Mr. Le Van Phuong, residing in Tan Lap commune, Dong Phu district (Binh Phuoc) said that after many long months of intense sunshine, termite mushrooms sprouted after the cool rains at the beginning of the season. This fungus is special in that, they only appear in places where termites nest, from the footprints of workers passing through. The new umbrella termite mushroom, which grows naturally in the forest, has the highest price. “During the process of crawling around the nest, worker termites leave behind a saliva-like substance. After the rain, this substance grows fragrant mushrooms. Those who went to pick mushrooms at night, before they could see the mushrooms, smelled the sweet aroma of mushrooms at the top of the forest,” Phuong shared. According to Mr. Phuong, the termite mushroom season only lasts a few months and emerges from the ground at about 2-3 am and withers in the early afternoon. Therefore, people take advantage of going into the forest at midnight to look for mushrooms. People who use flashlights, those who shine motorbikes run into the forest, to rubber lots or cashew fields to look at mushrooms all night. Those who go to shave rubber will be the first to encounter termites because the work of tapping latex is usually done at night. However, once you see the mushrooms, you have to know how to pick them to get all the mushrooms and sell them at a high price. “We had to use very strong wooden sticks, as small as fingers, to poke the mushrooms. In the early morning, the new mushroom sprouted its head on the ground, so the body was still lying on the ground. Therefore, using a stick to poke down, lift the whole mushroom body up. Especially do not use iron rods because the next season the mushrooms do not grow again, it takes time to find other places, “said Phuong. Those who go to pick mushrooms must use a sharp tree to get the body of the termite mushroom deep in the ground. In the past, people went to pick mushrooms just to stir-fry with melon or melon tops as food for their families. Seeing that the mushroom is crispy, more delicious than any other mushroom, plus many people know the great taste and value of the forest termite mushroom, so the mushroom is purchased at a high price, from 700 to 900,000 VND/kg. Therefore, many people stayed up at night to look for termites. In each termite mushroom season, Ms. Cao Thi Thuy, residing in Tan Phu ward, City. Dong Xoai (Binh Phuoc) all drive back to their hometown in Bu Dang to look for mushrooms. According to Ms. Thuy, termite mushrooms have 2 types, white body and black body. The black body is tough, crispy, sweeter than the white one, so the price is also higher. “Mushrooms are very fragrant. Going to look for mushrooms, just need to be sharp, you will smell the faint aroma of termite mushrooms somewhere. Holding the searchlight around, you will see small dim light spots of the mushroom, “said Ms. Thuy. People use motorcycle lights to pick mushrooms. According to Ms. Thuy, the price of termite mushrooms in recent years has always been sky-high. If 3 years ago it was only 450,000 VND/kg, last year it was 700,000 VND/kg. This year, at the beginning of the season, selling to people around the area is also 750,000 VND/kg. After each heavy rain, the lucky person can pick a few kilograms of mushrooms, making a few million easily. In recent years, grasping the market demand in big cities, many people in Dong Phu practice “dealing with termites”. Instead of going to the forest with a lamp to pick mushrooms every night, all day they drive hundreds of kilometers across areas considered to have many termites to buy and collect goods. Mr. Nguyen Huu Mieu in Thuan Loi commune, Dong Phu district, who has been trading in termite mushrooms for 7 years, said that this fungus is hunted by consumers everywhere. In particular, they only buy forest termite mushrooms. Termite mushrooms are hunted by traders everywhere with high prices. Only by purchasing termite mushrooms, 3 members of Mr. Mieu’s family can earn about 3 million VND/day. This year, if mushrooms are still abundant and the price of mushrooms is as high as now, the income of mushroom traders like him will definitely be higher. According to medicine, mushrooms are rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, protein and other nutrients that are very good for health, especially people with diabetes, the sick and the elderly. Eating termite mushrooms regularly can improve immunity against cancer cells, anti-aging… Delicious dishes made from termite mushrooms are very simple and rustic, such as: pancakes filled with termite mushrooms, fried termite mushrooms, termite mushroom soup, termite mushroom porridge…

On the evening of May 27 (local time), Megan Thee Stallion and the stars attended the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2021 at Microsoft Theater, Los Angeles. Arriving at the event, she stood out on the red carpet with an old, sparkly golden short off-shoulder dress. The skirt has a diagonal cut that gradually widens from the left shoulder to the right thigh, adding a penetrating fabric to help the beauties show off their “real” curves, the most eye-catching is the “forgot underwear”. Netizens gave many compliments to the rookie female singer of the world music industry. They commented, she has a very natural, healthy body, not limited by any beauty standards. However, some said that the dress did not match the “fertile” body of the star born in 1995. At this year’s awards ceremony, Megan “dominated” the list of nominations with 8 categories. However, she only won the “Best Combination” award with Beyonce in “Savage”. “I really want to thank the fans because without you I would be nothing. I also want to thank my grandmother for believing in me,” she said on stage accepting the award. Accompanying Megan to the awards ceremony was her boyfriend, rapper Pardison Fontaine (31 years old). The two confirmed their relationship in February. Fontaine gave his girlfriend an affectionate cheek kiss, while Megan posed playfully.

Experiencing 3 production crops from the 2019 – 2020 winter-spring crop up to now, it shows that the synchronous application of scientific and technological measures and mechanization in peanut production in Tinh Tho commune has contributed to improve peanut yield, bring higher economic efficiency compared to rice and cash crops in the locality. New peanut varieties combined with intensive farming for high yield in Tinh Tho commune (Son Tinh, Quang Ngai). Photo: Thu Phuong. Tinh Tho commune is located in the northwest of Son Tinh district, the soil quality in the commune is relatively good, very suitable for the production of crops such as rice, corn, cassava, sweet potatoes, legumes of all kinds. In which, peanut is a crop that occupies a fairly large area with about 136 hectares, but the yield is still not commensurate with the potential. With the support of the provincial Department of Science and Technology, for the past 2 years, Tinh Tho commune has implemented an inefficient model of peanut cultivation on rice and cropland with an area of ​​80 hectares. In which, in the winter-spring crop 2020-2021, the commune planted 40 hectares, with 339 households in Tho Trung, Tho Nam and Tho Tay villages participating. The objective of the project is to apply synchronously scientific-technological measures and mechanization in peanut production to grow groundnuts on rice land and inefficient crops. The peanut varieties included in the demonstration included LDH.01, LDH.09 and L14. These are peanut varieties selected by the Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology of the South Central Coast, belonging to the good variety, creating a premise for high yield. Peanut varieties have wide adaptability, high yield in ecological regions, large fruit, shallow waist and veins, high seed rate. The variety is tolerant to drought conditions. During the production process, farmers were trained and guided in technical processes of peanut intensive cultivation on rice and inefficient crops such as preparing peanut varieties, handling seeds before sowing, selecting groundnut planting techniques, soil preparation, fertilization techniques, care when sowing and pest control. Accordingly, after the variety is selected, farmers dry the seeds to ensure that the water content in the seeds is less than 8%, classify large and small seeds to plant each bed separately for even plants. People make the soil according to the right techniques such as the soil is airy, porous, moist enough, weed free, the bed surface is flattened. Peanuts are planted in rows 25 cm apart, trees 10 cm apart, 1 seed/hole, density 40 plants/m2. Fertilizers to be applied include organic fertilizers, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and powdered lime. The 4-step application process includes priming, the first application after sowing 10-15 days, the second application after sowing 25-30 days, the third application, when the flower ends. In the process of development, the appearance of pests and diseases is also timely prevented. Groundnut is a very suitable crop for arid sandy soils, difficult to irrigate in Quang Ngai. Photo: Thu Phuong. In the bamboo field, Tinh Tho commune (Son Tinh district), Mr. Nguyen Tam, a farmer participating in the model said that in this crop, he planted 3 peanuts of L14 variety. Thanks to the guidance and methodical application of science and technology, the L14 peanut variety is highly resistant to disease, yielding about 3 quintals / sao (higher than the previous peanut variety, only about 2.6 quintals / sao). And Mr. Nguyen Xuan Son in the same commune also happily said that this crop he was supported to plant 2 sao L14 peanuts, this variety has wide adaptability, large fruit, high seed rate. Thanks to the correct application of the technical process, with 2 peanuts of L14 after harvesting, he is expected to press 75 liters of oil, 12 liters more than 2 sao of peanuts. Currently, 40 ha of peanuts in the winter-spring crop 2020-2021 in Tinh Tho commune participating in the intensive farming model have been synthesized with an average expected yield of 36.1 to 38.7 quintals/ha. In which, LDH.01 variety reached 36.1 quintals/ha; LDH.09 variety reached 38.7 quintals/ha; L14 variety reached 36.6 quintals/ha. Meanwhile, traditional peanut varieties only reach 26.3 quintals/ha. Accordingly, the revenue of peanut variety LDH.01 is over 90 million VND/ha, selling price is 25,000 VND/kg, minus expenses, profit is over 47.4 million VND/ha, more than 28.5 million VND higher than peanut variety. /ha. Sales of peanut variety LDH.09 profit reached over 53.9 million VND/ha, 35 million VND/ha higher than peanut variety; sales of peanut variety L14, profit reached over 48.6 million VND/ha, higher than peanut variety over 29.8 million VND/ha.

When the “green sprout” has begun to take root, the tree is close to the human shoulder and the “dream” of orchards combined with tourism in southern Vietnam is gradually taking shape, the flood of October 2020 has swept away. of almost all grandparents. More than 2/3 of the trees in the garden were buried in fierce floods, uprooted. Getting up after a fierce flood, with the motto of taking short and long, they started to rebuild the remaining stumps and choose to plant bitter melon alternating crops. Talking to the reporter, Ms. Pham Thi Hue shared: “Bitter melon is an easy-to-grow plant that has a fairly resilient vitality, which is both suitable for local climatic and soil conditions, and does not require much. After being incubated, the cuttings will be potted, wait until the plants have grown, about 10cm high, they will be planted. After a period of 3-4 months, the tree will be harvested “. The model of growing bitter melon of Mrs. Pham Thi Hue’s family (Tien village, Vo Ninh commune, Quang Ninh district) brings high economic efficiency. In particular, the bitter melon garden of Mrs. Pham Thi Hue’s family is grown in the direction of clean agriculture, does not use pesticides and is completely fertilized with manure. To prevent plant diseases, Ms. Hue and her husband treated lime in the soil, implemented methods to prevent pests and diseases with biological products, such as ginger, garlic, chili …, so bitter melon was moderate. It has a delicious crunch, which ensures food safety and is very popular with consumers. Also according to Ms. Hue, bitter melon wants to grow and develop well, it is necessary to keep regular moisture. Therefore, she and her husband invested in drip irrigation systems using Israeli technology and made use of locally available materials, such as bamboo and neohouzeaua, to make trusses and a net mesh system. Thanks to the correct technical process, the bitter melon in the garden of Mrs. Pham Thi Hue’s family is evenly large and purchased by traders. During the peak period, she imported to traders 1.5 quintals / day with prices from 20,000 to 25,000 / kg. Recognizing bitter melon is very good for health, helping to purify the body, cool the liver, detoxify and prevent cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure …, besides fresh products, the family of Mrs. Pham Thi Hue boldly experimented with drying and processing products into bitter melon tea with a price much higher than that of ordinary fresh bitter melon. According to Ms. Hue, bitter melon dried in tea form can be preserved for a long time, easy to use, so many consumers love and order. Currently on the garden area of ​​1.4ha, in addition to 6.000m2 dedicated to planting bitter melon, Ms. Hue and her husband also planted purple sweet potatoes like Japanese, sweet melon, gourd, squash and some kinds of fruit trees, such as: mango Thai, Thai jackfruit in the direction of clean agriculture, promises productivity and brings high economic efficiency. Evaluating the effectiveness of the model, Mr. Pham Van Dan, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Vo Ninh commune said: “From 2018 to now, restructuring agricultural production in the direction of increasing the value associated with development, With the development of the product value chain, Vo Ninh commune has actively propagated and mobilized farmers to convert inefficient rice land, so far, the whole commune has converted more than 100 hectares of muddy land and planted. Low-yield rice to diversified economic models, such as the clean agriculture model of Mrs. Pham Thi Hue and her husband, models of conversion have brought about clear effects in terms of productivity and price. economic treatment and step by step help Vo Ninh form branded production areas, increase people’s income “. “From the exciting initial results, we intend to plant more bitter melon in the summer-autumn season so that the fruit can be harvested, providing clean products to the market all year round. In the long term, the family’s intention will still be to develop more fruit trees so that the elderly, children in the village and hamlets have a place to walk, rest and enjoy clean fruit right in the garden ”, Ms. Pham Thi Hue sincerely shared more.

Culinary style “be sure every season” When it comes to the South, people often think of the phrase “ fish in the river, vegetables on the bank “. Thanks to the endowment of nature, each season here has its own specialties. The first season fish is young, the meat is soft and sweet, almost no bones. The flower is also in bloom, golden and crunchy. Combining the sweetness from the lingzhi fish and the sour taste of the crazy cotton to create the delicious soup, the delicious crazy fish hotpot that can not be found anywhere else. The best hamster is in the harvest season. When the rice in the field is ripe and the food source is plentiful, the field mice also become fatter. This dish is grilled to golden brown, the skin is crispy and chewy and the meat is fragrant. When eating, people often sip with rice wine and listen to a few fairy tales, thus becoming a enjoyment of the West and Southeast. Cuisine shows the rustic and rustic Southern dishes also bear the imprint of their ancestors from the ancient times, the ancient times of the beginning of the world. If they catch anything, they will prepare the dish on the spot. This is a rustic and rustic feature in Southern culinary culture. There can be typical dishes such as: grilled duck, fish sauce, grilled chicken, grilled fish, grilled snake, … combined with available wild vegetables, easy to find such as lotus buds, water lilies, crazy dictionary, … Southerners are cool, natural in the way they enjoy the food. They can serve and dine on the floor. But when there are guests coming to play, they still show their solemnity to show their hospitality. Combining diverse regions Besides the rustic dishes that attract diners, Southern cuisine also makes people excited by the blending of many different cuisines. Southern cuisine is the combination of northern and central culinary culture and the influence of Khmer culture. Southern Pho is served with sweet sauce (black sauce), red chili sauce, lemon, fresh chili, cilantro, basil, bean sprouts, thin sliced ​​onions. The soup is usually not as clear as the northern pho but has a slightly cloudy color, sweeter, and fatter taste. Southern tea dishes are also very rich. In addition to receiving all kinds of tea from different regions, tea of ​​the people of the South also has more creative dishes such as sweet potato tea, banana tea, Ba Ba tea … served with coconut milk. For the southerners in general or Saigon in particular, coconut milk is just an auxiliary ingredient, but has created an appeal for many dishes. Typical sweetness in dishes Northern cuisine has a richness, Central is the pungent flavor of chili. And the sweetness is a typical spice tasting in many Southern dishes. Thanks to inheriting, promoting and continuously discovering and creating, Southern cuisine is increasingly plentiful and diversified, contributing to enriching the national culture.

Hanoi is a city surrounded by the Red River with great flow and fertile alluvial deposits. With long-standing living characteristics, two riversides are always crowded places. Many big bridges in Hanoi connect the two banks of the Red River such as Nhat Tan, Chuong Duong, Vinh Tuy, Thanh Tri, … Stretching from the residential areas of Hoan Kiem, Ba Dinh, Tay Ho districts to the middle of the river is a blank stretch of land with a green color of trees and crops. Although it has a large area, this place where people are used to calling it “middle ground” is just a place where people cultivate, increase production and make beaches. Mr. Pham Van Thi today visited the garden and harvested water spinach. He has 2 sao of land along the river. Every season, he kept a different kind of vegetable, and he planted it for his family to eat and sell at the same time. Rubbing his hands onto the wet, wet field ground, Mr. Thi shared: “The land along the river should be fertile. Vegetables and grass are up, no need to fertilize much nitrogen. Just sowing, watering, clearing the grass is a vegetable garden for harvest ”. However, the fertile land is so, but the plants here are mainly: bananas, corn, potatoes and Northern vegetables. These are cultivars with little capital and short harvest time. The reason for planting these trees is because this is the land area of ​​the city, people only plant trees in the “temporary” mind, when planning will be returned. The entrance to the beach in the middle of the Red River is covered in a green color with rows of bananas, vegetable gardens mixed with dense vegetation. If you are not familiar with the way down, it is easy to get lost by the blinded view. – Squid! Where are you running? Come back. The voice of Mr. Vu calling his dog so that it does not get lost on the way to the beach. Every afternoon, Mr. Vu and his companion ride a bicycle across the Long Bien Bridge, together to cool off along the Red River. Along the riverbank, there are 3-4 large and small beaches. Each beach also went to dozens of people. From children, young people to the elderly, calls to each other, laughs stirred up both sides of the river. No one remembers when these riverside beaches have existed, but for a long time, swimming here is a very familiar living image. Located close to the edge of the Red River, Phuc Xa (Ba Dinh) inn with old cement-tiled roofs has been around for more than 20 years. The inns are long, connected with dozens of rooms. This is known as the lodging area for people from other provinces who come to Hanoi to earn a living with low income. Most of them are workers working in Long Bien night market such as selling, loading, towing … Ms. Pham Thi Ngat is a State official, mobilized to Hanoi in 1992. She owns 30 rooms of about 500 square meters in Phuc Xa ward. In the past, this was a part of arable land along the river, to grow vegetables. Later she poured land, built a room and rented it at a cheap price. The small rooms are the accommodation of 2-3 workers, the area of ​​which just fits a bed, wardrobe, cooking shelf is about 10 m2. People in the neighborhood go to work from 22:00 the day before until 6-7 o’clock the next day. They spend most of their daytime time resting, eating and drinking in their rooms. Until more than 15 o’clock, the inn is still quiet. Only Ms. Khuong and a few people woke up, and she pulled some stained plastic chairs from the house to sit and enjoy the wind. – Wake up, get up here to sit cool, Mrs. Hai, Fresh! The voice of Miss Area was loud enough for Miss Tuoi’s room at the far end of the inn to hear. The story is the same every day, just revolves around the shopping, selling … but always juicy. While talking to each other to eat fruit and hot weather, we buy ice cream and yogurt. Heaven in Hanoi on hot days is considered “harsh” extremely for the neighbors. Sitting in the inn at dusk, Mr. Pham Van Binh dined with sweat drops on his forehead. “In the day it is hot and can’t sleep, and at night there is no strength to go to work,” he lamented. Ms. Tuoi has been working in Hanoi for 4 years now. The room less than 15 m2 is where she lives with her husband and daughter “in and out”. Her health is not good, so the main income in the family is still under the care of her husband and daughter. Occasionally, she went to Long Bien market to take some shrimp and bring them to retail to increase her spending. The temporary accommodation is built on a cultivated land, without a red book. Although she pays full land tax every year, Ms. Ngat and the whole hamlet always have the spirit of “temporary residence”. If the city has land to build, they will move. “The living quarters of the working people are not spacious, beautiful, everything is temporary, but everyone living together is always happy,” said Ms. Tuoi. She added, there are families living here for decades, since the first days the village was built. Just like that, there are kids who have grown up here with their parents. “Grandma let me go ashore”, the boy Hieu called to Mrs. Oanh. For people in Phao hamlet, “going ashore” means going to work, going out, and “going in the water” means going home. The old boat with an area of ​​about 20 m2 has been the house of Mrs. Oanh’s family for nearly 20 years. The whole family of 3 is 3 generations: Grandmother, youngest daughter and grandchild. Nguyen Tien Hieu (5 years old) was born here, can also be considered a Hanoi boy, although Hieu’s birth certificate and household registration must be very difficult to do. Ms. Nguyen Thi Oanh, a farmer from Yen Thanh (Nghe An). She was one of the people in Phao village for the longest time. She did not remember the year she came here, the woman only remembered that her youngest daughter was only 7 years old. Over the years, her boat house has been damaged, or even broken, during the great floods. However, she still repaired to stay, because life here “is still easier than in the countryside”. The Red River is in high water season, every time a boat goes back and forth, the water waves rush into her family’s boat, the boat keeps rocking all day. However, with grandchildren, “it will be familiar to live a long life,” said Mrs. Oanh. The people of Phao village, nearly 30 dozen households, live close together by the river bank. Until now, their activities have no electricity or water. So is Mrs. Oanh’s family. A few units came down to support people with solar panels, batteries. However, every day when the sun is strong, the electricity is strong, and like in winter, the whole space in the boat is dimly lit because there is not enough electricity. Although it is about 3 km from the center, but Phao hamlet wants to connect and move back and forth with the city, there is only one road from the middle of Long Bien Bridge sloping down. A hurried, bumpy, concrete road less than 1m wide with grass cluttering on both sides. Young Hieu attended a private kindergarten across the river. Every day, at 6:30, Mrs. Oanh took her bicycle to school, and picked her up again in the afternoon. A few days ago, while taking Hieu back from school, when we took the bicycle from Long Bien Bridge down the steep road, our two grandchildren fell down and had to wait for everyone around to help. The accident also made her knee aching so far. The life of the people of Phao village was like that, when the big country came, they ran ashore. They stayed at the neighbor’s house. Soon, for a few days, for a whole month. That’s why everyone wants the flood season to be short for life to be stable. When asked, if she later proceeded to plan the land on both sides of the river, where would her family live, Mrs. Oanh just looked at the far bridge, dropping her thin shoulders: Where is not known. At least there is no cost of rent here like the lodgers.
