Chapter 380 Leeks
"Wang Yong, what are you doing?"
Early the next morning, when Wang Yong was still in a daze, the mobile phone placed at the bedside suddenly rang, and as soon as Wang Yong picked it up without looking at it, he came from the microphone The annoying voice of the fat man.
"Damn, you dead fat man doesn't know that disturbing people's sleep is the first sin in the world! Hang up, let me sleep for an hour before you call. ”
Wang Yong was disturbed by the fat man's phone call at random, and muttered very dissatisfied.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm looking for you to get down to business. Prepare a little leeks for me you planted, and I'll go over to get them in a while, and you hurry up and tell the sentry at the entrance of the village, or I won't be able to enter. Or you can send it to me directly. ”
"The beauty you want? By the way, what do you kid want leeks for? Kidney deficiency? Don't you lift it? ”
"Get out! Are you kidney-deficient? Lao Tzu has all his sons, can he do that? ”
There is also a reason why Wang Yong said this. Leeks, also known as aphrodisiac grass, yang grass, long-lived leeks, lazy vegetables, flat vegetables, etc.
Leeks are perennial herbaceous plants of the lily family, with a very special strong smell, which makes those who like it very much, and those who don't like it to avoid it.
The leaves and flowers of leeks are edible, and the seeds can be used in medicine, which has the effect of strengthening the stomach, tonifying the kidney, stopping sweating and solidifying astringency.
Leeks are very adaptable, cold and heat resistant, and are cultivated all over the country. It can grow all year round in the warm and humid southern regions.
In the northern region, the temperature is low in winter, and although the aboveground part of the leek dies, the underground part enters hibernation, and in the next spring, after the spring flowers bloom, it will regain its vitality and sprout again.
Leeks are generally divided into root leeks and leaf leeks. Flower leek and leaf flower combination type.
As the name suggests, the root leek is the main edible leek root, which is widely cultivated in southwest China. The roots are thick and spicy, and can be pickled or boiled. Nowadays, many people in the southwest region like to use leek root as the base of hot pot, and it is said to be delicious.
Leeks are the most common, with broad, tender leaves, mainly edible leaf parts.
Flower leeks are harvested and eaten specifically on the part of leek flower sprouts, which are tall and thick. Similar to garlic sprouts, it has a beautiful taste and is the preferred variety for making zuò traditional cuisine leek flowers. Its leaves are generally not suitable for consumption because they are very hard.
Leeks with both leaves and flowers, leaves and flower sprouts can be edible, and it is the most widely planted type in China at present.
The history of leek cultivation in our country is also very long, and ancient books record that the ancient ancestors once took leeks as the best of sacrifices, comparable to lambs.
In the Han Dynasty. The palace has already begun to use greenhouses to produce leeks in winter.
Leeks are not only a delicious vegetable, but also known for their medicinal properties.
In many medical books in ancient China, there are records about leeks. And it describes in detail the various functions of leeks and the corresponding emergency use methods for diseases.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that leeks can occasionally tonify the kidneys. Warm and circulating, dissipating stasis, and detoxifying. The main kidney is deficient and impotence, and the cold and abdominal pain are cold. Hiccups and nausea, chest paralysis and pain, vomiting blood. Diuretic, for dysentery, hemorrhoids, carbuncle swelling and poison, lacquer sores, bruises, etc.
In the "Compendium of Materia Medica", there are many wonderful uses for leeks. For example, drinking raw juice, the Lord is out of breath, and the meat is detoxified. Boiling juice and drinking, quenching thirst, night sweats, smoking maternal blood vessels, washing intestinal hemorrhoids and prolapsing the anus.
It is recorded in the "Collection of Materia Medica" that the leaves and roots are pounded and twisted to serve it, antidote poison, cure the mad dog bite, and also kill snakes, scorpions, and evil insects.
In modern times, it has been proven by medical research that leeks are rich in vitamin C, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, niacin, carotene, urgent minerals and fiber, and are a good health food.
It can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, prevent colorectal cancer, reduce cholesterol absorption, and be able to prevent and treat arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, etc.
However, there are also taboos for eating leeks, and the "Compendium of Materia Medica" has recorded: "Leeks are dark when they eat more, especially after drinking."
Modern medicine also believes that leeks are not easy to eat, and people with impotence and fever are especially unsuitable for eating.
The origin of the name of the leek is very legendary, and it is said to be related to Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor.
Legend has it that when Liu Xiu was in trouble, he was exiled to a place, hungry and unbearable, and met an old man surnamed Yixia and entertained him warmly.
It's a pity that the owner's family is poor and has little food and no vegetables, so he had to cut some unknown wild vegetables and fry them at the back end for Liu Xiu to eat.
Liu Xiu ate three bowls in a row, felt that it was delicious, and hurriedly asked the host what kind of dish this was? I heard that there was no name yet, Liu Xiu pondered for a moment, and then said, since it is a nameless wild vegetable, it can be said that it saved my life today, so let's call it "save vegetables" in the future.
Later, Liu Xiu defeated Wang Mang and ascended the throne as emperor. Thinking of "saving vegetables", he also specially found Xia Laohan and named him "100 households" to specialize in planting this dish.
Later, it slowly evolved into today's leek.
There has always been a legend of the aphrodisiac of leeks, otherwise leeks would not have another name for aphrodisiac grass.
However, this is just a legend, and no one really thinks that eating leeks can be the same as taking Viagra, which is also unrealistic. At the same time, many modern doctors and experts do not agree with this statement.
"Let me tell you, it's not that I have kidney deficiency, it's a friend of mine, he has been frail and sickly since he was a child, he just got married, and he doesn't know moderation, but you understand. The doctor at the hospital told him that it was best to take this medicine with dietary therapy, and the effect was better. ”
"Oh, you don't really think that eating a few more catties of leeks will cure his illness, do you?"
Wang Yong doesn't believe in the statement of leeks aphrodisiac at all, if leeks really have this effect, then the people who love to eat leek-stuffed dumplings are not all macho men?
"What do you care about him, isn't it what the doctor ordered? If nothing else, it must have some effect, right? Do you have to eat leeks, just like taking Viagra and it will work immediately? Aren't your leeks lightning bolts? ”
"Okay, don't ink, there are some leeks in the field, you come and cut the field yourself, cut as much as you want, even dig the roots. It is said that the effect of leeks aphrodisiac can all be on the roots. ”
Wang Yong understood as soon as he heard the fat man's meaning, he just wanted to ask for psychological comfort, not that he thought that leeks could really play any role.
"Don't fool you, you're still a miracle doctor? I don't even understand this, I'm blinding you! Don't say that to others in the future, it will damage your reputation! ”
Wait for Wang Yong to get dressed and eat. As soon as he left his job, the fat man drove his bird of prey over with great noise.
It's not huge, it's not good, when you get there, these two special birds of prey are extremely eye-catching, and that's not an ordinary pull! Where is the head?
"I said, shouldn't you kid give me back the car? Anyway, since this car came into my hands, I haven't driven it a few times myself, and I was directly occupied by you. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you don't have a shortage of cars? Besides, this car doesn't deserve you, huh? ”
"And I'm not worthy?"
Wang Yong heard the fat man's words and immediately took up the ground, which frightened the fat man.
"Fuck that's me, okay? And I'm not worthy? Is that a match for you? ”
The fat man was not in a hurry, and stood up slowly. Standing beside Wang Yong, he said unhurriedly:
"Look at our body shape, our body? Look at you again, like a bean sprout, do you drive such a big car? Don't deserve it? You're right? ”
Wang Yong listened to a large number of fat people up and down, don't say it, this kid still has some sense.
As far as the size of the Raptor car, it is really not conspicuous at all when he goes up, but it is the fat man's fat pig of more than 240 pounds. It's a good fit.
When the fat man saw that Wang Yong stopped talking, he patted his chest triumphantly and gestured to Wang Yong.
That means, look at the size of our buddy. You have to drive such a big car to show that this car is extraordinary.
"Hey, no, this is my car, it's mine if it matches my size or not?"
"That's your fault. Let's two brothers, what's yours and mine? What's yours is mine, what's mine is mine. You're right? ”
"Oh yes! Don't play word games with me, boy, that's all the rest of my play. Hurry up, cut the leeks and get out quickly, don't dangle in front of me, I will be dizzy when I see you, I am flustered and depressed. I'm so! My car says I don't deserve to drive? ”
"Let's go, if your leeks really have a miraculous effect, I will definitely help you promote it, and then you will make a fortune again! Don't forget to thank me, you know? ”
"Do you want me to give you the car?"
Wang Yong glared at the fat man and said angrily, this fat man's skin is getting thicker and thicker, just like his weight, it has not lost at all!
The fat man quickly ran to the field to cut leeks, and left before he had time to say hello. Before leaving, he just called Wang Yong, saying that he kept half for himself, and he only cut half of the leeks, which is interesting enough, right?
If the fat man stood in front of Wang Yong, Wang Yong would definitely spit on him unceremoniously and not let him wipe it.
What's going on with this kid? Why is it getting more and more arrogant? Is it because I have a son? It seems that he has to think of something to give him a good look, otherwise, this bastard really doesn't know that Ma Wangye is three-eyed.
Soon, at noon the next day, Wang Yong's opportunity came.
Wang Yong's family is preparing to eat? I heard the arrogant voice of the fat man outside the door.
"Little prince, hurry up and pick it up!"
Wang Yong was angry when he heard it! Without thinking about it, he opened his mouth and shouted:
"I'm picking you up, a big-headed ghost? If you dare to come in, Lao Tzu will close the door and let the dog bite you! ”
"In this case, then I won't go in with your godson?"
The fat man appeared at the door of the living room proudly, followed by his daughter-in-law. Of course, the key is that they are still holding their son Liu Sheng in their arms, Wang Yong's godson.
Wang Yong, what did he care about the fat man at this time? Stood up, walked a few steps to the door, snatched the little guy in the fat man's arms, and entered the house with his arms.
Suddenly, this little guy attracted the attention of the whole family, and everyone got up and rushed over to hug this cute little baby who was waving his little hands with wide eyes and didn't recognize it at all.
The fat man and his daughter-in-law, Xiao Qiao, were not surprised, and went straight into the house. Especially the fat man, he sat directly at the dining table, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them.
"Hey, that fat man, say you, what's the matter with you? A little bit of customer consciousness, okay? ”
"Your leeks are going to be famous, wait to get rich!"
Everyone was stunned by this kid's sudden words? What does that mean? What does this mean?
"Leeks?" Wang Yong suddenly remembered,
"Are you saying that the leeks you cut yesterday really worked?"
Hearing Wang Yong ask, the fat man immediately stood up excitedly, waved the chopsticks in his hand and said loudly:
"Not effective, but very effective. No, it should be a miracle! (To be continued......)
