Chapter 298: The country is a little strange

"Let's move on."

"Okay."

After walking for a while, Xiao Qingyue found a few cinnamon trees, which are also known as cinnamon.

He Jinhuai saw Xiao Qingyue staring at a few trees in a daze, so he walked over, "What's wrong?" ”

"Do you know what kind of tree this is?"

"I don't know."

"This is Cinnamon and its bark is an important one of the spices. But this kind of tree generally grows in the south, and I can't imagine that there will be such a thing in the country. Seeing this, I guess the star anise tree should be able to be planted. ”

If we refer to the modern territory, this kind of thing generally grows in western Yunnan, India and Nepal. And the star anise generally grows in Guangzhou, Fujian and other places, Yunnan also has, if there is Chai Gui here, it is impossible not to grow star anise. But in Jiangbei, a place with little cold and rain, how can this kind of thing grow? It's weird.

"And did the star anise you planted sprout?"

"It's out, but I'm afraid I'll freeze to death in winter. Let's go further. ”

After walking for a while, I found that there was still a large patch of wild ginger.

"Do you want to dig it?"

"Don't dig for the time being, this will dig up last year's old ginger mother, and when you dig in the fall, you can dig out more ginger." Xiao Qingyue looked around, and suddenly found a familiar seedling. Walking over to take a look, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Mom, why is this country so strange?" ”

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Qingyue took out the iron from the back basket, dug half a foot deep under the seedlings, and then dug out a piece of earth-colored things, "Have you ever seen this?" ”

"Nope"

"This is artichoke, the scientific name is Jerusalem artichoke, and the reason why it is called artichoke is because it came from the West. I wouldn't be surprised if this thing was grown on the Zhuangzi of a wealthy family, and they could get artichoke seeds. But growing up in the deep mountains and old forests, I'm weird. ”

It was first produced in the Americas, spread to Europe in the 17th century, and then to China.

"It's very crispy, you can boil porridge and eat it like potatoes, and you can pickle pickles, which is crispier than pickled radish. Come and help me dig some, let's get some back and eat them, and dig the rest when it's time. ”

"Oh."

When He Jinhuai heard this, he put down the basket and took out the shovel to help.

Xiao Qingyue asked at this time, "Aren't you curious why I know this?" Also Why do I know how to shoot an arrow? ”

"Curiosity kills cats." He Jinhuai replied very understandingly.

"If you're not curious, then I won't tell you."

"Hmm."

He Jinhuai thought to himself, don't tell me, otherwise you will confess before me, and when I confess, there will be no good fruit to eat.

After the two of them dug up a basket of artichokes, they looked around again, and this look really made her find a lot of spices, and she also met wild sheep and so on.

After hunting wild sheep and other things, returning to the wooden house, Xiao Qingyue put down the back basket, and heard the sound of wolves running.

"They're awesome!"

"That's nature."

Speaking of wolves, He Jinhuai was also quite proud.

"There's dry wood and a big tank of water at the back of the hut, you help me bake some things out, and I'll go and drag all the wild boars over."

"Okay."

"Wolves, go and help."

Hearing this, the wolf king cub roared again, and the wolf who had just come back followed He Jinhuai out.

Xiao Qingyue dragged up one robe, thinking that there were so many wolves, and she was afraid that one would not be enough, so she dragged two more to the back of the wooden house.
