Chapter 184: Wild Energy (Subscription Requested)
?? Chen Yang said with a smile: "Then you eat artificially planted Houttuynia cordata, and artificially planted Houttuynia cordata is generally only sold for rhizomes." The rhizomes of Houttuynia cordata are larger and sell better, but the taste is slightly lighter than that of wild Houttuynia cordata. Some people like to eat light, and some people like the wild one. β
"There are so many doorways? I thought the wild ones should be the same as the cultivated ones. "Tang Lifen doesn't know these things very well. All she knows is eating.
"Of course it's different. Chen Yang explained, "Everything, wild and artificially cultivated in large quantities, is different. Wild plants have the advantage of having a better taste and have the disadvantage of having more pests. The advantage of artificially grown food is that there are fewer pests, but the taste is naturally much worse. There are pros and cons anyway. β
"Then why does artificially grown food taste so much worse?" Tang Lifen asked.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer the question.
After all, they are all a bunch of big and coarse people, and they have no culture, how can they answer such a profound question.
Chen Yang continued: "Isn't it very simple? Wild plants grow in nature, their growth environment is completely suitable for them, and their growth cycle is completely subject to nature's arrangement, neither using fertilizer to increase their form, nor using potions to accelerate their growth, then the taste must be pure natural delicious." β
"Let's take the simplest example, the meat of a wild boar is better than the meat of a domestic pig, you see. β
Tang Lifen looked confused. In fact, she hadn't eaten real wild boar yet. Although there are wild boar meat on the market, however, I heard that the so-called wild boar meat is fake and not the real wild boar. Therefore, she really doesn't understand the simplest example given by Chen Yang.
Seeing that Tang Lifen still looked puzzled, Chen Yang couldn't help but scratch his head, and had a headache: "Then let me give you a simpler example, is the air in the mountains better than the air in the city?"
Tang Lifen nodded.
Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, food is the same, different environments can create different tastes." β
Tang Lifen nodded again: "Well, it makes sense, then I must taste what this wild Houttuynia cordata tastes like." β
She stretched out her chopsticks and grabbed a handful of Houttuynia cordata.
These Houttuynia cordata not only have yellow-white rhizomes, but also reddish-green leaves.
Everyone looked at her. After all, it's Houttuynia cordata.
To tell the truth, except for Chen Yang and the fourth child, two big perverts, there are really few people who like to eat Houttuynia cordata raw.
Houttuynia cordata has a fishy smell that is even fishier than freshly slaughtered fish. Moreover, the method of this dish is not to blanch the water with boiling water, not to cook it in a pot, but to wash it and cut it into sections, and then eat it directly cold.
Do you really use Houttuynia cordata as a cucumber?
Several grandparents looked at Teacher Tang and couldn't help frowning.
You say that if this great marriage is ruined by a dish, it will be famous for eternity.
Although, this so-called marriage is all their own passion, as long as they think of such a good-looking girl being disgusted by the smell of houttuynia and vomiting on the spot, several old people feel a little distressed.
"Oh, what's so delicious about this Houttuynia cordata, Mr. Tang, don't eat it, eat meat." The second grandmother said, and also sandwiched a large piece of chicken for Mr. Tang.
"That's right, Mr. Tang, this is the braised pork I made, you can taste it. The third grandmother sandwiched a piece of pork belly for Mr. Tang.
"And the egg dumplings I made, you haven't eaten them yet. "The fourth grandmother is not far behind.
This time and again, Mr. Tang's bowls are about to pile up into a hill.
And the Houttuynia cordata that I wanted to try was buried underneath these vegetables.
Tang Lifen saw that everyone was so enthusiastic and couldn't refuse, so she took out the chicken nuggets wrapped in a layer of golden chicken fat and almost the size of three fingers.
Then I ate a large piece of braised pork that was perfectly combined with soy sauce and shiny all over my body.
Finally, there is a bulging egg dumpling.
It tastes good, but people like her, who are not used to big fish and meat, suddenly eat so much greasy food, and her tongue is really a little uncomfortable.
However, now you can finally see the houttuynia in the bowl.
Although Houttuynia cordata has been stained with chicken fat and has a little soy sauce color, you can still smell a very strong fishy smell.
Strange to say, the fishy smell should be a very offensive taste, after all, when people cook, they always like to use various methods to remove the fishy smell from food.
However, the rich fishy smell of Houttuynia cordata was fresh to Tang Lifen at this moment.
It was as if what she smelled was not the fishy smell of Houttuynia cordata, but the sweetness of the mountain spring, the fragrance of the mountain mud, and the cool smell of the mountain breeze.
These smells merged into a fishy smell and poured into her nose, making her feel like she was in the deep forest in a trance.
She then drove her chopsticks and put the Houttuynia cordata in the bowl in her mouth.
I went, and the smell was even stronger.
This is definitely the fishiest food she has ever tasted, not one of them.
However, the strange thing is that when the prickly fishy smell ripples in the mouth, it is sweet, fragrant, and incomparable.
You'd be hard-pressed to find another food that compares to it.
Whether you've eaten chicken, braised pork or egg dumplings before, when Houttuynia cordata enters your mouth, the residual taste of those foods will disappear.
At this time, only the wild of Houttuynia cordata is left in the mouth.
It is as wild as an unreasonable mountain stream, rampaging in its mouth. It's as wild as a clump of overbearing grass, growing wildly in the taste buds. It is also wild like a wanton wind, and after it wants to fill the mouth, it curls its tongue, hits its taste buds, and then goes straight to the depths of the soul, making people never forget its wildness.
After eating wild Houttuynia cordata, who can forget that wild game?
Tang Lifen's eyes were soaked with this stream of game.
Seeing her like this, the little hearts of several old people all rose to their throats. It's too bad now, the marriage that hasn't been glimpsed is going to be completely finished. It is estimated that Mr. Tang will never come to Xiaoyang's house for dinner in the future. What kind of dish are you not good at preparing, this big idiot, why do you have to prepare that hard-to-swallow houttuynia cordata?
For the poor and scared old people, wild vegetables such as Houttuynia cordata are not beautiful. But for a girl like Tang Lifen, who has been very superior since she was a child, this wild game is very much like the self hidden in the depths of her soul, wanting to be savage and indulge.
She smiled with tears in her eyes, "Oh my God, it tastes fishy, a little spicy, but it's so enjoyable." β
The old people breathed a sigh of relief. Hey, Chen Yang, this stinky boy is really out of shit luck.
Chen Yang smiled: "What's the matter, I didn't lie to you, I just said, this wild houttuynia smells very strong." β
"Uh-huh. Tang Lifen nodded, and at the same time put a handful of houttuynia into her bowl, she said, "It's fishy, but it's also really delicious." β
"It's good to eat if you like it. "The fourth uncle was worried that his craftsmanship was not good, but he didn't expect that he could make the teacher from the city say that it was delicious. Hehe, this shows that he still has two hits.
The third aunt said, "Teacher Tang, although this houttuynia is delicious, you shouldn't eat too much." β
"Why?" Tang Lifen's mouth was already stuffed with Houttuynia cordata.
The third aunt said: "Houttuynia cordata is very cold, I'm afraid you will eat it and hurt your stomach." β
"No, it won't. Tang Lifen smiled, "I often eat cold vegetables, it's fine." β
"When I say cold, I don't mean cold salad. The third aunt said.
"What's that cool?"
The third aunt didn't know how to explain it. Anyway, the old people say that Houttuynia cordata is very cold, so you can't eat more.
At this time, Chen Yang still had to explain.
"Although Houttuynia cordata is delicious, it is not advisable to eat more, it doesn't matter if you eat a little bit to relieve oiliness, but if you eat more, you will indeed eat bad stomach. Especially you girls, your body is already negative, and it is easy to get bad if you eat such cold food. β
Although Houttuynia cordata is a delicacy given to humans by nature, perhaps nature has long been aware of human greed, so when creating the unique delicacy of Houttuynia cordata, it also gave Houttuynia cordata a talisman so that they will not be eaten and extinct by humans.
Anyone who has eaten Houttuynia cordata should know that the strong smell seems to condense the fishy smell of ten fish into one Houttuynia cordata, and the smell of carved laundry soap must be added.
If it's the first time to eat Houttuynia cordata, there will be many people who are not prepared for it with tears in their eyes.
But in the southwest area, the taste of Houttuynia cordata is like a big @?!?! hemp, although it is not good to eat more Houttuynia cordata, but people will always be unable to control the power of the flood in their bodies.
Some people say that with Houttuynia cordata, it doesn't matter if you eat meat or not, because with this dish, you can always pull at least two bowls of rice.
Moreover, Houttuynia cordata can not only be served cold, but also used to steam chicken, used to shabu shabu, and fried with local eggs.
However, despite the fact that Houttuynia cordata can make so many delicious flavors, in the eyes of some people, Houttuynia cordata is stinky.
Yes, it stinks, just like durian, people who love it are willing to give up all the fruits for it, and people who don't love it want to vomit when they smell it.
Be that as it may, the great Chinese people have been eating this perverted and lovely food for a long time.
The earliest record of eating Houttuynia cordata appeared in: King Yue from the taste of feces evil, then sick bad breath.
What is said here is that Goujian, the king of Yue, has suffered from bad breath since he ate Wu Wangfucha's feces, and then Fan Li, who is known as the last man on the bed of Xi Shi, the originator of the Taoist businessman, in order to pat Goujian's sycophants, let his colleagues around him eat the extremely ugly Houttuynia cordata.
Houttuynia cordata is also known as cen cabbage, stinky buckwheat, bracken, and of course, it also has a well-known name - origami root.
The truth of this story of Fan Li's sycophant is unknown, but from this story, we can learn two truths about Houttuynia cordata: First: The ancients did eat Houttuynia cordata for a long time. 2: Houttuynia cordata has been known for its 'smell' since ancient times.
It is recorded in the "Certificate Class Materia Medica": Tang Benzhuyun: Shannan and Jiangzuo people are good at raw food, and Guanzhong is called a cabbage. Guanzhong and Shannan connect Chongqing and Hubei in the south of Shaanxi, while Jiangzuo mainly refers to the area of present-day Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Guanzhong called Houttuynia cordata, Shannan and Jiangzuo people like to eat it raw.
Later Wei's "Qi Min Yaoshu" specifically introduced the 'Fen Method', which is the practice of Houttuynia cordata: after washing and burning Houttuynia cordata, eat it with salt and green onions.
In the past, although Houttuynia cordata was famous for its smell, in general, it was still a popular idol for some people.
However, around the Southern Dynasties, Houttuynia cordata's acting career ushered in a crisis.
Although many people now think that Houttuynia cordata has the health effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, retrospectively, traditional medicine once considered excessive consumption of Houttuynia cordata to be harmful.
Tao Hongjing, a famous doctor in the Southern Dynasty, mentioned in the "Famous Doctor's Directory" that bracken grass will make people asthma if you eat too much, and classify it as an inferior drug.
If there is only this case in history that Houttuynia cordata is harmful to the human body, then we can think that Tao Hongjing can't stand the people around him who love to eat Houttuynia cordata raw, so he deliberately damages the reputation of Houttuynia cordata.
However, this is not the only case of Houttuynia cordata causing disease. The Tang Dynasty physician Sun Simiao's "Preparation for Emergencies" and the Song Dynasty's "Zheng Class Materia Medica" also have similar records, believing that Houttuynia cordata should not be eaten too much, and eating too much will cause 'weakness, damage yang qi, and eliminate essence', which will lead to beriberi, especially harmful to children.
The beriberi referred to here is not what is known as 'foot odor'. The ancients believed that this disease was caused by rheumatism from the feet into the body, hence the name 'beriberi'.
Some people may wonder why this Houttuynia cordata is obviously unique, unique, and not in the same league with those mundane things that capture the public with its bewitching and sweet taste, so why is it so special that it is charged with 'hurting the body'?
In fact, this is mainly because the growing environment of Houttuynia cordata is too 'dark'.
When the ancients saw that Houttuynia cordata mostly grew in cool and humid places, they felt that Houttuynia cordata belonged to the 'negative', and eating too much of it would cause wind and cold to enter the body.
Thus, poor Houttuynia cordata was squeezed out like this.
But fortunately, traditional medicine does not agree on Houttuynia cordata, but each has its own naΓ―ve ideas.
There is no consensus within traditional medicine as to whether Houttuynia cordata is a disease or a cure.
Later people thought, since Houttuynia cordata is cold and will make people cold into the body, then it can not be used to treat 'heat' diseases? Traditional medicine believes that human hemorrhoids are caused by the accumulation of damp heat in the intestines. Nima, isn't this exactly Houttuynia cordata's specialty? So, after they agreed, they happily distributed Houttuynia cordata to treat hemorrhoids.
Yes, a delicacy, ran to treat the ass.
The Yuan Dynasty's medical technique "World Medical Prescription" recorded the method of treating hemorrhoids with Houttuynia cordata: mash Houttuynia cordata into mud and apply it to the affected area of hemorrhoids, and then use a red-hot brick...... Make up that picture in your own head.
I don't know if Houttuynia cordata is effective in treating hemorrhoids, but I don't think that the red-hot bricks on the buttocks must not be something ordinary people can bear.
The idea of using Houttuynia cordata to treat hemorrhoids has been preserved, and there are still similar records in the "Medicine Genus" of the "Nanping County Chronicles" of the Qing Dynasty.
From being disliked by others to finally gaining a firm foothold in the field of hemorrhoids, Houttuynia cordata can be said to have gone through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties.
Houttuynia cordata is a very combative idol, after gaining a firm foothold in the medicinal herbs, it is not satisfied, and wants to cross-border interpretation, so, through a famine, it successfully landed on the human table.
When the famine struck, the hungry people could not care about the smell and pathogenicity of this hemorrhoids medicine, and under the impetus of their stomachs, people began to dig up Houttuynia cordata growing in the gutter and serve it to the table.
"Shaoxing Mansion Chronicles" once recorded the folk proverb of "bad smell in good years, save Laier in famine years".
Regardless of whether Houttuynia cordata can cause disease, cause beriberi, or be used to treat hemorrhoids and other indecent theories, it is a hero for the Chinese people after all.
In the barren years, the crude fiber in its body helped people fight hunger, which is not insignificant.
In modern times, people still have different opinions about Houttuynia cordata, but no matter what, everything should be done in moderation.
Although Houttuynia cordata is a great attraction to modern people who are not hungry and full of fat, it is okay to eat it in moderation, and if you eat more, you will not get beriberi, but it will definitely hurt your stomach.
??β Where did you learn about this?" Tang Lifen suddenly looked at Chen Yang with admiration.
When I first saw this person, I thought he was just an ordinary farmer with no characteristics, but as I got in touch, I found that this person was actually quite cute.

[Today is my birthday, there are no gifts, no cakes, and no one even says blessings to me......
So I said to myself, Happy Birthday.
In addition, I also wish the alliance leader a happy birthday. γ
