Agriculture Idol

Chapter 49 Sending roses is not as good as broccoli, because eating is happiness

"Ah, the south is really warm!" Li Chengxin said to the camera with emotion, "My friends in the live broadcast room, can you believe it, it's December, and it's 12 degrees here where we are now!"

Brother Xiaoyong interjected: "Nanguo, no wonder so many people like it. Many old people in our village said that they would travel to the south in winter, and now I understand. Thanks to the crew, this is the first time I have come to the south at this time."

"Hello, friends in the live broadcast room, welcome to the live broadcast room of helping farmers in Hongming Village - although we have not actually broadcast many live broadcasts of helping farmers in Hongming Village, at least today's farmers and Hongming Village have a close relationship. Contact. After all, you have seen it before, it is snowing heavily over there, where are the vegetables for you to live broadcast?" Li Chengxin took out his mobile phone, and let the audience in the live broadcast room see the snow-covered houseboat and Hongming Village. photo.

"Hongming Village is really too cold, but there are still many scenes in the snow in "Lovesick Judgment". When the filming here is over, the snow scenes in Zhangba Island will probably be cleaned up." Brother Xiaoyong folded his arms Recalling the snowy days in Hongming Village, "I never expected that it was my first time flying by plane a few months ago, but now, a few months later, I often have to fly with the crew! Today, we come to the In the suburbs of the third warmest city in the country, I shot a vegetable that has become more and more popular in recent years. This vegetable actually has a flower language, love that is not exaggerated, but love that only cares about your feelings. You know this, Xin Waer What vegetable is it?"

"Huh? Why do vegetables have flower language?" Li Chengxin looked confused, "Is it the vegetables at this time?"

"Yes," Brother Xiaoyong nodded, "It's in season."

"Cabbage?" Li Chengxin asked suspiciously, "But didn't we interview Sister Ding just a few months ago?"

"Oh, forget it, who came up with the plan to let Xin Wa'er guess the crops?" Brother Xiaoyong lamented, "Haozi, I'm going to deduct your salary! Forget it, let's talk about it ourselves, we will interview food broadcasters today The target is—broccoli!"

Li Chengxin took out his mobile phone to search, and began to read to Encyclopedia: "Broccoli is originally produced in Italy along the Mediterranean coast of Europe. It entered our family at the end of the 19th century. According to statistics, broccoli is the vegetable that children do not like to eat. Third, by the way, the first is tomato, the second is green pepper, don’t worry, we’re all in line..."

[Is this just looking for something I don't like to eat and broadcast? 】

【Tricking me to eat vegetables again! 】

[To be honest, I didn’t like eating mushrooms at first, but after watching this show, I really like eating steamed pork with mushrooms...]

"...Although there are some people who are not used to eating broccoli, the sales of broccoli have indeed been gradually increasing in the past 40 years. The reason is that the vitamin C rich in broccoli is about twice that of lemon, and the dietary fiber content is It is 2 times that of cabbage. It also contains lycopene, isoflavones, anthocyanins and other antioxidant and anti-aging ingredients. It is rich in more than 2.4 chemical components that plants should have. From a nutritional point of view, it can be called 'King of vegetables'!"

Li Chengxin moved a few steps away, allowing the camera to capture the surrounding scene blocked by him and Brother Xiaoyong. On the open area behind them, all he could see was farmland, and a large piece of long-leaved plants grew neatly in the field, waiting for the camera When you get closer, you can see that the center of the plant with long leaves is the broccoli you usually see in the market: "So, we are now in Qiongdao City, the largest broccoli producing area in the country. Qiongdao City is very important to our country. Due to the influence of the Kuroshio Current flowing through the Pacific Ocean, the climate is warm throughout the year, but there are strong sea breezes blowing for most of the year. Another thing to say is that Qiongdao City has 30% of the residents Everything we do is related to agricultural production.”

Li Chengxin pointed to the people working in the field in the distance and said: "That is probably the farmer we are going to interview today, that is Uncle Chen. Does this name sound familiar to you? ... Yes, he grows leeks with our village Uncle Chen is a brother of the farmer and an old man in our Hongming Village. Uncle Chen started growing leeks at the age of 30, and Uncle Chen started growing broccoli at the age of 30. In this way, do you feel that this Are the two Uncle Chen really brothers? Even their temperaments are exactly the same."

While introducing them, Uncle Chen saw them and walked out of the field saying hello.Uncle Chen looks very similar to Uncle Chen, with about the same height, similar facial wrinkles, and even the jacket he wears is of the same brand.

"Hey, it's amazing. After such a long distance, you finally became a farmer. Uncle Chen, you didn't come out of Hongming Village to farm the land, did you?" Li Chengxin asked.

"Ha, after graduating from university, I actually worked as a reporter in a newspaper office. I was a local reporter in Qiongdao City. I was doing accident reporting. After doing it for a long time, I felt that my mental capacity might not be good enough," Uncle Chen paused. A few seconds, "You also know that in our tradition, it is very taboo to take pictures of the dead. At that time, I was young and ignorant..."

[I seem to have seen the beginning of a ghost movie]

[I vaguely remember that the first time I watched this live broadcast of helping farmers was in the middle of the night, it was the one with leeks, I really thought it was a supernatural live broadcast at the time]

[Having said that, I feel that there have been a lot fewer photos of accident reports in recent years. Is it because of radio and television or is it the same reason as Uncle Chen? 】

"...In short, I was really stimulated once, so I resigned and went home. I have a family here, and I have to do a job anyway. Qiongdao City is sparsely populated. It happened at that time that the country started to promote Planting broccoli, I also farmed in my hometown when I was a child, so I went to pick up a field and started growing vegetables, this is it, you can take a look."

Uncle Chen pointed to a large piece of land in front of him, and drew a virtual circle in front of him.

"This land can produce 50 tons of broccoli a year. I also use my experience as a newspaper reporter to make leaflets for the local broccoli industry, and take photos and post on Weibo from time to time for publicity."

"Uncle Chen is very fashionable! Let all the netizens in our live broadcast room pay attention to your Weibo!"

Seeing that Uncle Chen didn't seem to want to elaborate on the reasons for changing jobs that everyone was interested in, Li Chengxin was inconvenient to ask.

Next, following what Uncle Chen pointed out, the camera began to shoot broccoli ready to be harvested from a low perspective.

I have never seen broccoli, I thought broccoli was similar to ordinary cauliflower.In fact, the broccoli plant is taller than Li Chengxin imagined. There are three or four rows of long and narrow leaves growing around it. There are more than 20 leaves in total. Compared with the long and narrow leaves, the flower stems are a bit dwarf, and at the top are cyan mushroom-shaped tightly clustered flower buds. .

"Unexpectedly, it looks a bit like a potted plant," Li Chengxin commented, "Mainly, the ones I usually buy at the vegetable market don't have so many leaves. I really couldn't imagine that the broccoli plant looked like this."

"Haha, yes, many of the crops you see in the supermarket are different from when they grew in the ground."

Uncle Chen cut off a broccoli from the part near the soil with a smile, and chopped off the leaves with a knife. In an instant, there was only a flower bud the size of a fist left in Uncle Chen's hands.

"Wow, this is a big change!" Li Chengxin sighed.

Brother Xiaoyong took the broccoli from Uncle Chen and weighed it in his hand: "It's so heavy, and the buds are tightly packed. The shape is really cute...it looks like a mushroom cloud."

Not to mention, the buds of broccoli bulge out of small bulges on the thick flower stems. Rather than saying that it looks like a mushroom, it is better to say that it looks like a mushroom cloud.In addition, Zhou Hao is now squatting on the ground and shooting upwards. Under the background of the blue sky, a green "mushroom cloud" is held by Brother Xiaoyong. The netizens in the live broadcast room suddenly feel a sense of drama.

Brother Xiaoyong went on to say: "My family used to grow broccoli when I was young, but I couldn't control the temperature in the greenhouse very well, so I stopped planting it after a year. Now that I think about it, our family really doesn't grow broccoli. climate."

"Speaking of which, these are flower buds, can we keep the broccoli until it blooms?" Li Chengxin asked.

"Of course they can all bloom." Uncle Chen pointed to a few plants on the edge of the broccoli field, "there are a few over there that were harvested late and passed the harvest season, so they are simply kept to make them bloom. You can go and have a look .”

Li Chengxin walked over according to Uncle Chen's pointing, and saw that the broccoli had bloomed bright yellow flowers, densely packed, like a bouquet, very beautiful, and could be used as a decorative flower.

"I didn't think of it when I was talking about the language of flowers just now, but now I think of a stalk about broccoli, which has been ridiculed for a long time on the Internet: It is better to give broccoli than roses, because eating is the only way to be happy."

Li Chengxin held a broccoli and put it in front of the screen to let the netizens in the live broadcast room see the dense flower buds on it: "The edible part of broccoli is its flower buds, and there are about 3 to 4 flower buds on a broccoli plant." .I feel great strength from these buds, and if each bud is full of nutrients ready to bloom and gestate seeds, the nutritional content is really not to be underestimated.”

Uncle Chen’s endorsement generally reported a series of introductions: “The nutrients in broccoli are not only high in content, but also very comprehensive, mainly including protein, carbohydrates, fat, minerals, vitamin C and carotene, etc. According to analysis, Every 100 grams of fresh broccoli curd contains 3.5-4.5 grams of protein, which is 3 times that of cauliflower and 4 times that of tomato. In addition, the mineral components in broccoli are more comprehensive than other vegetables, calcium, phosphorus, The content of iron, potassium, zinc, manganese, etc. is very rich, much higher than that of the cruciferous cabbage. At the same time, the anti-cancer effect of broccoli is an important content of research by Western countries and RB scientists in recent years."

Li Chengxin was taken aback: "Uncle Chen, you are so proficient! Why does it sound like a shopping channel?"

Uncle Chen replied with a smile: "Ha, almost, almost, every year the agricultural product exhibition will be said several times!"

Brother Xiaoyong was also amused by Uncle Chen: "Really, after hearing this introduction, I instantly have the urge to buy it and eat it right away."

　By the way, the title of the chapter in each live broadcast is an Internet meme about that kind of food.
