Chapter Eleven Lishui Four Berries
Early in the morning, the barking of chickens and dogs in the village woke Liu Xiaoyu from his sleep. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, yawned a big yawn, but a big twitch. The chill in the air made Liu Xiaoyu feel energetic.
Wearing pajamas, Liu Xiaoyu took some well water to wash. The heart-wrenching cold air at the entrance of the well water made Liu Xiaoyu spit out the water in an instant. Looking at the well water in the cup, he shook his head and honestly changed into tap water and washed up.
After washing up, Liu Xiaoyu stood in the yard and started two sets of punches he knew. The air in the countryside was good, with an oxygen content of 999. After two punches, Liu Xiaoyu was sweating slightly.
Suddenly, they found that Hanhan and Xiaohu were not sure where they were, so they shouted loudly. With his "feeling" call, not long after, two dirty and sparse figures ran in from outside the door.
Looking at the open courtyard gate, Liu Xiaoyu touched his head. Damn, the gate forgot to close. It seems that these two little guys stood outside the gate all night last night.
"Good thing, thank you for your hard work last night. Today I will give you some extra meals." Liu Xiaoyu said with a smile, kicking his lower body and rubbing Hanhan and Xiaohu's heads.
He stood up and led the two dogs to the kitchen, looking at the idle stove, "Oh, this thing doesn't work." Liu Xiaoyu sighed and thought.
He put a bib around and tied a chicken and a duck out of the space. He was about to use a knife to cut their throats and bleed. Hanhan and Xiaohu shouted at him at the same time, and a desire suddenly appeared in the eyes of the two pairs.
"No, do you want to eat live food?" Liu Xiaoyu said unexpectedly, pointing to the chickens and ducks that were struggling in his hands.
"The information shows that the predecessor of dogs evolved from wolves. It is normal to eat live food and can also increase their aggression." The main brain interrupted casually.
"Okay, I'll hope you will be looking for me to protect the yard in the future. This is the countryside. It won't attract too much attention. You can eat it if you want, but you are not allowed to eat it in the yard, so as not to get hair and blood all over the floor." Liu Xiaoyu said as he walked out of the kitchen and threw the chickens and ducks on the ground outside the yard gate and said.
One dog, Hanhan and Xiaohu obediently held the chicken and duck into their mouths and rushed out.
"Remember to run away, remember to dig a hole in the garbage after eating, and buried it." Liu Xiaoyu shouted at the background of the two dogs.
Turning back to the kitchen, looking at the cold pot and cold stove, Liu Xiaoyu didn't know what he should eat in the morning.
"Oh, there will be gains and losses. Although there is no breakfast in the countryside, it seems that it's better to get some porridge to deal with it. Well, fry an egg and there should be side dishes in the refrigerator. It's a good breakfast." While comforting himself, he was thinking about the tofu brain, fried dough sticks and pancakes he liked to eat.
After Liu Xiaoyu finished breakfast, Hanhan and Xiaohu also came back. There was no sign of them being cruel to eat raw and live food, with clean mouths and clean claws, and no trace at all.
Without paying too much attention, Liu Xiaoyu walked to the backyard to open the storage room and continued to feed his chickens and pigs.
After looking at the feeding trough in the chicken pen, I found that there was still a lot of feed inside, but the feeding trough in the pig pen had been cleaned long ago.
It seems that the chicken's appetite is far less than that of a pig. I poured the feed directly into the pigpen. The two little pigs who were originally crawling there and hummed immediately ran over, putting their heads into the feeding trash and chewing them.
After feeding, Liu Xiaoyu found that his pajamas had been killed gloriously. He took off his pajamas and threw them into the basin. Liu Xiaoyu changed into a camouflage uniform. This outfit was bought by him accidentally and had never been worn. This time he finally had a place to use it.
Back in the bedroom, Liu Xiaoyu called his father and uncle Yao to report his safety, saying that everything was fine, no need to worry, keep in touch, or something. After looking at the time, he estimated that Mr. He had not finished his exercise, so he didn't call him.
He took out his mobile phone and made up a message and sent it to his colleagues and friends in a group. He then received a lot of replies with different content. Some complained that Liu Xiaoyu left without saying a word, some shouted that he wanted him to treat him to dinner, some asked him to organize a day trip to the countryside, and some were awakened by sleeping in and directly replied to the word "sun".
After looking at it one by one, Liu Xiaoyu put his phone in his arms and walked out of the bedroom. Looking at the empty yard, he always felt that something was missing. After thinking for a long time, he found that there should be some flowers, plants and other things in the yard, and then a grape trellis. When summer comes, sit under the grape trellis to enjoy the cool air. That is quite good.
After checking, there were no grapes in the space, only some flowers and seeds thrown in earlier. Speaking of which, it’s not okay to have flowers alone. I didn’t buy the flower pots. The yard was made into concrete floors. There was no flower pot and there was no place to plant flowers. Liu Xiaoyu asked his master to write down the matters of the flower pots and grape trellis, and was ready to find time to solve this problem.
Liu Xiaoyu, who had made plans for the yard, walked out of the yard and prepared to go around. This time he remembered to lock the door. One man and two dogs did not turn around in Liujia Village, but walked up the mountain behind, where there were more than a dozen acres of mountain land belonging to him.
Climbing up the hillside and looking around, although I had seen it once before, Liu Xiaoyu was still attracted by the pastoral scenery. The courtyards were spread out scattered at the foot of the mountain, and the fields were covered with various crops.
After enjoying the perfect scenery, Liu Xiaoyu asked his master how to operate this mountain.
"Master, what's going on with this land? The village requires us to plant a certain area of trees besides fruit trees." Liu Xiaoyu asked.
"After I searched the Internet, I learned that Lishui County originally had its own specialty of four "berries". "The main brain said first.
"Four berry? Which four berry is it?" Liu Xiaoyu asked.
"It's the four berry, blackberry, green plum, blueberry, and strawberry." The main brain replied.
"Then what do I think is suitable for growing?" Liu Xiaoyu continued to ask.
"You can plant it." The answer from the master brain is very simple.
"Uh... I'm quite familiar with strawberries. I've eaten fresh fruits of this thing, but I've only eaten the other three types of fruits or dried fruits. I've never seen what they look like." Liu Xiaoyu said depressedly.
"From the perspective of growth period, strawberries and blackberries are the fastest, while blueberries and green plums take between three to five years from planting to high yield." The main brain opened the energy screen and showed the fresh fruit pictures of these four kinds of berry to Liu Xiaoyu.
"So in terms of economic benefits, which of these four types of berry is better?" Liu Xiaoyu said, looking at the energy screen in front of him.
"From the current data, blueberry fruits are rich in their unique blueberry green cabbage substances, which have the effects of improving vision, anti-aging, and anti-cancer. They are known as "the functional health berries of the 21st century" and "the queen of fruits", and are listed by the International FAO as one of the five health foods of mankind. The size of blueberry fruits is similar to cherries, with blue and bright blue, with a sweet and sour flavor and a special aroma, and have an excellent taste. In recent years, blueberry fruits have become popular in Japan and Europe and the United States, with products in short supply and expensive prices. The domestic market price ranges from 50-120 yuan per kilogram according to different quality, and the development prospects are very promising." said the main brain.
"Strawberry, the edible part of the fruit is 95%, and the nutrient content is determined by analysis and determination. The moisture is 80-90%, sugar is 6-12%, organic matter is 1-1.5%, pectin is 1-1.7%, protein is 0.4-0.6%, inorganic salts, crude fiber is 1.4%, and is rich in phosphorus, calcium, iron and other minerals and vitamins. Among them, vitamin C contains 50-120 mg per gram of fresh fruit, which is 3 times that of citrus. Strawberry fruit
Nutrients are easily absorbed by the human body and have certain medical value. In particular, a strawberry amine substance can be added, which has unique functions in the treatment of blood diseases such as leukemia, aplastic anemia. Therefore, strawberries are recognized as nutritious fruits. At present, they are mainly used to promote cultivation and sell fresh fruits. The fruit is off-season during the market. They can be combined with the "Plum Blossom Festival" and "Picking Festival" leisure agricultural tourism, and have a strong sales." The main brain continued.
"Green plum is one of the famous fruits in Nanjing, my country. It has a wide range of uses, unique flavor, rich nutrition, and high medicinal value. It is known as a health food. The main processed products include plum, crispy plum, dried plum, plum sauce, plum wine, etc. Because of its easy cultivation, long economic life and low production cost, it usually starts to bear fruit in the third year after planting, and enters the peak fruit period after 5 years, with a yield of 500-1,200 kilograms per mu, resulting in oversupply of the market, resulting in a market saturation and price not high. However, at present, Fujiabian Plum Garden in Lishui County has become a famous leisure agriculture scenic spot in Nanjing, and is a good place for citizens to go out to enjoy plum blossoms in spring. It can also be combined with the "Plum Blossom Festival" and "Picking Festival" leisure agricultural tourism, and the sales are relatively strong." The main brain said.
"Blackberry is native to North America. Its fruit is purple-black, rich in natural pigments, carbohydrates, a variety of vitamins and a variety of amino acid ingredients. It has the characteristics of "high nutrition, high resistance, pollution-free, and all-natural". It is known as "life fruit". In addition to fresh food, blackberry berries can also be used to process and make various foods such as juice, jelly, fruit wine, jams, etc. Its products are highly favored by domestic and foreign consumers and have broad market prospects. However, due to fluctuations in the international market in recent years, its purchase price has been very sluggish." said the main brain.
After listening to the detailed analysis of the master's brain, Liu Xiaoyu valued the advantages of strawberries and green berry being able to operate in conjunction with farm stays. He chose to mainly plant strawberries and green plums, and a small number of planting blueberries and blackberries.
