In Daxia, there is a custom of digging wild vegetables on February 2. Everyone from the royal family to the common people will go to the fields to dig wild vegetables on this day.
However, for the former, it is more like an unpleasant task, but for the latter, it is a chewy meal for several meals. If you fail to dig it out, you will be disappointed. How delicious wild vegetables are!
Ling Bao was holding a small basket and shouted anxiously: "Big brother, second brother, please hurry up."
Cheng Yi said calmly: "Just dig some wild vegetables, why are you in a hurry?"
Of course you have to be anxious!
You know, on this day, not only the villagers from Beihe Village will dig wild vegetables, but all the villages from ten miles away will go out to dig wild vegetables. Except for the workers who cannot come, even the elderly grandparents will dig with small shovels.
"Lingbao, come on, let's dig wild vegetables together!"
Han Guoguo was also holding a small basket, standing at the door and jumping happily. Next to her was Zhao Guihua. Han Xiaoshu had already gone with his friends in advance, and Zhao Guihua smiled gently at them.
After packing up, the three brothers and sisters were ready to set off.
Zhao Guihua asked doubtfully: "Isn't your father going?"
Cheng Yun shook his head: "No, he wants to study at home."
"That's right, reading is more important." Zhao Guihua said.
Cheng Yi didn't lift the basket properly, put his hand on his wrist, and exerted a little force, the basket started spinning, and you could hear the sound of "swish" breaking through the air.
Suddenly the force became stronger, and the basket flew out of his hand and landed accurately on Ling Bao's head.
Ling Bao's vision suddenly turned black. Ling Bao was obviously confused. Cheng Yun took the basket off her head and saw the little girl touching her head in confusion. What happened just now?
Why does she have a basket on her head?
Cheng Yi touched his nose guiltily and urged: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't let others dig you out."
Cheng Yun glanced at him and was kind enough not to expose him.
Small green buds have begun to appear on both sides of the road in the field, branches and leaves with clear veins are swaying gently in the wind, and unknown flowers are hidden in the grass, bringing a wisp of fragrance.
Lingbao saw something with sharp eyes, squatted on the roadside, picked the buds of a certain plant, and carefully put them into the basket.
Cheng Yi, who was now able to distinguish the grains, stared at them for a moment, but still couldn't identify them: "What kind of dish is this?"
"Mother-in-law Ding," Ling Bao said, urging his two brothers, "Hurry and pick them, they are all in this large area."
Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi responded, with nimble hands and feet, neat movements and fast speed.
Zhao Guihua took one look at it and stopped them in a hurry: "Hey, brothers, stop quickly, what are you picking? This, this, this... are all weeds, inedible, and you have to pick them."
We don’t want any young seedlings or stems.”
"Ah? There are so many details?"
"What's the point? It's just that you gain experience after eating too much."
Lingbao took out all the weeds and stems, and carefully taught his two brothers which were the tender seedlings that could be picked, and which were the weeds that were easy to mistake.
Cheng Yun studied very seriously, although he really couldn't see any difference between the two.
Cheng Yi was a little skeptical: "Is this really edible?"
"Don't underestimate this old lady. We used to call it the grass-saving grass because we used it to fill our stomachs during the lean years." Zhao Guihua sighed, "It's just the past two years that have made things easier.
, I used to rush to pick them."
Cheng Yi was stunned when he heard this. He poked the little girl's face and asked, "Have you eaten a lot before?"
"Yes, I eat it every year." Lingbao said, "I can eat a lot!"
Because my mother-in-law's young sprouts are a little bitter, my sister and brother don't like to eat them.
The king said: "Ling Bao, in fact, Po Po Ding is also a kind of medicinal material."
Ling Bao was shocked. He raised the bud in his hand and looked over it over and over.
"What are you looking at?" Cheng Yi wondered, his expression suddenly changed.
"Look at Grandma Ding." He replied very seriously, but it seemed like he was talking nonsense.
Ling Bao asked the king: "Is Po Po Ding really a medicinal material?"
"Mother-in-law Ding also calls it Dandelion, Huahualang, and Bedwetter. Do you know why it is called Bedwetter?"
Lingbao obediently asked why. The king liked students like her. He taught her to worry less and gave her a sense of accomplishment.
"Because it has a very good diuretic effect and can improve indigestion and constipation." The king said, "Its functions are more than that. If you pay attention, you will know. When your father has a cold, his grandson
This is the medicine the doctor prescribed for your father."
Dr. Sun is just a country doctor, he doesn't have a complete range of medicinal materials, and he always uses whatever is useful.
Ling Bao's excited little face was flushed, like a peach that made people want to take a bite.
The way she looked at her mother-in-law Ding changed. She thought it was a treasure. Her father was about to die at the time, but it saved him!
"Mother-in-law Ding can also clear away heat and reduce fire. Lingbao, you can dig some of it and make it for your father to drink. Your father has a very hot temper and typically has strong liver fire." The king shook his head seriously.
"Your Majesty, you are right."
Next, Lingbao not only picked the young seedlings, she also picked the whole plant.
"Your Majesty, can we also sell the mother-in-law? Just like turmeric."
They later went to the mountains to look for it, but couldn't find it.
The king has a well-developed sense of smell, but it can also distinguish the smell of animals. For medicinal materials, they are only introduced in its mind, and the smell is not familiar to it.
The king said: "Yes, yes, but the price of mother-in-law Ding should be very low."
Dandelions are everywhere. Their seeds are so light that a gust of wind can carry them anywhere. Those with fewer seeds are more valuable than those with more.
I worked from dawn to dusk and earned three melons and two dates.
Lingbao said disappointedly, but she still didn't give up poaching her mother-in-law. This is good stuff. Give it to daddy!
Putting the handful he picked into the basket, Cheng Yi glanced at it and asked, "Isn't it enough to just pick the buds? Why did you dig out the whole plant?"
Ling Bao didn't think so and said: "The king said this is medicine..."
Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Yun covered her mouth. She "whimpered" twice and looked at her elder brother in confusion.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Cheng Yi was even more confused.
Cheng Yun smiled at Zhao Guihua who was looking over here, lowered his voice and said to Ling Bao: "Let's talk about it when we go home, okay?"
Lingbao nodded in confusion. Although she didn't know why, she was a very obedient child.
Cheng Yun let go of his hand and let her continue digging for Granny Ding.
Cheng Yi asked again why he wanted to dig up the whole plant. What confused him was that Lingbao obviously heard it, but he covered his mouth with an unyielding expression of "I won't tell you even if you beat me to death."
Cheng Yun said quietly: "It's up to you. If she wants to dig, let her dig."
"Brother, you treat me too differently."
"Just now I accidentally pulled out the whole plant, and you taught me a lesson."
He is as warm as spring breeze to his sister, but as cold as winter to his brother.
