Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 130 Summer Harvest is Coming
Wang Aiduo couldn't help but hide away when he heard what he said was so vulgar.

Disgusted face.

But he couldn't help it, holding his stomach and laughing.

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu couldn't help laughing.

Si Ya gets excited when she talks about eating.

Don't forget, today, Wang Chengzhou has earned a big pig's head with his ability!
Usually, when the team kills a pig, the pig's head is also considered to be in the water.

One weighs about ten kilograms.

After cooking it and removing the bones, you can get almost five kilograms of meat.

This is really not a small amount.

The life of the country people is hard, and they are so greedy that they are willing to buy eight taels and one kilogram of pig head meat to eat.

Seriously good meat, whoever can't live well, eat it!

Until the 21st century.

During festivals, a seller comes to the village to sell cooked food, mostly pork liver, beef liver, pig head meat, and beef head meat.

Therefore, even if she was staring at the pig's head in front of her, Siya couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Seeing that his daughter had no future, Wang Honghe took a puff of dry cigarette and even smiled like a chrysanthemum on his face.

Immediately, he picked it up to study it and nodded, "Hey, with it, this summer's wheat harvest will make life easier."

"That's not!"

Li Yuzhu also walked over, her eyes full of smiles, "They say that Mai is like going through a fire pit. After more than half a month, people have to shed their skin."

"Every day I get up early and go late at night, lying in the steaming fields to cut wheat under the bright sun. If I don't fill my stomach, I will die from the heat."

"Eat something good, man, so you can resist for a little longer."

Si Ya was originally very happy, but when she heard this, her little face couldn't help but burst into tears.

He grinned and said mischievously:

"Oh, I'm just thinking about something beautiful, can you not mention the hardship?"

"When these two things are mixed together, the smell of the pig head meat is gone!"

"I don't want to cut the wheat!"

The family almost laughed like a pig.

Li Yuzhu glared at her, dumbfounded, "You damn girl, can you taste the taste of a pig's head just by looking at it?"

"I imagined it!"

Si Ya raised her neck and felt confident.

"Hey, you girl."

Seeing that his daughter was acting like a greedy cat, Wang Honghe immediately couldn't sit still and sighed, "Then I'll pack up and cook now."

"It's just that it's too hot today, so the meat won't last for a few days."

"Wait a minute, you guys can satisfy your hunger, and salt the rest. You can eat it every day."

Siya grinned and said sadly: "Ah, do you want to eat bacon again?"

"It's good to eat some meat, but I'm picky about the fat and thin ones."

When Li Yuzhu heard this, she was very unhappy, "A few years ago, during the wheat festival, I was thankful to have a bowl of brown sugar water at home."

"Instead of your brother treating the village chief's daughter, eating steamed buns and drinking cold water, you still have to work in the fields."

"Don't be ignorant!"

Si Ya pouted, not daring to argue.

It wasn't that she disliked bacon, it was just that there were no refrigerators in those days and a lot of salt was often needed to preserve food.

The storage time is a little longer, but it is so salty that eating it in the mouth can kill people.

Basically, there is no meat flavor at all.

Wang Chengzhou was very happy to see this little girl getting into bad luck again.

But then, something came to mind, and my heart moved, "Mom and Dad, actually, you can store the pig head meat for a few more days without using so much salt."

"No salt?"

Li Yuzhu frowned, not believing it.

If it can be eaten normally, who would want to eat something so salty and bitter?

"Yes, it's actually not complicated."

Wang Chengzhou said with a smile: "First of all, cooked pig head meat contains a lot of fat, and fat is the least likely thing to spoil, just like the butter we got before."

As soon as we talked about this, the family became excited.

At the beginning, it was Wang Chengzhou's wise decision that allowed the family to get a lot of butter, but they haven't finished it yet.

"We can cut the pig head meat into small pieces and stir-fry it in a pot to produce oil. After the oil solidifies, it will form a natural preservation layer that can isolate oxygen."

"Then, we cover it with a wet cloth dipped in vinegar to sterilize and disinfect it."

"With a two-pronged approach, it won't be a problem to store it for several days."

Wang Chengzhou finished speaking in one breath, and Si Ya's eyes brightened.

Jumping with joy.

Li Yuzhu and Wang Honghe didn't quite understand some of the words, but they felt that their son's knowledge was really amazing!

Any food can tell so many truths.

Unexpectedly, before Wang Chengzhou finished speaking, he looked at Wang Aiduo and said seriously:
"Si Ya, these are the wisdom of our ancestors, and they are the knowledge gained from books."

"People have known about this for a long time, but they can't explain why."

"In the future, when you are admitted to university, you can help me research some things that you know but don't know why, okay?"

Si Ya suddenly flashed her big eyes and felt a seriousness that she had never seen before in her second brother.

He couldn't help but put away all his playful thoughts and nodded solemnly.

He patted his small chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll wrap it up!"

Wang Chengzhou grinned.

In fact, it seems impossible to completely explain the theory of traditional Chinese medicine in a scientific way.

It is not a task that can be completed by one or two people.It's just an occasional feeling.

The family was busy all afternoon and finally satisfied their craving.

I also replenished my body for the upcoming summer harvest to cope with those difficult days.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Wang Chengzhou was woken up by Chen Weihong again.

When the two passed by the field, they discovered that the wheat was really yellow.

Waves of heat waves rolled in, and the heavy wheat ears undulated with the wind, shaking their heads, showing the joy of the harvest.

Preparations began in the brigade.

They, the village health workers, need to receive some heat-relieving and cooling medicines.

For example: Rendan, cooling oil, Huoxiang Zhengqi water.

However, it was different from now.

At that time, supplies were in short supply. These were very precious emergency medicines, but not every household could prepare them.

You must show obvious symptoms of heatstroke to apply for use.

Therefore, it means that when most people experience mild symptoms such as dizziness, abdominal pain, nausea, etc., they can only rely on their own bodies to get through it.

However, as the saying goes, God will never starve to death.

No matter how difficult the conditions are, the working people always have solutions to deal with them.

For example, when working, try to leave early and come back late.

The summer days are long, and the sky will be bright at four or five in the morning. Everyone will take advantage of the dew and go to work in the fields with sickles.

We worked until about ten o'clock in the morning, when the sun became fierce, and then we transported the cut wheat to the threshing floor.

Then, under the shade of a tree at the end of the field, I listened to the cicadas chirping and enjoyed the coolness for a while.

In the afternoon, I have to wait until three or four o'clock before starting work.

Wearing stars and wearing moonlight, we worked until ninety o'clock in the evening before going home for dinner.

After a busy day, their bodies were covered with sweat and stains. The gentlemen would take advantage of the light to take a bath in the White River.

Ladies can just take advantage of the free time to go home and wipe themselves down to relieve the fatigue of the day.

However, this is of course an ideal situation.

If there is bad weather, you will have to work hard in order to rush the work.

In that situation, members are most likely to suffer from heatstroke.

Looking at the few medicines he received in the medicine box, Wang Chengzhou smacked his lips and wanted to curse.

This little thing is useless!

Chen Weihong seemed to notice his dissatisfaction and comforted him:

"Wang Chengzhou, it would be nice to have these."

"This is a material that has only been approved by the higher authorities after the situation has improved in the past two years. In fact, it only serves to appease people's hearts. Let everyone know that if anyone is really tired and gets sick, we have medicine to treat it. !”

"So, when you use it, you must be careful and careful. Don't let the medicine run out before the wheat harvest is half over."

Wang Chengzhou almost laughed angrily.

Co-authored, this is not a medicine, but a carrot hanging in front of you to attract the donkey to grind!

But the situation is like this, and there is nothing one person can do to change anything.

I was just thinking to myself that I would take some time to go to the back mountain tomorrow to see if I could find some herbs to relieve the symptoms of heatstroke.

You are not Wang Aiduo, so you don’t need to eat, just looking at it will satisfy your craving.

What's really going on? These little medicines have limited effect.

After receiving the medicine, the two of them helped get several large water tanks into the ground.

When the summer is dry and the game is played, the water tank is a necessary fire-fighting tool, and there is no room for sloppiness.

Moreover, if it’s really hot, you can wash your face and cool down.

After working for a while, Wang Chengzhou went to the back mountain.

The weather is hot, but the stream is cool.

Luan Hongying always liked playing in the water, and now she had even more reason to play in the water.

A man was sitting on the big bluestone, his sweats were cold and thin.

Next to her lay the red-tasseled gun she carried with her.

From time to time his feet would tap the water, causing the fish to scatter in all directions.

After a while, they gathered again.

They were crowded together, with their mouths open, looking silly, which made the instigator have a heartless smile on his lips.

Both parties enjoy it endlessly.

Wang Chengzhou, who had just come out of the fields and was half-baked to death, was really envious.

But I felt something was missing, so I jumped up, sat down next to her, and gestured excitedly.

"big watermelon?"

Luan Hongying swallowed, her beautiful eyes full of desire.

Wangjiacun is located on the bank of Baihe River, so naturally there is a beach.

Since sand cannot retain moisture, ordinary crops cannot be grown.

But Watermelon likes sandy soil very much.

Moreover, early watermelons have a short growth cycle and can often be harvested before the rainy season arrives.

Therefore, the brigade planted several watermelon fields by the river.

However, because Luan Xiuwu didn't get along with the villagers, and Luan Hongying often stayed in the mountains, she could occasionally eat watermelon once or twice in the summer, but she was never satisfied.

Luan Hongying almost drooled when she heard him mention this.

Wang Chengzhou just wanted to laugh when he saw it, and he patted his chest and promised that he would get a few for her when the wheat was harvested.

Then, soak in the cool stream water and even eat refreshing iced watermelon!
The pie was drawn out of thin air and trapped Luan Hongying on the spot.
