Chapter 25: Waist Soup (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
I remember when I was a child, my grandfather once told him that the rhizome of a plant in the mountains has a good effect of blood and swelling, muscle building and pain relief, renewing tendons and bones, tonifying the liver and kidneys, strengthening the waist and knees, and stabilizing the fetus.
So he came into the mountains today to find the plant, dig up its rhizomes, and take it home for his father to eat.
Of course, he didn't tell anyone about it. It's not that I want to surprise my dad or anything, but I think that my dad is the kind of person who likes to go against him, and if he does, he probably has to say a lot of cool things.
After wandering in the mountains for a while, Liu Qingshan quickly found the plant in his memoryβit was a few Sichuan trees that grew on the side of the road.
The root of the Sichuan Interrupted Break is the famous Chinese medicine Chuan Interrupted. Chuan Duan is also called Chuan Duan or Chuan Dan.
The Sichuan interrupts are mainly distributed in the two lakes and Guangzhous of China, as well as Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan XC and other places, and most of them grow freely on the edge of ditches, grasses, woodland edges and field roads.
Although the root of the Sichuan Interrupted Chuan can be used in medicine, its small flowers are also very cute in the eyes of people who do not use it for medicinal purposes.
Some people in the mountains will pinch off the cute little white flowers and take them home to soak in water to drink, saying that it has the effect of relieving asthma, removing phlegm, clearing the liver and brightening the purpose.
However, although Liu Qingshan is a big man, he actually likes flowers and plants. Even if he used to live in poverty, as long as he saw those free-growing flowers in the suburbs of the mountains, he would fall into tranquility.
This is probably the force of nature.
So far, he has really never picked the small flowers of Sichuan and brought them back to make tea, so he doesn't know whether the effect of that medicine is true or not.
Although there is no demonic color and no unconventional posture, it is relatively easy to identify.
In general, it has only one main rod, and then the main rod branches, and after the branching, the main rod is still the main rod, and the branches are still branches, and it will not be divided into primary and secondary like other plants.
Its branches, after pulling their straight body from the main stem, will branch like the main stem, dividing smaller branches, and finally forming a broad stem network.
And at the top of these primary and secondary branches, almost always a flower grows. Each flower usually blooms for about two weeks, and after two weeks, it slowly turns into a magical and symmetrical spherical seed head.
Liu Qingshan looked at a few small plants on the side of the road, and after confirming that they were the Sichuan Interrupt, he began to dig up their roots with a hoe.
Just as he was digging hard, a voice suddenly came into his ears: "Liu Qingshan, what are you doing?"
Liu Qingshan smiled evilly at the male protagonist in the novel, hooked the corners of his mouth, and then looked back at the person who spoke, and immediately changed his face, and said in the mentally retarded tone of the president of the iceberg: "Don't you see? β
The man rolled his eyes: "I know you're digging something, but the question is, what are you digging this river for?
"Bah, you've only broken your leg, you haven't seen you in a few years, why haven't you grown at all? Liu Qingshan stood up and patted the chicken coop in front of him with his dirty hands.
That long black hair was really a chicken nest, and there was a dead bee on it.
"Oops, your hands are dirty. β
"I don't hate you for having dirty hair. Liu Qingshan picked up the dead bee from her hair, held it up in front of the girl with a disgusted expression, and exclaimed incredulously, "Oh my God, Chen Xiaofang, are you a woman? Are you a woman? Look at it, look at what this is? You still have the corpse of a bee in your hair, you are too ....... Tsk tsk. β
The way you talk and shake your head is really annoying.
Chen Xiaofang slapped his hand away: "You're not the same, look at you covered in mud, just like a buffalo that just crawled out of the mud pond, dirty and smelly, what qualifications do you have to say about me." β
"I can't talk about you anymore. Liu Qingshan raised his hand and was about to pinch Chen Xiaofang's ear, but when his hand reached mid-air, he suddenly took it back.
Because he suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Xiaofang, who was wearing slightly small clothes, it seemed that he was no longer the crybaby he used to be.
She seems to be a 'big' girl.
Liu Qingshan's old face turned red, and he immediately turned around and continued to dig his own things.
Chen Xiaofang originally wanted to kick him away, but was confused by his inexplicable move.
She stepped forward slightly to look at the soil on the roots of Liu Qingshan, and asked, "Liu Qingshan, why did you come back so early this year, are you going to get married?"
"Why are you so gossipy, I haven't asked you why you came here. β
"This mountain is not your home, why can't I come? β
"You can come, you can come. Liu Qingshan stood up, carrying a hoe in one hand and the broken roots of Sichuan in the other, looked at Chen Xiaofang who was holding the chicken coop and said, "Then you are busy with yours, I will go back first." β
"Are you going back now?" Chen Xiaofang wondered, "Aren't you digging bamboo shoots today?"
"Don't dig anymore. Liu Qingshan shook the grass roots in his hand, "See, my dad has a pain in his waist, I have to go home and make soup for him." β
After that, Liu Qingshan is gone!
Let's go.
Chen Xiaofang was left standing in place with a confused face, watching Liu Qingshan's back, and then stomped his feet with some annoyance.
After Liu Qingshan returned home, he asked his mother to deal with Chuanduan, and he went to the town to buy materials.
He plans to make Chuan Broken Walnut Oxtail Soup for his father.
However, in such a small place, walnuts are easy to buy, but oxtails are hard to find, so in the end, only one pig's tail was bought.
Oxtail has a high nutritional value, not only rich in protein, but also has a good conditioning effect on the body's waist and knee soreness and weakness, as well as anemia and dizziness.
Although the nutritional value of pig tail is not as good as that of ox tail, it also has the effect of tonifying waist strength and benefiting bone marrow. Therefore, the pig's tail can replace the cow's tail.
But my parents didn't understand this, and they all felt strange when they saw him buy these things and come back.
Especially after Liu Yuanhe heard that his son was going to make soup for himself to replenish his waist and knees, he couldn't understand it.
He stood aside, stared at his son, who was already blanching the pig's tail, and said, "Qingshan, where did you get the home remedies, don't eat me down then." β
Liu Qingshan was speechless: "This is your old man's method, he said, the grandfather also had back pain back then, so he drank this soup slowly." β
"When did he say it, why don't I know?" Liu Yuanhe narrowed his eyes slightly and recalled carefully, he could only remember the appearance of the old man and the appearance of the old man pulling himself with a bamboo stick, and the rest, I really don't remember anything.
"He's said a lot of things, but you didn't memorize them. Liu Qingshan was very helpless. If Dad had gotten Grandpa's true inheritance, the family would probably not have been so difficult.
It's a pity that this dad can only do rough work, and his head is like a stone that can't open his mind. So grandpa's biggest regret before his death was to give birth to such a son.
Chop the pig's tail into sections, wash the Sichuan and walnut meat, and put them all into the pot with an appropriate amount of water to boil. After boiling over high heat, simmer slowly over low heat, and after two or three hours, add a little salt to taste, and this medicinal soup to nourish the waist and knees is ready.
The Sichuan taste is bitter, sweet and spicy, slightly warm, and the function is to nourish the liver and kidneys, and strengthen the muscles and bones. Contains intermittent alkali, volatile oil, vitamin E, etc.
The kernel is sweet and warm in taste, and the function is to nourish the kidney and benefit the essence.
Pig tail has a sweet and flat taste, and its functions are good for qi and blood, strong muscles and bones, and tonifying the kidneys.
These three things are combined into a soup, which plays a role in nourishing the kidneys and nourishing the blood, and strengthening the waist and knees.
If you keep taking it continuously, maybe your dad will be able to pick up a hundred pounds of weight.
Liu Qingshan took a big bowl and handed it to his father, urging him to drink it.
Liu Yuanhe stared at the white smoke of the broth, and looked at his son with suspicion: "Are you planning to burn your father to death?"
"Then you mean, I'll cook it for you, and I'll have to help you cool it?"
"Give. Liu Yuanhe handed the soup to his son, "Just blow it to 30 degrees." β
"Love to drink or not, don't drink and pull down. Liu Qingshan didn't stretch out his hand at all, and went out with a word.
Dad has a back pain, this work of feeding chickens and ducks is done by my mother, but he has to clean the yard and clean up the chicken coop.
Looking at her son who was busy outside, the mother pushed Liu Yuanhe and said with a smile: "See, Qingshan's mouth is hard, but his heart is soft." β
"Hmph, if he had a hard heart, he wouldn't be my son. β
"Smack!" the old mother slapped him on the shoulder, almost knocking over the soup, "What do you mean by that? Do you still suspect me of stealing people? Do you think everyone is like you? If you are not indiscreet, you think that others are not indiscriminate?"
Liu Yuanhe looked at his wife with a messy face: "I didn't mean that. β
"That's what you mean. Do you think that if you say that, I will forgive you for talking to those women last night about those inconsistencies in mountain songs? Look at you, your waist is broken like this, and you still don't change your life, and you still call people to talk to people about mountain songs, can you bear it? β
"She called me and asked me how to sing an old mountain song. β
"Oh, you have the ability, there are so many men in the whole village, she doesn't call for advice, she will call you, you really think of yourself as a song fairy, you look at your ghostly appearance, your hair is gray, and you still think about those indiscriminate things. Sooner or later, you'll have to die under the crotch of those women. β
Liu Yuanhe deeply felt that a woman was really an unreasonable creature.
Liu Qingshan listened to his mother count down his father, and couldn't help but gloat: "Mom, I said that I can't give him a new mobile phone, if he has a new mobile phone and learns to surf the Internet, then he will definitely sing with those women on the Internet every day, and he will not stop for a moment." β
Hee-hee!
The mother felt that what her son said made sense: "Yes, you are not allowed to change his mobile phone." β
When Liu Qingshan heard this, he grinned proudly, and then hurriedly ran to the chicken coop while his father didn't come back to his senses.
