Chapter 12 Lishui Four Berries

Early in the morning, the sound of chickens and dogs in the village woke Liu Xiaoyu from his sleep. Sitting up and rubbing his eyes, he yawned a lot, but a big lazy waist, and a hint of chill in the air made Liu Xiaoyu feel shocked.

Wearing pajamas, Liu Xiaoyu took some well water and prepared to wash, and the heart-deep cold air at the entrance of the well water made Liu Xiaoyu spit out the water instantly. Looking at the well water in the cup, he shook his head and honestly changed to tap water and washed up.

After washing, Liu Xiaoyu stood in the courtyard and played the only two sets of punches he knew. The air in the countryside is good, with an oxygen content of 999, and Liu Xiaoyu's body sweated slightly after punching him twice.

Suddenly found that Han Han and Xiaohu didn't know where to go, and hurriedly shouted loudly, with his "affectionate" call, it didn't take long for two dirty little figures to run in from outside the door.

Looking at the wide-open courtyard gate, Liu Xiaoyu touched his head, damn, the door forgot to close. It seems that these two little ones stood outside the door all night last night.

"Okay, I worked hard last night, and I'll give you more food today." Kicking down and rubbing Hanhan and Xiaohu's heads, Liu Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Got up and led the two dogs to the kitchen, looking at the idle stove, "Well, this thing won't be used yet." Liu Xiaoyu sighed and thought.

Wrapping around the bib, a chicken and a duck taken out of the space were tied, and just about to cut their throats with a knife and bleed, Hanhan and Xiaohu barked at him at the same time, and there was a longing in the two pairs of eyes.

"Isn't it, you want to eat live food?" Pointing to the chickens and ducks that were constantly struggling in his hands, Liu Xiaoyu said with some surprise.

"The data shows that the predecessor of dogs evolved from wolves, and it is normal to eat live food, and it can also improve their attacks." The mastermind interjected flatly.

"Yes, anyway, I still expect you to show me the home and nursing home in the future, this is the countryside and won't attract too much attention, you can eat if you want, but you are not allowed to eat in the yard, lest I have to clean up the hair and blood all over the ground." Liu Xiaoyu said and walked out of the kitchen, threw the chicken and duck on the ground outside the courtyard gate and said.

A dog, Hanhan and Xiaohu were very obedient and took the chicken and duck in their mouths and ran out.

"Remember to run farther, and remember to dig a pit for burying the garbage after eating." Liu Xiaoyu shouted at the background of the two dogs.

Turning around and going back to the kitchen, looking at the cold pot and cold stove, Liu Xiaoyu didn't know what he should eat in the morning.

"Alas, there must be gains and losses, although there is no breakfast to sell in the countryside, it seems that it is better to get some porridge to deal with it, well, fry an egg, there should be side dishes in the refrigerator, it is a good breakfast." While comforting himself, he drooled and thought about his favorite tofu brains, fritters, and pancakes.

After Liu Xiaoyu finished breakfast, Hanhan and Xiaohu also came back. There was no sign of the two of them being cruelly devoured alive, with clean mouths and clean claws, and there was no trace at all.

didn't care too much, Liu Xiaoyu walked to the backyard to open the storage room, and continued his great business of feeding chickens and pigs.

I looked at the feeding trough in the chicken pen and found that there was still a lot of feed in it, and the feeding trough in the pigsty had long been clean and slippery.

It seems that the chicken's food is far inferior to that of pigs, so they poured the feed directly into the pigsty, and the two little pigs who were still crawling there and humming immediately ran over, put their heads into the feeding grains and chewed them.

After feeding, Liu Xiaoyu found that the pajamas on his body had died gloriously. took off his pajamas and threw them into the basin, Liu Xiaoyu changed his outfit, a camouflage uniform, which he bought unintentionally and never wore it, and this time it finally came into use.

Back in the bedroom, Liu Xiaoyu made a call to his father and his father Uncle Yao to report their safety, saying that everything was fine, don't worry, keep in touch or something. looked at the time, and estimated that He Laochen's morning exercise was not over, so he didn't call him.

took out his mobile phone and made up a short message and sent it to his colleagues and friends, and then received a lot of replies with different contents, some complained that Liu Xiaoyu left without saying a word, some clamored for him to have dinner, some asked him to organize a trip to the countryside, and some were woken up after sleeping lazily and directly returned the word "sun".

After reading them one by one, Liu Xiaoyu walked out of the bedroom after putting his phone in his hand. Looking at the empty yard, I always feel that something is missing, and after thinking for a long time, I found that there should be some flowers and plants in the yard, and then I got a grape trellis, and when the summer came, I sat under the grape trellis to enjoy the coolness, which was quite good.

I checked it, there were no grapes in the space, only some flower and plant seeds that were thrown in earlier, and then again, it was not enough to have flowers, I didn't buy flower pots, and the yard was all made into cement by Liu Xiaoyu, and there was no place to plant flowers without flower pots. Liu Xiaoyu asked the master to write down the flower pot and grape trellis, and prepared to find time to solve the problem.

Liu Xiaoyu, who had done a good job of planning the yard, walked out of the courtyard door and prepared to go around, this time he remembered to lock the door. One person and two dogs did not turn around Liujia Village, but walked to the mountains behind, where there were still more than ten acres of mountain land belonging to him.

Climbing up the mountainside and looking around, although he had seen it once before, Liu Xiaoyu was still attracted by the pastoral scenery around him, with courtyards scattered under the mountain, and fields full of various crops.

After admiring the perfect view, Liu Xiaoyu asked the mastermind how this mountainous area was made.

"Mastermind, what's going on with this land? The village requires us to plant a certain area of trees in addition to fruit trees. Liu Xiaoyu asked.

"After searching on the Internet, I learned that Lishui County originally had its own four "berry" specialties. The mastermind said first.

"Fourberry? Which four berries are they? Liu Xiaoyu asked.

"It's blackberries, green plums, blueberries, and strawberries." The Mastermind replied.

"So what do you think I'm suitable for?" Liu Xiaoyu continued to ask.

"You can plant it." The mastermind's answer was simple.

"Ugh。。。。。。 I'm still familiar with strawberries, and I've eaten fresh fruit from them, but the other three I've only eaten are either juice or preserved fruit. I've never seen what they look like. Liu Xiaoyu said depressedly.

"In terms of growing season, strawberries and blackberries are the fastest, while blueberries and green plums take three to five years from planting to good yield." As the main brain spoke, he opened the energy screen and showed Liu Xiaoyu the fresh fruit pictures of these four kinds of berries.

"So in terms of economic benefits, which of these four berries is better?" Liu Xiaoyu looked at the energy screen in front of him and said.

From the current data, blueberry fruit is rich in its unique blueberry anthocyanin substance, which has the effect of improving eyesight, anti-aging, and anti-cancer, and is known as "the functional xìng health berry in the 21st century" and "the queen of fruits", and is listed as one of the five major human health foods by the International Food and Agriculture Organization. The size of the blueberry fruit is similar to that of a cherry, with blue sè and bright blue sè, sweet and sour flavor with a special aroma, and excellent taste. In recent years, blueberry fruit has become popular in Europe and the United States, and the product is in short supply and expensive. The domestic market price ranges from 50 to 120 yuan per kilogram according to different qualities, and the development prospects are very promising. The Mastermind said.

"Strawberry, the edible part of its fruit is 95%, the nutrient composition is determined by analysis, the moisture is 80-90%, the sugar is 6-12%, the organic matter is 1-1.5%, the pectin is 1-1.7%, and the protein is 0. 4-0.6%, inorganic salt, crude fiber 1.4%, and rich in phosphorus, calcium, iron and other minerals and vitamins, of which vitamin C contains 50-120 mg per gram of fresh fruit, which is 3 times that of citrus. The nutrients of strawberry fruit are easily absorbed by the human body and have certain medical value, especially a strawberry amine substance, which has a peculiar function in the treatment of leukemia, aplastic anemia and other blood diseases. Therefore, strawberries are recognized as nutritious fruits. At present, the main implementation of facilitative cultivation, sales of fresh fruits, the market period is in the fruit off-season, can be combined with the "plum blossom festival", "picking festival" leisure agricultural tourism, sales are more prosperous. The mastermind continued.

"Green plum is one of the famous fruits of Nanjing, China, with a wide range of uses, unique flavor, rich nutrition, high medicinal value, known as health food, the main processed products are plum, crisp plum, dried plum, plum sauce, plum wine, etc. Because of the easy cultivation, long economic life and low production cost, green plum generally begins to bear fruit in the third year after planting, and enters the full fruit period after 5 years, with a yield of 500-1200 kg per mu, resulting in oversupply in the market, resulting in a saturated market and a low selling price. However, at present, the Fujiabian Plum Garden in Lishui County has become a famous leisure agricultural attraction in Nanjing, and it is a good place for citizens to go out and enjoy the plum blossoms in the season. It can also be combined with the "Plum Blossom Festival" and "Picking Festival" leisure agricultural tourism, and the sales are relatively strong. The Mastermind said.

Blackberry is native to North America, its fruit is purple and black, rich in natural sè, carbohydrates, vitamins and a variety of amino acids, with the characteristics of "high nutrition, high anti-xìng, pollution-free, all-natural", and has the reputation of "life fruit". In addition to fresh food, blackberry berries can also be used to process juice, jelly, fruit wine, jam and other foods, its products are favored by consumers at home and abroad, and the market prospects are broad, but in recent years, because of the fluctuations in the international market, its purchase price is very low. The Mastermind said.

After listening to the mastermind's detailed analysis, Liu Xiaoyu valued the advantages of strawberries and green berries that can be used in combination with the farmhouse, and chose to mainly plant strawberries and green plums, and a small amount of blueberries and blackberries.

The one acre and two acres of land next to his house are used to grow strawberries, and the other three are divided into areas on the mountain. After the benefits are generated, we will cooperate with the village, and then expand the planting of four-berry berries on the one hand, and develop farmhouses on the other hand, I believe that the village will be happy to participate in this project when it sees the actual benefits. Even if he is not happy at that time, Liu Xiaoyu can do it himself, but the scale will not be so large.
