Happy birthday to book friend "Xu Sha"!
==
This is how Xu Guangling's plan for a large grass and tree garden began.

This is not his home alone, more, in fact, it is still prepared for two old people.

If there are no two old people, with Xu Guangling's current level, he can stay anywhere, there is no difference between the mountains and the downtown.

He can stay with the ice in the Antarctic and the North Pole, or he can live near the equator near a volcano, he can live in a secluded place in the downtown area, and he doesn’t even rule out going through the back door to find a teaching position through the relationship with the big boss. Spend the day talking about comforting your parents' original intentions.

In fact, there is another possibility, a relatively large possibility, that is to travel all over the world, including domestic and foreign countries, to see the geography, landscape and human world of the whole earth.

These are all possible.

But now, all those possibilities are still in the "possible" state. Next, in the foreseeable period of time, one to two years, three to five years, longer is not ruled out, his footprint will only be based on this The mountain is the center.

After dinner, Xu Guangling explained his thoughts and plans to the two old people in more detail, and then asked the two old people what arrangements do they want?
For example, he can transplant a lot of vegetation, including medicinal herbs, what do the two old people want?

So wait.

This is a serious conversation, but it doesn't need to be serious at all. The atmosphere and rhythm of the three people's conversations are still the same as before, just like the gossip in the living room after class in the study room.

It's just that the location has changed from the living room to the current mountain tent.

A bonfire was burning blazingly at the entrance of the tent, and it was already the beginning of July, but the mountain, especially the mountainside, was still cold.The dew began to grow early, and above the campfire, far above, the stars were large and bright, and hung down across the sky.

The three of them sat scattered at the door of the tent, half inside the tent and half outside.

"When I was young, I lived in the countryside as a teacher. Some landscapes that are not landscapes, but now I think about them, but they are quite thought-provoking."

Mr. Zhang said slowly with the look of reminiscence, "The young and old leave home and the elder returns, and the local accent is hard to change. The mane hair is bad. When children meet each other, they smile and ask where the guests come from. This is Mr. He Zhizhang's resignation from the court. This is one of the poems I wrote after I returned to my hometown because of my job relationship, which is called Two Puppet Books of Returning Home.”

"It's been a long time since we parted from our hometown, and the personnel affairs have been half-finished recently. Only the mirror lake water in front of the gate, the spring breeze will not change the old waves." Xu Guangling cooperated and added the second part for the teacher.

By the way, I also commented briefly:

"The spring breeze does not change the old times, people change easily, but the landscape remains the same. For Mr. He, leaving the capital and returning to the countryside. On the one hand, visiting the old is half a ghost, and children do not know each other. On the other hand, even if there are old ones, Also because there is a large difference in knowledge and status between the two parties, it is impossible to talk in depth, and it is limited to greetings, so it is conceivable to focus on mountains and rivers."

Xu Guangling's words were also inspired by Mr. Zhang's previous days.

The two old men who were separated by thousands of years, on this point, it should be said that there is quite a bit of similarity.

Hearing Xu Guangling's words, Mr. Zhang nodded slightly.

Mr. Chen took it with a smile: "Lao He has another poem about Jinghu Lake, and it must be that one that your teacher wants to mention right now."

"Jishan is cloudy and misty, and the mirror water has no waves. Mo Yan's spring is full of fragrance, and there is no other middle-class collection of lotus. This one?" Xu Guangling asked slightly inquiringly.

"Exactly!" Mr. Chen clapped his hands with a smile, "At the beginning, my hometown was more than 100 miles away from your teacher, but I have been to his hometown. There is no big water, but there are many small waters. There are fields everywhere, and besides, there are many water chestnuts."

Don’t have the mid-stream water chestnut, the water chestnut is the water chestnut, the so-called two corners are the water chestnut, and the four corners are the water chestnut. In fact, there is a kind of water chestnut that does not have a single corner of the round shell.

Xu Guangling has eaten all three of these, and they all feel similar, and there is no specific difference.But this was a long time ago, an experience in his ordinary life.Now if you taste it again, of course you can clearly distinguish the similarities and differences between the three.

And even if he didn't taste it, based on the general summary of the properties of many plants, Xu Guangling can also know that it is a kind of good food and medicine dual-purpose plants.

In addition, the water chestnut is like this, and the lotus root is also like this.

Following Mr. Chen's words, and seeing the teacher's affirmation, Xu Guangling said: "Well, let's put the two things of water chestnut and lotus on the list first."

"For this purpose, we need to open up some paddy fields, ponds, etc. In addition, we should raise some loaches, rice field eels, crabs, fish and shrimp, etc.?"

"Stewed tofu with loach is good, you can make up your own mind about the rest, and Lao Chen and I don't have any special preferences in this regard." Mr. Zhang said.

"Yeah." Xu Guangling nodded, then smiled and said, "So, a stone mill for grinding tofu is also needed?"

Thinking of the usual breakfast of the two old people, steamed stuffed buns with tofu, Xu Guangling said again: "There is a stone mill, so we can make soy milk and tofu by ourselves in the future. It is definitely better than the one you eat by the park, teacher. Much, much better."

"Your Master Chen used to be a stonemason for a while, and he really did stone milling. I don't know if his skills have become rusty after all these years."

The two old people also laughed, and then Mr. Zhang said, "We two old guys are also good at grinding. You can't do this kind of thing when you are young. From now on, the two of us will be in charge of grinding for breakfast. You Just be responsible."

"Tofu requires beans." Xu Guangling said, "I know there are soybeans and black beans. Black beans seem to be divided into small black beans and large black beans. I don't know if there are more. Teacher, Mr. Chen, which one do you like? "

"Just soybeans and small black beans. Plant some of both." Mr. Zhang Lao said, "Besides, pea sprouts are also good."

That's three kinds of beans to plant.

Speaking of beans, we talk about five grains, millet, millet, wheat, bean, rice (hemp), rice in the south and hemp in the north, and among these five grains, the "bean" is beans.

Xu Guangling didn't know much about this aspect, at best he only had a half-knowledge. Although the books he read in the past few years were very complicated, they were far from comprehensive.

At this moment, the two old people quoted the classics and popularized them for him. By the way, they also popularized the ecological evolution of ancient planting and picking, from "Sunflower in the Green Garden" to "Caiwei in Changge", Since the pre-Qin period, all the way down.

If Xu Guangling sorted out what the two old people said, he could publish "The Evolution of China's Dining Table in the Past 2000 Years".

And in this narration, many, many plants were added one after another.
