Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "There are so many, they are everywhere." The little girl gestured with her dirty hands.  "Wukong found it. We saw it digging and eating and we wanted to eat it too. Xiao Haoyu said that you told me before that you can't eat fruits you don't recognize. I'll come back and ask"

    I didn¡¯t want to hit the little guy because he was very alert. I really didn¡¯t teach him in vain last year.

    "This is Jerusalem artichoke. It looks the same as the ginger we have at home, but it is similar to sweet potato. It can be eaten raw or fried as a dish. It tastes very good." Liu Junhao saw everyone looking at the thing in his hand.  , explained with a smile.  Professor Zhao had eaten Jerusalem artichoke when he went to the countryside for inspection before, but at that time he only thought the dish was delicious and did not pay attention to its original form, so he did not recognize it.

    Just by hearing the name Jerusalem artichoke, he knew it was an imported product, and he didn¡¯t know when the Liujiagou area was introduced. In short, he remembered that when he was a child, there were many of them in front of and behind the house.  This thing is very trouble-free. It mainly reproduces by tuberous rhizomes, so no one needs to take care of it all year round. You can just dig a nest whenever you want to eat it.  Jerusalem artichoke tastes sweet when eaten raw, and when fried with salt, it tastes fragrant and fragrant.  But he is afraid of eating everything, and Liu Wuye is not very good at cooking, so he is lazy and saves trouble every time he cooks.  Throw a bunch of Jerusalem artichokes into the pot.  Therefore, during that time, he thought it was very appetizing whether it was sweet or salty.  Later, I don¡¯t know what happened, but within a few years, the Jerusalem artichokes in the village were dug up to the ground.

    "When someone thinks of this thing again, people who have searched everywhere but can't find it have never even heard of it.

    Liu Junhao was quite familiar with Jerusalem artichoke, so when he saw the palm-sized thing in Tongtong¡¯s hand, he immediately recalled it.  But he immediately began to wonder where these guys found them. It seemed that they didn't grow near his yard.  It couldn't be the puddle at the back of the yard. This was possible. The puddle was more than ten acres in size, and there were not only reeds but also wormwood as tall as a person growing in it. Liu Junhao couldn't get through it without any trouble.  Even in the past, I would not deliberately dig into the wormwood bushes to see if there are Jerusalem artichokes.

    "This thing can be eaten raw. I want to wash one" As soon as the little girl heard that it was edible, she immediately took out all the Jerusalem artichokes she had dug in her pocket.

    "My silly girl, you made your clothes so dirty and put them in your pocket?" Zhao Weihong stepped forward to help with a headache.

    "Haoyu asked me to pretend to be back." The little girl was scolded and did not forget to complain.

    ??Three times, five times and two times, those pieces of Jerusalem artichoke were cleaned cleanly.  This thing was very inconspicuous just now, but when its true colors were revealed, it looked very cute.  The pieces are milky white, placed on the white porcelain plate like a rockery made of jade stones.  Not to mention eating, just looking at it makes people feel comfortable.

    "It's delicious, just like a Sydney pear." As soon as it was washed, little Tongtong couldn't wait to grab a piece and stuff it into her mouth.  Children like to eat sweets, and this Jerusalem artichoke tastes crispy and sweet, which is very suitable for her taste.

    Several adults saw that the little girl ate so sweetly, so they also went up and broke off a small piece.  After eating it, I felt it was very good.

    "Didn't Liu Junhao say that this can be eaten as stir-fry? Let's go dig some and eat them as vegetables at noon." After Zhang Qian tasted it, she had the idea of ??digging.  Originally, she wanted Zhao Weidong and others to rest in the courtyard while she and her husband went digging together, but who knew that the remaining few people were interested in taking action.

    So, a large group of people followed Tongtong and rushed towards the back of the courtyard.  The previous guess was correct, the little girl led them all the way into the puddle.  Hearing people talking, Xiao Jianhui over there had already shouted loudly: "Aunt, uncle, come here quickly, we have found a treasure."

    "We found it, or Wukong helped find it." Ozawa corrected him.

    ¡­¡­

    "This is Jerusalem artichoke leaves." Liu Junhao followed the sound for more than ten meters and soon found a nest of Jerusalem artichoke leaves.  This plant is not low-growing, but it grows among the mugwort bushes. It takes away both light and fat from the mugwort, so it looks quite thin.

    ¡°This, I think I knew it last year,¡± Professor Zhao exclaimed in surprise.  Last fall, his soybean plant disappeared somewhere. He got into a puddle to look for it and accidentally discovered this plant.  Unfortunately, I was in a hurry to find Doudou and didn¡¯t pay attention at all.  Now follow Liu Junhao's hand.  Only then did he realize that he had missed a delicious food.

    "Uncle Liu, can that thing be eaten? Wukong ate a lot and you won't listen to me when I take it away?" Xiao Haoyu shouted excitedly when he saw the adult.

    "It's edible." Liu Junhao nodded.  Only when he saw the scenery in front of him did he realize that the glow was not just for show. There were indeed enough Jerusalem artichokes in this field.  It's so close that I don't even know it. It's too weird.

    "Let's dig. The Jerusalem artichoke rhizome is relatively shallow. You can dig it out with a small stick. But when you dig, be careful not to dig it all at once. You must leave a part, otherwise it willJerusalem artichoke is about to become extinct again.  "Following Liu Junhao's order, several people began to get busy. Strictly speaking, now is not the best time to eat Jerusalem artichokes. This thing will not mature until the first month.

    Zhao Weidong and others still enjoy the fun of labor, of course, the premise is not too tired.  After a while, everyone had mud on their hands, and now Zhao Weihong didn't bother to teach his daughter a lesson.

    Liu Junhao stopped when he saw that he had dug a lot of Jerusalem artichokes. Several people were still a little unfinished. The main reason was that the Jerusalem artichokes were so easy to dig that it took no effort at all.  Liu Junhao spent a lot of effort to dig up two nests with leaves, and planned to plant them in his yard later, so that he could use local materials whenever he wanted to eat.

    The little guys didn¡¯t pick up much cicada shells, but instead found Jerusalem artichokes, so their work was not in vain.

    At noon, it was naturally stir -fried meat. Zhang Qian did not let Professor Zhao go home and said that the two simply could eat together, so lively.

    Although the kitchen of Liu Junhao's house is not small, he can't get in and get involved.  Zhang Ma asked him how to fry Jerusalem artichokes and then drove him outside.

    In order to welcome the guests, Zhang Qian went to the town to cut fresh pork and beef in the morning.  Under normal circumstances, this local pork fed with grains would definitely be praised by everyone.  But it was useless today. Everyone kept using their chopsticks to pick up the ginger.  Except for Liu Junhao, it was the first time for everyone to eat this food, and they felt it was particularly fresh.  What's more, this Jerusalem artichoke does taste good.  Liu Junhao had not eaten this food for more than ten years, but now he suddenly tasted it and found it delicious.  But he is the master, and he is too embarrassed to compete with the guests for food.  No choice but to eat meat.

    The little guys didn¡¯t pay any attention to the adults¡¯ glances. They each took their chopsticks and raked in the bowl, picking out the Jerusalem artichokes.  In less than half an hour, the large bowl of Jerusalem artichokes had been picked cleanly, leaving only slices of meat in it.

    "Xiao Hao, this Jerusalem artichoke is pretty good. I've only seen it once elsewhere. Do you think there's any intention of planting it on a large scale?" After dinner, several people sat under the tree to enjoy the cool air. Professor Zhao suddenly asked  .

    "I can't say for sure." Liu Junhao thought for a while and finally shook his head.  He naturally understood what the old man wanted to express. After all, this product was fresh and tasted good. If it was grown on a large scale in the village, there should be a huge market for it.

    "Jerusalem artichoke does have many advantages, just like lotus root in the pond. As long as you don't dig out the roots once, you can dig them out every year. But the key is that the yield is too low. If you plant it too densely, the Jerusalem artichoke will form knots.  It¡¯s not as big as an egg, so it¡¯s not suitable for large-scale planting. And it¡¯s prone to black root disease. Jerusalem artichoke eats rhizomes, so if you get this disease, you won¡¯t even dare to use pesticides.¡±

    "It seems that I am arbitrary. There are inherent reasons for a crop to be eliminated." The old man nodded after listening to his analysis.  He has been dealing with fruit trees all his life, so he naturally knows that plants with high economic value are often accompanied by huge risks, and ordinary farmers simply do not have such courage.  As a new vegetable, it also takes a process to introduce Jerusalem artichoke to people's dining tables. During the market development process, any situation may arise, and the villagers simply cannot afford to bother with it.

    "But these Jerusalem artichokes are good to eat. It would be good to plant some in each courtyard." Things cannot be rushed. It is impossible to eat a fat man in one bite, so we can only try to do it slowly.  Professor Zhao is quite confident that once the Jerusalem artichoke is gradually recognized by tourists, its economic value will naturally come out.

    In the afternoon, the kid came over to play, and Liu Junhao specially gave him a piece of Jerusalem artichoke to eat. However, the guy didn¡¯t dare to eat anything and said it was ginger, and Liu Junhao wanted to trick him into eating it.

    "You naughty kid, you don't even know how to ask for good things when given. If you don't want to eat, I will eat it myself." He said "click" and took a bite.

    "It's really edibleswallow it and let me see." This guy was very cautious and had to watch Liu Junhao eat it before he spoke.

    ?? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of curiosity, Liu Junhao was very confused.  He had forgotten that Professor Zhao and others thought it was ginger when they first saw it.  Except for the difference in color, this thing is similar to ginger in other places, so people have to be on guard against it.

    The guy ate two pieces of Jerusalem artichoke and soon went into the woods with Xiao Haoyu and others to pick up wild eggs.

    "Xiaohao, my parent Lin didn't come?" Half an hour later, Liu Junqi came to the door.

    "Here, I went to play in the woods just now. What do you want to do with him?" Liu Junhao asked curiously.

    "The roots of his ears are itchy again, and he has no hope of moving. You asked him to come to your house to pick a few watermelons to eat, but he waited at home for more than half an hour and nothing happened. I guess he just forgot about it." He smiled bitterly.  Explain, I had known that I would come here in person just now.

    ¡°You wait, I¡¯ll pick it for you,¡± Liu Junhao said and turned around to go to the backyard.

    "Is this Jerusalem artichoke?" Liu Junqi was sitting by the flower pond. When he turned around, he saw two newly planted plants beside him.  He just sawHe was obviously taken aback when he saw it, as if Liujiagou hadn't seen this thing for several years.

    "You know him too?" Professor Zhao asked, nodding.

    "Well, we planted a lot of them in the village when I was a kid, but they were all dug up later. Where did you find them? Do you still have them?" Liu Junqi immediately started thinking about planting.

    "Haha, we just found it in the puddle behind the yard. We dug a lot in the morning. If you want to eat, we can bring some back later." Zhang Qian is not a stingy person. Seeing that he was very interested, she took the initiative to speak.  said.

    "Well, I haven't eaten it in more than ten years. I miss Jerusalem artichoke a bit. By the way, leave some for me in autumn. I also plan to plant a few nests in the yard. I had this idea the year before last, but after asking several villages, there is no one now.  Human race. I also thought that I might not be able to eat Jerusalem artichokes in this life"

    Regarding Jerusalem artichoke, I didn¡¯t check the information when I wrote this chapter. After I finished writing and uploading it, I realized that I was ignorant. It turns out that this thing is very famous.  It has been uploaded. I can only make slight modifications to the original chapter. I'm really sorry.  But I¡¯m very puzzled. This thing seems to be rare in our area. I remember that when I was in school, I brought Jerusalem artichoke to my deskmate. At that time, he thought it was ginger. I also referred to this situation when I wrote.  Haha, I saw someone on Baidu asking what Jerusalem artichoke is, so I could only reluctantly explain it. This thing is indeed rare in some places, but by chance, none of these people have seen it.
