Chapter 354 Alsophila spinulosa and sunflower April

Chapter 350 Five: Alsophila spinulosa
Wei Wei said: "The swallows you mentioned that peck at the mud are barn swallows. Barn swallows use mud to make their nests. Swiftlets belong to the swift family. They use saliva and moss to make their nests."

When Li Junge heard this, he asked curiously: "Use saliva, isn't that the famous tonic bird's nest?"

Wei Wei said: "Yes, the bird's nest is made of swift's salivary gland secretion, but the bird's nest is produced on the island, where the building materials are scarce, so the swifts have to use their own saliva to make the nest, unlike the swallows in Lijiagou, There's plenty of moss to take advantage of."

Li Junge said with a smile: "How do you say the old saying? Save your saliva! Hahahaha..."

Wei Wei looked at the dense nests of swallows in the cave, and sighed, "It's a good thing that's the case. You can't eat such nests, otherwise this cave would not be peaceful."

After the raft was built, Li Junge rowed over with a bamboo pole, pulled a rope on the water, and then rowed the bamboo raft, and asked everyone to get on the raft in batches and pull the rope across together.

When the bamboo raft passed the entrance of the cave, Miao Wa made a discovery, pointed to the water and said, "Teacher Zhang, look!"

Everyone looked into the water, and sure enough, there was a peach blossom fish floating on the water surface, lying sideways on the water surface, wagging its small tail, looking half dead.

Li Junge took down the pot, and when the bamboo raft passed by, he scooped the peach blossom fish into the pot.

The photographer took this shot.

At the other end of the cave, after everyone landed, Li Junge put the pot on the ground, and everyone gathered around to watch.

Peach Blossom Fish was trying hard to straighten itself, one stroke, one stroke, the range of motion became bigger and bigger, and finally that one stroke finally came to life, sank to the bottom of the pot, and collided inside.

Li Junge waited for the photographer to finish shooting, and said, "This fish has a strong temper, so you have to let it go quickly, or it will die soon."

Seeing Li Junge release the fish, Teacher Zhang was really a little scared, and said, "This... is this water really poisonous?"

Professor Ding said: "Don't be nervous. The villagers have lived by the Dushui River for thousands of years, and they have never heard of poisoning. Moreover, this fish can still be eaten. Even if there is toxin, its content will not affect the human body. do not be afraid."

Professor Li said: "It's okay, we brought inspection equipment this time, Zhaowa, to check the water quality and see if there is any problem."

Lin Zhao took out a portable inspection instrument from his backpack, checked it and said, "No problem, the water quality is quite good, and the organic matter is much less than what was collected in the Swallow Cave just now, and it has reached the drinking water standard."

Professor Ding said: "This is easy to understand. There are tens of thousands of swallows in the swallow cave, and there are so many feces excreted into the water every day. It is strange that there is not much organic matter there."

A group of people continued to walk up the mountain stream, and when they passed through the spinulus forest, the trio from the Agricultural University began to check the growth of the forest.

Professor Li grabbed a handful of humus soil, pinched it vigorously, and a couple of drops of water dripped from the palm of his hand, and said: "The harsh requirements on temperature and humidity are a major obstacle to the growth of C. It is too long, it will take more than a year, and the unsuitable temperature and humidity during this period will lead to the death of the spinosa seedlings, but if the environment is suitable, through spore tissue culture technology, it can actually reproduce in large numbers."

Li Junge was dumbfounded: "Wait...Professor Li, why do these words sound like they are trying to trick me?"

Professor Ding laughed: "It's just your idea! This thing doesn't require much fertilizer, and it doesn't have any diseases and insect pests. As long as it goes through the embryonic development period in a suitable environment, it can be widely planted in Lijiagou. , this can't do anything for you, and it can protect rare plants, so why not do it?"

Li Junge said: "Professor Ding, do you think there are still people idle in my Lijiagou? I'm too busy with my own work!"

Professor Li said: "In this way, it's really not good to just let the villagers contribute. Let's appeal to the province to see how much money we can get, and how much money we have to do big things. Piwa is the head office, right?"

Li Junge smiled embarrassedly: "Professor Li, it's really not about money. Otherwise, let Uncle Wangcai try it in Lanchang first. If it succeeds, we will include it in next year's plan and arrange it. No?"

Professor Ding said: "It seems that we can only do this first, but Piwa, this thing is not bad to make, it is a horticultural ornamental plant with high value, and it is also a medicinal material. It is also the best choice for cultivating epiphytes such as Dendrobium orchid It is a good carrier and has high economic value.”

Having said all this, Li Junge could only nod in agreement. Fortunately, this thing costs nothing, and the equipment and materials are all ready-made. The spores can be collected in this forest when they are mature, and they can be transplanted on a large scale. By the time, it was already a few years later.

There is still a lot of time wasted here, mainly because the three-person team of the Agricultural University found a lot of undergrowth seedlings, and a tree of Cymbidium spinosa covers an area of ​​five square meters. The plants died after taking away the growing space, so everyone transplanted these undergrowth seedlings again. By the time the work was done, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

So he could only speed up, rush to Merlin, and camp there.

The food is just enough, but fortunately, there are so many wild vegetables along the road, not to mention ferns. When passing by a grass, Uncle Yaoshi also picked some thicker stems, long fluffy and big leaves. .

Wei Wei is from the north and has never seen this before, so she asked, "Uncle Medicine Master, what kind of wild vegetable is this?"

Uncle Yaoshi said: "It's really hard to say whether this is a wild vegetable or a domestic vegetable. Like the blood-skin vegetable, we also grow it in the fields, and we can encounter it in the wild from time to time."

Li Junge said with a smile: "Actually, you should be very familiar with this dish. It's just that you have memorized it in the book. If you don't know it is it, this dish is called Donghancai, and its scientific name is sunflower dish. In the era when there was no cabbage, it It is the main vegetable of the Chinese people. It can be harvested three times a year. The ones planted in June are called 'Xia Kui', the ones planted in September are called 'Okra', and the ones planted in the first month are called 'Mallow'. The status is similar to that of Chinese cabbage now. .”

Wei Wei was surprised: "It's so powerful?"

Li Junge said: "That is, from the earliest "Zhou Li", "Zuo Zhuan", to "Book of Songs", "Yuefu", and then to Tang Poetry and Song Ci, there are so many of them."

Weiwei said, "Really? Why don't I know anything about it?"

Li Junge laughed loudly: "'The sunflowers in the green garden, the morning dew waits for the sun.', you should have memorized it? And "Fifteen Congjung" first said "Sunflowers born in the well", and then "Picking sunflowers and holding them for soup" ; In Bai Juyi's "Cooking Sunflowers", "There is no such thing as a poor cook, cooking rice and cooking okra." It's all about it."

Weiwei opened her mouth wide: "When our teacher told us 'Sunflowers in the Green Garden', he accompanied them with pictures of sunflowers."

Li Junge smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do about it, wrong teaching and learning, but now the teachers are of a higher level, so they shouldn't make this kind of mistake again, right?"

Uncle Pharmacist shook his head: "It's hard to say, it's said in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", 'People don't eat it anymore, and they don't have seeds.' I guess we are more familiar with it in the southwest area."

Weiwei took some pictures with her mobile phone and sent them on WeChat, saying: "I need to popularize this for everyone, hahaha, stop memorizing that poem as a sunflower."

Li Junge smiled and said: "Don't say that sunflowers and sunflowers really have similar characteristics. The so-called 'leaves leaning toward the sun to cover their roots. It is the leaves rather than the flowers, which is why modern people tend to confuse sunflowers with sunflowers."

Teacher Zhang said with a smile: "Erpi, you really should add these to the wild vegetable identification signs in those valleys, the ancient names of various wild vegetables, the poems that record them, and the stories that happened to them. I think it is very interesting. !"

The trio from the Agricultural University couldn't stop nodding, saying that Mr. Zhang's idea was good. In the future, when people bring their children to Lijiagou to pick wild vegetables, they can also increase their knowledge.

Li Junge, of course, is good at what he does, and he will do it when he promises to go back.

When they arrived at Meilin, Uncle Yaoshi and Miao Wa found some fungus-like things on several big rocks.

This is stone fungus, which is much harder than fungus.

Uncle Pharmacist said: "Good stuff, stewed chicken is the best, nourishes yin and moistens lungs, clears away heat and cools blood, but tonight we can only mix bracken."

Li Junge said: "This thing is very particular, and it won't taste good without ginger. I will make a ginger juice mixed with bracken later."

When it was time to camp, Li Junge boiled a big pot of porridge with winter vegetables and bacon, and made a ginger juice with stone fungus mixed with bracken, and everyone dealt with it like this.

The green sunflower porridge looked pleasing to the eye, and it was fragrant to drink, Wei Wei said: "This sunflower porridge is delicious, and it seems that the porridge has become slippery."

Uncle Pharmacist said: "Weiwei is really right. The ancients discovered that its mucus can increase the lubricity of soup and porridge. The ancient Taoists would eat sunflower once every ten days to reconcile the five internal organs."

Professor Ding said with a smile to Professor Li: "Then you can drink two more bowls, maybe you will be promoted."

After dinner, it was still early, and everyone was walking in the woods again. The leaves of the plum trees in the plum grove had already bloomed, and there were plums the size of little fingertips on the treetops, which were very cute and fluffy.

Uncle Yaoshi smiled and said, "It's a bit early for Meizi to get up, otherwise Weiwei will have a good time again."

Li Junge said with a smile: "When I entered the mountain in April, I was afraid that there would be no fruit to eat? We only found mulberry and so on. We went to pick April mulberry."

It was getting dark now, and they were idle anyway, so everyone wandered along the valley, and soon came to a sunny slope.

We saw a plant here, a dense clump, covering an area of ​​two meters square, with thin branches, many thorns on it, small serrations on the edge of the leaves, and small red berries hanging on it.

Li Junge said: "Look, the ripe one on this tree is enough for all our people to eat."

Everyone began to pick the fruit happily, and Teacher Zhang asked while picking and returning: "Piwa, what is this?"
