Hearing Luo Li's scream, Xu Bo'an was extremely curious.
Herb!
Magic medicine!
This name is amazing as soon as you hear it!
The so-called miracle medicine is not something that can directly enhance certain superpowers after taking one bite, right? For example, you are immune to all diseases!
Or can you live a hundred years with just one mouthful?
You can still live forever after taking it!
After all, Xu Boan has encountered many magical events in the bonsai world before, such as the wild fruit mountain yellow that can directly sober up people and prevent people from getting drunk after a thousand cups.
The hare meat hunted in the woods is not only delicious but can also cure anorexia.
All of these are miraculous things that Xu Boan could not believe before.
Aren’t they all happening one after another in the bonsai world right now!
With all the surprises Xu Bo'an had received from the bonsai world before, Xu Bo'an felt that there were no magical things that were impossible to happen here.
In short, for something that can be called a "miraculous medicine", just hearing the name makes people think that this is definitely a very high-end and unique treasure.
Anyone who encounters this thing will be ecstatic for a while.
Xu Bo'an naturally had the same idea, so Xu Bo'an immediately jumped out of the temple, leaned over the basket, and stared straight into the basket. Looking at the so-called "immortal grass" Luo Li mentioned in the basket.
Xu Boan was dumbfounded after just one glance.
For a moment, Xu Boan felt that this matter made him laugh or cry somewhat.
Herb...that's it!
Yes, Xu Boan also knows that this thing is called fairy grass.
Because Xu Boan has seen this thing before, and he saw it often when he was a child.
In Xu Boan's knowledge, this thing had a more popular name. At that time, this thing was called... "mulberry leaf"!
The first time Xu Boan learned about mulberry leaves was when he was a primary school student, because raising silkworms was very popular on campus in primary school.
It’s the kind of silkworm that spins silk and spins cocoons!
As long as you raise silkworms, you cannot avoid mulberry leaves. After all, the food of silkworms is mulberry leaves.
However, mulberry trees were a very rare tree species in Dongjiang at that time. There were mostly poplars, willows, cypresses and pine trees on the streets, and mulberry trees were almost impossible to find.
Xu Bo'an remembers that whenever he heard that there were mulberry trees somewhere, children would swarm there like locusts crossing the border.
In just one or two days, the children and their parents will cut this mulberry tree into a tree without a single leaf.
The scene was as desolate as the trees in late autumn.
The children who were slow to learn arrived late and could not find the leaves on the mulberry tree. They could only look at the branches and sigh. Some children even cried on the spot.
Xu Bo'an failed to get mulberry leaves several times. He heard that elm leaves can also be fed to silkworms, so he reluctantly used elm leaves to feed silkworms, only to find that after a few days, tiny silkworms grew on their bodies. The fluff, some like caterpillars, is no longer cute.
This put an end to Xu Boan's idea of raising silkworms.
Later, after going to college, Xu Boan and his college classmates recalled their childhood gaming hobbies.
After chatting about foreign cards, paintings, four-corner ingots, glass beads, Little Raccoon Tornado Cards and Little Master Water Margin Cards and other toys in my childhood memories, I accidentally came across the matter of silkworm raising, and then I discovered that at that time, there were many toys in the country. Children have actually had the experience of raising silkworm babies.
It was then that Xu Boan realized that mulberry trees without mulberry leaves are also treasures. You can cut a few mulberry branches and insert them into the soil. After a while, mulberry leaves and even mulberries will grow. .
When Xu Boan learned the news at that time, he was simply shocked. After searching on the Internet, he discovered that mulberry trees can indeed be transplanted by cutting branches, and new ones can grow in just a few days. mulberry leaves.
After confirming the news, Xu Boan even felt a little depressed!
If I could master this knowledge and skills when I was raising silkworms in primary school, what a happy memory it would be and how awesome it would be!
Xu Bo'an, who was in college, would only be regretful if he knew this news!
After missing something, even if you get it again, it will not be the feeling you expected at the beginning.
It’s like a meal you missed while traveling. You may eat it again many years later. By then, it will no longer taste the same as it did back then.
The mulberry leaves that Xu Boan knew back then, when he went to college to look up information, he found out that this thing also has a name, which is "fairy grass"!
Xu Boan looked at the mulberry leaves in the basket in front of him, and then thought of the "immortal grass" Luo Li said, and suddenly figured it out.
It turns out...that's it!
Looking for it thousands of times with full expectation, suddenly looking back, this guy is just a small mulberry tree!
Xu Boan had no choice but to look at the basket and sigh!
Okay, it’s my imagination. This is the magic grass, your magic medicine! I don’t care about it anymore!
Mulberry leaves are called fairy grass, and that is well documented.
Xu Bo'an remembered that it was recorded in the ancestral medical books of the old Zhang family. As early as the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen called mulberry leaves "immortal grass" in the "Compendium of Materia Medica"!
In addition, mulberry leaves are also known as "longevity tea", which coincides with the name of "immortal grass".
The reason why it is called "longevity tea" is naturally because of its extensive and rich nutritional value.
Mulberry leaves taste sweet, bitter, and cold, and are rich in nutritional treasures. They are rich in multiple vitamins, carotene, multiple amino acids, and a long list of various beneficial substances.
Anyway, when Xu Boan saw the introduction of this thing, he discovered a lot of uncommon words!
As we all know, the more nutrients a rare word contains, the more awesome it is! Plus vitamins ABCDEFG, once this thing is introduced, everyone knows that it is a good thing.
Because it is rich in these beneficial substances, mulberry leaves have become a nutritious natural food. People in many places pick mulberry leaves during the season, soak them, cook them, and then mix them into Cold dishes to add to the meal.
In addition, mulberry leaves are also a plant with the same origin as medicine and food. In addition to being used as food materials, they can also be used as medicinal materials to regulate sub-health conditions of the human body.
Mulberry leaves used as medicine can clear lung dryness, treat eye diseases, cool blood, quench thirst and stop sweating. It also has the magical effects of calming nerves, moistening lung heat, relieving cough and cooling blood, promoting body fluid and nourishing yin.
After boiling the frost mulberry leaves, soak them with gauze and then apply them on your eyes. This can improve the fatigue around the eyes, remove redness and pain in the eyes, and allow you to work overtime at the computer without fear of losing your eyes. It can be called essential fodder for nuclear-powered donkeys. It is worth mentioning that in addition to treating eye fatigue, mulberry leaves harvested after frost can also be drunk as tea after simply soaking in water.
Mulberry leaf tea not only tastes fragrant, but also can dispel wind and heat, clear the liver and improve eyesight and ears. It is also a rare drink!
In addition, mulberry leaves also have good curative effects on many chronic diseases.
The ingredients in mulberry leaves can effectively suppress chronic diseases such as "three highs" and obesity that we hear in daily life. It can lower blood pressure, lower lipids, lower blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and inhibit fat accumulation.
What is even more surprising is that mulberry leaves also have the effect of beautifying and removing freckles. In the ancestral medical books of the old Zhang family, there are several beauty and beauty prescriptions that use mulberry leaves!
Because of its many functions and effects, mulberry leaf is known as the "King of Plants" among the people. It complements ginseng, which is known as the "King of Herbs". It is said that mulberry leaves are “clear and nourishing”!
This is how the name "mulberry grass" came from.
Thinking of these knowledge points about mulberry leaves, Xu Boan couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
I thought that the "magic medicine" Luo Li mentioned was some kind of extremely valuable thing.
I didn’t expect that the “magic grass” they were talking about was mulberry leaves. Although mulberry trees are not common, in the real world, Xu Boan can still find dozens of mulberry trees if he just asks around, so he is interested in this. Planting so-called "magic grass" really doesn't arouse much interest.
But there is a saying that goes well, A is like honey, B is like arsenic!
Although Xu Boan was a little disappointed with this so-called "magic medicine", Luo Li and the Cuigu tribe were all excited after seeing this thing.
Especially the man who came back with the basket on his back was so proud that his mouth was raised to the sky, as if he was a hero returning victoriously.
Hearing Luo Li's surprised words, the man said proudly: "That's right, brother! I found this fairy grass with great difficulty. With this thing, everyone can survive for a while."
< br>While talking, the man finally had time to hand Luo Li some hand-shredded bread and put it into his mouth.
First I chewed it twice, and then I was stunned.
Then he chewed the things in his mouth crazily, and said with unclear words: "This... what is this delicious? It's a bit like the cooking cakes in the city! But brother? I have never had it. I have never eaten such sweet cooking cakes!"
Luo Li shook his head, reluctantly touching the mulberry branches in the basket, and said with a happy smile: "What cooking cakes? This is not a cooking cake? It's food from the fairy world given by Grandpa Mountain God." The visitor asked in surprise: "No, brother, are you kidding me? Or maybe I heard it wrong. What did you say, Grandpa Mountain God? When you come in, you also said not to disturb Grandpa Mountain God!”
Luo Li nodded and said, “You heard that right, it’s Grandpa Mountain God!”
The person swallowed hard. He took the bread in his mouth, slowly shook his head and said in surprise: "How is this possible! The gods had completely disappeared hundreds of years ago."
Luo Li nodded lightly and pointed. Pointing to the giant rice grains on the side, he said: "Yes, I have always thought so, but Grandpa Mountain God really appeared just now. Not only these food, but you saw these rice, these are all Rewarded by the respected Grandpa Mountain God.”
While speaking, Luo Li cupped his hands and bowed respectfully in the direction of the mountain temple.
The visitor opened his mouth wide, touched the huge rice grains in surprise, and exclaimed: "What did you say? This... these are rice, corn? No, this should be good rice! But... how could it be possible? A rice as big as a head? I just thought where did you get this stone?"
Hearing this, Xu Boan suddenly wanted to laugh.
Hey guys, this guy not only has a bad sense of smell, he also has bad eyesight.
When the hand-pulled bread was put out just now, most people had already smelled the sweetness. This guy didn't even react when he brought it to his mouth. He only felt the sweetness after eating it. This complete loss of sense of smell is simply a symptom of rhinitis!
Now when we talk about this rice, it is clearly crystal clear and high-quality rice. This kid can actually see it as a stone. How short-sighted is this!
Thinking of this, Xu Boan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Hearing Xu Bo'an's laughter suddenly appeared, the man who brought Sang Ye back was suddenly startled.
"Who is it?" The man looked around warily.
Xu Boan then realized that he was speaking to everyone just like before, without deliberately hiding it, so his laughter was heard by the Cuigu tribesmen outside the temple.
Luo Li hurriedly pulled the man and said, "Ah Cheng, don't be rude!"
Then, he bowed his hands towards the small mountain temple and said respectfully: "Grandpa Mountain God, please forgive me. Ah Cheng just came back and didn't know the situation yet, which made you laugh!"
Following Luo Li's words , floating out of the mountain temple, Xu Boan, who had just looked at the so-called fairy grass in the basket, turned around for the first time and noticed the whole picture of the small mountain temple.
My dear, it is too difficult to call this mountain temple a temple.
The moment Xu Boan saw the whole thing, his first impression was just one word.
"Small"!
Yes, this temple is simply too small, only about half a person tall.
Judging from the overall size of the temple, its height is similar to the small refrigerator Xu Boan used to live in the dormitory, and its width is even narrower than that small refrigerator.
When Xu Boan saw this small temple, he even thought of the small hole in the wall of his grandmother’s old yard for the Kitchen God’s shrine.
The small temple in front of me is really not much bigger than the shrine dug out of the wall of my cave dwelling.
It’s even simpler!
To say it is simple is not to praise or be modest, but to be truly simple!
Xu Bo'an remembered the portrait of the Stove Lord on the wall in the old courtyard of his grandmother's house. It had been repaired with bricks and cement, and there was a portrait of the Stove Lord and his grandmother pasted on the inside.
The materials of this temple are visible to the naked eye. They only use the most original gravel and mud mixed with weeds that can be seen everywhere!
The statues inside are even more simplified to the point that there are no similar statues with facial features and shapes. They are just replaced by a pile of gravel, which is really a bit perfunctory.
I don’t know whether it’s because the people here don’t have craftsmen who are skilled in masonry skills and it’s inconvenient to make statues, or it’s just the custom of this place and they don’t pay attention to this aspect.
Xu Bo'an hadn't taken a good look at the temple when suddenly, he heard Ah Cheng from Luo Li's mouth suddenly kowtow and shout.
"Grandpa Mountain God! It's really Grandpa Mountain God! Grandpa Mountain God, above, Luo Cheng, a descendant of the Cancong family! Meet Grandpa Mountain God!"
Xu Bo'an raised his eyebrows when he heard this. So surprised!
Huh? Descendants of the Cancong family?
This statement sounds like it has a lot of background!
And it is obvious that this way of introducing oneself is most likely after an old friend! (End of this chapter)
