Chapter 153: Helping Viburnum (Asking for Subscription)
The way to eat viburnum can not be too gentle, you must directly pick a handful of branches, a number of small fruits from the branches, and then spread out the palms, carefully pick out the impurities, such as leaves, leaf stalks and other things.
After picking and sorting, only a handful of small red fruits remained in the palm of the palm. Most of these small fruits are dozens, and there are at least a dozen. Shake them in the palm of your hand, blow softly, blow away some dust, and then raise your head, open your mouth, and pour them into your mouth.
When the fruit is entered, the first thing that touches the feeling is the fragrance of the small fruit. This fragrance has the same flavor as the branches and leaves of viburnum, and the taste is similar to that of the common shrub 'sandalwood' in the mountains, which is a natural natural fragrance. However, the fragrance carried by viburnum branches and leaves is a little stronger than that of sandalwood.
Therefore, even if these small red fruits that grow once a year do not hang on the branches for a long time, their small bodies are still stained with the rich fragrance of the branches and leaves in addition to the thin skin.
Therefore, as soon as the fruit is eaten, before you have time to bite through the skin of their thin cicada wings, you will be confused by a fragrance, which makes people mistakenly think that this is the taste of the fruit.
But in fact, when the teeth bite through the small fruit, a completely different smell from the fragrance will prevail and directly occupy the entire mouth and taste buds.
Liu Qingshan couldn't wait to chew his teeth. At the moment when the teeth cut the fruit, the small but unusually full fruit immediately burst into a lot of juice.
The juice overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and when he wiped it with his hand, he saw that his dirty fingers were instantly dyed blood red.
At the same time, the fragrance in the mouth is replaced, and the sweet and sour taste is like the sun in winter, giving people a different feeling.
The sweet and sour taste entered the mouths of the laborers, and it could immediately make the mouths of the dry mountain people produce a lot of fluid, so as to quench their thirst.
In addition to the thirst-quenching effect, the most fascinating thing about this viburnum is its pure taste.
After the sweet and sour juice breaks through the wall, it overflows the entire mouth, and it feels like eating red pomegranate seeds. However, the sweet and sour taste of viburnum is more pure and rich, and the taste is more special, so viburnum is really not comparable to pomegranate seeds.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a little more delicious than pomegranate seeds.
In addition to its delicious taste, viburnum can also be used in medicine. Its root has the effect of removing stasis and reducing swelling, and can be used for scrofula, bruises, etc. Its branches and leaves have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling wind and detoxifying. It can be used for boils, fever, wind-heat cold, and can also be used externally to treat allergic dermatitis.
The treatment of atopic dermatitis is topical, as long as you pick some fresh branches and leaves, mash them and apply them externally. You can also take fresh branches and leaves home and boil water to wash the skin, which can also have a healing effect.
Mountain people working in the mountains, it is inevitable to encounter some skin problems, at this time, viburnum can play a very good role, whether it is in the mountains to mash the external application, or take home to boil water for bathing, for the mountain people are very simple, but also very effective.
But even so, even if the viburnum fruit is delicious and the branches and leaves have the effect of medicine, it still can't stop the mountain people from destroying the viburnum.
Nowadays, as the mountain people are making more and more efforts to open up the wasteland, there are not many viburnums left in the mountains.
Although viburnum does not have strict requirements for climate and soil conditions, they are not long in the mountains. They love sunlight and will selectively grow on the slopes of the same good light, or on the edge of the forest, and by the river.
Because of selective growth, the population will naturally be controlled, and coupled with human destruction, the continuation of viburnum is very worrying. Now this bush of viburnum is the only bush of viburnum that Liu Qingshan has seen in the past two months.
Thinking of this, after Liu Qingshan ate the viburnum, he quickly picked up the woodcutter on the ground and cleaned up the vines and shrubs and other plants next to the viburnum.
I've eaten your fruit, so I'll fix the weeds and bushes around you.
I'm sorry, but that's all I can do now.
If you help the viburnum deal with the competitors, it is estimated that this clump of viburnum will grow a little better.
However, the terrain where the viburnum grows is slightly steep and care must be taken.
Liu Qingshan brandished a woodcutter and cleaned up the bushes and vines on the side of the road first, and then grabbed the roots of the viburnum and walked down little by little.
Once you've found a place to stay, you'll start attacking competitors on both sides and underside of the viburnum.
Most of these competitors are shrub vines that are common in the mountains, so cutting them down will not pose any threat to the continuation of their race. However, if this clump of viburnum competition fails, it is estimated that it will be difficult to see viburnum in the mountains in the future.
Just as Liu Qingshan was struggling to chop down the bushes around him, several aunts in the village came out of the mountain and happened to be walking on this mountain road.
Several people saw that Liu Qingshan was working on the steep slope outside the mountain road, and they were all a little puzzled.
"Aoyama, what are you doing here?" asked an aunt.
Liu Qingshan grabbed a shrub, straightened his waist, raised his head, and grinned: "It's nothing, I just want to cut down these wild trees." ”
"What are you cutting these wild trees for?" asked another aunt.
Liu Qingshan scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I just want to cut down all these wild trees, so that this sour mengzi can grow better." ”
Mengzi is the common name for viburnum in the local area.
Because viburnum has a sweet and sour taste, people who can't stand it can't help but squint their eyes when they eat it, hence the name Sour Mengzi.
Hearing that Liu Qingshan actually cared about the life or death of a sour Mengzi, several aunts laughed.
It's not that Liu Qingshan is innocent and cute, but that he is funny.
For the older generation, all the futile work that has nothing to do with livelihood is something that can only be done by the brain in water.
This is the case for a person to build a new mountain road, and it is also the same for a sour Mengzi tree that cannot bring any income to the family.
Only a fool would do such a thing.
Of course, a few women would definitely not say anything in front of Liu Qingshan.
After walking a long way, a few people laughed and talked about it.
"Are you saying Aoyama is stupid?"
"I think it's a bit silly, otherwise, I wouldn't care about a sour mengzi. ”
"Yes, it's not good to have that strength to do something? He was actually worried that the sour Mengzi would not grow well, there was really something wrong. ”
"Yes, such a big person, if you don't do anything, you know that you can do these unreasonable things, no wonder you are in your twenties and have no object. ”
"Hehe, just like him, it is estimated that he can only fight singles in this life. ”
"If he had a normal brain, he wouldn't do things with Tan Dasha. ”
"Yes, yes, I want to say that, too. ”
"I don't think he has as much of a fool as Tan Dadu. Tan Dasha knows what to do to make money, he is good, first spent a lot of effort to build a mountain road, and now he actually helps Sour Mengzi to repair the roots, I think he is very sick with a brain. ”
"If my son did these things, I would have scolded him for being a bloody dog. ”
"Who says it's not, they're all in their twenties, and they're not three-year-olds, and they're always doing these messy things, and if my son is like this, I won't scold him, I'll just lock him out and not let him in. ”
The mountain road is located on the hill behind Liu Qingshan's house, next to the house, less than ten meters away from the dark roof.
Therefore, all the words that these women said along the way were listened to by Wu Cuimei, who was working in the yard.
Qingshan is helping Mengzi to repair the roots?
She frowned, looked in the direction of the valley, looked for a moment, and then turned to look at the talking and laughing women at the back of the house.
Several women didn't notice anything, and were still talking about Liu Qingshan.
Wu Cuimei didn't speak, put down the bamboo broom and walked into the house.
She was either unhappy or angry, but she felt that the voices of these women who were always gossiping behind other people's backs were really harsh, so she didn't bother to listen to them, so as not to affect her mentality.
As for what his son does, that is his son's freedom, as long as it is not a hurtful thing, what does he do so much?
Besides, Qingshan is in his twenties, and he is already an adult, if he is still disciplined like a child, and he is in charge of what he can and can't do all day long, what is the difference between him and raising pigs?
Do you really have to wait until the time is right, and you have to help him find a sow, press him with both hands, and let him mate with the sow?
As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, as long as parents discipline their children to prevent them from doing anything harmful, it is already very good, as for their future tense to eat or drink porridge, whether they are Jackie Chan or Snake, that is their own creation.
She will not be like Mrs. Tan, who is seventy or eighty years old and still ties her son to the belt of her pants and disciplines her.
Moreover, Qingshan is not a big fool, a big fool really needs the help of the old man, but that kid in Qingshan is a good person, why do you need her to discipline her?
When people grow up, it is counterproductive to manage too much.
Plants are different.
Whether it is a fir or a pine tree in the mountains, it is better to give them the roots every year to make them more conducive to their growth.
The same is true for viburnums.
