PS: Thanks for the monthly pass of ggjjnmh!

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Chujiazhai was a little quiet again. At this time, the time has entered the second half of June, and the daylily on Chujiaqiang Beach is already golden.

Some time ago, in early June, the flowers were already blooming, almost a month earlier than in other places. At that time, many tourists went to see the daylily, and many enthusiasts who took pictures would not miss such an opportunity.

As for the hard-working bees, they are even more busy. People who play on the beach have to be careful, for fear of upsetting one of these madmen, and they will be miserable.

"It's time to pick those goldenrods. Originally, they were harvested when they were not yet fully opened. Professor Wen spoke. He reminded Chu Jiaqiang a long time ago, but Chu Jiaqiang was stunned and said that he wanted everyone to watch it for a longer time, so it dragged on until now.

This thing, picking must depend on the timing. Harvested early, the flower buds are not long, the weight is light, the yield is low, the slivers are fine brown after steaming, and the quality is poor. If the flower bud is late or open, not only the yield is low after drying, but the quality is also poor, so the flower bud suitable for picking looks big and full from the appearance, the texture is loose, the flower mouth is cracked and not cracked, the color is yellow, and the three seams are very obvious.

Timely harvesting is the key to ensuring the quality of dried daylily products. The buds should be harvested before the buds are fully grown but not yet opened, and the buds are yellow-green when ripe, the flower body is full, and the longitudinal grooves on the petals are obvious.

Yang Lao nodded, and also said: "The harvest time is generally from 11 am to 17 pm, and because it is one after another. It blooms one after another, so it should be harvested every day. On rainy days, the buds open early, so they can be picked in advance. ”

In addition, we also teach you how to pick, the action should be light when picking, avoid hurting the moss and small flowers, so that the light picking does not have a stem, the light does not damage the flowers, the shallow does not crack the flowers, and the quality is guaranteed. After harvest, they are graded according to maturity.

Flower buds should be steamed with picking to avoid flower buds continuing to open and affecting quality. The method of steaming is to put the harvested flower buds in a steamer or boiling water for a few minutes, and when the color of the flower buds changes from yellow to light yellow, pinch the stalk with your hand, and the flower buds droop downward. The steamed buds should not be dried in the sun or dried immediately, and should be simmered in the steamer for about 20 minutes. Allow to cool naturally.

"Oh well! After eating, go and pick as many as you can! "Chu Jiaqiang didn't attach much importance to this matter. He didn't really want to pick it in the first place. He can't make a lot of money, and now he is not short of money.

Those daylilies have been targeted by vegetable buyers for a long time, and they have come to the door several times to discuss. It's just that Chu Jiaqiang has always had a perfunctory attitude, and he only said that he would contact him when the time comes.

After eating, everyone rested for a while, and then took the basket and waited to the other side of the beach. Those tourists are also idle anyway, and when they see the excitement, they also help pick for a while.

"These flowers really look like lilies and carnations!" Chen Xiang picked one. He looked left and right.

She didn't know that long before the carnation became a symbol of maternal love, there was also a mother's flower in our country, and it was the daylily flower. Daylily is a perennial herb of the lily family with fleshy rhizomes, long, narrow leaves, and orange-red or orange-yellow flowers at the tips of slender branches. It is very gorgeous, it is not only for people to see, the flower buds are called golden needles, but also can be used as vegetables for human consumption. It is widely cultivated in the north and south of our country, that is, these daylilies.

"Eat a little tonight, while it's fresh." Chen Wu said.

Yang Lao reminded: "Fresh yellow flowers contain a substance called colchicine, which participates in the process of human metabolism to produce colchicine oxide, which has a strong irritation to the human respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract, and its main symptoms are nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, and in severe cases, hematuria. ”

"Wouldn't it? And such a thing? Isn't that toxic? Chen Wu said with wide eyes.

"It's poisonous! So eat! Be careful, really be careful, woe comes from the mouth! Yang Lao said earnestly.

He told everyone that the fresh yellow flowers picked should not be eaten directly, in principle, it is recommended that the yellow flowers be steamed and dried for cooking, and when eating, consumers should soak them in water or warm water for many times before eating, so as to remove residual harmful substances, such as sulfur dioxide. To eat fresh yellow flowers, you should first blanch them with water, or steam them at high temperatures, and then soak them in water for two or three hours before eating.

"What about daylily! It is indeed a good thing, after the Song and Ming dynasties, Chinese seafarers must carry gold needles and fungus to replace vegetables; Daylily is also an export commodity, which is sold in large quantities to India and other countries, and is commonly used by the people of India and Pakistan for their health. Usually, you can eat a little from time to time, which is good for the body. Yang Lao said.

Chu Jiaqiang also knows very well that daylily has a sweet and cool taste, has the effects of hemostasis, anti-inflammatory, heat clearing, dampness, digestion, brightening the eyes, calming the nerves, etc., and has curative effects on vomiting blood, blood in the stool, urine blockage, insomnia, milk failure, etc., and can be used as a tonic after illness or postpartum.

"How do you pick this thing? I used to buy a little bit of it, and it tasted pretty good. Liang Yu asked.

Chu Jiaqiang was on the side, and he was making a quick move, dazzling others. When he heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Let's observe first!" The color is yellow and bright, the body is long and thick, and the bar is uniform. Then, you can catch it and see how it feels. The border is tight, the feel is soft and elastic, and the hand can be loosened quickly, indicating that the identity is dry, and it is not easy to loosen the hand when you let go, and the identity is damp. If the hand is held into a ball, and there is a sticky phenomenon when letting go, it means that it has begun to rot, and it feels hard and easy to break when holding, which means that the water content is too low. ”

In addition, you can also smell the smell and smell it should have a clear fragrance. If there is sulfur gas, it is smoked, mildew, spoiled goods, smoke, and excessive baking.

"You can also look at the stamens and pollen, if the amount of pollen is large, the stamens are fresher, and they are new; On the contrary, the pollen is less, the hair is sticky and dark, and the stamens are atrophied, which is stale goods. Yang Lao added.

Because of the large number of people, a large basket was quickly picked, and the second uncle hurriedly carried it away with Chen Wu, and took it to dry it first, showing it in the sun.

"Before I went to the lake. Southern Province Qi. The daylily in Dong County is the largest daylily producing area in the country, and it is said that the daylily there accounts for more than 70% of the country's total production, and is known as the origin of daylily. The place is amazing, and when you look at it, it's all yellow, which is very spectacular. Zhou Furong said.

"That's right, the daylily there is famous in the country, not only for the large yield, but also for the quality that is rare in China. However, it seems that it is a little worse than here. Your Chujiazhai seems to be very suitable for growing daylily! This kind of quality is very rare, and it can basically enter the ranks of high-quality products. Professor Wen said.

He has been observing the daylily here for a long time, and the growth is very good, and the quality is staggering. Again, here, it seems that all the crops are growing well. It can also be seen that this is indeed a treasure of feng shui, no wonder so many animals choose to breed here.
