Japanese ginger is delicious but not easy to dig. One reason is that they are crispy and easy to break, while Japanese ginger is easily dirty. They can absorb seasonings and flavorings well, and they can easily absorb soil and so on, so they will not be able to eat them.

Moreover, this area where the Japanese Ginger lives is on the hillside, with crushed stones underneath, which are difficult to dig with shovels and sabers. Sometimes you hit the gravel at once, and you have to lift the gravel to dig it out.

After digging for ten years, Qin Shiou was a little impatient and said, "Otherwise, forget it, don't dig it."

But Evosen was very patient and laughed and said, "I'll dig, you go and play."

Qin Shiou told him when he was digging before that this thing was delicious, and as long as the work was related to eating, Evosen would be particularly excited.

Bird's digging was also very smooth. He was a master of swords. A saber in his hand looked like a spiritual snake. The slaughter was like a ox. The gravel around the Japanese ginger was picked up like a ox, and then cut off the tubers.

Qin Shiou had to continue digging. He remembered that there were some open spaces on both sides of the river in the fishing ground, and in fact, Japanese ginger could be planted. In this way, eating Japanese ginger would be simple in the future and could be excavated with machines.

Japanese Ginger is a vegetation that is very suitable for planting in Canada. It can even be said that it is the most suitable vegetation that Qin Shiou knows and is the one that is most suitable for planting in humans.

First of all, it is very useful. Tubers are rich in starch and can be used as food for humans, while stems, leaves and flowers can be mixed with seaweed to make fish feed.

Tubers are also very rich in food. They are good to steam, cook, stir-fry, pickle, and eat. In Qin Shiou's hometown, Japanese ginger has always been a good pickle. In addition, it can also extract inulin and alcohol. Inulin is a good medicine for treating diabetes in medicine and is also a valuable industrial raw material.

Secondly, Japanese ginger is rich in polyfructose-inulin. After extraction, it can be converted into fructose oligosaccharides. The high fructose contained in fructose is added to E. coli and can be converted into biodiesel after being transformed into biodiesel after being added to E. coli.

Furthermore, this thing can also be used as food and beverages. The United States, Britain, France, Germany, Australia and Taiwan are all producing foods containing inulin and fructose oligosaccharides. The inulin extracted from the Japanese ginger has been used in dairy products, lactic acid bacteria beverages, solid beverages, candies, biscuits, jelly and cold drinks.

Qin Shiou has always wanted to make health foods, and Japanese Ginger is one of the generals, especially suitable for making health foods and elderly foods.

Thinking of this, Qin Shiou discussed with Bird, who also knew the devil ginger. Of course, this is called Jerusalem artichoke in the United States. They learned to find food from the wild when they were in the army, and Jerusalem artichoke was the first choice.

Bird said: "Even if we don't use health foods, we can eat a batch of Jerusalem artichoke ourselves, and we can also use it to make wine and drinks. The branches and leaves will not be wasted. Can we produce feed? right?"

Qin Shiou nodded and said, "You write it down, let's find some time to plant this thing when you go back."

Bird said it was no problem and said, "Actually, our fishing grounds are not suitable for planting this thing. It is better to go to Daqin No. 3 Fishery, where the temperature is higher and the light is more. By the way, isn't there a big river? The root system of Jerusalem artichoke is particularly developed. Each Jerusalem artichoke has hundreds of root systems that can be plunged into the land and protect the water and soil."

Jerusalem artichoke reproduction and expansion speed is particularly fast. It only takes two to three days to form a protective network woven from the stems and roots of Jerusalem artichoke, which can effectively and firmly hold the water and soil on the surface of the ground.

Qin Shiou nodded. Daqin fishing ground is also suitable. Jerusalem artichoke is cold-resistant and drought-resistant. Tubers can safely overwinter in the frozen soil layer at minus 30 degrees Celsius. In early spring, their seedlings can tolerate light frost, and their leaves in autumn can tolerate short-term low temperatures. They are not strict in soil requirements. They are not suitable for planting except acidic soil, swamps and saline-alkali areas. They can be planted in other places.

I didn’t see the figure of the Japanese ginger when I bid farewell to the island. It is common in most parts of the North American continent, and they are found on the roadside.

Even in many places, this thing has been regarded as a disaster vegetation. Americans and Canadians do not eat it directly, but send it to factories for reprocessing. Therefore, for ordinary people, Japanese ginger is useless.

But they have super strong regeneration and reproductive ability. They can reproduce almost continuously in one planting. As long as they enter the land suitable for their growth, they can live forever without being affected by the weather:

If you encounter severe drought and even if you have severe water shortage, it will only cause all the stems and leaves on the ground to die. When water appears, the stems in the ground will sprout and grow again. And if the tubers break, each can develop a new Jerusalem artichoke, and the annual proliferation rate can reach 20 times!

Moreover, they are not afraid of insect disasters and do not require a lot of nutrients. They do not need to be managed during the growth period. Once a contiguous area is formed, it is difficult for humans and animals to destroy their reproduction and development.

After they enter autumn, they will produce Jerusalem artichoke seeds, with a germination rate of 100%. If they are not harvested, these Jerusalem artichoke seeds will float to some places with the wind. As long as they are not in the extreme environment, they will settle down and sprout.

Discussing the method of planting Japanese ginger, Qin Shiou and the other two slowly harvested a backpack of tubers.

The tiger and leopard behind did not catch wild game. They followed them to pull the Japanese ginger and dig the ground quickly with their front paws. They could dig out a piece of Japanese ginger in a few dozen seconds. In this way, Qin Shiou could pick it up and his efficiency increased greatly.

At noon, Qin Shiou grilled some Japanese ginger and ate it, and skewed it with branches and hung it on the fire or throw it into a bonfire.

Wild Jerusalem artichoke has a higher sugar content. After peeling off the skin, the exposed flesh is covered with golden threads. It is similar to high-quality sweet potato in its mouth. It is sweet and sandy. After taking a bite of roasted Japanese ginger, the little girl stopped eating meat. She held Japanese ginger and ate it with relish.

When he returned in the afternoon, he went into the kitchen to clean the Japanese ginger and cut it into pieces, put it in the jar left by pickled salted duck eggs, pour in soy sauce and vinegar water, put it in the seasoning bag, cover it with a lid and marinate it. You can eat it tomorrow, very quickly.

After finishing his work, Qin Shiou went to the beer cottage to pour a large glass of fresh brewed beer, sat at the door while playing with his daughter while drinking beer.

Shaq went to the town and said after coming back: "Boss, Hughes asked me to tell you that there was a large group of European breams found in Chenbao Lake. The day after tomorrow, there would be a European bream fishing competition, and then another European bream feast. He invited you to participate."

After hearing this, Qin Shiou suddenly felt so distressed. He remembered the vermicelli in Chenbao Lake. In order to worry about the people who discovered them during the development of the fossil museum, he also sent them to the northern waters of Chenbao Lake, but he did not expect to be discovered.
