In the apricot blossom forest, the light and shadow are mottled, falling on Ni Chuan and Yingxue, like jewels on their light plain gauze dresses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ying Xue would tiptoe to pick a flower from the tree, and then bend down and lower her head to pick up one from the ground, and put it all in a small basket like a lotus canopy. In a few moments, her basket was almost full.

Yingxue turned back proudly and said, "Sister Nichuan, look at my basket ......"

At this time, she realized that there was not a single flower in Nichuan's basket at all, and all kinds of strange weeds were placed.

Ying Xue walked over, flicked the grass with her hand, and asked strangely, "Sister, what are you doing with so much grass?" Is this grass pretty? ”

Ni Chuan winked at her mysteriously: "It's not good-looking, but it's useful and delicious!" ”

"Delicious?" Ying Xue was interested when she heard this, and pestered Ni Chuan and said, "Sister, sister, tell me quickly, which one is delicious?" ”

Ni Chuan was so entangled by her that he had no choice but to carry the basket to a big stone and sit down, put the small basket on his lap, and explained to her carefully: "You see, the edges of this leaf are like water ripples, and some undulating grass is called Yongcai, and the juice of this grass is very thick. Collect the juice of this grass and add the right amount of brine to make green tofu! ”

Ying Xue opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Grass can also make tofu, the first time I heard about it!" ”

Ni Chuan then took out a small round leaf and opened a yellow flower grass the size of a grain of rice and said: "This kind of grass is called cassia grass, which has the effect of clearing the heart and eyes and removing dizziness." Cassia grass is the best in spring, and it can be picked to cook tea, or fried with honey as a dish. ”

"Fry it with honey, it must taste good!" Ying Xue said with interest.

Seeing that she was very interested, Ni Chuan took out another piece of grass like a young bamboo branch and said, "Do you recognize this?" ”

Ying Xue naturally shook her head.

"This grass is called Purple South Star." Ni Chuan said: "This herb can be mashed to make five-flavor cakes, or boiled with chili peppers to make a sauce, which has a special fragrance and can also clean teeth." ”

Ying Xue listened, with a look of admiration: "Sister Nichuan, you are amazing, how do you know so much?" ”

Ni Chuan said disappreciably: "What is this, I traveled with my father and brother in the Western Regions back then, and I saw a lot of things...... By the way, you just found a special, amazing grass, do you want to know what it is? ”

As soon as Ying Xue heard Ni Chuan's pretentious tone, she had already whetted her appetite. She asked anxiously, "Sister, what is it soon?" ”

Ni Chuan pulled out an inconspicuous, very ordinary grass from under the basket, and if there was anything special, it was that the edges of the blades of this grass exuded a light purple.

Ni Chuan didn't introduce the name of the grass this time, but just pulled off a leaf and handed it to Ying Xue's mouth: "You taste it!" ”

Yingxue was afraid that Ni Chuan would play tricks on her, so she took the leaves and didn't dare to put them in her mouth.

Ni Chuan looked at it, smiled heartily, and simply took a leaf and put it in his mouth first.

Seeing that Ni Chuan had eaten it, Ying Xue put the leaves in her mouth with confidence. It doesn't matter if she chews it, Ying Xue only felt that there were fireworks blooming in front of her, and the sun, moon and stars became shining. Her eyes sparkled and she said, "It's so delicious, it's so delicious, I've never eaten anything so delicious!" Quick, quick, sister give me another slice! ”

Ni Chuan pursed his lips and handed her another leaf, and Yingxue couldn't wait to put it in his mouth again. Strangely, eating the same leaf this time is like biting an ordinary leaf, and the taste is sour and astringent.

Yingxue looked at Ni Chuan in disbelief, she took the whole grass from Ni Chuan's hand, and personally took one leaf after another and put it in her mouth, but the result was the same, the taste was the same as chewing wax!

She could only spit out all the leaves that had been stuffed in her mouthful.

"Sister, what spell did you cast? Why do the leaves of the same grass taste so different? Yingxue, who had picked all the leaves, said with some frustration.

Seeing that her sad face was almost in tears, Ni Chuan hurriedly held her shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly." I don't know what strange things are in the juice of this grass, and it probably makes people feel psychedelic feelings, so the first time you eat this grass, you will find it indescribably delicious. But there is very little psychedelic in this grass, and the time to produce the effect is very short, that is, in an instant, after which the blade of grass regains its true taste - sour and astringent. ”

"How can there be such grass in the world?" Ying Xue was still a little incredulous: "I have also seen a lot of strange flowers and trees in the palace, why have I never heard of this kind of grass?" ”

Ni Chuan grinned: "Little princess, all you see in the palace are precious flowers and trees, how can this grass appear in the palace garden?" Speaking of which, this grass does not even have an official name, only the name given by the people according to its own characteristics - 'deceit'! ”

"'Trick once'?" Ying Xue muttered, "How can there be such a name in the world? ”

"What's wrong with that name?" Ni Chuan said disapprerovingly: "I think this name is quite appropriate!" This kind of grass can only deceive people once, so it is called 'deceiving once'! ”

Seeing that Yingxue still didn't believe it, Ni Chuan gushed out: "You grew up in the deep palace since you were a child, and you rarely go out. Even if you go out of the palace gate, you will go around Luoyang City, how do you know that the grass grows in this wilderness? When people see all kinds of grasses with strange functions, they will give them catchy and apt names, such as 'rabbit sorrow', 'dogtail grass'......"

"What is the rabbit sorrow?" Ying Xue asked with a confused expression.

"Rabbit sorrow is a kind of low grass, but unfortunately the branches are full of thorns, even if the rabbit is hungry, it can't eat in the stomach, it can only be called 'rabbit sorrow'!" Nicheon Road.

Hearing this, Ying Xue couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, the grandmother who served them finally rushed over. The two grandmothers said breathlessly: "Two little ancestors! What else is there to say about 'rabbit sorrow' here! According to the old slave, you two are really 'rabbit sorrow', because rabbits can't catch up with you. You are like stepping on Hot Wheels, and you will disappear in the blink of an eye, so that the old slave is easy to find! ”

Complaining and complaining, the grandmothers still came over, carefully arranged the dresses for Yingxue and Nichuan, and then held their hands to carefully check them, for fear that the princess and the county lord would be scratched by the blades of grass.

After the inspection, it was finally all right, and the grandmothers were relieved, took the hands of the two girls and said, "Little ancestors, the queen is about to pass the meal, go back quickly." If the queen finds out that you are late, it is not a joke. ”
