Chapter 391: Peach Blossoms Bloom
On this day, Ye Caiping and Chu Jiawan hurriedly ran back, went to the room to get the camera and ran away. Chu Jiaqiang was a little puzzled, could it be that they had discovered something new?
"Where to go? Also with a camera? Chu Jiaqiang couldn't help but ask.
"It's strange that there are a lot of peach blossoms in the backyard and in the valley! Yesterday it was just a flower bone, but now it is two-thirds of the flower, which is very beautiful. Chu Jiawan replied.
The peach blossoms bloom during the New Year, this is not an uncommon thing, in the city, people who grow flowers will pick the flowers at this time to sell. Many people who want to take peach blossom luck will insert one or two at home, hoping to get lucky and find the other half.
Peach blossom is known as a captive of love. In China, peach blossoms have always been inseparable from the word love, people often say that peach blossom luck, is because peach blossoms can bring people the opportunity of love, with the blessing of peach blossoms, I believe you will soon have your own love, so, its flower language is the captive of love. That's how Peach Blossom Luck came about!
Legend has it that there is a kind of peach blossom in the peach blossom source, the petals have opened layer after layer, the color is blood red and blood red, like a peony flower, and its name is peach blossom. It is said that it was made of Chen Bi's blood. Chen Bi bled out, but could no longer stop. Flowing and dripping, the last drop of blood was shed, and his body was crooked, and he leaned on the peach tree, and turned into the largest and largest peach tree in the peach forest.
Chu Jiaqiang also went out to take a look, indeed, it was still a flower bone two days ago. But he didn't make a fuss, it's hard to say about the flowering, maybe it hasn't bloomed in the first two hours, and it will take a few hours to see. It may be opened. In the spring, everything grows very fast. Like the seeds planted by farmers. It takes a few days to sprout. Therefore, spring is the best time for plants to grow.
When I got to the backyard, sure enough, it was pink, and it was the same over the valley. The peach trees on the other side of the valley were small at first, but then they gave all the inside to the villagers and found other ones, all of which were two or three years old. The result is the result.
The bees are toiling hard, checking flower by flower to see if they can still collect honey. A group of swans were walking around leisurely, and when they saw Chu Jiaqiang and others coming, they gathered around.
"Go, go! Find your own food. Chu Jiaqiang waved his hand and drove the swans away.
Chu Jiawan took a picture of a swan, and said in her mouth: "Be nice." Don't move! "It wasn't the first time that the swan had been photographed, and it was very cooperative, and it took a pose that I thought was very elegant.
"Come, go there, stand under that peach tree, and pull down the peach blossom on your head. I'll take a picture of you. Ye Caiping took the camera and said to Chu Jiawan.
The girls are all people who love to take pictures, Chu Jiawan immediately ran over and picked up a whooper swan next to her. The wren also flew over at this time, but was pecked by the swan. Then he yelled at the bastard and left.
The little tiger followed Chu Jiaqiang's side, chasing a butterfly and playing. The butterfly actually teased the tiger on top of the little tiger. And didn't fly away.
Bees, butterflies, and peach blossoms really look like a peach orchard. Chu Jiaqiang bent down and looked at it a few times. These flowers bloom very densely, and they will have to be thinned after a few days.
The thinning and pruning of peach trees are very important, and it is easy to affect the quality of the fruit. Peach blossom is the axillary bud of the annual full peach, the flower bud is differentiated in July, and the habit of flowering in the spring of the second year, so it is necessary to pay attention to pruning, the young peach is mainly to grow the peach crown, prune in time after flowering, and only retain two or three buds at the base of the flowering branches, and the rest are cut off.
In summer, the branches that are overgrown are topped to promote the formation of flower buds. For plants that do not grow well, we should avoid pruning too much, suppress the strong and help the weak, and pay attention to the uniform distribution of branches to create a beautiful plant shape. Of course, the pruning work Chu Jiaqiang had already completed.
In fact, with so many flowers, only one-tenth of the final fruit is produced, and even one percent of the fruit that actually becomes useful is less than one percent.
"Huh! Red pandas eat peach blossoms. Ye Caiping said suddenly.
When everyone looked over, they saw the red panda climb a peach tree, break a peach blossom, and eat it.
"Huh! Peach blossoms are also edible, just like azaleas. But if you eat it like this, it is certainly not as delicious as azaleas, and it is better to be processed. For example, it is made into peach blossom porridge, just like plum blossom porridge, as well as peach blossom tea, peach blossom wine, and so on. Chu Jiaqiang explained.
"Then let's pick some back, I don't know if we can make pastries like osmanthus." Ye Caiping suggested. She has eaten osmanthus cake, and she feels very delicious, not very greasy.
Before Chu Jiawan could agree, she ran home. Chu Jiaqiang shouted in the back: "Hey! First of all, I don't know what to do. ”
"You can't learn! It just so happens that we brew some peach blossom wine, and when the time comes, we will sell it in Guanyan Tower, and the same is true for peach blossom tea. Ye Caiping has already made plans.
After the three of them picked it for a while, there was a basket of vegetables. You don't need so much to make peach blossom porridge, and the rest will try peach blossom tea and peach blossom wine.
I took a look on the Internet, and there are two ways to make peach blossom porridge, in fact, it is more useful for women to drink it.
Put the peach blossoms in a clay pot, soak in water for 30 minutes, add japonica rice, simmer the porridge, add brown sugar when the porridge is ready, and mix well. This is the easiest way to do it, and anyone who has seen it will do.
This porridge not only has a beauty effect, but also can invigorate blood circulation and dispel blood stasis. However, this porridge should not be taken for a long time, and it should be suspended during menstruation, and those with excessive menstrual flow should not take it. If you use fresh peach petals, the effect is better.
In addition, you can also separate the skin and bones of the pig's trotters, add water to the iron pot, boil over high heat, skim off the foam, change the simmer until the pig's trotters are ripe, take out the bones, add japonica rice and peach blossoms, continue to simmer the porridge, add an appropriate amount of fine salt, monosodium glutamate, sesame oil, chopped green onions, minced ginger when the porridge is completed, and mix well.
This formula has the effects of invigorating blood and moisturizing the skin, invigorating qi and breastfeeding, enriching the skin and beautifying, and removing blood stasis and rejuvenating, and is suitable for breastfeeding women with pigmented spots on the face. Taking this porridge after childbirth can not only clear breastfeeding, but also remove facial pigmentation, moisturize the skin and nourish the body.
Ye Caiping and Chu Jiawan were engaged in drum peach blossom porridge, and Chu Jiaqiang tried to make peach blossom wine. There is nothing special about peach blossom tea, collect the flowers, and then dry them, and then take them out and brew them like tea leaves.
Peach blossom wine is quite famous, and the production will be more complicated. Pour the peach blossoms into the wine jar, add and wait for the liquor, take the wine to soak the peach blossoms as the degree, cover and seal, soak for 30 days and then open the seal, decant the medicinal wine and put it again.
This wine can be drunk, or you can use a little medicinal wine in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together, and when your palms are hot, wipe your face back and forth. This formula can remove dark spots on the face, treat dull complexion, dark spots and postpartum dullness.
After a while, Chu Jiawan and the others had already made the peach blossom porridge and asked Jackton and others next door to come over and eat it together. Chu Jiaqiang also ate this porridge for the first time, and felt a little strange at first, but the more he ate it, the more flavorful it became, and the aroma of peach blossoms slowly emanated, which was intriguing.
