Ang Lee is a benevolent person, especially when dealing with vulnerable groups, he can better reflect his kindness and generosity, since he eats other people's things, of course, he has to buy some, even if he buys less, he is worthy of his own taste, otherwise he will feel that he is suspected of eating for nothing and not giving money.

The subordinates have money on their bodies, so as long as Li An makes a look, his subordinates will take out a gold coin or silver coin and throw it to the vendor, and then the vendor will be very interested in packing a large bag of fruit and handing it to Li An's subordinates, without using the scale, and the weight is naturally more than the scale.

After Li An visited the papyrus workshop, his stomach was also a little hungry, and now it is very suitable to eat some dates, after all, the taste of dates is still good, and the nutritional content is high enough.

The so-called dates, also called Persian dates, jujubes, and Iraqi dates, are the fruits of the date palm tree, which are called without leaks in the Compendium of Materia Medica, a very interesting name, and are a kind of palm plant.

The reason why the date palm was finally given such a name is because the fruit looks very much like a date, and the fruit tree is somewhat similar to the coconut tree, so the coconut tree and the date palm are combined, and the name date is born.

As a fruit, dates are nutritious, rich in fructose, because of the low glycemic index of fructose, so it can be eaten in moderation by diabetics, in addition to fructose, dates also contain a variety of vitamins, proteins, mineral elements and other nutrients, since ancient times regarded as a very good nourishing and nutritious food.

In general, date palms like tropical climate, in the Middle East, date palms are the most, this kind of date palms are very similar to trees, the height can reach thirty or fifty meters, higher than the height of a ten-story building, standing in the distance and looking at the past, it is easy to see that it is a coconut tree, anyway, they all grow about the same, the distance is far away can not distinguish coconut, palm, date palm, these must be walked in to distinguish well.

The life span of the date palm tree is relatively long, up to 100 years, longer than the life span of people, and this fruit tree has also become a household name after human domestication, in the history of human domestication, not only domesticated cattle, horses, dogs and chickens, but also domesticated a lot of fruit trees, date palm is one of them, the rest such as grapes, figs, olive, these are artificial domestication plants, and the benefits of human domestication, will make the yield of fruit trees higher, the taste of fruit is better, more resistant to pests and diseases, So as to serve the broad masses of the people.

As a typical representative of human domesticated plants, date palms and grape trees, fig trees, and olive trees, known as the domesticated four major tree species, the name is very loud, and as a fruit, dates, extremely nutritious, not only the flesh is sweet, nutritious, can be used as food and fruits, at the same time, it is also the raw material for sugar and winemaking, and can also make high-grade syrup, biscuits and dishes, and make vinegar and alcohol.

As a food, dates are too big to be used, and in many cases, they can be used as medicinal herbs and supplements.

For example, when you are about to give birth, you can eat more dates, because dates can stimulate the uterus through regulation and relaxation, and this is conducive to the woman's birth, the uterus is a relatively large muscle organ, and a lot of sugar is needed during the production process, so it is very beneficial for pregnant women to take dates, at least during childbirth, it can clean up the stomach and add power to the pregnant woman, so as to give birth smoothly.

The sugar in dates is easily absorbed and digested, so he is often used to treat children's gastrointestinal diseases, if the date juice and milk are mixed together to drink, it will also be beneficial to the elderly, after the date is mixed with honey, it can be taken three times a day to treat children's dysentery, in addition, this mixture is also beneficial to children's teething, however, the child's body is more fragile, be sure to choose high-quality dates, but also carefully washed.

There is also the function of curing diseases, dates can treat intestinal disturbances and restore and enhance the function of the intestines, dates can establish broad-spectrum benign bacteria in the intestines, and will also treat constipation like coarse grains.

In general, if you soak dates in water at night and then knead them into juice, you will feel much more constipated the next morning.

In the West in later generations, doctors would advise dieters to take natural sugars and water first when resuming their diet, and dates can meet this requirement, dates just contain natural sugar and water, and they also have the function of detoxification, which is simply a rare good thing.

If someone wants to lose weight, eating some dates is the most suitable, because there are a lot of nutrients in dates, which can well resist hunger, only need to eat a small amount of dates, it will make people feel very full, and in fact, people do not eat much food, which is the premise of weight loss.

Dates are also a boon for alcoholics, sucking the juice of fresh dates will lead to an accelerated metabolism, which is good for hangover relief and reduces the pain of alcoholics.

Why dates taste very sweet, this is because the sugar content of dates is very high, reaching a very exaggerated eighty percent, it can be said that the entire date is composed of sugar, of course, it also includes many other trace elements, in short, sugar is always the majority, people who like to eat sweets, you can eat more dates.

Dates are also known as desert bread by the locals, which shows the love for dates, and not only do they have so many benefits, but they also have a great purpose for the date palm itself.

Because it looks like a coconut tree, the date palm tree can also be used as a landscape tree for urban landscaping, for ordinary people to enjoy, the branches of the date palm tree can be used to make chairs, beds, and transport fruits, vegetables, chickens and ducks, fish and shrimp and baskets, the coconut of the date palm tree can be used to weave mats, make trays, etc., and can also be used as fuel, the trunk can be used to build farmhouses, bridges, date pits can be used as fodder, inferior date pits can be used as fertilizer, re-buried in the roots of the date palm tree, and promote the absorption of the date palm tree, Let the date palm grow bigger and better.

After eating the date palm fruit for a while, Ang Lee, like Osman's subordinates, asked to see the date palm tree to see what it looked like and how different it was from the coconut tree.

Osman's subordinates spoke: "Li Shilang, on the way we came, there were many date palm trees, didn't you see them?" ”

"Is there one? How I didn't see it. ”

Ang Lee replied suspiciously.

Osman's subordinate explained: "Li Shilang, the date palm tree looks a little similar to the coconut tree, and the date palms on the date palm trees we saw on the road have been picked, and they look no different from the coconut trees that have picked the fruit, and it is normal that you can't recognize them." ”

Li An suddenly realized, and hurriedly nodded: "Oh, I see, it's like this!" I said, why don't you have any impressions? It's really interesting, I've seen it all on the way here. ”

"However, there are more date palms in the back of the town, and almost every household grows date palms in their homes, so let's take a look."

Uthman's men spoke.

Li An nodded, and with Ottoman's subordinates, he drove to the date palm grove not far away.

Because the distance is not very far, so, Li An and his entourage arrived quickly, after getting off the car, Li An really saw a lot of date palms that look like coconut trees, the difference in their appearance is only the difference in the fruit, the coconut fruit is very large, and the date fruit is very small, this difference is still quite big, and the difference in other aspects is not much.

"Haha! These date palms are so tall! It's not easy for farmers to harvest once! It's so hard. ”

Li An looked at the tall date palm tree and sighed.

"What Li Shilang said is, however, it is not hard, the farmer has a wooden pole, and after the date palm is ripe, it will fall off after a few strokes, that is, the arm is very sore after knocking too much, and the coolie is used to it, and he will not feel how bitter."

Uthman's men spoke.

Ang Lee thought that the people here would climb the trees to pick? I didn't expect them to pick them with bamboo poles, and their IQ was still very good, better than Ang Lee imagined.

"It's so tall, it takes a long wooden pole! Of course, it is tiring to lift. ”

Li An nodded and said.

The Ottoman subordinates answered, and said randomly: "Li Shilang, there are such very tall date palms here as well, and there are also some very short varieties, which are not much taller than people, and the position of the fruit is only half a person's height, and you can pick it with your hand." ”

"Oh, and the dwarf-type date palm tree, this one is fresh, and the official must go and see it."

Li An suddenly became curious and spoke.

Ottoman's subordinate said, "That kind of date palm tree is in another place, the walk is too slow, let's go by car!" ”

After getting in the car, the group went to another place where there were date palms, where it was said that there were dwarf-type date palms, and Ang Lee was very curious about this and had to see it with his own eyes.

When the vehicle stopped, Li An just got out of the car and saw the low date palm trees in the distance, these dates are really short, and the height of people is about the same, and the height of the fruit is only half a person's height, which can be picked off with a light hand, eliminating the need to beat with a wooden pole, greatly simplifying people's physical strength.

"Haha! It's still good that this kind of date palm tree is good, not only does it grow short, but it also bears more fruit, which is really good. ”

When Li An saw these date palm trees, he praised them very sincerely.

These date palms in front of you, although they are very short, but the trunk is still relatively thick, and there are more fruits, which are much more than the very tall date palms, which can be seen to be a very good variety, which can be regarded as a high-quality variety!

"Li Shilang, this is the best quality date palm tree in the local area, only this local farmer knows how to make this date palm tree bear more fruit and grow less, and he can make a lot of money just selling date palm trees every year."

Uthman's men spoke.

Li An nodded and said, "Yes, yes, this shows that this family is very smart!" With such a good core technology, you can't make a fortune if you want to! ”

There are such peasant talents in any era, and many crooked peasant talents in later generations are also able to invent all kinds of magical technologies, so that ordinary people cannot understand them.

For example, some farmers find that the price of bighead fish with disabled vertebrae is several times higher than that of ordinary bighead fish, so they try to cripple the normal fish fry, so that these fry can grow up and become humpback bighead fish, so as to obtain higher profits.

This kind of invention and creation of working people is the most down-to-earth and the most practical, and can solve the difficulties encountered in daily life very well.

"If Li Shilang thinks it's interesting, you might as well take some back, it's very good to put it in the courtyard to enjoy, and it can bear fruit every year."

Uthman's subordinates opened their mouths to suggest.

Li An frowned and said: "What you said is very reasonable, but a date palm tree like this can only grow so well here, if it is transported to Chang'an City, I am afraid that it will not bear delicious fruits!" Whether or not they can survive is a question. ”

After all, the growth of plants is related to the environment and soil, if the environment and soil are not good, then, it is difficult for plants to thrive, tropical plants are only suitable for survival in the tropics, it is obviously inappropriate to put them in cold places, and plants in the cold zone cannot grow in the tropics.

Of course, Li Ang still has the confidence to plant the date palm tree alive, but let it bear delicious fruits, and Li An does not have this confidence.

There is an old saying in China, orange is born in Huainan as orange, born in Huaibei is orange, that is, orange this plant can only live in the south of the Huai River, if it is planted in the north of the Huai River, it will become orange, and orange is another thing, it can not be eaten at all, and orange is very sweet, which shows how much the climate has an impact on plants.

Of course, in addition to plants, the situation is the same for animals, let the polar bear travel to the tropics, it will also be unbearable heat.
