Chapter 181 Planting "Weeds" in the Greenhouse
The three of them ran out in embarrassment for four or five hundred meters, and only then did they stop with palpitations after turning the corner.
"I said, third brother, what are you doing here? Who the hell is that that scares you like this? β
", what do you think? Think for yourself, who else can there be here in Port City? β
As soon as the person known as the third brother said this, the faces of the other two turned white. Speaking of which, the three of them, let alone in a small port city, even in the capital, are rampant masters, and ordinary people really don't dare to do anything to their third brother.
But even they, a long time ago, were ordered many times by the elders of the family. The old lady of the Ye family personally recognized a godfather, and it was difficult for them to think about this kind of thing.
"That's, is that really the little God of Wealth?"
"Nonsense! The ideas of the security company I am running now are all given by others, do you think I can admit my mistake? β
"Then the old lady next to him isβ"
"What do you think?"
Immediately, the three of them shivered with a heart, and couldn't help but look back, but they didn't find anyone chasing after them, and the hanging heart was put back in their stomachs.
Probably because she was disturbed by these people, the old lady didn't eat much, and almost all the rest was covered by Xiao Liu alone. Seeing that he ate sweetly, the old lady's frowning brows loosened a lot.
"Okay, let's go, it's not early, go back early, I made an appointment with a few old sisters, I'm going to play mahjong this afternoon, it's too late for people to wait for me!"
Hearing the old lady say this, the corners of Wang Yong's mouth couldn't help but pull. This old lady doesn't know what's wrong, since she came to the village, she has to play two small mahjong games if she doesn't pull it all day.
Winning or losing is not big, and it is capped at a dime. After playing for half a day, you can't lose a few dollars with a little back. Both for the old people in the village and for the old ladies. It's just about passing the time and moving your fingers.
"By the way, grandma, did you leave me any land in the greenhouse over there? I've found all the seeds, and now everything is in place, and all I need is the east wind! β
"You!"
The old lady stretched out her finger and gently touched Wang Yong's forehead. looked at him with a smile on his face: "Secretly, don't let your parents know, otherwise they will say that grandma spoils you too much!" β
"Got it! Don't you feel at ease with my mouth? If I don't want to say, you're a tiger chair with chili water, and it's useless! β
Talking and laughing, a few people got into the car, and there was no delay on the road this time, and they drove back to Wangjiazhuang directly from the city. As soon as the car turned into the alley where his house was, he saw four or five old people from the village standing at the door and looking at it.
The old lady couldn't stand it anymore, even though the car was still moving. got up and leaned forward, stretched out his hand and pointed at the old people and shouted: "Oh, it's still late, people have been waiting for I don't know how long!" β
When the car arrived, as soon as the car door opened, the old lady neatly pushed the door and walked down.
"Oh, why don't you wait in the house? This cold weather outside will freeze you out again? Hurry, hurry up and go into the house to warm up! Xiao Wang. Hurry up and make tea! Xiao Liu, go to Westinghouse to collect some melon seeds and peanuts! Grandson, go to your house and wash some fruit and bring it over. Be obedient and obedient, and when grandma wins the money, she will take you to buy delicious food! β
Seeing that the old lady was incoherent with excitement, Wang Yong turned his head and ran to his house to get the fruit.
The old lady's addiction is getting bigger and bigger, but fortunately, he is still quite restrained, and he has a maximum of two or three hours a night. The rest of the time, if you don't wander around the village, you are at home and waiting for the shed in your yard.
Wang Yong carried a plate of washed apples, sour pears, oranges and bananas, put down the plate and left the house. Come to the door of the shed in the yard.
When you open the door made of the same glass, you will immediately feel a warmth that is different from the outside. This greenhouse is really of a high standard, strict requirements, much better than the kind built by the people in the village in the field.
The heating equipment here is an air conditioner, and a 2-horsepower air conditioner is blowing hot air, making the interior of this greenhouse of about less than 30 square meters warm like spring.
The greenhouses have been planted with all kinds of vegetables, a small vegetable leek, because it is the first stubble that has just been planted, so it still looks very young and slender. But the first crop of leeks, the taste is absolutely not picky.
There are also a few tomatoes planted on the side, the seedlings are less than ten centimeters, and it is not yet time to build a shelf, but they are growing well, and they are very green and oily.
There are also shallots, garlic sprouts, coriander, chili peppers and other seasoning dishes, according to the old lady, these things must be eaten fresh.
In the end, there is a small corner located in the southwest corner, and there is no need to think about it, it must be the place that grandma specially set aside for herself.
The place is not big, only one or two square meters, but it is enough for Wang Yong to do next.
When he came to that place, Wang Yong squatted down, stretched out his hand and buckled the ground a few times, feeling that the soil was very loose, and it must have been loose. And it was made into the shape of a small vegetable bed, and the soil slopes were raised on all sides, and the province ran away from other places when it was watered.
"Not bad, not bad! Just right! β
As he spoke, Wang Yong took out a small paper bag from his pocket, and after opening it carefully, a bunch of small black things were revealed inside. It's the size of a sesame seed, and it looks like a seed.
Wang Yong held the paper bag, thought for a while, and turned his hand over, and the paper bag fell into the soil with the seeds of unknown plants inside.
"That's it!" Wang Yong clapped his hands, turned around and took two steps, unscrewed a faucet there, and began to flood it.
Wang Yong had a similar plan for a long time, but unfortunately, when his mother learned what he was going to plant, she lay on the ground angrily, pointed at Wang Yong, and her face turned black and she couldn't speak.
In the end, of course, it was vetoed by the strong mother, just kidding, although we are rich, we are still farmers, okay? Farmers have always pulled weeds, so how can anyone grow grass in their own fields? Or weeds!
That's right, you read that right. Wang Yong is planning to plant grass in the greenhouse! However, it is not accurate to say that it is a wild fruit, which of course is a kind of wild grass that can be found everywhere in the field, but it can bear fruit.
The weeds or wild fruits that Wang Yong planted are extremely common plants in the area, and they can be easily spotted wherever you walk in summer and autumn.
In the yard. In the midst of the crops, on the ridges on both sides of the road, beside the ditches, in the fields, on the slopes of the hills...... They all have their tall figures, as dazzling as a lamp in the dark night.
This weed is called sweet by the locals because of the sweet taste of its fruit, which is the most accessible delicacy for many rural children who have no snacks to eat.
By searching for information, Wang Yong learned that the scientific name of this thing is nightshade. With such a lofty name, its ability is naturally not small.
According to the information, it is: nightshade, an annual herbaceous plant, 30-120 cm high, erect, multi-branched; The ovate or heart-shaped leaves are alternate, with small white flowers and spherical berries. It is cyan at first, purplish-black when mature.
Its berries and leaves are edible. However, because the leaves contain a large amount of alkaloids, they need to be cooked before being eaten to avoid poisoning.
The whole plant of nightshade can be used as medicine, which has the effect of dissipating stasis and reducing swelling, clearing heat and relieving heat. In the "Tibetan Materia Medica", "Miao Medicine", "Tujia Medicine" and other minority pharmacopoeias, it is often used as a medicine to treat various diseases.
It can generally be used to treat boils, carbuncles. Treatment of erysipelas, bruises, sprains, chronic cough, edema, and even cancer. It can be said that it is a versatile herb that can be found everywhere.
Having said all this, in fact, you can think of it as a miniature version of the tomato. Both in terms of plant and fruit shape are very similar.
Of course, the fruit of nightshade is black and purple, which is completely different from the red and bright eye color of tomatoes.
According to the data, the grass is edible when it first grows young leaves in March and April.
In the era when Wang Yong lived, even when he was not rich when he was a child, and it can even be said that he was not very rich, and he was very poor, he had never seen anyone dig this thing in the field to eat.
Even if someone wants to eat wild vegetables, they will only dig them up with bitter hemp, shepherd's cabbage, etc., and no one has ever shown the slightest interest in this wild grass.
Wang Yong also asked many old people in the village, and in their impression, there were many wild vegetables that could be eaten. During the three years of natural disasters, the people in the village also ate many kinds of wild vegetables, such as carrot cabbage, toad skin, willow leaves, wild amaranth, ground melon, and horse mustard (purslane)...... Bitter hemp and shepherd's cabbage are high-end goods, and you can't find any of them when you go late.
But everyone agrees that they have never seen anyone eat sweet seedlings, but sweet fruits, and almost all the old people said that they did eat them when they were children.
Because people don't know about nightshade, which has a domineering name, people in the neighborhood have been interested in it for many years, except for children, and for adults, it is just a weed in the field.
Wang Yong didn't know which string was wrong in his head, and his whim was like planting it to see if it could be planted as a medicinal plant on a large scale.
Unfortunately, there are no ethnic minorities in the local area, and even traditional Chinese medicine is extremely rare, so it may take a lot of effort to find a market.
Moreover, the distribution of nightshade is so wide that they can be found all over the world, whether it is the southern subtropics where the seasons are like spring, or the temperate climate zone where the seasons alternate.
Such a common thing, just think about it, you know that its sales are not much better. Thinking about this, Wang Yong is no longer struggling with whether he can open up a way to make money through it.
It's good to relieve your cravings after planting, and it's good to summarize and reminisce about your childhood that has disappeared. After all, the sweet fruit with a decent taste was once one of the rare and delicious wild fruits in his childhood, and there are still many good memories of it to recall. (To be continued......)
