The four brothers and sisters Yang Yun and Li Dabao each carried a bamboo basket and set off towards the back mountain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At the foot of the back mountain, many tender green wild vegetables have just sprouted, and the spring herbs are already full of vitality. A few people also knew a lot of medicinal herbs from Dr. Xu, so the four of them collected medicinal herbs in several places.

There are not many medicinal herbs that can be collected in the back mountain now, such as parsnip, Yin Chen, horsehead orchid, and some dandelions. When Yang Yun was digging for medicinal herbs, she suddenly remembered that half a year ago, she had seen a piece of burdock cabbage in the middle of the mountainside, and March was the season to harvest, and she didn't know if the burdock was still there.

The rhizome of burdock can be made into burdock tea, and burdock tea has the effect of regulating blood lipids, replenishing blood and calcium, moisturizing the skin, detoxifying, beautifying and removing disease, and also has the effect of preventing cancer, which is very suitable for constipation, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and sub-healthy people. Before burdock was made into burdock tea, it was an ordinary wild vegetable that could be eaten. Many beauty products are extracted from the rhizomes of burdock to make skin care products that remove symptoms.

"Brother, come here, let's go halfway up the mountain to pick herbs."

"You can't go too high, now a lot of wild animals come out in the spring to find food, and the further you go up the mountain, the more dangerous it becomes."

"It's okay, let's not go very high, it's in the middle of the mountain, my sister often goes to that place with Xiao Xuan, so don't worry."

"Well, okay then." The two Yang Yun brothers and sisters approached halfway up the mountain, and Yang Yun took Yang Yong to the location of the burdock cabbage that he found half a year ago. When I arrived at the place where burdock cabbage grew, I saw a piece of burdock cabbage that was ripe and ready to be picked.

"Brother, you help your sister dig this burdock cabbage."

"Sister, is this a wild vegetable? I've never seen it, and the leaves are drying up, where can I dig them up and eat them. ”

"Stupid brother, this burdock cabbage is a vegetable and a herb, and the leaves on it can only be eaten as a vegetable in summer or autumn, and you can only dig up the rhizomes that grow in the ground in this season."

"Sister, you won't recognize herbs indiscriminately, if you dig up poisonous ones for a while, you will eat bad people."

"I won't recognize it, this burdock cabbage is written in the medicine book given by Grandpa Xu, let's dig it and show it to Grandpa Xu, don't you know if you can eat it, hurry up and help me dig it."

"Okay then." The brother and sister worked hard to dig up the burdock cabbage, and the rhizomes of the burdock cabbage stretched all the way to the ground, just like yams, and some of the rhizomes reached a depth of about a meter. In addition, the brother and sister did not bring tools today, only found a branch to dig burdock cabbage, which was really laborious, and only dug half a basket in one morning.

"Brother, why don't we bring tools to dig again in the afternoon, it's really hard to dig without tools, it's almost noon, let's send this half basket of burdock to Grandpa Xu first, Grandpa Xu sees that it's no problem, let's dig again."

"It's okay, if Grandpa Xu says it can't be eaten, our efforts will be in vain."

"Well, then let's call Brother Da Bao and they go home for dinner first."

Yang Yun called Brother Li Dabao, and the four of them first sent four baskets of herbs to Dr. Xu's house.

"Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu, we're here to send medicinal herbs."

"The four of you are going to dig up herbs today, take them and see what you have dug up." Doctor Xu heard Yang Yun's voice in the pharmacy and walked out, Yang Xuan followed him and also came out of the pharmacy, and as soon as he came out, he saw Yang Yun and the four of them carrying a bamboo basket on their backs. And Grandma Xu may not be at home, Yang Yun didn't see her. When spring came, Grandma Xu's illness was cured, and she was able to get out of bed and walk around.

The four of them took the bamboo baskets off their backs, and Dr. Xu rummaged through several bamboo baskets to confirm that they were all usable herbs, so he asked a few people to pour the herbs into the open space of the yard, and waited for the afternoon to slowly pick out the weeds in them.

"Grandpa Xu, come over and see what the herbs are in this basket." Just now, Yang Yun only handed three bamboo baskets of herbs to Dr. Xu to pick up, and the half basket of burdock was carried by Yang Yong, and Dr. Xu thought that the bamboo basket that Yang Yun did not hand over was the wild vegetables that Yang Yun and they dug and wanted to take home.

Dr. Xu bent down and rummaged through the half basket of burdock vegetables. After rummaging through it for a while, Dr. Xu took a root of burdock cabbage directly from the bamboo basket, wiped the mud on it with his hands, and then sprinkled the skin on the surface, and took the clean inner stem inside to his mouth and tasted it. Doctor Xu chewed carefully for a while, and opened his mouth to talk to Yang Yun about burdock vegetables.

"This is burdock cabbage, where did you dig this?"

"It's halfway up the back mountain, that place is quite partial, it was accidentally discovered by Xiao Yun digging wild vegetables, and I thought it was wild vegetables. Xiao Yun pulled out the roots, only to find that there were very long rhizomes inside, which were very similar to the rhizomes of the burdock cabbage drawn on the medicine book given by Grandpa Xu. So Xiao Yun guessed that this should be burdock cabbage, and I dug half a basket to recognize it for you today, to see if there is any mistake in digging. Grandpa Xu, this herb can be used, right? ”

At that time, in order to have an excuse to dig burdock vegetables, Yang Yun specifically told Dr. Xu to see the herbal medicine book with a picture album, and Dr. Xu gave Yang Yun two herbal books, Yang Yun finished the two books, and found a picture with the introduction of burdock in one of them, and there was a good excuse for digging burdock cabbage today.

"It can be used, of course it can be used, this is a good thing, burdock cabbage is also known as oriental ginseng, oriental bullwhip vegetables, it has a great effect, it has the effect of nourishing yin and aphrodisiac, strengthening the spleen and appetizing laxative, etc., and it has a whitening and freckle removal effect for women."

"Then Grandpa Xu, can't we make money by drying this burdock cabbage and selling it?"

"Haha, of course you can make money, Yun girl really wants to sell everything for money."

"If you make money, you can buy meat to eat." Yang Yun was also a little embarrassed about her open-mindedness when she saw money.

"Yes, if you make money, you can buy meat to eat." Yang Xuan heard that burdock vegetables could be sold to make money and buy meat to eat, so he hurriedly echoed on the side.

"Haha......" Several people laughed when they heard Yang Xuan's children's words, Yang Xuan really revealed his foodie nature.

"Grandpa Xu, do you know how to make this burdock dish?" Although Yang Yun has drunk burdock tea, she is not very clear about the production process.

"This is very simple, wash it and cut it into small pieces and steam it directly to dry, or just fry it in a pot and dry it, but you have to sell this for money, there are not many burdock vegetables in that place in the back mountain, if it is too little, it will not sell for much money."

"There is a piece on the back mountainside, Xiao Yun has not looked for it in other places, if Xiao Yun buys a piece of land to grow burdock vegetables, you say it's okay."

"Of course this is okay, it usually only takes about six months to plant it and it can be harvested, but your family didn't just buy six acres of land, and you still have money to buy other wasteland."

"Grandpa Xu, you really know Xiao Yun's family too well, you really don't have the money to buy any more land, and now six acres of wasteland plus Uncle Li's five acres of land really can't be planted. Xiao Yun will talk about this later. We don't take the burdock cabbage in the back mountain, and leave some burdock cabbage in the ground as seeds. ”

"A few of you will go and pick it, and when you come back, cover the bamboo basket with other common herbs, and then carry it to Grandpa Xu to make it, dry it, and then quietly take it to the town to sell." Doctor Xu is also thinking about Yang Yun and them, if the villagers know about it at that time, this business will be yellow again. (To be continued.) )
