Chapter 17 Tea Tree



There are only a few types of edible mushrooms in this small forest. There are some mushrooms with thin and long poles and bright colors. Chen Hong doesn't dare to pick them. If she hasn't eaten them before, it's better not to try them. Just pick them and eat them yourself. Passed.Chen Hong stopped walking forward and wandered back. She found a few more porcini mushrooms on the way. When she stepped forward, she saw that they were eaten by insects and looked ugly.Chen Hong also gave up and went back to pick and trim, but not even half of the good areas were left. No need to waste that effort, just let them leave the seeds here, and more might grow next year.Three chestnut trees were also found. Seeing that the variety was oil chestnut, Chen Hong chose a small one and dug it out into the space.When the sowing is done, I will make sugar-roasted chestnuts for my son to eat.

At 11 o'clock, Chen Hong found her back and walked out of the woods and returned to the big rock.The old man said that there was a mountain spring not far from the bush. Chen Hong walked through the grass and wanted to see the spring. When she walked through the grass, she saw many yellow flowers growing like small trumpets.It looks familiar. The leaves of the plant are long and thin, like the leaves of orchid. The flowers are very tall, about one meter long. Isn't this a daylily?Chen Hong was very happy to see the large swaths of day lily. Freshly fried day lily, cold day lily, dried day lily stewed with shredded pork, and pickled day lily added to the spicy soup in winter, the taste is particularly delicious.Chen Hong decided to pick some day lilies here first. Chen Hong bent over and started picking. In half an hour, she picked a full back of beech flowers. Chen Hong only selected the larger buds that were not yet open, and let the bees collect nectar from the fully opened ones. Bar.After pouring the day lilies in the basket onto the grass in the space, Chen Hong picked another bunch of beetroots to free up the day lilies.

After walking through the grass and bushes for another 5 minutes, Chen Hong finally heard the sound of water. She walked forward 50 meters and turned a corner. In front of her was a high mountain wall with spring water gushing on it. Flow down.Under the mountain wall is a very deep pool. The pool is not big, only about ten meters in diameter.But looking at the bottom of the pool, it was so dark that I couldn't see the bottom. It must be very deep.I looked at the pool and saw that there were only two or three small fish as long as fingers. I wonder if there are no big fish, or are they all hiding under the pool?It is said that cold water fish is quite delicious.

Looking at the two or three small fish, Chen Hong thought of the red-scaled fish in the Black Dragon Pond in Mount Tai.Red-scaled fish is the most famous freshwater fish in the Tai'an area. Chen Hong ate it once when she was a child.At that time, no one cared about fishing. One year, people from their village went to Mount Tai to fulfill their vows.There was an old man who was very good at catching fish. He caught more than 30 red-scaled fish in Heilongtan.When I got home, I made a pan-fried small crispy fish. Chen Hong got two pieces. The meat was tender and plump. It was very delicious. It was so delicious.Even now, Chen Hong still drools when she thinks of that taste.

I remember that it was in 2007 that the Tai'an Municipal Government classified the Taishan red scale fish as a regionally protected rare fish species and no longer allowed to be caught.It seems that I have to take the time to go to Tai'an, find a way to catch some fry, and put some space to raise them, so that I can eat red-scaled fish freely in the future.The temperature next to the pool was relatively low, which was particularly cool and comfortable. Chen Hong rested for a while and scanned the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, several white orchids were found under a stone wall near a pond. Chen Hong walked over with a hoe and observed them carefully.The leaves of the orchid are slender, the corolla has three large petals, and there are two orchids growing on each flower arrow. They are elegant white, fragrant, and very beautiful orchids.After careful counting, there were five trees. Chen Hong dug up three and moved them to the space. It just so happened that there were no beautiful flowers at home. This flower looked best in the main room.

In her previous life, Chen Hong once raised Phalaenopsis, and she felt that the orchid was easy to take care of. I wonder if the wild orchid will survive transplanted into a flower pot?I don’t want to think too much anymore. Let’s plant them in space first. Anyway, I haven’t heard of anything about plants not being able to grow in space!Chen Hong searched around here, hoping to find other varieties of flowers. Didn't it say that some spaces would expand the area every time they included a variety of plants? She would try it too.

After searching for hundreds of meters, only two honeysuckle trees and one wild blueberry tree were dug up and put into the space.Chen Hong continued to walk deeper. This time, her attention was mainly focused on wild flowers and fruit trees. It was true that there were too few edible mushroom varieties in Jiaodong. What she picked in the morning was enough for the two of them to eat for a while. She was interested in the edible mushrooms in Jiaodong. There is no hope of finding rare mushrooms in the mountains.

As we went deeper into the mountains, there were more and more vegetation, and many rarely seen plants appeared. Suddenly, there was a large vine climbing all over the big tree. The clusters of small purple grapes on the vine attracted Chen Hong. They were wild grapes.Except for artificially grown grapes, Chen Hong had never seen such a large area of ​​grapes.There are a lot of fruits, and the clusters of purple grapes are covered with thick white frost.Chen Hong hung a basket on her arm and quickly picked the grapes with a machete. "I forgot to bring the scissors. The machete is still not as useful as scissors," Chen Hong muttered. I was thinking about planting some fruit trees, raising some flowers, and raising some fish, but I forgot to carry the warehouse with me. The small farmer mentality cannot be changed. In the future, I have to prepare a copy of commonly used things and put them in the space for easy use."

It took more than an hour to pick the grapes alone. When they entered the space, they saw that they weighed two to three hundred kilograms. Chen Hong burst out laughing. She still had the same old habit of not being able to hold back good things when she saw them.There are so many grapes that I can’t finish them all. Let’s go home and make wine.Such good wild grapes are purely wild, pollution-free, and pesticide-free, and the wine they produce must be delicious.After making up her mind, Chen Hong found some space and picked everything she could get, and picked more than 100 kilograms. Looking at the grapes hanging high on the big tree, she reluctantly said, "Leave these for the birds to eat!" "

I sat under a big tree and ate a bunch of grapes. The grapes were very sweet, not sour at all, and ripe just right. Except for the small particles, there was nothing wrong with them.After resting for a while, Chen Hong continued to move forward.After climbing over a hill, Chen Hong suddenly discovered more than a dozen tea trees. The tea trees grew on a hillside with their backs against the mountain wall. From a distance, the leaves were bright and dark green, and they were very vigorous.Chen Hong walked closer and pinched a young leaf and chewed it. It had a strong fragrance and a long sweet aftertaste. It was a good tea species. She moved two of them and never let go after seeing them. Chen Hongcai became obsessed with it.

While I was observing which tree to dig out, I suddenly looked up and found two calf-thick tea trees growing on a stone wall four meters above the ground. They must have grown so thick for hundreds of years.Judging from the situation, the dozen or so tea trees under the stone wall should be the descendants of the two old tea trees. It is said that the tea leaves from the old trees are the best and most fragrant. Chen Hong became greedy again.She put her hoe and machete into the space, tied her trousers again, and quickly climbed towards the tea tree.Any rocks that moved along the way were kicked off the stone wall with her feet. Chen Hong climbed steadily to the vicinity of the tea tree. Just as she was about to get closer, she found a pair of eyes staring at her, and she immediately broke out in white sweat all over her body.Take a closer look, damn!It turned out to be a pheasant neck. The pheasant neck's scientific name is tiger-spotted groove-necked snake. It is highly venomous and is covered in green with red spots on its neck. It likes to be entangled in trees.Chen Hong breathed a sigh of relief, folded a branch next to her, picked up the snake and threw it against the stone wall. She dropped the snake several times and made it motionless.

He used a branch to grab the snake's tail and shook it vigorously. He took out the machete and flattened the snake's head. The snake was already dead. He swung it far away with all his strength. "I was so shocked. I didn't find a shady place to hide in broad daylight. I came out to die. It's so disgusting!" Chen Hong wiped her hands with moss on the stone wall and stepped onto the small platform where the tea trees grew.Seeing that there were no more snakes or insects, he observed how to dig out the two tea trees with the least effort.

These two old tea trees are as thick as calves, with a crown diameter of two meters and a distance between plants of one meter. Since they grow on the rock wall, there is only a little soil at the roots, and the roots are directly rooted in the rock.After a hundred years of growth, the roots have stretched out wide gaps in the stone wall.If you want to remove these two tea trees, you must enlarge the gap so that the roots can be pulled out.

Chen Hong stomped the stone platform under her feet hard and could feel a slight shaking. It seemed that breaking the stone away would work.First, she used a machete to dig out the gravel and soil under the roots of the tree along the cracks in the rocks. Then she inserted the hoe and pried it hard. A large piece of rock fell down. It seemed that the roots of the tree were still very deep. Chen Hong continued to dig the soil with the machete. If you can't dig anymore, you can pry again. If you can't pry anymore, you can find cone-shaped granite and stuff it into the gap. Then pick up a big stone and smash it upwards. Then, clatter, another large piece of stone cracks and rolls down the stone wall.After working like this for two hours, Chen Hong was so exhausted that she was sweating profusely. She shook the tea tree and said, "Hey, it's finally moving. My dear, the mountain has been leveled for you, but it still can't dig you out?"

Chen Hong grabbed the tree trunk with both hands and shook it hard while pulling it out. The gravel and soil under the tree roots rolled down one after another, and Chen Hong finally pulled out a tree.The roots of the tree are too long, and the lower part of the main root extends all the way to the small tea forest under the stone wall. "No wonder you can live for so many years without soil here. It turns out that long-distance nutrition is transported like this." Chen Hong threw the tea tree down the stone wall and first Leave thirty centimeters of the secondary hairy roots, cut off all the rest, wait until the main roots are gone, and then cut off.

After digging out one tree, it was easier to dig out the other tree next to it. The cracks in the rocks had been broken open and the gravel and soil had been cleaned. After brewing in the same way, it took more than half an hour to dig out the second tree. After throwing down the stone wall, Chen Hong put away her tools, grabbed a tea tree taproot with one hand, and climbed down while pulling it out. The crackling gravel rolled along the way and she reached the ground safely.He took out the machete and left about one meter, cut off the main root, put the two tea trees into the space, and the man also lay down on the grass and rested for a while, panting.

After resting, he quickly came out of the room and said, "No, there is still work to be done. Such good tea leaves must be picked back, roasted and tasted, so as to compare them with the tea leaves produced on the mother tree." "Little woman, loves to work."Labor is the most glorious, and happiness is in the heart.Being able to work is very useful. Whether you will be a dragon or a worm in the future depends on whether you work hard or not. "

Deep in the mountains, Chen Hong fluttered her hands, quickly picked tea leaves, and sang loudly. For some reason, Chen Hong felt that this children's song was the most suitable for the occasion.It took more than an hour for Chen Hong to pick three baskets of tea leaves. Each basket weighed at least forty kilograms. Sitting on the stone, Chen Hong rubbed her fingers hard. "I can't do it anymore. I can't do anything anymore. My fingers are cramped!" Seeing the three small trees left unpicked, Chen Hong reluctantly said, "I'll let you go!"

Putting the tea leaves into the space, she put half mushrooms and half daylilies on her back. She took out a machete and a hoe, and Chen Hong went down the mountain.After knocking and knocking along the way back to the frequently traveled mountain road, Chen Hong trotted back home.
