Playful peasant girl made a fortune: uncle begged to take it away

Chapter 10
Daddy has been away for two days, Mingyu not only went to look at the fields every day, but also took out the clothes at home to wash and dry, and tidy up the house.

Mingyu, who really had nothing to do, thought about it, and decided to go to the mountain again to take a look. After all, there was still a big side of the yard that was not cultivated, so it shouldn't be wasted.

So he told the two little guys to stay at home obediently, and he carried a basket on his back, took a sickle, a small hoe, and a hatchet, and went out.

Mingyu hummed songs all the way, thinking, the air in ancient times is better, looking at the green grass and blue sky, listening to the birdsong in her ears, her heart can't help but open up a lot.

Walking and walking, I came to the place where I saw grape vines last time, "Well, when I go back later, I will cut a few branches and put them outside the backyard. After two years, I will be able to eat grapes, and I can make some wine. I grow them myself. Yep, not wild sour. Let's go in that direction this time."

Behind the backyard fence of Mingyu’s house there is an open space about two meters wide from the back of the mountain. It was probably dug to prevent landslides from submerging the house. You just need to cut some wood and drive it. When the grapes grow up, that area will grow like the current grape corridor. In the summer two years later, you can open a door in the backyard and take a stool out. Eating grapes while enjoying the coolness is a great thing in life.Thinking about it, he walked in the other direction of the vines.

After walking for a while, except for some mushrooms, I didn't see anything special. After all, I didn't dare to go too deep.The mountain is indeed a treasure, but it is also full of danger invisibly.Mingyu decided not to go any further.

Walking and walking, turning a corner, Mingyu couldn't help being amazed, guess, what did Mingyue see?Bamboo forest, a large bamboo forest, or osmanthus bamboo, and there is a lot of flowers in bloom.

This means that there will be bamboo and rice after the flowers wither. "Compendium of Materia Medica" contains: "Bamboo rice, enlightens the gods, lightens the body and nourishes qi." The quality of bamboo rice is just as described in "Taiping Guangji": "Its seed is thick, its color is red, and its taste is especially fragrant." Precious is better than Japonica glutinous rice.Cooked as a meal, it is not only a rare food but also a health food, and it is respected as "the nobleman of green food".

Osmanthus bamboo is also known as mottled bamboo and May bamboo. This bamboo matures early, has high yield, short rotation cycle, hard and elastic, and is suitable for construction and household use.And osmanthus bamboo needs 120 years to bloom, but after the osmanthus bamboo blooms, the aboveground part dies, while the buds of the underground part can still rejuvenate and renew.

You must know that bamboo rarely blooms, because after the bamboo blooms, the bamboo forest will die in pieces.Its flowers are small and white, and when you smell it up close, it has a faint fragrance.After the bamboo flowers bloom, they form bamboo rice, that is, the seeds of bamboo. This is the most traditional way for bamboo to continue its offspring.Bamboo generally blooms only after 50-100 years.When bamboo blooms, it means that its life is exhausted, and only seeds are left to reproduce again, but not all bamboos that bloom can produce bamboo rice.

It is a rare phenomenon for bamboo to bloom and bear fruit, so it is often recorded in history books.Because bamboo rice is not easy to get, it is covered with a layer of mystery. Legend has it that bamboo rice is the food of the phoenix. In ancient times, there was a saying that the phoenix "does not inhabit unless it is a sycamore tree, and it does not eat unless it is bamboo."

"Haha, I've posted it. I can pick bamboo rice in May, and this family will no longer be so impoverished." After wandering around in the bamboo forest for a while, Mingyu dug a few tender shoots and walked back. I picked up a lot of mushrooms along the way, and when I got back to the vines, Mingyu didn't forget to cut down several vines.
