Chapter 490

If a person has a goal, he will be extraordinarily powerful in doing things.

After He Yifan distinguished the difference between wild coriander and wild carrot seedlings, he immediately went out to the back of the courtyard with a basket on his shoulders.

Naturally, Liu Junhao will not stop this matter. The couple are quite relieved to see such a change in this brat.Last night Zhang Qian also said that she wanted to report to her aunt, but she was stopped.

He was afraid that this brat would work for 3 minutes, and after this energy passed, he would return to his usual idleness.If this is the case, Aunt Zhang Qian will be happy for nothing.

After lunch, He Yifan slept until three o'clock and went out with a snakeskin bag, saying he wanted to visit the river beach.This time Liu Junhao didn't follow, but asked him to bring Xiaopi, if something happened, it would be good to have someone to take care of him.Besides, wild coriander seeds are no better than fish, wood and grass. It's a big deal to be able to squeeze a snakeskin bag in one afternoon. They weigh dozens of catties and can't hold their own.

There weren't too many wild coriander by the river, He Yifan stroked it quickly, and finished the old coriander on the river beach in a short while.After basking in the sun for a long time, Xiaopi stuck out his tongue so hot that he jumped into the river and took a few baths to cool off completely.He Yifan could bear it, his clothes were already wet with sweat, but he still had no plans to go home, so he turned his target to the back mountain again, and led Xiaopi towards the mountain.

The bear boy walked upstream along a small stream, no one had probably been to this place, the further he went to the depths of the forest, the more wild coriander, and finally he picked up nearly two bags.These can be sold for at least 200 yuan if they are dried in the sun. It will take a few days, and I guess I can scrape together enough money to buy a computer.

Just as He Yifan was thinking, he raised his head in the distance unintentionally, and suddenly became excited again.

Just less than five meters away from me, there are two star anise trees growing, and the trees are covered with green star anise, which looks really gratifying.Probably these star anise trees have never been discovered before, and a thick layer of star anise has fallen from the ground.

Although he is a master at home who stretches out his hands for clothes and opens his mouth for food, he also knows that star anise is a kind of seasoning, and it is very valuable, at least ten yuan a catty can be sold.

He had been to the plot of his brother-in-law's house once, and there were a few star anise trees planted there, so He Yifan was quite familiar with it.

Seeing the star anise on the ground, he immediately ran over to pick it up, and after picking up the star anise on the ground, he got most of the snakeskin bag.Fortunately, I brought a few more snakeskin bags when I came, otherwise there would be no place to pack them, and so many star anises would be worth 300 yuan.

Looking at those star anises on the tree, He Yifan suddenly became depressed again.When I came here, I didn't expect to encounter an octagonal tree, so I didn't bring a bamboo pole.He doesn't know how to climb trees, so he can only look at the RMB hanging on the treetops and has nothing to do.

It seems that I can only call my brother-in-law to come with me tomorrow, and let's carry these things down the mountain now.

It wasn't until now that he realized that it was almost seven o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already dark in the mountains and forests.

But He Yifan wasn't worried. With Xiaopi around, he wasn't afraid of anything. After all, this thing was the master who dared to fight the clouded leopard.What he is worried about now is how to get back the snakeskin bags of weeds later.

Whatever was on his mind, just as he thought of Clouded Leopard, he saw Xiaopi hunching over and growling a few times.

Within 2 minutes, a few colorful little guys emerged from the woods, which were the clouded leopards raised in Liu Junhao's courtyard.He Yifan has lived here for two weeks, and often gets some food to feed them, and he has become acquainted with the little clouded leopard for a long time.So these little guys smelled the smell and immediately ran to act like a baby.

The mother clouded leopard seemed to be very relieved of him, but she just squatted not far away to watch and did not come over.

Seeing this guy, He Yifan's brain turned, and he even thought of a way to get the snakeskin bag down—let Mother Clouded Leopard and Xiaopi each carry half a bag, and carry another bag by himself, that's all.

Thinking of this verse, he immediately grabbed the snakeskin bag and put it on the yellow spot leather back.Liu Junhao had used Xiaopi like this before, so this guy didn't resist, but stood there very firmly.

Originally thought that the mother clouded leopard would resist, but who knew that this guy also accepted the half snakeskin bag.And it looks more relaxed, and it doesn't even wobble when you put it on.

In this way, He Yifan carried the remaining half bag of star anise and led them slowly down the mountain.

Walk along the way you came from, and within half an hour, you will be outside the mountain.

When Liu Junhao was about to make dinner, he remembered that He Yifan hadn't returned yet. He greeted his wife, and then let another macular skin follow the scent into the mountain.

As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw the brat directing Clouded Leopard and Xiao Pi to walk towards him.

He was stunned, he didn't expect his mother Clouded Leopard to follow orders, it seemed that this thing was really cooked, and even his relatives could accept it.

"Squeeze so much, won't you get wild carrot seeds again?"

"How can it be? I recognize it very clearly now. There are only two bags of wild coriander, and this snakeskin bag contains star anise. I found a few wild star anise trees..." He Yifan replied happily.

"Really?" Liu Junhao didn't expect that this brat would be so lucky to find an octagonal tree on a trip up the mountain.

The two returned home with the macula and the clouded leopard. Zhang Qian was also surprised to hear that they had picked up so many star anises. She hurriedly asked her husband to help them dry them on the roof and sell them on the street at noon tomorrow.

Liu Junhao opened the mouth of the bag in response, his expression changed suddenly, and he asked, "Yifan, did you find this thing at the corner of Xiaotugou?"

"I don't know what the name of the place is, but there is indeed a bend. What's wrong, brother-in-law?" He Yifan replied puzzled.

"There should be tall pine trees in that place, and the few star anise trees you found are not tall, right?" Liu Junhao asked again.

"Well, you know this place too." He Yifan recalled it for half a minute, then nodded.

"Of course I know, it seems that what you have done is useless again." Liu Junhao said with a wry smile, "Most of the bags you picked up are not star anise at all, but reckless grass."

"What is mangcao?" Zhang Qian came over to grab a handful and asked in confusion, "It looks exactly the same as star anise."

"The difference is big. You can tell by counting the corners of this thing." Liu Junhao pointed to the one in the bag and said.

"One, two, three...nine horns, that's normal. Not all octagons have eight petals, but many have nine horns." Zhang Qian clearly remembered that once she found a nine-petal star anise, It was very strange at the time, and my husband specially popularized it for her.

"Of course I know that the star anise generally has seven to nine petals, and most of them have eight petals. But look at this half bag, and then check carefully how much it is."

Zhang Qian counted several, there were nine petals, ten petals, and even twelve petals.

"Why are there so many? It's really not anise."

"Certainly not. As long as there are more than ten petals, it can be concluded that it is mangcao. This thing is also called fennel, which is smaller than fennel." Liu Junhao went back to the room and took a few real star anise, and put them together for comparison.

"It's all fennel, so there shouldn't be any difference. It just has more horns and is a little smaller, so they can be sold for the same use." He Yifan said unwillingly.

"The same use? Don't dare to use this one. Mangcao is highly poisonous, and people will suffer serious problems if they eat it. There have been several cases of mangcao poisoning in a certain city in our country. The patients thought that the problem was caused by eating fennel. In fact It is poisoned by mangcao." There are too many unscrupulous traders, Liu Junhao used to sell thirteen incense, and he knew that many aniseeds in the market were using mangcao to pretend to be star anise.Most people don't know this thing, and it's hard to find the difference, and it's too late to have a problem.

In order to prevent customers from recognizing the fake star anise, some unscrupulous vendors even smashed the fake aniseed ingredients or broke off the petals.

"So serious?" He Yifan was taken aback, and didn't dare to talk about selling reckless grass again.

"Actually, there are people who collect mangcao. It costs a few yuan a catty, but they are used as medicinal materials. No one in Daqingshan accepts this thing." Liu Junhao then explained.

"That means this thing has no effect at all?" He Yifan was frustrated.The day before yesterday, I used wild carrots as wild coriander, but I threw away all the seeds for a long time.

I ran a few miles today, and even got some poisonous weeds down after exhausting myself.Fortunately, it didn't sell, otherwise I don't know what will happen.It seems that money is really hard to earn. If I want to scrape together enough money to buy a computer, I'm afraid it will not be as easy as I imagined.

"In fact, mangcao still has an effect. It can poison fish. It is safe and hygienic to use this poisonous fish, and it will not cause large-scale fish deaths." Liu Junhao comforted.

These brats usually go into the water to catch fish if they want to eat it. Poisoning fish is only an occasional thing, and they use reckless grass.Different from the kind of fish poisoning medicine that kills children and grandchildren, Mangcao poisonous fish makes little noise. This thing is smashed and mixed with it and thrown into the water to poison fish. It is more effective than pesticides bought from the street. .The fish that swallowed the dough will be paralyzed all over the body. At that time, they only need to go to the river and fish with a net bag.

This thing is safe and reliable, people will not have any problems if they eat poisonous fish, and it will not affect other creatures in the water.

"Can you poison fish?!" He Yifan immediately went back to the house to make some dough for experiment after hearing what he said.I have been busy for a long time, so I must let these reckless waste be used.

It was also the first time Zhang Qian had heard about the poisonous fish by mangcao, so she took a camera and waited by the side of the ditch to take pictures.

It's really like what my husband said, when the dough was thrown into the water, several big crucian carp immediately swallowed it.But soon the guys who had eaten the dough began to scurry around the water, as if they had been electrocuted.After a while, one by one turned their bellies and surfaced.

He Yifan wanted to pick up these fish with a net and fry them, but Zhang Qian stopped him, saying that he wanted to catch fish in the backyard, which would definitely not work.

Liu Junhao told his wife to be too careful. They often ate it when they were young, and they didn't see any problems.However, according to his wife's wishes, these fish were thrown to Qingzhuang after their guts were gutted.

Zhang Qian worried about this for a long time, and finally found that there was nothing wrong with the fish-eating Qingzhuang.

After discovering the reckless grass, Liu Junhao raised the alarm again, and posted a message on the Internet. The next day, he went to that place to take a few photos to let everyone distinguish.

Of course, photos of mangcao are also added to the album in the village, so that tourists should pay more attention when they go up the mountain, and don't take it as star anise.

* * *
Wild coriander was much less than fish, wood and grass. He Yifan was not so lucky when he went up the mountain the next day. He only picked up a small half bag in half a day, and even less in the afternoon.

But the child was not discouraged, but aimed at the cicada shell on the tree.

After a heavy rain, the long-awaited Cicada finally made its debut on a large scale. Within a few days, the ground in Liu Junhao Courtyard became potholed, full of small holes, and tourists in Liujiagou once again ushered in a wave of peaks.

Taking advantage of Sunday, Zhang Qian's second brother rushed to Liujiagou with his family.

As soon as she got out of the car, Zhang Qian's second sister-in-law, Zhou Ping, began to complain, "I don't know what's good about Liujiagou. She has fascinated us, Xiao Jianhui. He wants to come here every three days. I cried all night last night and said that I want to come here." You know, the illness is not cured..."

Zhang Qian knew that the second sister-in-law had a bad mouth, so she didn't take it seriously, and asked, "What's wrong with Jianhui?"

"Don't listen to what your second sister-in-law said. A few nights ago, the air conditioner was turned on too low. Jianhui slept and liked to push the quilt. As a result, he caught a cold. His nose kept running, his head was screaming, and he coughed continuously. He was given water in the hospital for a few days. The cold has been cured, but the cough is not serious at all, and it didn't work after two visits. I wanted to take him to the hospital again, but this guy was crying and making a fuss, so I had to take him to play in Liujiagou for half a day, and then leave in the afternoon." Zhang Qian's second brother opened his mouth to explain.

"Cough, Xiaohao, go to the field and dig some toad skin for him. This thing is very effective in curing coughs." Teacher Wang next to him interjected.Mrs. Zhao had a cough a few years ago. She heard Liu Wunai say that toad skin cure is very effective, so she dug some up and let her wife drink it. The result was effective that day, and the next day the cough was all gone.

Since then, she has remembered this recipe.

"That's right, why did I forget this stubble, wait, I'll dig it out right away." Nowadays, most people who are sick go to the street to get some western medicine and eat it, and many rural folk remedies are completely forgotten.If he didn't listen to Mr. Wang, Liu Junhao had forgotten about the cure of cough with toad skin.

Toad skin is a very common plant in rural areas. Its leaves have many undulating folds, and the bumps are very similar to toad skin. Therefore, most rural people call it toad skin.The taste of this stuff is extremely bitter and has a special taste. Cattle, sheep and other livestock do not eat it.It can survive wherever there is soil, whether it's a cornfield or a crevice in a ditch.

It is precisely because it is so common that many people will not notice the toad skin under their feet.

"Toad skin, where are you looking for it now?" Zhang Qian asked strangely.

"It's everywhere in the field, so it's easy to find." Liu Junhao didn't know what his daughter-in-law meant.

"It's easy to find. Last time, didn't you say that toads only shed their skin at night?"

Sweating, Liu Junhao patted his head, and only then did he know what his wife was referring to, and quickly explained: "This toad skin is not that toad skin. It is the wild spicy plant on our river beach. Its scientific name is lychee grass. It is very effective in treating cough. In addition to reducing inflammation and pain, it can also treat mumps, hemorrhoids and sore throat.

I once suffered from mumps when I was a child. My grandfather made a few sheets of toad skin and mashed it with egg white, and applied it on my cheeks. Within two days, the mumps was cured. "

"Does it really work?" Zhou Ping didn't believe that a little weed could cure a disease. She thought it was a superstition.But he was kind, and she was too embarrassed to refuse.

"You can try it to see if it works, anyway, you will leave in the afternoon." Liu Junhao invited them into the courtyard, and then went out with a sickle.

When I collected plants before, I dug up a few toad skins and found a large area in two years. I didn't expect it to be useful now.

As soon as he got to the edge of the embankment, he immediately got into the stone lock and dug out two plants.The last time he helped a tourist treat lacquer sores, Liu Junhao found that the things in the stone lock were much better than the outside world.

It was time to harvest the toad skin. These two plants were almost one meter high, enough for Xiao Jianhui to use.

Liu Junhao didn't make soup for Xiao Jianhui to drink. The taste was too bitter, so he might not be used to it.He is going to make a plate of scrambled eggs with toad skin. This dish is simple to make. Heat the pot and pour oil, then put the toad skin and eggs into the pot and cook on low heat.

Originally, I thought that Xiao Jianhui would resist eating this food, but I didn't expect that seeing the delicious golden eggs, the little guy actually got an appetite and ate it all in one go.

Not to mention the effect is really good, eat more scrambled eggs with toad skin at ten o'clock, and wake up from a nap at noon, the little guy's cough has eased.

Now Zhang Qian's second brother and sister-in-law will never mention it again, and plan to let their son eat toad skin twice to see the effect.

After eating two meals in a row, the little guy's cough was all gone when he woke up the next morning!
"This toad skin is really effective in curing coughs, so don't underestimate it!" After breakfast, Zhou Ping was also very excited to see her son's energetic appearance.Her attitude towards toad skin has now turned 180 degrees, and she even said that she will have nothing to do later and ask Liu Junhao to lead them to the field to dig some toad skin and dry it for later use.

"Come with me, I know where there are more places" He Yifan saw the toad skin dug up by his brother-in-law yesterday, and found it familiar.

Zhang Qian's second brother and his daughter-in-law were obviously hot, and they clamored to come back after digging the toad skin.He Yifan didn't follow, saying that he was going to find Cicada in the willow forest on the river beach.

"Xiaohao, how did you educate He Yifan? He has only come to your house for 20 days, why has it changed so much?" Zhou Ping asked incredulously after returning.

Just now on the river beach, the couple of them chatted with He Yifan, knowing that he is busy mowing grass to make money these days.

"Hehe, it's probably because of Qian Qian," Zhang Qian answered in an interface.In fact, they don't know the reason until now, they can only guess that it is driven by money.

"Even He Yifan can make money by himself, it's unbelievable." Zhang Qian's second brother still finds it hard to accept.

It should be said that their relatives all knew that He Yifan was a darling in his aunt's house, he stretched out his hands for clothes and opened his mouth for food, but he couldn't control it when he grew up.Moreover, this bear child is indifferent to adults when he sees it, which is very troublesome.Fortunately, he even offered to help them cut the toad skin, and even knew how to ask them if they were busy with work.

"You might as well give my little Jianhui to you, I'm afraid he will grow up to be like Yifan..." Zhang Qian's second sister-in-law joked.She was just joking, knowing that people are busy taking care of their two children now, so how could they have time to look after their children.
