Chapter 29 Take a rest at the Xiongfeng Hotel on the col

Depart from Songbai Town by car, pass Hongping Gallery and Muyu Town, then drive into Xingshan County, and reach the junction of Shennongjia and Xingshan. up.On this col, there is a cluster of restaurants. The cluster of restaurants chooses this place, probably from Songbai Town, and it happens to be here at lunch time. Everyone wants to drink here before going to Yichang. I lived in Shennongjia for nearly 20 days. When I left, I felt a little nostalgic and wanted to go out of the mountain. This time, Mr. Tan Mingliang from the Religious Affairs Bureau of the Forest District drove me. He also had business to go out of the mountain.Mr. Tan's car is a very old Crown, which was probably in the 1980s. The car moves slowly, with the windows open, and the breeze is blowing.This road has already been walked once when going to Songbai Town, but the experience of returning is different, one bend after another, the road surface of the winding mountain road is smooth and smooth, floating in the mountains like a black ribbon, the car drives forward smoothly, In front of you is the winding peaks, the green Cangshan Mountains everywhere, and the singing of birds wafting into your ears.When I passed the Hongping Gallery, I saw a pair of white-crowned pheasants taking a leisurely walk by the side of the road. The car approached and walked leisurely into the forest, but they didn't look at the car. They walked by themselves, showing off their beautiful long tails.When passing through the Swallow Cave, a short-billed swiftlet flew side by side with the car at the same cruising speed. The fluff on the back of its wings shone golden in the sunlight. Hongping Gallery, is it Hongping Gallery?

Mr. Tan stopped the car and said, we must have dinner here, and we will arrive in Yichang at sunset.So, we came to Xiongfeng Hotel.This restaurant is just a farm house, but the hall and wing rooms have all become places for eating.Mr. Tan said, let's have a rock fish pot.Yanbanyu’s hot pot, this rock is pronounced as 恩 (ai), so Yanban also means stupid in the Hubei dialect, and Yanbanyu hot pot makes me understand it as stupid fish hot pot. Rockfish lives in deep pools under cliffs and in mountain streams with rocks. It looks exactly like catfish, but it is only five or six inches long and will not grow up. Generally, it is regarded as a small catfish with a black back and a white belly. , a little naive when swimming in the water, which is probably one of the meanings of the name of the rock fish.I ordered a large pot, which was full of rock fish. As usual, the bottom of the pot was made of chili, wood ginger, ginger, and aniseed ingredients. The taste of wood ginger was particularly strong.The rock fish grew up in the clear water in the mountains. It tastes tender and sweet, and the meat is delicate and dense. After being stewed in a hot pot for a while, it tends to melt. When you pick it up with chopsticks and suck it hard, the meat will Gudu Gudu came down, mixed with the green, astringent and numb flavor of Mujiangzi, the dry and spicy taste of red pepper, the sour taste of tomato and the sauce flavor of broad bean paste, is it a good pot of fish?

While drinking corn wine, Mr. Tan couldn't drink it when he was driving, so he listened to him talk about the wild vegetables in Shennongjia.There are nearly a hundred kinds of wild vegetables in Shennongjia, Mr. Tan said, such as wild leeks, which grow towards the cornfield.He said that he wanted to develop the resources in this area and transport them to Beijing and Shanghai, without fertilization or medicine, and let wild vegetables grow in the pure natural environment of Shennongjia, how beautiful it is!I think Mr. Tan's idea is very good. I said, I hope to develop "Bang Bang" most. protected list.Mr. Tan said that "Bangbang" breeding is the easiest. You only need to surround a field with a net between the edge of the forest and the stream, hang electric lights to attract insects in the forest, and the forest frog can grow extremely fast.

Also, Shennongjia's very common things are all rare in the world, but they have to reach the external market, but there is a relatively high transportation cost, that is, a fresh-keeping car is required.While drinking corn wine and eating slate fish, I heard Mr. Tan's plan to develop wild vegetables. He said that the land where yams and corn are grown can be used to grow wild vegetables.I said, then go to Beijing to open a Shennongjia wild vegetable restaurant, and I will specially bring netizens to taste it.It’s really a good feeling. Mr. Tan said that if I come to Shennongjia next time, he will definitely take me to a farmhouse in the mountains to eat hard-to-eat wild vegetables. A plan is to return to Shennongjia soon. When I positioned this magical primeval forest, I thought of "pure mountains, water, and people". When I was about to leave, I seemed to be saying goodbye to a poetic realm.In addition, I also remember one thing. Mr. Tan said that judging from the anatomy of the salamander, there are many eggs in its abdomen. The difficulty of its artificial reproduction is that they have to fight fiercely before mating. He bit one of them until his skin was rotten and his flesh was torn, and he died.He saw that there was a successful artificial breeding in Enshi. The male and female were separated by barbed wire, so that they could not bite each other, but they could fertilize the fish eggs. Since then, the reproductive rate of salamanders has been improved, so the breeders have gained economic benefits, and many The gluttonous have a good fortune.
