Chapter 144
On the side of the hillside ditch in Xiushui Village, this kind of snake grass is the most common. People of the older generation say that snake grass is crawled by poisonous snakes, and people will die if they eat it.

Seeing Yeran stuffing it into her mouth, Zhou Yunzhu was frightened half to death, threw Yeran to the ground, and opened her mouth to dig out the snake bubble she had eaten.

Seeing her so nervous, Ye Ran was both moved and funny.

"You can eat it, but it won't kill you if you poison it."

Snakeberry Grass has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and dissipating blood stasis, astringent and hemostasis. It can treat poisonous snake bites, wind-fire toothache and other symptoms.

This kind of herb is abundant in the hillside ditch, because it is so inconspicuous that Yeran forgot to tell the villagers that this can also be dug up and dried to make a herb.

The fruit of the snakeberry has a very light sweetness, which is a kind of faint sweetness, because it is too light and tasteless.

If it is not said to be toxic, it is also very weak, so weak that it can almost be ignored.

There will be no discomfort in the body without eating a large amount of snake berries.

It turns out that the people in Xiushui Village are called Snake Berry and Snake Paocao.

Ye Ran pushed Zhou Yunzhu away, pulled out a snakeberry and explained in his hand: "Snake grass can't kill people, it's not for snakes, it can cure snake venom, that's why it got this name."

After such an oolong, Zhou Yunzhu laughed when he thought of how nervous he was, and stretched out his hand to pull Ye Ran up.

"What did you say? This can cure snake venom, it's a medicinal herb!"

Zhou Yunzhu threw herself at the snakeberry grass with bright eyes, and greeted Yeran: "Mother Ran, hurry up, if it's too late, others will find out and dig them all up."

This kind of snakeberry grass is worth at most fifteen yuan a catty when dried.

Yeran had no interest in this kind of herb, so she forgot to tell the villagers that she could dig it up and dry it, so she sold it to the Herbal Medicine Hall.

Seeing Zhou Yunzhu digging excitedly with a small hoe, Ye Ran couldn't pour cold water on it, so she squatted down and dug together.

The two dug up the patch of snakeberry grass, and Yeran found a clump of comminaria by the side of the creek and ravine, and told Zhou Yunzhu that this herb could also cure snake poison.

She said with great interest: "Ran Niang, look around the tea mountain, are there any herbs to dig?"

Ye Ran found a piece of bamboo on the side of the tea hill, which can also cure snake venom, but it has thorns, and it doesn't bear much weight after being dried.

never mind!

Don't sell it for a few bucks and get stabbed in the hand.

Ye Ran glanced at it, and gave up resolutely. His eyes wandered, and he saw a large piece of green vines wrapped around a bush, and a lot of green melons with coconut rounds hanging from it.

This time, Yeran's eyes lit up: "Pick this, it's a big piece, I can pick a few baskets."

"Raniang, are you kidding me?"

Zhou Yunzhu's voice doubled: "What do you pick these shitty wax gourds for? Don't look at them as good-looking, they are not useful, pigs won't eat them..."

It turns out that the people of Xiushui Village call Gualou a shit melon, which is not tasty, but it is considered a slightly more expensive medicinal material.

The skin, seeds, and roots of Trichosanthes can be used as medicine. It has the effects of moistening the lungs and reducing phlegm, reducing fire and relieving cough, broadening the chest and dispelling stagnation, reducing swelling and detoxification, and moistening the intestines and defecating.

Besides, even if it is dried in the sun, Melon Trichosanthes bears more weight than ordinary herbs, and the selling price must be more expensive than cocklebur and Prunella vulgaris, which is estimated to be more than [-] yuan a catty.

Gualou's name is quite awkward, so let's just shit on winter melon!
"Winter melon can be used as a medicinal material. It can't be wrong. It needs to be roasted before it can be sold in the Herbal Medicine Hall. You just pick it. I'll take it for every penny."
