According to legend, this Houttuynia cordata is still the first person to find this thing that can be eaten, when King Goujian of Yue became a prisoner of King Wu, he tasted his courage and vowed to make the country stronger, but in the first year of returning to China, he encountered a rare famine year, the people had no food to eat, Gou Jian personally went up the mountain to find edible wild vegetables, and finally found Houttuynia cordata, so the Yue country actually relied on this small wild vegetable to get through the difficulties, because this wild vegetable has a fishy smell, it was named Houttuynia cordata by Gou Jian.

It seems that this is a good thing, at least there is nothing else to grow in the famine years, this is a good thing to plant.

Li Yangqing remembers that when he was a child, his grandmother in the countryside planted a season in the field, and the second season did not care about it, and the mother plant in the field grew a large area of wild Houttuynia cordata in the second year, as long as the land is moist and the sandy loam soil with leeward and sunny direction can be cultivated.

Li Yangqing plans to dig up a part of it first and take it back, and then transplant the remaining part when he finds a good place, and see if it can grow a little longer.

This grass not only has edible value but also medicinal value, this grass is crushed and has a fishy smell that can clear heat and detoxify, antibacterial, antiviral, improve immunity, diuretic and other effects.

Li Yangqing thought in his heart that this was one of the few things he knew, if no one in the town bought it and tried it in the medical hall, when the herbs were sold, he must make good use of them and strive to make a small amount of money, even if he couldn't sell them, at least he could eat them.

Li Yangqing looked around, this place is quite hidden, ordinary people shouldn't notice here, even if they see this thing, no one should take it away, after all, no one else in Lijia Village has eaten this, so let's dig some and try it back, if it's good, find a wasteland and a variety of points.

The soil is very soft, and after a while, I dug up about two catties, found some branches with leaves, and put the dug Houttuynia cordata in it, so as not to let others see it and be too lazy to explain, after all, no one has eaten it yet, and the rest will be dug up next time, and it will be time to go home after coming out for so long, so as not to worry about the family looking for people everywhere, Li Yangqing took Houttuynia cordata and walked home along the way he came.

Opening the courtyard gate, as soon as he entered the courtyard of his house, Li Yangqing looked left and right in the courtyard, the courtyard was quiet, and it seemed that they had all gone to the field to work.

After walking a few steps further, I saw Li Yangming's room open, Li Yangming was flipping through the bamboo slips in the room, if the third brother was born in a big family, he didn't have to worry about running out of books anymore.

Li Yangming is so motivated, so eager for knowledge, thinking that many people in modern society don't like to read, he can't help but feel a trace of helplessness, the evil social system, the division of hierarchies, and the light practice of human life, can only secretly cry in his heart, and now it's better to fill his stomach first.

"Sister, you're back! What's in your hand? Li Yangming saw Li Yangqing squatting on the ground to clean up the houttuynia in the branches, so he curiously put down the bamboo slip and walked out of the house, squatted beside Li Yangqing and asked curiously.

"Third brother, I found a good thing today, this is called Houttuynia cordata, it can be mixed cold and cooked, but it is delicious."

Li Yangming took a piece of houttuynia cordata and smelled it, "It stinks, sister, let me tell you, this grass is very smelly, and no one in the village eats it." ”

"Third brother, don't worry! This is delicious, let me tell you a secret, I saw in a dream last night an old man wearing holy light, dressed in white, holding a whisk in his hand, took me to a strange place, I see that people there have eaten this, there are many ways to eat it! The houses were all high, the roads were flat, there were a lot of box-like things running around on them, and he taught me a lot of things! Otherwise, how dare I dig this and know how to eat it. In order not to arouse the suspicion of his family, and in the future, he is bound to do a lot of different actions from this world, Li Yangqing can only find an excuse to prevaricate in the past.

The ancients were very superstitious, such as sacrificing to the earth god in spring and autumn, praying for good weather during spring ploughing, and repaying the gods in autumn.

So what Li Yangqing said when he found a virtual immortal, the family was very convincing, and they all said that there is a golden finger in the crossing, where is the golden finger? Why didn't you come to me! What Li Yangqing can rely on is some knowledge of modern sociology, it is too difficult to live well in this world, God, you can bless your own life!

"Sister, really? You must have met a fairy, but you can't talk nonsense everywhere, lest you be punished, they all say that the secret of heaven must not be leaked, and my sister must hide this matter, this is a blessing given by God to see that our family is too hard, and the sky is auspicious. ”

"Third brother, listening to you say this, it should be like this, in the past two years, I have often dreamed of this old man." In order to further strengthen the claim of the immortals, I had to lie a little more.

"Well, sister, what are you going to do with this thing called Houttuynia cordata? When mom and dad, sister-in-law, and nephews come back for dinner, let everyone try it, but you have to convince them. ”

"Third brother, don't worry! I promise they'll be delicious, so let's wash the dirt on them first, and I'll ask you to bring you a basin of water. ”

"Okay, sister, you wait." , Li Yangming ran to the kitchen water tank with a "da-da-da", hurriedly scooped a wooden basin of water with a gourd scoop, and ran to Li Yangqing's side, because he ran in a hurry, some of the water was sprinkled on his clothes, wetting a piece of clothes.

"Third brother, slow down, don't rush." Quickly took the wooden basin from the third brother's hand and put it aside, picked up the Houttuynia cordata from the ground and put it in the basin and rubbed it, some mud, weeds and small roots were rubbed out, and after pouring the dirty water in the basin, the two brothers and sisters brought it to the kitchen, and added a few scoops of water to clean it a few times and finally cleaned it.

"Third brother, put a bowl under that rice basket and support it, and then filter the water."

"Okay, sister." Li Yangming looked at Li Yangqing with a smile, put the things he needed on the chopping board at home, and helped Li Yangqing put the houttuynia in the pot into the rice basket, after all, Li Yangqing, a little girl, is not as tall as the stove, so the little girl with an adult soul can't help but feel depressed, after all, she is only ten years old, when will she grow up.

"Sister, what do you do next? I'll just listen to your little man's command, hehe! Li Yangming stood by the stove and looked at Li Yangqing with a smile, looking like he was only on orders.

"Third brother, don't make fun of me, although I'm too small to reach the stove, who let me have a smart brain, hehe!" Li Yangqing stuck out his tongue at Li Yangming a little mischievously.

Li Yangming pretended to be serious and arched his hand towards Li Yangqing, "No, let the little cooks command." ”

"Third brother, you use a knife to cut this Houttuynia cordata into sections, about the length of your little finger, cut it and put it in a bowl, add an appropriate amount of salt and stir evenly to eat, I see that the oil tank at home is empty, if there is oil to mix it will be more delicious, wait and cook a pot of corn rice with food, it is very refreshing."

"Okay, it's easy! That sister, your husband is boiling corn, let's go separately to cook and wait for the busy fathers and mothers to come back, and the family can have a hot meal early. ”

"Okay, brother, after the mix is ready, I'll taste it first and see how it tastes." , Li Yangqing sat in the stove and picked up some dry grass that ignited the fire and put it into the stove, took out the flint and lit the firewood, and after the fire slowly rose, he first prepared to heat the water in the pot, and after Li Yangming put the corn down for a while, it was okay to boil slowly over low heat.

"Sister, I've mixed it, can you taste it?" Li Yangming turned around and beckoned Li Yangqing from the stove to come over.

"Okay, the third brother will try it too." Li Yangqing looked at some firewood ash on his hands, wiped his clothes with both hands, got up and walked to Li Yangming's side, and stood on tiptoe to see the plate of Houttuynia cordata mixed on the stove.

Li Yangming saw his sister's greedy appearance, so he took the initiative to use chopsticks to clip one and feed it to Li Yangqing, who opened his mouth wide, and then took one and tasted it himself, and the two brothers and sisters chewed the vegetables in their mouths carefully.

Li Yangqing thinks that this taste is good, although the combination of oil, soy sauce and other seasonings is indeed very monotonous, but every day to eat tired of sunflower, Huo (young leaves of beans), radish, leeks, cranberries, with this wild vegetable can change the taste is also excellent.

"Third brother, what's the matter? It tastes pretty special, isn't it? Next time, we can cook and eat it with millet to fill our stomachs and save food. ”

"When the cold dishes are eaten well, there is a special aroma, it is very crisp and refreshing, and when the rest of the family comes back, let them taste it too, do you like it?"

"Third brother, the water in the pot is boiling, you can add millet into it, I add a few more fires to it and I don't have to worry about it, just boil it slowly with the residual temperature, and you can save some firewood." Li Yangqing clapped his hands and walked to the stove and stuffed a few more handfuls of firewood into it.

"Okay! I'm going to put the millet in the pot. Li Yangming said while walking to the rice jar at home, opened the lid and saw that the grain to the end was a whole worry, the family food is almost gone, the autumn harvest is still two months, the family of more than a dozen people used to want four bowls of grain and water to boil gruel to mix a full water, now can only save again, so I put a bowl of millet less, thinking that it will be good to add more water later, anyway, this meal is also an evening meal, eat less and rest early to endure it will pass.

"Third brother, sister, we're back." , With a "squeak" of opening the door, Li Yangwu's loud voice reached the ears of the two brothers and sisters in the kitchen.

"Third uncle, sister-in-law, we are also back, and we have dug up a basket of purslane!" Li Chenggang, a little kid, boasted to his family a little proudly, and several other juniors also chattered, and the sensible Li Wendong carried a basket of wild vegetables into the kitchen.

"Hey, third uncle and sister-in-law, why did you cook so early today, I thought I would have to wait for my mother to come back! Look, here are a few of us digging wild vegetables today, quite a lot! Although Li Yangdong is the eldest of this group of children, he usually tries to pretend to be a little adult, but at this moment, he looks like he is begging for praise and faintly raising it, staring at Li Yangming and Li Yangqing, it seems that all the children still want to be praised and praised by adults as long as they do what they think is a great thing.

"Not bad, Wen Dong did a good job, worthy of praise." Li Yangming, the little master, smiled and took the basket handed over by Li Wendong, reached out and touched Li Wendong's head.
