Chapter 411 Honeysuckle

The big and small girls in the family and the little dolls in the village came back, and they all counted the things in their baskets in the yard.

Wukong jumped into the house and went straight to the kitchen, scooped up a ladle of cold water and poured it down, and then let out a long sigh of relief, it seemed that he was thirsty outside.

After Wukong, a group of children were going to drink cold water, but they were stopped by Zhang Taiping. Instead, he took out a big watermelon from the refrigerator, killed it and distributed it to the children.

It was when they were all eating watermelon that Zhang Taiping asked Yaya: "What are you doing?"

Yaya swallowed the watermelon with a mouth full and said, "Let's go to the mountain to pick honeysuckle flowers." As she spoke, she handed the small basket behind her to Zhang Taiping to see.

Zhang Taiping first wiped off the watermelon seeds on her face with his thumb, and then looked at the small basket she handed over. In it was half a basket of two or three centimeters long toothpick-thick and mallet-shaped things, which were honeysuckle flowers.

"It's honeysuckle," Zhang Taiping recalled a little story about honeysuckle, and said to the children in the room, "here is a story related to honeysuckle, do you want to listen to it?"

"Yes!" "Yes!" The two little girls Tiantian and Yaya raised their hands first, and Fan Ming who was beside him was also attracted.The little dolls who were eating the sweet and cold watermelon also slowed down and looked at him.

Zhang Taiping smiled and began to talk: According to legend, during Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Huo, most of the soldiers were dissatisfied with the environment and fell into the haze.After passing through a small village, Zhuge Liang felt compassionate when he saw that the villagers were yellow and hungry, and distributed military rations to rescue them.The villagers were very grateful. When a native white-haired old man learned that many Shu soldiers were suffering from "pyretic fever", he called his twin granddaughters: "Golden flowers, silver flowers, go and pick some baskets of fairy medicines." Solve the difficulties for the Shu army." However, after three days, the sisters still hadn't returned.People searched for it, but on a cliff, they saw two medicine baskets full of herbs, and beside the baskets were the footprints of wild wolves and torn clothes and shoes.

The generals and soldiers of the Shu army were saved after eating the herbal medicine, but the honeysuckle and silver flower gave their lives for it. To commemorate them, people called the flower of this herbal medicine "honeysuckle".

"Ah! They are so pitiful." Yaya's little face was full of sadness when she heard this, and the mist seemed to overflow from her eyes.

This was something that Zhang Taiping did not expect, and quickly comforted him: "This is just a story, it cannot be taken as true."

Compared with Yaya, the boys paid more attention to the war that Zhang Taiping just mentioned. Just after he finished speaking, a male doll asked: "Uncle handsome, what is the story of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Huo?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "This is something in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". You can go back and ask your parents to buy such books for you or watch TV." I don't always read the saying of Water Margin.

Just like what Zhang Taiping told Yaya, it is just a story that cannot be taken as true, and the origin of the name honeysuckle has long been unverifiable.

According to relevant documents, honeysuckle has been planted in my country for more than 2200 years.As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, the Chinese pharmacy monograph "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" contained honeysuckle, saying that it "does not wither in the winter"; Duan Keshi, a poet of the Jin Dynasty, said: "There are vines, egrets and vines, which are not born by humans. There are silver stamens among the flowers, and green clusters form by themselves."

So honeysuckle is also called honeysuckle.Honeysuckle is a semi-evergreen shrub with semi-sprawling stems, oval leaves, and trumpet-shaped flowers.It is white when it first blooms, and then gradually turns yellow. Some people say that this is the origin of the name "Honeysuckle".

The stems, leaves and flowers of honeysuckle can be used as medicine, which has the functions of detoxification, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, bactericidal, diuretic and antipruritic.For carbuncle swollen furuncle, intestinal carbuncle and lung carbuncle, it has a strong effect of dissipating carbuncle and reducing swelling, clearing away heat and detoxifying.Simply brewing honeysuckle tends to be cold in nature, which has the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying and evacuating wind-heat.It can treat diseases such as summer heat syndrome, diarrhea, influenza, boils, swollen toxins, acute and chronic tonsillitis, and periodontitis.

Of course, not everyone is suitable for taking honeysuckle all the time.

It has cold medicinal properties and is not suitable for long-term drinking. It is only suitable for temporary drinking in hot summer to prevent and treat dysentery.What needs to be reminded is that people with weak constitution and menstrual period should not drink it, otherwise, adverse reactions may occur.It is better to drink only when you feel angry, but drinking too much will be counterproductive.

In addition to its medicinal value, honeysuckle can also be used to make tea. Honeysuckle tea is a new type of health-care tea.Drinking this tea often has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxification, dredging meridians and activating collaterals, and skin care and beauty.

There are two kinds of honeysuckle tea in the market courtyard, one is fresh honeysuckle mixed with a small amount of green tea, and the honeysuckle tea is scented according to the honeysuckle tea scenting process; the other is dried or sun-dried honeysuckle and green tea spelled out.Of these two types of honeysuckle tea, the former has a strong floral fragrance and is mainly used for appreciating the fragrance of flowers; the latter has a low tea fragrance, but it can maintain the medicinal effect of honeysuckle without losing its health care effect.Honeysuckle tea is a health drink suitable for all ages, especially in summer.

There are also many specialties in brewing and tasting honeysuckle tea.

For high-grade honeysuckle tea, it is not only drinking, but also the process of viewing.Brew with the first boiled water slightly cooled to about 90°C, and then cover the cup to prevent the aroma from being lost; hold the tea tray in your hand and face the light, and observe the tea floating up and down, ups and downs in the water through the glass wall, and the tea slowly unfolding, The changing process of restoring the shape of the leaf and exuding the color of the tea juice, "a cup of small world, mountains and rivers, flowers and trees", can be called an artistic enjoyment, and it is called a "mesh product".

When the tea soup is slightly cool and palatable, take a small sip, stay in the mouth for a while, inhale through the mouth and exhale through the nose, so that the tea soup will flow back and forth on the tongue surface once or twice, fully contact with the taste buds, and taste the tea flavor and soup Swallow it after the middle aroma, if it takes one or two times, you can taste the real fragrance of the precious honeysuckle tea.This taste is intoxicating, just as Fan Zhongyan of the Song Dynasty said in the tea song, "The taste of tea is light today", and "The fragrance of tea is Bolanzang".Comprehensively appreciate the unique tea taste and fragrance of honeysuckle tea, which is called "mouth product".

There is a folk saying that "one sip is for drinking, three sips are for taste", and the taste can only be tasted by sipping carefully.After boiling the tea, add boiling water when one-third of the soup is left, and then boil it for the second time.If you drink it three times, the taste of the tea is already weak, so don't continue to drink.After sniffing and tasting the three tea soups, and comprehensively appreciating the palatability of the tea and the freshness, concentration, and purity of the aroma, the one with the three aromas is "full fragrance", and the one with the best tea shape, taste, and aroma is the tea. Honeysuckle tea is high-grade, famous and rare.

Generally, mid-grade honeysuckle tea is brewed, and the appearance of the tea embryo is not emphasized. You can use a white porcelain cover cup, brew 100 ℃ boiling water and cover the cup cover. After 5 minutes, you can smell the aroma and taste the tea.This kind of honeysuckle tea has a fragrant aroma and a mellow tea taste. It has a tea flavor when it is opened three times, and it is resistant to brewing.

Brew and drink medium and low-grade honeysuckle tea, or honeysuckle tea powder, which is called "high end" in the north. Generally, white porcelain teapots are used. Because there is more water in the pot, the heat preservation is better than the cup, which is conducive to fully brewing the tea flavor.Depending on the size of the teapot, the number of people drinking tea, and the intensity of the taste, take an appropriate amount of tea into the pot, pour it into the pot with 100°C initial boiling water, cover the pot, wait for 5 minutes, and then pour it into a teacup for drinking.This method of brewing and drinking together is convenient and hygienic on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is a family reunion, or three or five relatives and friends meet, sit around and taste tea, and talk about family affairs with each other, which is more harmonious and adds to the atmosphere of unity, friendship and harmony.

Zhang Taiping had previously mail-ordered some honeysuckle tea on Taobao, so he knew this very well.

Turning to Fan Ming, he asked, "When did you pick these honeysuckle flowers?"

Whenever summer and autumn come, the mountains and hills of the northern and southern provinces of our country have this kind of vine climbing plant, which blooms yellow and white flowers. When it blooms, it is pure white at first, and then turns yellow, which is very beautiful.It seems not very valuable to be seen everywhere, but the collection of this flower is quite particular. It must be picked when the dew is just dry in the morning on a sunny day, and it should be dried in the sun or in the shade in time, so that the medicinal effect will be good.So Zhang Taiping asked this question.

Fan Ming thought for a while and replied: "We picked them before the sun came out. At that time, there was still dew on them, which wet the sleeves, but now they are all dry."

Hearing what she said, Zhang Taiping changed the idea of ​​saving these honeysuckle flowers to make honeysuckle tea, and asked the little dolls who were eating watermelon: "Are you going to sell these honeysuckle flowers?"

The dolls in the mountains will collect some herbs of one kind or another in the mountains during summer vacation and sell them to the pharmacies in the town for some pocket money. Honeysuckle is one of them, but they don't know how much it is worth. And most of the parents don't understand, so they are often cheated by the pharmacies in the town and only get a small part of the money.Even so, they still enjoyed it happily.

"Well, sell! Uncle, do you want it?" A slightly older boy asked, and the other dolls also nodded and looked at him.Selling them to him is naturally the best, just like the apricot cores and cicada shells a few times ago, they don't need to go to the town again.

Generally, artificially planted honeysuckle costs about 90 yuan per kilogram, and the best ones can cost hundreds.These honeysuckle flowers for the children are top-grade ones picked in the wild before the sun rises and soaked in morning dew. He plans to calculate the price at 100 yuan.

"I'll give you the price of 50 yuan per catty."

Basically, every child carried a small basket or cloth bag, some of which were two or three heavy, so in the end each child got a sum ranging from ten yuan to twenty yuan.

"So much money?" It's unbelievable for a large group of children to hold the money in their hands. When they sold it to the pharmacy in the town, it was only 30 to [-] yuan in total, and it was only [-] or [-] yuan per person when they were evenly divided.

Someone with a bright mind immediately asked, "Uncle handsome, will you still accept honeysuckle in the future?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "I will accept as much as you pick, but it must be honeysuckle with dew on it before the sun comes out, otherwise the money will be less."

A group of children beamed with joy, nodding their heads like chickens pecking at rice.The big and small girls in the family and the little dolls in the village came back, and they all counted the things in their baskets in the yard.

Wukong jumped into the house and went straight to the kitchen, scooped up a ladle of cold water and poured it down, and then let out a long sigh of relief, it seemed that he was thirsty outside.
