Chapter 65 Tea Seed Picking
Hurriedly stepped forward and pulled away a thorn on her body, the trees on this mountain grow well, and all kinds of firewood and thorns also grow well, accidentally broke in, and her body was full of thorns and scratches. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info said distressedly: "Let's go together, see if you can't find anything." Dong Ruyi nodded.
Then the two of them held hands and searched for it in the back mountains, panting but seeing nothing, she couldn't help but feel a little deflated. Are you looking in the wrong direction?
Dong Ping'an walked to a tree, couldn't help but sigh in surprise, and then said mysteriously, "Ruyi, brother will find you something to eat." After saying that, he got into the bushes more than two meters high, and he couldn't see his figure at all.
Dong Ruyi rarely saw the eldest brother like this, and waited patiently in the same place, and when he came out, there was a handful of fruit in the palm of his hand, which looked a bit like a banana, but was much smaller than a banana.
"Ruyi, eat quickly, it's delicious." Dong Ping'an saw his sister looking at him curiously, and handed his hand to her and said.
"What kind of fruit is this?" Dong Ruyi asked strangely, the fruit that he didn't know on the mountain was also afraid of poisoning.
Dong Ping'an knew that this sister was cautious, and the last time she took her to eat, she said that she was afraid that the snake would crawl over, so she had to wash and eat, and she didn't know her to persuade him not to eat for fear of being poisonous.
So he told her the origin of this fruit, "It is August tea, you can eat it, and many people in the village have eaten it." There is also a sentence that is sung like this, tea in August, picking in September, and picking up footprints in October. ”
Dong Ruyi heard that someone else had made up a song, that is, everyone knew it, and they were also very interested in this song. "Brother, what do you mean, what month did you hear it?"
Dong Ping'an said carefully, "It's the fruit that grows in August, and you can pick it and eat it in September, but it won't be there in October, so you can only look at the footprints left by others." ”
Dong Ruyi took one, tore off the skin, and took a bite, it was really delicious. "Brother, your eyes are so powerful, you can find this."
Dong Ping'an wiped the sweat from his forehead, and also picked one up and ate it, "I came here last year, and I picked a few here, and I just went to find out if there were any, but I didn't expect there to be any." ”
Dong Ruyi nodded, this kind of melon seed is very similar to a banana, and he doesn't know what the tree looks like, so he asked: "What kind of tree, I'll also go and see it, next time I see it, it's good to pick." ”
Dong Ping'an swallowed the fruit in his mouth, pulled his sister into the woods, and pointed to a tree with shiny leaves.
Dong Ruyi looked up and suddenly became excited, isn't this a tea seed? There are trees all over the place, all of them big and round.
The tea tree, also known as the Camellia oleifera tree, belongs to the tea family and is a small evergreen tree. Because the fruit it bears can be squeezed for oil, it is called Camellia oleifera. In spring, the tea trees will bloom new green, green, fresh and shiny. In the golden autumn of October, its fruits bloom shortly after they are picked, and they are all over the mountains
She was also stupid, and she kept walking into a misunderstanding, looking for medicinal herbs and looking at the ground, but she didn't look at the fruit hanging on the branches.
When she saw good things, she didn't hurry up to pick them, where did she worry about eating oil with these tea seeds.
At this moment, she wanted to sing a song to express her joy.
"The world is so beautiful, I love you."
In modern times, tea oil is even better than olive oil, and has been called the best cooking oil in the world by the International Society of Nutrition.
From hulling, drying, crushing, oil extraction, filtration, the whole process is a physical method, so it is a real pure natural green edible oil.
Camellia oil does not contain erucic acid, cholesterol, aflatoxin and other additives. Tested: The unsaturated fatty acids in tea oil are as high as more than 90%, oleic acid reaches 80-83%, linoleic acid reaches 7-13%, and is rich in protein and vitamins A, B, D, E, etc., especially the rich linolenic acid it contains is necessary for the human body and cannot be synthesized.
The "Compendium of Materia Medica" mentions the therapeutic effect of tea oil: "Tea seeds, bitter cold and fragrant poison, mainly for the treatment of shortness of breath and cough, and removal of phlegm and scale." There are also many records in other ancient books, "Compendium Collection" records that "tea oil can treat hemorrhoids, reduce dampness and fever", "Farm Diet Recipe" records that "tea oil cooks dishes, suitable for daily use, steamed cooked food, Ze produces light, all oils are the lightest, so all diseases are not taboo." ”
Dong Ruyi's face was shining, his hands kept picking, and he put the tea seeds on the tree into the back basket.
Dong Ping'an asked strangely beside him: "Sister, what are you doing picking this, you can't eat this?" ”
Someone in the village has also picked it before, and everyone knows that it is not to be eaten, and there are black seeds in it. Some people eat it without believing in evil, and as a result, they almost bite off half of their teeth before peeling off the green skin on the outside, and there is a hard shell inside, and if you bite again, the inside is bitter. No one has eaten it since.
Dong Ruyi was also curious, there were so many delicacies in the town, why no one saw it: "Who said you can't eat it, you won't eat it." Hasn't anyone in the village tried it? ”
Dong Ping'an shook his head and said, "I tried it, but I can't eat it." ”
Dong Ruyi understands the concept of people in Lotus Village, and the people here are also Shennong who have tasted a hundred herbs, and they have eaten some fruits on the trees.
So there are a lot of fruits that have never been recorded in the books, and they have eaten them, and they have been handed down, just like the earth women and so on before.
However, for those who can't be eaten in their mouths, they feel that they are useless. She patiently explained: "Brother, this is not directly used to eat, this is used to squeeze oil to eat." ”
Dong Ping'an heard a strange thing, "Oil extraction? Can this be used to extract oil? Isn't it squeezed with lard? What you can't eat can also be squeezed for oil? ”
Dong Ruyi nodded, "Brother, our family will be able to eat fragrant oil then." ”
After speaking, he closed his eyes and reminisced about it.
The movements of the two hands did not stop, and seeing that Dong Ping'an was still stunned, he pulled him, "Brother, come over and pick it up together, I can't pick it up." ”
It's an old tea tree, and it's been around for some years. The tree is almost two meters tall, in fact, the tea tree is generally not very tall, between one meter and two meters, which is very suitable for picking on the ground.
Dong Ping'an listened, "oh", and hurriedly stepped forward to pick it together, but the family can't afford to eat oil, it's great to have this to squeeze oil.
"Sister, you're so smart."
"That's, you don't look at whose sister it is."
Dong Ping'an smiled hesitantly, and after the two of them finished picking this tree, it was almost seven or eight catties.
Dong Ruyi was not in the mood to look for ginseng and medicinal materials at this time. With this tea seed squeezed out of one catty, how much firewood can be bought, and how many catties of meat can be eaten at home.
What do you want to do with the moon in the mirror? This ready-made is the most practical.
As soon as the tea oil comes out, who competes.
They searched for other tea trees nearby, and soon there was a basket on their backs.
The tea seeds were very heavy, and the two carried her home first.
