After eating the grapes in their hands, Zhou Furong and the others walked towards the valley with baskets, baskets and the like, looking at the posture, they were ready to pick back the ripe grapes.

When I got to the other side of the reservoir, I saw that many people were eating grapes on the beach, and when I looked towards the valley, I saw many men walking through it with courage. The bees inside, as long as you don't mess with people, will be fine.

Liang Yu and others also came, they were interested in wine and were going to make some of them themselves. If it's good, it may be sold in the Guanyan Building.

"I heard that grapes were also imported from abroad, which we didn't have in China at the beginning." Li Quan said while cutting grapes with scissors. Before, you didn't see a lot of these grapes, but now it looks like there are a lot of them, and the bunches are hanging on them, which is very beautiful.

As far as he knows, grapes were introduced from Persia by Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty during his Han mission to the Western Regions, and later led this green envoy to the barren Gobi via the Silk Road. Nowadays, in the world's fruit production, grape production and cultivation area have always ranked first, and it has become the real "fruit god" in people's hearts.

The little squirrels and monkeys also came, the little squirrels to help, and the monkeys to eat. They are all masters of identifying fruits, and the grapes they identify are generally ripe. The little squirrel pointed in front, and Liang Yu and others followed to cut it.

"Then you have to look at what breed, right? Like wild grapes in the mountains, what's going on? It can't be said that they were also introduced from the West, right? Chu Jiaqiang said. If there is a wild one, Chu Jiaqiang generally does not think that it is introduced from abroad.

A long time ago, grapes were recorded in books by the ancients, and they were still a traditional Chinese medicine, so that grapes originally existed in China, but the varieties were different. Or, as they say, grapes were introduced, and grapes are our Chinese products.

The fruit of the grape is a deciduous vine and one of the oldest plants in the world. As a country with a vast area in the Eurasian continent, China actually has many products. According to legend, grapes are one of the nine grasses of Shennong.

"Oops! There's a snakeskin here. At this time, Ye Jisheng's voice came.

This attracted the attention of many people, and many people ran over. Chu Jiaqiang pursed his lips, in the words of the peasants, these people are "I have never seen a big snake!" A snakeskin is definitely not uncommon in the countryside and can often be seen. Shedding is a physiological phenomenon of snakes, which is normal, and there are many snakes in rural areas, and there will naturally be no less snake skin.

Everyone leaned over and found a snakeskin lying in the grass. The skin of this snake appears cylindrical, mostly flattened and crumpled, and resembles a snake in its entirety. dorsal silvery-gray or pale grayish-brown, shiny, scales diamond-shaped or oval, junctions white, slightly wrinkled or concave; The abdomen is creamy white or slightly yellowish, with rectangular scales arranged in a shingle-like arrangement.

"What kind of snake skin is this, it's a pity that I didn't see it molt with my own eyes." Said one tourist.

Hearing this, everyone guessed that this guy was not afraid of snakes. The molting of the snake is not so easy to see, even Chu Jiaqiang has not seen it. Even if he bumped into it, with Chu Jiaqiang's fear of snakes, he would definitely avoid it.

"Our people here say that it is not good to see snakes shedding their skin, and they will be unlucky." Chu Jiawan said to them.

In the past, I always heard some old people say that if you don't look at the snake, you will be unlucky. In the countryside, there is a folk proverb: If you see a snake peeling off its skin, it will collapse if it doesn't die!

In addition, some people say that when you see two snakes entangled, don't look around. That's the snake in **, and it's unlucky to see it.

In traditional Chinese thought, the snake also has a very high status and is very mysterious, and is called the little dragon. After the snake molts, it can turn into a dragon and become a sacred object. Perhaps it is this kind of thinking that made the ancients advocate not to watch snakes molt, which is a great disrespectful behavior.

In some areas, if a snake is found in the house, it is the most taboo to kill it. It is believed that if the snake is killed or the snake is not killed, the snake will retaliate, which is not good for the family. So if you find a snake in your home, you should catch it in a jar or put it on a pole and send it to a valley and beg it to hide in a cave and never return to your home.

In southern Fujian, if a snake is found at home, it cannot be killed, people believe that the snake is sent by the ancestors to inspect peace, and whoever enters the house will indicate that the family believes in peace. If you find a few snakes coiled together on the side of the road, you should quickly pull off one of the buttons on your body and throw it away as if you didn't see it.

Some people may think that this is also a feudal superstition, but in fact, the intention of this folk proverb is to keep the people from approaching the snake that wants to molt, which is very dangerous. At that time, it is the most painful time for snakes, and if you get close, you may be bitten by them at any time. If it's a poisonous snake, it's deadly.

Chu Jiaqiang took a look, although he didn't like snakes very much, he still recognized that it was the snake skin left by the cauliflower snake. This kind of snake is most abundant in rural areas. Fortunately, they are not poisonous, and they are timid, and they will flee at the slightest hint of trouble.

"This is the snake skin of the cauliflower snake, and the snake skin is also a traditional Chinese medicine, and someone wants to take it to the pharmacy." Chu Jiaqiang said.

In the past, there were children who collected these snake skins and sent them to the pharmacy to ask for pocket money. If they don't dare to take it home, they will be scolded to death. In the countryside, snakes are as unpopular as owls.

"You said it was the king snake?" Someone asked.

"Ugh! You call it the cauliflower snake king snake? Chu Jiaqiang was stunned, he knew that it was called Cauliflower Snake, and some people called it Grass Flower Snake, but he had never heard of Wang Jin Snake.

Xu Hao smiled and explained: "The king snake is a professional name, and the main feature is the black markings on the head with the word "king", so it is called the "king snake". ”

Someone picked up the snake skin, stretched it, and found that it was actually two meters long. Someone exclaimed on the spot: "This snake is so big!" "In his dictionary, such a long snake must be very big.

"It's a pity that I didn't catch it, otherwise it would be enough for a meal." Chen Wu said.

Xu Hao introduced to everyone that although this snake is not venomous, it is also very afraid of humans, but don't underestimate them. They have a fierce temperament, dare to compete with cobras among poisonous snakes, and have a habit of eating their own kind or other snakes.

"Wouldn't it? Such a fierce snake? "Many people can't believe that this snake is the safest snake in their acquaintance, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful and dare to fight with cobras.

"Huh! That's why it has been said that if God takes away one of your abilities, He will give you another. Someone laughed.
