    The father and son were talking on the phone. Suddenly Yuan Jianguo changed the topic and said in a strange tone: "Benchu, if you have time to talk to Huilan, listen to their teacher. She has been doing something right recently!"

    Something's wrong?  Could it be that it's still the same thing as before?  Yuan Benchu ??thought of Yuan Huilan's expression that was a bit abnormal when she returned home half a year ago. After some teachings, Yuan Benchu ??explained the troubles of puppy love. Could it be that she has not stepped out of this circle yet?

    There are still a few months left before the college entrance examination. IsnˇŻt this ruining your future?  Judging from Yuan Jianguo's tone, the head teacher called me and the situation must have become more troublesome. What is the reason?

    "Dad, don't worry. I'll go to the school to find out the situation in person in a few days. It's the college entrance examination. If she makes you worry about it, isn't she going to jump into a pit of fire?" Yuan Benchu ??is the eldest brother after all, and his sister has arrived.  It's a critical period, no matter who cares, the parents are old and running around really shouldn't be the case, and Yuan Huilan has always had a close relationship with Yuan Benchu, but she is secretive to her parents, even if Yuan Jianguo goes to high school in Xiangcheng.  Looking for Yuan Huilan may not have any effect, or it may have a counterproductive effect.

    Girls in the rebellious stage are the most difficult to deal with. At least Yuan Benchu ??and Yuan Huilan are not far apart in age, so they will adopt a softer approach. The most important thing is that it is impossible to get more information about this matter from Yuan Jianguo on the phone.  For detailed information, you can only refer to it yourself.

    After hanging up the phone, Yuan Benchu ??walked around the farm a few times and found that the ancient walnut tree that he hadn't seen for a long time seemed to have changed.

    The historical origin of playing with walnuts dates back to the Han Dynasty, and became popular in the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao, not only kept walnuts in his hands, but also carved them himself.  There is also an unofficial history circulating among the people that "playing walnuts and forgetting state affairs, Zhu Youxiao took charge of the case".  The Qing Dynasty reached its heyday. As long as we talk about "playing" the Qing Dynasty must be in its heyday. Why do we say this?  After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the bannermen had hard-core crops. They spent all day eating, drinking and having fun, and they understood all the "play". Therefore, the heyday must be the Qing Dynasty.  Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was not only a walnut lover but also a great connoisseur of walnuts. It is said that he even wrote a poem to praise playing with walnuts: ˇ°The sun and moon spin in the palm of my hand, and time seems to flow back.

    "When the energy and blood are surging throughout the body, when will the bald head be?"? Gengshi was popular in the late Qing Dynasty, as evidenced by a folk song at the time: "If you don't leave your hand with walnuts, you can live eighty-nine years."  If you surpass Qianlong, the King of Hell will not let you go!ˇ± The trend of playing with walnuts in the palace became even more popular. Whoever had a pair of good walnuts became a symbol of status and taste at that time. Whenever the emperor celebrated his birthday, ministers would give the best walnuts as birthday gifts  Consecrated to the emperor, there are still more than a dozen pairs of walnuts in the Palace Museum in Beijing, all placed in small rosewood boxes.

    There are also words written on Huang Lingzi inside: "So-and-so Baylor Gongjin" and "So-and-so Prince Gongjin".  The last emperors Aixinjueluo and Puyi also mentioned Wenwan walnuts in the book "My First Half of Life". He said in the book: "In the warehouse behind the Yangxin Hall, I also found many interesting treasures.  It is said that this is Qianlong's plaything." He also wrote: "The treasure box is made of red sandalwood, and one of the compartments contains several pairs of brown-red walnuts and a walnut carved with stories about ancient figures." There is a story in the old capital.  There is a jingle that goes well: "Baylor has three treasures in his hand, and the bird in the walnut cage is the bird in the walnut cage!"

    It can be seen that the custom of playing with walnuts was very popular among the banner people at that time.  Later, ordinary people rushed to imitate it, and then it began to gradually decline. In recent years, it has sprung up and revived.  In the past two years, most elderly people played with walnuts, with the clear purpose of relaxing their muscles and activating blood circulation.  There has been a sudden change in the past two years. The people who like walnuts have become young people, and there are more and more people. But the purpose is different. It is not to relax the muscles and activate blood circulation, but for some to increase the value of walnuts and make money, and for some to make money.  collect.  In this way, walnuts that could be bought for tens or hundreds of yuan in the past were sold to thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan, once again proving the saying "when everyone adds firewood, the flames rise".  A new generation of "Children of the Eight Banners" was born again.  In fact, what we generally call Wenwan walnuts can be roughly divided into three types: iron walnuts, catalpa seeds and hemp walnuts.

    While hemp walnuts are used as playthings, they have also become an art treasure favored by players through carvings by folk artists. Artists carve images and patterns of various animals and characters on small walnuts to convey their sustenance.  The beautiful meaning expresses peopleˇŻs expectations and yearning for the future.

    Peach wood, also known as "fairy wood", is the most widely used material for exorcising evil spirits and making ghosts.  The reason why peach trees have such magical power is rooted in the ancient people's mysterious concept that peach trees are feared by all ghosts.  Therefore, "walnuts" are also endowed with such mysterious magic power. People who often hold walnuts with mysterious powers in their hands can bring good luck and avoid disasters.

    The earliest core material for core carvings in the Ming Dynasty was peach cores. After the Ming Dynasty, it was not until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty that core carvings such as flower boats and figures carved with olive and walnut cores appeared.  Most of the walnut carvings in the Ming Dynasty are immortal figures, evil beasts and mascots.etc.  As a fashion item, small walnut carvings have entered the lives of dignitaries. On the one hand, they can be admired, and on the other hand, they have become a symbol of wealth.

    Nowadays, walnuts are mostly for people to play with or collect.  Because of its special materials and craftsmanship, the potential for appreciation cannot be underestimated.

    Many people may not know much about walnuts. Hemp walnuts are hard in texture, have unpredictable surface patterns, are hollow in the middle, and have many irregular hollows in their cross-sections. Hemp walnut carvings are not popular around the world.

    It is different from other sculptures and paintings. Wood carving can be created as you like. Walnut carving is an art that uses nature to make concrete sculptures on small special materials. It pays attention to every detail and combines the wonders of the world.  .  Among the hemp walnut carving artists, Yang Hongwu is also good at hollow walnut carving. Among his openwork treasures, "Conch Fairy" is the most outstanding.  In addition, the selection of materials for walnut carving is very important. Sometimes in order to find a peach stone that is similar in shape to your own idea, you have to look for several sacks of walnuts to select it.  Therefore, this small walnut carving really shows the long-standing folk craftsmanship of the Chinese nation. Each walnut handicraft is the hard work of the sculptor.

    The four famous high-quality walnuts are lion head, tiger head, official hat, and son's hat, such as white lion head, Mopan lion's head, wheat ear tiger head, official hat, Baihuashan son's hat, four buildings, Nanjiang stone and other fine hemp walnut varieties.  .

    Yuan Benchu's ancient walnut tree was moved from the Sijiang Dong Village and has a long history. After being catalyzed by the sacred soil, it not only has a lot of vitality, but also provides Yuan Benchu ??with several pairs of fine quality walnuts.  It was precisely because of him that Yuan Benchu ??had the start-up capital and turned it into an asset with a considerable net worth. It is no problem that he can earn tens of millions per year from the buffalo milk in the ranch, not including the income from the calves he gives birth to.

    Yuan Benchu ??is quite sentimental about this Guma walnut tree. It shouldnˇŻt bear fruit at this time of year!  Yuan Benchu ??was secretly surprised. He climbed to the top of the tree and took out a snow-white walnut. It was different from all other varieties. At this moment, the shape of the walnut was thought-provoking. Yuan Benchu ??couldn't help but murmured to himself: "What is the use of this white walnut?"  Huh? ItˇŻs just one, and the unpaired ones canˇŻt be sold at a good price, so just keep it and see whatˇŻs the use of it.ˇ±

    ˇ°After all, I climbed such a high tree and got a little-known white walnut. No matter what, I finally gained something.  Later, Yuan Benchu ??wandered around and found wild cherry tomatoes nearby.

    Cherry tomatoes, also known as cherry tomatoes, pearl tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes, are both vegetables and fruits.  It can also be made into preserves. The diameter of the fruit is about 1 to 3 centimeters, bright red and translucent (there are also new varieties in medium yellow, orange, emerald green and other colors). It tastes sweet, seedless, has good taste, high nutritional value and unique flavor.  , which has the best of both worlds, both edible and ornamental, and is favored by consumers.  The plants of this product grow rapidly, and the fruits can mature 70 days after the seedlings are planted, and can be picked continuously for 3 months. The yield per mu is more than 4,000 kilograms, and the benefits are good.

    Cherry tomatoes, also known as small tomatoes and fermented tomatoes, are annual herbaceous plants belonging to the Solanaceae family. The plant can grow up to 2 meters at its highest.  It can be cultivated all year round in my country.  It's just that in the north, it only grows one season every year, and the rest of the time is grown in greenhouses. Compared with open field cultivation, the taste is very different.  In South China, due to the suitable climate for the growth of cherry tomatoes, you can eat open-field cultivated cherry tomatoes with pure taste from July and August every year until February of the following year.

    Cherry tomatoes are commonly known as pocket tomatoes and mini tomatoes. They are a member of the tomato family.  The fruit shapes are spherical, pear-shaped, and gooseberry-shaped, and the fruit colors are red, pink, yellow, and orange. Among them, red is the most cultivated type. Because it looks like cherries from a distance, it is named cherry tomato.  Cherry tomatoes are a very good health and nutritious food, especially suitable for the current trend of people pursuing naturalness and health.  Cherry tomatoes have an exquisite and cute appearance, a high sugar content of about 7 to 8 degrees, a sweet and delicious taste, and a unique flavor.

    The root system is developed, the regeneration ability is strong, and there are many lateral roots, most of which are distributed within the soil layer 30 cm above the soil surface.  The plants grow strong and have self-topping stems, and there are fewer varieties; there are plants that grow indefinitely, with a height of more than 2 meters.  The leaves are odd-pinnate compound leaves with many and thin leaflets. Due to the small size of the seeds, the first pair of cotyledons and several true leaves are slightly smaller than ordinary tomatoes.  The fruits are bright and come in red, yellow, green and other colors. The weight of a single fruit is generally 10-30 grams. The fruits are mainly spherical.  The seeds are smaller than regular tomatoes and heart-shaped.  It is densely covered with hairs and weighs 1.2 to 1.5 grams per thousand grains.

    Cherry tomatoes are also known as "little golden fruit" and "love fruit" abroad.  It is both a vegetable and a fruit. It is not only bright in color and beautiful in shape, but also delicious and nutritious. In addition to containing all the nutrients of tomatoes, its vitamin content is 1.7 times that of ordinary tomatoes.  It is listed as one of the "four major fruits" prioritized for promotion by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

    Cherry tomatoes contain special properties such as glutathione and lycopenespecial substance.  These substances can promote the growth and development of the human body, especially the growth and development of children, and can increase the body's resistance and delay human aging.  In addition, lycopene can protect the human body from carcinogenic toxins in cigarette and car exhaust, and can improve the body's sun protection function.  In recent years, scientists from the United States and Germany have discovered that lycopene in tomato products can not only prevent and fight cancer, especially prostate cancer, but can also treat prostate cancer.  The vitamin PP content in cherry tomatoes ranks first among fruits and vegetables. The role of vitamin PP is to protect the skin, maintain the normal secretion of gastric juice, promote the production of red blood cells, and also has an auxiliary treatment effect on liver disease. It can also be used for beauty and sun protection.  The malic acid or citric acid contained in cherry tomatoes helps gastric juice digest fat and protein.

    Cherry tomatoes are a member of the tomato family. Tomatoes are also known as tomatoes, persimmons, persimmons, etc.  The origin center of tomatoes is the Andes Mountains of America. There are also a large number of wild species distributed in Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and other places.  It is an annual herbaceous plant of the Solanaceae family.  The genus Tomato is divided into two complex species: common tomato and Peruvian tomato.  Common tomatoes are cultivated species; Peruvian tomatoes are wild species.  Therefore, cherry tomatoes are the ancestors of todayˇŻs cultivated tomatoes.

    As early as the end of the 15th century, Indians began to grow tomatoes, which were introduced to Europe in the early 18th century. Tomatoes began to be eaten at the end of the 18th century.  According to research, there were tomatoes in China about 2000 years ago. Domestically grown tomatoes were introduced from Europe and Southeast Asia. The fruit tree appendix of "Guangqun Fangpu" of the Qing Dynasty contains a record of "Persimmon": "The stem is like artemisia."  , four to five feet high, with leaves like mugwort and flowers like pomegranates. One branch bears five or three or four fruits It is also an herb, coming from Xifan, hence the name.  Because tomatoes have a special taste, they were mostly cultivated for ornamental purposes at that time. By the beginning of the 20th century, they began to be cultivated and eaten in the suburbs of cities.  Domestic cultivation of tomatoes developed rapidly in the early 1950s.  It has become the main variety planted in vegetable areas in megacities.  In addition to being eaten as vegetables, tomatoes are also eaten as fresh fruits.

    The so-called cherry tomato in China is actually a collective name for wild-type subspecies and semi-cultivated subspecies. Its main fruit is small and looks like a cherry.  Most of them were cultivated in the 1980s as tomato hybrid parents.  Cherry tomatoes are suitable for refrigeration and processing, canned tomatoes, and can be used as decorative vegetables. They are now on hotel banquet tables.

    ?? Cherry tomatoes are hybrid first-generation small tomatoes with uniform fruit size, sufficient redness, high sugar content, bright color, no cracking, sweet and delicious taste, and can withstand refrigeration.  Cherry tomatoes are suitable for garden and indoor cultivation, and are both ornamental and edible.

    Cherry tomato plants grow vigorously, with spreading stems, thin and short yellow hairs on the body surface, large leaves, deep notches, long lobes, apex acuminate, oval, oval or round, and the inflorescences are mainly single racemose, or  Occasionally there are branched compound racemes with fewer flowers, usually 5 to 6. The calyx and petals are almost the same length, the ovary is spherical, the stigma is short or as long as the stamens, and the fruit is spherical, with fiery red, pink,  Golden yellow, etc., 2 ventricles, occasionally 3 ventricles.  The fruit is smooth and the seeds are heart-shaped and downy.  Cherry tomatoes are highly resistant and are the original material for disease-resistant breeding.

    The suitable temperature for the growth and development of cherry tomatoes is 20-28ˇăC. The seed germination period requires a humidity of 25-30ˇăC. It is difficult to germinate below 14ˇăC.  The temperature during the seedling stage is 20-25ˇć during the day and 10-15ˇć at night.  During the flowering and fruit setting period, the temperature is 20-28ˇăC during the day and 15-20ˇăC at night. If it is lower than 15ˇăC, the growth and development will be slow. When the temperature is higher than 35ˇăC, the plant will grow slowly and it will also cause flower and fruit drop.  During the fruit development period, the temperature is generally 24-28ˇăC during the day and 16-20ˇăC at night. The temperature difference between day and night is maintained at 8-10ˇăC.

    The taste of wild cherry tomatoes is even more wonderful. Yuan Benchu ??picked a few bright red cherry tomatoes, wiped them with his clothes and ate them directly. The juice flowed all over the ground. Unlike tomatoes grown in vegetable greenhouses, cherry tomatoes are extremely delicious.  It is refreshing and sweet, and the most important thing is that no pesticides or fertilizers are used, and it is all natural and green food.

    "I'm tired of eating pomegranates every day. I can take some cherry tomatoes and plant them in the Taoyuan space. They can not only be eaten raw but also used for cooking." Yuan Benchu ??thought of this and put some cherry tomatoes in his pocket to make seeds, planning to plant them at night.  In this space, you can eat whatever you want, how happy it is.

    At this time, the sentimental Fan mother and son came out and saw Yuan Benchu ??picking cherry tomatoes. Fan Yingxi said: "Boss Yuan, Fan Ba ??and I often eat these cherry tomatoes when we are thirsty. They taste pretty good.  "

    "Yes, life in the countryside is much better than life in the city. It's no wonder that today's rich people are trying their best to live in the countryside. Isn't it because we can't eat such things in the city?" Yuan Benchu ??ate several cherry tomatoes in a row,  With an unfinished expression, he temporarily forgot about Yuan Huilan.

    "Thanks to Yuan Benchu, we, mother and son, have a place to live and live, and can eat food that we never dared to think about before." Fan Yingxi suddenly felt that her previous arguments were somewhat useful, otherwise she would not have been able to get the food she wanted according to her bad deeds.  Due to Yuan Benchu's favorable opinion, the management rights of the farm are probably going to be transferred.

    ?Fan Ba ??was also grateful and said: "Brother Yuan, I will definitely work hard in the future! I will live up to your expectations!"

    The two people must have said something in the room to express their stance to Yuan Benchu. This is normal. Having a hope makes the goals of Fan and her son more clear. They are new to the country and have no relatives or friends. They are dependent on each other.  Living in Longcheng, Yuan Benchu ??understood their current situation when he first met Fan Ba.

    If he was just working part-time and had no hope of buying a house or starting a business, Fan Ba ??would definitely find another place. Fan Yingxi did this just to have more financial security while his son worked hard on his own.  The conditions offered by Yuan Benchu ??today made Fan Yingxi feel ashamed. He did not expect that Yuan Benchu ??would plan to transfer such a good place to Fan Yingxi and Fan Ba ??for management, which would give them more motivation.

    "Don't talk about this, I have to work down-to-earth. You will have bread, a house, a car, a wife, money and everything else! Are people afraid of not being able to stand in this society if they are capable?" Yuan Benchu ??felt that Fan Yingxi was too young.  I'm impatient. I've only been working for a long time, and I'm thinking of going it alone. Let's learn the skills first.

    Although the farm is only ten acres of land, if it is fully equipped and well managed, it can still produce hundreds of thousands per year. They need to grasp this slowly. Yuan Benchu ??only provided a general guideline, and everything will be fine in the future!  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (this site) to subscribe and reward.
