Cousin's family found wild mushrooms while harvesting corn, and his son said he could eat two big bowls with noodles

Cousin's family was harvesting corn when they unexpectedly found delicious wild mushrooms. His son: with these cooked into noodles, I could eat two big bowls!

Autumn has arrived, a joyful time when all kinds of fruits and crops have ripened; it is the harvest season. And here where we live, the weather this year has been favorable, which fills us farmers with confidence about this year's crops.

Cousin's family lives in the countryside, less than two kilometers from our home. It happened to be the weekend, and the weather was especially nice, so cousin specifically asked the factory for two days off and rushed back from the city to help bring in the corn harvest. He also asked me to come over and help him harvest corn for a day. Because the mountain roads here are rugged and inconvenient, we can only carry it home in back baskets. To be honest, work like this really is not possible without a few strong laborers.

So, taking advantage of the still-decent weather, I arrived at his house early. He called over his wife, sons and daughters, and the whole family pitched in. Just as we were snapping corn cobs, a scream from his youngest son left us baffled. We thought he had been stung by a bee or bitten by an insect. We hurried over to look, and there was a pleasant surprise.

It turned out to be the wild, delicious santang mushroom, which city people also call jizong. According to the old people, this kind of mushroom can run away. If you see this kind of mushroom, search carefully around it, and there will be two more mushrooms nearby, which is why it is called santang mushroom. Sure enough, after searching carefully, we found several more not far from that spot. At the same time, the old people also said that in order to keep this kind of mushroom, you have to kneel while digging it out. But as young people today, we still do not believe that.

Seeing wild mushrooms like this, I cannot say how happy I felt. Because I had been away working for several years and was not home, although I could eat this kind of thing outside too, it did not taste like home. Today I have to eat a really good meal.

Jizong is a rather delicious mushroom. The most authentic way here is to wash it, cut it into sections, fry it in oil into spicy crispy bits, and use it to cook noodles. No wonder my little nephew said that with this kind of mushroom cooked into noodles, he could eat two bowls himself. But I thought, since we got so many today, we should still change the flavor, stir-fry it with cured meat, and have a proper meal. So we need to quickly have cousin call home to prepare the cured meat. Shoulder the corn, carry the jizong, and off we go!
