Although with the convenience of transportation, in the market of Chang'an City, you can also buy all kinds of fresh fruits all year round, but the freshness is bound not to be exactly the same, apples and peaches these fruits, stored for seven or eight days are very fresh, can be preserved for seven or eight days of fruits, how can the freshness be compared with the fruits just picked from the fruit trees, this gap is not small.

Another point is the feeling in my heart, looking at the fruit produced on the fruit trees at home, the more I look at it, the more I like it, and I am more at ease when I eat, I will pick the huge fruit by myself, and put it in my mouth after a little cleaning, which is not an ordinary comfort.

Fruits ripened in autumn are the easiest to find, and it is easy to find high-quality varieties, while fruits ripened in winter and spring are more difficult to find, in order to find these fruits, Li Anke did not spend less money, just the dispatch fee of the manmaid is a lot of money, fortunately, Li An's income is not ordinarily high, and a little investment is nothing.

These fruit trees that mature in different periods, from different regions of the Tang Dynasty, some are still tropical varieties, when they enter Chang'an City, some are not adaptable, and it took a long time to slowly slow down, and successfully hang fruit.

Spring, summer and autumn ripe fruits, because the temperature is above zero, so, generally there will be no problems, but the fruits ripe in winter are different, because in Chang'an City of Datang, in winter, the lowest temperature can reach more than ten degrees below zero, in such a cold environment, the fruits ripe in winter will definitely be frozen, because the temperature of more than ten degrees below zero, will make the moisture inside the fruit all become frozen blocks, after thawing under the sun, the fruit will become slag, just like tofu in the refrigerator, When you take it out, it becomes frozen tofu full of small holes.

Pears are not a big problem, just can be made into frozen pears, but peaches and other fruits are not good, once the inside is frozen, the quality of the fruit is very bad, the appetite is also greatly reduced, even if it is a frozen pear, it is also a big difference with the taste of fresh pears.

The temperature in winter is very low, there are more than ten degrees below zero, but during the day, the general temperature can not reach so low, especially when the sun is out, the temperature during the day is still very good, so the winter fruit is frozen, mainly at night, so, as long as you pay attention to keep the fruit warm at night.

And the measures taken by Ang Lee are also very simple, one is to wrap a small padded jacket in all the fruits, and the other is to smoke under the trees in the cold night, and use the temperature of the smoke to keep the fruits warm, so as to ensure that the fruits will not be frozen.

These two methods are used together, as long as it is not a particularly cold snap, there will not be much of a problem, and Li An has personally experimented, there is indeed no big problem, all the fruits are not frozen, they are very tender, but the fruits in winter are too cold, and it is very bad for the stomach and intestines to eat directly, and it is better to scald it with hot water, so that it will not hurt the stomach and intestines if you eat it.

Tianshan pear, snow mountain peach, Jiangnan sweet pomelo, these winter ripening fruit trees from different regions of Datang, are all in Ang Lee's orchard, so that Ang Lee can eat these delicious foods in the winter.

The orchard is close to the corner, there is a small pavilion, the location is relatively hidden, sitting in this pavilion, you can enjoy the scenery of the entire orchard very well, you can also look up at the starry sky, however, it is too cold in winter, it will be colder to sit, you need to add a quilt to drape on your body, but if two people are together, you may not need these.

Ang Lee and Yan Ruyu walked together in the orchard, stopping from time to time to admire the winter fruits wrapped in cotton wool, which are not fixed, as long as you gently untie the rope, you can take the cotton wool down, and then you can clearly see the fruit inside.

The proportion of ripe fruit trees in the whole yard is not high, but there are more than 20 trees, except for the two peach trees in the snow mountain, the rest of the fruit trees are a single one, but if you distinguish from the main category, it is not the case, peaches, apples and pears belong to the large category, this kind of large category is not much, just a few, because these are the most common fruits, it is easier to take care of.

"Madame, do you want to taste it?"

Li An gently untied a cotton wool bag on the snow mountain peach, looked at a huge snow mountain peach, and spoke.

"Save it for the Chinese New Year! There are less than 200 peaches in the snow mountains, and the husband has to take out some to give away, so save it! ”

Yan Ruyu said very understandingly.

Two hundred snow mountain peaches, it seems like a lot, but in fact, there are not many, there are so many nobles in the capital, the palace and the nobles who are close to each other, or send a few, in this way, there are few who can leave for themselves.

However, in a few years, this tense situation will improve, because Li Ang has found a place and has built a special large greenhouse, in which hundreds of snow-capped peaches and other fruits are planted, as long as these fruit seedlings slow down and grow smoothly, then a large number of this top fruit can be harvested at that time.

To say, there are also a lot of nobles in the Tang Dynasty, why can't others imitate Ang Li and also plant snow-capped peaches in their own yards? Naturally, because they don't know how to do this, even if they are allowed to plant such peaches, either the fruit trees usually die of disease, or they will be frozen and rotten when the fruit hangs in winter.

Planting fruit trees also requires a certain amount of technology, people with good technology can plant tropical fruits in the cold zone, and people with poor skills, even if they are native fruit trees, he can not plant fruits, the story of pulling seedlings to help grow is not like this, local rice can be planted to death, this truth is very simple.

Of course, technology also needs to be accumulated, many of the technologies mastered by Ang Lee are impossible for people in this era to have, such as greenhouse technology, people in this era are impossible to come up with greenhouse technology, and there is smoke insulation, although this method is not difficult, but after all, it consumes too much material, even if someone can come up with it, they are reluctant to use this method, as for wearing a cotton jacket for each fruit, it not only consumes cotton wool materials, but also consumes very labor, if there are only a few trees down, it is easy to say, But if there is an orchard of hundreds of acres of land, then the situation is completely different, the labor cost alone is a huge expense, and the people of this era, where will they be willing to spend this unjust money, and will not understand the great significance of doing so.

In fact, even if the fruit is not ripe in winter, it can be bagged, so that the fruit can be protected from pests and diseases, and it can also be avoided from being eaten by birds.

Later generations of fruit trees have the habit of spraying pesticides, but the fruit sprayed with pesticides, eating will be very bad for the body, in order to keep the fruit from being contaminated by pesticides, wrapping a protective bag on the outside of the fruit is a very effective measure.

In addition, some fruits will be scratched by branches when they grow, but after having a protective bag, the fruit will not be scratched by the branches, so that the fruit will be more attractive and can be sold at a higher price.

Some fruits are irradiated by strong sunlight, the surface will be cracked, which will also affect the fruit, and with the protection of the bag, the surface of the fruit will not be cracked, which is good for improving the appearance of the fruit, although the nutrition of the fruit has nothing to do with the appearance, but the guests are all beauty-loving, will always prefer the fruit with high appearance, especially the rich class, but also has a soft spot for high-value fruits, even if it costs several times more money, it is also very willing, as for why this is so, Naturally, because they have a natural sense of superiority, they always feel that they deserve the best of everything, even eating fruit.

The technology of apple bagging is only available in later generations, in ancient times, no one would be able to think of this, and according to the technology of later generations, an acre of orchard, about 10,000 or 20,000 fruits, this is still the best of the best selected, and the excess fruits should be all removed, so as to ensure the size and appearance of the remaining fruits.

The fruit that is left behind is a single fruit with a good head, and it is definitely not possible to connect multiple together, but also the fruit with a long fruit stalk, a large and upright fruit shape, and no pests and diseases, and then it can be bagged.

In addition, in order to ensure the commerciality of the fruit, it is best to take some technical measures, so that when the fruit grows, there will be Chinese characters such as Fu Lu Shou on the surface, so that it is even more commendable, and what is more powerful is to use abrasives to limit the growth of the fruit, so that the fruit can appear in a specific shape, and even the ginseng fruit in the shape of a human can be made, so that it has more market prospects.

Li An didn't engage in abrasive fruits, but just bagged them, and let each fruit appear a certain amount of Fu Lu Shou Chinese characters, because abrasive fruits are sick, appetite will not be improved, and the utilization rate will be relatively low, and it doesn't feel good to eat.

"Even if you don't eat it, it's good to smell it, it's so fragrant!"

Li An sniffed lightly and spoke.

Ripe fruits, there will be an intoxicating fragrance, the more ripe the fruit, the sweeter the taste, the smell is very comfortable, however, you must put your nose close to the fruit to smell, a little farther away, you can not smell the aroma of the fruit at all, especially the moment the bag is taken away, as long as the nose is near the mouth of the bag, you will be able to smell a very sweet smell, a refreshing smell.

Yan Ruyu also followed Ang Li's example, gently put Qiong's nose next to the snowy mountain peach, took a few deep breaths with bated breath, and then closed her eyes with satisfaction.

Li An took advantage of the situation to hug Yan Ruyu from behind, and said softly in his ear: "Although the peach is fragrant, compared with the aroma of Ruyu, it is much worse, it is so fragrant!" It smells so good. ”

Smelling Yan Ruyu's neck with satisfaction, Li An also closed his eyes, no matter how fragrant the fruit was, it couldn't be compared with a woman's body fragrance, especially a beautiful woman with excellent appearance.

The fragrance of fruit is pure fragrance, and women's body fragrance will have more meaning, will make people have more associations, can bring more happiness, as long as it is a normal person, will prefer body fragrance, even when hungry.

Yan Ruyu obviously guessed that Li An would be like this, this is not the first time, being held by Li An from behind, she feels very comfortable, an indescribable comfortable feeling.

It's a pity that today's sky is relatively dark, and there is no moon and stars, otherwise, the two of them can enjoy the scenery of the sky while hugging.

Although they are already old husbands and wives, Yan Ruyu is very well maintained, she is still a beautiful woman, a beautiful woman who can be tempted by Li An at a glance, they all say that there is a seven-year itch, saying that after two people are together, they will not feel it for a long time, and they will dislike each other, but Li An and Yan Ruyu have never felt this way together, and they seem to feel better and better.

In addition to Yan Ruyu's natural beauty and good maintenance, it is also related to Li An's many wives and concubines, after tasting other women, you will know that Yan Ruyu is good, it is estimated that the reason why the emperor favors Yang Yuhuan alone is also because Yang Yuhuan is different from other women and can bring different feelings to the emperor.

"Husband, I'm so tired! Let's go sit in the pavilion! ”

Yan Ruyu said softly.

She knew very well in her heart that only when she arrived at the pavilion could she lie in Li An's arms smoothly, without support under the fruit tree, and things were not easy to do.

"Okay, listen to Madame."

Li An smiled faintly, took Yan Ruyu's hands, hugged Yan Ruyu gently, walked slowly to the small pavilion next to him, and gently kissed Yan Ruyu's forehead as he walked, which was regarded as compensation for her waiting for her tonight.

"It's been more than half a month to snub Mrs., and I will make up for it tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high here, and there is no one around, which is a good place to hurt people."

Li An sat lightly on the chair in the pavilion, pulled Yan Ruyu into his arms, and said domineeringly.

"My husband remembers wrongly, it's not been more than half a month, and the last time the concubine went to bed was nine days ago, and it was in my room."

Yan Ruyu said with a slight reproach.

This kind of thing, how could Li An remember it too clearly, as an important talent in the Tang Dynasty, Li An is a person who does great things, this kind of thing is just a pastime, of course, there is no need to remember every day, so many people can't remember it, but Yan Ruyu is different, she can't sleep for a few days a month, so she naturally remembers every lingering night.

Li An frowned slightly, looked at Yan Ruyu's eyes, and said with a faint smile: "It's only been nine days!" It's not half a month yet, so I'll go back today, and let my wife sleep in a few days. ”

After speaking, he wanted to push Yan Ruyu away, but he didn't use force.

"Don't."

Yan Ruyu said coquettishly: "Husband, I want it." ”
