Chapter Eighty-Nine: Uncommon
The twins' voices not only shocked Shen Yinian, but also made her forget to put down her raised feet.
And at the same time, it shocked the fans off the screen.
So in the next second, the screen was densely swiped with barrages, and even a bamboo leaf could not be seen.
"I'm rubbing! Did I hear it right! Bamboo can actually bear fruit! ”
"Oh my God! Are we witnessing history! ”
"I don't read much, don't lie to me! There is a piece of bamboo planted in the back of my yard, I have lived in my hometown for 18 years, how come I have never seen bamboo fruit?? ”
"I'm rubbing, this bamboo cliff has mutated! Chen Lao wet run! ”
"Maybe it's a seed left by aliens, specially used to lure humans!"
"My jaw can't be fitted back! Bamboo turned out to be the first time I've heard of it! ”
"Earth is too dangerous, I want to go back to Mars!"
“……”
Chen Er was carefully observing the bamboo forest in front of him, so he didn't explain it to the fans first, but after listening to what they said at this moment, Chen Er still couldn't help but laugh a little.
He coughed lightly to bring everyone's attention back.
Tea eggs invade the earth: "Everyone be careful! Chen Laoshi is going to start pretending to be spicy again! ”
Chen Er waved his hand and motioned for the camera to give a slow-motion close-up of this bamboo forest first, so that everyone could see clearly what the actual bamboo looked like.
"That's right, bamboo can blossom and bear fruit."
"The fruit of bamboo is called bamboo, also known as bamboo rice."
"But it's hard to see the phenomenon of bamboo blossoming and fruiting."
"Because, once the bamboo blossoms and bears fruit, it means that its life has come to an end."
As Chen Er said this, he looked up at the bamboo above his head.
The bamboo leaves are verdant green, and the rich color is like a liquid about to drip down.
Decades or hundreds of years of life have all been turned into blossoms and fruits in these few days.
Perhaps it is precisely because it has come to the end of its life that it is so green and beautiful, as if it has been painted with a lifetime of color.
Chen Er stretched out his finger and lightly touched the green bamboo.
Although bamboo is common, bamboo flowering is not common.
Bamboo has a long flowering and fruiting period, ranging from ten, twenty, fifty, or even one hundred years.
That's why Chen Er said that this is a once-in-a-century spectacle.
It is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that "bamboo changes its roots in sixty years, and the roots must give birth to flowers, and the flowers must bear fruit, and the fruits will wither, and they will be reborn after they fall." ”
Different species of bamboo have different flowering years.
It takes about 30 years for Oyondra and Banna sweet bamboos to bloom, 32 years for bamboos and horse-vest bamboos to bloom, and more than 80 years for some species of bamboos to bloom.
And some of the more special bamboos have a longer flowering time.
For example, Chen Er, the piece in front of them.
"This piece of bamboo is cinnamon bamboo, and it takes one hundred and twenty years to blossom and bear fruit."
After Chen Er finished speaking, almost all the fans outside the screen had the same expression as Shen Yinian.
"It took 120 years to blossom! Hold the grass, this seniority, older than my grandfather! ”
"In other words, this time I saw it, it was the last time I saw it in my life?"
"I'm rubbing, I'm going to buy a ticket to Anji to see it!"
"Hurry up and take a screenshot!"
"I don't know why I suddenly thought of ginseng fruit and peach......"
Chen Er continued, "There are more beautiful legends about Takeshi. ”
In the "Zhuangzi", it is said, "The Fu Hu is born in the South China Sea, and flies in the North Sea, not only the sycamore, but not the practice, the food, the non-liquor, the spring does not drink." ”
The meaning of this sentence is that the phoenix is not a sycamore, it does not rest, it is not the fruit of bamboo that it does not eat, and it is not a sweet spring water that does not drink.
Chen Er opened his backpack as he spoke, and began to take out the tools.
"So, today let's also taste what it is like to eat the fruit that this phoenix eats."
Li Shuyue and Li Shuxing stood next to Shen Yinian and were already stunned.
It was as if the door to a new world was opened in an instant.
When the two of them saw Chen Er take out his tools, they hurriedly walked over. It seems that he wants to follow along.
Chen Er waved his hand at the two of them, "Today's ingredient is very precious, and I can only see it once in a hundred and twenty years, so I'll make it for you first, and then the two of you will make it according to my instructions, so as not to waste the ingredients." ”
Li Shuyue and Li Shuxing glanced at each other, but they were unexpectedly quiet and did not refute Chen Er out loud.
I don't know if the two of them suddenly opened up, or if Chen Er was talking too seriously just now.
The two of them just quietly followed Chen Er and watched, without even whispering about it.
Shen Yinian couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this situation.
The twins are not the kind of people who will buy it easily, and it is rare to be so quiet at this time.
Chen Er walked slowly in the bamboo forest with a small basket, carefully selecting edible bamboo.
After picking, you don't use a knife or scissors to pick the bamboo, but directly pick it by hand.
"It's important to keep the ingredients fresh, and when you first pick them from the branches, try to pick them by hand, not directly with metal utensils."
After Chen Er picked four bamboo fruits, he didn't pick them again.
One bamboo is not as big as half a fist of Chen Er, and four bamboo are lying in a small bamboo basket, looking very shabby.
Li Shuxing couldn't help but ask Chen Er, "There are four of us in total, if you pick such a small four, I can ......eat them in one bite."
Before he could speak, Li Shuyue hit him on the arm.
Li Shuxing shut up stupidly.
Chen Er didn't care very much, he smiled, but his tone was very serious, "This bamboo is originally a bamboo seed, let's eat less, next spring, maybe a large number of bamboo seedlings will emerge here." ”
Besides, bamboo is already small, if you have to pick enough for four people to eat, how much do you have to pick?
Li Shuxing thought about it carefully, and felt that it seemed to be very reasonable, so he didn't dwell on this issue.
Stared intently at Chen.
Chen Er cleaned the four bamboos and put them on a small plate.
The most common way to make bamboo is to dry and grind it into a powder, and then make it into a cake to eat.
Or just break the fresh bamboo and use it to make pies and steamed cakes.
Bamboo can be said to be the essence of bamboo's life, so the aroma is charming and the nutritional value is also very good.
The "Compendium of Materia Medica" contains: "Bamboo rice, through the gods, light body and qi." ”
It is also contained in "Taiping Guangji": "Its son is coarse, the color is red, and its taste is particularly fragrant." "Precious is better than japonica glutinous rice. Cooked and eaten as a meal, it is not only a rare food but also a health care food, and it is respected as the "nobility of green food".
However, that refers to the relatively small size of bamboo, and the few like the ones Chen Er is picking now, if they are directly used to cook porridge, it is a bit inconvenient.
