Chapter 227: A Night in the Mountains

Qiongdao once suffered a lot of losses because of this, and later learned from the pain before the government came forward to coordinate the construction of YƬ. The problem is solved by comprehensive planning of planting areas and agricultural products and the formation of a supply and demand industrial chain.

In the future, every year, Qiongdao will be specially led by provincial leaders to participate in agricultural products fairs in provincial capitals across the country. vigorously promoted the agricultural products of Qiongdao, and even led the leaders to sing and dance to help sell.

And what Liang Sanping is doing now is to avoid taking these detours and paying such a price. And his point of view also made Chen Weiping nod in agreement. Indeed, there is so much demand for the whole market. If the market demand is not estimated, it is planted blindly.

In the end, it can only be sold at a lower price. At that time, the situation of grain cheapness hurting farmers will appear. This is something that no one wants to see. Several people inspected the night and camped directly on the mountain without returning to the village.

Fortunately, the people of Qiongdao have always had the habit of planting mountain orchid rice in the mountains. Shanlan rice is a kind of rice cultivated in arid areas unique to Qiong Island. This is the ancestors of the Li nationality in Qiongdao, according to the geographical characteristics of Qiongdao after many years of cultivation of a unique rice seed of Qiongdao, basically you can not find the same rice seed when you leave Qiongdao.

From 1932 to 1933, researchers from the College of Agriculture of Sun Yat-sen University discovered the wild rice species of "Pang Li" in Yaxian County, and similar wild rice varieties were found in Baoting.

There has been a record in the history books: "Mountain rice, planted in the inner map and Li Mountain, burnt forest into ash, because the ash is dung, no need for oxen power, with cone soil and sowing, without irrigation, natural and beautiful, even years have a harvest, the land is gone, choose other places." ā€

Although Shanlan rice is good, it is not easy to grow. It needs to go through a series of production processes such as cutting down trees, burning, planting, caring, weeding, and harvesting, which belongs to the production method of slash-and-burn farming. The method of incineration is used.

The ground needs to be burned to ashes before it can be ploughed and sown. Grass ash is used as a necessary fertilizer for crop growth, and burning also loosens the soil close to 10 cm on the surface, which is good for cultivation and can also burn pests on the surface.

Even until hereafter. The Li compatriots in many parts of Qiong Island still maintain this habit. Boil a clearing directly on the mountain, and then sprinkle mountain orchid seeds. After a few months, the side is harvested directly. There's not much management involved.

It is just necessary to set up a wool liao on the mountain, and guard the harvest season to prevent wild boars and birds from stealing food. And now Liang Sanping, Zhou Jie and others are living in Maoliao, which is used to see Shanlan.

It was the old hunter in the village who took Liang Sanping and them up the mountain, but they saw a few young men giggling around the jungle. Immediately, a few river fish were caught and some wild vegetables were picked.

The bacon brought by the village was also taken out, and the newly cut bamboo was poured with mountain rice and bacon. One man, on the other hand, split the bamboo, filled it with river water, and burned it on the edge of the fire that had been made of stones.

After the water boils. So I put some small fish caught, Lei Gong Root and some unknown wild vegetables into it. After a while, the fragrance was overflowing in this maoliao. The fresh aroma of the fish soup and the mellow aroma of glutinous rice bacon immediately spread.

Smelling this fragrance can't help but make people appetize. The water in the bamboo tube was bubbling open, and several Li family men were busy making ready-made bamboo chopsticks. It was really freshly made, but I saw them take down the machete behind their backs.

I casually sharpened the bamboo joints a few times, and a few pairs of chopsticks came out. This hand made Zhou Jie very curious, although he had also collected medicinal herbs in the wild. But basically he and his colleagues carry a bunch of pots and pans.

Like these men of the Li family, I have never seen anything like this, but I have never seen it directly from local materials and even boiled and stewed. And that's not all. I don't know where these men came from, and they pounced on the slightly flat stones.

Okay! This is a table, and the banana leaves are folded into small bowls by them. The stewed soup was served directly. Several bamboo spoons were also made.

After a while, I saw someone carrying a few coconuts. After three or two clicks, the coconut was peeled and left in the shell. The top opened his eyes and smiled in front of Zhou Jie and the others. Liang Sanping and Chen Weiping were not surprised.

The Li compatriots on Qiongdao often need to go to the mountains to hunt, if they don't have the ability to use local materials. He died in the mountains a long time ago. And when they went up the mountain. These Li men also smeared them with some wild fruits that smelled strange.

After the pulp of these wild fruits was smeared, there were no mosquitoes or leeches to harass them. At this time, the fish that were skewered with bamboo skewers were killed, and there was also a burst of aroma. saw the man who took the lead and greeted everyone with a smile.

"You're so good at what you do! Basically, with a little salt, you can survive in the mountains......" Zhou Jie said with emotion, but the man named Huang Weiqi in the lead laughed.

"Today I am accompanying you up the mountain to investigate. Otherwise, we'll come with shotguns. Now you can eat mountain boar! "Huang Weiqi is the best hunter in the village, and he even hunted bears in his early years.

Back then, this incident caused a sensation in the entire Baoting area, and this was the biggest prey harvested in the Baoting area. And Huang Weiqi was also very proud at that time, and directly peeled off the bear skin and put it at home. Light yƬ do not show people.

At this time, the countryside of Qiongdao still maintained a few simple states. The family got the prey, and the whole village boarded sounded. Whoever catches the prey will share it with the people of the whole village, take a part of it himself, and share the rest with the people of the village.

And Huang Weiqi, as the first hunter in Hekou Village, is naturally confident that he can hit a boar. Besides, it's not like he hasn't beaten the boar. When Chen Weiping heard this, he laughed and said, "I know Xiaohuang's ability, but this time we are here to investigate!" ā€

"Wait for next time! Next time I will definitely come with you to hunt, and when you hunt a boar, remember to give me the pig's teeth! Chen Weiping's words made Huang Weiqi burst into laughter, but he saw him say to Chen Weiping: "Okay! Don't worry, I'll give you a two-hundred-pound pig's tooth, absolutely beautiful! ā€

Laughing, the bamboo rice has been cooked. saw Huang Weiqi grab the bamboo tube that was still hot, pick up the banana leaf that was stuffed with the bamboo tube, grab the machete from his back waist and gently knock and skim, and the bamboo tube cracked.

Immediately, the fragrance of glutinous rice and bacon mixed with the meat spread in the maoliao. At this time, the fish was also grilled and served directly on the table. The fish broth in the bamboo tube is served or poured directly into the unburned bamboo tube.

Zhou Jie was the first time to eat such a meal, and he couldn't help but be very curious. He scooped up a spoonful of rice with a bamboo spoon, put it in his mouth and chewed it. But when I saw him chew it, his eyes lit up suddenly.

Yamalan rice was originally very fragrant when cooked, but now it tastes better when mixed with the fragrance of bamboo and the aroma of bacon. With the fragrance of bamboo, this glutinous rice is not so greasy to eat. The oil of the bacon seeps into the rice and is still fragrant.

"Good! That's pretty good! Liang Sanping saw that Zhou Jie was eating happily, and couldn't help but smile and put a piece of grilled fish in front of him and said, "Teacher Zhou, you try this grilled fish." This grilled fish technique is not ordinary! ā€

Zhou Jie nodded, picked up a piece of grilled fish and ate it. This grilled fish is really good, with the addition of wild sand onions unique to the jungle, and there is no fishy smell. And because it is a wild river fish, the meat quality is also excellent. The technique of grilling fish is even better.

The outside is charred and the inside is tender, and it has the fragrance of wild sand onions to go fishy. At this time, Chen Weiping smiled and said to Zhou Jie: "Old Zhou, don't patronize and eat grilled fish." This soup has to be drunk, and this soup is boiled with Lei Gong root. The purpose is to clear away heat and toxin, and this jungle is the most afraid of disease. There is also the effect of dispelling plague and dampness......"

Huang Weiqi on the side couldn't help grinning when he heard Chen Weiping's words. He didn't expect this old professor to know so much, and he thought that this was a herb that only the Li family would understand. I don't know that Professor Chen Weiping has been staying in Qiongdao for more than 20 years.

He had studied all of these herbs, but the places he used to set foot mainly were in Bai Sha and Qiong Zhong. Don't come to the Baoting area often, otherwise they would have known each other a long time ago.

"Actually! This Lei Gonggen has more than these effects. It also diuretics, promotes wound healing, strengthens blood circulation, and nourishes nerves...... And so on, it is also a good medicine for multiple purposes. But the recipe needs to be developed! ā€

Zhou Jie laughed and said, "Isn't the meaning of our coming to Qiong Island here?!" Developing and making good use of the southern medicine resources in Qiongdao can make the people rich on the one hand. On the other hand, it can also make medicine for the benefit of everyone! ā€

In the midst of this laughter, everyone ended their dinner. Huang Weiqi lit a bonfire in Maoliao to remove moisture, and then picked some unknown fruits and leaves and scattered them around. There are still words in his mouth.

Zhou Jie didn't say anything after reading it, and Liang Sanping and Chen Weiping didn't know how to say anything. Each ethnic group has its own habits, some of which you might think of as feudal superstitions. But as long as it doesn't cause you harm, then you need to respect him.

It's about respecting others, but also respecting yourself. Moreover, in the midst of these mountains, who can guarantee that these techniques will be completely useless?! These techniques that can be handed down must have their own utility. It's a pity that many times the border people who use these techniques don't know which of its core works.

When you don't understand which part of these seemingly old-fashioned, feudal methods is at work. Don't deny anything lightly, giving up some insistence is likely to bring disaster.

There are no longer a few such examples, and Liang Sanping doesn't want to be an anti-feudal pioneer lightly. Zhou Jie and Chen Weiping will not be able to. This night was very peaceful...... (To be continued......)
