Chapter 197: Not Recognizing Treasures
Some local products that Su Qingyu often found in Baijiazhai can also be found in other villages. Su Qingyu began to pay attention to the types of products that were not available in Baijiazhai.
She discovered that in addition to various fungi, herbs, and nuts, there were also many types in these mountains.
Su Qingyu rummaged through the burdens and baskets beside each village leader and found many things.
When the leader of Shuzheng Village saw that Su Qingyu was interested in what he had found, he immediately straightened his back.
Su Qingyu took a few things in her hand and asked him: "Are there many of these nuts in the mountains?"
The leader of Shuzheng Village nodded: "There are quite a few. But the tree is too tall, so it's not easy to pick them. The kids just pick them up and drop them on the ground."
When several villagers saw it, they said, "We also have it in the mountains. It's a sweet thing for kids, but adults don't like to eat it. The shell is too hard. There's not much to eat."
Su Qingyu glanced at the village owners who had opened their mouths, and saw that they had not brought these things. Just when she was about to ask, the village owners spoke up: "We didn't bring the fruits, but we brought all the leaves." coming."
Afraid of Su Qingnao's criticism, he hurriedly said.
Su Qingyu nodded at them.
At first, she only said that she could bring something that could prove it, and she didn't say whether she wanted leaves or fruits. But she really didn't recognize the leaves of some trees, but she still recognized the fruits.
Then he took a few things and turned them around in front of the village owners. All the village owners said that these things were in the mountains. (audience)
"Didn't you go hiking in autumn? Didn't you pick up wild goods?" Su Qingyu asked.
"There are some. In previous years, everyone went to the mountains to pick up mountain products. We picked up walnut boards, millet, cones, millet and hazelnuts to eat in the winter. Sometimes when selling wild animals, we would also take some out and sell some. ." Each village leader said.
Su Qingyu nodded after hearing this. She saw various nuts in the baskets of many village owners. It seems that there are quite a lot of nuts in the mountains.
She raised the things in her hand: "What about these things? No one has picked them up?"
When a village owner saw it, he said: "We have picked up several of those fruits, but the shells are too hard and the flesh is not tasty, so we don't want them. There is also that one, once you take a bite of the black slag, even the children don't like it. ”
Su Qingyu followed what he pointed at and looked at her hand. The village leader was pointing to the thing with a bite of black scum, the torreya.
He held up a torreya that had peeled off its skin and asked, "Is this it? Take a bite of the black dregs? Does anyone know what this is?"
They all shook their heads.
No one likes this stuff. But its wood is a good material, with moderate hardness and resistance to water and moisture. It is a good material for making furniture. It also has a light aroma and is not easy to crack. Everyone loves to cut it to make furniture.
Su Qingyu said: "This is called Torreya. It takes almost three years from flowering to fruit maturity. It only bears fruit once every three years, which is very rare and precious. Many torreyas take hundreds of years to bloom, and grafted ones also take ten years. The fruit has just been harvested. After the fruit is harvested, a tree can only pick ten or twenty kilograms.”
So it is more expensive in modern times. In ancient times, it was estimated that most people had never seen Su Qingyu.
"Ah, this thing is called torreya. I asked why sometimes I can see it and sometimes not. It turns out that it only bears fruit once every three years. What is grafting? Does it mean that it takes ten years for a new plant to bear fruit? This thing is so precious ?"
"But it doesn't taste good either. One bite of dregs."
Su Qingyu smiled after hearing this and said: "You have to be patient when eating this, just like you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. You have to be patient for delicious food."
"You said, if we sell this thing from the mountains outside, which only bears fruit once every three years and can only be eaten once every three years, do you think anyone outside will buy it?"
The village owners nodded one after another: "Yes. Aren't the rich and wealthy people going crazy? Others can eat it, but I can't. Doesn't it mean that I can't compare to others? Besides, it can only be eaten once in three years. If I have it, I won't be able to eat it." Buy it quickly?”
Su Qingyao smiled again: "Then you still think of him as soil fertilizer. If you don't want any, help me pick up some and bring them to me. I will pick them up for my little treasure to eat."
The village owners here are not fools, and they will know that this thing is really valuable when they hear it.
I ran to the basket on the back of the leader of Shuzheng Village and picked it up. The leader of Shuzheng Village immediately rushed forward and covered his basket tightly.
"This belongs to our village. You also have it in the mountains. Why are you robbing me?"
"Let's just take a look and see what you look like. You are so stingy!"
"You're just stingy! The president has it, why don't you take it and take a look!"
There was a commotion below, Su Qingyu cleared her throat, and everyone sat back down.
The leader of Shuzheng Village immediately took the basket into his arms, fearing that someone would snatch it away. Things that even children were reluctant to pick up are now treasures and should not be taken seriously.
There was a village owner who was unwilling to give in. Why did he have something valuable? His village was not far from him: "President, look at ours, are there any valuables?"
Su Qingyu glanced down and said nothing.
He also raised something in his hand for everyone to see: "This is a pecan. Although it is not as big as a walnut, it is also delicious and the yield is not low. It can nourish the brain and strengthen the brain. It is very beneficial for children and the elderly to eat more. Can anyone pick it up?"
The man who came with pecans at the bottom straightened his back immediately and glanced at the leader of Shuzheng Village. Huh, who doesn't think he has something rare?
The leader of Shuzheng Village was holding the basket and refused to put it down. It’s not like we didn’t have pecans.
It’s just that the fruit is too small, the shell is hard and it’s inconvenient to extract the flesh, so people don’t like to eat it. When I get back, I will order people to go up the mountain to look for him.
Then I heard Su Qingyu say: "There is also this black pine nut, which is also a good thing. It moisturizes the intestines and replenishes qi. In winter, everyone hides their cats at home, so every family should prepare some snacks. Nuts are eaten at home and are loved by both adults and children. These are treasures in our mountains.”
"It may be too late this year. Wait until next year. We will make a good plan and go into the mountains to harvest the autumn harvest. When the market is built, everyone will sell these good things in the mountains and turn them into money, so that everyone's pockets will be full. stand up."
These words made everyone feel excited: "Sell the good goods to mountains, sell them into money, and make everyone's pockets thicker!"
Everyone was excited and excited. There should be a lot of nuts in the mountains now. Let people go up the mountain to have a look when we get back.
Su Qingyu looked into everyone's baskets and said: "Well, some village owners haven't eaten these things yet. I see everyone has brought some. Everyone gathers together, and I'll have people put these mountain goods in Let’s stir-fry it for everyone so that everyone can taste it, so that they don’t treat it like fat.”
"Okay." Everyone agreed.
I just heard the president say how good it is. They haven’t tried it and don’t know if it’s really good. If they can try it, they can promote it to everyone when they get a taste of it and go back.
Everyone immediately dug out all the mountain nuts in the basket, and each family took a little, which was quite a lot for the 28 villages.
Su Qingyao told Lu and Ruyi and asked them to take them to the kitchen for frying.
Then he went on to tell everyone about the property.
