Chapter 281: Mitian Rouge Rice (II)
γThe resident rice at the host store is prepared with the finest Ota rouge rice. γ
Bai Xiaobai was brushing his teeth, and when he heard this electronic sound, the whole person was suddenly shocked.
The rice is served with Ota rouge rice!
It's too high-end, isn't it?
North Xiangshui and South Yuantian are just two famous rice, but in terms of preciousness and compulsion, these two kinds of rice are far inferior to Yutian rouge rice.
When it comes to rouge rice, many people's first reaction is ordinary red rice.
However, Ota rouge rice is not red rice, it is a unique type of rice.
Because it is produced in Yutian County, Bac Ha Province, it was originally called Yutian Rouge Rice.
This kind of rice is extremely harsh on the growing environment, and it cannot be grown in ordinary fields at all, and can only be grown in a few acres of excellent fertile and fertile fields under Xiaoquan Mountain in Yutian County, Bac Ha Province.
The land is located in the north slope of Xiangyang, which is blessed with unique geographical environment and climatic conditions, and there have been many mountain springs and mineral water flowing out from the sand and stone cracks at the foot of the mountain, especially the sweet spring of the Jade Dragon Cave.
Due to the fertile land, the spring water has been flowing continuously all year round, and since the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, rice cultivation here has never stopped.
In the Qing Dynasty, these acres of fertile land under Xiaoquan Mountain were called 'imperial fields' by Emperor Qianlong's imperial pen circle.
Since then, the rouge rice and japonica rice produced here are both tribute rice and tribute to the Qing Dynasty court, so Yutian rouge rice is also called 'Yutian rouge rice' by later generations of literati.
This kind of rice was used as a tribute in the early days, and unless the emperor or the extremely wealthy could taste it occasionally, ordinary people could not eat it at all.
Although Bai Xiaobai had never eaten this kind of rice, he first heard about this kind of rice when he was reading "Dream of Red Mansions" in high school.
Jiafu, one of the four major families in the Dream of Red Mansions, has a description of "Yutian rouge rice and two stones" on the red post of the village's owner Wu Jinxiao's tribute.
Even a top old lady like Jia Mu is reluctant to drink this kind of porridge made of rice, and she is reluctant to drink it all at once, and the remaining half bowl is also distributed to Sister Feng (Wang Xifeng) to try it, which shows the preciousness of this rice.
Bai Xiaobai knew that the system was too high, but he never expected that the rice served in the store would actually use this kind of rice.
In Bai Xiaobai's mind, this Yutian rouge rice cliff is worthy of the reputation of 'the first rice in China'.
Even Thai jasmine rice, a major rice producer, cannot be compared to it.
However, Bai Xiaobai has a big doubt about this rice.
"System, are you providing real Ota rouge rice? I remember that this real rice seed has long been completely extinct. Bai Xiaobai asked a very unscrupulous question.
In fact, it's not that he can't trust the system, or that he has no basis and speculation.
He has a real basis, in the local history book "Fengnan County Chronicles" of Fengnan County in Bac Rivers Province, there is a clear record on it: rouge rice has been completely extinct in the early 70s of the last century, in the XX turbulent period.
There is no purebred rouge rice in the world.
The varieties of rouge rice sold on the market now, such as the well-known Kangxi rouge rice and Yutian rouge rice, are not real Yutian rouge rice, and they are all cultivated by cross-selection with other rice.
Therefore, the leaders of the Great Hall of the People are specially supplied with Xiangshui rice from 'North Xiangshui', and there is no rouge rice made from hybridization.
Faced with Bai Xiaobai's confusion, the electronic tone of the system soon sounded:
[As the host said, the real Ota rouge rice is indeed extinct in Huaxia, but what the system provides is the real Ota rouge rice. γ
When Bai Xiaobai heard this electronic sound, he wondered in his heart about the origin of this rice and how the system obtained it.
The system seems to have read Bai Xiaobai's thoughts, and can start answering questions in the present word, and make a thorough introduction to the supply of rice this time:
Serving Rice: The system is prepared with the finest Ota rouge rice.
This rice variety, the plant height is early, the ears are red, like red sorghum, after taking off the thin rice husk like cicada wings, the color is like rouge, and it has a refreshing rice fragrance. It has existed as early as the time when Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, but it has always existed in a wild form.
It was not until thousands of years later in the Northern Song Dynasty that it was excavated and officially planted.
This rice seed is very squeamish and has extremely high environmental requirements.
First of all, the concentration of negative oxygen ions in the air must reach more than 36,000 per cubic centimeter.
Secondly, the soil must be rich in humus and must not contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, etc.
The irrigated water can not contain nutrient phosphorus elements, each has organic and inorganic chemical mixtures, if the sky falls acid rain, the particles will not be harvested.
In addition, the paddy is also affected by temperature, precipitation, sunshine hours, and more.
In any area where the air is polluted, the water is polluted, the soil is polluted, and even if the rice is planted, it will not be able to set ears.
After the establishment of the New China Kingdom, with the development of various industrialization, all kinds of pollution also accumulated in the countryside.
Therefore, in the early seventies of the last century, the yield of Okita cochineal rice became lower and lower, and then it could not be harvested normally, and even scientific means could not save it, and finally it was completely extinct.
The system's own areas have fertile land with a special environment, which is conducive to the growth of Otian annatto.
After harvesting, this rice is threshed, dried, and hulled, and then systematically screened layer by layer, and the grains are selected to remove broken rice to obtain the top quality of Ota rouge rice.
The rice cooked with this kind of rice is red and bright in color, fragrant and fragrant, delicate and soft in taste, and has an endless aftertaste. It is especially rich in various amino acids, proteins, and minerals, and is an excellent rice for harmonizing the five internal organs and nourishing qi and blood.
After Bai Xiaobai read the current words of the system, he was amazed at the high quality of the system, and at the same time, he had another doubt in his heart.
At present, the ingredients provided by the system are mainly divided into three major sources.
Some of the ingredients are produced from real place names in Huaxia, such as from various provinces and regions, which currently account for the majority.
Some of the ingredients come from foreign regions, such as rice jasmine rice, which is a kind of rice jasmine rice in the special lotus leaf lean porridge, which comes from Thailand.
As for the remainder, it comes from the system's own region.
For example, the lotus leaves in the previous Yipin lotus fragrant glutinous rice chicken, and the seaweed in the fresh meat and small wontons before, are also from their own golden coastline.
The current Ota rouge rice is too.
Generally, it is an ingredient with high environmental requirements, which cannot be planted in Huaxia and will be planted in its own area.
These own regions have the best growing conditions for a variety of ingredients.
Bai Xiaobai has always been interested in the system and is very fascinated.
I don't know where the system's own area is?
It can't be in another parallel space, right?
Bai Xiaobai asked the question in his heart, and the cold electronic speaker started:
[The host is currently at a low level and cannot unlock the system's own region for the time being.] When the host level is raised to Dacheng or above, it can be officially unlocked, and you can officially enter the system's own area to watch the growth environment of various ingredients. γ
The free area is equivalent to a farm farm in the system that produces all kinds of ingredients, but it is so mysterious.
You must have a level or higher to unlock it.
This really made Bai Xiaobai very depressed.
At present, his level is Xiaocheng, and the next level is Dacheng.
This level of Dacheng or above seems to be very close, but this upgrade must require a lot of experience.
According to the current turtle speed upgrade speed, I don't know if it is suitable to unlock.
Bai Xiaobai was silently thinking about the upgrade in his heart, and at the same time casually asked the system, "System, is the Ota Rouge Rice ready, I want to go to the glass kitchen to take a look." β
