Chapter 159 Birch Has a Baby

"Guess? Where are the leaves of the birch tree here?" Ji Dong pointed to the two leaves in his hand.

Constantly swapping the order back and forth.

Sister Zifeng was confused.

She really couldn't tell the difference: "┭┮﹏┭┮, little brother, please forgive me, I don't know this."

"Okay, this one was picked up from the ground over there, poplar leaves, you have studied the praise of poplars, there should be descriptions in it." Lin Yi told sister Zifeng.

Poplar leaves are very characteristic.

The margin is irregular, like a gear, and the blade and petiole are short.

It is covered with a layer of short white hairs, and the leaves grow alone and are oval.

"It's pretty, I can take some back and use them as bookmarks." Sister Zifeng said.

"The leaves of the birch tree are more regular, and the edges of the leaves are also gear-shaped, which are denser than the leaves of the poplar." Lin Yi held the leaves of the birch tree. The comparison between the two is very obvious.

The leaves of the birch tree are thinner, triangular and diamond-shaped, and the leaves are very long.

The water friends in the live broadcast room directly called 666.

"Brother, are you a walking encyclopedia?"

"Is there anything else my little brother doesn't know?"

"Haha, learning is useless, study is useless, I will find the elementary school Chinese textbook later, and compare it."

Lin Yi and the others did not let go of that birch tree.

They were cut together.

Most of the trees they cut down are pine and fir trees, birch and poplar, which can be used to lay floors and furniture later, so that the overall tone of the house will be more harmonious.

Also more diverse.

"This white birch tree should be quite old. I really didn't expect that there are still white birch trees in the grassland." Huang Xiaochu started to cut down the white birch trees.

The age of the tree, the most intuitive way is to look at the thickness of the tree body, you can know whether it is an old tree or a big tree.

The bark of an old tree is also different from that of a younger tree.

Of course, we can only make a rough guess. To determine the year, we still have to look at the tree rings after the tree is brought down.

After the tree is felled, many concentric rings can be seen on the stump, which are called annual rings in botany.

Annual rings are formed by the influence of seasons during the growth of trees, and one round is produced every year.

Tree rings are nature's most faithful recorders.

It can record the surrounding climate, environment and history of the trees over the years.

It is the most primitive climate memory.

"Get out of the way, everyone, this tree is about to fall." Lin Yi reminded everyone to pay attention.

This birch tree was bigger than the ones cut down before, so more people helped.

"This tree must be 30 meters high, almost as high as a ten-story building." Director Xixi was a little excited when he saw the tree fall to the ground and the ground tremble.

This kind of scene has never happened in the previous seasons.

Every time the tree falls to the ground, there will be a burst of cheers in the live broadcast room.

The water friends in the live broadcast room are still very interested in cutting trees.

"Brother, do you know that there is a very expensive medicinal material on the birch tree, called Chaga Velvet?"

"+1, my brother has a good personality, you can go and look for it, maybe you can find it."

"Chaga velvet is also divided into grades, and the price of the lowest grade chaga velvet is still very affordable."

"Wait, what are you talking about? Why haven't I heard of it? What is chaga?"

Many water lovers in the southern region are confused. What is chaga?
"Sister Zifeng, have you heard of birch velvet?" Xiaochu Huang asked curiously.

Sister Zifeng shook her head: "What is this?"

"Xiao Yi should know." Huang Xiaochu smiled at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded.

It is natural that chaga is also a medicinal herb.

And as the water friend said, the price varies greatly depending on the level, and the top-level chaga can also be regarded as a treasure.

Ji Dong explained to them, and everyone was stunned.

But Ji Dong told them, chaga velvet is so easy to find.

Chaga, also known as Inonotus obliquus, is a medicinal fungus that grows on birch trees.

In fact, it is not well-known in our country, and even abroad, it is only said that it has only been taken seriously in recent decades.

In the past, it was only circulated in a small area in Siberia.

Now, it is touted by countless people as the king of herbs and forest diamond.

"Foreign countries call this thing a gift from God." Lin Yi said.

"Brother, can you tell me how you know so much knowledge? Were you a top student when you were in school?" Sister Zifeng looked at Lin Yi with some admiration.

"It should be a scumbag. In class, he doesn't listen carefully and likes to read extracurricular books." Lin Yi coughed, but it was true.

When he was a child, he liked to read those mysterious events, story clubs, and messy magazines.

Chaga is also written.

There is even a story about a group of mysterious people in Siberia who specialize in picking chaga.
"Actually, it is accurate to say that it is a gift from God to the poor." Lin Yi looked at the birch tree. Although he did not have any hope, he still glanced at it.

At the same time, he also chatted with the water friends and Huang Xiaochu in the live broadcast room about chaga.

The growing conditions of chaga are very harsh.

Moreover, it has not been cultivated artificially so far, so its price is very expensive, and rare things are more expensive.

Many people may think that there is no chaga in our country. In fact, they are wrong. There are chaga in the Northeast, the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains and Changbai Mountains. It is just that because of the great reputation of Siberian chaga, so our country’s Chaga has not received much attention.

The vast majority of chaga grow in the depths of untouched virgin forests.

Of course, the difficulty of finding them is still lower than that of wild ginseng.

Because of chaga, on average every [-] birch trees can grow a chaga strain.

But wild ginseng is really rare.

"I still don't quite understand, chaga velvet, is it a mushroom?" Sister Zifeng was still confused.

Because a few days ago, the mushrooms picked by the mushroom house were all this fungus, that fir tree, and other velvet. These are all fungi and mushrooms.

So sister Zifeng also subconsciously thinks that chaga is a kind of mushroom.

"You can also put it this way, it is indeed a kind of fungus." Ji Dong nodded.

There are thousands of mushrooms in the world, and there are many strange varieties.

Chaga strain is one of them.

It is very active, not the same as other mushrooms, it is more like a parasite on birch trees.

During its growth process, it will continue to absorb nutrients from the birch tree. When the chaga grows up, the birch tree will be exhausted and die.

Therefore, many people call chaga the cancer of birch.

What Ji Dong said made sister Zifeng dumbfounded, what a guy.

Is this Chaga the cancer cell in Chaga? ?

Sucking to death is too vivid.

The water friends in the live broadcast room were dumbfounded.

"From then on, I can't bear to look directly at the chaga."

"Brother, you can explain."
