Chapter 923: Eight Treasures of Grass

Han Peacock and Liu Wu all laughed when they heard this, and Liu Wu said: "Gold and silver ware is a luxury, in ancient times, most of the poor people in Western countries used wooden bowls to eat, you must know that the porcelain itself is hard and fine, the glaze is moist and transparent, the water absorption rate is very low, acid resistance, alkali resistance, high temperature resistance, direct contact with food will not have any chemical reaction, the smooth surface of the vessel is not conducive to the breeding of bacteria and easy to scrub, as a daily life utensil, with many other materials can not be matched by superior quality."

More importantly, porcelain provides a cheap and easily accessible necessary container for human daily life, so since the Han Dynasty, China has exported a small amount of ceramics overseas, so now, how many people have you seen eat with gold and silverware? ”

Han Peacock also smiled and said: "The history of China's export of porcelain is very long, from the bottom of the sea has been found in the Han Dynasty four series of primitive celadon jars, Jin Dynasty four series celadon jars and other physical objects, it can be clearly seen that they belong to Zhejiang, Jiangyue kiln system celadon products, but limited by the scarcity of information, it is not possible to determine whether these utensils belong to long-distance trafficking goods, or the general daily necessities on board.

The high risks of sea voyages inevitably led to many unfortunate events, and countless Chinese ceramics were left behind in the depths of the vast sea, hundreds or even thousands of years, thanks to their physical properties that are not susceptible to erosion, allowing us to see them in an archaeological way. ”

Liu Fu glanced at Han Peacock and said, "Don't be greedy, do you still want to catch all the ancient shipwrecks?" ”

Han Peacock sighed and said, "This is not easy, a shipwreck that has been going on for a long time. It is usually buried by the sediment on the bottom of the sea, and it is so easy to find one. ”

"Since it wasn't easy, how did you find it now?" Han Ronghua said.

Han Peacock said: "These things we found were all found underwater after searching for information and locking the general range, and the difficulties are not what you can imagine." ”

"If it's easy, can you wait until you go to fish? It has long been fished out by others and burned with rotten wood. Liu Wu said.

Han Peacock smiled and said, "That's right, it's not easy to find." The threshold is high. The threshold is high, we have a chance, not to mention this, it's already noon. Let's go to dinner. Eat grass today. ”

"Grass Bazhen? How did you think of eating this? Liu Wu asked strangely.

"What is Grass Bazhen?" Han Ronghua also asked.

Han Peacock smiled and said, "Cao Bazhen is one of the four eight treasures in the Manchu and Han Dynasty. Respectively refers to monkey mushrooms, white fungus, bamboo sunflowers, donkey nest mushrooms, morels, mushrooms, daylily, and Yunxiangxin, all of which are fungi, and these days my mother and Ronghua are affected. Shouldn't we treat them to a good meal? ”

Liu Fu glanced at Han Peacock and said, "I'll call our mother over." ”

Han Peacock's family does not stay in Yangcheng now, and the two of them, Liu Huiyu and Han Ronghua, four people and a baby, live in two luxurious wards in the hospital.

It stands to reason that they should have left a long time ago, after all, it has been more than a month, and Liu Wu and Han Huang's bodies have no problems at all.

But Han Peacock didn't say to leave, Liu Huiyu and Han Ronghua didn't mention it, as for Liu Wu, although she had a lot of questions in her heart, she knew that Han Peacock wouldn't sue herself, so she simply didn't ask.

A family of four sat together, and several plates were placed on the table, such as chicken sauce and bamboo sunflower mushrooms, stewed eel with bamboo sunflower and folded ear root, roasted chicken with sour radish and ginkgo seeds, fried bamboo eggs with sharp chili peppers, cold white fungus, braised lion's mane mushrooms, stewed pork ribs with daylily, and bamboo sunflower chicken soup.

"It's just the four of us, isn't it a waste to get so many dishes?" Liu Huiyu never saw Han Peacock's extravagance and waste.

Han Peacock smiled: "Don't worry, you can't eat it, I'll eat the rest." ”

Han Ronghua said: "Who said you can't eat it? I saw that there were eight dishes, but there were so few things in them that I could eat half of them myself. ”

Han Peacock said: "You can eat with confidence!" And then there's that. ”

Liu Wu also said: "Eat it!" It'll be cold later. ”

"Yikes! This stuff is really delicious, what is it made of? Han Ronghua took a bite of the sharp chili fried bamboo sunflower egg and said.

Han Peacock smiled and said: "This is made with bamboo eggs, which are paired with chili peppers to mask its taste, and there are two dishes made with bamboo eggs, so I will try it later." ”

"Bamboo Sun? Or is it a bamboo egg? Han Ronghua asked strangely.

While eating, Liu Wu said to Han Ronghua with a smile: "This is made of bamboo sunflower eggs, which are also known as bamboo sunflower mushrooms, mainly produced in the bamboo forests of Chong, Qinghechuan Province and other places, containing amino acids and other nutrients, it is a kind of precious edible fungus unique to our country, and it is also a famous precious edible fungus in the world. ”

As he spoke, the catkins picked up a piece of bamboo sunflower and said: "You see, this is the bamboo sunflower, which is a kind of cryptofloral fungus parasitic on the roots of the dead bamboo, the shape is slightly like a reticulated dry white snake skin, it has a dark green cap, a snow-white cylindrical stipe, and a pink egg-shaped fungus tray."

At the top of the stipe, there is a delicate white mesh skirt spread down from the fungus cap, the whole fungus appears very handsome, bright and rare and precious, and is called "snow skirt fairy", "flower of mountain treasures", "flower of fungi", "queen of fungus". Bamboo sunflower is rich in nutrition, rich in fragrance, delicious in taste, and has been listed as one of the "eight treasures of grass" since ancient times.

In fact, those that do not grow into bamboo sunflower are called bamboo eggs, and those that grow are called bamboo sunflowers, and they are the same thing, but the taste of the grown and ungrown ones is different, so the dishes made are also different. ”

"Sister-in-law, you know so much." Han Ronghua said to Liu Fu with a little envy, she now knows that her sister-in-law has the same ability as her eldest brother.

Liu Fu smiled and said: "I pay attention to the bamboo sun is not for no reason, the bamboo sun is a precious edible fungus, and it is a rookie in medicine, some people take the bamboo sun and the meat to cook, take the soup at 28 ~ 30 degrees to cultivate, in order to compare with the broth without adding the bamboo sun, it was found that the bamboo sun broth is 2 ~ days later than the broth, indicating that the bamboo sun does have the effect of inhibiting microbial activity. ”

"What's the use of this? Even if it is embalmed, it is not very useful! Han Ronghua didn't know that Liu Fu was talking to Han Peacock.

Liu Fu said with a smile: "Bamboo eggs can regulate the body's metabolism, enhance the body's immune function, and also nourish and strengthen the qi, nourish the brain and calm the nerves, produce sperm and tonify the kidneys, and strengthen the body, so don't look at these are all fungi, they are inconspicuous, these are all good things."

Just like the white fungus, we usually eat it, but few people know that the white fungus is not only a valuable nutritional tonic product, but also a tonic for strengthening the body, and the royal nobles of all generations have regarded the white fungus as a 'longevity product' and 'elixir of immortality'.

Tremella fuciformis is non-toxic, which not only has the effect of tonifying the spleen and appetizing, but also has the effect of benefiting qi and clearing the intestines, and can also nourish yin and moisten the lungs.

And lion's mane mushroom is even more useful, it has the effect of strengthening the stomach, replenishing deficiency, anti-cancer, and can also protect the liver, especially suitable for people with esophageal cancer, cardia cancer, stomach cancer, and also suitable for patients with cardiovascular diseases. ”

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and eat it, it won't taste good if it's cold. Han Peacock hurriedly urged the catkins, it seemed that he didn't want to say more.

As soon as Liu Wu saw Han Peacock like that, she knew that she was talking in vain, since Han Peacock didn't want to explain why she was allowed to eat these things, then she didn't ask, anyway, Han Peacock wouldn't harm her, so Liu Wu ate a few bites again and said, "I didn't eat less." ”

The entrance of the bamboo sunflower egg is fragrant and tender, the outer quilt and the fungus cover, it is milky white translucent net, also called the bamboo sunflower flower, the entrance is crispy and delicious, and several people who eat it are very satisfied.

Seeing Liu Fu and Liu Huiyu's mother and daughter, all attracted by these dishes, Han Peacock showed a satisfied smile.

However, these eight dishes are indeed as Han Ronghua said, the amount of dishes is not very sufficient, so even if the main members are three women, the dishes on the table will quickly bottom out, but at this time, the kitchen sent two more dishes, one is stewed with meat sauce and eggs, and the other is abalone sauce grilled with bamboo eggs.

"You got on the kang with Zhusun today?" Liu Fu said to Han Peacock with a smile.

Han Peacock smiled and said, "Bamboo eggs are a good thing, do you know where I got such a point?" This is a specialty of the authentic Shunan Bamboo Sea, and only in that pollution-free natural zone and unique natural environment can this natural bamboo sunflower be bred.

Especially in the embryonic period of the bamboo eggs, the nutritional value is richer, cooking and eating is more distinctive, although the bamboo eggs are only produced in Sichuan Province, but now the Yangcheng State Guest House can also be tasted, this is the amount of a day in the guest house, all let me get to our family table. ”

"Yangcheng State Guest House?" The catkins said strangely.

Han Peacock smiled, he finally brought the catkins into the ditch, so he hurriedly replied: "It is because of the novelty and health characteristics of bamboo eggs, Yangcheng State Guest House specially purchased from Sichuan Province, focusing on two varieties of stewed bamboo eggs in gravy and abalone sauce grilled bamboo eggs.

Stewed Bamboo Eggs with Meat Sauce, using fresh lean meat stew, plus soup, the original deliciousness of the Bamboo Eggs is fully revealed, plus some gelatinous substances of the Bamboo Eggs embryos, the soup is also slightly gelatinous, which has the effect of treating sensitive skin and beauty.

The dish of grilled bamboo eggs in abalone sauce is even better, this is a Western-style method, so that you can seriously appreciate this layer of different taste of bamboo eggs. Cut into a lotus-shaped bamboo egg, the outermost layer is the outer quilt, the outer layer of the embryo is wrapped in a transparent gelatinous liquid film, bite down first slippery and then cool, the kind of crisp or 'shiver' sound, mixed with abalone juice is very delicious;

The middle cap is white on the outside and black on the inside, very smooth and tender, a little like porcini mushrooms, with a bamboo fragrance; The innermost is the monmoni, spongy, tender and smooth in import, and the abalone juice is even more delicious. (To be continued......)
