Chapter 1946 Processing
Going uphill, there is no need to dismount and lead the horse on foot. Jike Azi rides on the big green horse and leads the horses on a zigzag walk on the hillside. In a short while, they reach the pine forest and Come up on an old road between broadleaf forests.
We walked back to the west, and in the afternoon the sun was shining from the opposite direction. Fortunately, Zhou Zhi was prepared in advance and gave everyone a soft-brimmed cloth hat.
"I found that Brother Elbow is very well prepared. Have you often played like this before?" Jike Azi asked: "There are so many equipments, and they feel light and useful."
Actually, Zhou Zhi has had this hobby in both lives, but now there is no shortage of money, even now If you don’t have the equipment, you can also ask Su Datou to customize it. Of course, Zhou Zhi will not be at a disadvantage: “There is also a virgin forest in my hometown. I used to go to the mountains with my classmates to play, but the conditions were worse at that time, so I just brought a piece of equipment with me. Plastic sheets and rice and flour cans are often stored in farmhouses.”
"Compared with here, the scenery is still a little worse, and we don't see so many animal species. We still go on foot, and at most we take a car to the forest farm. It's impossible to have an experience like horseback riding, but it's still fun."
“Are there mushrooms, bracken, deer ears and leeks there too?” Jike Azi asked.
"Well... there are mushrooms, but some are hard to find. Bracken is often mixed with edible and inedible things, which is also hard to find. I have almost never seen deer ears and leeks." Zhou Zhi said: " However, there are wild onions, folded ear roots, and most of all, various bamboo shoots. In summer, there are also sour plums. There are also many farmers who have moved out of the mountains. We can also pick the fruit trees around the old house.”
Thinking of those happy times in the past, Zhou Zhi’s mood was actually a little different before today, but now that he thought about it again, Zhou Zhi suddenly realized that. The sorrow and sadness of the past have faded away, but it is now a pleasure to re-experience those precious moments in the past.
"If you have the chance, you are welcome to visit my hometown." Looking at Mai Xiaomiao's soft-brimmed hat in front of her, Ah Zi helped her comb her two braids, following the sun. The horse's progress was up and down, and Zhou Zhi suddenly felt that this moment was beautiful. He raised his camera and looked at the slender light and shadow in front of him: "Xiao Miao."
"Ah?" Mai Xiaomiao turned her head as far as possible: "What?"
"It's okay. I just think the light and shadow are very beautiful now. I'll take a photo for you." Zhou Zhi did not put down the camera.
Then Mai Xiaomiao in the camera smiled. Zhou Zhi knew that this moment would come, and quickly clicked the shutter again.
It was almost dusk, and everyone finally returned to the grain station when their soft-brimmed hats could not block the sunlight from shining into their eyes.
"You're back? Did you have fun?" Gillette Abi came out to greet everyone.
"It's so comfortable, blessed land." Zhou Zhi jumped off the horse with a smile, and reached out to help Mai Xiaomiao get off the horse: "If it weren't for the fact that I had to send Ah Zi and Sha Ma to school and work tomorrow, I would have wanted to stay a few more days."
< br>"Waiting for Yi It’s the National Year, we have five full days off this year!”
It’s actually three days, but it happens to fall on the weekend. The Yi area has one more Yi year and one Torch Festival than the Han area, which is quite enviable. thing.
"Yes, if the villagers need anything during the New Year, please ask Uncle Tu to organize it and make a list. We will buy it for everyone when we go to the state." Wu Renzhong, a township cadre, has now become a It has to be decent. Gilliambi's words reminded him of this.
"Isn't it still a while? Don't worry, it's hard for Renzhong to imagine. Are you tired? Go and rest for a while, and we'll have dinner when they come back."
"We're not tired either." Zhou Zhi said, "We even brought some work back."
"I saw a lot of handkerchiefs and some tender fried tofu, just for Lu Gong and the others to try. Try it! ”
It is very simple to make pickles with deer ear leek. First wash the leaves of deer ear leek, then boil a pot of water. Blanch the vegetable leaves. When the leaves turn dark green, put them into cold water. Then pick up the vegetable leaves, squeeze out the water and shake them loose. Rub them with salt and then grind them with a stone that has not been used for a long time. Hang one fan up, put the deer ear and leek leaves into a two-layer cloth bag with inner cloth and outer hemp, put it on the millstone, and then use the upper fan to compact it. At this time, the water in the deer ear leek will be squeezed out. Wait until the next morning, and then press the pressed deer ear leek plate into a jar that has been burned with wine. After the fermentation is complete, take it out. Dry it until it is half dry and then store it in a jar again, or dry it until it is completely dry. It can be stored for a long time.
As time goes by, the flavor of the dried vegetables will become more fragrant. When ready to eat, stir it with water and use it to stir-fry twice-cooked pork or bacon. Simply mix it with the roasted pepper sauce. Or spicy oil, it is a delicious cold dish.
This method can also be applied to radishes, turnips, bamboo shoots, mustard greens, cabbage, cucumber strips... Anyway, almost any dish that can be used to make pickles can be done this way.
This work does not take much effort, mainly because Wu Renzhong and the others collected a large amount, which is a bit time-consuming.
On the other side, Jike Azi is also doing delicate work, dealing with Aconitum, Aconite, and Tianxiong.
Listening to Azi’s introduction, although these three things come from the same or even the same plant, there are some differences in their effects and usage.
Aconite was scattered into the ground for different reasons. The new roots that grew next to the roots became new aconite. Why is it called aconite? It is born attached to the mother root, so it is called aconite.
And the original piece became the taproot and became the aconite.
If the sown root does not grow aconite and the root itself grows like a single-headed garlic, it is called Tianxiong.
Because the root tuber is enlarged and does not produce aconite, the ancients believed that its warming and warming power will not be dispersed, so its warming and tonic power is greater. This is also the origin of the name Tianxiong, born male, Guyang He is not born, so he is named Tianxiong.
So judging from the two perspectives of the strength of warming yang and the strength of warming yang, Tianxiong's strength of warming yang is the strongest, while the strength of warming yang is the weakest; the strength of Aconitum's warming yang is the strongest, while the strength of warming yang is the weakest. ; Aconite is somewhere between the two, more moderate.
So when it comes to treating symptoms, dealing with painful paralysis obviously requires more Xuan Tong power, so Aconitum should be used relatively more. And to deal with strong wind, cold-damp paralysis, and body cold, it is obviously more necessary to warm the body. Yang power, so when using Tianxiong, you need more.
As the middle character, Aconite usually takes care of both ends and is less prone to making mistakes. This may be the reason why the Vulcan faction likes to use Aconite and rarely chooses Tianxiong Chuanwu.
Zhou Zhi, a Chinese medicine practitioner, doesn’t really understand it, but he enjoys listening to this simple logic and dialectics.
Traditional making of Sichuan Wu requires soaking, and the soaking liquid used is a magical thing, children's urine.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhi brought a lot of gallbladder to make bean curd and tofu, and finally no need for children to urinate. The same goes for soaking in brine prepared by gallbladder.
After soaking for seventy-two hours, rinse it in stream water for a few days. When the salty smell disappears, you can proceed to the next step.
Preparing Aconite, Preparing Sichuan Aconite and Preparing Tianxiong, only the subsequent steps are slightly different, the first step is the same.
There was a lot of mud on the dug medicinal materials, and Jile Azi did not ask anyone to help. After all, this thing was highly poisonous, and she did not trust a layman to handle it. Even if Zhou Zhi wanted to help, she could not help. .
