"**It has some of the most dramatic natural landscapes in the world, with plateaus, mountains, forests, lakes and coastlines. This geographical span contributes to the formation and preservation of species. No other country has so many potential food raw materials."

"In order to obtain this natural gift, people collect, pick up, dig and fish. Traveling through the four seasons, this episode will show the stories of people and nature behind the delicious food.……"

An emotional narration takes people into a new world of food.

The theme of Episode 1 is"Gifts of Nature".

Representative individuals, families and communities living in completely different geographical environments within the country will be selected as the protagonists of the story, as well as the completely different eating habits and lifestyles brought about by the huge differences in the natural environment as the background of the story. Show how nature gives food to people in different ways."One Three Zero" tells the story of how we live in harmony with nature, and how we obtain food through various different ways in the traditional way of life passed down from generation to generation.

However, viewers like Xiaochun mainly focus on the food itself.

Then I saw the first ingredient, located in the legendary Shangri-La, an elf-like food - matsutake

"Matsutake, a precious edible fungus, can only survive in high-altitude mountains without pollution.……"

"Matsutake belongs to the nobility among wild mushrooms. In restaurants in big cities, the price of a serving of charcoal-grilled matsutake can reach 1,600 yuan.……"

"The aroma of matsutake mushrooms is strong and astonishing. After being roasted for a while, the heat will force out a mineral aroma. This makes people who are far away from nature regard this thing as a treasure……"

Watching the matsutake slices being grilled on the TV, releasing oil, water and fragrance, and listening to the appetizing narration, Xiaochun's mouth watered down.

"I really want to buy a matsutake and give it a try. It will be delicious when used in fried rice!"

As a result, the screen changed to a scene introducing the villagers of Shangri-La's Jidi Village collecting matsutake mushrooms.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, all the people in the village who had the ability to ascend had already gone out to look for this magical fungus, and the whole village became a empty village

"If I don't find it, and others are ahead of me, I won't be able to find anything. Others will pull out all the matsutake mushrooms.……"

Originally, all the food scenes were switched away. Xiaochun felt a little dissatisfied. She was about to eat.

But when she heard Zhuoma's heartbreaking words and the wry smile in the TV show, she felt faintly touched in her heart, so she continued watching.

In the picture, Dolma and her daughter go into the mountains to look for matsutake mushrooms

"Passing through the village, the mother and daughter walked into the primeval forest 20 kilometers away.……"

"Even for villagers who are familiar with the forest, collecting matsutake is a labor of luck. The high-quality matsutake mushrooms were hidden under the soil, and my mother was looking for the fungus pit she had kissed two days ago. Sure enough, new matsutake mushrooms grew in the sandy loam layer. Unfortunately, there was not enough rain this year and the matsutake mushrooms were too small.……"

"My mother just didn't pay attention to her body and was always looking for matsutake mushrooms. She was a little worried. One day she got dizzy and fell down on the mountain. After all, she is older……"

Listening to the narration in the program and watching the scenes of searching for matsutake mushrooms, the sadness of the mother and daughter searching for matsutake mushrooms was revealed in front of people.

For some matsutake, I actually traveled 2 kilometers through mountains and rivers...

Matsutake are hidden in the soil, and you have to dig it yourself, which is very laborious...

Like Dolma's mother, she still has to do these things even at her old age...

Dolma is worried about her mother Falling in the mountains...

They are obviously ordinary scenes, without excessive sensationalism, just simple narration, but Xiaochun thought of his own home and his mother and father. When he was a child, in order to give her good food, he often got up early and stayed up until late, and his hair was all wet. White.

Looking back now, how sad it is.

There was a red circle in Xiaochun's eyes:"It's all for life, how difficult it is.……"

She remembered that there was a box of jam sent by her mother in the refrigerator, which was pickled by her mother. She usually disliked it and didn't want to eat it, but now she had an urge to eat it.

So, she immediately rushed to the refrigerator and took out the sealed jam.

Then, the program introduced another way to make matsutake mushrooms, which is fried matsutake mushroom slices.

Although it is just a simple method, watching the wonderful chemical reaction between matsutake slices and ghee in the black clay pot, making a squeaking sound of oil, and the aroma seems to come through the screen, I feel full of happiness......

However, happiness is always short-lived.

The program began to introduce the commercial value of matsutake mushrooms

"In the past, Tibetans did not like to eat matsutake mushrooms because they thought they tasted weird. Originally, matsutake mushrooms only cost a few cents per pound. However, in recent years, the value of matsutake mushrooms has soared, earning tens of thousands of yuan a summer, making herdsmen extremely hardworking during the rainy season.……"

"The acquisition of matsutake adheres to a strict hierarchy, with 48 different levels, which must be strictly distinguished from the first place of origin.……"

"The limit of keeping matsutake mushrooms fresh is three days, and merchants carry out delicate processing of matsutake mushrooms as quickly as possible. The purchasing price of such a matsutake in the place of origin is 80 yuan. Six hours later, it will appear in a supermarket in Tokyo for 700 yuan.……"

Various introductions have made tens of millions of viewers across the country see the edible and commercial value of matsutake, and they can't help but want to eat it.

Matsutake has a strong flavor and is highly sought after by diners.

Matsutake has extremely high profits and is favored by merchants.

But behind the pursuit of delicious food and profit, it often indicates cruelty

"Dolma was crowded among the crowd. The matsutake she picked up in the morning was of average quality, and she was very anxious.……"

"One day just passed, Dolma and her mother walked on the mountain road for 11 hours, but the money in exchange was very little. If you miss this month of the rainy season, the matsutake mushrooms will disappear without a trace. The whole family is looking forward to good luck tomorrow 1.9……"

……

In order to find matsutake mushrooms and to make a living, people in Tibetan areas wake up early and go into the mountains at great risk to collect them.

In the end, I made money, which is just an ordinary salary level for people in the city.

But this is the most satisfying income for the Dolma family.

On one side, there are ridiculously expensive matsutake mushrooms, and on the other side, there is a low income that can barely support a family. The huge gap between the city and the countryside is vividly displayed in front of everyone.

Xiaochun Nannan said:""It seems to say 'a gift from nature'. How do I feel? It says more about 'life is not easy'.’?"

However, even though life is difficult, the villagers who rely on the mountains for food and water are still grateful for the gifts of nature and abide by the rules of the mountains and forests. Without this gift, their lives would have been even more difficult. _To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novels
