247. Quinoa
After Chen Daren came back, he went to the kitchen to work, their family usually Luo Qiulian cooks, but if there are guests here, they will be replaced by Chen Daren to cook, his cooking skills are better, but he is too tired to work at work, and he is too lazy to cook after work.
Luo Qiulian gave him a hand, and Jin *** ran forward and back with a broom tail.
After packing up some shrimp, Chen Daren rolled up the plastic bag and shouted, "Son, come and throw away this bag." ”
Chen Song put down the teacup and said, "Okay." ”
"It's not calling you. ”
The big golden retriever had already run over, Chen Daren handed it the garbage bag, it ran to the garbage can with the bag in its mouth, threw it in, and ran back again.
Chen Song felt very uncomfortable, and said, "Mom, you call this dog out, be careful of tripping over it." ”
Luo Qiulian said without raising her head: "It's okay, my son has eyesight, it will avoid people, and it will help, you see." ”
She pinched a few rotten leaves and threw them on the ground, and the big golden retriever picked them up one by one and put them in the trash.
In this way, the big golden retriever will help throw out the garbage before and after running, of course, more often it will get some cooked food, such as Chen Daren found a piece of fragrant fat meat and handed it to it when he cut the pig's head, for example, Luo Qiulian would cut a piece of ham for it to enjoy.
Chen Song knew why this dog was so fat even though he was a stray dog, and could he be fat with his father? You must know that his father and mother used to be a pig breeder in the commune.
Looking at the busy kitchen, he couldn't get his hands in, so he had to mumble 'I'm going to have tea' and turned away.
When he sat down, Lu Dapeng swallowed melon seeds and said, "Brother, what staple food do we eat at night?"
Chen Song said angrily: "Eat, eat, what is the staple food for some dishes?"
Lu Dapeng said aggrievedly: "Brother, why are you doing this to me? I don't want to eat, but I said that if there is no suitable staple food, I will go get something suitable." ”
"What?"
Lu Dapeng perked up and said, "Didn't you ask me to look for some varieties of grain crops that are relatively old? The current rice, wheat, corn, and the like are all newly cultivated varieties that do not meet your requirements......
"Straight to the point, baby. ”
Lu Dapeng smiled and said, "Quinoa, have you heard of it?"
Chen Song said: "Of course, quinoa, one of the five grains, is indeed a good thing. ”
Lu Dapeng pouted and said: "If you don't understand, don't pretend to be big, the five grains are rice, millet, millet, wheat, and soybean, there is no quinoa, this quinoa is not a crop in our Chinese land, it was born in the Andes Mountains of South America, and it is the ration of the Incas, you finally know the Incas, right?"
"Yes, I know. ”
Lu Dapeng looked at him suspiciously.
Chen Song sighed and said, "I really know, the ancient Inca country, the Raiders of the Lost Ark." ”
Lu Dapeng exaggerated a thigh and said, "It seems that you do know." ”
Chen Song said helplessly: "In your eyes, am I the kind of person who likes to pretend to understand?"
"Didn't you just do that?" Lu Dapeng asked rhetorically.
Chen Song couldn't stand the wrongs of others, he said depressedly: "I've really heard of this quinoa, it's not that I don't know how to pretend to understand, you stupid bird." ”
Zhang Zhiduo, who had been silent, opened his mouth and said: "You should have heard of the crop quinoa, which is what we call gray cabbage, because it is often the ration of the common people during the famine, so it is sometimes classified as food. ”
He introduced to the two of them, there is a poem called 'The rain is empty and the forest is late, and the steamed quinoa cooks the east mushroom', and the quinoa in it is the gray gray cabbage.
"Back in the days when my Red Army predecessors were on the Long March, this gray cabbage saved the lives of many people, as early as the Zhou Dynasty Confucius was trapped in the Chencai area and had no food, and almost starved to death, but he also survived by this thing, that was the first official introduction of quinoa. ”
Listening to Zhang Zhiduo's words, Chen Song and the others were stunned.
Lu Dapeng looked at him almost with admiration and said, "Squad leader, you are a great writer." ”
Zhang Zhiduo was not used to this kind of treatment, he rubbed his pants with his hand uncomfortably and said: "No, I just read some books when I was in the army, which is all said in the book." ”
"There is no road to walk in vain, there is no book to read in vain, what Lu Xun said is extremely true. Chen Song praised.
Lu Dapeng said: "Yes, it's a good thing to read more books. ”
Zhang Zhiduo smiled bitterly: "I haven't read many books, the reason why quinoa is introduced in our army's book is mainly because this crop is resistant to salt and alkali and is particularly viable. The more difficult the conditions, the better they will grow, just like the revolutionary comrades of our Party. ”
Lu Dapeng said happily: "In this way, no wonder the party members here have not grown into good birds, the conditions are too good." Then the Party Central Committee should send them to the northwest, where the conditions are more difficult and they can do better, right?"
The topic was crooked, Zhang Zhiduo panicked: "Don't talk about this, don't talk about this, didn't we just talk about eating?"
Lu Dapeng patted his forehead and said: "Yes, that's right, it's like this, that is, when I bought wild rice, I came across quinoa, and the price of this thing is also high, more than 100 catties imported from abroad, more than 50 catties of good ones in China, and more than 20 catties of bad ones, I think it may meet your needs, so I bought some." ”
Chen Song's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, then I'll take a look tomorrow." ”
Zhang Zhiduo asked curiously, "Lao Chen, why do you want all this food?"
Chen Song said: "Iceland now attaches great importance to agriculture and animal husbandry, and some people want to grow this. ”
Zhang Zhiduo nodded and said: "I don't know about quinoa, if they want to grow quinoa, it is indeed feasible, cold-tolerant, drought-tolerant and salinity-alkaline, especially easy to live." ”
Listening to his introduction, Chen Song suddenly thought of the barren land in Jiuzhou.
The land of Jiuzhou seems to be saline-alkali land, maybe it can also be planted?
He said: "Squad leader, so that you start work tomorrow, go get some quinoa seeds first, and I'll bring them back to show them, maybe there are also ones you want to plant." ”
Zhang Zhiduo said: "Okay, but I need to give my opinion, is that okay?"
Chen Song said: "We still need to be polite between us? ”
Zhang Zhiduo straightened his posture, straightened his waist and said: "That, cough cough, Mr. Chen ......"
"It's just my old Chen, haha, what Mr. Chen?" Chen Song interrupted him and laughed.
Zhang Zhiduo said seriously: "That's not good, work is work, life is life, and it can't be mixed up." ”
Chen Song knew that he had an old-fashioned temperament, and if he argued with him, it would be a debate match, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, listen to you, I am Mr. Chen, you are Mr. Zhang, Director Zhang." ”
"Then I'm not Mr. Lu?" Lu Dapeng said happily.
Chen Song glanced at him: "What are you happy about? There is no soldier under your hand, what is the use of being President Lu?"
Lu Dapeng muttered: "That's different, I'm also a boss." ”
