"Brother Liu, what are you doing?"

With the direction from which the voice came, Liu Yi looked up and saw that Wang Jingqian, who was still competing to fly a kite just now, now came to his side alone.

Raised the wild onion in his hand: "Know this, good thing, you will grow up at night." ”

Wang Jingqian took a closer look at the shape of the wild onions, and said with some doubts: "Isn't this the shallots, seeing that they are so small, there is nothing peculiar about them!" ”

"That's because you haven't been in the countryside, this is a good thing, it tastes much more fragrant than ordinary shallots!" Liu Yi finally satisfied Wang Jingqian's thirst for knowledge.

"Are there any other wild vegetables, let's go pick some now and eat them in the evening." Wang Jingqian looked eager to try.

At this time, Liu Yi was a little puzzled: "You stopped flying kites this afternoon, and you are interested in picking wild vegetables?" ”

"Isn't this Xiao Yan coming over, I'll let her play for a while, and I'll change people later!"

"Hehe, you are really generous today, the day before yesterday, your good sisters couldn't compete with you no matter how they fought for kites, and today you carried forward your style!" Liu Yi said with a smile and joked.

However, Wang Jingqian said disapprerovingly: "This time and that time, wasn't it novel and fun at that time, now that Xiao Yan came over, she didn't play last time, is there a problem with her?" ”

"No problem, you're doing a good job!" Sometimes it is unclear with Wang Jingqian on these issues.

Thinking about the fact that now when the spring flowers are blooming and everything is recovering, there are a lot of wild vegetables in the wasteland, and then looking at the surrounding environment, Liu Yi suddenly thought of a kind of wild vegetables suitable for picking at this season.

I saw Liu Yi put the wild onion that had been sorted out into a stone mountain on the bare land. Then he walked to the edge of the reservoir, bent down and looked among the grass, but stood up again and shook his head, as if he was not very pleased with the growth of the place.

This aroused Wang Jingqian's curiosity: "Brother Liu, what kind of wild vegetables are you going to pick?" ”

Liu Yi did not speak, but continued to walk up the reservoir, and was about to reach the place where the stream inlet, near the inlet was a depression, about 50 square meters, and the plants in the depression grew very luxuriantly.

When Liu Yi came here, he showed a relieved expression on his face, looking at Wang Jingqian, who was a little puffed up behind him. She was still complaining in her heart that Liu Yi ignored her.

"Alright. Don't be angry, I was worried that there weren't any wild plants here, but I can tell you when I get here, you see they're all wild plants. It's water celery. Liu Yi then pulled up a wild vegetable and explained to Wang Jingqian.

Wang Jingqian took the water celery in Liu Yi's hand and said with a surprised face: "Isn't this the same as the celery eaten at home." How is it called water celery? Is it because they are standing in the water? ”

After listening to Wang Jingqian's words, Liu Yi suddenly laughed: "I think all the children you who grew up in the city should be sent to the countryside to stay for a year and a half, otherwise you will really become industrious and indistinguishable from grains in the future." ”

"Alright, Brother Liu. Don't laugh at me, didn't I ask you to tell me about it because I didn't know the way? Wang Jingqian's face was depressed.

"Okay, I didn't mean to make fun of you, I just think that there is still too big a gap in cognition between the urban and rural areas, and I don't know whether this is good or bad." After speaking, he shook his head, "Forget it, don't talk about that, I'll explain this water celery to you!" ”

"Water celery, as the name suggests, is near the water's edge or in soft and moist soil, and generally grows in shady or damp places. The main reason for saying that it is celery is that its appearance and taste are basically the same as the celery eaten at home, but the taste of this water celery is stronger than that of celery, and the trace elements it contains are not comparable to celery. ”

"So this water celery is better than domestic celery? But why don't I see this water celery in the mall or supermarket? Wang Jingqian questioned what Liu Yi said.

"Didn't I tell you, this water celery has high requirements for the environment, it is mainly distributed in the developed waters of the southern rivers, and its own taste is stronger than that of domestic celery, some people can't accept it, but you don't look down on it, this water celery is not only edible but also medicinal value." Liu Yi said slowly.

"Oh, you say it's so good, then you can tell me what's the benefit of eating it!" Liu Yi praised the water celery to the sky, which aroused Wang Jingqian's interest, not only that, maybe Liu Yi and Wang Jingqian were too involved, and the few kite flyers over there now seemed to be a little tired and also took back the kites floating in the sky and gathered around Liu Yi.

Liu Yiman continued indifferently: "Water celery contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, and each 100g edible part contains 1.8g of protein, 0.24g of fat, 1.6g of carbohydrates, 1.0g of crude fiber, 160mg of calcium, 61mg of phosphorus, and 8.5mg of iron. Cress also contains rutin, phelland, and quercetin, among others. Its tender stems and petioles are fresh and tender, fragrant and refreshing, and can be mixed raw or fried. Cress flavor sweet and spicy, cool, into the lungs, stomach meridian, has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, nourishing lean qi, cleaning blood, lowering blood pressure, promoting lung dampness, etc., and can also treat urine drenching, stool bleeding, jaundice, wind and fire toothache, cheeks and other diseases, so far I have not heard of side effects. Many of the things I'm talking about are effects that domestic celery doesn't have. ”

"Wow. Brother Liu, you know a lot, since I think we are tired of flying kites, let's just go pick wild celery! Xiao Jie suddenly came out with a sentence.

"Okay, I agree, I'm going to eat water celery tonight, how can Brother Liu's water celery be more delicious?" Wang Jingqian immediately raised her hand in agreement, and also thought of how to eat water celery.

"It's mainly cold dishes or stir-fried shredded pork with celery, and some of the boiled fish fillets can also be put in the ......"

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go and collect it immediately, I have a sample in my hand, Xiao Yan, Fei Fei, Xiao Jie, we are in a group of three. Brother Liu is in a group, and we will see who of us picks more later? Wang Jingqian immediately made a seemingly unfair group competition.

Liu Yi smiled and didn't answer, and then after seeing that they were ready to act, he kindly instructed them to be careful of leeches and other possible animals in the water, and then he also walked in the other direction where the girls were collecting water celery.

The growth of water celery in the 50-square-meter depression is really good, and it grows densely as if it was sown.

However, a few delicate girls are still not as fast as Liu Yi, and in less than an hour, Liu Yi stacked a large stack of water celery on the shore behind him, and it seemed that the number of people at several large tables at night was enough, so he hurriedly stopped. (To be continued......)
