Chapter 355 Alder Sunflower April Flower

Wei Wei said: "The swallows that peck at the mud you said are house swallows, house swallows make nests with mud, swiftlets are swifts, and nests are made with saliva and moss. ”

When Li Junge heard this, he asked curiously: "With spit, isn't that the famous tonic bird's nest?"

Wei Wei said: "Yes, bird's nest is made of swifts' salivary gland secretions, but bird's nests are produced on islands, where building materials are scarce, and swifts have to use their own saliva to make nests, unlike the swallows in Lijiagou, which can use a lot of moss." ”

Li Junge smiled: "What do you say as the old saying goes? Save some saliva! Hahaha......"

Wei Wei looked at the dense swallow nests in the cave and sighed: "Fortunately, this is the case, such a nest is inedible, otherwise this cave will not be peaceful." ”

When the raft was built, Li Junge rowed over with a bamboo pole, tied a rope on the water, and then rowed the bamboo raft over, and let everyone go up to the bamboo raft in batches and pull the rope together.

When the bamboo raft passed through the hole, Miao Wa made a discovery, pointed to the water and said, "Teacher Zhang, look!"

Everyone looked into the water, and sure enough, there was a peach blossom fish floating on the water, lying sideways on the water, with its little tail wagging and wagging its little tail, looking half-dead.

Li Junge took off the pot and scooped the peach blossom fish into the pot when the bamboo raft passed by.

The photographer captured the shot.

Coming to the other end of the cave, after everyone went ashore, Li Junge put the pot on the ground, and everyone gathered around to watch.

The peach blossom fish was trying hard to correct itself, and the range of movements became larger and larger, and finally it came to life completely, sinking to the bottom of the pot and crashing inside.

Li Junge waited for the photographer to finish shooting, and said: "This fish has a very strong temperament, you have to let it go quickly, otherwise it will really die in a while." ”

Seeing Li Junge release the fish, Teacher Zhang was really a little scared and said, "This ...... Is this water really poisonous?"

"Don't be nervous, the villagers have been living by Dushui Creek for thousands of years and have never heard of poisoning," said Professor Ding. And this fish can still be eaten, even if there is toxin, its content has no effect on the human body, so there is no need to be afraid. ”

Professor Li said: "It's okay, we brought inspection equipment this time, Zhaowa, check the water quality and see if there are any problems." ”

Lin Zhao took out the portable inspection instrument from his backpack, checked it and said, "No problem, the water quality is quite good, and the organic matter is much less than the one collected in the swallow cave just now, and it all meets the drinking water standard." ”

Professor Ding said: "This is easy to understand, there are tens of thousands of swallows in the swallow cave, and they excrete so much feces into the water every day, and it is strange that there is not much organic matter there. ”

The group continued to walk up the mountain stream, and as they passed the alder forest, the agricultural trio began to check the growth of the forest.

Professor Li grabbed a handful of humus, pinched it vigorously, dripped a drop or two of water in his palm, and said: "The harsh requirements for temperature and humidity are a big obstacle to the growth of Alder, this thing takes too long to develop from spores to gametophyte embryos, it takes more than a year, and the inappropriate temperature and humidity during this period will lead to the death of Alder spinosa seedlings, but if the environment is suitable, through spore tissue culture technology, it can actually be multiplied in large quantities." ”

Li Junge was dumbfounded: "Wait...... Professor Li, why does this sound like it's going to hit me?"

Professor Ding laughed: "Isn't it just your idea! This thing does not have a high demand for fertilizer, and there are no pests and diseases, as long as it is allowed to spend the embryonic development period in a suitable environment, it can be widely planted in Lijiagou, this can't do anything to you, and it can protect rare plants, why not?"

Li Junge said: "Professor Ding, do you see that I still have idlers in Lijiagou?

Professor Li said: "In this way, it is really not good to let the villagers contribute, let's go and appeal to the province to see how much money can be won down, how much money can be done and how much big things can be done, Piwa is always okay like this, right?"

Li Junge smiled embarrassedly: "Professor Li, it's really not about money, otherwise, let's not make it big first, let Uncle Wangcai try it in Lanchang first, if it can be successful, we will include it in next year's plan, will it?"

Professor Ding said: "It seems that this can only be done first, but Piwa, this thing is not a loss, it is a highly valuable horticultural ornamental plant, and it is also a medicinal material, and it is also the best carrier for cultivating epiphytes such as dendrobium orchid, which has high economic value." ”

When it came to this, Li Junge could only nod his head in agreement, fortunately, there was no cost to this thing, the equipment and materials were ready-made, and the spores could be collected in this forest when they were mature, and when they were transplanted in a large area, it would already be a few years later.

There is still a lot of time delayed here, mainly because the trio of the Agricultural University found a lot of understory seedlings, a tree covers an area of five square meters, these understory seedlings are not treated, they will soon die due to lack of sunlight and other plants after taking away the growth space, so we transplanted these understory seedlings, and when the work is done, it is already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

So the only way to hurry up was to rush to Merlin and camp there.

Eat only to make do, fortunately there are a lot of wild vegetables along the road, don't mention bracken, when passing by a bush, Uncle Yakushi also picked some thick poles, with fluffy leaves of low plants.

Wei Wei, who was from the north, had never seen much of this, and asked, "Uncle Yaoshi, what kind of wild vegetable is this?"

Uncle Pharmacist said: "It's really hard to say whether this is a wild vegetable or a household vegetable, just like the bloody cabbage, we are also growing it in the field, and we can encounter it from time to time in the wild." ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "This dish is actually only you should be very familiar with, but even if you memorize it in the book, I don't know if it's it, this dish we call winter cold vegetables, the scientific name is sunflower vegetables, in the era when there was no cabbage, it is the main vegetable of the Chinese, there can be three harvests a year, the one planted in June is called 'summer sunflower', the one planted in September is called 'okra', and the one planted in the first month is called 'winter sunflower'." The status is similar to that of the current Chinese cabbage. ”

Wei Wei was surprised: "It's so powerful?"

Li Junge said: "That is, the earliest "Zhou Li", "Zuo Chuan", to "Book of Songs", "Yuefu", and then to Tang and Song poems, there are so many that you don't want them." ”

Wei Wei said, "Really, why don't I know at all?"

Li Junge laughed: "'Aoi in Qingqing Garden, wait for the sun. In "The Tenth Five-Year Military Campaign", it is said that "Inoue Shenglu Kwai is lived", and then "Picking Kwai and Holding Soup"; in Bai Juyi's "Cooking Kwai ", "What is the poor kitchen, cooking rice and cooking okra." That's all it says. ”

Wei Wei opened his mouth widely: "When our teacher told us about 'Qingqing Garden in the sunflower', it was accompanied by a picture of a sunflower. ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "There's no way, wrong teaching and wrong learning, but now that the level of teachers is high, I shouldn't make this kind of mistake again, right?"

Uncle Yao Shi shook his head: "It's hard to say, this thing is said in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", 'Today people will not eat it again, and there will be no seeders.'" 'I guess we're still familiar with the southwest area. ”

Wei Wei took some pictures with his mobile phone and sent them to WeChat, saying: "This has to be popularized for everyone, hahaha, don't memorize that poem as a sunflower anymore." ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "Don't say that sunflower vegetables and sunflowers really have similar characteristics, the so-called 'tilting leaves to the sun, in order to cover their roots.'" Later generations used 'sunflower weed to the sun' to show loyalty to the monarch, but it refers to the leaves rather than the flowers, which is why modern people tend to mistake sunflowers and sunflowers. ”

Teacher Zhang smiled and said: "Erpi, you should really add these to the wild vegetable identification signs in those valleys, the ancient names of various wild vegetables, record their poems, and the stories that happened to them, I think it's very interesting!"

The trio of Agricultural University also nodded their heads, saying that Mr. Zhang's idea was good, and when people brought their children to Lijiagou to pick wild vegetables in the future, they could also increase their knowledge.

Of course, Li Junge is as good as a stream, and he promised to do it when he goes back.

When they arrived in Merlin, Uncle Medicine and Miao Wa found some small fungus-like things on a few large stones.

This is the stone fungus, which is much more difficult than the fungus.

Uncle Pharmacist said: "Good thing, stewed chicken is the best, nourishing yin and moisturizing the lungs, clearing heat and cooling blood, but tonight I can only mix bracken." ”

Li Junge said: "This thing is exquisite, it won't taste good if it doesn't go with ginger, so I'll make a ginger stone fungus mixed with bracken later." ”

When it was time to camp, Li Junge boiled a big pot of bacon porridge with winter vegetables, and then got a ginger and stone fungus mixed with bracken, and everyone dealt with it like this.

The turquoise sunflower porridge looked pleasing to people, drinking fragrantly, Wei Wei said: "This sunflower porridge is very delicious, and it seems that the porridge has become slippery." ”

Uncle Yao Shi said: "Wei Wei is really right, the ancients discovered early on that its mucus can increase the lubrication of soup porridge, and the ancient Taoists had to eat sunflower once every ten days to reconcile the five insides. ”

Professor Ding smiled with Professor Li: "Then you can drink two more bowls, maybe you will be able to ascend." ”

After dinner, it was still early, and everyone walked in the forest again, the leaves of the plum tree in the plum forest had already grown, and the treetops were followed by plums the size of little fingertips, which were very fluffy and cute.

Uncle Pharmacist smiled: "Come early, the plum will be titi, otherwise Wei Wei will have another mouthful." ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "When you enter the mountain in April, are you afraid that you won't be able to eat the fruit?" ”

Now it was getting late and it was getting late, and they were idle anyway, so they wandered along the valley, and in a short time they came to a sunny slope.

Here you saw a plant, densely packed in a large clump, covering an area of two meters square, with thin branches, many fine thorns on it, and small serrations on the edges of the leaves, which were covered with small red berries.

Li Junge said: "Look, this one is ripe, and it is enough for all our people to eat." ”

Everyone began to pick the fruit with a smile, and Mr. Zhang asked while picking it, "Piwa, what is this?"
