Chapter 29: The Discovery of Medicinal Herbs
In the early afternoon, Dol began to study intermediate ingredients.
Some of the mid-level ingredients are upgraded versions of low-grade plants, and these alien plants have increased in level due to being in the energy-rich mid-level area, but they are still the same species in the end.
For example, the upgraded redhead grass, sour fruit, blazing flower, shallot, tartar, tree mushroom, etc. There's nothing to study about these, so they're all handed over to Ah He to sort out, clean them, and put them in the warehouse of the space for later use.
Duo'er deliberately found the medicinal materials recorded in the ancient books, such as fire ginseng, fire lingzhi and fire lotus.
"Wuwei, do you say that the efficacy and use of these medicinal materials are the same as those recorded in ancient books?" Duo'er picked up a fire ginseng and carefully observed their shape, while probing with the wood elemental and the earth elemental respectively.
"The origin is the same, and the effect is the same." Wuwei is also observing a fire ginseng plant in space.
The ginseng in Duo'er's hand is fiery red spindle-shaped, the flesh is plump, the fibrous roots are slender, and the ginseng has been aged for hundreds of years, and the humanoid characteristics are obvious.
The results of the exploration with the wood element show that it is vigorous.
Using the fire element, it was found that the fire energy was pure and immaculate, but it was peaceful and gentle. It is very different from the fiery and active energy of other fire-based plants, and it cannot be rated by the grade of the plant.
"Ancient books record that fire ginseng has the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life, and it can directly have a tonic effect on the fire spirit root and purify the impurities of the spirit root." Duo'er casually said the effect of fire ginseng, "In this era, there is no spiritual root, can it directly replenish the elemental pillar?" ”
"Well, yes. Among the heavenly and earthly treasures recorded in ancient books, there are very few medicinal materials that directly act on the spiritual root. Wuwei shook his body with emotion.
"This is different from the energy of ordinary alien plants, how to evaluate the grade?" Duo'er only felt the mildness of the energy just now, and the concentration really didn't see it, but she could feel that it was very rich.
"The more energy is abundant and the longer the place where it is grown, the purer the energy, and the greater the purifying effect. This ginseng is at least five hundred years old, and the energy is also good, so it should be of the highest grade. "Wuwei is not quite sure of its grade, but the top grade is certain.
Duo'er picked up another fire lingzhi, with a red and black handle, and the umbrella cover was red and shiny, and it was at least 500 years old.
This fire reishi is full of vitality, and the fire element is also pure and mild. It is used to repair the meridians of the fire ability, and has the benefit of harmonizing various organs of the human body.
The most interesting is the fire lotus, which is also recorded by the Federation. Its lotus pods and flowers are sacred products for curing fire injuries and fire poisons, and the leaves are also helpers to clean up the fire element.
However, its root, the fire lotus root, actually deposited and condensed a large amount of fire elements in the holes, which were rich and almost solidified, and had formed a red jelly shape, and the energy level could reach the green level, which was a high-grade ingredient.
"The fire lotus is transformed and grown by absorbing the energy of lava, and if there is a fire lotus in the magma pool, this magma pool will never erupt." Wuwei said with some pity. "If this fire lotus can grow in the magma pool, its grade will be improved."
The fire frog feeds on the leaves, flowers, and lotus canopies of the fire lotus, and the fire defense of the body is extremely high, but there is no fire element in the body, it is actually an earth-based beast.
Duo'er couldn't help but smile with emotion: "The relationship between this strange beast and the alien plant is really wonderful, some are like neighbors, some are like partners, some are like parents, and some are like enemies, but they are all extremely harmonious. ”
"Wuwei, do you say that these medicinal herbs are also good for wine?" These days, Duo'er is in love with winemaking, and it's a pity that such a good material doesn't make some medicinal wine.
"Yes, winemaking can better dissolve the medicinal power of medicinal herbs, but if you use your fruit wine as the wine mother, forget it." Wuwei said disdainfully, "You must use high-grade wine, and it is made from grain with high purity, otherwise the medicinal power will not be able to melt in, and it will be too wasteful." ”
"Alas, millet, rice, wheat or something, I haven't found it yet." Duo'er can't help but miss the fragrant white rice, and she always feels that she can't eat enough just meat and vegetables.
"Is it okay to make medicinal food?" Doll continued
"You drink a lot of water from the space, which doesn't work much for you under normal circumstances. However, if you are injured, it is better to use space spring water as a medicinal diet than to use spring water alone. Wuwei explained.
Next, Duo'er and Wuwei inspected the medicinal plants one by one, and were pleasantly surprised to find a lot of thousand-year-old fire ginseng and fire lingzhi.
Wuwei first planted medicinal herbs that were more than 500 years old in the space, and these treasures were not needed now. For other medicinal herbs with low vintage, choose medicinal plants with strong vitality and different years to plant in the space.
A small pond was specially prepared for the fire lotus and spring water was drawn. It's just a pity that the flowers and canopies of the fire lotus are eaten a lot by the fire frog, and the year is not very good, I hope that raising it in the space can improve its quality.
Since Wuwei woke up, many seedlings have been planted in the space, and the originally empty space is now lush.
Duo'er handed over the rest of the medicinal herbs to Ah He to clean and store them separately in the cupboard of the space kitchen according to age. Fire lotus root is also stored in the kitchen of the space.
Because these medicinal plants are not recognized by the Federation, they have grown freely in the volcanic group for many years, and have undergone countless baptisms of magma, and they are extremely large in quantity and of excellent quality.
Duo'er's current cultivation level is low, and the energy of low-level alien plants and alien beasts is enough for her to absorb, so she can't use these good things for the time being, but she can try to make some medicinal food with young fire ginseng and fire lingzhi.
――
In a blink of an eye, it was dinner time, Ming Fengrui was going home, and Duo'er was ready to make dinner.
Think about traveling alone on Earth for many years, and being alone in the interstellar world. I thought I liked this kind of free and unrestrained life, and I didn't quite adapt to the constraints of home life. But now this plain warmth is what she expected.
I remember that there is a steamed ginseng chicken in the Yunjia medicinal diet, the ingredients are simple, but you need some ginseng, just make a steamed ginseng bird to taste.
I took a fire-type green-level rock-burning bird and an orange-level red firebird, slaughtered and cleaned the feathers and internal organs, and put them into two stew pots respectively.
In the two stew pots, some low-grade ginseng, mushrooms of the same grade as the ingredients, tender and crisp slices of different plants, minced shallots and shallots, fruit wine, fire salt crystals, and space spring water were placed.
Duo'er suddenly had a flash of inspiration, took out a drop of flint milk, and finally put it in the steamer and set the time and temperature.
Duo'er injected the fire element to envelop the two pots of ingredients, and her spiritual power focused on the changes in the food.
Steaming is considered to be faster than boiling, and the operation of water vapor makes the heat more evenly dispersed in the container, and it is easier to maintain the full shape of the ingredients, so that the ingredients are cooked without rotting.
Duo'er watched the water under the steamer boil and boil, the meat in the stew pot became soft, the soup turned from clear to turbid, and there were small ripples, gradually blending the ingredients and ingredients together, and the kitchen was already full of meaty aroma.
