In the afternoon, Ye Mingchang and his wife took Ye Ni back to the village.
In order to avoid the scorching heat, the time of the college entrance examination has been advanced in recent years, and Ye Ting, who is in her third year of high school, only has one day off, so naturally she can't go back to the village.
As soon as Ye Ni returned to the village, she ran away and disappeared, apparently going to play with her friends.
Cao Shuyun has long regarded Han Yueying as her daughter-in-law, and she was naturally happy to meet her, if it weren't for Han Yueying still in college, maybe she would have urged the two to get married.
In order to entertain his son's friends, Ye Mingchang specially made a fried blood duck, this dish seems to be available in many places, and the method is not complicated, but it tastes tender and spicy, in the eyes of Taoyuan villagers, this is the best way to cook duck meat.
The fried blood duck in the Nanyue Ridge area has its own characteristics and tricks, such as being sure to use local ducks. The duck blood should be preserved with sour altar water, and the spices are much more particular than in other places, and three or four fresh spices should be used.
Ye Quan saw that a few pumpkins planted randomly on the slope had bloomed, so he picked dozens of them and prepared to make soup at night.
It is said that there is a local girl who married far away and often uses this pumpkin flower to cook, but she was teased by the locals, thinking that how can this pumpkin flower be eaten?
The flowers and stems of pumpkin flowers, the buds and young leaves of pumpkin vines have always been the best materials used to make oil tea and soup, Ye Quan likes it very much, thinking that pumpkin flowers taste delicate and delicious, sweet and delicious, and it is a rare delicacy.
Moreover, pumpkin flowers also have the effects of clearing dampness and heat, reducing swelling and dissipating stasis. It has a certain auxiliary effect on anemia, chronic constipation, colorectal disease, high blood pressure, headache, stroke and other diseases in young children.
Really. At dinner, Han Yueying's three daughters were full of praise for the two dishes of fried blood duck and pumpkin flower soup, and they were annoyed that they would not be able to eat them after returning to the city.
……
On Labor Day, Taoyuan Village ushered in the first peak of tourists, and the rooms of the hot spring villa were lined up for a week, but fortunately, the village opened three or four small hotels one after another before May Day, plus the villagers' farmhouses, and the hotels in the town also diverted many tourists. I can finally handle it.
People often use the phrase "playing in the mountains and waters" to describe their closeness to nature, and in the hot season, "playing in the water" is obviously more popular than "visiting the mountains".
May is the season when the weather is getting hotter, and Taoyuan Village has taken the opportunity to launch two water-related summer projects, one is the rafting from Qingshui River to Pingjiang; One is a man-made beach at the bend of the Pingjiang River.
In order to create an artificial beach, Ye Quan transported 3,000 tons of pure silver sand from the sea to Taoyuan Village, paving a beach 5oo meters long, 6o meters wide and 1 meter thick.
In fact, there is sand on the sandbar, and the sand layer in many places is even four or five meters thick, and the quality is also high-quality, but Ye Quan is unwilling to destroy the environment of the sandbar, nor does he want to buy river sand produced in nearby areas, and would rather spend a lot of money to transport sea sand.
The most unique thing is that 66 coconut trees are planted on the sandbank. Hybrids, combining the advantages of tall and short coconuts, have the characteristics of low height, long life and high yield, with an annual yield of 18o~2oo per tree, and these coconut trees surround the entire beach. Separated from the sandbar, it becomes the most beautiful scenery.
Visitors come here as if they have entered two worlds. On one side there is a sandy beach, umbrellas, chairs and coconut palms, like coming to the seaside; On one side, there are green grass, streams, horses, cattle and sheep, etc., as if you have come to the grassland.
There are also knowledgeable tourists who see it, and sarcastically plant coconut trees in Taoyuan Village as "whimsical".
You must know that the planting environment of coconut trees requires an average temperature of more than 22.5 degrees throughout the year, and even if it survives in this climate, the fruit will be very small, without coconut meat, inedible, and only ornamental.
The temperature and light in Viet An City are far from reaching this standard, not only frost in winter, but also the possibility of snowfall, coconut trees are very easy to freeze to death, even the king coconut is difficult to survive, it is impossible to plant live tropical plant coconut trees.
The coconut tree transplanted by Ye Quan will definitely not be in vain, and the biological real room has recently developed a new No. 7 bioactive solution, which is much stronger than the ordinary bioactive solution, and can maintain the activity of the biological to the greatest extent, with this product, the plant will no longer be limited by geography in the future.
Because there is still enough market for the early products, the No. 7 bioactive solution is not in a hurry to promote, of course, although the transplanted coconut trees can ensure survival,
Although it is not yet very hot season, tourists who come to Taoyuan Village are attracted by this artificial beach, most of them buy swimsuits and swim trunks to go into the water to play, and some are even moved by the publicity on the website and come to this beach.
At the bend where the beach is located, because the river is wide, there is no rapids, and the slightly deeper place is also filled with river stones in the village, and there are special lifeguards to take care of it, so you don't have to worry about accidents.
This beach is popular with the little ones and is a paradise for them to have fun in.
……
In the afternoon, Ye Quan took Ye Ni and Han Yueying three daughters, went to Qingshui Creek to play rafting, the rafting distance of Qingshui Creek is six miles long, the scenery along the way is picturesque, completely immersed in nature, and a small dam was built at the source of the bottomless pool, which is used to store water at night, increase the flow of water during the day, and it is also a place for tourists to rest, tourists can not only take kayaks and drift here, but also buy and rent fishing tackle, etc., and fish around the bottomless pool.
At the end of the rafting is the Pingjiang River, where fishermen in the Taoyuan village use "bird rows" to cast nets or cormorants to catch fish, and some tourists are particularly interested in these activities.
One of the most interesting is cormorant fishing, which has been practiced for thousands of years in the Nanyue Ridge area, and has been passed down from generation to generation, because fishing is far less efficient than other methods, and has disappeared in many places, except for some tourist attractions, or remote places like Taoyuan Village.
**In the 10s, fishing methods such as fried fish and electric fish rose in the lower reaches of the Pingjiang River, and I heard that some people had their arms blown off by detonators, but the people of Taoyuan Village still stubbornly followed this traditional fishing method.
The "bird row" used by fishermen for fishing is not the bamboo row used for tourism in some places, in order to be fast, generally only five or six bamboos are used to tie up, narrow and long, people stand up and shake left and right, inexperienced people can not even squat well.
It turned out that Ye Mingqing, who was ferryman, was "unemployed" after the bridge was built, so he tied a wide bamboo raft made of more than ten bamboos, and put some bamboo benches on it, and got seven or eight cormorants he raised on the boat, which were specially rented to tourists for fishing, and he was charged by time, and he earned more than ten times more money every day than before.
Han Yueying's three daughters are all people who grew up in the city, and it is strange to see anything, and this cormorant fishing is naturally no exception, Ye Quan called Ye Mingqing and let Han Yueying and the three of them get on the bamboo row.
Ye Quan held on the bamboo pole and stopped at a place where fish gathered on the river, in this regard, he had more say than Ye Mingqing, an old fisherman, because through the scanning of his mental power, Ye Quan could even detect a small shrimp under the river within a hundred meters.
Yuan Hui carefully sat on a small stool on the bamboo row, and saw that the cormorant next to him had a pointed beak with a hook, flapping its wings or croaking a few times from time to time, and was a little scared in her heart, and asked, "This cormorant can't bite, right?" ”
Ye Mingqing laughed and said, "Cormorant doesn't look at its long and pointed beak, it's actually very docile, just don't mess with it." ”
Before the cormorant went into the water, Ye Mingqing tied a thin rope around the necks of several cormorants, this is to prevent the cormorants from swallowing big fish privately, because the cormorants will not listen to the command of others as soon as they are full, and the rope should not be too loose or too tight, too loose will have no effect, and too tight will hurt the throat of the cormorant.
Tie the ropes and, just listen to Ye Mingqing's order, the cormorants plunged into the water, and in only a minute or two, the first cormorant came out of the water, holding a fish four or five inches long in its mouth.
The cormorant took the fish in his mouth, swam over and jumped on the bamboo raft, Ye Mingqing took off the fish, put it in the bucket, took out a small fish and threw it to the cormorant, rewarded it with some sweetness, and rushed into the water again.
Soon the other cormorants also surfaced, and most of them caught a small fish, Han Yueying and the three daughters watched with relish, learned to take the big fish from the cormorant's mouth, and fed a small fish.
Ye Quan remembered something and said, "Uncle Mingqing, I heard that your matter has been completed, who is the object?" When is the wedding reception? ”
Ye Mingqing had a leg injury when he was a child, he walked a little lame, his family was poor before, and he was over forty years old and had not yet married, but now Taoyuan Village is now prosperous, and there are opportunities to make money everywhere.
Ye Mingqing now earns several thousand per month, no worse than the white-collar workers in the city, and according to the current trend in Taoyuan Village, the dividends paid by the tourism company to each villager at the end of the year are at least tens of thousands.
As a result, the old bachelor has also become a fragrant glutton, and it is said that there is more than one person who kisses him.
Ye Mingqing smiled "hehe", seemed to be a little shy, and he couldn't see it on his dark face, and said: "The other party is a widow in her thirties in a neighboring village, and people of our age are not interested in falling in love, just look at the right eye, and we will do things next month." ”
Ye Quan was also happy for him in his heart, and with some hard work, he was finally able to improve the lives of his clansmen, and even change the fate of many people, which was hundreds of times better than directly stuffing money.
