Chapter 143: Little Snake Flower
Hey, Uncle Liu, look what this is, is it a mushroom, very Tongtong paid attention to the surrounding grass while walking, and the traces of the shell could be seen from time to time.
She was picking a husk from a blade of grass, when suddenly a dark green straw hat resembled something grew on the ground, and there was a lot of snakeskin like a net around her neck.
"What's wrong?" Liu Junhao thought that he had something good, but who knew that he rushed over to take a look and smiled: "This is called Little Snake Flower, nothing good-looking." ”
This thing is not very rare in Liujiagou, it can be seen in some humid places almost every year, and it is a small piece as soon as it comes out.
According to the older generation in the village, the snake lays its eggs in the mound, and after a while, the snake eggs will hatch, and then slowly grow small snakes, which have grown into dark green straw hats, and there are small snakes crawling out of it.
Liu Junhao also felt very scared after hearing it when he was a child, and faintly felt that there were small snakes crawling in this thing. In order to prevent the little snake flower from growing snakes, he always strikes first every time he sees it. Use a small wooden stick to dig out the small snake flower from the soil and step on it.
But this thing seems to be digging endlessly, and every time it just digs up the ground, it grows a lot more in two days.
Later, he got into trouble, so he dug all the way down the root of this thing, and saw a lot of snake eggs like small eggs, soft to the touch, and after picking the snake eggs with a wooden stick, they were all crystal clear and gelatinous at all.
That's when he realized that the story was a lie. It's just that later I got used to it, and when I saw the little snake flower, I always couldn't help but dig it with a small stick.
"It's so pretty, I'll pick two." Tongtong was very interested in this thing, so he carefully squatted on the ground and pulled out two plants and held them in his hands.
Although the sun is already hot at this time. But the woods are full of greenery. Therefore, the three of them did not feel hot or dry.
All the way through. The chickens and ducks kept screaming and gathered around. were all beaten away by Liu Junhao with a bamboo pole.
But Xiao Haoyu was full of interest. From time to time, I took out the knowledge and teased. Hang them far behind.
It is said that this forest has almost become a breeding ground for him and Professor Zhao. Those chickens and ducks are usually idle and have nothing to do here. Catch a grasshopper. Catch a spot.
There are not a few steps. The bunnies also popped out. Running around a few people as if they were having fun. Even Tongtong reached out to hug them and didn't dodge.
It took an hour to walk around the forest. Fifty or sixty were caught in the iron bucket. And that's not even counting the chickens and ducks just fed.
"Grandpa, you see that Uncle Liu helped us catch a lot of knowledge!" Far away, Xiao Haoyu ran forward with an iron bucket to ask for credit.
"You guys are going to mess around, your Uncle Liu still has something to do." Although Professor Zhao reprimanded, he was kind.
"What's the nonsense," Tongtong was rather angry, "we caught and fed the chicks, let them grow quickly, and then lay lots and lots of eggs." ”
"Okay, what you said is reasonable...... Professor Zhao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the thing in her hand and asked, "Tongtong, where did you find this thing, let grandpa take a look." ”
"I saw it in the woods just now, there are a lot of them, Uncle Liu said it's called Little Snake Flower." Tongtong handed it over as if offering a treasure.
"A lot?" He looked at it as if he had seen some rare treasure.
"Don't taste it, this thing isn't a mushroom, it's poisonous." Liu Junhao saw that he stretched out his hand and tore a small piece and was about to put it in his mouth to taste, so he was startled and hurriedly stopped.
"This thing is really poisonous, shouldn't it?" Professor Zhao looked at him again and looked at him very confused.
"That...... I also heard from the people in the village, no one has ever tasted this thing at all......" Liu Junhao explained.
"Have you ever heard anyone eat poisoning?" Professor Zhao asked.
"Not really."
Khan, what is this called, knowing that it is poisonous, who would be stupid to pick a few and taste it, isn't that a brain disease.
"Do you know what its scientific name is?" Professor Zhao spread it out in the palm of his hand again.
"I don't know, I only know that the name of the soil is Little Snake Flower," he really doesn't know.
"Let me tell you, this thing is called bamboo, and it is called 'the flower of the mountain' and the 'queen of fungi'. It is very nutritious and delicious, and it has been listed as one of the "eight treasures of grass" since ancient times, and it is a royal tribute, and it is also an indispensable mountain treasure in the current state banquet. You know what the price of wild embroidery > is, it is equivalent to gold. ”
Listening to Professor Zhao's words, Liu Junhao was almost stunned.
Is this thing worth that much? Equivalent to gold!
"Take me to see it, and I'll take a closer look." Professor Zhao has eaten artificially cultivated bamboo several times, and they are all sent by his own students.
At that time, he didn't know what it was, but after listening to the student's explanation, he looked up a lot of information to figure out the origin of Takechi. This wild is the first time I have seen it, according to the book, it is a kind of cryptoflora fungus parasitic on the roots of withered bamboo, and generally grows in bamboo forests.
But these bamboos
It was in the woods, so he was a little unsure.
"I'll take you, I'll take you there......" Tongtong immediately took his hand and rushed forward.
Equal to gold, equal to gold! Liu Junhao still hasn't come back to it.
If this little snake flower is really embroidered, then it is not > to know gold and jade. He didn't dig up this thing when he was a child, and according to Professor Zhao, he was playing with gold.
Tongtong remembered where the little snake flower was, and led everyone to their destination without difficulty.
The embroidered > that has grown into a dark green cap on its head, and the snow-white stalk is covered with a snakeskin-like net, which looks very beautiful.
There are also many caps on the ground that have cracked out of the soil and are pink in the sun.
"It should be embroidered >, good guy, this is wild, hurry up and pick it, and make you a crispy embroidered fish > lunch at noon." Professor Zhao looked at it again and again, and finally nodded in affirmativeness.
So a large group of people began to squat on the ground and get busy, this bamboo seems to be a lot, but when it is not dug up, especially Professor Zhao repeatedly told the newly unearthed not to move.
"Weigh it." When everyone found the forest, Professor Zhao asked him to weigh it by hand.
"Six or seven taels" Liu Junhao's feel is that the more he practiced, the stronger he became, and when he weighed small items, the error was very small.
"I'm afraid that after drying, I will weigh half a catty, a catty of bamboo and a tael of gold. This half catty is worth more than a thousand fast, shall we eat it or sell it? Professor Zhao is a little reluctant now.
"Let's eat it" Liu Junhao was interested, and he wanted to taste what this legendary royal tribute was like. The next time I see Pang Xu, I can blow a little, but I have eaten the royal tribute.
Although Professor Zhao was 90% sure that this was bamboo, he immediately called an old classmate of his who studied fungi after returning to inquire, and finally took a few more photos and uploaded them from the Internet.
The classmate quickly called to confirm that it was a wild bamboo, it turned out that this thing not only grows in the embroidery forest, but also on other plants, but because of environmental restrictions, it is relatively rare. The recently developed three-dimensional cultivation technology of corn interplanting and embroidery > is to sow embroidery > and corn at the same time, and use corn stalks to shade and moisturize bamboo eggs.
This is also considered to be a dual-purpose project, as bamboo culture material can improve the soil and thus increase crop yields.
In the end, the old classmate still yelled at him not to eat, he wanted to pay for it to buy it back for research.
"You do a ghost study, don't think I don't know you want to buy it back and eat it." Professor Zhao knew what the hell his classmate was fighting.
Mr. Wang has cooked with bamboo a few times, so he is also familiar with the road. She soaked the embroidery > in water and washed it, then cut it into small pieces and continued to rinse, and then halved the large grass carp selected by Liu Junhao, and chopped the net fish meat into dumpling filling.
Sprinkle with salt and seasonings, stir well, put the minced fish meat into the bamboo, and dip it in egg liquid, sesame seeds, etc.
When everything is ready, put the bamboo fish in the oil pan and fry it until golden brown and ready to come out of the pan.
When the crispy bamboo fish was ready, Mr. Wang specially asked Liu Junhao to call Zhang Qian and bring her over to try it.
This dish tastes refreshing, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and has a strong aroma in the mouth.
Liu Junhao chewed slowly while calculating in his heart how many grams of gold he would eat in one bite.
After eating, he went into the house to check what this bamboo was, and checked that he was really a little white, and the information about bamboo was everywhere on the Internet.
Khan, for so many years, the people in the village have really guarded the golden rice bowl and asked for food, who is the rumor that this little snake flower is poisonous!
After checking the information, he pondered planting some bamboo in his yard.
This thing is really delicious to eat, and it is rich in nutrients, if you can grow some of it, it will be convenient for you to eat it in the future. Thinking of this, he began to look up bamboo planting techniques on the Internet again.
It doesn't seem to be a complicated technique, just get some strains.
He did what he said, and immediately ran outside to discuss with everyone.
Professor Zhao also had the intention of researching, so he naturally nodded in agreement, so the two of them carried the shovel to dig up the fungus buds and mycelium in the woods.
They didn't have the time to make the culture material according to the steps mentioned on the Internet, but directly used an iron shovel to embroider > dig up the clods directly with the clods, ready to transplant them back.
According to the Internet, this embroidery > is easier to grow in the embroidery forest. Professor Zhao planted them directly in his own bamboo forest, and then covered the edges with thorns to prevent other domestic animals from trampling them.
And Liu Junhao buried a lot of embroidered leaves in the plot, of course, he also secretly put a lot of them in the stone lock, ready to wait for a comparative test.
My spring water may also have an effect on fungi, so I will send one or two catties to Zhang Qian's parents after planting.
Embroidered > is equivalent to gold, and it is absolutely high-grade to give gifts.
This has just been planted, and he is already looking forward to the future
