Chapter 488: Picking lotus seeds
At noon, Zhang Taiping made several dishes by himself, one of which was made of glutinous rice cake. The reason why he chose to eat it at noon was because the glutinous rice cake was heavy and difficult to digest, and eating it at night would hurt the stomach.
There is a dish called glutinous rice cake fish, but when Zhang Taiping made it, he replaced the fish with rice eel. This is mainly because glutinous rice is yin in nature and difficult to digest, while rice eel is fire in nature, which can offset the negative effects of glutinous rice on the stomach.
It also adds sugar-roasted eggplant, braised pork with potatoes, fried pork with lotus root and fungus, and light fish soup to form four dishes and one soup.
Sugar-roasted eggplant is braised with honey and eggplant together. Because honey contains a high sugar content, due to the characteristics of sugar, the cooked eggplant has red sugar shreds on it. Not only does it not taste like eggplant in the past,
The soft texture has a crispy and fragrant feeling.
The potatoes in Potato Braised Pork are fresh potatoes dug out of the ground, and the meat is wild boar meat preserved in space. Although they are both pork, there is a big difference between wild boar meat and domestic pork. Wild boar meat is almost invisible.
Fatty meat is basically all lean meat. According to Yaya, it is dark meat. Only children will eat the braised pork cooked in this way. If it is that kind of oily fat meat, only Zhang Taiping and the old man will eat it.
Chopsticks.
The lotus root in the fried meat slices with lotus root and fungus was dug out by Fan Ming a few mornings from the pond near the hillside. Although Zhang Taiping sowed a lot of lotus seeds in the pond at that time, there was no sign of malnutrition.
, each one grows very vigorously, and from the leaves that are nearly twice the size of ordinary lotus leaves, it can be estimated that the lotus roots below must be extraordinary. All of this is inseparable from the space spring water that Zhang Taiping needs to put in every once in a while.
Open.
Fan Ming had nothing to do in the morning. He and Wukong rowed a boat and wandered in the pond. When they saw the ripe lotus seeds, they picked them. Finally, with the attitude of giving it a try, they found a shallow place by the pond to use.
I dug with a shovel, and unexpectedly I actually dug out lotus roots. They were as thick as a child's arm, not very thick, but it was pretty good that the edges had grown to this extent.
The last soup was very light, using only a small fish, with a few day lilies floating on top, which looked very good.
This day lily was also picked by Fan Ming and grew on the edge of the pond. This thing is suitable for growing in a place with sufficient moisture. In addition, there are sufficient nutrients in the pond, so the flowers bloom are particularly large and the bright yellow color is also very beautiful.
Brightly colored, one after another spreads out on the soup surface.
The family was eating around the table when Wang Gui came over.
Cai Yazhi quickly stood up and said, "Brother Wang Gui, let's sit down and have something to eat."
Wang Gui shook his head and said: "The food at home is ready, I'll come over and tell the commander something."
After seeing that Wang Gui refused to take his seat in every possible way, Zhang Taiping stood up and went to the courtyard with Wang Gui.
Wang Gui was the first to take out a cigarette and light it for the two of them. He said, "I have already contacted an expert who raises wild boars and plan to go there tomorrow to have a look. Will you go?"
"Go, of course." Zhang Taiping said with a smile, "I have been reading information online these days, but I didn't expect you to have contacted me."
"Haha, an old friend of mine." Wang Gui shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"Where?" Zhang Taiping asked.
"It's in Hu County. It's not very far. If we travel quickly, we can make a round trip in one day."
"Then let's go together tomorrow morning. Who else is going besides the two of us?"
Wang Gui shook his head: "I haven't asked yet. I'll ask later."
"Okay, if you can, call as many people as you can and take them out to see them." Zhang Taiping nodded, "How many days do you plan to leave tomorrow?"
Wang Gui nodded: "Let's meet in my courtyard at five o'clock. If you go early, you can come back early."
"Okay, then it's settled."
After talking about the matter, Wang Gui was about to turn around and leave.
Zhang Taiping said from behind: "Wait a minute."
Wang Gui stopped and turned around. Zhang Taiping entered the room and came out again after a while. He held the plastic bag in his hand and handed it to Wang Gui and said, "Take it back and give it to the baby."
Wang Guidai opened the bag, looked at it and asked, "What is this?"
"Haha, Ciba."
"糍粑?"
Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "Yes, but it's not the potato glutinous rice cake that we often eat in the mountains, but the glutinous rice glutinous rice cake from other places. I soaked some glutinous rice and made it into glutinous rice cake this morning. It tastes completely different from our potato glutinous rice cake.
, you can take it back and try it out."
"Haha, let's try it." Wang Gui put away the bag and patted Zhang Taiping's arm.
Returning to the dinner table, Cai Yazhi did not ask anything, but the old man asked: "What does Xiaogui want from you?" Obviously the old man knew what Wang Gui had done before.
Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "It's a matter in the village. Half of the money from selling the golden nanmu last time was left in the village. The village is going to use part of it to build a pig farm and raise some wild boars. He is here.
We are discussing this matter and plan to go to pig raising experts from other places tomorrow to learn some experience."
"The pig farm... is a good choice for people in the mountains." Although the old man doesn't go out often, he has a good understanding of the outside world.
Cai Yazhi asked at this time: "Where can I go to see it? Is it far?"
Zhang Taiping said: "I'm in Hu County and will leave tomorrow morning."
"Where is Hu County?" The farthest place Cai Yazhi has ever been is probably inside the city of Xi'an. This happened nearly a year ago. Before, she had only been to the town. The rest of the time she had been to the mountains, except for Chang'an County where she was located.
And the neighboring Lantian County, naturally they have no idea about other districts and counties under their jurisdiction. Most people in the mountains are like this.
Hearing her question, Zhang Taiping didn't laugh at her for being ignorant, but felt a sense of guilt and pity in his heart. He secretly made up his mind to take her outside when he was free, so that she could see and appreciate the world outside.
A glimpse of the magnificent mountains and rivers elsewhere.
He said: "It's not very far. You can go there in the morning and come back in the evening."
Cai Yazhi nodded and said nothing more, but Fan Ming said wisely: "Hey, brother, take me with you."
Next to her, Mu Hongyu, who had returned from the city two days ago, also had a trace of yearning for her fate in her eyes, but she understood her actual situation and made no demands.
Zhang Taiping did not agree to Fan Ming's request: "This time I am not going to visit the mountains and rivers, but to visit a pig farm. It is not destined to be a prosperous place. Think of a big pig farm."
Where can it be built? Either in the suburbs or at the foot of the mountain. And after seeing it in the past, I rushed back right away. Most of the time was spent on the road, and there was nothing interesting."
After hearing this, Fan Ming had no choice but to give up.
After the meal, Zhang Taiping said to Cai Yazhi: "Although glutinous rice cakes are good, eating too much will hurt your stomach. We can't eat so much. Later, you can give it to Xiao Yu'er and Tang Li opposite.
Some."
"Yes, I understand." Cai Yazhi nodded, "You can take some to Lu Feng when you send Yaya to school later."
In the afternoon, Zhang Taiping rowed a boat and led Fan Ming and Wukong to swim in the pond, picking all the ripe lotus seeds.
Speaking of which, lotus seeds are a good thing. They can be dried and eaten raw, or they can be made into porridge. The most famous and common one is Tremella lotus seed porridge.
Tremella and lotus seed porridge can nourish yin, moisten the lungs, nourish the stomach, replenish qi, nourish the brain, and strengthen the heart. It is not only suitable for all women and children, and those who are weak after illness, but also has good skin rejuvenation and beauty effects for women.
Favored by women who love beauty.
Lotus seeds are also a kind of medicinal material. The biggest and most useful one is to treat excessive dreams, insomnia or poor sleep quality, which is beneficial to sleep.
The only bad thing is not to eat too much, because it is an alkaline substance that can have the same effect as persimmons. Eating too much will cause constipation.
After eating mature lotus seeds, some immature lotus pods are also very valuable, because the lotus seed heart can be removed from these immature lotus seeds to make a rare but precious lotus seed heart tea.
Lotus seed heart is the green germ in the center of the lotus seed. It tastes bitter and has the effects of clearing away heat, fixing essence, calming the nerves and strengthening the heart. Soaking 2 grams of lotus seed heart in boiling water and drinking it can treat irritability, confusion and nocturnal emission caused by high fever.
It is also used to treat high blood pressure, heart palpitations and insomnia.
The most surprising thing in the world is that eating too much lotus seeds can cause constipation, but drinking lotus seed cores with water can cure constipation. Historical records indicate that Emperor Qianlong always used lotus leaf dew to prepare lotus seed cores every time he visited his summer resort.
Tea is used to nourish the mind, improve the mind, adjust vitality, clear the heart fire and detoxify. The so-called clearing the heart fire and detoxifying here is an elegant way of saying it, but it actually treats constipation and acne.
"When picking lotus flowers in Nantang in autumn, the lotus flowers are as tall as people's heads; when you lower your head to pick up lotus seeds, the lotus seeds are as clear as water."
While picking lotus seeds, Fan Ming suddenly sang these lines, which immediately surprised Zhang Taiping.
This is a poem from Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties, called "Xizhou Song". It describes the pain of a young woman missing her lover. "Lotus" is a homophone of "Lianzi", which means loving you. "Bow your head and play with lotus" means loving you.
Love is as pure and loyal as water, and lasts forever. At first glance, it seems that this is a poem about the scene of picking lotus. It turns out that the author used a pun to express the lovesickness of the lotus picker.
Seeing Zhang Taiping's surprised expression, Fan Ming raised her head proudly and said, "How about it? Does it sound good? This is a lotus-picking song I learned online, but it's a pity that it only has four lines."
Seeing her acting like this, Zhang Taiping realized that she had not understood the true meaning of this poem at all, but only saw the superficial meaning.
He smiled in relief and said, "But it sounds good."
This is not a compliment to Zhang Taiping. Although what Fan Ming sings is not the emotion that the poem originally intended to express, her singing voice is good, like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate, and like a winter spring that is tinkling unconsciously, which makes people feel better.
Suddenly he became cheerful and had an innocent flavor.
Hearing Zhang Taiping's sincere praise, Fan Ming immediately burst into laughter, and her crisp voice was like a wind chime bathed in the breeze, floating above the pond with green leaves in the sky.
Mu Hongyu, who was sitting on the edge of the pond, only had an expression of envy in her eyes. She also yearned for the situation of boating on the blue sea and laughing wantonly. However, the reality was cruel. She could only sit in a wheelchair and watch, with envy and sadness in her eyes.
I don’t know whether my legs will fit or be cured, or even whether there is any hope of being cured.
Fu Hongtao, who was behind her, looked at the sadness in Mu Hongyu's eyes and felt unbearable in her heart. Although the two were not related by blood, she had always treated Mu Hongyu as her own sister.
He said comfortingly: "Mr. Zhang's medical skills are great, and he will definitely be able to cure your leg. Then you can do whatever you want, go where you want, and do whatever you want."
Hearing Fu Hongtao's words, Mu Hongyu covered up the sadness in his eyes, with a bright smile on his face and said: "Well, after my leg is cured, we will just climb the smallest mountain. I heard that the top of the mountain
There is a hawthorn tree on top, which looks like burning flames in autumn, which is very beautiful."
Zhang Taiping and his two men wandered aimlessly in the lake, going where there were many lotus pods. They collected a large basket of lotus pods in two hours.
Finally, Fan Ming lost patience and peeled off a lotus seed and said, "I won't pick any anymore. These are almost done."
Zhang Taiping smiled and nodded. Most of the lotus seeds that looked older today were picked. The unripe lotus seeds with more good intentions need to wait for a while before they can be picked. It's not that you can't pick them now, but that you can pick them now.
The lotus seeds inside may not be fully grown yet, and the lotus seeds peeled out are not full.
After landing on the shore, Zhang Taiping placed a basket of lotus pods in the yard.
Cai Yazhi asked: "How do you get this insight?" There are not many opportunities to see lotus pods in places where water is scarce in the north. Naturally, there are no places where lotus flowers grow in these ravines. Cai Yazhi has naturally never seen this thing.
.
Zhang Taiping said: "Just peel off the lotus pod and take out the lotus seeds inside."
With nothing to do in the afternoon, a group of women at home sat around and began to peel the lotus seeds and put them in a basin. The green lotus seeds were particularly attractive, and Fan Ming ate them while peeling them, like eating peanuts.
Zhang Taiping didn't dare to let her eat too much. Although this thing looks a bit similar to peanuts, its effects are definitely different. Peanuts contain a lot of oil, so you don't have to worry about the consequences of constipation. They also have many benefits. You can eat them.
Eat it with an open stomach. But this lotus seed is an alkaline substance. Eating too much will definitely cause a lack of water and fat in the body, leading to constipation. This is especially terrible for a girl.
"Don't eat too much." Zhang Taiping reminded.
"Brother, have we become stingy?"
Zhang Taiping was angry and funny. He pointed at her and said, "Don't be ignorant of good people's hearts. I am doing this for your own good. Do you know the consequences of eating too many persimmons?"
"Of course I know."
"This thing has the same effect as persimmons." Zhang Taiping glanced at her and said.
"Ah?" Fan Ming stopped bringing a white lotus seed to his mouth, and his face turned a little pale. "It's true, brother, don't lie to me."
"Why did you lie to me?"
"Ah! This is not going to be good." Fan Ming quickly put the lotus seeds in her hand into the basin with a sad face.
Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's okay if you eat a little, as long as you don't eat a lot."
"But the problem is that I have been eating since the afternoon, and I have really eaten a lot." Fan Ming almost cried when she saw it.
"Um, then you should wish yourself well." Zhang Taiping turned around and walked towards the pond on the mountainside.
Fan Ming hurriedly ran towards the back room, probably asking the old man for a prescription. If a girl was constipated, it would be really embarrassing to take it.
ps: Please give me flowers!
