portable space

That evening, Zhang Taiping had just watered the osmanthus tree with diluted space water, and before he had time to eat, the village chief's eldest son Wang Gui came to invite him to his home for a drink.

The old village chief is similar in age to Zhang Taiping's late father, but he had a son earlier. Now Wang Gui is thirty years old, six years older than Zhang Taiping. He is an authentic northern farmer, honest and honest. As the eldest son of the family, he has to provide for his family early.

I was busy making a living. I worked outside in my early years. With my hard-working energy and tight money, I actually saved some money. In recent years, as the old village chief got older, he returned home to take care of the elderly and accumulated money outside.

I have the knowledge to grow mushrooms at home and ride a motorcycle tricycle to deliver them to the town every day, which is more than enough to support my family.

It is said to be a small village, but it occupies a large area. The houses are not tightly clustered together like in towns, but scattered. Even neighbors are separated by more than ten meters or dozens of meters. The yard of Zhang Taiping's house is built against the mountain.

, several hundred meters away from the center of the village.

After going out, Wang Gui gave Zhang Taiping a cigarette, and then lit one for himself. The two of them walked in the windy night. Wang Gui was a taciturn person, and the two of them didn't have a close relationship.

Nothing to say, just smoking silently.

After finishing a cigarette, Zhang Taiping popped out the cigarette holder, and scattered sparks arced across an arc and fell into the river on the side of the road. Zhang Taiping asked: "I wonder why Uncle Hanmin asked me to come over?"

Wang Gui heard this and said with a smile: "It's not about the wild boar coming down the mountain."

Zhang Taiping turned to look at the smile on Wang Gui's face. He looked honest and honest when he was silent. When he smiled, the smile that spread on his ordinary face made people feel like spring breeze, but gave people a feeling of trustworthiness. Zhang Taiping suddenly thought of this.

This kind of person is either extremely wise and foolish, or extremely treacherous and loyal.

After a pause, Zhang Taiping frowned and said, "Is it what happened to the wild boar a few days ago?"

"That's not true. In our village, no one dares to do anything against us, unless he doesn't want to mess around on this three-thirds of an acre of land. Tonight is mainly about discussing how to prevent wild boars. The corn is about to turn yellow. These two

The activity of wild boars down the mountain has been fierce, and several acres of land have been damaged. It is not easy to plant for one season, and it is not an option to continue like this, so the village is planning to set up several patrol teams to take turns to look after the corn fields."

Zhang Taiping nodded and said no more.

A dozen people have gathered at the village chief's house, waiting for Zhang Taiping. Originally, Zhang Taiping would not be informed of such a thing. According to his previous style, even if he knew, he would not participate. In view of the fact that he had

Because of his poor performance, the village chief specifically asked his son to go and just say a few words.

When the village chief saw him coming in, he patted him on the shoulder and arranged a seat for him. Wang Peng was also there. When he saw Zhang Taiping coming in, he moved his chair and moved up to him.

I simply prepared a few cold dishes, a large pot of old hens stewed with wild mushrooms, and some home-brewed wine.

When he was full of wine and food, the old village chief pressed his hands and said: "I called everyone here tonight to take care of Baogu. The wild boar is causing serious harm. In the past ten days before Baogu Huang, a group of people went there every evening.

The fields are patrolled, and wild boars only come out in the evening to harm people, so as long as they receive ten points, it will be fine."

Just as he finished speaking, Wang Laoliu's loud voice came: "Brother, don't say anything else. Just arrange the manpower. I don't think everyone here is a genius."

When the old village chief saw that his subordinates were all in agreement, he directly allocated manpower. As expected, Zhang Taiping became the captain of a five-man team. Although he was young, no one objected because his strong performance that day had already spread in the village.

When he went out, Zhang Taiping looked back and glanced at Wang Gui, who was sitting in the corner smoking. He always felt that this person was something special.

When I got home, I had another bowl of corn porridge, took a bath in the river, sat under the osmanthus tree and told Yaya a few stories until she fell asleep in my arms.

The next day, as soon as he opened the door of the central courtyard, a faint sweet fragrance hit him. Zhang Taiping was startled and raised his head. The osmanthus tree that had not bloomed for several years was covered with dense clusters of small pale white flowers.

I jumped up and picked a bunch of sweet-scented osmanthus, put it under my nose and smelled it. The four yellow-white petals couldn't stop the overflowing fragrance.

Osmanthus is a rare and precious thing. Not only is it beautiful and fragrant, it can also be used as a spice, drink, or food ingredient.

Osmanthus has a strong floral fragrance that will not dissipate easily. It has an elegant aroma that does not irritate people's nose. It has a refreshing fragrance and can eliminate various odors in the air. It is also easy to store and use. It only needs to be dried and pressed in a bottle or bottle.

The packaging is filled with white sugar and can be stored for a long time, so it is widely used as a spice. Osmanthus can also be made into osmanthus tea. The production method is simple, just put the freshly picked petals into boiling water, soak them aside, and then dry them

Drying. When drinking osmanthus tea, the tea leaves are pleasing to the eye and the aroma of the tea is overflowing. Take a sip and hold it in your mouth. The rich sweet aroma will go straight to your forehead, making you feel relaxed and happy. Osmanthus wine was also famous in the world, but now most of the secret recipes have been lost.

There are very few people who know how to brew. Osmanthus is also an ingredient that can be used to make soups and porridges. The most famous ones are osmanthus cakes and osmanthus yuanxiao.

Osmanthus can also be used as medicine. It has the effect of dispersing cold and breaking knots, resolving phlegm and promoting fluid production. It is formulated with Green Back Osmanthus, Horse Osmanthus, Osmanthus Osmanthus, Osmanthus Dew and Osmanthus Seeds. It mainly dispels cold and breaks knots, resolves phlegm and relieves cough. It is mostly used for toothache and cough with excessive phlegm.

, amenorrhea and abdominal pain.

There are many types of osmanthus trees, the common ones are red osmanthus, golden osmanthus, silver osmanthus and four seasons osmanthus. The color of silver osmanthus flowers is whiter, slightly yellowish, the leaves are thinner than other osmanthus trees, and the floral fragrance is almost the same as that of golden osmanthus and is not very strong. Silver osmanthus

Osmanthus blooms in autumn, and the flower color is mainly white, ranging from pure white, milky white and yellow-white, with a few special ones being light yellow. Silver osmanthus is divided into jade exquisite, willow-leaf silver osmanthus, long-leaf early silver osmanthus, seed silver osmanthus,

Baijie, Zaoyingui, Late Yingui, Jiulonggui and so on.

Judging from the flower shape and tree leaves, the one at home is Jiulonggui among the silver osmanthus. 'Jiulonggui' grows quickly and takes shape early, which is closely related to its strong branching power and large shoot growth. It is relatively

It is tolerant to water and moisture, and has strong drought resistance, but has poor disease resistance and is easy to lose its leaves. 'Jiulonggui' saplings will sprout new shoots three times a year, namely spring shoots, summer shoots and autumn shoots. Each time new shoots emerge,

It is purple-red and can last for 10 days to half a month. It can play the role of leaf tree species during these periods. 'Jiulonggui' starts to flower late, and generally can only bloom after it is 8 years old. The corolla is silvery white, and the pedicel is slender.

It looks like a string of white silver bells hanging from the branches, very cute.

The biggest highlight of the Kowloon osmanthus tree is the naturally twisted growth of its branches. According to fixed-point observations in 2004, the early spring and late autumn tips grow straight without bending; while the late spring, summer and early autumn tips must be naturally curved.

It grows to form a "dragon" shape. This may be the three types of young shoots: late spring shoots, summer shoots and early autumn shoots. Under direct sunlight at about 30°C, they will become soft and droop for a time. When the temperature drops, they will recover due to the polarity relationship.

It grows upwards and eventually forms twisted branches.

The dragon is the symbol of the Chinese nation. Throughout the 5,000-year history of our country's civilization, whether it is literature, paintings and sculptures handed down, or folk customs among the masses, images of dragons can be found everywhere. The branches of 'Nine Dragon Osmanthus' have unique shapes.

, its arc-shaped twisted branches are purely natural, without any artificial processing, which is a highlight of its cultivation and ornamental. Coupled with its purple-red new shoots and pleasantly fragrant silver-white corolla, it becomes a collection of greenery.

It is an excellent osmanthus variety that integrates beautification and fragrance. It is suitable for cultivation and ornamental use in citizen squares and public green spaces, and can also be used as high-end potted flowers in homes, hotels, conference halls, etc.

The sweet-scented osmanthus tree is a symbol of nobility, chastity, honor, friendship and good luck. Those who succeed in their official career and become successful are called "Zhegui". The myth of "Moon Palace Immortal Osmanthus" has given the world endless reveries. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, sweet-scented osmanthus has been widely used

It is used for cultivation and appreciation in gardens. In the poem "Lingyin Temple" written by Song Zhiwen, there is a famous poem that "the osmanthus falls in the middle of the moon, and the fragrance of the sky is floating outside." Therefore, later generations also call osmanthus "the fragrance of the sky". Li Bai in "Ode to the Osmanthus"

》In the poem, there is "I know that the osmanthus in Nanshan has green leaves and fragrant roots. The clear shade can also be supported, so why not plant it in the king's garden". It shows that the poet wants to plant osmanthus in the garden, so that he can appreciate it all the time and encourage himself at all times. This need

, leading to the cultivation of osmanthus in gardens becoming more and more common. For example, in "Linxuan Gui" by Mei Yaochen of the Song Dynasty: "There are no bad trees in the mountain, but there are green osmanthus bushes."

"Floating, Qingyin Medicine Balancing Song" implies that osmanthus has been transplanted to the peony railing in the poet's courtyard. In Mao Pang's "Osmanthus Song" of the Song Dynasty, "the osmanthus shadow on the jade steps is graceful in autumn" indicates that osmanthus was planted in front of the jade-colored steps. Ni in the Yuan Dynasty

In Zan's poem "Osmanthus", "Osmanthus leaves the evening color, and the shadow of the curtain is pale in autumn" points out that osmanthus is planted in front of the window.

In the long-term historical development process, Osmanthus fragrans has formed profound cultural connotations and distinctive national characteristics.

Therefore, there is now a "osmanthus flow" in the market. People love osmanthus trees and plant them one after another. Many osmanthus bonsais have emerged. Most of these osmanthus bonsais are grafted. They are famous for their unique shapes and long flowering periods, and are popular in the market.

, forming its unique cultural trend.

Zhang Taiping was stunned while holding a bunch of sweet-scented osmanthus. He was very open-minded and had great prospects in appreciating flowers and trees. In the future, he could cultivate some highly ornamental bonsai trees. If he was interested, he could also participate in a flower expo.

He came to the front room and waved the osmanthus flowers in front of his wife. She didn't understand what it meant. Zhang Taiping put the osmanthus flowers in his wife's hand and said.

"The sweet-scented osmanthus bloomed last night."

Cai Yazhi held this bunch of osmanthus flowers as if she was holding a peerless treasure, carefully. There is no woman who doesn't love flowers, not to mention this is the first gift from Zhang Taiping in the true sense.

Looking at his wife's sparkling eyes, Zhang Taiping lowered his voice involuntarily, fearing to disturb this charming shyness.

"Can you make sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

The wife shook her head, her face as if lightly powdered was full of curiosity, and she asked, can flowers be used to make tea or cakes?

Zhang Taiping replied: "I don't know whether other flowers can make cakes, but the osmanthus cake made from osmanthus is fragrant and extremely delicious. I remember that when my grandma was still here, she could eat osmanthus cake every year. It was the most delicious and delicious cake at that time.

After the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, I don’t eat anything else for several days, and regard the sweet-scented osmanthus cake as the main meal.”

Cai Yazhi gestured and asked, can you do it?

Zhang Taiping nodded and said jokingly: "I will teach you the method when the time comes. This is a secret recipe passed down from family. You must not let it out."

The wife nodded her head as seriously as a little Yaya.
