Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 18 First Encounter

After the exciting election of the captain, Chunni's life became more peaceful. The plaster on her left arm has been removed, and she can do it as long as she doesn't use too much force.

It was a morning after the rain, and Lion Rock was shrouded in fog, like a fairyland.

Chunni woke up at dawn. She ate breakfast in a hurry and went out with Xiazhi.

Dong Lin cried, but still waved to his elder sister. He knew that the mountain road was difficult to travel, especially after the rain, which was even more difficult.

Shu Road is difficult, and it is difficult to ascend to the sky.

Chunni and her friends are going deep into Lion Mountain to look for mushrooms and wild vegetables.

This was actually considered an act of undermining socialism at the time, but in Lion Rock, there were quite a few people who did this secretly.

People are almost starving to death, how can they care so much? It is impossible to manage such a poor and remote place even if they manage it!

Lion Mountain is not just one mountain, but several mountains connected together. It is named because it looks like a sleeping lion. There are many rabbits and pheasants in Lion Mountain. It is said that there are wolves in the deepest part of the mountain. In the disaster years when there is no food, there are wolves coming down the mountain to cause trouble to the neighbors.

However, the weather has been good in recent years, and we haven't seen any wolves. They may have moved to the deep mountains and forests.

There are fields all around Lion Rock, then there is what everyone calls the outer area, then the more dangerous central area, and finally the deepest part, which is where no one dares to set foot.

The place where Chunni and her brother went was in the middle area of ​​Lion Mountain. There was no other way, as most of the food available in the outer areas had been found by the half-grown children in the village. They could only go to a farther place to look for it.

As soon as they entered the middle area, Xia Zhi took Chunni to the place where he used to look for mushrooms. Mushrooms have their own favorite growing environment. If they grow here this year, there is a high probability that they will grow here next year.

During the summer solstice, he would go up the mountain from time to time to look for bird eggs and wild fruits. He was very familiar with this area!

In a short while, they came to a den, and as expected, they found several chicken mushrooms near the den.

Chunni was a mushroom lover in her previous life and is very familiar with all kinds of mushrooms. Her favorite is the Alpinia hortensis, which is excellent for scrambling eggs or making soup, and is extremely delicious.

Shizi Village is located in the southwest of Sichuan, with a humid climate and abundant rainfall. There are not only Altissima, beautiful coral mushrooms, plump boletus, but also various types of matsutake mushrooms that are exported to China and abroad. Just imagine, stewing a plump pheasant with various mushrooms for two hours, the taste will probably make your tongue go off.

Speaking of pheasants, Chunni saw a pheasant in flowery clothes swaggering past her. There were few people coming here, and the pheasants were not afraid of people. It was really something that even my uncle could tolerate, but my aunt couldn't!

In a flash, Chunni pounced on the pheasant. But she failed.

The pheasant was frightened and ran away screaming.

"Xiazhi, come and catch the pheasants!" Chunni called Xiazhi who was picking mushrooms.

The two men ran after the chicken, panting.

The pheasant ran forward desperately for its life. It flew and ran, clucking from time to time, as if laughing at some stupid humans.

The two men and the chicken unknowingly arrived at a bamboo forest.

Chunni and Xiazhi stepped on the withered yellow fallen leaves, making a rustling sound, breaking the tranquility of the bamboo forest.

Soon they reached a cliff.

The pheasant spread its wings like a roc, flew over the cliff, and flew to the opposite hillside. The pheasant finally escaped, and disappeared from Chunni's sight with its wings fluttering.

"Oh, my pheasant stewed with mushrooms!" Chunni's words were full of longing and a hint of regret.

"Haha." Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from under the cliff.

Chunni was stunned, and when she looked down she saw the young man!
