Chapter 353: Artichoke

"Many, it's full of "little girls stretching" Wukong found it, and we want to eat it when we see it digging and eating. Xiao Haoyu said that you have explained before, you can't eat the fruit you don't know, I'll come back and ask......"

I didn't want to hit that little guy's alertness was quite high, and I really didn't teach him in vain last year.

"This is artichoke, and it looks the same as the ginger at home, but this thing is similar to sweet potatoes, whether it is eaten raw or fried as a dish, it tastes very good." Liu Junhao saw that everyone was looking at the things in his hands, so he explained with a smile. Professor Zhao had eaten artichok when he went to the countryside to investigate, but he only thought the dish was delicious at that time, and he didn't pay attention to its original form, so he didn't recognize it.

Just by listening to the name artichoke, he knew that it was a foreign product, and he didn't know when Liujiagou was introduced, in short, he remembered that when he was a child, there were a lot of plants in front of and behind the house. This thing is very trouble-free, mainly propagated by tuber rhizomes, so there is no need to be cared for all year round, and you can dig a nest whenever you want to eat. The artichoke is sweet and silky to eat, and it tastes fragrant and fragrant after being fried with salt. But I'm afraid of eating everything, and Liu Wuye doesn't know how to stir-fry, so every time he stir-fries, it's lazy and trouble-free. Throw a pile of artichokes into the pot. Therefore, during that time, he felt that this thing was sweet or not, salty or not salty, which was very palatable. Later, I don't know what happened, and in a few years, the artichoke in the village was dug up to the roots.

When someone remembered this thing again, they searched everywhere but couldn't find it, and the younger generation didn't even hear about it.

Liu Junhao is still relatively familiar with artichoke, so as soon as he saw the palm-sized thing in Tongtong's hand, he immediately recalled it. But then he began to wonder where these guys had found them, as if they weren't growing them near his yard. It won't be the puddle behind the courtyard, this is possible, the puddle is more than ten acres in size, and there are not only reeds growing in it but also artemisia grass more than one person high, Liu Junhao is fine. Even in the past, they would not deliberately burrow into the artemisia grass to see if there was artichoke.

"This thing can be eaten raw, I want to wash a ......" As soon as the little girl heard that it could be eaten, she immediately took out the artichoke in her pocket.

"My silly girl, do you think you put your clothes in your pockets when they're so dirty?" Zhao Weihong had a headache and stepped forward to help.

"Haoyu asked me to put it back," the little girl was reprimanded and did not forget to sue the black.

Three times five divided by two, those pieces of artichoke were cleaned. This thing was very inconspicuous just now, but when it was revealed, it looked cute. The pieces are milky white, and they are placed in white porcelain plates like rockeries made of jade. Not to mention eating, just looking at it makes people comfortable.

"It's delicious, it's the same as Sydney" As soon as it was washed, Xiao Tongtong couldn't wait to grab a piece and stuff it into her mouth. Children love sweets, and this artichoke tastes crisp and sweet, which is very suitable for her taste.

A few adults saw that the little girl ate so sweetly, and they also went up and broke a small piece. After eating, I thought it was very good.

"Didn't Liu Junhao say that this can be stir-fried and eaten. Let's dig some and eat them as a dish at noon. After Zhang Qian tasted it, she had the idea of digging. Originally, she wanted Zhao Weidong and others to rest in the courtyard, and she and her husband went to dig together, but who knew that the remaining few people had the intention of doing it.

So, a large group of people rushed towards the back of the courtyard with Tongtong. The previous guess was correct, and the little girl led them all the way into the puddle. Hearing the sound of people talking, Xiao Jianhui over there had already shouted loudly: "Auntie, uncle, come here quickly, we found a kind of treasure." ”

"We found it, or Goku helped find it." Ozawa followed suit.

……

"Look, this is the artichoke leaf" Liu Junhao followed the sound for more than ten meters, and soon found a nest of artichokes. It is said that this plant does not grow low, but it grows in the yellow artemisia bushes, and it is robbed of light and fat by the yellow artemisia, so it looks quite thin.

"I think I knew about this last year," Professor Zhao exclaimed in surprise. Last fall, he didn't know where his soybean beans had gone, so he went into a puddle of water to find it and stumbled upon the plant. It's a pity that I was in a hurry to find soybeans at the time, so I didn't pay attention to it at all. Now follow Liu Junhao's hand. He realized he was missing out on a delicacy.

"Uncle Liu, can you eat that thing, Wukong has eaten a lot, and I won't listen to me if I take it?" When Xiao Haoyu saw the adult, he immediately shouted excitedly.

"You can eat it," Liu Junhao nodded. When he saw the scenery in front of him, he realized that Tongtong was not blowing just now, and there were indeed enough artichokes in this field. I didn't even know it when I was so close, it was too much.

"Let's dig it, the rhizome of the artichoke is relatively shallow, and you can dig it with a small stick. However, when you dig, you should pay attention not to dig it all at once, and you must keep a part, otherwise the artichokes in this place should be extinct again. With Liu Junhao's order, several people began to get busy. Strictly speaking, now is not the best time to eat artichokes, and it is not until the month when the thing matures.

Zhao Weidong and others still enjoy the fun of labor, of course, provided that they are not too tired. After a while, everyone had mud in their hands, and now Zhao Weihong can't care about teaching his daughter a lesson.

Liu Junhao saw that there were already a lot of artichokes dug and stopped them, and a few people were still a little unsatisfied, mainly because this artichoke was too easy to dig and didn't take any effort at all. Liu Junhao took great pains to dig up two nests with leaves, and was ready to plant them in his yard later, so that he could take local materials when he wanted to eat them in the future.

A few little guys didn't pick up much of the shell, but found the artichoke, which was not in vain.

At noon, it was naturally fried meat with artichokes, Zhang Qian didn't let Professor Zhao and them go home to be busy, saying that the two families could simply eat together, so lively.

Although the kitchen of Liu Junhao's house is not small, he can't get involved at all when he goes in. Zhang's mother asked how to fry the artichokes, and then drove him outside.

In order to welcome the guests, Zhang Qian specially went to the town in the morning to cut fresh pork and beef. In normal times, this local pork fed with grain will definitely make everyone praise a few words. But it's useless today, everyone's chopsticks are all on the top of the ginger. Except for Liu Junhao, the rest of the people ate this thing for the first time, and they felt very fresh. What's more, this artichoke does taste good. Liu Junhao hasn't eaten this for more than ten years, and now he suddenly feels delicious when he eats it. But he's the host, and he's embarrassed to grab food from the guests. Helpless, just eat meat.

A few little guys didn't care about the eyes of the adults at all, and one by one they took chopsticks and pulled them in the bowl, picking out the artichokes. In less than half an hour, the big bowl of artichoke was picked clean, and only slices of meat were left in it.

"Xiao Hao, this artichoke is good, I've only seen this thing once in another place, do you think there is any intention of large-scale planting?" After eating, a few people sat under the tree to enjoy the shade, and Professor Zhao suddenly asked.

"I can't say for sure" Liu Junhao thought for a while, and finally shook his head. He naturally understood what the old man wanted to express, after all, this thing was fresh and tasted good, and if it was planted on a large scale in the village, it should be very marketable.

"Artichoke does have a lot of advantages, just like the lotus vegetables in the pool. As long as you don't dig up the roots, you can dig them every year. But the key is that the yield of this thing is too low, if it is planted too densely, the artichoke will not be as big as an egg, so it is not suitable for large-scale cultivation. And it is easy to suffer from black root disease, artichoke is to eat rhizomes, if you have this disease, you don't even dare to use pesticides. ”

"It seems that I am arbitrary, there is naturally an internal reason for a crop to be eliminated," the old man nodded after listening to his analysis. He has been dealing with fruit trees all his life, and naturally knows that plants with high economic value often come with huge risks, and ordinary farmers simply do not have such courage. As a new vegetable, artichoke also needs a process to be introduced to the public's table, and anything may occur in the process of market breeding, and the people in the village can't afford to toss it at all.

"But this artichoke tastes good. It's also good to plant some in each house. "Things can't be rushed, it's impossible to eat a fat man in one bite, you can only figure it out slowly. Professor Zhao is very confident that after this artichoke is slowly recognized by tourists, its economic value will naturally come out.

In the afternoon, the hairy boy came to play, and Liu Junhao deliberately took a piece of artichoke for him to eat, but this guy said that he didn't dare to eat anything, and said that it was ginger, and Liu Junhao wanted to trick him into eating it.

"You bear child, you don't know how to ask for good things, if you don't eat it, I'll eat it yourself." He said "click" and took a bite.

"It's really good to eat...... You swallow it, I'll see" This guy was quite cautious, and he had to watch Liu Junhao eat it until he ate it in his stomach before he moved.

Hairy children usually don't have so many hearts, Liu Junhao is very confused. He had forgotten that Professor Zhao and the others also thought it was ginger when they first saw it. Except for the difference in color between this thing and ginger, it is very similar in other places, and people can't help but guard against it.

The guy ate two pieces of artichoke, and soon went into the woods with Xiao Haoyu to pick up wild eggs.

"Xiao Hao, didn't my parent Lin come?" Half an hour later, Liu Junqi came to the door.

"Ah, I went to play in the woods just now, what are you looking for him?" Liu Junhao asked curiously.

"The root of his ears itched again, and he didn't expect to move at all, so let him come to your house to pick a few watermelons and eat them back, but he waited at home for more than half an hour and didn't move, I guess he just forgot to play." He explained with a wry smile, knowing that he had come here in person just now.

"You wait, I'll pick it for you," Liu Junhao said, turning around and going to the backyard.

"This is artichoke?" Liu Junqi sat on the edge of the flower pond, and when he turned his head, he saw two nests of newly planted plants beside him. When he first saw it, he was obviously stunned, as if Liu Jiagou hadn't seen this thing for several years.

"You know each other," Professor Zhao asked, nodding.

"Well, when I was a child, I planted a lot of it in the village, but then I dug it up. Where did you find it, and did you find any more? Liu Junqi immediately moved his mind to plant.

"Hehe, we also found it in the puddle behind the courtyard just now, we dug a lot in the morning, if you want to eat, wait to get some back." Zhang Qian is not a stingy person, seeing that he is very interested, he took the initiative to speak.

"Well, I haven't eaten in more than ten years. I kind of miss artichoke. By the way, I'll leave some in the autumn, and I'm going to plant a few nests in the yard. I had this idea the year before last, but after asking a few villages, there are no people now. I'm still thinking that I'm afraid I won't be able to eat artichokes in my life......"

About artichoke.,I didn't check the information when I wrote this chapter.,When I finished writing and uploading, I found that I was very ignorant.,It turns out that this thing is very famous.。 It's been uploaded, and I can only make slight changes to the original chapter, so I'm really sorry. But I'm very puzzled, we don't seem to see this thing there, I remember when I used to go to school and brought artichokes to my tablemates, and he thought it was ginger at the time, and I also referred to this situation when I wrote it. Hehe, there are also people on Baidu who ask what artichoke is, so I can only explain it so reluctantly, this thing is really rare in some places, and it just so happens that these people have never seen it
