Chapter 206: Jujube
Time often passes inadvertently, and it is another day (). [Just look for novel material]
Chu Jiaqiang still repeats his fixed work, although it is simple, it is not boring. Unlike going to work, running to the company every day, it is inevitable that life will be boring.
When I got home, I saw Ye Caiping and others holding a string of knots, chatting while eating, and they were more comfortable than the Chu family. Ye Caiping really likes the life here now, it's quite tasteful, and the most important thing is that there is no pressure of life, and she does a lot of things as she wants. Perhaps Chu Jiaqiang is right, the city is a world of hard work and a forbidden area for easy life.
Ye Caiping plucked the seeds that were exposed to the flesh, and then tore off a piece of the twisted flesh: "Open your mouth, give you a piece to eat ()." ”
Chu Jiaqiang smiled when he heard this, and opened his mouth wide. The relationship between the two has been heating up rapidly in the past few days, and sometimes they will hug it under the public's nose, which is harmless. Although the countryside is conservative, it is not impossible to do nothing.
"Please! Can you two be a little more reserved in broad daylight? What a bad moral! Zhou Furong said depressedly.
"If your eyes are red, your eyes will be red! If you have the ability, you can also find one, is it interesting to chirp crookedly here? The last time I saw you, this guy ...... "Ye Jisheng is about to expose this guy's affairs."
Zhou Furong's face changed, and he hurriedly changed the topic: "This jujube is good, I have eaten it once before, and it is also in the countryside." City fruit shops don't sell this thing for some reason. ”
It is the name of the locals, and the real scientific name is Guijube, which was revealed to you by Professor Wen. It is said that there are many names, and there are many elegant names in ancient and modern times: honey bending, wood honey, wood coral, chicken pitch, chicken paw, longevity fruit, golden hook, pear date, wolf, chicken claw pear, stinky wolfberry, etc.
Among them, many people call it longevity fruit, because its fruit form resembles the word "10,000" in regular script, its fruit tree is called longevity fruit tree, five to ten meters high, the fruit tree blooms in spring every year, and the fruit matures in October. This is the time when they mature.
The fruit is ripe and can be eaten raw, and the flesh is pulpy. There is no core, the seeds are exposed outside the pulp, the syrup is sweet and slightly sweet and astringent, and it can also be used to make soup, and the soup has a unique and mellow flavor. The fruit has the effect of nourishing qi and blood, and is suitable for all ages.
"You can't pick them directly from the fruit trees and eat them, they usually wait for them to fall off on their own, and then they are really ripe. When ripe, it is not resistant to hiding. Maybe that's why it's rarely sold outside! Some people beat it down, and then hide it for a while like mangoes, and you can also eat it. But it's very particular. Ordinary people can't hide it, and it may be all moldy. Chu Jiaqiang explained.
"It's a little little, and I'll let that kid go and get some more and make soup at noon. [ ] This thing makes soup, it tastes very good, I ate it once last time. "Zhou Furong is also a person who can eat ().
"Hmmm! Who got this? Chu Jiaqiang looked at his sister. There are two families in the village who grow longevity fruit, but everyone habitually filters the fruit trees. In the past, these fruits were left to fend for themselves, and when they fell to the ground, some children might pick up a little to eat, and the rest would not be carried back by the ants on the ground. It's rotting on the ground.
"It's Shui Bo's family, just now the big guy in his family passed by with a big handful, and Brother Zhou spent some money to buy it." Chu Jiawan replied. Not many people recognized this thing just now, she didn't care very much, but Zhou Furong could see at a glance that it was a good thing.
Chu Jiaqiang nodded, stood up and was about to say hello to Shui Bo. Then get some back. The others, too, were idle and had nothing to do, and they followed along, and wanted to see for themselves. Everything in the countryside is so new to these people. It's like a rural person going to the city, looking around. All are rare goods.
A group of people came to Chu Shengshui's house, and Chu Shengshui saw so many people, and he didn't know why. However, when he saw Chu Jiaqiang, he hurriedly came out to say hello.
"Why is Jiaqiang so free to visit Shuibo today? Come on in, everybody! Chu Shengshui hurriedly asked his mother-in-law to add tea and pour water.
"Uncle Shui, don't be busy yet, we want to go to your place to pick some longevity fruits." Chu Jiaqiang said.
"Longevity? What is Longevity? Chu Shengshui was stunned.
Chu Jiawan laughed eatingly, Chu Jiaqiang patted his head, forgetting that he was not called this. He changed his words and said: "It's a knot, it seems that there are a lot of them cooked now, and today your family has picked up a lot of them, and they can be eaten." ”
"Oh! Bow up! Go and pick it if you want. It's useless anyway. At the beginning, Chen Sheng and I were the stupidest, what to plant is not good, and black olives are good! I'm going to cut them down after a while, and it's said that the wood is still being bought. When the time comes, plant some other fruit trees, and you may have to trouble your family at that time. Chu Shengshui waved his hand, signaling Chu Jiaqiang that they were just free to do so, obviously they really didn't care about those knots.
The wood of the longevity fruit tree has moderate hardness and beautiful texture, and it is the best wood for furniture and art and crafts. Unfortunately, this tree is almost extinct in many places because it is rarely planted. Zhou Furong said that there is no longevity fruit for sale on the market, in fact, this is also a reason, there is no fruit source, how to talk about trading?
Chu Jiaqiang is also strange that this kind of fruit tree is a deciduous tree, which is concentrated in the south, and there are many fewer in the north. In fact, Chu Jiaqiang didn't know that this fruit tree likes sunlight and is a positive tree species, growing on sunny hillsides, valleys, ditches and roadsides.
From the moment he entered the door, Zhou Furong had been staring at a broken bowl fed to the cats at Chu Shengshui's house. At this time, he simply walked over and picked it up to look at it, regardless of the dirt.
Many people don't know what the reason is, only Chu Jiaqiang, Ye Jisheng and others, who know the details of this guy, guessed some, and it is estimated that the broken bowl is a treasure.
Seeing that Zhou Furong was still watching, Ye Jisheng said impatiently: "I said did you see the reason?" ”
Zhou Furong stood up and came over with the broken bowl: "This uncle, do you sell this bowl?" ”
Before Chu Shengshui could speak, his wife became embarrassed. In rural areas, the bowl used to feed the dog and the cat is generally not touched and is not washed even if it is very dirty. Of course, this must be a feudal superstition, but rural people eat this set.
"You and Lao Yi are from the same village, and I can't fool people. So be it! I'll give you fifteen thousand! Zhou Furong added.
As soon as these words came out, Chu Shengshui and his wife's faces changed greatly, and their voices trembled and asked, "You mean fifteen thousand?" This bowl? "Don't say fifteen thousand, if you give a few hundred yuan, they will sell it without hesitation. As for the claims in the countryside, they don't care so much. A cat runs away and is not worth much.
"Hmmm! Fifteen thousand, it's a pity that a hole is broken, otherwise it can be sold for fifty thousand. Zhou Furong said with some regret.
These words made Chu Shengshui and his wife pale and unpredictable, and finally Chu Shengshui gritted his teeth and said, "This damn cat! "No wonder his face is not good-looking, and he has lost thirty-five thousand for no reason, what is the concept of this in the countryside? (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
