Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 383 Ice Princess
He Mi and Hou Yuhua became interested when they heard what Han Li said. After all, everyone can only rest for a few more days at most. to Han Li’s question.

"By the way, what day is it today? If it's not the day, you can't collect that kind of thing."

"Today is the tenth day of March in the Jiayin year of the lunar calendar, the Dingmao month, and the Guiyou day. In the Gregorian calendar, it is April [-]nd."

"Sister He, how do you remember it so clearly? I am living in confusion every day now."

When He Mi heard Hou Yuhua ask this, he was silent for a while and said in a low tone.

"Because the day after tomorrow is March [-]th of the lunar calendar, and April [-]th of the Gregorian calendar is Qingming Festival. I will burn paper for grandma on that day."

When Hou Yuhua realized that he had asked the wrong question, he quickly apologized, and Han Li also took the opportunity to bring up another topic to divert He Mi's attention.

"If we calculate based on this date, I'm afraid I won't be able to take you with me when I go to the mountain to collect things this time. Otherwise, spring sowing will begin in the village in a few days, which will coincide with the time of my collection.

However, after the spring sowing is completed, the seedlings will not grow immediately. There will be a few days of rest in between. At that time, the trees on the mountain will sprout green buds, and all the wild vegetables and wild flowers will appear. The scenery here will be very, very beautiful. We can go outing, enjoy the scenery, have picnics, catch snow clams, and fish. In short, we have a good time for two days. "

Han Li's topic diverted their attention. Hou Yuhua was very happy at first, but then she thought about the coming days, and the bitterness on her face was very obvious, because she had to work in the fields for a long time before the spring outing. Thinking about the two days of farm work that everyone said was hardly heavy, she suddenly felt very powerless.
.
During this time, the biting cold wind in the sky became gentle, no longer biting but with a touch of gentleness.

However, the temperature is still not high. It belongs to the kind of situation where people are frozen but not water is frozen. All the snow is slowly melting.

The ice in the river has become very thin, and the children in the village have lost their skating paradise.

But they changed to smashing the ice with rocks to listen to the sound, but this kind of game is boring after all.

They would break some willow branches and twist off the bark to make a "croak" and blow it all over the streets.

Not long after, this small river, where many children came to play every day, was relegated to the sidelines and became very quiet.

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet, at this time, you can often see the shadows of some migratory birds returning in the sky.

You can hear some birdsong every day, and it looks like the spring is returning to the earth and everything is recovering.

After clearing out a series of debris such as corn silk and sorghum roots in the ground two days ago, Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang would carry an iron rod to the ground to check the thawing situation every day.

The black soil here is very fertile. Fertilizing, plowing, and sowing can be carried out after the soil has thawed for about five to ten centimeters.

However, the livestock in the village contributed the most to this process, so they have been eating extra meals in the past few days.

During this period of time, Zhang Yaozu gained something almost every day, and brought Zhang Xiangjun along to join the ranks of tricksters.

Han Li was summoned to the county town. This time he went mainly for a meeting, and the health workers were asked to do a good job in spring epidemic prevention.

Earnestly implement the "two managements and five reforms", especially those villages that have started raising pigs individually.

(The two pipes are water pipes and manure pipes, and the five reforms refer to improving water sources, kitchens, toilets, livestock pens, and the environment.)
In particular, to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases and parasitic diseases, early detection and reporting must be achieved, and the situation must not be allowed to spread.

Finally, some medicines and utensils were added to each health worker, and a lot of bleaching powder and lime powder were also received.

Bleaching powder should be put into drinking water, and lime powder should be used in toilets and livestock pens.

After Han Li returned from the county seat, bleaching powder was directly poured into the two wells in the village.

As for the slip of lime powder, it will be handed over to the village committee. At that time, the village will send a car to pull it back. Apart from using it in the pigsty in the village, the rest will be distributed to the villagers who raise pigs.

Han Li counted the time, and after explaining to his wives, he took two lynxes into the mountain, and if someone looked for them, he said that this was the best time to dig some rhizome herbs.

In fact, Han Li went to the mountains to collect medicinal materials on the one hand, because the quality of these medicinal materials is very high, whether it is for personal use or storage, it is a good choice
But Han Li's main purpose this time was to collect birch sap, which is a colorless or slightly yellowish liquid released from birch trees.

Birch sap can only be collected once a year, in spring when the birch trees are turning green and filling their pulp.

And its collection time is very short, only about half a month, which is only possible during the period from mid-April to early May in the Gregorian calendar.

Birch sap is recognized as nutrient-rich physiologically active water in the world. It is rich in dozens of trace elements, amino acids, and vitamins needed by the human body. It is known as the "magic sap".

Birch sap is known as the title of "Queen of the Forest" and "Liquid Bread" in China, and it has been included in the medical treasures.

It is known as "forest drink" in Northern Europe and "water of life" in lighthouse countries.

He is known as the "Blood Scavenger" in the Maple Leaf Country, and as the "Protector of Human Health" in his small life.

In the Victorian period, the Queen of Great Britain took a lot of birch sap to prevent her hair from thinning, which later became one of the designated drinks for the royal family.

In the polar bear empire, it is known as "polar bear holy water", "natural beer" and "tree blood".

In addition, the birch tree is also a symbol of the polar bear empire, and has been respected by old men since ancient times.

Because in ancient times, people on the polar bear side commonly used birch wood for heating, used branches to feed cattle, used tree trunks and bark to make household items, plates, decorations, children's toys, storage boxes and amulets, and used birch branches to make bath brooms, etc. wait.

Written records of polar bears originate from birch shards and birch bark, and birch branches were also used as mystical religious objects.They believe that the energy of the tree is closer to that of women, so young girls will dance in circles around the birch tree, begging for its help and blessing.

Moreover, the ancestors of polar bears believed that birch sap was the source of life. They used special containers made of birch trees to collect the sap. They believed that the beneficial effects of birch sap would be preserved longer in such containers. At that time, polar bear witch doctors Birch sap is also widely used to treat illnesses.

Until the 20s, a polar bear official visited the lighthouse country and found that they were drinking orange juice.

There is no such thing in their country, so they began to vigorously promote birch juice drinks, which became popular in many countries.

Later, through more scientific testing, birch sap is rich in trace elements such as sodium, potassium, amino acids, iron, manganese, and natural vitamins B1 and B12 that are beneficial to the human body.

Birch sap can increase the body's resistance to infectious diseases and has an anti-inflammatory effect on gastrointestinal mucus.

Birch sap can help treat upper and lower respiratory tract diseases, eliminate phlegm and enhance physical fitness.

Drinking birch juice regularly can purify the blood, maintain the liver, and remove harmful substances accumulated in the blood due to infectious diseases, such as fat, alcohol, virus residues, etc.

Especially when you feel sleepy, depressed and distracted in spring, a glass of birch sap every day has a very good effect.

But not everyone can drink birch sap. Some people with allergies and kidney stones need to be careful.
.
How could Han Li miss such a good thing, he wanted to stock up some birch sap while he was still here.

But when Han Li reached the mountainside, he suddenly felt that even without the birch sap, his trip was worth it.

During this time, the color of the willow trees slowly changed from dark red to crimson, reflecting off the white snow like sunset.

In early spring, in March, red makeup grows for ten miles.

Moreover, shaggy dogs had already grown on many willow branches, which reminded Han Li of a poem he had read somewhere.

At first glance, they look like red bean branches, and the branches are covered with lovesickness.

Sijun is like a beautiful woman's eyes, with hairy eyes.

At this time, some green coptis and red azaleas have appeared intermittently in the ice and snow.

In the ice and snow, the clusters of green like shepherd's purse are coptis grass, and the bright red and tender pink are rhododendrons.

Although their number is still very small, they have already brought the breath of spring to this lonely land.

Rhododendron is also known as mountain red and azalea, but locals prefer to call it primrose.

Rhododendron is also known as the Snow Princess. It germinates in the winter snow and blooms in the cold spring. After all other plants turn green, the Snow Princess will quietly disappear and put on a green dress to blend into the green. in the ocean.

After being refined, Coptis chinensis can clear away heat and dampness, relieve fire and detoxify. After Han Li found out, he would pick up some good ones and put them away, almost letting them continue to decorate the mountains and fields. He would pick them again when the time was right. Anyway, there was no one for this thing. They will eat them as wild vegetables.

Han Li hurried on the hillside, the sparrow was still exploring the way ahead, and the two lynx were always circling around him.

At this time, many beasts have already woken up from hibernation, and it is absolutely impossible to be careless.

Especially the blind bear, whose purpose of waking up at this time was similar to Han Li's.

When Blind Bear wakes up from hibernation, he usually takes a swig of ready-made food such as birch sap to replenish the physical deprivation caused by hibernation.

Han Li's method of collecting birch sap was not suitable for others to see, so he had no choice but to rush deep into the mountains, which increased the chance of encountering the blind bear.

In his previous life, Han Li had seen videos showing that collecting birch sap required an electric drill, a length of infusion tube or rubber tube, and a clean bottle.

Use an electric drill to drill a hole in the tree and insert the pipe into it. The other end of the pipe is connected to the bottle.

The electric drill can be replaced by other tools, but Han Li only has a few infusion tubes and bottles, which are not enough for him to collect a large amount of birch sap.

So Han Li planned to use a birch sap collector that disassembled to produce a wooden tube and a barrel. Although this thing is not too complicated, it cannot be seen by others that there are so many of them.

When Han Li shuttled through the mountains and forests, the chirping of birds on the trees and the faint cries of deer in the distance made him feel refreshed. .

"Ah, hoo."

At this time, Leader Liu at the wilderness station received a phone call, and there was a voice that he had not heard for a long time.

"Haha. Old Liu, I'm Gao Hu. It's not easy to talk to you on the phone once. I have to change the line at least four times."
