The girls in the house and the dolls in the village came back, and they were all counting the contents of their baskets in the yard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info。 qb5、/

Wukong jumped into the house and went straight to the kitchen, scooped a scoop of cold water and poured it down, and then let out a long sigh of relief, it seemed that he was thirsty outside.

After Wukong, a group of children also prepared to drink cold water, but they were stopped by Zhang Taiping, and instead took out a large watermelon from the refrigerator and killed it and distributed it to the little dolls.

When they were all eating watermelon, Zhang Taiping asked Yaya, "What are you doing here?" ”

The girl swallowed the watermelon that had bitten a mouthful of watermelon and said, "Let's go to the side of the mountain to pick honeysuckle." As he spoke, he handed the small basket behind him to Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping first wiped the watermelon seeds off her face with his thumb, and then looked at the small basket she handed over, which contained half a basket of two or three centimeters long toothpicks and mallet-like things, which was honeysuckle.

"It's honeysuckle," Zhang Taiping remembered a little story about honeysuckle, and said to the children in the room, "There is a story related to honeysuckle here, do you want to hear it?" ”

"Yes!" "Yes!" Tian Tian and Yaya, the two little girls, raised their hands first, and Fan Ming next to them was also attracted over. The little dolls who were nibbling on the sweet and cold watermelon also slowed down their movements, and they all looked at him.

Zhang Taiping smiled and began to speak: According to legend, in the process of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng, most of the soldiers were not accustomed to the water and soil, and they were hit by the miasma of Shanlan. Later, after passing through a small village, seeing that the villagers were yellow, hungry and thin, Zhuge Liang suddenly felt compassion and distributed military rations to rescue. The villagers were very grateful, and when an indigenous white-haired old man learned that many Shu soldiers were suffering from "heat poison", he called his twin granddaughters: "Jinhua, Yinhua, you go and pick a few baskets of immortal medicine to solve problems for the Shu army." Three days later, however, the sister had not returned. People searched in many ways, and on a mountain cliff, they saw that two medicine baskets had been harvested with herbs, and there were wild wolf footprints and torn clothes and shoes on the side of the baskets......

The soldiers of the Shu army ate the herbs and were saved, but the golden flower and honeysuckle gave their lives for this, in order to commemorate them, people called the flowers of this herb "honeysuckle".

"Yikes! They're so pitiful. Hearing this, Yaya's little face was full of sadness, and there seemed to be mist in her eyes about to overflow.

This was something Zhang Taiping didn't expect, and hurriedly comforted: "This is just a story, it can't be true." ”

Compared with Yaya, the boy paid more attention to the war that Zhang Taiping just mentioned, and as soon as he finished speaking, a male doll asked: "Uncle Handsome, what is the story of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Huo?" ”

Zhang Taiping replied: "This is something in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", you go back and ask your parents to buy you such a book or watch TV to see it." In his concept, there is no saying that he doesn't look at the Three Kingdoms and doesn't look at the Water Margin.

Just like Zhang Taiping said to Yaya, it was just a story that couldn't be true, and the origin of the name of honeysuckle was already unverifiable.

According to relevant literature, honeysuckle has been cultivated in China for more than 2,200 years. As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, in the Chinese medicine monograph "Shennong's Materia Medica", it contained honeysuckle, saying that it "does not wither in winter"; The Jin Dynasty poet Duan Keshi said: "There are vines, herons, and vines, which are born non-human, and the silver stamens between the golden flowers are green and self-contained." ”

So honeysuckle is also known as honeysuckle. Honeysuckle is a semi-evergreen shrub with semi-vine-growing stems, oval leaves, and trumpet-shaped flowers. It is white at first bloom and gradually turns yellow, which is also said to be the origin of the name "honeysuckle".

The stems, leaves and flowers of honeysuckle can be used as medicine, which has the effects of detoxification, anti-inflammatory, anti-virus, anti-bacterial, diuretic and anti-itching. It has a strong effect on carbuncles, boils, intestinal carbuncles, pulmonary carbuncles, and swelling, heat clearing and detoxification. Simply soaking honeysuckle is biased cold, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and evacuating wind and heat. It can treat summer fever, diarrhea, influenza, boils, swelling and poison, acute and chronic tonsillitis, periodontitis and other diseases.

Of course, not everyone is suitable for taking honeysuckle all the time.

It is not suitable for long-term drinking, and is only suitable for temporary drinking in the hot summer to prevent and treat dysentery. In particular, it should be reminded that it should not be drunk during the cold constitution and menstrual period, otherwise, adverse reactions may occur. It is better to drink it when you feel that it is hot, and it will backfire if you drink too much.

In addition to its medicinal value, honeysuckle can also be used to make tea, honeysuckle tea is an emerging health tea, the tea soup is fragrant, sweet and delicious, and sells well in domestic and foreign markets. Drinking this tea often has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, activating meridians, and skin care and beauty.

There are two kinds of honeysuckle tea on the market yard, one is the honeysuckle tea made by mixing fresh honeysuckle and a small amount of green tea, and making it according to the honeysuckle tea making process; The other is made by blending dried or sun-dried honeysuckle with green tea. These two kinds of honeysuckle tea, the former is florally fragrant, mainly to appreciate the fragrance of flowers; In the latter, the tea fragrance is lower, but it can maintain the medicinal effect of honeysuckle without losing its health care effect. Honeysuckle tea is a health drink suitable for all ages, and it is more suitable to drink in summer.

There is also a lot of attention to brewing and tasting honeysuckle tea.

For high-end honeysuckle tea, it is not only about drinking, but also about the process of appreciation. Brew with boiling water to cool slightly to about 90C, and then add a lid to prevent the aroma from being lost; Holding the tea tray against the light, through the glass wall to observe the tea fluttering up and down in the water, ups and downs, as well as the tea slowly unfolding, restoring the leaf shape, oozing the tea soup color of the change process, "a cup of small world, mountains, rivers, flowers and trees", can be called artistic enjoyment, called "eye product".

When the tea soup is slightly cool and palatable, drink it in small sips, stay in the mouth for a while, and use the action of inhaling and exhaling through the mouth, and the tea soup flows back and forth on the tongue once or twice, fully in contact with the taste buds, and then swallows after tasting the tea flavor and the aroma in the soup. This taste is intoxicating, just as the Song Dynasty Fan Zhongyan tea song said, "the taste of tea is light today", "the tea fragrance is thin orchid". Comprehensively appreciate the unique tea flavor and fragrance of honeysuckle tea, which is called "mouth taste".

There is a folk saying that "one sip is for drinking, three sips for the product", and only by sipping it can it taste. After the first tea is opened, the boiling water is added when the soup is left for one-third of the time, and the second is opened. If you drink three times, the tea taste has faded, and you will not continue to drink. Through the nose smell and taste of the three open tea soups, and after comprehensively appreciating the palatability of the tea taste and the freshness, concentration and purity of the aroma, the three fragrances are "full fragrance", and the tea shape, taste and aroma are all the best for honeysuckle tea.

Brewing general mid-range honeysuckle tea, not emphasizing the shape of the ornamental tea embryo, you can use white porcelain to cover the cup, brew 100C boiling water and cover the cup, smell the aroma after 5 minutes, and taste the tea. This kind of honeysuckle tea has a fragrant aroma, mellow tea taste, three tea flavors, and is resistant to brewing.

Brewing low-grade honeysuckle tea, or honeysuckle tea, called "high end" in the north, generally uses white porcelain teapot, because there is more water in the pot, the heat preservation is better than the cup, which is conducive to fully brewing the tea taste. Depending on the size of the teapot and the number of tea drinkers, the taste is strong, take an appropriate amount of tea leaves into the pot, flush it into the pot with 100C boiling water, add the lid of the teapot, wait for 5 minutes, and then drink it into the teacup. This kind of brewing and drinking method is convenient and hygienic, and the second is family reunion, or three or five relatives and friends talk to each other, sit around and drink tea, talk about family life, and are more harmonious, adding to the atmosphere of unity and friendship and harmony.

Zhang Taiping had mail-ordered some honeysuckle tea on Taobao before, and he knew this very well.

Turning to Fan Ming, he asked, "When did you pick these honeysuckles?" ”

Whenever summer and autumn come, the mountainous areas and hills of the northern and southern provinces of our country have this kind of vine climbing plant, blooming yellow and white flowers, when opening is pure white, and then turning yellow, very beautiful. It may not seem to be very valuable to see it everywhere, but it is quite particular about collecting the flower, which must be picked in the early morning on a sunny day when the dew is just dry, and dried in time or in the shade, so that the medicinal effect is good. Therefore, Zhang Taiping has this question.

Fan Ming thought for a while and replied, "We picked it before the sun came out, and there was still dew on it at that time, which wet the sleeves, but it was already dry by now." ”

Hearing her say this, Zhang Taiping moved the idea of leaving these honeysuckles to make honeysuckle tea, and asked the little dolls who were eating watermelon, "Are you going to sell these honeysuckles?" ”

The dolls in the mountains will collect some herbs in the mountains during the summer vacation and sell them to the pharmacies in the town to exchange for some pocket money, honeysuckle is one of them, but they don't know how much this thing is worth, and most of the parents don't know, so they are often deceived by the pharmacies in the town and only get a small part of the money. Even so, they were still in high spirits.

"Well, sell! Uncle do you want it? A slightly older boy asked, and the other dolls nodded at him. Selling it to him is naturally the best, just like the first few times the apricot kernels and cicada shells don't need them to go back to the town.

Generally, artificially planted honeysuckle is about ten yuan a kilogram, and the good ones will be hundreds. The children's honeysuckle is picked in the wild before the morning sun rises, and the morning dew is soaked in the top grade, and he plans to calculate it at the price of 100 yuan.

"I'll give you the price of fifty dollars a catty."

Basically, every child carried a small basket or cloth bag, and the few were two or three or two, so in the end each person got a sum ranging from ten to twenty yuan.

"So much money?" It was a bit strange for a large group of children to hold the money in their hands, and when they used to sell it to the pharmacy in the town, the total was only twenty or thirty yuan, and in the end, it was only one or two yuan per person.

One of the brains immediately asked, "Uncle Handsome, will you still accept honeysuckle in the future?" ”

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "Collect, I will collect as much as you pick, but it must be honeysuckle with dew on it before the sun comes out, otherwise you will give less money." ”

A group of children were overjoyed, and the chickens nodded their heads like pecks.

PS: Ask for flowers.
