He Mi and Hou Yuhua were both interested when they heard Han Li say this, after all, everyone could only rest for a few more days at most, and it would be good if they could go up the mountain to take a walk during this period, but before the two of them could speak, they heard Han Li's question again.

"By the way, what day is it, if it doesn't come to the day, you can't collect that kind of thing."

"Today is the Jiayin year of the lunar calendar. DING Maoyue. The day of the Lunar New Year, the tenth day of the third month, and the second day of April in the Gregorian calendar. ”

"Sister He, how do you remember it so clearly? I'm having a messy day now. ”

He Mi heard Hou Yuhua ask like this, was silent for a while, and said in a somewhat low tone.

"Because the day after tomorrow is the thirteenth day of March of the lunar calendar, and the fifth day of April of the Gregorian calendar is the Qingming Festival, and I want to burn paper for my grandmother on that day."

Hou Yuhua hurriedly apologized when he saw that he had asked the wrong question, and Han Li also took the opportunity to throw out another topic to divert He Mi's attention.

"If you count it according to this day, I'm afraid I won't be able to bring you with me when I go up the mountain to collect things this time, or spring sowing will start in the village in a few days, which just coincides with the time I collected things.

However, after the spring sowing is completed, the seedlings will not grow immediately, there will be a few days of rest in between, when the trees on the mountain will sprout green shoots, wild vegetables, wild flowers will all emerge, the scenery here will be very, very beautiful, at that time we can go to the green, enjoy the scenery, picnic, catch snow clams, fishing, in short, we have a good time for two days. ”

Han Li's topic diverted their attention, Hou Yuhua was quite happy at first, but then she thought about the next few days, the bitterness on her face was very obvious, because she had to work in the field for a long time before this spring outing, and then thinking about the farm work that was barely heavy in everyone's mouths in the past two days, she suddenly felt very powerless.

.

At this time, the biting cold wind in the sky became gentle, no longer piercing, but with a trace of tenderness.

However, the temperature is still not high, it belongs to the kind of situation where people are frozen but not water, and all the snow is slowly melting.

The ice in the creek is already very thin, and the children of the village have lost their skating paradise.

However, they switched to smashing the ice with rocks to listen to the sound, but this kind of game is boring after all.

They would break some willow branches, twist off the bark to make a "whoop", and blow it all over the streets.

It didn't take long for this small river, where many children came to play every day, to be thrown into the cold palace and become very quiet.

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet, at this time you can often see the shadow of some migratory birds in the sky.

I can hear some birdsong every day, and it looks like spring returns to the earth and everything is revived.

After cleaning out a series of debris such as corn whiskers and sorghum roots in the field two days ago, Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang would carry an iron rod to the field every day to check the thawing situation.

The black soil here is very fertile, and when the soil thaws about 5 to 10 centimeters, you can apply fertilizer, plough the land, and sow seeds.

However, the most important contribution to this process is the cattle in the village, so they have been adding food for the past few days.

During this time, Zhang Yaozu gained almost every day, and Zhang Xiangjun was also brought into the ranks of the next set.

Han Li was summoned to the county seat, and this time he went mainly for a meeting, and the hygienists were asked to do a good job of spring epidemic prevention.

Conscientiously implement the "two pipes and five reforms" in place, especially those villages that have begun to raise pigs individually.

(The two pipes are water pipes and manure pipes, and the five changes refer to the improvement of water sources, kitchens, toilets, livestock pens and the environment.) ）

In particular, in order to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases and parasitic diseases, it is necessary to detect and report them as early as possible, and absolutely not allow the situation to spread.

In the end, each hygienist was given some medicines and utensils, and received a lot of bleaching powder and lime powder slivers.

Bleaching powder should be put into drinking water, and lime powder should be used for toilets and cortives.

After Han Li returned from the county seat, the bleaching powder was directly poured into the two wells in the village.

As for the lime powder strips, they will be handed over to the village committee, and the village will send a car to pull them back, except for the pigsty in the village, the rest will be distributed to the villagers who raise pigs.

Han Li calculated the time, and then explained to his wives and took the two lynx into the mountain, and some people said that this was the best time to dig up some rhizome herbs and not miss it.

In fact, Han Li's going into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs this time was one thing, because the quality of these medicinal herbs was very high, and it was a good choice for both personal use and storage

But Han Li's main purpose this time was to collect birch sap, a colorless or yellowish liquid released from the birch tree.

Birch sap can only be collected once a year, and can be collected in the spring when the birch trees are returning to green and filling.

And its collection time is very short, only about half a month, in the middle of April to the beginning of May in the solar calendar.

Birch sap is recognized as a nutritious physiological active water in the world, it is rich in dozens of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins needed by the human body, known as "magic sap".

Birch sap is known as the "Queen of the Forest" and "Liquid Bread" in our Chinese people, and is included in the medical canon.

It is known as the "forest drink" in Northern Europe and the "water of life" in the lighthouse country.

He is known as the "blood scavenger" in the Maple Leaf Country, and is known as the "protector of human health" on the small day.

During the Victorian period, the Queen of Great Britain consumed a large amount of birch sap to prevent her hair from thinning, which later became one of the official drinks of the royal family.

On the Polar Bear Empire, it is known as "Polar Bear Holy Water", "Natural Beer", and "Tree Blood".

In addition, the birch tree is also a symbol of the polar bear empire, and has been revered by the old hairy people since ancient times.

Because in ancient times, the people on the side of polar bears generally used birch wood for heating, twigs to feed cattle, trunks and bark to make household items, plates, decorations, children's toys, storage boxes and amulets, and birch branches to make bath brooms. Wait a minute.

Written accounts of polar bears originate from birch flakes and birch bark, and birch branches are also used as mystical religious utensils.

They believe that the energy of the tree is closer to that of women, so young girls dance in circles around the birch tree, begging for help and protection.

Moreover, the ancestors of polar bears believed that birch sap was the source of life, and they collected the sap in special containers made of birch trees, believing that the beneficial effects of birch sap were preserved in such containers for a longer time, and at that time the witch doctors of polar bears also widely used birch sap to cure diseases.

It wasn't until the 30s of the 20th century that an official of a polar bear visited the lighthouse country and found that they were drinking orange juice.

There was no such thing in their country, so they began to vigorously promote birch sap drinks, which became popular in many countries.

Later, after more scientific testing, birch sap is rich in sodium, potassium, amino acids, iron, manganese and other trace elements, as well as natural vitamins B1 and B12 that are beneficial to the human body.

Birch sap strengthens the body's resistance to infectious diseases and has an anti-inflammatory effect on mucus in the gastrointestinal tract.

Birch sap can help treat diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract, has the effect of expectorant and strengthens physical fitness.

Regular consumption of birch sap purifies the blood, maintains the liver, and removes harmful substances accumulated in the blood due to infectious diseases, such as fat, alcohol, and virus residues. Wait a minute.

Especially in the spring when you are sleepy, depressed, and distracted, a glass of birch sap every day has a good effect.

However, birch sap is not for anyone to drink, like some allergy sufferers and kidney stone sufferers need to pay attention to one point.

.

How could Han Li miss such a good thing, he wanted to stock up on some birch sap while he was still here.

However, when Han Li climbed halfway up the mountain, he immediately felt that even if there was no birch sap, it would be worth it for him to come out this time.

During this time, the color of the willow trees slowly changes from dark red to crimson, and it flies like a sunset under the white snow.

In early spring and March, ten miles long red makeup.

Moreover, hairy dogs had already grown on many willow tops, which reminded Han Li of a poem he didn't know where he had read.

I think it's a red bean branch, and the branches are full of acacia.

Sijun is like a human eye, with long hair on the lid of the eye.

At this time, some green coptis grass and red azaleas have appeared intermittently in this ice and snow.

In the icy and snowy land, the clusters of green and purple cabbage are Coptis chinensis, and the red, brilliant, pink and tender azaleas are the rhododendrons.

Although their numbers are still very small and few, they have already brought the breath of spring to this cold and lonely land.

Rhododendron is also known as Manshan Red and Yingshan Red, but the locals prefer to call it Primrose.

Also known as the Ice Princess, the azalea sprouts in the winter snow and blooms in the spring cold, and when all the other plants turn green, the ice princess will quietly disappear and change into a green dress to blend into this sea of green.

After refining Coptis Grass, it can clear away heat and dampness, relieve fire and detoxify, and when Han Li finds out, he will pick up some good quality and put them away, almost letting it continue to decorate the mountains and fields here, and then pick them when the time is right, anyway, no one will take them as wild vegetables to eat.

Han Li hurried quickly on the hillside, the sparrows still exploring his way ahead, and the two lynx were always circling around him.

At this time, many beasts have already woken up from hibernation, and it is absolutely not okay if you are not careful.

Especially the blind bear, it woke up at this time with a similar purpose to Han Li.

When blind bears wake up from hibernation, they usually drink birch sap, a ready-made food, to replenish their physical deprivation due to hibernation.

And Han Li's method of collecting birch sap was not suitable for others to see, so he could only rush into the deep mountains one by one, which increased the chance of meeting the blind bear.

Han Li had seen a video in his previous life that when collecting birch sap, he needed an electric drill, a section of infusion tube or rubber tube, and a clean bottle.

Use an electric drill to drill a hole in the tree and insert a tube into it, with the other end of the tube connected to the bottle.

The electric drill could be replaced with other tools, but the infusion tube and bottle Han Li only had a little bit, which was simply not enough for him to collect a large amount of birch sap.

Therefore, Han Li planned to use the dismantling to create a birch sap collector that combined wooden pipes and barrels, although this thing was not too complicated, it could not let others see that there were so many of them.

As Han Li shuttled through the mountains and forests, the birds in the trees and the faint chirping of deer in the distance refreshed him, and even in the middle of running, he couldn't help but let out a long howl.

"Ahh

And at this time, the leader Liu at the wilderness station received a phone call, and there was a voice that he hadn't heard for a long time.

"Haha. Lao Liu, I'm Gao Hu, it's really not easy to talk to you on the phone once, and you have to turn the line at least four times in the middle. ”
