Three men and a child watched her strange behavior through the car window
Qin Yuan curiously asked Sang Bei, who seemed to be silent, "How long has your sister been in this condition? Didn't you go to see her?"
The half-teasing, half-doubting tone successfully earned Sang Bei a roll of the eyes.
Jiang Yan is a man of action. He opened the car door and walked towards her.
Sangzhi was not possessed by evil spirits. The reason she was so happy was that she found a treasure here, the maple sugar tree.
This thing is also called sugar maple or maple, and is native to the hardwood forests of North America.
Because it has strong adaptability, it is resistant to dryness, cold, drought and barrenness, and can grow in a variety of soil types.
Therefore, it is grown in some areas of China.
In her previous life, when she traveled abroad.
I once saw farmers in a small North American town collecting sap from maple forests and making maple syrup using firewood.
The sap of the sugar maple tree is considered a herbal remedy provided by God.
Collecting infusions and boiling syrup to make maple syrup has also become a traditional ritual in the local area.
Maple syrup is rich in minerals, trace elements and organic acids, and its calories are lower than fructose, sucrose and other sugars.
It's not as sweet as honey, but when processed into a finished product and put in pancakes and toast, it tastes amazing.
It is obviously a more precious sugar, but because it is an alien species and the public lacks awareness, few people know about it.
Although the raw materials for sugar production in the north are sugar beets and in the south are sugarcane, during the planned economy period, these production amounts were far from enough to supply the general public.
Sugar is too scarce, so as long as she can make sugar, she doesn't have to worry about not having channels to sell it. In her eyes, these trees are real money-making trees.
Sangzhi has been worrying about how to make money recently.
Although she has the system plug-in and doesn't have to worry about food and drink, she can't exchange it as she pleases.
She is a good doctor.
But now hospitals and clinics are all collective in nature. If she wants to open a private clinic, the procedures alone will be enough to hold her back.
In the future, she has to support Sang Bei and find Sang Nan. How can she do that without money?
Now is the opportunity.
Jiang Yan stood behind her and looked at the tall deciduous tree.
This tree is tall and strong, which is really rare.
Maybe the money stimulated her, Sangzhi was so excited that her face was beaming with joy, pointing to a large group of trees in front of her and explaining to him.
"This is called a maple sugar tree. It can produce sugar."
“Maple syrup?”
Jiang Yan immediately uttered a name.
He remembered that his aunt had brought some back from abroad, and that the Friendship Store in Beijing also had some.
But this kind of thing is precious. Many people around him have never even heard of it, let alone eaten it.
How did Sangzhi know?
Of course, I used to be afraid that she was a spy, so I was wary and suspicious of her.
Now that the spy has been caught and her suspicion has been completely cleared, Jiang Yan is no longer so curious.
Since it does not endanger social stability or damage national interests, why should he dig into the matter?
Sangzhi was still immersed in joy, "Yes, maple syrup, I didn't realize you are quite knowledgeable.
The roots of this tree contain a large amount of starch, and during the day the starch stored in the roots will be transported to the trunk.
It flows upward along the trunk and transforms into branches containing sugar.
Just drill a small hole near the roots.
Then you plug in a tube to get the sap from the maple tree, and you can make maple syrup!"
Then, she will have a steady stream of money.
She chattered a lot, but the people behind her didn't respond at all.
Sangzhi's smile paused, she was so happy that she became complacent.
If Jiang Yan asked again how she knew about foreign tree species and how she knew the process of making sugar, how would she explain?
Fortunately, he didn't ask any further questions, but just sighed at the wonders of nature.
Sang Zhi rolled his eyes and shook his sleeves, "When I was in the countryside, I knew an old professor who had studied abroad and lived in a cowshed.
He often went to see Granny Cai for treatment, and since he thought I was wasting my time picking herbs all day, he taught me a lot in private.
Seeing that the two were taking a long time to arrive, Qin Yuan was rushing over here.
Sangzhi was afraid of being heard, so she quickly leaned close to his ear and whispered.
"He and his companions taught me a lot, including sketching and foreign languages. He also told me that this tree can be used to make sugar."
You see, she is smart. She has filled up the holes she dug before.
The hot breath she breathed into the man's ears when she spoke made him feel itchy and numb. At that moment, Jiang Yan's heartbeat was almost out of control.
And she has a scent on her body.
It's not the pungent smell of perfume, it's very natural and comfortable, but it also makes people dizzy.
As for what she said later, I didn't hear a word.
Qin Yuan saw them whispering from a distance, but when he got closer, the two of them fell silent and kept their distance.
Isn't it obvious that they are guarding against him?
I couldn't describe how I felt, I could only urge them to hurry up with a stern face.
Sang Zhi said perfunctorily, "I'm here," and then instructed Jiang Yan, "I'm only telling you, remember to keep it a secret for me."
The way back was rare and quiet.
The car stopped at the gate of Wang's house. At this time, the children had finished their meal and were venting their energy in the snow.
Seeing the rare jeep, everyone gathered around to watch the fun.
Aunt Tian rushed out after hearing the noise outside.
When she saw Sang Bei who was unharmed, tears streamed down her face. She pulled him aside and said with a sob, "It's good that you're back."
In fact, the nephew came back earlier than them and told her that Captain Jiang had found the child, so she shouldn't worry.
But even though he knew it, it always felt unreal when he didn't see the person standing in front of him.
Sangzhi pushed Sangbei forward and nodded to him to coax others.
Sang Bei felt a little embarrassed.
Before she came to him, he lived even worse than the donkey in the production team. The only warmth he received came from Aunt Tian and her husband.
