Dandelion is a perennial herb of the Asteraceae family, containing protein, fat, carbohydrates, trace elements and vitamins, etc., which is very rich in nutritional value, and can be eaten raw, fried or stewed in soup, which is a kind of edible vegetable in the wild.

At the same time, dandelion plant contains a variety of healthy nutritional values such as dandelion alcohol, dandelion, choline, organic acids, etc., which have the medicinal effects of diuresis, laxative, jaundice, choleretic effect, heat clearing and detoxification, swelling and dissipation, so it is also a common medicinal material.

Shen Xiangmiao planned to dig up some dandelions and dry them, and sell them to the pharmacy in the town to exchange for some silver.

The whole dandelion plant can be used as medicine, and Shen Xiangmiao carefully used a shovel to dig down the dandelion one by one, and put it neatly in the bamboo basket.

"Sister, this is bedwetting grass, what are you digging all this for?" Tie Dan looked at Shen Xiangmiao's excited appearance of digging treasures, and his little face was full of doubts.

Shen Xiangmiao, who heard the words "bedwetting grass", laughed out loud.

Dandelion has a diuretic effect, I'm afraid some people have given such a nickname.

"This bedwetting grass can be exchanged for money." Shen Xiangmiao said mysteriously: "Dig some and dry them and sell them in the town for money, and when you have the money, you can make meat for the iron eggs!" ”

Tie Dan didn't know if the bedwetting grass could really be exchanged for money, but as soon as he heard that there was meat to eat, he immediately drooled, and followed Shen Xiangmiao's example, and also dug up dandelions.

The sisters and brothers were busy, until the bamboo basket could not be plugged, Shen Xiangmiao took advantage of the fact that the iron egg was not paying attention, divided a part of the dandelion into the space, and continued to dig the dandelion.

It was an iron egg, and when he came over with a dug dandelion next to him, he looked at the bamboo basket in surprise: "Hey, I remember that the bamboo basket was full just now, why is it only half now?" ”

"Maybe you're dazzled, or maybe I just pressed it, and it seems to be less." Shen Xiangmiao explained.

Tie Dan felt that it made sense, so he continued to dig dandelions.

Shen Xiangmiao continued to dig dandelions while loading them into the space, until she estimated that there should be more than three baskets of fresh dandelions, and the sun was about to set, so she patted the soil on her hands and called the iron egg home.

With a bamboo basket on his back and an iron egg, Shen Xiangmiao slowly walked back.

Not to mention, this dandelion full of bamboo baskets is really heavy!

Shen Xiangmiao soon felt that her shoulder was strangled a little painfully, so she repeated the old trick and divided the dandelion into the space again, which made her feel much easier.

On the way, Tie Dan was confused again: "Sister, why do you think that there is less bedwetting grass in this bamboo basket, could it be that the bamboo basket is leaking." ”

"I dug it out of the ground and dried it for so long, maybe it was a little dry, so it looked less."

"Oh, too." Tie Dan felt that what his sister said was very reasonable.

It's like when the wheat is dried, there is a lot less.

Tie Dan no longer had doubts, and jumped back home with Shen Xiangmiao.

At home, the Lu family had already lit a fire, and when they saw Shen Xiangmiao coming back, they asked: "Xiangmiao, where did you put the fish soup and cakes at noon, why didn't you find it after looking for a long time." ”

Shen Xiangmiao then remembered that the fish soup and pasted cakes were still kept fresh in the low-temperature room of the space, and hurriedly put down the bamboo basket: "I remember putting it in the house, I'll look for ......."

After a while, Shen Xiangmiao came out with a coarse porcelain basin, and he didn't dare to give the cold basin to the Lu family, but directly poured the fish soup into the iron pot and heated it: "It's in the house, I'm afraid that the cat will smell it and steal it, so I will hide it." ”

Lu Shi did not doubt him, and filled the stove with a few dry firewood.

When Lu was having dinner, Shen Xiangmiao poured the dandelion out of the bamboo basket and fetched water to wash it.

"Xiangmiao, what are you doing digging so much bedwetting grass?" Lu Shi had the same doubts as Tie Dan.

"Mother, my sister said that this thing can be sold for money." Tie Dan said.

"Can bedwetting grass be sold for money?" Lu Shi thought it was incredible.

"Well, yes, wash and dry these, and tomorrow I will go to the town and sell them for some money, so that the family will have money to buy food, and I will not be afraid of starving before the wheat is confiscated." Shen Xiangmiao grinned and continued to wash the dandelions in her hands.

Lu Shi was also very happy, and felt that it would be best to exchange money and come back.

The fish soup was soon hot, and the three of them ate the fish soup and cakes cleanly, and took advantage of the bright moonlight at night to remove the old leaves and yellow dandelions, wash the dandelions, and dry them.

Busy and busy, Tie Dan scratched his head again: "Sister, why do you think that this bedwetting grass seems to be a little too much?" ”

There must be a lot, plus the dandelions hidden in the space, there must be three bamboo baskets.

It's just that his younger brother is really discerning, and he can see the slightest bit wrong!

Shen Xiangmiao pinched Tie Dan's little face: "This bedwetting grass is used to exchange for money, what's the matter, you still have too much money?" ”

"Not too much, not too much." Tie Dan hurriedly waved his hand: "Money can buy meat to eat, I definitely don't have too much meat!" ”

Tie Dan's words caused Shen Xiangmiao and Lu Shi to laugh.

The three of them were busy until the end of the day, when they washed all the dandelions, cleaned them up, and went to bed.

Lu Shi was tired for a day, lay down and fell asleep quickly, not to mention Tiedan, at a young age, he was a little snoring, and he was even more dishonest, turning over and over, and putting his arms and legs everywhere.

Shen Xiangmiao put down a leg that fell on her waist, wrapped a thin sheet around the belly exposed by the iron egg, and tiptoed to the courtyard.

According to the current weather, if you want to dry the dandelion until it is completely dry, I am afraid that it will take two or three days, and if there is a rainy day, I am afraid that not only can not dry but will also mold.

Shen Xiangmiao thought about it and felt that drying was still fast and convenient.

Press the switch to set the temperature of one of the storage spaces in the portable kitchen to the right temperature, and then put some dandelions inside.

At high temperatures, drying became unusually easy, and soon, the dried and dehydrated dandelions were made.

Shen Xiangmiao checked it, and the dandelion drying condition was very good, and it was cleaner than the drying one.

Repeat the trick, put all the dandelions in batches, and after about an hour and a half, all the dandelions are dried.

Shen Xiangmiao scattered all the dried dandelions in the yard, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and climbed into bed to sleep.

The next day, Shen Xiangmiao woke up with an itchy nose and a big sneeze.

"Sister, you're awake." Tie Dan saw that Shen Xiangmiao had woken up, and he couldn't close his mouth happily: "Sister, sister, I see that the bedwetting grass outside has been dried, can I take it to the town today to exchange money for meat?" ”

Shen Xiangmiao got up from the bed and rubbed her eyes: "It's all sunburned?" ”

"Well, it's all dried, sister, come out and take a look?" Tie Dan pulled Shen Xiangmiao and walked out without saying anything.
