Chapter 236: Stevia
After Zhang Tao had breakfast, several people drove to Zhang Limei's house together, and this time Zhang Yan rarely went with him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After entering junior high school, Zhang Tao and the others only went home once a month, and she also had her own friends. So on the weekends, I went to her classmates to play, and it was more interesting for people of the same age to play together.
Zhang Limei's house is now more and more prosperous, driving all the way over, there are many more vehicles on the road. The surrounding villages have also followed in the footsteps of Huangpu Village, and all new houses have been built.
There is no malignant tumor that has been occupied by people and eats alone, and the town has paid for a major renovation here, and the hot spring tourist area has brought too many benefits to several surrounding villages.
The original Guanyin Mountain and Temple, as well as the natural cave, are also lively, and many people come here every year to play. The big-eared rats in the cave have also become famous, and many people will come to see this strange mouse.
Especially in autumn and winter, there are more people who come to the hot springs. Every bus to this side is full of people, and there have been a lot more private cars in recent years.
Zhang Tao has to come to wash this hot spring several times a year, and for him, it is no different from ordinary swimming. So he doesn't have much passion, he just brings the two new guys to play together.
"I've been to this place a few times, let's go clubbing in the mixed area, it's better there." The fat man proposed to Zhang Tao with a veteran look.
Zhang Tao originally wanted to get a VIP room with Cao Fatzi to soak alone, but he didn't expect the fat man to refuse directly, and several girls had already followed Zhang Limei to find another place to soak.
With the boldness of our leadership, we will be a little bolder and more open. The people of the whole country are indeed becoming more and more bold and open-minded, and the most obvious place is that there are more and more women in the mixed areas here.
Wearing various styles of swimsuits, I don't care at all that too much of what is exposed on my body is seen by other men. For Cao Fatzi, who has been here a few times, he is very familiar with these.
And although the VIP room is high-end, what's the point of just two men lying in it? If it weren't for the fact that Cao Fatzi didn't know about picking up soap, it is estimated that he would definitely want to go in that direction.
Well, it seems that every adolescent likes to look at the female body and is particularly curious about that aspect. In fact, men are all good, there is no difference between adolescence at all, and even old men can't avoid it.
Zhang Tao did not ridicule the behavior of the fat man, which is one of the characteristics of men, and he used to be such a person. It's just that there are no beautiful women here now, so he doesn't have much interest, which can only show that his vision is a little higher.
If it was a hot spring over there in the film and television base, Zhang Tao would have run away with the fat man a long time ago, and there are often female stars there. However, he can't enter the hot springs over there, and when people make movies and TV series, they all fence it off, and outsiders are strictly forbidden to enter and exit.
So Zhang Tao actually didn't go in and see it a few times. Zhang Tao didn't have much time to go to see female stars, if he really wanted to see it, he would go in and watch it at any time.
This year, the film and television base plus the blockbuster that has just been released for a short time has already received the filming of more than a dozen movies and TV series, which has also brought a lot of benefits to the side.
It's just that for the town, it's still in deficit, but the amount of loss is getting smaller and smaller. Because the film and television base is free and open to all crews, and other accessory charging projects do not earn much from this.
The real big money can only be made when this place becomes more and more influential in the country, and only by those who come to visit can they make money, and that is when they really make a big profit.
And the reputation of this year's blockbuster with a huge investment is much worse than last year's, and it is still the same as in the previous life, full of scolding. Zhang Tao was not interested in the director's films, and he couldn't understand them, so he didn't watch them.
These have nothing to do with him, the quality of the movie is not something he can change, and he is not a literary worker. He can get the film and television base to his own town, which is already against the sky, don't think about dominating the film industry.
It's that Wu Yinghou's movie won the award again, and she made money! This is a miracle in the chaotic era of the domestic film market.
This has made her famous now, and she has a tendency to become a generation of leaders together with the old farmers, and they are all called directors of a certain generation.
Zhang Tao still didn't watch her movie, he was already tortured and afraid of some domestic literary films, and he had a phobia, so he didn't want to watch it, for fear that he would be tortured again.
After soaking with the fat man for an hour, the two went ashore together, and then changed their clothes and came out. The fat man still looks unsatisfied, there are a few women in the mixed area today who are in such good shapes, I really want to keep looking at it!
But Zhang Tao didn't seem to be interested in those women at all, and he didn't care about soaking at all. And I always wanted to leave after soaking for a long time, if it wasn't for the fat man's insistence, it was estimated that it would have come out in half an hour.
Coming out of the mixed area, Zhang Limei and the three of them were already waiting for the two of them outside with drinks. After seeing the two of them come out, Zhang Limei took two bottles of drinks to the two of them.
"Here, this is a specialty here in our town, and it is not sold in ordinary places! Money can't buy it. ”
Zhang Tao took it and looked at the name on the bottle, which was written with the word stevia. Belch...... The name is all too familiar.
Stevia, such a familiar name! This kind of thing contains a very high sweetness, when Zhang Tao was a child, they didn't have the money to buy a bottle of soda and gourd orange water for a few cents, this kind of thing is their best drink.
There is a guy in the school who has a lot of crops at home, and this guy has a special business acumen. Every summer, I would grab two handfuls of stevia leaves from my house and sell them at school, a few leaves for a penny.
The school children would spend a penny or two to buy a few leaves to soak in water, and that thing could be soaked several times, which was probably the earliest home-made drink for children in the countryside.
It's just that later this thing seems to fade out of Zhang Tao's memory, and when he went out to work, Zhang Tao deliberately checked the role of this thing.
Stevia has a good prevention and treatment effect on patients with hypertension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease.
However, this thing is a foreign "expatriate", and the time to cross the ocean to China is still very short. It is a perennial herbaceous plant that is native to the weeds of the small slopes of the primary forests of South America.
On Zhang Tao's side, this thing can live for many years if planted once. When summer arrives, clusters of small white flowers bloom, with a faint fragrance.
At first, they had the idea of going to the guy who sold stevia to steal some of it, but unfortunately the guy had several big dogs at home, and they were very fierce, so their plan died directly.
Zhang Tao remembered that once a child ran too slowly when he went to steal it, but the leaf was not stolen, and the dog chewed his pants. Half of the farts * stock came out, and the child's frightened face turned white, but fortunately the person was not bitten!
It's just that the temptation of this thing is too great, and there will always be some children who go there one after another, but they get very little. Later, that guy didn't grow these at home, so as not to be always remembered by those children.
Zhang Tao was very familiar with stevia, but several other people had never seen these things, Zhang Tao smiled and explained to them the origin and function of stevia
"This is a good thing, stevia not only does not have any adverse effects on the human body, on the contrary, it also has medicinal value such as lowering blood pressure, strengthening the body, treating pityriasis, etc., it not only won the championship of the "sweet world", but also called "fashionable sweetness, it is really difficult to drink." ”
"How can this thing be a gringo thing? Why is it planted everywhere on our side? Zhang Limei is obviously not very receptive to this statement.
There are many mountains on their side, and most of the fields are terraced fields with high ridges, and it is too difficult to level the mechanized operation. So in addition to artificially planting rice, they also added some intercropping cash crops.
Some of the new cash crops were introduced to them by technicians from the Provincial Agricultural University, and stevia was one of them. This kind of thing was originally planted casually, but now it has been cultivated on a large scale.
On their side, they have introduced a production line to produce stevia beverage products. However, now the production is not high, and it can supply the entire town for autumn and summer.
"This is thanks to the technicians of the Agricultural University, who brought them in. But you can't drink too much of this thing, it's cold. People with a cold stomach and pregnant people should not drink too much, drinking it is not good for the body. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Tao replied with a smile, those technicians of the Agricultural University are really a group of treasures for their town. Therefore, the town has also negotiated to give these technicians some subsidies, and they will bring back a lot of special products every time they celebrate the New Year.
These are as compensation for the benefits they bring to the town, and in fact they come to do research and have an additional salary, but that is what they deserve, and the town's mind is the town's mind.
"It's written on this bottle." Zhao Lin was looking at the instructions on the bottle and said after listening to Zhang Tao's words. The others also looked at the bottle, and sure enough, it was written on it.
played at Zhang Limei's house until noon, and then a few people had lunch at his house before returning to Zhang Tao's house. Soon after I got home, I saw Lao Xie and his daughter coming over, and then Liu Yan and the others also came over to play.
Several groups of people converged, and Zhang Tao's house immediately became lively. The two Xie Xiaoyan were also pulled out to talk about things, they were both young people, and they spoke freely.
Lao Xie watched them make a fuss and went to the study with Zhang Tao's mother, Zhang Tao was a little curious about what Lao Xie discussed with his mother. (To be continued.) )
