Chapter 637: Picking Water Chestnuts

ps: Thank you for the tip of the dragon of the heart, I will update it here today, good night everyone!

Everyone was enjoying it, and the mother bear didn't know the news from there, so she rushed over and fished the bear out of the water. When the bear came ashore, he pointed at the monkey and barked.

Of course, everyone could not understand what the little creature was going to say, but the mother bear suddenly became irritable and began to chase and kill the monkey. The monkey and the bear are also on the wrong path, and when they see that the situation is not good for them, they immediately slip away.

Many people present were confused by this scene, what does this have to do with monkeys? Bear's personality is too easily irritable, right?

A person familiar with the matter revealed on the spot: "The bear ran into the water, which is the monkey's masterpiece." Originally, the bear was just standing by the ditch, and was pushed by the monkey in the back, probably just hitting the carp, and a series of things came. ”

The man also guessed that the reason for the bear and the carp was not very clear. Everyone wiped their sweat again and again, and secretly said in their hearts: The monkey is really not the master of Ansheng!

"This monkey is too bad." Chu Jiaqiang's cousin saw that Xiao Xiong was so embarrassed, so he naturally sympathized with Xiao Xiong even more. This point of view made many people nod in agreement, as far as they know, the monkey does a lot of bad things, and especially likes to play tricks on others.

Chu Jiaqiang took the bear back, washed the mud off its body, and then let it stay at the door to bask in the sun and dry the water on its body.

"Hey! I heard that someone in the village is touching the water chestnut on the side of the rotten pond, do you want to go? Ye Jisheng asked Chu Jiaqiang. This news is also just heard from a villager, it is said that a buyer has his eyes on the water chestnut in the rotten pond of others, and always tricks others to pick it.

"Is it ripe now? Seems a little early, right? Chu Jiaqiang remembered that the water chestnut was from September to November, and this September had just begun, could it be a little early?

That rotten pond because there's a hole underneath. Not only does the water leak, but the fish also escape, so it has been left unrepresented. The owner simply threw some water chestnuts down to dig a little bit every year to eat. In the past, children would often run down and touch it.

In the first two or three months, these water chestnuts bloomed, and at night they also attracted many people to watch, which Chu Jiaqiang knew. Speaking of which, water chestnut is also a strange creature. Small white flowers bloom in May and June. It opens at night and closes during the day, shifting with the waxing and waning of the moon. Therefore, if you want to see water chestnut blooming, you have to go at night. It's a blessing to watch.

"Hmmm! Let's go pick a little bit and come back! I haven't eaten this kind of thing in a while, so I'll get a meal tonight. Chu Jiaqiang suddenly felt a little nostalgic.

He remembered that the medical book said that the main law and order replenished the five internal organs, filled the hunger and lightened the body. It can relieve heat heat, erysipelas, typhoid fever, and quench thirst. Anti-alcohol poisoning. Mash the powder and eat, make up for the middle and prolong the years. If you eat too much, it will damage the spleen and cause abdominal distension and diarrhea, which will disappear after taking warm ginger wine

Let's go to the rotten pond. There are already quite a few people picking it below. Some water chestnut floating leaves are alternate, clustered at the end of the stem, forming a rosette-shaped water rhomboid on the surface of the water. The leaves of these water chestnuts are diamond-shaped, while the fruits have horns. That's why it's called water chestnut.

"Hey, why doesn't this water chestnut have horns?" Zhou Furong has sharp eyes. Suddenly, one of the water chestnuts in the pile was found to be oblate spherical without horns.

Chu Jiaqiang rolled his eyes, making a fuss, it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, but why are you shouting so loudly? Afraid that others won't know that you haven't seen it?

"There are also hornless ones, and I haven't seen one horn, so I don't know if there is. It is common to have two horns, three horns, and four horns. I've never seen more than four corners. Chu Jiaqiang said.

A flush flashed on Zhou Furong's face, but it was only an instantaneous thing. This guy is also quite thick-skinned, and he is not too embarrassed, and when others roll their eyes, he should not see it.

"This water chestnut is so small! I used to see it as big as three fingers. "When someone sees these water chestnuts that are only the size of a finger, they wonder if they are malnourished.

"What you used to see should be artificially cultivated, right? These should be wild, different. The taste of the wild will be a little bitterer than the cultivated one, but the effect is definitely greater. Xu Hao said. Although he is not a doctor, he also knows that water chestnut has a high value and can cure many diseases, even cancer has miraculous effects.

However, he didn't know that in fact, water chestnut was also the nemesis of aphrodisiac, which could calm the lust of men and women. There is a saying in the ancient medical book: "All the fruits in the water, this thing is the most cold, people are refrigerated, damage the yang, and make the jade stem decay." ”

"Get some of the young seedlings too." Chu Jiaqiang didn't run down, saving himself a body of mud. But there are a lot of people who are willing, most of them are children and tourists.

"What are you going to do?" Li Quan couldn't help but ask.

Chu Jiaqiang had no choice but to explain that the young seedlings of water chestnut can also be eaten. Fresh water chestnut grass stems, commonly known as "water chestnut seedlings". Many people think of it as an ordinary aquatic weed, but it is not.

The water chestnut itself is infinitely useful, mainly reflected in the edible value. For example, fresh water chestnut rice is washed, chopped and pureed, supplemented with meat filling to make steamed buns. After steaming, it tastes delicious and has an endless aftertaste. Coupled with the aroma of the minced meat itself, it is mouth-watering.

In addition, after chopping the rice seedlings in the same way, adding raw meat, tofu, vegetables and other ingredients, the rice rice balls made are also an out-and-out folk delicacy. As an aquatic plant, water chestnut is really full of treasures.

Zhou Furong didn't care so much, he picked a few good ones, washed them with water, and then ate them. Some people who don't know why are surprised: "Can you eat it raw?" ”

This time, it was Zhou Furong's turn to be surprised: "You don't know? ”

The man was not embarrassed for a moment, his face turned red, and he smiled, he really didn't know that water chestnuts could be eaten raw. However, he didn't eat much before, and he cooked water chestnut porridge at home, and he felt that the taste was quite good.

"You can eat it raw, but it tastes a little bitter, and when it's cooked, it won't. It's best to cook it before eating! Chu Jiaqiang said. But in rural areas, many children eat it raw and nibble on it like fruit.

Autumn is the season of picking water chestnuts and water chestnuts, which are fresh and tender when they are just picked, and you can't help but eat them in your mouth. At this time, it is very likely to be infected with ginger fasciles parasitic on water chestnuts and water chestnuts. Fasciola ginger parasitizes the small intestine of the human body and can cause digestive tract and systemic symptoms, such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, etc., and in severe cases, anemia, edema and developmental disorders.

"Go back and make Hongling juice and eat it tomorrow." Ye Caiping said happily. She has eaten like this before, Hongling shells, mashes, twists natural juice, leaves overnight, then adds a little sugar, stews slightly warm through water, and can be drunk.

Drinking Hongling juice in summer has the effect of clearing heat and relieving fever, removing annoyance and quenching thirst, and is an excellent refreshing drink in summer and summer. Hongling juice also has the effect of dispelling alcohol poison and sobering up.
