Thank you for the support of the Crane City, what is the name, the prodigal son in the color, goodbye ideals, ngstone and other brothers! Thank you, Yamamura! Chapter 92 also has some lists of rewarding brothers, such as honest man 888, etc., but it has been blocked for the time being, mainly because the name of one brother will be reviewed by the starting point! This is also the fourth chapter of today.

The next day, Chu Shengyi sent the best persimmons to Chu Jiaqiang. Chu Jiaqiang also began to be busy with his own affairs, he didn't make all the persimmon cakes, leaving a third ready to be soaked in slaked lime. When the time comes, you can eat it by peeling it directly, and the lime can remove the astringency of the persimmon.

Xu Xiu took away a few persimmons that Chu Jiaqiang had peeled well, and Chu Jiaqiang immediately reminded: "Aunt Xu, this persimmon can't be eaten yet, it's very astringent, and it can numb your tongue." ”

"Huh! I know this, I'm going to take a few to make persimmon cakes. Xu Xiu said.

This time, it was Chu Jiaqiang's turn to scratch his head. Isn't he just making persimmon cakes now?

Yan Tianzhi immediately knew that Chu Jiaqiang had made a mistake, and his wife said that the persimmon cake was different from the persimmon cake he was making now. He explained: "Jiaqiang, you think wrong, your Aunt Xu said that the persimmon cake is not the kind you make now, but a kind of cake that is broken and fried with flour and bean paste, because the persimmon in it is also a material, so it is called persimmon cake." ”

Chu Jiaqiang immediately felt surprised, persimmon can still do this.

Mrs. Wan also smiled: "I haven't eaten that kind of persimmon cake for a long time, and I really miss it." It is relatively rare in the south, and there should be some snack streets in the north. ”

"Persimmon cake? Good stuff, you'll have to taste it later. "Old man Li actually knows that kind of persimmon cake, Chu Jiaqiang feels as if he is lonely.

"There is also a legend about the persimmon cake, which is a story related to Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang. According to legend, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising, established the 'Dashun' regime in Xi'an, and continued to march into Beijing. At the time of the army, Guanzhong was in the year of famine, food was scarce, the people of Lintong mixed with fire crystal persimmon flour, baked into persimmon cake to comfort the righteous army, very praised by the soldiers of the righteous army. Wan Lao also spoke.

"I really tasted it, and it's the first time I've heard of such a snack." Chu Jiaqiang said with some expectation.

An hour later, Xu Xiu came out with a large plate of golden round cakes, and bursts of fragrance mixed with persimmon smell wafted in, even Xiao Jin, who was lying at Chu Jiaqiang's feet, also came to his senses and sniffed hard with his nose.

"It looks pretty good!" Chu Jiaqiang picked up a piece and took a bite, it was sweet but not greasy, crispy and delicious. Chu Jiaqiang couldn't help but applaud: "Good! Aunt Xu, how do you make this persimmon cake? ”

Xu Xiu simply told Chu Jiaqiang about the process. First, wash and peel the persimmons and mash them in a container; Secondly, sieve the flour into the persimmon puree and stir continuously until it is kneaded into a dough with moderate firmness and softness; Then take out the dough by standing for about 15 minutes, cut it into small dough of appropriate size, roll the dough into a thick skin, take an appropriate amount of bean paste filling and put it in it, tighten the mouth like a bun, and flatten it; Finally, it is fried in a frying pan.

Chu Jiaqiang suddenly felt something strange in his right foot, looked down, and saw Xiao Jin pulling his slippers with his teeth.

"Hey! What are you doing, little one? ”

Xiao Jin saw Chu Jiaqiang looking at it, so he pointed at the persimmon cake in his hand with his paw.

Everyone laughed when they saw it, this little guy is really smart, or demonic. Anyone new to it will be amazed at how humane it is.

Chu Jiaqiang had no choice but to tear off a small piece, and Xiao Jin immediately grabbed it with his two front paws and gnawed it violently.

For Xiaojin, Chu Jiaqiang also has nothing to say, his temperament is quite similar to him, they are all lazy, and they sleep on their stomachs when they are full.

The next thing is to help the second uncle's fruit tree prune, and he carries a large iron shears over. He bought this big iron scissors in the city two days ago, and they can be combined and extended, and they are not sold in the town at all.

"Good fellows! Have you ever seen such a big pair of scissors? Chu Jiaqing asked the uncle beside him.

The middle-aged man's face was slightly red, but he said calmly: "What a fuss! I don't think you've ever seen a big snake! I've seen even the biggest scissors. ”

In fact, he hasn't seen it either, but he just doesn't want to lose face in front of his juniors.

The old village chief led the team to observe how to prune together. Chu Jiaqiang pointed while cutting. Pruning is mainly to prune long branches, drooping branches, dorsal branches, over-dense branches, diseased branches and weak branches, pruning can control the amount of fruit, so that the quality of fruit trees can be improved.

"Managing fruit trees is also not an easy task, there are still many things to do, pruning now. In November and December, we have to get fertilizer, and we don't have to spend money to buy fertilizer outside, just bury some cow dung, pig manure, etc., and it is best to add some oil residue together. When it comes to flowering in January and February, it is necessary to pick some overly dense flowers, which is called thinning. When the fruit grows, if it looks dense, you should pluck some of the fruit, which is called thinning the fruit. Chu Jiaqiang vaccinated these people in advance.

"Isn't it? Wouldn't it be good to let it bear more fruit? Some people exclaimed, completely unable to understand this self-destruction of the Great Wall.

The old village chief waved his hand to make everyone quiet, Chu Jiaqiang said this, there must be a certain scientific basis in it.

Chu Jiaqiang glanced at everyone, and then said: "Most fruit trees bloom far more flowers than the final fruits, too many flowers and fruits, nutrients are in short supply, not only affect the normal development of fruits, the formation of many small fruits, secondary fruits, but also weaken the tree, susceptible to frost damage and infection, and reduce the yield of the next year to cause a small year." ”

"Makes sense!" Some people immediately understood that the professionals of the secret path are different, and they are justified. didn't know that Chu Jiaqiang was also learning and selling, and he didn't have the slightest experience at all.

"In addition, if there is too much fruit, it is also a burden on the branches, and if you are overwhelmed, it is likely that the branches will break. We have a lot of strong winds in the south, and when the wind blows, the branches will definitely not be able to withstand the double pressure. Therefore, in addition to the natural shedding of stunted flowers and young fruits due to the adjustment ability of the fruit tree itself, it is also necessary to remove excess flowers and fruits in order to meet the requirements of production. Chu Jiaqiang made a detailed explanation.

"What should I pay attention to when burying fertilizer?" A woman asked.

Chu Jiaqiang nodded to her and glanced at her appreciatively: "Yes, there are also places to pay attention to when burying fertilizer." When we dig a manure ditch, we should dig according to the distribution of the roots of a tree, and try not to cut the roots. ”

Chu Jiaqiang also mentioned some things that should be paid attention to, focusing on the fruit trees in the village.

While everyone was silently writing it down, a few people were about to turn gray. They also planted fruit trees at first, but then cut them down and emptied the land to grow sweet potatoes and corn.

The old village chief glanced at them and knew what was going on.

"Do you regret it now? Hurry up and sell some saplings and come back, won't there be a harvest in two years? The old village chief said to them.

Those people's faces turned red, and they secretly said in their hearts: You said that you would wait for two or three years, and everyone would make a lot of money, and they would only start by themselves.

"Hadron, what fruit trees do you think we should plant?" A man asked stiffly.

Chu Jiaqiang introduced several kinds to them, all of which are relatively easy to manage, such as peaches, longans, lychees, mangoes, star fruits, etc., and their climate here can actually grow many fruits.

"Alas! I have to wait for another two or three years, annoying! One of the guys rubbed his furrowed brow.

"Huh! You can also grow some fruits like strawberries that will blossom and bear fruit that year! Chu Jiaqiang suggested.

This made those people's eyes light up, and they asked Chu Jiaqiang to help buy saplings.
