Everyone was weeding in the watermelon field with hoes, and Jiahao saw Biaozi and said, "Be careful, don't remove the grass without removing it, but remove the watermelon." ”

"Look at what you say, do you think I'm a fool? Have I ever eaten a pig's head and never seen a pig run? You don't take me for a fool, okay? Biaozi looked at Jiahao and said.

"Okay, then you can try it, this one is not so easy to use." Jiahao looked at Biaozi and said.

Biaozi bent over, held the hoe tightly with both hands, and slashed hard at the grass, and suddenly the mud and grass were scavenged.

Biaozi looked at the grass on the ground, looked at Jiahao with a smile and said, "Didn't you say that I wouldn't?" Don't you see that I removed the grass? ”

Jiahao looked at the grass that Biaozi had removed, he shook his head and said, "You removed the grass, but you look at the soil on your grass, and the grass will still grow well when it rains, don't you know?" The vitality of the grass is very tenacious. ”

Biaozi looked at the grass he had removed, and the soil was indeed very deep, as if he wanted to remove the grass and mud together.

Not only Biaozi, other people will not weed, not that the grass has not been removed, but the watermelon seedlings have been removed, the third uncle looked at the process of weeding, shook his head and said: "Don't be in a hurry to weed, you see how I weed." ”

"Third uncle, you can teach me quickly, look at me, I haven't removed a few grasses yet, my hands are blistered." Biao Zi stretched out his hand to show the third uncle and said.

"You're really a person who can't do it, how many have you gotten rid of? Your hands are blistered, and my hands are blistered. Meng Xiyan looked at Biaozi and said.

"You're not so good, are you? You see, you've broken several watermelon seedlings. Biao Zi looked at Meng Xiyan and said.

"Don't say it, look at me." The third uncle stopped everyone and said.

The third uncle gently held the hoe, against a grass, and gently removed it against the grass. A small grass was removed like this.

The third uncle looked at everyone and said, "Look at you, you can't hold the hoe too hard in this weeding, otherwise the hand will hurt very much, and the hand will be worn out quickly." When weeding, you can't use too much force, because too hard will remove the grass along with the mud, but you can't be too weak, so that the grass can't be removed, or it will be cut off from half. ”

The third uncle demonstrated a few more times, and everyone finally saw the essentials, and Biao Zi shouted, "Okay." Third uncle, I know. ”

These children are smart, and they learn as soon as they learn.

Everyone split up and soon got back to work with their hoes.

Everyone did it for less than half an hour, and they saw that Meng Xiyan and they were already tired and couldn't get up, Meng Xiyan pouted and walked to Jiahao's side recently and said, "Look at my hands." It's all broken. ”

Jiahao looked at Meng Xiyan's hand and had a few big blisters, he took Meng Xiyan's hand distressedly and said, "Okay." Don't do it. Why don't you speak with so many blisters on your hands? Well, don't do it. ”

At this time, Biaozi directly put the hoe to the side, lay down on the ridge and said: "It's so comfortable, it's better to sleep, this work is really tiring." ”

Biaozi was lying on the ground talking to himself, and suddenly he turned around. When he saw a lot of thatch on the ridges, he shouted, "Come here quickly, I'll pull the grass for you to eat." ”

Hearing the thatched grass, Jiahao became energetic. He smiled and said, "I haven't paid attention to this for years, okay, you don't have to work, I'll take you to get something delicious." ”

After Jiahao finished speaking, I saw that several of them put down their hoes and followed Jiahao to Biaozi's side.

When he was young, Jiahao took five or six children to some field, on both sides of the ditch, laughing and pulling thatch.

Thatch, also known as thatch, white thatch, white grass root, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Poaceae. The rhizomes are white, horizontally underground, dense, with scales at the nodes and a sweet apex. Sexual taste: sweet, cold. The stems are clustered, erect, and the leaves are alternate, concentrated at the base, and the base often has broken fibrous leaf sheaths at the base. The leaves are flattened, stalked or strip-lanceolate, flowering in summer, panicles cylindrical. The flowers are silvery-white, densely branched, spikelets 3-4 mm long, stalked. The fruit is oval in shape and dark brown. Covered with white pubescence.

The medicinal value of thatch root is also excellent, for fever, polydipsia, stomach fever, vomiting, lung fever cough. Mao root can clear the heat of the lungs and stomach, so it is suitable for the above diseases, and is often used as an adjuvant medicine. In the eruption period and recovery period of measles, you can use Maogen decoction as a drink to take its effect of clearing heat and generating Jin. It is used for blood fever, vomiting and urine. This product has the effect of cooling blood and stopping bleeding, treating the disease of blood fever delusion, can be used alone, can also be used with small thistle, lotus root is the same, in addition, this product also has diuretic effect, can be used for edema, hot shower, jaundice and other symptoms. Cool blood and stop bleeding, clear heat and diuretic. It is used for blood fever, vomiting blood, hemorrhage, blood in urine, fever, polydipsia, jaundice, edema, hot drenching and pain; Acute nephritis edema.

I remember when I was a child, my grandmother often took a hoe to dig thatch roots and boil water to drink, saying that it was to cool blood, stop bleeding, clear heat, and diuretic.

At that time, it was my own "home-cooked meal", and it was my own delicacy. I remember when I was a child, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green fields, with the growth of countless bits and pieces, no matter how deep the pockets of clothes can not hide into a handful of thatched tips of varying heights, the golden house in the canvas schoolbag is not as attractive as it, and is favored. When you feel bored for a short time after eating too much, you will peel off the tender cores of the grass needles, and then gather them together in your mouth and chew them into the xylitol that is common to children now.

In the early spring, after the spring rain of "sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently", many thatched grasses sprout on both sides of the ridges and ditches in the hometown, which flourish day by day, and after a period of time, you can see clusters of green and green onions, standing upright among the thatched needles...... I saw that they were dressed in withered grass-colored coats, and they had crimson waists.

Jiahao remembers that when he was a child, he went to mow the grass with groups of three or five friends all day long, carrying bamboo baskets and sickles on his back, and after going to the field, he threw away the bamboo baskets, and then played and jubilant...... It was a happy job, because I could pull a lot of thatch to eat. The pockets are full, and you can eat them while sitting on the ridges, which is really unique.

Thatched needles are not rare, it can be said that they can be seen everywhere, but not all grass grows that, so you have to look for it, sometimes you can only find a few after walking for a while, and some places are full of that kind of thatch - it is like discovering a "treasure trove", and with a cheer, the partners will gather together, scrambling to pull out, grab, make trouble...... When we were almost done, we sat on the grass and ate, peeled off the green leaf coat, and saw a white and shiny "needle", put it in our mouths and chewed, well, sweet and soft......

Biaozi looked at everyone and said, "You have to thank me, this sweet and silky is delicious." ”

"How do you know this is delicious?" Meng Xiyan looked at Biao Zi in surprise and said.

"What do you say, when I was young, I used to pull thatch at my grandmother's house to eat, and that taste was really refreshing." Biao Zi looked at Meng Xiyan and said.

"How did you find all the good ones? Why can't I find it? You see that this one of mine is old, it tastes really bad, it's a little bitter. Wen Ya looked at Biaozi and said.

"Haha, you can't eat this, you're too old, look at you, you can't chew it, it's too old, you have to look for this, it's soft and white after peeling it off, you can't do it." Biao Zi took his own to Wen Ya and looked at it and said.

"Then yours is for me, I want to eat your one." Wen Ya said as soon as he snatched the thatch from Biaozi's mobile phone.

"It's delicious, it's still your one delicious, it's delicious, it's sweet." Wen Ya said while eating Biaozi.

"You're delicious, I've been looking for it for a long time, and you snatched it all at once." Biaozi said with a pout.

"Jiahao, you find me some, you see how good Wenya eats, but why can't I find it?" Meng Xiyan walked to Jiahao's side and said.

She saw that Jiahao's pockets were all there, long and short, but she had a few in her hand, and they were very small or very old.

"Okay, mine for you." Jia Hao smiled and gave some of what he had in his pocket to Meng Xiyan.

"I want it too, I want it too, I can't find it either." Wanyu and An Ran shouted.

"Okay, I'll give it to you, I'll look for it again." Jia Hao smiled and divided everything in his pocket.

"Give me some too." Biaozi looked at Jiahao and said.

"you, you still want it, won't you look for it yourself?" Jia Hao glared at Biaozi and said.

"Then I'll find it myself, it's not like I won't look for it." Biao Zi glared at Jiahao and said.

"Biaozi, you go and bring the hoe, let's dig some thatch roots and go back to boil water and drink." Jiahao looked at Biaozi and said.

"Then you can find me thatch to eat." Biaozi looked at Jiahao and said.

"Really, you can't suffer at all, you go and get it, I'll find it for you." Jiahao looked at Biaozi and said.

A few people searched on the ridge and the edge of the ditch again, and now Meng Xiyan found a lot, and shouted with a smile: "Haha, I found it, look at a lot of it on my side." ”

An Ran heard that Meng Xiyan had found a large piece, and it was all tender, so she hurriedly ran to Meng Xiyan's side and said, "Meng Xiyan, you are so powerful, you have found so much, and I will pull it out with you." ”

Wen Ya heard An Ran shouting like this, how could she not go to this good thatch? She also hurriedly ran over, and when Wanyu saw them running away, she followed as well.

"Oh, you're all here, you go look elsewhere, don't pull it out from me." Meng Xiyan looked at everyone and said.

"Not really." Enron said.

Soon everyone's hands and clothes pockets were full of thatch.

At this time, Biao Zi also came with his hoe, and Jiahao took the hoe and quickly dug up a lot of thatch roots. (To be continued......)
