Peasant Girl's Jingxiu Pastoral

Chapter 7 Houttuynia cordata

After saying hello to each other, the three of Yunyue and his brother walked towards the field ridge, thinking that there are a lot of wild vegetables in spring, if you can find them, you can pick some, at least it can fill your stomach, so you can eat more, and Yunyue walked ahead , the two siblings followed along, and did not ask the little man in the front halfway. Although they did not ask, the two siblings behind were also really curious. Looking for something.

At this time, I saw Yanyue squatting down extremely excitedly, looking at the purple-red Houttuynia cordata with big ears growing on the field ridge, Yanyue could not close her mouth happily, and then she opened her mouth to call The two sisters and younger brothers called for them to come forward and help.

Houttuynia cordata, also known as zheergen and jianergen, is a dicotyledonous herb with a stench.

The surface is purple-red or brownish-yellow, with several longitudinal ribs, obvious nodes, and residual fibrous roots on the lower nodes; brittle and easy to break.The leaves are alternate, the leaves are curled and shrunk, and they are heart-shaped after being flattened. When crushed, they have a fishy smell and a slightly astringent taste.Xin, slightly cold.Return lung meridian.It has the functions of clearing away heat and detoxification, eliminating carbuncle and discharging pus, diuresis and treating stranguria.It can also be eaten cold.

Then Yanyue told the siblings how to pick Houttuynia cordata, and the three of them whispered together, and then carefully found the fat and tender Houttuynia cordata, not long after, Yanyue looked up at the picking situation of the three of them, Finding that the uprooted one was enough for a meal, he called the siblings to stop, knowing that Houttuynia cordata must be eaten fresh, so he said: "Elder sister, younger brother, this wild vegetable is enough, I will pull it up after eating, this will pull it up." If there are too many, it will not be fresh, and the taste will be reduced."

Yingyu and her younger brother stopped immediately when they heard what Yanyue said, and then the three of them got up, took some each, went down the field ridge, and went to the stream to clean up before taking them home. Yu just squatted down and washed Houttuynia cordata, but what about Ouyang Mu?Yanyue asked him to find a rock, and sat on it to wait for them. Ouyang Mu sat on the rock very well, and soon Yanyue and his sister washed the Houttuynia cordata, and then they took some Called Ouyang Mu who was waiting on the rock, and then walked home step by step.

When she got to a place not far from home, Yue Yue looked up at her yard, and found that her parents were not in the yard, but there was a puff of smoke drifting over the roof towards the kitchen, presumably her mother was cooking lunch Bar.

The three sisters and brothers quickened their pace and returned to their yard. Yunyue and Yingyu let the younger brother play by himself, and then the two sisters went to the kitchen with Houttuynia cordata. When they arrived in the kitchen, they found that her mother had mixed cornmeal , is preparing to bake tortillas.

At that time, although the condition of Ouyang's family was extremely poor, and there was not much oil and water in the cooking, there was still a bit of oil. There was also some lard and rapeseed oil for oily food. They probably bought the rapeseed they grew at home in exchange for it.

Yanyue's own mother was holding a bottle and using a spoon to scoop up a little bit of vegetable oil and poured it on the spatula. It looked like it was too much, so she rinsed the pot with the spatula, and then put the kneaded corn balls one by one. !

Yingyu didn't bother seeing her younger sister watching seriously, but her mother, Fang, saw her two daughters standing behind her quietly, and while putting corn cakes in the pot, she said with a smile: "What are you two doing?" What? What's in your hand?"

Seeing her mother asking about it, Yanyue told her mother about Houttuynia cordata again. Although Fang didn't say anything, she always felt a little weird in her heart, saying that the little daughter fell and woke up. No matter how I came here, I feel a little different, as if I have become smarter and know more, maybe there is some adventure.

Speaking of Fang's truth, although Yan Yue has no adventures, it is like an adventure. You have to know a lot about a rural girl in the 21st century who graduated from an agricultural university.

Fang felt that this was because she was thinking too much. Although she was thinking this way in her heart, Fang did not let go of her busy hands. While turning over the tortillas in the pot, she thought that as long as she was her daughter, it would be fine. , It’s different if it’s different, anyway, as long as the family lives well, it’s better than anything else!Let the rest go with the flow!
