Chapter 164 164. Grilled Buns

The temperature is getting warmer in spring, and people can easily get angry if they don't adjust properly, don't get enough rest, are under too much pressure, etc.

At this time, it is the season when Imperata cognac roots are growing vigorously. They can be seen on roadsides, hillsides, and on grass. Imperata cognac roots are sweet and cold in nature and enter the lung and stomach meridians. They have the effects of clearing fire, promoting fluid production, cooling blood and stopping bleeding.

Shen Suhong sighed: "I didn't expect that this weed is also a good medicine."

Shen Yan trimmed the hair that hung down to her shoulders back: "Some weeds are good and some are not. It still depends on the quality."

Shen Suhong asked: "Shen Yan, do you often go to the mountains with your grandfather to collect medicine?"

Shen Yan glanced at the barefoot doctor and shook her head: "Not often, sometimes."

The barefoot doctor breathed rapidly, and after a while he recovered. Looking at the three energetic little girls, he was very envious: "Shen Yan doesn't know much about medicinal materials, so I don't take her with me often."

Shen Yan couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, you can actually teach me more. I'm not stupid. Maybe I can also see a doctor in the future?"

The barefoot doctor looked at his granddaughter: "You have no talent for medicine. Otherwise, why don't you read one of the many medical books at home?"

Shen Yan was unconvinced: "I can't read at all."

The barefoot doctor said calmly: "But I haven't seen you ask me. If you really want to learn, why don't you study hard? You have to take the initiative in learning, and what you learn in this way is your own."

Shen Yan was speechless.

Shen Ruoxi and Shen Suhong didn't speak to each other, but what the uncle said made sense.

After digging out more than ten kilograms of Imperata cogongrass roots, the weight was enough. They packed it up and put it in the grass. The four of them walked forward again.

There is a small spring ahead.

Shen Suhong walked over quickly: "Ruoxi, I drank by mouth, who can drink some."

Shen Yan quickly followed up: "I'll drink some too."

Shen Ruoxi asked the barefoot doctor: "Grandpa, do you want to drink?"

The barefoot doctor waved his hand and sat down on the stone next to him to rest. Alas, his physical strength was getting weaker and weaker. "I won't drink. You can drink."

Shen Suhong waved to Shen Ruoxi and said loudly: "Hey, Ruoxi, there are a lot of thorns over there."

Echinacea, also known as thistle, has green leaves with many small thorns on the edges of the leaves. It is a very delicious wild vegetable that can be blanched and stir-fried or eaten cold.

Shen Ruoxi looked at a large piece of thornbush and said, "We'll pick some to eat when we come back soon."

Shen Suhong nodded: "Yes."

After resting for a while, the barefoot doctor continued walking with the three little girls.

"There are some rehmannia here,"

Fresh rehmannia glutinosa clears away heat and promotes fluid production. It can stop bleeding and cool blood. It is used for fever, yin damage, vomiting blood, sore throat, red tongue, polydipsia, spots and rashes, and epistaxis fever.

The medicinal part is the fresh root tuber of Rehmannia glutinosa. When digging, the reed heads, fibrous roots and sediment attached to the tuber must be removed. It is easy to break and the taste is a bit sweet and bitter.

Three girls, Shen Ruoxi, came forward and dug three trees each, and then they were gone.

Shen Suhong picked up the discarded flowers and said, "These yellow flowers are purple and red, like morning glory. They are quite beautiful."

Shen Ruoxi picked the most beautiful one: "I'll pin it in your hair, do you want it?"

Shen Suhong stood in front of Shen Ruoxi and nodded: "Okay, it must look good."

Shen Ruoxi put the stem connected to the flower into Shen Suhong's bun, took a step back and looked at it: "It looks good, it's beautiful."

Shen Suhong asked jokingly: "Ruoxi, are you talking about the beautiful flowers or me?"

Shen Ruoxi put the basket on her back and continued walking: "They complement each other, they all look good."

Shen Suhong followed Shen Ruoxi's footsteps and said with a smile: "Ruoxi, you are really good at talking."

Shen Yan glanced at the two of them with some envy. She didn't have such good friends in the village: Shen Ruoxi was so bad before, but Shen Suhong was by her side, which was actually pretty good.

After walking, stopping, stopping, for who knows how long, the barefoot doctor suddenly stopped and asked, "Ruoxi, do you want Qinghao?"

"Yes." Shen Ruoxi stepped forward, put down the backpack, and picked up Qinghao.

Artemisia annua is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the family Asteraceae and the genus Artemisia annua.

The stem is upright, with many branches in the upper part, with longitudinal ridges. The leaves are alternate. The leaves in the middle of the stem are bipinnately split and have small linear lobes. They bloom in summer and have flower heads.

Artemisia annua is bitter, pungent, and cold.

Clears deficiency heat, removes bone steam, relieves heat-heat, cuts malaria, and reduces jaundice.

"Jiubei Emergency Prescription" records that Artemisia annua can treat malaria. A handful of Artemisia annua should be soaked in two liters of water, wring out the juice, and drink it all. When using, the juice must be stirred with fresh products. Dried ones are worse.

Summer is the season of high incidence of malaria, so you need to collect some for emergencies.

There was not a lot of Artemisia annua, and they were all picked in a short time, and one person had not picked even a pound.

The four of them walked through the mountains, passing by a stream, a bamboo forest, and a hunting hut...

Before you know it, noon has arrived.

Shen Ruoxi cleaned up the place and prepared to boil some hot water to drink: "We have brought dry food, uncle, have you brought it?"

The barefoot doctor frowned and shook his head: "I didn't bring it with me. I didn't know it would take so long to collect the medicine."

Shen Ruoxi blew her bangs to cover her eyes and said generously: "It doesn't matter, we will bring more and we will eat together later."

The barefoot doctor said politely: "Then I'll thank you first, and I'll return it to you when I get back later."

Shen Ruoxi moved stones to surround the fire: "Grandpa said this, you are out of touch. It's just a little bit of food. If you eat it, you will eat it. How can you pay it back? If you tell me, won't everyone say that I, Shen Ruoxi, am stingy?"

The barefoot doctor smiled and said, "That's what Grandpa said wrong. Next time Grandpa will bring it, let's eat it together."

Shen Ruoxi smiled: "That's pretty much it."

Shen Suhong picked up firewood and piled it aside: Ruoxi, do you want to light a fire?"

Shen Ruoxi pointed to the basket on her back: "Put up the shelf for hanging the iron pot. Once the shelf is set up, you can make a fire."

Shen Yan picked up hay to help: "I didn't expect you to bring these. It's very convenient."

Shen Ruoxi said: "We planned to have lunch in the mountains from the beginning, so we were well prepared."

Shen Yan thought it was good: "I'll learn from you next time."

With the efforts of the three girls, the fire was lit and the water was boiled. The fire was sizzling and it felt like a picnic.

Shen Ruoxi took out some steamed buns to bake. The baked steamed buns were particularly delicious: "You must try the grilled steamed buns, they are particularly delicious."

"I've never eaten grilled steamed buns. Is it delicious?" Shen Yan asked curiously.

"You'll know after you try it later, Ruoxi won't punish you." Shen Suhong swallowed, with a greedy look on her face.

Shen Ruoxi handed the baked buns to the barefoot doctor, poured him a bowl of boiling water, and took out the pickles: "Grandpa, eat slowly."

When the barefoot doctor saw this, his opinion of Shen Ruoxi suddenly changed a lot. She is a well-prepared girl: "I didn't expect you to bring pickles."

Shen Ruoxi smiled: "The pickles are delicious and they go perfectly with the steamed buns."
