portable space

The girls at home, big and small, and the little children in the village came back, and they were all counting the things in their baskets in the yard.

Wukong jumped into the house and went straight to the kitchen. He scooped up a ladle of cold water and drank it. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that he was thirsty outside.

After Wukong, a group of children also prepared to drink cold water, but Zhang Taiping stopped him. Instead, he took out a big watermelon from the refrigerator and killed it and distributed it to the children.

When they were all eating watermelon, Zhang Taiping asked Yaya: "What are you doing?"

Yaya swallowed a mouthful of watermelon and said, "Let's go to the edge of the mountain to pick honeysuckle." Then she handed the small basket behind her to Zhang Taiping to see.

Zhang Taiping first wiped the watermelon seeds off her face with his thumb, and then looked at the small basket she handed over. Inside was half a basket of two to three centimeters long toothpick-shaped sticks, which were honeysuckle.

"It's honeysuckle," Zhang Taiping remembered a short story about honeysuckle and said to the children in the room, "Here is a story related to honeysuckle. Do you want to listen to it?"

"Yes!" "Yes!" The two little girls Tiantian and Yaya raised their hands first, and Fan Ming next to them was also attracted. The little dolls who were nibbling the sweet and cold watermelon also slowed down and watched.

Hold him.

Zhang Taiping smiled and started talking: It is said that during the process of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Huo, most of the soldiers were unaccustomed to the climate and were affected by the mountain miasma. After passing through a small village, he saw that the villagers were yellow, hungry and thin, and Zhuge Liang suddenly felt compassion.

, distributed military rations to the rescue. The villagers were very grateful. When an indigenous white-haired old man learned that many Shu soldiers were suffering from "pyretic disease", he called his twin granddaughters: "Golden Flower, Silver Flower, you go

Collect a few baskets of fairy medicine to solve the problem for the Shu army." However, three days later, the sisters have not returned. People searched in many ways, and on a cliff, they saw two medicine baskets full of herbs. There were footprints of wild wolves and signs on the sides of the baskets.

Torn clothes and shoes...

The soldiers of the Shu army were saved after taking the herbal medicine, but Jinhua and Yinghua sacrificed their lives for it. In order to commemorate them, people called the flowers of this herb "honeysuckle".

"Ah! They are so pitiful." Yaya's face was filled with sadness when she heard this, and her eyes seemed to be filled with mist.

This was something Zhang Taiping had not expected, and he quickly comforted him: "This is just a story and cannot be taken seriously."

Compared to Yaya, the boy was more focused on the war that Zhang Taiping just mentioned. As soon as he finished speaking, a boy asked: "Uncle, what is the story of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Huo?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "This is something from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". You can go back and ask your parents to buy you such a book or watch TV." In his concept, there is nothing short of watching the Three Kingdoms.

I never read the saying about Water Margin.

Just like what Zhang Taiping told Yaya, it was just a story that could not be taken seriously. The origin of the name honeysuckle has long been unverifiable.

According to relevant literature, honeysuckle has been cultivated in my country for more than 2,200 years. As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, the traditional Chinese medicine treatise "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" contains information about Lonicera japonica, saying that it "does not wither in the coldest winter"; Duan Ke, a poet from the Jin Dynasty, wrote Said: "There are vines, egrets and vines, which are innately non-human. Among the golden flowers are silver stamens, which are green and self-contained."

So honeysuckle is also called honeysuckle. Honeysuckle is a semi-evergreen shrub with semi-rambling stems, oval leaves, and trumpet-shaped flowers. It is white when it first blooms, and then gradually turns to yellow. Some people say that this is the name of "honeysuckle".

origin.

The stems, leaves and flowers of honeysuckle can be used as medicine and have detoxification, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, bactericidal, diuretic and antipruritic effects. It has strong effects on carbuncle, intestinal abscess and lung abscess, clearing away heat and detoxifying.

Simply brewing honeysuckle is cold in nature and has the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying and dispersing wind-heat. It can treat summer fever, diarrhea, influenza, sores, boils, acute and chronic tonsillitis, periodontitis and other diseases.

Of course, not everyone is suitable for taking honeysuckle at all times.

It has cold medicinal properties and is not suitable for long-term drinking. It is only suitable for temporary drinking in hot summer to prevent and treat dysentery. It is particularly important to remind people with weak and cold constitutions and during menstruation that they cannot drink it, otherwise, adverse reactions may occur. I feel like I am getting angry.

It's better to drink it only, but drinking too much will be counterproductive.

In addition to its medicinal value, honeysuckle can also be used to make tea. Honeysuckle tea is a new health-care tea. The tea soup is aromatic, sweet and delicious, and is popular in domestic and foreign markets. Regular drinking of this tea can clear away heat and detoxify, stimulate menstruation and activate collaterals, and provide skin care and beauty.

The effect of.

There are two kinds of honeysuckle tea in the market. One is honeysuckle tea made by mixing fresh honeysuckle and a small amount of green tea and scented according to the honeysuckle tea scenting process; the other is honeysuckle dried or sun-dried and mixed with green tea.

These two kinds of honeysuckle tea are made together. The former has a strong floral fragrance and is mainly used for appreciating flowers; the latter has a lower tea fragrance, but can maintain the medicinal effect of honeysuckle without losing its health care effect. Honeysuckle tea is popular among both young and old.

It is a health drink suitable for everyone, especially in summer.

There are also many things to pay attention to when brewing and tasting honeysuckle tea.

For high-end honeysuckle tea, it is not only drinking, but also the process of viewing. Use boiled water to slightly cool it to about 90°C to brew, and then add a lid to the cup to prevent the aroma from dissipating; hold the tea tray in your hand and face the light, through the glass

On the wall of the cup, observe the tea dancing up and down in the water, rising and falling, and the changing process of the tea leaves slowly unfolding, restoring the leaf shape, and exuding the color of the tea juice. "A cup of small world, the feelings of mountains, rivers, flowers and trees" can be called artistic enjoyment, and is called "eyepiece"

.

When the tea soup is slightly cool and palatable, drink it in small sips, stay in your mouth for a while, inhale through the mouth and exhale through the nose, so that the tea soup flows back and forth on the tongue once or twice, fully contacting the taste buds, and tasting the flavor of the tea and the soup.

Only after swallowing the fragrance once or twice can you taste the true fragrance of precious honeysuckle tea. The taste is intoxicating, just as Fan Zhongyan, a Song Dynasty man, said in his tea song, "the taste of tea is now light and refreshing" and "the fragrance of tea is thin."

"Lan Zang". Comprehensive appreciation of the unique tea flavor and fragrance of honeysuckle tea is called "mouth tasting".

There is a saying among the people that "one sip is for drinking, three sips is for tasting". Only when you sip carefully can the taste be revealed. After drinking the tea, add boiling water after one third of the soup is left to make the second drink. If you drink three sips,

The taste of the tea has faded, no more drinking. After smelling and tasting the three tea soups, you can comprehensively appreciate the palatability of the tea flavor and the freshness, concentration and purity of the aroma. The tea with the three aromas is called "full aroma", and the tea shape is

The honeysuckle tea with the best taste and aroma is a high-quality, famous and treasured tea.

For brewing, mid-range honeysuckle tea does not emphasize the appearance of the tea embryo. You can cover the cup with white porcelain. After brewing with 100°C boiling water, cover the cup and smell the aroma and taste the tea after 5 minutes. This type of honeysuckle tea has a fragrant aroma and a mellow taste.

, Sankai has a tea flavor and is resistant to brewing.

To brew medium and low-grade honeysuckle tea, or honeysuckle tea powder, which is called "high tea powder" in the north, white porcelain teapots are generally used. Because there is more water in the pot, the heat preservation is better than that of the cup, which is conducive to fully brewing the tea flavor. It depends on the size of the teapot and the number of tea drinkers.

, the taste is strong or light, put an appropriate amount of tea into the pot, pour it into the pot with 100℃ initial boiling water, put the lid on the pot, wait for 5 minutes, then pour it into the cup and drink. This method of brewing and drinking together is convenient and hygienic.

Then the family gets together, or friends and relatives sit around, drink tea, and talk about home affairs, which makes them more harmonious and adds to the atmosphere of unity, friendship, and harmony.

Zhang Taiping had ordered some honeysuckle tea by mail on Taobao before, and he knew this very clearly.

Turning to Fan Ming, he asked, "When did you pick these honeysuckle flowers?"

Whenever summer and autumn come, there are this kind of climbing plants in the mountains and hills of the northern and southern provinces of my country. They bloom with yellow and white flowers. When they bloom, they are pure white at first, and then turn yellow. They are very beautiful. You can see them everywhere. It is not very valuable, but collecting this flower is very particular. It must be picked in the early morning on a sunny day when the dew has just dried, and it must be dried in the sun or shade in time, so that the medicinal effect will be better. Therefore, Zhang Taiping asked this question.

Fan Ming thought for a while and replied: "We picked them before the sun came out. At that time, there was still dew on them, which wetted the sleeves, but it has dried now."

After hearing what she said, Zhang Taiping came up with the idea of ​​keeping these honeysuckles to make honeysuckle tea, and asked the children who were eating watermelon: "Are you going to sell these honeysuckles?"

Children in the mountains will collect some herbs of one kind or another in the mountains during summer vacation and sell them to pharmacies in the town in exchange for some pocket money. Honeysuckle is one of them, but they don’t know how much this thing is worth.

Most parents don't understand either, so they are often cheated by pharmacies in the town and only get a small part of the money. Even so, they still enjoy it happily.

"Well, sell it! Uncle, do you want it?" asked an older boy, and the other dolls nodded and looked at him. Selling it to him is naturally the best thing, just like the apricot kernels a few times before.

Just like Cicada Shell, they don't need to make a trip to the town.

Generally, artificially planted honeysuckle costs about eighty or ninety yuan per kilogram, and the good ones can cost hundreds. The children's honeysuckle is picked in the wild before the morning sun comes out and is soaked in morning dew. He plans to pay one hundred yuan for it.

price calculation.

"I'll give it to you based on the price of fifty yuan per catty."

Basically every child carried a small basket or cloth bag, some of which weighed two or three, so in the end each child received an amount ranging from ten to twenty yuan.

"So much money?" A large group of children were a little surprised when they took the money in their hands. When they sold it to the drug store in the town, the total amount was only twenty or thirty yuan. In the end, it was divided equally and it was only one or two yuan each.

Someone with a bright mind immediately asked: "Uncle handsome, will you still collect honeysuckle in the future?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "Collect, I will collect as much as you pick, but it must be honeysuckle with dew on it before the sun comes out, otherwise the money will be less."

A group of children were beaming with joy, nodding their heads like chickens pecking at rice.

ps: Please give me flowers.
