Domineering little Shennong

Chapter 489 White Eel and Lotus Seed Soup (please recommend!)
Soon, the two brought the white eel back to the village.

The great uncle lived alone decades ago. The small yard was full of flowers and plants, and there were two cute little cats. The body kept rubbing against the uncle's leg.

Chen Dazhi thought it was fun, squatted down, and couldn't help teasing the two little cats for a while.

The great uncle was born without children, and it is said that he got married once when he was young. Later, the woman despised him for being poor, short-sighted, and worthless, so he ran away.

From then on, my great-uncle began to live alone.

After closing the gate of the courtyard, Grand Uncle began to carefully handle his treasures, then turned around and handed Chen Dazhi a gray object, and said mysteriously, "This thing is full of tonic."

Chen Dazhi looked disgusted, this thing was about the size of a little fingernail, and it felt very hard in his hand. Chen Dazhi squeezed it hard, and it was really hard.

What's more, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it resembled it... It was simply sheep-shit-eggs from the village goats.

It's disgusting to look at.

He will not eat!
However, Grand Uncle Tai said, "These lotus seeds have been buried in the ground for hundreds of years. The old man was lucky enough to go to the eight hundred miles of Liangshan to dig them up. He has never been willing to eat them. Today you are lucky. "

Chen Dazhi took advantage of the great uncle's face.

Even if the real area of ​​Liangshan was not as large as eight hundred miles, it would not be too small.

What Taishugong meant was that when he was young, he traveled a long distance to the vicinity of the current Liang-Shan-County.

Then in a kiln factory, some people may not know the size of the red bricks used in the previous construction, 240x115x53. In the area of ​​Liang-Shan-County Town, and the surrounding areas, there is a very thick straight tube. , a large kiln with a feeling of being directly inserted into the sky, the main raw materials are fired with local soil.

Now in accordance with the requirements of environmental protection, many such large kilns have begun to be shut down.

However, in those days, although the relevant departments have been governing, they planned to strictly control the land area and prohibit this kind of production method that completely destroys the soil for the sake of economy.

In private, there are still many people who secretly enclose a large piece of land for money and life, saying that they are digging fish ponds and preparing to raise fish. In fact, excavators and bulldozers dig a dozen or tens of meters deep. The excavated soil was transported to the kiln factory and sold to the kiln factory at a low price to make red bricks.

But after digging deep into the ground, the soil began to turn black, and in some places, the shape of lotus leaves layer by layer could still be seen clearly.

There used to be a large pond within [-] miles around Liangshan County. These lotus leaves that have been carbonized and turned into black soil due to the vicissitudes of the sea and the terrain change are the waters in the Liangshan waters that were [-] miles away. Those lotus leaves.

However, the lotus seeds back then, under the vicissitudes of the world, managed to survive.

At that time, someone accidentally found lotus seeds and a broken sword in the black soil, and immediately someone offered [-] yuan to buy them.

Later, more and more people began to look for treasures in the black soil. Even the drivers of excavators and bulldozers couldn’t help but look for lotus seeds in the black soil. Try your luck, just in case you find the weapon of Liangshan heroes.

At that time, Grand Uncle happened to know about this matter, asked someone to take him to find the place, followed the treasure hunting army to rummage around, and finally found some lotus seeds, these lotus seeds were no more precious than the broken sword that the man picked up.

It was only later that the relevant departments intervened, sealed off the site, and prohibited any form of private mining of land, and the turmoil gradually subsided. If we go back a few decades and ask the elderly people in the area, they probably Still have this impression.

The old man fiddled with it for a long time, and told Chen Dazhi to go to the mountain to get some spring water, and he must have the mountain spring water halfway up the back mountain.

Chen Dazhi responded, ran home, took the Shennong pot, and casually told Chen Ma that he would not be home for lunch.After thinking about it, he took out the beads in his pocket and handed them to Mama Chen.

Mama Chen wanted to say something when she saw her son's drenched clothes, but when she took the beads from Chen Dazhi's hand, Mama Chen's eyes lit up, and she asked nervously, "Where is the son from?" ?”

"I picked it up in the water."

"Then go and change quickly, don't catch a cold."

Chen Dazhi went into the house, changed into a set of clean clothes, went out, and disappeared without a trace, carrying the Shennong pot.

Chen's mother closed the courtyard door carefully, put the latch on the door, called out Chen's father who was lighting the fire in the kitchen, and said, "Chen Laoshi, what do you think this is?"

"Ye Mingzhu?" Father Chen looked at the pearl shining in the sunlight in Mother Chen's hand, with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.

The mountain spring water halfway up the mountain has been tested by Tai Shugong long ago, and it is the cleanest and sweetest on the entire back mountain.

Looking at the Shennong pot boiling water, Chen Dazhi also had a look of anticipation in his eyes.

But when it was time to cook, the great-uncle drove Chen Dazhi out of the yard and told him to go outside to find some mulberry leaves.

In Chen Dazhi's impression, mulberry trees are roughly divided into two types, one is red fruit, which will turn black when fully ripe, and the other is white fruit when ripe, and the mulberries of this white fruit are sweeter.

Moreover, in traditional Chinese medicine, the leaves of mulberry trees, which can bear white fruits, have been used as medicine primers for a long time. For example, in the fourth national census in the 90s, it was found that there were more longevity people in a certain county in Xinjiang. One is that mulberry trees are commonly planted here. The local people are used to using mulberry leaves instead of making tea and drinking water, and they also eat mulberries all year round.

Mulberry leaves have always been a very valuable thing.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the medicinal value of mulberry leaves has been recorded in the world's earliest medicinal book "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic" completed in the 2nd century.For diabetes, cough, fever, treatment of dizziness, eye fatigue, swelling and clearing blood.It is effective in treating dysentery, edema, nourishing the liver, beautifying the skin, losing weight, etc., and even various intractable diseases.

The online Baidu Encyclopedia introduces more than that about the medicinal value of mulberry leaves.

When Chen Dazhi came back after picking the mulberry leaves.

Grand Uncle's white eel and lotus seed soup is ready, in a small celadon bowl, with a fragrant soup. He first ordered Chen Dazhi to wash the mulberry leaves, and then put two pieces in the small celadon bowl.

After pouring the soup, a burst of hot air mixed with the fragrance of mulberry leaves rushed towards him, making Chen Dazhi take two more breaths of air.

"Come and taste how the old man's craftsmanship is. I haven't made anything for decades. I don't know if this craftsmanship has regressed."

As the great uncle said, he put a piece of sliced ​​white eel meat into Chen Dazhi's bowl with a spoon, and blew a few mouthfuls of hot air. Chen Dazhi didn't care about it being hot, but the moment the sliced ​​meat was biting into his mouth, his head suddenly exploded. One thought, "Grand Uncle adds ingredients to this soup..."
