30 A new way to find medicinal herbs

Mo Ziyun made up her mind to go to the mountain to try to see if she could find medicinal herbs by identifying the smell, so she turned around and helped Song Nanzhi and said, "Grandma, you go back to bed and lie down first, I will definitely come back in a while." ”

Knowing that she was not worried about herself, she reassured: "Grandma don't worry, I'm just going to take a look!" If you look at it, you will come back, and you will definitely not delay cooking too much. After speaking, he winked at Song Nanzhi.

Song Nanzhi looked at her and kept blinking and knew that she wanted to see the medicinal herbs she found yesterday, so she said, "I'll go with you." ”

Mo Ziyun hurriedly shook her head and said: "No, grandma's dizziness is not over yet, it is tiring to walk a few more steps, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, grandma, you are waiting for me at home, I will definitely come back in a while." "Besides, it's not far away, even if I go alone, I'm not afraid."

Song Nanzhi knows that her granddaughter has a big idea now, and besides, she is not in good health now, if she wants to run, she can run out quietly, just like the last time she went to the county, if she doesn't say it, she and her grandfather don't know that she has secretly run to the county, so they won't stop her anymore, and just advise: "Just play at the foot of the mountain, you can't go inside, the road in the mountain is not easy to walk, and you are easy to fall when you go." ”

Seeing that her grandmother agreed, Mo Ziyun promised, "Okay, I definitely won't go inside." ”

Song Nanzhi turned his head to Li Dagang and said, "Dagang, your sister is still young, you run slower on the road and pull your sister to prevent her from falling." ”

Li Dagang also assured: "Okay." I'm sure I'm not going to let her fall. ”

Before the two went out, Mo Ziyun took another sickle and put it in the back basket that Li Dagang was carrying. This time, Li Dagang took care of Mo Ziyun very seriously, and after the two reached the foot of the mountain hand in hand, Li Dagang asked: "Sister Wanyun, what do you want to do when you come to the mountain?" ”

Mo Aster carefully felt the various smells coming from the tip of her nose, felt the changes in the smell under her nose as she walked, and carefully looked at the plants around her every few steps to determine what kind of plants she smelled.

After hearing Li Dagang's words, he raised his head and replied, "I'm here to find medicine!" After speaking, he pointed to a Yin Chen and said, "This is Mugwort Ye." Pursed his lips and couldn't help laughing, he wasn't really fooling the child.

From ancient times to the present, every Dragon Boat Festival, every household will pick or buy calamus, mugwort leaves hung at the door, in addition to hanging at the door, two herbs will also be boiled into water and then bathed to ward off evil. Therefore, these two herbs have been known for a long time, but they are so common that even if they are picked, they can't be sold for much money.

Li Dagang looked at Yin Chen and said excitedly: "I know this, every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother will cut a lot of it and come back to hang it on the door and boil water to take a bath." ”

It's good to know, Mo Ziyun continued: "Yes, Yin Chen has the effect of clearing heat, and it also has the effect of repelling mosquitoes after burning and making sachets. ”

Li Dagang listened to Mo Ziyun's words, and for the first time heard that this leaf could also be used to make sachets, and it could also drive away mosquitoes, which was also amazing. After Mo Ziyun's words, he said: "I will also cut some back, and burn them at night to see if I can drive away the mosquitoes." ”

Mo Ziyun was very happy that he could have such an idea, and immediately encouraged: "Okay, I'll help you cut!" After answering, he said: "That's how it should be, it's not that people believe what they say, but they have to distinguish what they mean." Just like this mugwort leaf, although I said that it has the effect of repelling mosquitoes, but you have not seen it, I don't know if it is true, if you practice it at this time, you will know if it is really as I said. ”

There is only one sickle, not to mention that Li Dagang is much bigger than Mo Ziyun, he should have cut it, let's just say that the child's heart, Li Dagang is interested at this time, and he will not let Mo Ziyun take the sickle to cut the mugwort leaves.

Li Dagang cut the mugwort leaves, Mo Aster continued to walk towards the place where Angelica was found yesterday, smelling the fragrance all the way, when there were still ten steps away from the place where Angelica was found, he stopped, carefully felt the smell from his nose, and continued to walk forward after a while, until he walked to the place where Angelica grows, and then picked the leaves of Angelica and put them in front of his nose to smell, and noted the smell of the leaves, and it will be more convenient to come out to find medicine in the future.

After making sure that the angelica is still there, and keeping in mind the smell of angelica leaves, I walked to the front, stopping every few steps to smell the smell around first, and then looking for some valuable medicinal materials.

People listen to the four directions and see the eight directions, and when it is their turn, they become the nose and the four directions, and the eyes look at the eight directions.

Seeing that Li Dagang was still cutting wormwood, it was definitely not enough to teach him to recognize wormwood, but Angelica can't teach him to recognize it for the time being, not to hide it, the medicinal materials on this mountain are limited, and today he followed himself to the place where Angelica grows.

It's okay to teach, at least you can't teach him until you dig up these dozen or so plants, but if you come across other single herbs for a while, you can teach him to know them first, of course, this doesn't include that Ganoderma lucidum.

After making up her mind, Mo Ziyun walked forward a little further and continued to look around, of course, what was indispensable was to smell while walking.

A quarter of an hour later, Mo Ziyun smelled a familiar smell, stood still and felt the smell wafting over, and after confirming that it was right, he looked for the smell. At the same time, his eyes also carefully looked at every inch of his feet, for fear of missing it, and finally found it at the foot of a rock. After finding it, he didn't make a noise immediately, but looked around again, and only after making sure that there was nothing else did he step forward and pull it off.

When I held Sanqi, I thought that I could pull out all the roots with a gentle pull. But what I didn't expect was to overestimate my ability, in addition to the redness and pain from pulling his hand and tearing off a few leaves, Sanqi was still standing at the foot of the rock. I had no choice but to shout: "Brother Dagang." ”

After hearing this, Li Dagang responded: "What are you calling me to do?" ”

Mo Ziyun replied after Li Dagang's words: "I found the medicinal materials, but I can't pull it, please Brother Dagang, you can help me tear it off." ”

"Here we are." After Mo Ziyun finished speaking, Li Dagang got up and threw the cut mugwort leaves into the back basket, and as soon as the wormwood was lost, he walked towards Mo Ziyun, and when he walked, he looked at the weeds all over the ground and asked, "Pull that?" ”

Mo Ziyun pointed to Sanqi, who had fallen off the leaves that he had ripped and said, "This is it." ”

After speaking, he explained, "This is Panax notoginseng, which has the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, and my grandfather has it in the medicine, please ask Brother Dagang to help me pull it out." He said politely again.

Li Dagang replied again: "Okay." Immediately started to tear it off, although he was older, and his strength was also greater, but in addition to tearing off the stems and leaves, he didn't pull up the Sanqi, Mo Ziyun saw this and hurriedly said: "Brother Dagang, don't pull it first, use a sickle to slowly dig up some soil at the root and then pull it." ”

Thinking that it should grow very deep, and afraid that the sickle would hurt the roots, he reminded again: "You must be slow, don't cut it, the collection of medicinal materials must try to ensure the integrity of the medicinal materials and avoid scratches, if it hurts, it will not be sold at a good price." ”

Scratches and fractures affect the quality of the medicine, and it is not as good as the complete treatment, so it cannot be sold at a good price.

Although the grandfather of this medicine in front of him is in use, the dosage and compatibility of the medicine are only known to the doctor, and this medicine is not a tonic medicinal material, even if it is placed at home, it cannot be used.

Speaking of money, it really has an effect, Li Dagang changed his frizzy temperament after taking the sickle, and slowly dug up the soil at the roots with the tip of the sickle, and after the soil was cut off little by little, the yellow angelica rhizome was gradually exposed.

Mo Ziyun saw that the rhizome of Angelica sinensis was gradually exposed, and commanded: "Slowly planing down the rhizome, be careful, don't hurt the rhizome." ”

Although it was the first time for Li Dagang to do this kind of thing, he did it very seriously, which made Mo Ziyun's opinion of him change slightly.

Li Dagang put down the sickle after digging out a small section and said, "Now you can pull it." ”

Mo Zihua saw that the rhizome was a little thick, and guessed that there should be a long part of the soil, so she said: "Seeing that the roots are still relatively long, it is better to dig up the soil a little more and then pull it, so as not to tear it off again." ”

Li Dagang looked at the exposed rhizome and felt that what she said also made some sense, and should be: "Okay, I'll cut some more." ”

This time, Li Dagang didn't start to tear it off until he had gouged out the entire taprhizome of Angelica, and it didn't take much effort to pull out the entire Sanqi.

After pulling it out, Mo Ziyun asked Li Dagang to take the notoginseng and look at it carefully, "This is notoginseng, which has the effect of stopping bleeding." ”

Although he had memorized all its functions, he was afraid that he would not be able to remember any of them, so he said one before he continued: "In the future, if you have time to come to the mountains, you can look for more, and after you find it, you can take it to the county pharmacy to sell it for money." ”

After speaking, he looked at Sanqi in Li Dagang's hand and said, "But now there is only this one, and I can't buy any money." ”

Li Dagang immediately handed the Sanqi in his hand to Mo Ziyun, and responded: "Okay, next time you want to come up the mountain, I will accompany you again." ”

"Okay, thank you, Brother Dagang." Mo Zi thanked after taking Sanqi. After making sure that she could find the taste and find the medicine, Mo Ziyun was not ready to delay any longer, and said, "Let's go back first, my grandmother is still waiting for me to go back to cook!" ”

Li Dagang: "Okay, I'll carry the basket and we'll go back." ”

On the way back, Mo Ziyun saw a cicada molt on a small bush, walked over and took the cicada off and handed it to Li Dagang and said: "This is the shell of the cicada, and it can also be sold for money, but you have to look for it more to sell it for money." "When I was a child, I didn't catch cicadas to play, so I also know about this cicada.

Li Dagang: "Really? "I never knew that this thing could be sold for money, Li Dagang asked with some disbelief.

Mo Ziyun replied: "Of course it's true, the doctor who treated my grandfather said, and the notoginseng you pulled out just now was also taught to me to recognize, I have written these down, but it's a pity that you don't know how to read, otherwise I can show you the notes I wrote down."

After Mo Ziyun's words, Li Dagang continued: "Our family has no money and can't afford to pay for me to study." There was a hint of loneliness in the words.
