Chapter 462: Toon Leaf
Li Qingyun went to his mother-in-law's house today, so he naturally had to show himself well, and after talking about business with his grandfather, he was ready to help them herd cattle. Speaking of herding cattle, these cows, who have been kept in captivity since childhood, have a good temper, as long as they are given food and drink, they basically will not cause trouble.
Leading a leading cow, the four cows behind naturally followed, on the slope of the river, there are a lot of cows love to eat grass, no matter how it tastes, it is better than hay, at least they are not picky, eat extremely happy. They don't have to do anything else, they don't eat without looking up, and the cattle herders don't have to worry about it at all.
At this time, Li Qingyun received a call from Gu Zhaoji, and the content of the call was very simple. Sue Li Qingyun, now Ding Hengzhi has no helper by his side, and he has become a loner. If necessary, it is not impossible for an official eunuch like him to kill, but the modus operandi is more complicated.
Li Qingyun also wanted to be a small farmer quietly, and he didn't want to anger the people in power, and he had also heard some rules in the rivers and lakes, that is, not to provoke people in the officialdom, so as not to be strongly attacked by government departments. Therefore, the second generation of officials like Ding Hengzhi can slap him a few times and kick him a few times, but he can't use spells, because it is a taboo thing.
Li Qingyun felt that if his expectations were not bad, Tao Datan of the Special Management Office would definitely talk to him if he solved the dangerous incident in the deep mountains. What I've been doing for a while has already stepped on the line, and it's a strange thing that I didn't receive a warning from the Anomaly Management Office.
Cousin Chen Sheng and Chen Li heard out of nowhere that they were herding cattle here, and the brothers ran over happily, gave Li Qingyun a cigarette, and said a few kind words, and then they talked about it, and there was no boundary.
"I said two brothers, if you have something to say, you can say it. Don't go around in circles with me, you don't get tired of talking, I'm tired of listening. Li Qingyun didn't smoke, put the cigarette to his ear, patted the grass next to him, and asked them to sit down and talk.
All peers. After the politeness, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. So Chen Li coughed twice, cleared his throat and said, "What's that...... Cousin, we grow mushrooms, and the income is not bad, you let the boss in the city often come to pull goods, and we earn more than others without leaving home. But if you say that if you have a little money in your hand, your heart will be lively. Thinking about everything all day long, just looking for a place to invest. We could double the size of the mushroom shed and invite the idle laborers in the village to help, but at this scale, the bosses in the city couldn't digest it, and we had no other way out. I heard that Chen Jiagou wants to learn from you to open a Zhulou hotel, and even wants to open a fishing center...... This business is not cheaper than others, it is better to cheapen your cousin. So ......"
Li Qingyun came back to his senses. Today, my grandfather and uncle came to talk to me about this, and I didn't understand why they were a little embarrassed. It turns out that there is such a thing. Completely imitating your own business model, this is a bit of a business grab, and you are doing it.
In China, the so-called peers are enemies, not to mention that this is Hedong and Hexi, even if they are cousins. If this business starts, sooner or later there will be conflict.
No wonder the second cousin, who has always been cool, is a little twisted and pinched, and he doesn't dare to look at his eyes when he speaks.
Let's talk about it. Li Qingyun was indeed a little unhappy in his heart. But after thinking about it, who can do the business on the west bank of the river, it is better to give it to others, it is better to cheapen your own brothers.
At the beginning, he intended to contract the land on the west bank of the river for development. asked people to go to Chenjiagou to negotiate a few times, but they were unanimously opposed by the villagers of Chenjiagou, because they saw that the people of Lijiazhai had made a fortune one by one because of the farmhouse project, and they were all anxious. Even if they were afraid of the power of the old village chief Chen Sansi, they also expressed their refusal, saying that if the place was to be developed, it should also be developed by Chen Jiagou's people, and Li Qingyun could no longer be allowed to occupy it, even if he was Chen Sansi's grandson.
Li Qingyun saw that Chen Jiagou's people were too opposed and didn't want to embarrass his grandfather, so the matter was over and ran aground there. After that, the affairs were busy, and until today, I have no time to go to Chenjiagou. Unexpectedly, people have already negotiated a development plan and completely replicated their own successful model.
Li Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "Well, I know, you don't have any psychological burden." If it weren't for some accident in the town, you Chenjiagou would have started the farmhouse project a long time ago, and now you have created it spontaneously, saving Mayor Wu a worry. But let's talk about it first, although we are relatives, business competition is inevitable, and you can't compete with me when the time comes, just don't worry. ”
"How can that be, isn't that ungrateful? Without your help, Fuwa, our brothers and I would not be where we are today. Chen Sheng Chen Li said, suddenly changed his words, pointed to a few cows on the river slope and said, "We heard that Uncle Yang was deceived and bought a few elderly cows, but the other party still refused to admit it, and did not return or exchange." Do you want me to find a few people from the village and make a fuss at the dairy farm in the city and get them some money back?"
"No, it's not a matter of money, don't make a case. In the past two days, my side was not very peaceful, and Li Jiefang and Li Jihua brothers came to make trouble, and were beaten into the hospital by several joint defense team members, and somehow died in the hospital. Now the forensic autopsy report has not yet come out, and several people are still in the detention center, if you make some more trouble, I can't explain it. Li Qingyun refused with a smile, not letting them make a fuss about this.
Besides, these five cows are not as old as they imagined, just now I said the horn wheel, and also looked at the teeth, and found that they are only about four years old, if they are fed some space spirit springs, it is not impossible to restore the milk production state in their heyday.
As for the problem of not having bulls, you can ask the county animal husbandry experts to artificially inseminate the cows. This saves you from feeding a bull and getting into trouble in the barn all day, and also saves on feeding costs.
Seeing that they couldn't help much, the two brothers felt quite puzzled, and seemed to be still thinking about copying Li Qingyun's business model.
Not long after they left, Li Qingyun drove the cow back. Perhaps they had not eaten fresh grass for a long time, and were not very happy to leave, so they walked north along the riverbank, and at the corner there were two small toon trees, the main trunk was arm thick, but the branches were not many, only a little red young leaves, which appeared bare.
"Hey, there's a toon tree here, that's a coincidence. Li Qingyun was very happy, so he went down the river slope and tiptoed to break the toon buds on the tree. It is said that it is a young shoot, but in fact, most of them are old, and only the newly emerging branches and buds are still fresh.
There are many ways to eat toon sprouts, which can be served cold, stir-fried, made into soup, pickled...... The habit of Chinese people to eat toon has spread all over the north and south of the river since the Han Dynasty, which is not only nutritious, delicious in taste, but also has a good therapeutic effect.
Ancient Chinese medicine believed that toon could treat external cold, rheumatism, stomach pain, dysentery, parasites and other diseases, while modern medicine has taken it a step further and believed that toon contains calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and other ingredients. It has the functions of replenishing deficiency and aphrodisiac and strengthening essence, nourishing the kidney, nourishing hair and hair, reducing inflammation, stopping bleeding and relieving pain, and regulating qi and blood and strengthening the stomach. Those with kidney yang deficiency, cold pain in the waist and knees, impotence of sperm, and hair loss should eat it.
From some foreign research data, it can be seen that toon contains vitamin E and sex hormone substances, which has anti-aging and yang and yin nourishing effects, and has a certain effect on infertility, so it has the reputation of "progestation". Li Qingyun felt that no one hyped these effects, and if the hype was successful, maybe it would become a second Maya, or okra.
Toon is a seasonal tree-bearing dish that is generally picked around the time of the rains. The climate of Qinglong Town is not more than a few days later than most areas, and most of the toons at this time are too old to eat. These two small trees, in the shade at the corner of the river slope, often do not get sunlight, so they germinate later, so that Li Qingyun is fortunate to get a lot of fresh shoots.
Li Qingyun picked a large handful of buds, put them in front of his nose and smelled them, the familiar fragrance made him intoxicated, and his saliva was about to come out. Go back and wash it with water, mix it with tofu, add a little salt, drizzle some balsamic vinegar and sesame oil, and it is a delicious side dish. In the past, I didn't eat less tofu and toon, but later the village responded to the call of the town government and let me cut down the miscellaneous trees and plant all the fruit trees.
Outcome...... The fruit can not be sold, the original small tree species are almost extinct in the village, some of the originally very common toon, mulberry, fir tree, locust tree, Chu tree, etc., are all broken in the village, if you want to find it, you must go to the ravine outside the village.
He smelled it a few times, and the volatile aromatic odors such as toon contained in the toon can strengthen the spleen and increase appetite. Moreover, the volatile odor of toon can penetrate the epidermis of roundworms, so that roundworms cannot attach to the intestinal wall and are excreted from the body, which can be used to treat ascariasis. It is rich in vitamin C, carotene, etc., which helps to enhance the body's immune function, and has the effect of lubricating the skin, as well as beauty and health care.
If the toon tree in the village is not cut down, it has already become a precious resource in the village, and the tourists from the city are rare to this thing, I heard that when the year is good, a pound of toon can be sold for seventy or eighty yuan, and when the year is bad, it can be sold for forty or fifty yuan a catty.
Common in the vicinity is the red toon, known as the red toon, which is not of very good quality. There is also a kind of purple-black leaves, called purple oil tsubaki or black oil toon, which is the middle and upper grade of tsubaki, and the taste is better.
"Husband, what are you stealing to eat?" Yang Yunu didn't know when he came to find him, and he was probably looking for him to go back to eat. Seeing Li Qingyun sniffing the smell of toons, he immediately joked on the shore.
"Good thing, look, what did I find?" Li Qingyun shook a handful of red toon buds in his hand as if offering a treasure.
"Isn't this a toon leaf? I haven't seen it for two years, and I can't imagine that there are two more in this depression. Hurry back and maybe go with two dishes. I like to eat toon omelet with a little shredded red pepper and drool just thinking about it. Yang Yunu looked like a greedy cat, urging Li Qingyun to go back and quickly turn the toon leaves into edible dishes.
The practice of toon eggs is very simple, it is also a kind of dish that the locals often fry with toon, cut the toon sprouts into foam, beat three or four eggs, stir together, add a little salt, pour into the hot oil pan and stir-fry, after frying, the color is golden, it is cake-shaped, when eating, poke a corner with chopsticks, the egg fragrance is mixed with the fresh and tender toon buds, put it in the mouth and chew, how beautiful it is.
