356 Purple Jade Sugar Maple
Sugar maple valley is actually a long and narrow valley, in the center of the valley there is a small stream tinkling, the meandering stream is divided into several ways, hitting the rock wall, slamming the crystal splash, but also moistens the whole valley, not only the sugar maple, the pentagonal maple, the chicken paw maple, the American red maple, the green maple, the triangular maple, the compound leaf maple, etc., the ups and downs are scattered, the density is appropriate, almost more than 200 kinds of maple trees in the world can be found, it is a veritable maple valley.
Steven and Joseph followed behind Zeng Gong, leaving the crowd of maple sugar collectors far behind, and continued deep into the hinterland of the sugar maple valley, the stream at their feet rattled, and the cheerful cries of unknown birds and birds came from the canopy overhead, bringing a bit of excitement to the deep valley.
"Yes, it was a beautiful place, and it would be a great pleasure to build a few cabins in the valley and stay for a while once in a while. Steven felt that with the sound of the spring water, the whole person's soul was washed, and he felt extremely ironed, and the refreshment of his body couldn't help but shout.
"Of course, not only here, but the entire Qinglian Ranch is beautiful, and it is unique in the world. Zeng Gong accepted Steven's praise as expected, and Qinglian Ranch was his pride.
Joseph followed at the end, pouting secretly, as a senior purchaser, he has also gone deep into the pastures and farms in the United States, Canada and even Australia, where he will always feel the pride of the ranchers from the bones, in their minds their ranches will always be the most beautiful and the best, it seems that Zeng Gong, as a new rancher, has also been infected by this pride that goes deep into the bone marrow.
To Joseph's surprise, Steven also chimed in: "That's right, Qinglian Ranch is the most beautiful ranch I have seen, and every time I come here, I always feel a little shallow. Moreover, Qinglian Ranch can always show its beauty in a variety of ways, and constantly leave people with beautiful reverie. โ
Zeng Gong gave Steven a thumbs up. Qinglian Ranch is always shrouded in a veil of mystery, even if he himself has lived in Qinglian Ranch for a few months, he does not dare to say that he fully understands this mysterious land.
"Huh. Steven smiled. The reason why he came to Qinglian Ranch again is not only because it is very important as a source of top ingredients, but also because Qinglian Ranch can relax his mind and body, the blackberry ranch at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountains is beautiful, and the Gurani Ranch in Hawaii is full of exotic atmosphere, but too many commercial factors are full of it, and beauty is beautiful but not really relaxing.
"Steven, you see there's ahead. "At the slight corner of the stream, under the shade of the mottled and colorful maple leaves, the purple is crystal clear under the light of the fine sunlight, like the smoke of the sun. There were tears in the moon pearl, and countless heroic lights fell to the ground one after another, rippling with layers of fine waves of broken gold.
"This, this is..." Steven and Joseph followed Zeng Gong's guidance, and a few purple jade sugar maples stretched their graceful posture and suddenly appeared in front of the two, the visual impact was simply incomparable, and the two of them watched all this blankly.
Is this a sugar maple? Steven kept asking loudly in his heart, this is a work of art, a maple tree carved with purple crystals. Now it is abandoned in the sugar maple valley, swaying with the breeze, bathing in the sun, and baptized in the spring rain. Mixed with ordinary maple trees, it seems to be a pearl of the sea, and the waves continue to wash the beach and finally reveal its true face in front of the world.
"That's what I'm talking about Purple Jade Sugar Maple. According to Lady Mary's examination, it is also a type of sugar maple tree that produces wonderful maple sugar. Steven, what do you think of them, will they produce top-grade maple sugar?" Zeng Gong pointed to the purple jade sugar maple and introduced a little nervously. This is its first production, and even Madame Mary has not tested it, although it is known that they will produce top-quality maple sugar, and it is exciting to see if they will be able to go to the next level.
"Zeng, you said they were sugar maples?" Steven said as he rubbed his eyes in surprise, not realizing that the artwork maple in front of him was actually a sugar maple
"Of course, it's not what a sugar maple tree is, am I still taking you here to find rare maple tree varieties, they are sugar maple trees like a fake, but because of the first time I collected maple sugar, I can't guarantee their quality, how about it. Steven, do you want to?" Zeng Gong looked at Steven strangely, not knowing why he had such a reaction, but when he set off, he said that he would come and look for the strange sweet sugar maple.
Steven didn't answer Zeng Gong immediately, and walked quickly to the front of a purple jade sugar maple, it turned out that this purple jade sugar maple had begun to overflow outward because the maple sugar had gathered too much, he wiped it on the trunk with his fingers, and then licked it in his mouth, a strange sweetness immediately hit his heart, the whole person was stunned, his eyes were a little sloppy, the warm sweetness lingered on the tip of the tongue, long and long, washing the taste organs that had been somewhat numb, this sweetness did not inherit the tradition of maple sugar, but it was definitely a reverberation, and there was a feeling that the aftermath of three days was still aroundใ
"Steven, Steven. Zeng Gong walked into him, called out a few times, and then asked with concern, "How is Steven, how does this maple sugar taste?"
"Whew. Steven exhaled a deep breath and said with some sighs: "This sweetness is so delicious, the aftertaste is lingering, warm and moist like a dignified and well-educated medieval lady, and the charm of pearls makes people inextricably obsessed, but unfortunately there are too few." โ
More than 20 plants are obviously too few, especially the three-star Michelin restaurant rooted in the bustling international metropolis of New York, the daily customer flow is amazing, if this super-first-class maple syrup is promoted, the amount of consumption must be amazing, how can the amount of more than 20 plants satisfy the appetite of those gourmets.
"Well, yes, it's too little. Zeng Gong also dipped his fingers in a little taste, as Steven said, too little, too little, but unfortunately this kind of tree is born from the essence of Zhong Tiandi, and it can't thrive like other sugar maple trees at all, Lady Mary tried to breed last year, but unfortunately failed.
"Isn't there such a maple tree anywhere else? Steven asked a little unwillingly, the more top-quality ingredients are better for him, these twenty or so purple jade sugar maple are far from satisfying his appetite, if the entire sugar maple valley is purple jade sugar maple.
"No, not a single plant, Lady Mary has tried to breed, but unfortunately they have all failed. Zeng Gong shook his head, he also hoped that the entire Sugar Maple Valley would be purple jade sugar maple, obviously this was not a realistic dream, but maple sugar of the same quality might still be found in the pasture.
"It's a pity. Steven couldn't stop beating his chest, and even secretly hated why Zeng Gong brought him here to see the purple jade sugar maple.
"Wait, Steven, although there are no purple jade maple trees in the pasture, there may be this super-first-class maple sugar. Zeng Gong suddenly remembered that there was a line of heaven in front of him, and there was also a strange sugar maple on the other side.
"What are you waiting for, let's go. (To be continued.) )
