Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 193 Cuscuta
"Yeah." Jiang Shuyi nodded: "If you want to watch it, you can come back and watch it anytime."

Zhou Zhi didn't think of this at all. His thoughts were still in the past. After graduating from university in his last life, he would stay at home every time he returned to his hometown, and he was in a hurry when he left. What he feared most was meeting acquaintances.

Yes, I want to see it, why can't I come back and see it?
After a delicious meal, the friends went down to the rocky beach. There are also many good places for photography, such as the background of reeds, or the reflection of the water surface, as well as the strange-shaped stones washed by the turbulent river in summer.

Even the ferry boat to Zhongba is a nice background.

The ferry boat has a steel hull with a Upon roof, and a boat can only carry fifteen people at a time.

Nowadays, the folk customs are very simple, and I heard that the children came here from Jiachuan to play, so they took the initiative to give up their seats, let Zhou Zhi and the others land on the island first, and they sat down.

The ferry draws a small arc and slowly goes up against the current. In fact, it only took a few minutes to cross the river channel on this side where the current is relatively slow and cannot be used by large ships. He stopped at the edge of the rocky beach.

Just after jumping off the boat, Zhou Zhi found something by the water.

Some hole bricks were thrown in the stone crevices by the water, and thin hemp ropes were tied to the hole bricks. The hemp ropes went around the stone gaps and stretched straight into the water.

"What is this?" Yan Xiao, also a curious baby, came over and asked.

"Skewer hooks." Yang He is very familiar with this thing: "The riverside in Baimi Township is also a good place to buy these things, and sometimes you can get soft-shelled turtles."

"Find out where you live first, and then worry about it." Zhou Zhi was already yearning for the delicacies on the island: "I forgot that this fork in the river is definitely a good place to hide river fish. Zhongba's specialties may not only Only sugar cane and longan."

It was only when we got on the island that we realized how big the island was, and the shape of the whole island was also very strange, like a giant fish swimming upstream with its head and tail swaying. The area was about three square kilometers, and the circumference of the whole island was about ten. five miles.

From the place where the boat stops, there is a road that has been trampled by people. After passing through several reed bales, it gradually turns from the sandy beach and pebble beach to the land.

Once there is land, there will be bamboo forests, all of which are fine and medium bamboos, such as green bamboo, westerly bamboo, hard-headed yellow, and purple bamboo.

The path is paved with stone slabs here, and it seems to be based on the stone beach at the end of Jiangzhou.

The land here has a relatively high sand content, which is especially suitable for the growth of sugarcane. Now that the sugarcane has been harvested, there are many sugarcane leaves on the ground.

On some other sandy soils, huge spherical white radishes grew one by one, the largest being as big as a volleyball.

Yang He grabbed a handful of soil and rubbed it in his hands, with an envious look on his face: "Night tide soil."

"What is night tide soil?" Lao Mu, a villager, was completely stunned.

"You don't have it there." Zhou Zhi said, "It has to be a kind of soil near the river, which is especially suitable for growing vegetables. For example, the vicinity of Baitaba in Yang and his Baimi Township, and Zaoling Bridge in Jiachuan County. The vegetable dams outside are all of this kind of soil.”

"What are the benefits of this kind of soil?" Ye Xin was also curious about this and asked.

"It's more fertile than other soils, and it's also loose and breathable." Yang He couldn't tell why: "Elbows, right?"

"Well, probably there is also heat preservation and moisturizing." Zhou Zhi said.

"How could you even know this?" Yan Xiao felt unbelievable.

"County annals, especially old county annals, are definitely good things." Zhou Zhi took out his Ruifen small straight knife and began to destroy the environment. He gave everyone a bamboo stick with old hard-headed yellow bamboo, and said with a smile: "I don't know." It doesn't matter, as long as you know that the radishes here are the best radishes."

We continued to move forward and soon came to the agricultural area.

In the area where the tide is falling, on the fresh fertile soil brought by the river every year, various beans are now planted - broad beans and peas.

There are also some soybean stakes, which are used for seeding. The beans have been harvested, and there are only some dead branches left.

Some beans were covered with cages of thin vines, Zhou Zhi pointed at them, "Do you know them?"

Everyone shook their heads, only Zhang Xinyi smiled and said, "Cuscuta."

"Yes, Xin Yi knows Chinese medicine." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "There is an interesting story about this dodder."

"During the Song Dynasty, Cuscuta had to be collected as a tribute from Goryeo, which is now North Korea. Because there is no way to grow it, it is all picked wild, so the price is high."

"It wasn't until later that people accidentally discovered that this plant is actually a parasitic plant. It is not good to grow alone. It must be planted together with beans. Then don't think about beans. Cuscuta can be harvested slowly, the most suitable The area is the Bashu area, and then Bashu became the authentic place of dodder."

"In the eyes of farmers, this thing is a scourge, so it got a nickname, called 'Dou Yan Wang'."

"However, in the writings of literati and inkmen, Cusi is endowed with the intention of women to rely on men because of climbing bushes, and has created many lingering poems."

After speaking, while walking, while beating the beat with a bamboo stick, he read: "

The king is a female radish, and the concubine is a dodder.The light strips are not self-quoting, they are slanted by the spring breeze.

Baizhang entrusts Yuansong, forming a lingering family.Who said that meeting is not easy, each in the Qingshanya.

The fragrance of female radish is fragrant, and the dodder breaks people's intestines.The branches are tangled, and the leaves are fluttering.

I don't know the root of giving birth, because who shares the fragrance.There are two emeralds in the middle nest, and purple mandarin ducks in the upper nest.

If you know the heart of two grasses, you can also measure the tide. "

Feng Xueshan and Jiang Shuyi walked together behind Zhou Zhi, Feng Xueshan pulled Jiang Shuyi's arm: "Look, that's what I'm talking about."

Zhou Zhi had no choice but to sigh: "This is Li Qinglian's "Ancient Ideas". Didn't I happen to see it? It was just recited for the occasion."

"Look, he just came out in response to the occasion, so don't think too much about it."

"..."

Fortunately, Yan Xiao interrupted in time: "Elbow, why are you giving each of us a stick?"

"Anti-dog, you don't think there are no dogs in this village, do you?"

"..."

Zhou Zhi's concerns are very reasonable, even Tao Yuanming's Xanadu, it is "traffic across the fields, chickens and dogs hear each other".

Today's friends line up in a long line and walk on the path of traffic.

Most of the land has been harvested, but the ground is covered with sugarcane leaves. I don't know if it is for the sake of water and soil conservation.

Zhou Zhi estimated that these are also ingredients for smoked bacon.

After walking through a shrub forest, huge trees began to appear on the road ahead, which was a sign that they were about to enter the residential area, and it was also an important economic crop on the island-longan tree.

Longan is also called longan, and Manzhou is basically the northernmost area where longan is produced.

Like a lychee tree, the older the tree, the smaller the core of the fruit, and the more flesh it will be, the more fragrant it will be. Therefore, to judge whether a tree bears longan is good or not, you can get a general idea just by looking at the age of the tree.
