Wang Ye's foodie farm concubine

Chapter 51 Looking for Herbs

"Yao Yao, what are you looking for?"

"Looking for medicinal materials, look at this." Yuyao pulled out a piece of grass from the pile and put it in her hand and said to her brothers.

"This is called ephedra. It is a thin round segment, one to two centimeters long. The green herbaceous stems are harvested in autumn and dried in the sun. The surface of the finished ephedra is yellow-green, rough, with thin longitudinal ridges, and small scale leaves on the knots. It is brittle, with a reddish-yellow color in the center of the section, and is commonly known as 'Zhuxin Ephedra'. It is powdery, slightly fragrant, astringent, and slightly bitter."

Yuyao pointed them out one by one as she spoke.

"Efficacy and Indications: Sweating, dispersing cold, clearing the lungs, diuresis and reducing swelling. Used for colds, chest tightness and asthma, and Feng Shui edema."

"However, please remember to use it with caution if you have mild symptoms of exogenous wind-cold, palpitation, insomnia, etc., and avoid using it if you are physically weak, have spontaneous sweating, night sweats, asthma, and those with yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity. The elderly, physically weak, and children should use ephedra velvet. Excessive dosage may cause poisoning."

"It is commonly found on hillsides, plains, dry wastelands, river beds, grasslands, etc., and often forms simple communities in large areas. However, it can survive under extreme conditions."

Yuyao saw that her brothers were having a hard time remembering, so she spoke as slowly and carefully as possible so that they could all understand.

"You can all understand it. It doesn't matter whether you remember it or not. Anyway, we will collect some and prepare them. You can memorize them slowly. There is no rush at this moment."

Yuyao said and squatted down to collect herbs.

"I have already remembered Yaoyao." Yu Jingting said while looking at his sister who was collecting herbs.

"Brother Six has remembered it!" This surprised Yuyao.

Although the spiritual spring water can improve their physique and enhance their abilities in all aspects, the problem is that the other brothers don't seem to remember it so quickly!

Yuyao looked at the other brothers, and they were all still trying to remember what she just said.

Does this still matter?

"Okay little sister, let's continue." Yu Jingze said.

"Oh, okay." Yuyao then walked up the mountain.

"This is called plantain, also called plantain." Yuyao picked another one and said.

"Isn't this just wild vegetables?" Yu Jingyun said looking at the grass in the little girl's hand.

"What's wrong with you!" Yu Jingze slapped Yu Jingyun on the head.

"Why did brother hit me? This is just a wild vegetable!" Yu Jingyun muttered.

"The third brother is right. This is indeed edible. You can pick its young shoots in April and May, boil them in boiling water, and then cook them cold, dip them in sauce, stir-fry them, make stuffings, soups, or make noodles. "

This kind of herb was Zeng Jin's favorite herb. Yuyao thought of her grandmother who had always been very good to her but had long since passed away.

The days at her grandmother's house were one of the few free and happy times in her life.

"It turns out there are so many ways to eat this thing!" Yu Jingyun opened his mouth.

"Sister, can we also pick some to eat?" When Yu Jingting heard that it was edible, he immediately stared at his sister and asked with bright eyes. He was still more concerned about eating.

Yuyao was interrupted by Sixth Brother's question and looked at the plantain in her hand: "I can't do it now. I can only make porridge when I get old."

"Ah, that's it!" Yu Jingting was a little disappointed, and his little head immediately felt like an eggplant beaten by frost!
"Okay, little sister, you'd better continue talking." Yu Jingze looked at the sixth brother who only knew how to eat, feeling helpless in his heart.

Yuyao nodded and then explained the next medicinal ingredient.

"Well, plantains have short rhizomes."
