In the following days, everyone was busy plowing the fields, raking the fields, planting seedlings, etc., and this month was destined to have no rest, and all kinds of rushes made the villagers live a very fulfilling life.

Chu Jiaqiang saw that some tourists even carried a few bags of rice back, and secretly said: Not really, right?

"The compatriots outside seem to have been poisoned a lot! The poisonous rice some time ago has already made them bow and snake. Ye Jisheng said. He only came to Chujiazhai not long ago, so he knows more about the situation outside.

"Alas! I don't have to worry about anything now! Even the rice is poisonous, and I really don't know what to eat in the future. "Li Quan can't say anything about those tourists, after all, everyone will have such a mentality. Even they will collect some good things from Chujiazhai from time to time and send them home for the family to taste.

In this regard, perhaps Li Quan felt it the most. His milk source base has now begun production, and many tourists will carry a few boxes back, and some even ask for long-term orders.

Nowadays, the milk source is seriously insufficient, the output has not been raised, and the sales are really not a problem, but the reputation of domestic dairy products is too poor. It is a reassuring milk production base, which is naturally very popular.

Seeing that the weather was relatively hot, the second aunt went out to cut some jelly grass that day and came back, ready to make a meal of jelly for everyone to eat.

I saw that the stalk of the jelly grass was square, covered with gray-brown long hairs, brown or black in appearance, with grooves, and the young stems were often twisted; The texture is brittle and easy to break, and there is a pith in the center. The leaves are opposite, wrinkled, papery, slightly flexible, not easily twisted, oblong or ovate, and sparsely hairy on both sides.

"It turns out that the jelly grass is like this?" Ye Jisheng picked one up and smelled it, it was indeed the taste of cold powder. Many people in Guangdong Province like to eat cold noodles, which is a good product to relieve the heat in summer.

The jelly made from jelly grass and rice is cooked with rice milk and frozen into green or black gelatinous solids, frozen food, which can be used as a thirst-quenching product in summer.

Many people in Guangdong Province, especially those who are elderly, know that the jelly has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, clearing heat and relieving heat. It can treat heat stroke, cold, high blood pressure, muscle and joint pain. Therefore, it is extremely popular in midsummer.

"Huh! Haven't seen it, have you? I see that the weather is hot, so you can't always eat watermelon to quench your thirst, right? I'll just make a meal for everyone. The second aunt smiled.

Professor Wen told everyone that Liangfen grass is also called fairy grass, fairy jelly and fairy grass. Such a plant, other names are almost all paired with a fairy word, you can know its subtlety.

"Speaking of which, their Gaoxin City is the birthplace of Liangfen Grass, which is said to be the origin of wild Liangfen Grass, and it was later spread to other places." Professor Wen added. Although he is not from Guangdong Province, he also likes jelly very much, and he used to buy some to eat in the summer, so it is difficult to say whether it is authentic or not.

According to investigation, Gaoxin City is the main wild origin of Liangfen grass, which grows in small weeds on slopes and valleys. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the local people introduced the vegetable fields to make cold powder to eat, they used fresh cold powder grass to add sweet potato leaves and a small amount of rice, ground it into a thin slurry, and then boiled this mixture into a paste, cooled into a cake, and used as food.

Gaoxin City's Liangfen can prevent heatstroke and quench thirst in summer, and can satisfy hunger and is deeply loved by local farmers.

Therefore, in a countryside like Chujiazhai, almost every village will have jelly grass. These jelly grasses are all in a wild state, and they are completely ignored, but they still provide a large amount of high-quality forage for the villagers every year to make jelly.

Something, it has to be wild, and once in captivity, it loses its vitality. When Chu Jiaqiang was young, his second aunt once told him that it is easy to get sick when planted artificially, but it can grow very well if you ignore it.

At that time, Chu Jiaqiang didn't understand that there would be such a creature. Later, as I grew older and more knowledgeable, I also understood a truth. In fact, many creatures in the world are like this, once they are taken care of and have a habit of dependence, their own abilities will decline, and all kinds of troubles will naturally come.

"The invention and production of jelly was actually forced by hunger at that time, and there was no way to get it. Many of our domestic specialty snacks have this commonality. At that time, it was just that the people were hungry, so they tried every possible way to fill their stomachs, so a lot of food was made without too much food. Later, although the hunger and cold were solved, the food has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, has been passed down, and after the changes of the times, it has gradually developed into a flavor snack in our daily life, which is very popular with everyone. "Elder Hong told everyone a lot.

"Yes, Liangfen is no exception, I don't know if any of you people in Gaoxin City have heard the story of the origin of Liangfen?" Professor Wen asked with interest. As for the origin of animals and plants, Professor Wen is still very clear.

"Ugh! Jelly grass also has a story? Haven't heard of it. Chu Jiaqiang shook his head very honestly. Maybe Teacher Liu doesn't know, but if he did, he would definitely tell the children in the story class.

It is rumored that at the end of the war, there was a family surnamed Liang who fled to the Shuangshi Ruins in Shuikou, Gaoxin City. The rations they brought had already been exhausted, and the Liang family begged for half a liter of rice from nearby people, but the family of more than 10 people was a drop in the bucket.

The aunt of the main family had nothing to do, dragging her hungry and tired body. I sat down beside a bush on a hillside on the side of the road and wept, not wanting to be hungry and unbearable, so I pulled a handful of weeds and stuffed them into my mouth, chewing and chewing and finding that the weeds were sweet and gelatinous. Aunt Liang knew that it was an edible weed, so she had an idea.

She came back from picking a large bundle of weeds and soaked the half-liter of rice she had begged for to soften. Then he went to a nearby family to borrow a grinding stone, and ground the weeds and rice into a pulp, ready to be boiled into a paste for the family to eat.

After it was cooked, Aunt Liang was afraid that her family would ask what kind of paste it was, and she would not be able to answer, so she hid the boiled paste in the stone gap of the stream, and went back to the place where she picked grass, pulled out a few and borrowed the grinding stone.

I didn't want others to know what the name of this grass was, so I shook my head and called "Aunt Liang". Aunt Liang misheard it and mistook it for "cold powder". She is a foreigner, and it is inconvenient to ask further when she first arrives in your realm, thinking that Aunt Liang is the name of this grass, so she wrote it down.

When Aunt Liang returned to the creek to take out the paste, a miracle happened. The pot of paste was soaked in the stream water, and it condensed into a turquoise frozen cake, Aunt Liang picked out a piece with a spoon and tasted it, and found that the cake was fragrant. So, she took it to her family to eat, and when the family asked the name of the cake, Aunt Liang said in her foreign accent: This is cold powder!

At that time, the name of Liangfen spread, because the parfait was made of grass, so he simply called the Liangfen cake Liangfen grass to show the difference between Aunt Liang. Later, the Liang family was able to make a living because of the invention of the food of jelly, and settled down in the Shuangshi Market in Shuinan.
