Wild grapes are originally called mountain grapes. The names www.biquge.info\\\ and qb5\ were originally different grape varieties, but the mountain people used to add the word "wild" in front of the name of everything that grows naturally on the mountain to distinguish the ones cultivated at home.

When the mountain grapes are ripe, the clusters of round and sparkling purple grapes are surrounded by beautiful red triangular leaves, which is very charming.

The bunches of mountain grapes that grow naturally in the forest are not too tired, they look sparse, and when eaten raw, they taste sweet and sour, rich in berry juice, and are delicious mountain wild fruits. However, because it is rich in acidic substances, it is not good if you eat too much, and it is for this reason that mountain grapes are the raw materials for making wine, and the wine produced is a good drink with a deep red color and good flavor quality.

In addition to raw food and wine, it also has medicinal value.

Take it internally to dispel wind and dampness, relieve heat and diuresis, reduce swelling and circulation, and enter the lung and kidney meridians. It is also effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis and back pain.

Zhang Taiping also walked over and asked, "Is it more?" He thought that if there were more of them, he would pick some and use them to make wine.

Fan Ming looked around and replied, "Not a lot." ”

Zhang Taiping himself went over to take a look, and it was indeed not a lot, so he dismissed the plan of picking and brewing, and it was a good choice to pick it back and send it to the old man to make medicinal materials.

When they were picking on it, Zhang Taiping squatted down, found a piece of root at the bottom, and dug it out.

Fan Ming asked curiously, "Big brother, what are you doing?" ”

Zhang Taiping said: "It's nothing, just look at the roots of this wild vine, and it is also based on Chinese medicinal materials." ”

When Fan Ming heard this, she stopped paying attention and continued to pick grapes and schisandra. Zhang Taiping took advantage of no one to pay attention to the cut out of the root into the space, and the amount of grapes outside was not enough to make wine, but if it was transplanted to the hillside in the space, a large number of them could be quickly multiplied, and then wild wine could be made. He always had a soft spot for winemaking!

Zhang Taiping waited next to him for a while, and when the little dolls finished picking the five spirits in the lower place, Zhang Taiping said: "Okay, let's pick these, and then go over and pick some chestnuts later." ”

The little dolls, whether they were baskets or bags, put some things in them, and they all followed after listening to Zhang Taiping's words. This time, the ones leading the way at the forefront became Little Purple and Big Tailed Squirrels again.

Chestnuts, peaches, apricots, plums, and jujubes are called "five fruits". It is a very common fruit, chestnut is one of the earliest fruit trees cultivated in China, with a history of about 2000~3000 years.

Chestnut trees have a wide range of adaptations to climatic and soil conditions. Its suitable annual average temperature is 10.5-21.8C, the temperature is too high, the hibernation is insufficient, the growth and development are stunted, and the temperature is too low is easy to suffer from frost damage. If the rainfall is too much, the soil will accumulate water for a long time, which will easily affect the growth of the root system, especially mycorrhizae. Therefore, it is qualified to grow on the half-slope and at the bottom of the damp and convenient drainage place.

Xiao Zi and the big-tailed squirrel took everyone to such a place, and there were six or seven chestnut trees scattered on a slope.

Still like in the Wuling'er vine, Zhang Taiping found a tree, first carefully observed the surroundings of the tree for a while, and then stabbed the tree with a pole to prevent the existence of snakes.

There are two methods of chestnut harvesting, namely chestnut picking and millet threshing. The method of picking chestnuts is to wait for the chestnuts to become fully heated, and after they fall to the ground naturally, people will pick them up again. In order to facilitate the picking of chestnuts, weeds should be removed from the ground before the chestnut buds are attacked. When harvesting, the tree is vibrated first, and then all the fallen chestnuts and chestnut buds are picked up. Be sure to insist on picking it up once a day in the morning and evening, and store it as you go. The advantages of the chestnut picking method are that the chestnut is full and full, the yield is high, the quality is good, and the storage resistance is strong. This method is more suitable for home-grown chestnut orchards, and it is a bit unrealistic to use the chestnut picking method in the case of going to the mountains for a long time like this.

The chestnut beating method is to scatter and gently knock off the mature chestnut buds with bamboo poles in batches, and then pick up the chestnut buds and chestnuts. When the buds are beaten, the twigs are knocked inward from the periphery of the canopy to shake the chestnut buds, so that the chestnuts that are beaten are inevitably uneven, some have been ripe, some have not matured well, and the quality is a little unsatisfactory. The chestnut buds that have been harvested should be brought back as soon as possible, and the chestnut buds should be spread out thinly and air-dried.

Zhang Taiping said to the dolls below: "You guys go back a little further, otherwise the burrs that will be knocked down will be stuck in your body in a while." Come back when I call you. ”

After the people under the tree left, Zhang Taiping began to beat the branches from the crown with a bamboo pole, and every time he knocked, a large number of chestnut buds fell, and some of them were ripe, and the chestnuts that had fallen off directly fell down.

This chestnut bud is like a hedgehog curled up, Zhang Taiping picked up a chestnut bud and tore it open and looked at it, they are several together wrapped in a green thorny shell, there are six or seven grains, the chestnuts close to the shell have a round side, and the one that is sandwiched in the middle will of course be flat on both sides, and the chestnuts closer to the shell are easier to receive sunlight. The sugar content of many fruits also has a lot to do with the hours of sunshine. That's why chestnuts on the outside are sweeter than on the inside.

Due to the different growth environments, Chinese chestnuts are divided into two categories: northern chestnuts and southern chestnuts: the former has small fruits, black-brown skin, small base, high sugar content, strong fragrance and delicate flesh; The latter has large fruits, mostly reddish-brown skin, a large base, and a crisp taste. Because the chestnuts in the north and south have their own characteristics, the way to eat them is also different: northerners put chestnuts in coarse sand and syrup to make sugar-fried chestnuts, while southerners mostly use chestnuts to make soup.

Zhang Taiping is now beating down the chestnuts that grow in the north, and the chestnut particles that were originally planted at home are laughing, and the particles that naturally grow on the mountain are even smaller, only the size of a pinball that children play. After I went back, it was mostly the result of frying and eating.

Chestnuts are rich in nutrients, and their vitamin C content is higher than that of tomatoes, and more than ten times that of apples. The minerals in chestnuts are also very comprehensive, including potassium, zinc, iron, etc., although the content is not as high as hazelnuts, but it is still much higher than ordinary fruits such as apples, especially the potassium content is more than 3 times higher than that of apples.

There is a Chinese folk proverb: "July star fruit and August hawthorn, September chestnut laughing haha". Chestnut, also known as chestnut, is known as the "king of a thousand fruits", and is called "health food" abroad, which belongs to the superior fruit that strengthens the spleen and kidneys and prolongs life.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chestnuts can nourish the spleen and stomach, strengthen the kidneys and tendons, and invigorate blood and stop bleeding. It has a good effect on kidney deficiency, so it is also called "the fruit of the kidney". However, chestnuts are difficult to digest when eaten raw, and they are easy to stagnate when cooked, and eating too much at one time will hurt the spleen and stomach, so you can eat up to 10 a day. (However, the saying of eating ten at a time is just advocated by traditional Chinese medicine, and I don't believe that anyone else can support the ten when I meet the freshly baked sugar fried chestnuts.)

Zhang Taiping picked up a chestnut and peeled off the skin, the red and black crust had a thin layer of fibrous skin, the flesh was pale yellow on the outside, and the inside was milky white. When I put it in my mouth and tasted it, I had the taste and feeling of eating raw sweet potatoes, and the two were a little similar when eaten raw, and the fried chestnuts were also similar to those roasted.

While chewing chestnuts, he shouted to Fan Ming and the little dolls who were waiting not far away, "You can come over." ”

When they heard this, they rushed over.

Zhang Taiping hurriedly admonished and said: "Be careful with your hands, but also be careful with your feet, be careful to step on it and get into your shoes and hurt your feet." When picking up, find two leaves to pad them so that you won't hurt your hands. After saying that, he left a group of people to pick up under the tree, and he went to the other trees and continued to beat.

In this way, Zhang Taiping knocked down from the top of the tree, and the children picked it up below, and when the sun was in the west, he hit three trees, and all the bags and baskets and other things were filled.

Zhang Taiping said: "Okay, the chestnuts have also been picked, it's time to go back." ”

The children had a bumper harvest today, so they naturally followed Zhang Taiping with satisfaction and began to return, but so many chestnuts were a burden for the children who were only five or six years old, and they couldn't lift it after walking a few steps.

Zhang Taiping stopped and asked them to remember their bags, then found rattans and tied them all together and picked them up with a tree trunk.

The little dolls were free of heavy burdens in their hands, and began to jump again with joyful conversations, looking left and right to see if they could find anything good.

Fan Ming also pulled this neck and looked around.

Zhang Taiping smiled and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

"See if there's anything good?" Fan Ming replied.

"What do you know?"

Fan Ming shook her head and replied honestly, "I don't know." ”

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "If you look for something in the mountains like you, you won't find anything." ”

"How?"

"Look overhead." Zhang Taiping stopped and pointed to the top of her head. Then let the little dolls walking in front of him also stop.
