Rain in KunmingThe author of this short essay with the rain in Kunming as a clue to depict what things in the rain

In the article "rain in Kunming", the author also depicted the rain cactus , all kinds of fungus, fruit prunes, maenggai flowers and other things. The original portrayal is as follows:

Kunming mushrooms are extremely abundant. Stroll through the food market in the rainy season, you can see all kinds of mushrooms at any time. The most, but also the cheapest is the porcini mushrooms. When the porcini mushrooms come down, every restaurant sells fried porcini mushrooms, and even the table in the cafeteria of the Southwest United University can have a bowl. The porcini mushrooms are as colorful as the liver of a cow, smooth, tender, fresh, fragrant and very tasty.

Stir-fried porcini mushrooms must put more garlic, otherwise it is easy to make people faint. Green head mushrooms are slightly more expensive than porcini mushrooms. This kind of mushroom fried also still light green, style than porcini mushrooms. The king of mushrooms is chicken fir, which has a strong flavor and is incomparable to other mushrooms. Chicken fir is a valuable mountain treasure, but it is not really expensive. The price of a plate of braised chicken fir is comparable to a bowl of cassoulet, because it is not rare in Yunnan.

There is a joke: someone from Kunming train to Chenggong, in the car to see a fir on the ground, he jumped down to the fir to pick up, tight two steps, but also climbed on the train. This joke is intended to illustrate the slow train from Kunming to Chenggong, but it also shows that the fir can be found everywhere. There is a kind of fungus, in the food is not in the look, called the dry fungus.

At first glance, the look, really call people doubt: this kind of thing can also eat? The color is dark brown with green, a little like a pile of half-dried cow dung or a wasp's nest that has been stepped on. Inside, there are many grass stems, loose hairs and mess! But with a little effort, the grass stems and loose hairs clean, torn into crab leg meat thickness of the silk, and green chili pepper and stir-fried together, the mouth will make you open your eyes: this thing is so delicious?

There is another kind of fungus, which is not good-looking, called chanterelles. Are the general size, there is a piece of silver round as big as the round, light yellow color, just like chicken oil. This kind of fungus can only do dishes with color, not very taste.

The fruit of the rainy season is prunes. Sell prunes are Miao girls, wearing a small flower hat, wearing the tip of the embroidered shoes full of flowers, sitting in the corner of people's steps, from time to time to call out: "Sell prunes -", the voice of the delicate. Their voices soften the air of the rainy season in Kunming. Kunming's plums are very large, as big as a ping-pong ball, black-red, black-red in color, and are called "fire-charcoal plums".

This is a very good name for a ball of red-hot charcoal! It's not sour at all! I've eaten plums from Dongting Mountain in Suzhou and Jinggang Mountain, but none of them seem to compare to Kunming's Fo Tan plums. The flower of the rainy season is the Maine osmanthus. The flower is the white orchid, which is known as the "put-er orchid" in Beijing (a bad name).

Yunnan calls this flower "mainggui", which may have originally been imported from Burma, and the flower's scent is a bit like that of osmanthus, which has nothing to do with osmanthus. --But then again, other places call it white orchid, handle orchid, it and the orchid is not next to ah, but also because it is very fragrant, fragrant like orchids. I saw in my hometown is mostly a person tall, Kunming's Maenggui is a big tree!

I lived in Ruoyuan Lane, No. 2, there is a large laurel in the yard, dense leaves, the surrounding rooms are reflecting the green. When it was in full bloom, the landlord (a widow in her fifties) and one of her adopted daughters built a ladder to go up and pick it, and every day they would pick off a lot of it and take it to the flower market to sell it. She was probably afraid that the tenants would pick her flowers indiscriminately, and from time to time she gave some to each family.

Sometimes she sent a seven-inch plate full of katydid flowers! The raindrops of the maize laurel made my heart soft, not with nostalgia, not with homesickness.
