In the golden autumn, meet with friends and enter the Qinling Mountains. From chang'an Fengyu pass into the mountain, about twenty miles, to reach the Shixia Ditch. At the mouth of the Shixia Ditch, the people of the Second and Third Villages blocked the road. Asked why, the answer is that the chestnuts in the ditch are scattered all over the mountains, and it is the picking season.
Patiently tell the villagers that I am waiting to go to the farm, not just to pick chestnuts. Two or three miles into the ditch, the car stopped at the farm, known as the Happy Farmhouse. But in the courtyard, on the persimmon tree, the fruit is fruitful and mouth-watering.
Entering the house, there is a dustpan at the door, full of chestnuts, and the big one is like a quail egg. The owner surnamed Wei warmly informed that this was a new harvest in the mountains this morning, and if the guests were happy, they could take food and taste it themselves. Peel one or two of them and put them in your mouth, sweet and crispy.
See also a bamboo basket, not only chestnuts, but also chestnut balls. Among the bamboo baskets, a few weeds, a few chestnut balls, a few fresh chestnuts, this scene is evocative. Thinking of my ancestors, it has been more than a thousand years since I ate Qinling mountain goods.
The boss told Yu and others that Shixiagou is rich in chestnuts, every autumn, the villagers pick more, up to 1,000 catties, but unfortunately this thing, the price is not high, a pound of five yuan, and easy to insect moth, inconvenient to preserve.
At a high place, looking at the vast mountains, the Qinling Mountains are large, the ravines are longitudinal, and the products are abundant. The boss pointed to the mountains in the distance and said that most of the things he saw were chestnut trees. It's just a pity that Yu is an outsider, and it is really difficult to distinguish the chestnut trees in the mountains.
When the boss entered the kitchen and prepared meals for Yu and so on, he surrounded the happy farmhouse, and not far behind the house, he found a number of chestnut trees, a chestnut ball, and the mature one could fall with a gentle shake.
Get a chestnut, touch it lightly with your hand, prick people with needles, and the pain is unbearable, causing friends to laugh wildly. The boss said that this is an immature person, and after seven or eight days, the center of the hair ball will crack a crack, and the chestnut will be available.
Qinling Shixia Ditch, mountain farmhouse courtyard, delicious meals, friends after dinner recliner nap, half an hour later wake up, shout comfortable leisure. Before leaving, yu took the chestnut in the dustpan, the largest of which was six, and returned satisfied.
