Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 597
The child saw that Li Xiao really didn't want it, so he blushed and said "thank you", and accepted it.

At this time, Li Xiao looked at the mobile phone and introduced to the audience in the live broadcast room: "This thing is called Gastrodia elata, and it can mainly cure headaches, dizziness, etc. If you have rheumatic arthralgia, it can also be cured."

Studio:
"Does the anchor know even Chinese herbal medicine?"

Li Xiao smiled, but didn't answer. After all, skills and the like can't be said directly. Moreover, even if he said something, someone had to believe it.

So Li Xiao didn't care about these things, but continued to introduce Tianma.

"Gastrodia elata is divided into many types. The gastrodia elata we see now is the unique Gastrodia elata in XZ, also called Gastrodia elata. The quality of Gastrodia elata is very good, and the content of gastrodin in it is very high."

The two walked while talking, and Li Xiao also popularized the relevant knowledge for everyone by the way.

"From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, the position above Gastrodia elata, that is, the place connected to the stem, is called the parrot's mouth. In addition, I will give you a no-prize quiz. Guess, the medicinal part of Gastrodia elata is the What does this place we dug belong to? A stem? Or a rhizome? Or something else?"

There were many guesses in the live broadcast room, and most of them said that they were roots. After all, in the eyes of people who have not learned this knowledge, the parts buried under the ground are all roots.

But some people have learned it, so gradually, the correct answers have increased.

Li Xiao saw that the discussion was almost over, so he announced the correct answer.

"This part is called a tuber, which belongs to the rhizome."

Suddenly, a group of people in the live broadcast room swiped the screen and said "knowledge has increased".

At this time, someone asked Li Xiao what the prize was.

Li Xiao smiled "hehe", "Didn't I say it all, no prize quiz."

I choked up when I asked about the prize, but after thinking about it later, it seemed that I really said no prize quiz.

At this moment, the child suddenly called Li Xiao.

Li Xiao looked in the direction the child pointed.

I saw some small white flowers blooming on the plants not far away, which looked very beautiful.

So Li Xiao walked over to show the fans in the live broadcast room a closer look.

"Have you seen it? This is called wild lily, and it also has medicinal value. You can guess where its medicinal part is."

Some people have bought lilies, but the ones they bought are usually ready-made, and they look a little different from the flowers that are blooming, so some people guess whether they are also at the bottom.

Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Yes, you are right, the aboveground part we see now is the lily, and the part we really use as medicine is the rhizome below."

As Li Xiao said, he dug one out, cleaned up the dirt on it, and showed it to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"His rhizome is very special. It's called a bulb, like the onions we usually eat, and it also belongs to the bulb."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he handed the lily plant to the child, and the child took it without saying a word.

Just as Li Xiao was about to leave, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong ahead, so he walked over.

He squatted on the ground and observed for a while, and then pulled out two plants. Looking at the pulled out, white things that looked like small garlic, he called the child.

The child who was called over was a little confused, so he thought Li Xiao needed help, so he walked over.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

I didn't expect to be called brother by such a child. I thought I would be called uncle. Li Xiao touched the child's head, then pointed to something on the ground and asked him, "Do you know this thing?"

The child frowned for a while, then slowly shook his head, "I don't know."

Li Xiao explained to him: "This thing is called Fritillaria, and the most common ones are Chuan Fritillaria and Zhejiang Fritillaria. Hello mother."

Li Xiao picked up a Fritillaria plant, "This kind of Tibetan Fritillaria is very similar to Chuan Fritillaria, but the medicinal effect is better than Chuan Fritillaria, so the value is also higher."

Hearing what Li Xiao said, the child couldn't help but blush, "I don't know this one yet, he, he's so stupid."

Indeed, the aboveground part of Tibetan Fritillaria is the kind of ordinary-looking leaves, but the shape is a bit close to the spindle shape. Li Xiao also thinks it looks like it, but he can't confirm it, so he pulls out a few plants to confirm.

"Let's see, Fritillaria has two halves of scales, one big and one small. The big one surrounds the small one. This shape has a scientific name called 'Embracing the Moon in the Arm'."

While talking, the two started to collect these Fritillaria.

I don't know if the soil here is fertile or no one has picked it all the time. Anyway, there is a large piece of Fritillaria, and the two of them squatted on the ground and worked for a long time.

When it was finished, Li Xiao was also a little tired, and the child was even more tired, watching his face covered with sweat.

After all, squatting to work and moving back and forth is much more tiring than simply walking.

Seeing that the child was tired, Li Xiao found a rock and pulled him to sit down.

"What's your name?"

The child pursed his lips and said a string of Tibetan words. Li Xiao made it a little more concise and only took the last two words.

"Call you Tashi, okay?"

The little boy Tashi nodded.

Then, Li Xiao asked him how old he was, and he said he was nine years old.

Then the two started chatting one after another, and while chatting, Tashi was not as reserved as before, and talked a little more, as if he had let go of his guard.

"Brother Li, why do you know so many medicinal materials?"

Li Xiao thought for a while, "Because of reading, it's all knowledge from books."

Tashi nodded, then sighed, "I want to grow up quickly and get out of here."

Li Xiao is a little confused, so, don't ordinary children love home the most?

"Can you tell me why you want to leave here? Is it not good here?"

Tashi shook his head, "It's very good here, but I want to go out and see the outside more. My teacher often said how good it is outside, and I want to see it with my own eyes."

Speaking of this, Tashi paused for a while, and then continued: "Besides, I want to go out to make money, so that my father will not be so tired. He comes to the mountain early every day to collect herbs, and he goes back very late at night. He injured his leg two days ago, so he didn't go up the mountain."

Li Xiao thought about it, no wonder when he first met Tashi's father, he seemed to be walking a little unsteadily, he thought it was an old problem, but it turned out to be a recent injury.

"Besides, you have to pay my tuition."

When the tuition fee was mentioned, Tashi's mood fell instantly.

Li Xiao sighed, he had already decided to help Tashi's family, but he didn't say it directly.

The two sat on the rocks, drank some water, ate something, and waited for the sun to be less venomous before continuing to move forward.

Their luck was also really good, they found a snow ginseng within a few steps.

Snow ginseng is also a kind of ginseng, and it also has high medicinal value. Now it seems that this kind of wild snow ginseng is very rare.

Most of them have been dug up long ago, and those sold on the market are generally farmed.

Seeing this snow ginseng, Li Xiao was overjoyed, and quickly put it away.

It's just a pity that the above-ground part of this snow ginseng plant was destroyed by something. If you want to use it for medicine, you can only remove the above-ground part.

In this way, the price of this snow ginseng will be greatly reduced, and maybe no one will buy it at all.

Because this kind of medicinal material has to go through simple processing steps, such as drying in the sun to let his water evaporate, so as to effectively prevent moisture, mold and insects.

However, if there is only half of the snow ginseng and it is dried in the sun, the medicinal effect may be faster than the water loss.

But it's also good to take this thing home and eat it at home.

Seeing that Li Xiao had dug something, Tashi walked over curiously.

"Brother Li, what is this?"

Li Xiao showed him the snow ginseng, while explaining it to Tashi, and at the same time telling the audience in the live broadcast room, explaining the characteristics of the snow ginseng clearly.

Tashi let out an "oh", nodded in understanding, then turned around and left.

Although he noticed how precious this thing was from Li Xiao's words just now, Tashi didn't think about asking Li Xiao for it.

Seeing him like this, Li Xiao couldn't help but want to tease him.

"Tashi, if you want this, my brother will give it to you, okay? This is still worth some money."

Unexpectedly, Tashi shook his head with a serious face, "I can't have it, it's because it's very valuable, so I can't take it."

Li Xiao couldn't help being curious, "Then why do you want those valuable things?"

Hearing what Li Xiao said, Tashi blushed a little, "That's because it's not very valuable. My dad made it at home. I thought you wouldn't know how to make it, Brother Li, so I wanted you to take the one you made. .”

Li Xiao was taken aback for a moment, feeling really indescribably moved.

Despite the harsh conditions, this child is still so sensible and kind.

Life did not make him dejected and complaining, which is a rare quality.

Li Xiao patted Tashi's head, "It's okay, brother doesn't want it, even if brother takes it, he won't need it, and you discovered it in the first place, so brother is doing you a favor at best."

Tashi nodded half-understood, "Well, after I go back, I'll ask my grandma to make something delicious for you. The milk cakes made by grandma are delicious."

Li Xiao nodded with a smile.

The two just walked forward while talking and laughing.

While walking, Li Xiao suddenly found that Tashi had stopped in place.

Li Xiao was a little puzzled, then looked at Tashi.

I saw Tashi's pale face, tightly pursing his lips.

"Tashi? What's wrong?"

Tashi pointed to a tree beside him with trembling fingers, and Li Xiao followed him to look at it.

I saw a green snake nearly two fingers thick lying on the tree trunk.

The snake's head was aimed at the two of them, as if it was about to attack at any time.

When Li Xiao saw the snake, goosebumps rose all of a sudden, his hairs stood on end, and he also jumped.

Subconsciously, he took Tashi's little hand and took Tashi back a step.

It turned out that it was their retreat. The snake thought they were going to attack, and made a threatening sound of "hissing" in an instant, and Li Xiao didn't dare to act rashly again.

The two of them stared at each other like this.

Li Xiao looked at the snake's oval head, and felt somewhat relieved.

This kind of snake with a round head is generally not poisonous.

So Li Xiao patted Tashi's little hand, and whispered to Tashi, "It's okay, don't be afraid, my brother is here."

Tashi's face was tense, he was obviously trembling with fear, and he said to Li Xiao, "It's okay, brother, I'm not afraid."

Li Xiao touched Tashi's face with some distress, and told him: "After a while, my brother said to run, so let's run immediately, do you hear me?"

Tashi nodded sensiblely.

Li Xiao smiled, "It's okay, brother is behind you."

Originally, Li Xia wanted to comfort Tashi, but unexpectedly Tashi became more anxious after hearing this, "No, brother, what if you are bitten."

"It's okay, this snake is not poisonous."

Li Xiao thought that he had said so, and the child should be relieved. Even if a snake is not poisonous, it will only hurt a little. As long as it is disinfected and sterilized, there will be no problem.

However, Zhaxi disagreed desperately, for fear that Li Xiao would be injured because of him.

Li Xiao really had no choice, so he hugged Tashi directly.

Seeing the movement of the person in front, the green snake tensed up instantly.

Li Xiao didn't intend to kill the snake, he just thought that everyone would take a step back and everything would be fine, wouldn't it be fine?

Maybe the snake thought so too.

I saw Li Xiao holding Tashi and slowly backing away, the snake didn't chase after him, but just stared at Li Xiao tightly on the tree, watching Li Xiao withdraw from his territory, and then walked up the tree go down.

Li Xiao didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and kept staring at the snake, only to see the snake flash past in the grass and then disappear.

Only then did Li Xiao know why the snake didn't chase after it.

Because through the grass just now, Li Xiao saw a nest of snake eggs vaguely on the ground.

I'm afraid it's because the snake didn't dare to leave its child, for fear that the child would be eaten by natural enemies.

Li Xiao put Tashi on the ground, and could only lament his good luck.

Tashi, who was put on the ground, held Li Xiao's clothes tightly, obviously not yet recovered.

Li Xiao hugged Tashi, "It's okay, it's okay, the snake has gone."

After a while, Tashi finally recovered, and looked at Li Xiao worriedly.

"Brother Li, are you okay?"

Li Xiao shook his head, smiled and stroked Tashi's hair, "Don't worry, I'm fine, if you don't believe me, take a look."

As Li Xiao said, he turned around Tashi on the spot, indicating that he was really fine.

Tashi was also really worried, when Li Xiao turned around, he really looked around nervously, and when he confirmed that Li Xiao was indeed not injured, he was also dizzy from seeing it.

Seeing him like this, Li Xiao really thought this kid was cute from the bottom of his heart.
