Chapter 194 Dodder

"Yeah." Jiang Shuyi nodded: "And if you want to read it, you can come back and read it at any time."

Zhou Zhi did not think of this at all. His thoughts were still in the past. After graduating from college in his previous life, he stayed at home every time he returned to his hometown and did not go out. He was also in a hurry when he left. What he was most afraid of 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, with jianjia backgrounds, reflections on the water, and rocks washed into strange shapes by the turbulent river water in summer.

Even the ferry to Zhongba is a pretty good background.

The ferry is made of steel and has a roof. Each boat can only carry fifteen people at a time.

Nowadays, the folk customs are very simple. I heard that the children came here from Jiachuan to play, so I took the initiative to give up my seat and let Zhou Zhi and others go to the island first, and they took a seat.

The ferry drew a small arc and slowly sailed upstream. In fact, it only took a few minutes to cross the river on this side where the current was relatively quiet and no large boats could travel. At the end of the middle dam,

Stopped by the rocky beach.

Zhou Zhi just jumped off the boat and found something by the water.

There are some perforated bricks thrown into the gaps between the rocks by the water. Thin hemp ropes are tied to the perforated bricks. The hemp ropes are wound around the gaps between the stones and extend straight into the water.

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

"Strung hooks." Yang He is very familiar with this thing: "The riverside in Baimi Township is also a good place to get this thing. Sometimes you can even get soft-shelled turtles."

"First decide where to live, and then worry about these things." Zhou Zhi is already yearning for the food on the island: "I forgot that this bifurcated river is definitely a good place to hide river delicacies. The specialties of Zhongba may not only be

Just sugar cane and longan."

After getting on the island, I realized how big the island is. The shape of the entire island is also very strange, like a giant fish moving upstream with its head and tail swaying. It covers an area of ​​about three square kilometers and the circumference of the entire island is about ten meters.

Five miles.

Starting from where the boat was parked, there was a road that had been trampled by people. After passing through several reed packs, it gradually turned from gravel beach, pebble beach, to land.

As soon as land was established, bamboo forests began to appear, all of which were thin bamboos and medium bamboos, such as Qing bamboo, west wind bamboo, hard-headed yellow bamboo, and purple bamboo.

The path started to be paved with stone slabs here, which seemed to be based on the stone beach at the end of Jiangzhou.

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

On some other sandy soil, there are huge spherical white radishes growing, the largest one is 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: "Ye Chao soil."

"What is night tide soil?" Lao Mu, a rural person, was completely confused.

"You don't have it there," Zhou Zhi said: "It has to be a kind of soil that is only found in places close to the river, which is particularly suitable for growing vegetables. For example, near Baitaba in Baimi Township, Yang and his family, and Zaoling Bridge in Jiachuan County

The vegetable dams outside all have 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 looser and more breathable." Yang He couldn't explain why: "It's elbow, right?"

"Well, probably the other thing is keeping warm and moisturizing." Zhou Zhi said.

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

"The County Chronicle, especially the old County Chronicle, is absolutely a good thing." Zhou Zhi took out a small straight knife with Swiss pink powder and began to destroy the environment. He used old hard-headed yellow bamboo for everyone. No one cut a bamboo stick, and said with a smile: "I don't know.

It doesn’t matter, just know that the radishes here are the most delicious.”

Everyone continued to move forward and soon arrived at the agricultural area.

In the low-tide zone, on the fresh fertile soil brought by the river every year, various beans - broad beans and peas - are now grown.

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

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

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

"Yes, Xin Yi knows Chinese medicine." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "There is an interesting story about this dodder."

"During the Song Dynasty, dodder had to be collected as tribute from Goryeo, which is now the Korean Peninsula. Because there was no cultivation method, they were all picked wild, so the price was high."

"Later, people accidentally discovered that this plant is actually a parasitic plant. It is not good to plant it alone. It must be planted together with beans. Then forget about the beans. Cuscuta can be harvested slowly, which is the most suitable

The area was the Bashu area, and then Bashu became the home of dodder."

"In the eyes of farmers, this thing is a scourge, so it got a nickname, called 'Bean Hell King'."

"However, in the writings of literati, dodder was endowed with the idea of ​​women relying on men because of its clinging to shrubs, and many sentimental poems were created."

After finishing speaking, he walked, beat the rhythm with his bamboo stick, and recited: "

You are the daughter of dill grass, and I am the dodder flower. The light strips do not attract themselves, they are tilted to chase the spring breeze.

A hundred feet of distant pine trees form a family together. Whoever said they would do business would be on the cliff of a green mountain.

The female radish hair is fragrant, and the dodder is heart-breaking. The branches are tangled, and the leaves are fluttering.

I don’t know the root of giving birth to a child, because who shares the fragrance. In the middle of the nest are two emeralds, with purple mandarin ducks sleeping on top.

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

Feng Xueshan and Jiang Shuyi were walking together behind Zhou Zhi. Feng Xueshan pulled Jiang Shuyi's arm: "Look, this is what I said."

Zhou Zhi could only sigh: "This is Li Qinglian's "Ancient Meaning". Didn't I just happen to see it? I just read it to suit the occasion."

"Look, he just responded to the situation, so others shouldn't think too much."

"..."

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

"Beware of dogs. You don't think there are no dogs in a village like this, do you?"

"..."

Zhou Zhi's concerns are very reasonable. Even the paradise described by Tao Yuanming is still "traffic on the road, chickens and dogs hear each other".

The friends now line up in a long line and walk on the traffic street.

Most of the land has been harvested, but the ground is covered with sugar cane leaves. I don't know if it is for the purpose of conserving water and soil.

Zhou Zhi estimates that these are also the ingredients for smoking bacon.

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

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