Chapter 123: Something Rare
"Brother, it is not very difficult to reclaim our family's terraces, but if it is completed according to your plan, the area is too large and it will take too much time."
Wanjun looked at the few acres of terraced fields that had just been cultivated, frowned slightly, and said to Wang Qiang.
This afternoon, Wanjun took her sister and Chen Lin to follow Wang Qiang up the mountain to carry out the reclamation of the terraced fields at home.
After an hour of hard work, everyone sat down under a large camphor tree and began to rest.
The four siblings had just drunk a pot of Qingshen tea with a few drops of spiritual liquid imposed by Wang, and they quickly eliminated all fatigue and returned to their peak state.
Wanjun thought for a while and began to express her opinion: "In my opinion, the reclamation of the terraces at home is not in a hurry, and our brothers and sisters can take their time in the future." ”
"My idea is to stop and buy some fruit trees or crops that my family needs after the three-story terraces have been cultivated, and plant them first."
"In this way, these planted fruit trees and crops this year will save a lot of time for growth and development, and some crops will have at least one harvest this year."
"Presumably, with the passage of time, the development of our tea city will become faster and faster, and the agricultural products grown should not be sold."
"Brother, what do you say?"
Wan Jun said, a pair of big watery eyes, staring at Wang Qiang and asked.
"Wanjun, what you said is completely feasible!"
Wang Qiang originally had this plan, but now his sister said it, "Since May Day, I have reclaimed two more layers of terraces, plus this layer that has been reclaimed from today, that is, the new three-story terraces will be reclaimed." ”
"After a few days, after this layer of terraced fields has been reclaimed by our brothers and sisters, I want to go to the persimmon town in our tea city to buy the seedlings and seeds of their most famous persimmon trees and Malinggua."
"I plan to plant these three layers of cultivated terraces with one layer of persimmon trees and two layers of Maling melons."
He already has some plans in the past few days, "Actually, I want to plant all the three-story terraced fields with Maling melons, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to buy so many seeds and melon seedlings." ”
"That Maling melon, it's so delicious, it's much better than other watermelons, it's really crispy and sweet, and it melts in your mouth."
"When I was five years old, my father bought one, and I only ate it once, Wanyu and Wanling had just been born at that time, and Wanjun, you were only two years old and hadn't come to my house yet, so you don't have any impression."
"Because the yield of Maling melon is too low, few people are planting it now, and it is almost impossible to see it."
Wang Qiang paused and continued, "A few days ago, I inquired at the farmers' market, and someone told me that in Hongyan Village, Persimmon Town, there are still more than a dozen villagers who are going to plant Maling melons this year after dividing their fields into households. ”
"However, they also plan to plant other crops next year."
"It would be a pity if such a delicious Maling melon would become extinct in our south."
Namaling melon is an oblong watermelon with yellow skin, yellow-green skin, golden flesh, black and large melon seeds, but few in number.
A Maling melon, the largest will not exceed ten catties, and the smallest is only one or two catties. …
One acre of melon land, after ripening, Maling melon, less than five catties accounted for the vast majority.
This kind of Maling melon is not the kind of Maling melon that produces melon seeds in the north, and it has nothing to do with the place called Maling in the north and south.
Its place of origin, only about 100 miles away from the tea city, is a specialty of an ancient mountain village called Maling Village.
Hundreds of years ago, because it was so delicious, it spread to several nearby counties.
However, the yield of this super delicious watermelon is too low, not even one-tenth of the average watermelon yield.
Moreover, the skin is very thin and brittle, about the thickness of a blank piece of paper, which is difficult to transport.
When it is ripe, you only need to touch the skin lightly with a sharp object, and it will crack immediately.
This kind of melon, which is easier to break than eggs, is a great problem to transport, and in the process of transportation, the force of the vibration is greater, and it will explode immediately!
Therefore, when cutting Maling melon, the knife must be sharp and the action must be fast to be able to cut the Maling melon into slices.
It is precisely because of various restrictions that there are not many places where Maling melon is grown, and its reputation has not spread too far, only in a few nearby counties.
Rao is Wang Qiang's two lives, and the most delicious watermelon he has ever eaten is this Maling melon.
The famous unicorn melon in later generations is more than eight streets worse than Maling melon.
And in the 21st century, unicorn melon is also a very delicious watermelon.
It can be seen that this kind of Maling melon is so delicious!
However, in the memory of later generations, before entering the nineties, this incomparably delicious Maling melon is truly extinct, can no longer be tasted, and dissipates in people's increasingly faint memories.
After obtaining the golden finger, Wang Qiang had an early idea that he had to preserve this peerless and delicious original watermelon variety.
Now, it is the time for this late-maturing Maling melon to raise seedlings, and he plans to go to the countryside in the next few days to buy some melon seedlings and seeds back.
The reason why he wanted to buy the melon seeds of this Maling melon was that he wanted to use a diluted spiritual liquid, soak the melon seeds sufficiently, and then start raising seedlings to see if he could improve and improve the quality of the Maling melon.
If you succeed, you will be able to do so from now on
This chapter is not finished, please click to continue reading! Page 1 of 2 will add a super delicious melon fruit.
In the past few years, with the great economic development, the Malinggua in several nearby counties has been completely eliminated, and only their own ones are available in the world.
At that time, it could be called a peerless delicacy.
"Marlingua?"
"And this watermelon?"
"We haven't really heard the name yet." ……
Wang Qiang's words fell, and the three younger sisters looked puzzled.
"Malinggua? I've eaten it twice! ”
Chen Lin said on the side, "My mother sets up a stall to sell herbal tea at the bridgehead of the Chajiang Bridge every summer, and she meets melon farmers who come into the city several times a year to sell Maling melons.
"Because the skin of Maling melons is too thin and brittle, those melon farmers use board carts to cushion thick straw and pull it from persimmon town to the county seat on foot to sell."
"My mother also likes to eat it very much, so even if it is a little more expensive, I have bought it a few times, but every time I pick one or two catties or so of Pony melon." …
"Maling melons are very expensive, the price per catty is about the same as pork, but they are very easy to sell, those who sell melons, generally as long as they pull the melons to the Yangtze River bridge, they are surrounded and robbed, and they can't reach the market at all."
She looked up with a little smug face, and after the endless explanation, it immediately caused the twin girls to exclaim!
"Sister Lin'er, you have really eaten such a rare Maling melon!"
"Sister Lin'er, is the Maling melon delicious? Is it as delicious as my brother said? ”……
These two greedy little girls are so envious that they even drool come out.
"Needless to say!" Chen Lin became more and more proud, "It's even more delicious than what Brother Ah Qiang said!" ”
"Maling melon is so crispy, so sweet, the flesh of the melon is golden and yellow, the melon seeds are few but very large, I was not in good health at that time, I couldn't eat anything, but I still ate a ...... by myself for a while."
The more she spoke, the brighter the twin girl's eyes became, and she kept swallowing her saliva, making people want to burst into laughter at the sight of it.
Indeed, even if you are in the tea city, if you want to eat Maling melon once, the difficulty is not small.
The main reason is that the number of plants is too small, the yield is very low, and the transportation is too difficult, plus in the county, Maling melon is too easy to sell.
Melon farmers generally have not yet entered the main street of the county, and the transported Maling melons have been looted.
This requires you to have money and luck, and you happen to meet a melon farmer who sells Maling melons to sell melons in the city, and you have to buy it with your hands and feet to be able to eat it once.
Otherwise, even if you have the money, it will be difficult to buy this peerless delicacy on the street.
