Chapter 44: Taboos on Planting Trees and Bamboo Insects

Please recommend, please collect, please click.

Thank you to the Blood Lion Beast King for your first reward here.

I'm lazy today, I'll do this chapter in the morning and noon, and there's another chapter in the evening.

................

Song Wen hugged the "ginseng" and watched them leave. After a while, he realized that he had not yet made any money for Huang Xiaojun to take "ginseng".

But seeing that the car has gone far, I can only wait for the future.

He wanted to call her, but he thought that he hadn't borrowed her money just now, which made her unhappy. Now, when he talked about repaying the money, he didn't know what would happen to her, so he had to wait for a while before talking about it.

To be honest, it’s not that he is a sch-speaking man, but that he really doesn’t want to owe others money. He is an honest man, and once he owes others money, he will remember it in his heart. That feeling is really bad, so he would rather be poor by himself than borrow money from others, even if this person is the sister of a good brother and wife.

I put the "ginseng" I held in my hand into Ruyi Fan, and went to the few fruit trees planted a few days ago to look at it. I found that the fruit trees I planted had all survived and all had new buds. It seemed that the spring fruit in Ruyi Fan was indeed extraordinary.

After seeing the fruit trees, he went to the lake to see the big bracken and found that it was growing well and seemed to be sprouting. He quickly poured some spring water and then walked to the backyard.

In the backyard, the wild vegetables he planted grew very well, green and some of them had bloomed. It seems that they can harvest the seeds in a few days. After harvesting the seeds and planting them, there will be young and tender wild vegetables to eat. However, the weather is cold now, and I don’t know if the seeds can germinate after planting them. It seems that we need to build a plastic film insulation shed to plant them.

The tomato seedlings on one side are also growing well, and the tomatoes that grow almost bent the branches.

After seeing it, he hurriedly found a few branches, set up an "x"-shaped rack next to the tomato seedlings, and tied the tomato seedlings to the rack so that the tomato seedlings would not be able to withstand the growing tomatoes.

After getting the tomatoes, he looked to the side again. The garlic sprouts, mustard greens and coriander on the side were also good, but the winter nest and vegetable hearts were very poor.

I walked to the place where the newly sowed rapeseeds were taken and found that the newly planted loofah seeds had not sprouted a few days ago, but the green beans and the holland beans have grown seedlings, green and tender, which are very pleasant. There is also a row of radishes next to them. The seedlings are already growing as long as the index finger. It seems that there will be radishes again soon.

Perhaps because of the dew, the weeds in the yard began to grow wildly again.

Without any help, Song Wen had to squat on the ground to draft. He originally wanted to wait for the grass to grow and then pull it out, so it would be easier to pull it out, but if his mother saw it, it would probably be nagging again.

When the puppy saw him pulling the weeds, he ran over happily and helped him bite him. After biting a few bites, he vomited out wildly and ran to the edge of the ditch to drink water. He probably had bitten some grass with bad taste, some of which smelled very smelly.

The little hedgehog also ran out of the hole and rubbed it in the field. After a while, he found bugs on the vegetable leaves, so he walked over and ate it into his stomach.

The little chickens and ducks playing next to them all ran over after seeing this, and clamored over there to find the insects.

For a moment, the backyard became a happy paradise for these little guys.

After pulling out the grass, Song Wen came to the vine planted last night and found a little bit of new green appeared on the head of the vine, as if it was about to sprout.

He looked at it and couldn't help but frown.

He wants to graft this grape. If there are too many buds growing, it will be difficult to graft in the future. I don’t know if it can be grafted now. If possible, just graft it directly to avoid waiting until next year. Song Wen thought about it with distress. However, thinking about the sprouting fruit trees outside now, he felt relieved.

According to the situation, aren’t the fruit trees outside unable to sprout? They are not growing now. Maybe they can really graft now. You can try it. Even if they don’t succeed, there will be no loss.

Thinking of it, he walked upstairs and planned to buy some grape seedlings online to graft them.

When he returned to the room, he ordered some grape seedlings of different varieties and colors online. Some shop owners were conscientious and told him that the grape grafting could not survive now. But he ignored these things and just bought them. The shop owner saw his stupid look and had nothing to say.

After buying the grape seedlings, he felt that the front yard was empty and a little bad, and he didn't want to plant flowers, so he bought a jujube tree and an apple tree to plant. When he grew up, he would not only be able to hide shade, but also eat fruits, killing two birds with one stone.

In China, regardless of ancient and modern times, planting trees at home is very particular.

One cannot plant pear trees, pears are not auspicious; two cannot plant lychees, and lychees are gone, and they are gone, so what is auspicious; three cannot plant persimmons, and persimmons are dead, and no one knows why they cannot plant them; four cannot plant longans, and the dried flesh of longans is called longans, which is very nice, rich and reunited, but longans are not nice, longans, deaf eyes, are awkward; five cannot plant guava, guava is also called guava, which is called "nabozi" in southern Fujian, and some are called "chicken shit fruit", because it will dissipate when it matures

It emits a strong guava flavor. Although it tastes good, the smell emitted is very fatal after smelling for a long time. Six, it cannot grow star fruit, not only bring peach blossoms, but also water-based poplar flowers, which is not good. Seven, it cannot grow apricots, I believe everyone will recite the song "A red apricot comes out of the wall"; Eight, you cannot grow mangoes, because you will be at a loss for anything you do, and the mango tree grows very fast, and the tree is very thick and the tree is big to cover the entire house, which is not good; Nine, you cannot grow plums and bayberry because the homophonic sounds very bad.

Some people may say: In this way, you can't plant anything.

But this is the taboo in rural areas. If you don’t plant anything unlucky, you can’t plant “willar, mulberry, locust tree, poplar, neem” and so on.

As the saying goes, "Don't plant mulberry trees in front, and won't plant willow trees behind, and you don't plant ghosts in the courtyard to clap your hands."

The "mulberry" of a mulberry tree sounds very similar to the "mulberry" of a funeral, and is very unlucky.

Willow trees are even more unlucky. There is a folk saying that goes, "Eat in Guangzhou, die in Liuzhou." Why? Because Liuzhou is rich in willow trees, and coffins are cheap! Moreover, when relatives die, the "sad sticks" and "soul-receiving banners" used for funerals are also made of willow branches. How auspicious can it be? Poplar trees are better, but there are many leaves in poplar trees. If the breeze blows, the leaves will roar, like a "ghost" clapping hands. Just imagine that if this tree is there at night, there will be no spirit in doing things.

The locust tree is also known as the Chinese locust tree, and the family locust tree.

"The Literature of Zhou. Qiu Guan" records that there were three locust trees planted in the Zhou Dynasty. When the three dukes met the emperor, they stood under the locust trees. The three dukes refer to the Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, which is a collective name for the three highest official positions in the Zhou Dynasty. Later generations used the Three Locusts to describe the Three Dukes, which became the symbol of the official position of the Three Dukes. People in later generations mostly planted in front of the door and in the courtyard, hoping that their descendants would be ranked as the Three Dukes.

There is also a saying in the countryside that "no locust trees are planted behind the house." It is said that because locust trees were a symbol of auspiciousness, longevity and official positions in ancient times, it is forbidden to plant locust trees behind the house. But there is also a saying that locust trees attract insects. After the locust trees get insects, the insects on the tree will fall to the ground with fat and green insects hanging on the white silk. People call it "hanged ghosts". Do you think it can be planted?

The neem tree is also known as the croaker. People say that the neem is a bitter fruit, which means that the owner eats bitter fruit, which is not auspicious.

So, in terms of fact, Song Wen only has jujube trees and apple trees. Red dates mean prosperity and a young child early; apples are peaceful and safe, so good.

After buying the goods, Song Wen took the bag and went out, intending to go to the bamboo forest to see if there were any unlucky bamboo rats or wild boars falling into cages and traps.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out the door, he saw Song Hu driving over. He didn't know what he had to do, so he stood in front of the yard and waited.

The car came to Song Wen and stopped. Song Hu walked out of the car, and there was a person behind him.

When Song Wen saw that it was a short man, he couldn't help but wonder why Song Hu brought him here? However, the person who came was a guest, so he put the hatchet and bag back and invited the two of them to make tea in the house.

After three cups of tea, Song Hu explained his purpose. It turned out that after the short man heard that the two were going up the mountain, he also wanted to go with him. Song Hu was afraid that he would be unhappy when he didn't tell Song Wen, so he specially brought the short man to say.

Song Wen doesn't care about this at all, anyway, it's the same if there is one more person, so there is no difference.

Song Hu just came to tell him that if the short man hadn't insisted on coming over, he wouldn't have been too lazy to go this trip. After making tea, he patted his butt and left. It was a hurry to come and go.

After being fussed like this, it was already noon, and Song Wen went to cook.

Now there is no need to dig bamboo shoots, and the big buffalo is born. Song Yuanshui is too quiet in the mountains, so he goes down the mountain to live, leaving only Song Wen alone.

Song Wen was used to it alone, so it didn't matter. After dinner, he slept for a nap. After waking up, he went to the mountain to see if he had caught bamboo rats or something.

I inspected the bamboo forest and did not catch the wild boars, but I harvested a few more bamboo rats. It seemed that there was only the wild boar in the bamboo forest. After a few days, if there were no wild boars, I would fill in the trap so that my own people would not pay attention and fall down.

Seeing that the bamboo shoots in the rat cage had grown old, he changed the bamboo shoots in the rat cage again. If they put them outside, they will grow old one day and are not so crisp. These rats are very scared. If they are not tender, they will not eat them. They are the same as the old cows who like to eat tender grass.

After changing to bamboo shoots, he put the rat cage with the bamboo rat in a snakeskin bag and walked down the mountain.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the bamboo forest.

“南,南,南,南”

Song Wen stopped quickly and listened carefully. It seemed that the sound of insects eating, so he walked over gently in the direction of the sound.

After a while, I came to a green bamboo and found that the sound was coming from the bamboo. Looking closely, I found that the middle section of the bamboo was a little yellow, and something even bitten into a hole in the middle.

It seems that bamboo worms are eating bamboo.

Bamboo worms are also called bamboo maggots, and in some places they are called "bamboo maggots". Bamboo worms are also larvae of bamboo bees. Bamboo bees are a pest that harms bamboo forests. They lay eggs and hatch in tender bamboos. The larvae ate young bamboo shoots to absorb nutrients. Within 20 days, they can grow from the size of rice grains to the size of fingers, parasitize in the bamboo tube, eat from the tip of the bamboo, and finally hide at the roots, stop eating, and prepare to break out of the pupa. Once the bamboo forest is damaged by it, tender bamboo cannot grow into a material.

Song Wen has never been ruthless about this kind of bamboo forest pest, so he picked up a machete and chopped the bamboo joints that had been bitten by the insects.

After a while, the bamboo cut out a hole. He gently stretched his hand into it and grabbed it. When he stretched it out, there were a few white and fat insects in his hand. This was the bamboo insect.

The bamboo insects are white and look like Cordyceps. They are scalded in boiling water and fryed in oil. They are very crispy and delicious, and the taste is never inferior to bee pupa and silkworm pupa.

Since it is a pest in the bamboo forest, it should be punished by justice. It should be put into the oil pan and then eaten and turned into a pile of feces. It will never be reborn.

Song Wen felt that this idea was very good, so he cut the roots of the bamboo.

It was too dark in the forest and there was no place for bamboo worms to be placed, so he wanted to cut the whole bamboo back and take it out.

After cutting off the insects and bamboos, Song Wen took his things down the mountain.

When I got home, I took a saw and saw the bamboos one by one, shook out the bamboo worms inside the bamboo, and finally got a large plate. A large number of insects kept squirming in the plate, and the timid people felt their scalp numb when they saw it.

After taking out the bamboo worms, he came to the kitchen, rinsed the bamboo worms with water, then scalded them with boiling water, filtered them, and fryed them in a pan. It is best to fry them in a mixed meat oil and vegetable oil, so that the taste of the fried tastes fragrant. After the frying is golden brown, pick them up, sprinkle them with pepper and salt or salt when eating, which is very delicious, and feels a little sweet and milky.

Song Wen had a full stomach and saw that there was only half left, so he put it away and kept it for tomorrow to eat.
