Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1655 You are also like Bimo

As the topic unfolded, Lao Chi Ri and Tu Liang Zhi's faces became more and more serious. Although the father and son had been at odds with each other for many years, they were absolutely united in their hearts when it came to preserving the heritage of national culture.

At most, the two of them had some differences on the concept of "national culture".

"You have a big heart, kid." Old Chi Ri picked up the wine bowl and said, "Since you have an idea, then give it a try. Your grandparents are watching you from heaven."

"He was watching us." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Grandpa, this wouldn't be possible without you. There's a good saying by Erbilgi: We should learn from bees that gather flowers together, and not from spiders that weave their own webs."

“Hahaha…” Old Chiri was so happy to hear this that he couldn’t even hold his glass. He then muttered a rhyming sentence in Yi language: “That’s not what Erbilji said, at least not in Chinese.”

Erbiji, also known as Erbi, is a popular proverb of the Yi people and a very popular literary form. There are two Erbi to illustrate this point: "Erbi is the salt in the words", "There are clear springs in the mountains, and there are Erbi in the Yi people".

Zhou Zhi was originally very interested in these, but he did not speak Yi language and had only read the translated versions. He knew that they lacked flavor, so he could only talk about a few that left a deep impression on him.

But this is enough. This kind of "showing off one's skills in front of an expert" is like a foreigner who can suddenly come up with an idiom in front of a Chinese person these days, which is enough to surprise people.

When Lao Chi Ri was happy, his drinking capacity would double. Originally, Zhou Zhi and Wu Renzhong were considered "outsiders", and it was the Jike family's job to persuade and toast them, but the two of them could not withstand Lao Chi Ri's drinking capacity. Later, even Tu Liangzhi changed sides as he drank and joined the drinking contest with Lao Chi Ri.

Zhou Zhi had been feeling a little tired recently, and he had also run a lot in the past two days, so he was not in good condition and soon found himself in a semi-dizzy state.

When Zhou Zhi was helped by Wu Renzhong and Gillette to lie down on the bed, he vaguely felt a sense of relaxation, and then he realized that he seemed to have been busy with this and that since he traveled through time, and had never stopped.

Just be busy, Zhou Zhi comforted himself before falling asleep, the Han people also have their own Erbilgi, and every snake bites people.

Since all snakes bite people, choose one that you are willing to let bite you. At least you can feel a little pleasure from being bitten.

This kind of pleasure may be another source of my current sense of relaxation.

Tomorrow I will be busy again. This was his last thought before falling asleep.

Because it was a rare deep sleep, Zhou Zhi was awakened early in the morning by the fresh air and the singing of birds.

Since he couldn't sleep anyway, Zhou Zhi simply got up, took out the sword from his car, and went to the yard to practice Tai Chi sword.

Strangely enough, Zhou Zhi also practiced Tai Chi and Tai Chi sword in Shudu, but he was rarely able to enter a state of concentration.

Mainly around Shu University, there will be a lot of distractions even if you get up early.

It was different here. After Zhou Zhi finished practicing a set of sword skills, he found that Jike Chiri was looking at him seriously.

"Good morning, Grandpa." Zhou Zhi put the sword back into the sheath.

"You use a real weapon." Chi Ri smiled and said, "Why do I feel like you are also a Bimo? You know a lot of things."

"Because I loved playing when I was young, I know a little bit about everything when I grow up." Zhou Zhi explained: "But many of the skills I learned in my hometown may not be useful here, such as... weaving bamboo."

"That's right." Chi Ri nodded: "We can also grow rice." "In fact, we don't have to rely on rice." Zhou Zhi said: "We can grow medicinal herbs, fruit trees, apples, walnuts, pomegranates, navel oranges, all of which can be taken outside the mountains to exchange for money. We also have black goats and small fragrant pigs, which are all good products."

"As I said before, you are a carefree person." Chi Ri said, "Come on, I'll take you around."

"Wait till I bring a basket."

"Why bring a basket?"

"Picking ferns." Zhou Zhi said, "I saw a lot on the way here yesterday."

"Bracken...never mind, whatever you want."

Like mushrooms, ferns are a gift from Daliang Mountain to the Yi people. Every spring, countless fern sprouts emerge from the pine forest on the hillside.

Not only are they everywhere in the mountains and fields, but they are all edible. Unlike Jiachuan, which is also covered with ferns, the edible ones are hidden among dozens of species, making them hard to find.

When he first came to Liangshan, Zhou Zhi was stunned to see so many ferns.

But like all mountain products, they will definitely not taste good if they are cooked without oil, so the Yi people are not interested in these ferns, matsutake mushrooms, and porcini mushrooms.

In their minds, the best mushroom is the chicken mushroom, because after the chicken mushroom is fried in large oil, the oil will become "fragrant oil" and can be eaten slowly, but even if not too much oil is added, it is still delicious when cooked in soup or roasted.

So the biggest problem with bracken is not that it tastes bad. The bigger problem is that it contains a compound - prototaxol, which is listed as a Class 2B carcinogen.

However, Zhou Zhi believes that the topic of whether bracken is poisonous is actually more of a "pseudo-scientific proposition."

First of all, in the classification of carcinogens published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), carcinogenicity is divided into five categories: Category 1 is confirmed carcinogenic, Category 2A is probably carcinogenic, Category 2B is possibly carcinogenic, Category 3 is not yet certain whether it is carcinogenic, and Category 4 is basically non-carcinogenic.

The Class 2B carcinogen to which prototaxol belongs is a substance that may cause cancer only in humans. However, the evidence of the carcinogenicity of this type of carcinogen in humans is limited, and the evidence of its carcinogenicity in experimental animals is insufficient; or the evidence of its carcinogenicity in humans is insufficient, but the evidence of its carcinogenicity in experimental animals is sufficient, so it is classified as 2B.

Other substances that belong to the same category 2B as prototaxol include mobile phone radiation, aloe vera whole leaf extract, traditional pickled vegetables, asphalt on asphalt roads, gasoline engine exhaust, and occupational exposure of hairdressers or barbers.

There is even 60-degree hot water and the famous sweetener Aspartame.

There are many things that I haven't heard of anyone being afraid of.

Another thing is that it is simply a hooligan to talk about the efficacy of drugs without considering the dosage. Take the carcinogenicity of aspartame for example. You have to drink twelve bottles of sugar-free cola a day for a year to exceed the standard, and aspartame can only exert its carcinogenicity in the human body.

However, most people in the world are like this. They are terrified when talking about these Class 2B carcinogens with strange names, but they still flock to cigarettes, alcohol, bacon, sausages, barbecue and other items that contain the most powerful carcinogens. This is unreasonable.

Finally, there is the processing method. Cattle and sheep will show obvious symptoms of poisoning when eating ferns, but for thousands of years, there have been few reports of poisoning incidents when humans have eaten ferns. The reason is that people have to boil ferns in boiling water, dry them, soak them in water, cook them, and other processes before eating them. The protofernin will be lost in large quantities during the processing.

Therefore, as long as you control the method, quantity and frequency of consumption, the health problems caused by eating bracken are actually not serious.
