082 Big Tongue Tricks
082 big tongue tricks
Li Banxia asked Tian Tian to wait, and ran into his small room where he stacked herbs in three or two.
Liu Yinqiao pursed her lips, shouldn't she burn her precious herbs? Those are all used to sell for money, and if grandma knew about it, she would definitely have to talk about her again.
Forget it, let's take it slowly~~
Liu Yinqiao didn't wait for her, she just thought about lighting the fire quickly, so that she would save her trouble.
Originally, there was a little flint under the pot, and even if it didn't burn when it was blowing, it would still have a little spark. It's good now, after a while, the flint has been burned, not to mention the fire, and even the sparks are very few.
Liu Yinqiao sat behind the stove dejectedly, staring at the bottom of the dark pot and worried.
"Bell bell ~~~" Li Banxia held a ball in his hand and appeared in front of Liu Yinqiao.
"What is this?" Liu Yinqiao asked, pointing to the mass of things.
"Ai Ye!"
"What's the use?"
"Burn the fire!" Li Banxia squeezed Liu Yinqiao into it and sat in her place. He began to pull out two sun-dried mugwort leaves and put them under the pot.
Then put two slightly thinner firewood sticks on top of the mugwort leaves, poke a hollow hole under the tongs with tongs, and then light the fire.
Liu Yinqiao hurriedly grabbed her: "This can't be burned, can't be burned~~"
Li Banxia was stunned, "Why can't you burn it?" He raised a handful of sun-dried mugwort leaves and asked her suspiciously.
"Isn't this the herb you picked back? Grandma said that the things you put in the small house are all valuable things that are sold for money, and we are usually not allowed to touch them. "Do you think she didn't think these things could make a fire? The last time she couldn't catch fire, she wanted to take out a little to start the fire, but before she could get out of the house, she was bumped into by her grandmother.
Grandma scolded her and said that she couldn't fight those herbs in the future.
Tian Tian didn't understand. Obviously, grandma used to hate these things piled up in large piles at home, and they took up space. But now, it's even more precious than the big tongue himself.
Others don't say that she also knows that it must be the big tongue who has earned a lot of money selling herbs to come back, and grandma feels that these things that occupy space are a treasure.
Li Banxia was a little surprised, these things can be sold for some money and can cure diseases, but they don't need to care too much. After all, these things are available on the mountain, but it will take more time to pick them up.
Especially the thing she was holding in her hand was not a valuable thing. If. If you think about it from the point of view that scarcity is expensive.
Li Banxia brought the things in his hand closer to Liu Yinqiao's eyes, "Take a closer look, do you know?" ”
Liu Yinqiao pulled his small hand. Sure enough, it felt familiar. Looking at the small group on the ground again, I was more and more sure of what I was thinking. "Isn't this Artemisia?!"
"That's right, it's Artemisia!" Li Banxia didn't want anything else, so he stuffed the artemisia seeds, that is, mugwort leaves, under the pot and lit a fire. As soon as the flames came into contact with those mugwort leaves. Immediately burst into flames.
After a while, the firewood on top of the pot was also burning. Liu Yinqiao was stunned, hurriedly squatted down, grabbed a few handfuls of firewood from behind and added them up.
Li Banxia laughed and pulled her up from the ground, "Burn the fire, just burn the fire." It's okay to sit and burn, why do you have to kneel on the ground? ”
There are many children who are not used to sitting on stools when they make a fire and cook. knelt behind the stove, and if people asked her, they would say that it was convenient to make a fire. Every time I come out, there is always a little flower-faced cat in the house.
Liu Yinqiao was just pulled up, and it didn't take two hits. Knelt down again, "I'm not used to it~~"
Li Banxia can only rely on her. It's really hard to change such a habit.
The fire under the pot was very large, and the mugwort leaves burned violently, making a crackling sound. As soon as the big firewood touched the burning mugwort leaves, they also quickly ignited, and the fire under the pot was very big and big for a while.
Liu Yinqiao was a little surprised, "What kind of herb is this, it burns so badly!" ”
She had thought that this herb would be the same thing as the thatch outside when it was dried, and that it would only last for a little while.
But the mass of mugwort leaves she held out had been burning for a long time, and it hadn't burned out, and the fire was still very powerful. You know, she boiled water this afternoon but burned a stomach complaint, the flames are weak and small, giving people the feeling that they will be extinguished if they accidentally move a little bigger. I didn't expect it to become so easy in her hands.
Liu Yinqiao looked at Li Banxia with a hint of children's admiration in her eyes, and always felt that when something came to her, it became very easy.
Li Banxia was stuffing the fire under the pot and didn't notice Liu Yinqiao's appearance.
When the fire was almost plugged, he sat on the bench and blew a breath.
It was hot, muggy, and she had just sat behind the stove for a while when she felt the heat rushing to her face. This little girl has been sitting for a long time, and she is still at a loss. If it were other children, they would have been unhappy a long time ago.
"Is it okay to take artemisia seeds to make a fire?" It's a pleasure to be on fire at this time, but if you bump into your grandmother for a while, you have to be talked about by her again.
Li Banxia saw that the child was talking about this just now, and remembered that she mentioned the matter of the Ma family, and the thought flashed to know what she was worried about.
Rubbing the little girl's head, Tian Tian mummmmmm Well~~ That's it, next time I go up the mountain to pick herbs, I'll take you with me~~ When the time comes, I'll open the way in front, and you will follow behind with the medicine basket on your back, and I'll pick a little and put it in your basket until you can't move it......"
Tian Tian didn't speak, just looked at her with a small mouth. It seems to be accusing Li Banxia, an adult, of bullying her as a child.
Li Banxia laughed, this little girl is really interesting.
Liu Yinqiao picked up a mugwort leaf, pointed to the dry and bouncing thing, and asked suspiciously: "You picked herbs, why did you pick this thing back, isn't this thing used to feed pigs on weekdays?" "Even if you feed the pigs, the pigs don't think the artemisia tastes weird and are too lazy to eat it.
Li Banxia took the mugwort in her hand and nodded: "Tiantian, do you know that many inconspicuous things that can be called weeds in your eyes are life-saving medicine in some cases." A small hibiscus leaf can cool the blood and detoxify, disinfect and relieve pain. A piece of soil vitex bark can kill insects and relieve itching. The mulberry branch you usually see is just that kind of stick, which can also treat rheumatism and paralysis and is conducive to edema. ”
"So, don't ignore these inconspicuous little things around you, it may be able to save your life and relieve your pain at a critical moment."
Tian Tian didn't make a sound, and from her serious eyebrows and attentive eyes, it could be seen that she was listening very seriously.
"And what about this artemisia, what's so powerful?" Tian Tian's gaze shifted to Na and Ai Ye again, and she still couldn't imagine what the magic of this thing that could pick and pick every frame on the road.
"Well, there's a lot more to it." Li Banxia said meaningfully.
"First of all, this mugwort leaf can be used to smoke insects to prevent moisture. In the weather when there are many mosquitoes, you can light a mugwort leaf, and the mosquitoes will avoid it when they smell it~~"
"Mosquitoes are still afraid of this thing?" Tiantian's eyes moved for a moment, and she gave way back, a little incredulous.
"Not only mosquitoes, but other small insects are also afraid of the smell of mugwort leaves."
Tian Tian shook her head, still unable to believe it. "So, at night, before you go to bed, I'll smoke your room, and you can see if the mosquitoes will get better at night." In this era, there were not as light mosquito nets as in modern times, they were all made of old linen, heavy and hot. I blocked a little mosquito, and I was so hot in the tent that I was dead.
But the people who have mosquito nets here are still like a miracle, and everyone is envious. When the women talked, they liked to touch her tent, saying that it was so well done that there must be no mosquitoes biting people at night.
However, only those who put up the tent will know the taste.
Tian Tian nodded and said yes, she still hoped that what she said was true, this artemisia can really repel mosquitoes. You know, she was almost bitten to death by mosquitoes every night when she slept. Although it is not to the extent of slapping a dozen mosquitoes to death, it is really not a human thing to sleep tightly every night on this hot day!
"This second one, mugwort leaves are used to soak their feet, but the effect is first-class, it can dispel false fire, cold fire, and related diseases. For example, if you have a sore throat and discomfort in your head and face, you can soak your feet in mugwort leaves, and the uncomfortable feeling will be significantly improved after soaking, and it may disappear. ”
Tian Tian stared at her feet, as if imagining what it would be like to soak her feet in mugwort leaves.
"The third one is in terms of eating."
"Huh? Can people eat this stuff too? "It's not that pigs don't want to eat it.
"You're wrong, mugwort leaf cakes, hen mugwort leaf soup, mugwort leaf meat balls, mugwort leaf dumplings, ginger mugwort eggs, but they are all made of this material." Li Banxia said that one by one, he could count a lot, this was just a few casual things that could be remembered in his mind for a while.
Tian Tian swallowed her saliva, and looked at Li Banxia in a daze like a little fool.
Li Banxia smiled, this kid, as for it! Artemisia leaves are naturally unpalatable when eaten raw, and they feel uncomfortable when they take a bite, but if you master the relevant cooking methods and combine them with other ingredients, the taste is still quite delicious.
As for the last and most important use of Ai Ye, Li Banxia looked at Tiantian, this child is still young, will she be embarrassed to say those words to her?
When she was her age when she was a child, she could blush for a long time when people said a word to her.
Looking at Tiantian's ignorant little fool, Li Banxia sighed, forget it!
Let's talk about this later.
