's dish. After about twenty minutes, Long Zaitian and the others had hunted more than ten pheasants and seven to eight wild rabbits. They also caught more than ten wild Crucian Carps in a stream. Long Zaitian also carried a small box of fern on his back.
Just as he was about to leave the forest, Long Zai Tian thought of picking up some dry firewood. He looked around and found a dry pine tree on the ground. He walked over and picked it up. He found a large cluster of fungi and quickly shouted,"Great-grandfather, grandfather, quickly come over and take a look at what kind of fungus this is! Can it be eaten?" Long Zai Tian asked as he held a toe-sized mushroom covered in yellowish-brown stripes.
"This should be the matsutake known as the 'King of Mushrooms'. It's rich in nutrients, so of course it can be eaten!”Grandpa, who followed the sound, looked carefully and then leaned under the tree to check before saying to Long Zai Tian and the others.
The matsutake mushroom, technically known as Matsutake mushroom, was a top-notch mushroom treasure. It was distributed in the dense forests of Yunnan pine, Huashan pine, Qinling pine, and birch trees, as well as in the subtropics. Because artificial cultivation had not been realized so far, it had to be harvested from the wild, so the market was very small. Generally, only people at the top could enjoy it.
Immediately, the few of them began to search for pine mushrooms at the edge of the pine forest, hoping to find more to feast on. After a while, everyone found a large number of pine mushrooms at the edge of the pine forest. It was enough for everyone to taste this mountain delicacy!
Seeing that the sun was about to set, everyone hurriedly prepared dinner because they could not see much at night. The preparations for entering the mountain this time were quite sufficient. They had brought pots, pans, and ingredients. One pot stewed wild carp soup, and the other cooked rice. When the rice was ready, it could be used to stir-fry other game. Long Zai Tian looked at everyone's busy scene and excitedly skewered the pine mushrooms and excess chicken meat. He roasted them over the fire, and the entire camp was filled with all kinds of fragrances.
Everyone worked together for more than half an hour and finally made dinner for tonight. In order to commemorate the first meal they had in the wild today, and for the sake of today's bumper harvest and the future of the family, everyone made an exception and drank three or four bottles of Erguotou to celebrate! Then, everyone began to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.
