Live Wilderness Adventure
Chapter 465: Houttuynia cordata
The powerful and sturdy white-limbed bison left, and waited for a while, and Bi Fang, who was completely away from it, rushed forward quickly, not caring about burning his hands, and pressed the charcoal ash that was still smoking white smoke on the wound.
Plant ash is the product of combustion. After high temperature sterilization, there is no need to worry about infection. Instead, it is washed with water, which has certain risks.
The black charcoal ash fell on the red and swollen wound, and Bi Fang only felt as if he was soaked in cold water after running 10,000 meters, and the sourness disappeared.
The original painful wound has become acceptable, close to the feeling of ordinary burns.
A bite by a large centipede usually causes severe pain for hours on end, with the pain slowly spreading to the periphery, trunk, or chest.
Fortunately, Bi Fang handled it in time, cut open the wound decisively, and squeezed out most of the venom that had not yet spread.
If it were another person, he couldn't be so decisive.
Rubbing the black charcoal ash on the wound, Bi Fang explained: "The toxicity of many poisonous insects is acidic, such as some ants, centipedes, spiders, and bees, only a small part is alkaline, such as wasps, which are weak bases. Sex, so plant ash is used in most cases, at least to relieve your pain.”
"If you are not in the wild, but at home, you can also use soapy water and alcohol to clean the wound, and then use some herbs to clear heat and detoxify the wound."
[Wait, centipede venom is acidic, wasp is weakly alkaline, I have a bold idea? 】
[Tackling poison with poison is what it's like, right? dog head.jpg]
[Kenny Dee makes a sports car, his brain is wide open! 】
"That's not good, fighting poison with poison is just a fiction." Most of the pain disappeared, and Bi Fang was also in the mood to joke, but the pain of the wound still made his eyes twitch.
"This is a terrible disaster. Not only did the lunch that I got fly away, but it also hung up the prize for no reason." Bi Fang, who had painted the wound with grass and wood ash, shook his hand, complaining in his tone, but not too disappointed.
The original snake meat has been completely eaten by the white-limbed bison, and there is nothing left, not even the branches where the snake meat was inserted.
"The cooked duck flew away, so I can only replace it with something else." Bi Fang wrapped the centipede corpse just now in leaves and came to the fire.
At this time, the centipede corpse still did not stop twitching, and all arthropods have similar characteristics.
"The nervous system of a centipede is similar to that of an earthworm. It is a chain-like nervous system, so it can keep struggling if it is cut into two pieces. I just pressed its head off, and you see, there are many small centipedes in its abdomen."
Looking along Bi Fang's fingers, the dense white short insects startled Leonardo. He was far away just now, and the light was dim, but no audience from thousands of miles away could see clearly.
Although the big centipede died at this moment, these little centipedes who were just born didn't realize anything, they didn't have time to escape, or they were too young to escape.
"Without the snake meat, I can only eat it." Bi Fang sneered, picked up the charcoal beside him, rekindled the fire, and shook all the little centipedes into the leaves.
Despite the pain in the left hand, bear with it and do some work without a problem.
But when Bi Fang said that he wanted to eat centipedes, Leonardo stuttered and said, "Wait, wait, this, this thing can be eaten!?"
If Leonardo can understand snake meat, eating centipedes is unacceptable.
Is this something people can eat?
So disgusting, isn't it?
[Hahaha, we still have roasted centipedes in the night market here]
[There are so many bug packages, Xiao Li is afraid that he is not going crazy]
Bi Fang smiled and turned the centipede over with a branch: "The centipede is a great tonic and can be used as medicine. In many countries, centipede snacks are very famous. Didn't we go to the overnight market two days ago? Didn't we see it?"
Hearing what Bi Fang said, Leonardo also remembered.
It seems to be the case, but the night market is obviously only available at night. He didn't look carefully at that time, and thought it was some slender meat skewer. Now that I think about it, it looks like a centipede?
Is there a misunderstanding of this as food? Have nothing to eat?
"No, it's not that there is nothing to eat, it's just because centipedes are delicious, crisp and refreshing, and rich in protein. There is still a lot of danger in chewing centipedes raw, and the venom may enter the bloodstream in the upper digestive tract. , and that's a lot bigger than stinging you.
It is best to fry it. If it is baked, it may have a mushy taste, but we have no conditions to fry it. "
Taking advantage of the barbecue time, Bi Fang also took the branch to the place where the centipede had not bitten just now, walked back and forth, and poked the branch in his hand from time to time.
"The centipede has the habit of living in groups and is easily frightened. It likes to live in dark and damp places. We can see if there is any of its kind, and try to catch more. After all, one is not enough for two people."
"Wait, it's not two people, only you." Li Ang Naduo shook his head quickly, and kept stressing that he was insensitive to this disgusting guy.
"Why don't you try it?" Bi Fang straightened his waist and erected a branch. The centipede he had just dug up was stabbed by him and swayed on the branch.
Thinking of putting this guy in his stomach, Li Angna retched a little.
"Hahaha." Bi Fang ignored it and brought back the two centipedes he had just caught, and the one might have been burnt later.
The newly caught two are equally fat and look good.
That is, there are many audiences and Leonardo who can't accept it.
[feeling disgusting]
[I have eaten it, and it feels good, no taste, just crunch! 】
[Anyway, I can't accept it, it's a bit uncomfortable to watch]
[Come on, let’s go to the rainforest and starve for two days, let alone centipedes, you can even eat three bowls of cow dung]
【Ah this...】
"In the tropical rain forest, if there is no food to eat, it is also a good way to catch insects, and we can even dig nests to trap them. In the habitat where centipedes are often active, choose a shady and wet mountain before and after the beginning of spring, and dig a 'cross'-shaped long pit.
The pit is one to two meters long, about half a meter wide, and has a depth of more than a palm. It contains bird droppings and some rotten grass, and is covered with branches, clods or bricks to lure centipedes into the gaps. Check the next morning. If there is a centipede in the pit, it can be caught. "
Bi Fang put the two newly caught centipedes into the fire pit, and then fished out the centipedes that had just been baked, broke them into two pieces, and sent one piece directly into the mouth to chew.
The crisp chewing sound rang out, and a faint bitter taste wafted out along with the unique aroma of the arthropods after the barbecue.
Leonardo sniffed lightly, and was surprised to find that the smell was not bad.
"Try it." Bi Fang licked his lips and handed the remaining half to Leonardo.
"No."
Bi Fang insisted: "Have a taste."
"I won't be missing a piece of meat, try it."
"Do not......"
Leonardo wanted to refuse again, but the centipede almost stuck to his face. After hesitating, he still reached out and took it.
Looking at the half of the centipede curled up in his hand, it was almost half the length of his palm, and it was very thick. He looked up at Bi Fang, and found that the other party was holding the leaf and poured a bunch of small centipedes that had just been baked into his mouth. , munching on.
"Well, the little centipede is more fragrant. It has no salt, but it tastes sour. It may be because the venom is acidic. It tastes similar to ants. It has a pulpy taste."
[How did Lao Fang make it so delicious? . . 】
[I saw Hong Qigong take out a small knife, cut off the head and tail of the centipede, squeeze it lightly, and the shell falls off at hand, revealing the flesh, white and transparent, like a prawn, very beautiful. Yang Guo thought to himself, "I don't know if I can actually eat it like this."
[Hong Qigong boiled two more pots of snow water, washed the centipede meat, and then took out seven or eight iron boxes from the backpack. The boxes contained oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. kind. He got up the frying pan, poured the centipede meat down and fried it, and immediately a scent rushed to his nose. 】
[Damn, I've seen this part too! 】
【Delicious, but tasteless】
[I still can't accept it. 】
【What do ants smell like? 】
[Anyway, it’s sour. It’s sold on the Internet. A large jar is said to be used for health care. I feel that ants taste more sour than a **** lemon. Don’t just trust Lao Fang’s taste]
[Fang Shen said that it is not necessarily delicious, but if he said that it is unpalatable, it must not be eaten by humans. 】
[Fang Shenzhen, emmm, well-informed]
The audience in the live broadcast room came from all over the world, and there were also many who had tasted centipedes.
Leonardo hesitated again and again, but still stuffed half of the centipede into his mouth. As soon as he entered it, a faint bitter taste spread in his mouth.
It was the scorched shell, and when the tongue sipped lightly, the crispy shell shattered, revealing the softer flesh inside, but it was still dry.
When the teeth are biting apart, what is exposed is a faint sour taste, the taste of protein, like charred feathers.
Does it taste good, certainly not too good, but not too disgusting either.
Actually, not bad?
Leonardo was a little surprised. Except for the unacceptable appearance, everything else was completely different from what he thought.
"how do you feel?"
"Not bad, I've never eaten it before."
"Hey, if you really get lost in the rainforest, centipedes are actually a good source of food. If you can't even find centipedes, you can only eat earthworms, or something more disgusting."
At this time, the remaining two large centipedes were also roasted, but they were not as big as the one at the beginning. After Bi Fang ate two bites, there was a lot less meat.
After eating and packing, Bi Fang took Leonardo to the river again.
"Because it's survival, not survival. Originally, I should be looking for a good place to start building a camp. A few hundred meters away from the river is a good choice, but because I was just bitten by a centipede, I have to look for it now. Some herbs that can be applied externally."
[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】
"If you are bitten by a centipede, you can mash it with Houttuynia cordata or dandelion for external application. These two kinds of Chinese herbal medicines are both heat-clearing and detoxifying, and they are usually found in places where weeds grow."
"Dandelion?" Leonardo doesn't know what Houttuynia cordata is, but he is still very familiar with dandelion. It happens every spring, summer and autumn. When the wind blows, large areas are blown away. "Does dandelion still have such a role?"
"Yes." Bi Fang nodded, "Dandelion can actually be used as medicine. It is a very common traditional Chinese medicine. It can be used to clear away heat and detoxify, and can be used for colds and fever."
"I know this!" Leonardo was unexpectedly familiar with traditional Chinese medicine.
Bi Fang raised his eyebrows, not surprised.
It is strange to say that Chinese medicine is more popular in foreign countries than in China.
I don't remember where I saw the report. It is said that more than 60% of Europeans use traditional medicines, and Europe accounts for 44.5% of the world's herbal medicine market share.
There are many countries that have incorporated traditional Chinese medicine into the medical treatment system at an early stage.
This phenomenon made Bi Fang not knowing what to say.
Leonardo looked around and noticed a strange phenomenon: "I haven't seen a dandelion since just now?"
Um?
The audience was also stunned when they heard this. Looking at the picture in the camera, it seemed that there was indeed no Dandelion.
Nope, it's June, shouldn't it be everywhere?
Bi Fang shook his head: "Although the dandelion branch is very wide, almost all over the world, there really is no dandelion in the rainforest."
"You can see how dandelions are planted. Dandelions mostly grow in relatively open and windy places. Generally, there are more open grasslands such as hillsides and waterside.
And dandelion is just a weak herb. The vegetation in the tropical rain forest is dense and there is little wind; the plants at high places are heavily shaded and lack sunlight; the rainfall is more and irregular. Therefore, dandelions are basically not distributed in tropical rain forests. So my goal is not dandelion, but Houttuynia cordata. "
"Houttuynia cordata may be familiar to everyone. Its other name is Zheergen. Many people love it hard, but some people can't eat it when they smell it."
Just by listening to the names of Zheergen in Chinese medicine, you can imagine the smell of fenugreek, stinky vegetables, and stinky pig's nest.
Bi Fang looked for it, on the one hand to find medicinal herbs for further treatment, and on the other hand to collect food. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
[Don't mention it, I've already started to feel nauseated. 】
[From the Northeast, I went to school in Guizhou. Since my roommate invited me to eat it once, I never want to eat it again. It’s a simple fishy smell, and it’s the fishy smell of dead fish. 】
"Yes, for some people, this fishy smell will not only fill your mouth and nose, but also irritate your eyes: thus achieving a triple strike of taste, smell, and vision."
Bi Fang nodded: "But it's actually an allergic reaction, and the severity varies. It's mainly an allergy to something called houttuyniacin in the root of the ear."
In addition to being unpalatable to houttuyniacin, some people may also be directly allergic.
If you are slightly allergic, you will feel that you are just taking Chinese medicine, and there is no other feeling, just dry chewing medicinal materials.
But severe allergies, first of all, there is no appetite, severe discomfort, there will be nausea, nausea, retching and other symptoms.
"Houttuynia cordata grows in relatively shady and humid places, and it grows in large areas. It mostly grows by lakes, rivers, roadsides with stagnant water, wild fields or damp places in mountains.
There are many branches in the wild. If we are patient, it should not be difficult to find them. It is better to go downstream, because the probability is higher, because the downstream of the stream is more likely to encounter areas with slower water potential. "
Bi Fang was very purposeful, and took Leonardo all the way to search by the river. Houttuynia cordata was in the rainforest, just like reeds by the river, and they were all things that were very easy to find.
Therefore, the hard work pays off, and in less than half an hour, Bi Fang has harvested.
In the puddle at the corner, a green "water grass" spreads in it.
