My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings
Chapter 55 This is called Houttuynia cordata, it smells like fish
After bleeding, Gu Lili handed the two needles to the village head.
He instructed, "Grandpa Lizheng, this needle must be sterilized with boiling water every time it is used. If it still burns, bleed again. In fact, the embroidery needle at home can also be used for bleeding. When the time comes, you must also explain to everyone that it must be sterilized with boiling water."
The head of the village nodded repeatedly and took the needle from Gu Lili's hand.
He guessed that when Gu Lili talked about disinfection, she probably meant the heat toxins in their bodies.
I have a fever, it must be because I have been infected with heat toxins!
Since the needle tip is contaminated with heat poison, it must be washed off with boiling water!
Gu Lili had no idea what the head of the village was thinking at this time.
But even if I knew, it would be hard to explain.
The reason why she only told the village head the prescription at the first time was because she was afraid that people would not trust her and the treatment would be delayed.
The head of the village is the person with the most say in the entire Gu Village. If the head of the village thinks something is right, they will definitely think it is right too.
So, Gu Lili first went to find the village head, and then the village head told everyone the prescription.
Gu Lili told the head of the village the method and prescription for reducing fever, and then went home to cook.
She believed that when the village head's condition improved, he would naturally tell everyone the prescription.
When Lili returned home, Gu Huanhuan’s meal was almost cooked.
Gu Lili used lard to fry two golden poached eggs for each of them, and then started eating.
After eating and clearing away the dishes, seeing that it was not yet completely dark, Gu Lili decided to go to the fields in front of the door to take a look and dig some Houttuynia cordata to eat.
The medical book says that Houttuynia cordata is a natural antibiotic and is best eaten raw.
"Sister, I'll go with you!" Gu Sigou volunteered.
Gu Huanhuan also said, "Sister, I want to go too."
Gu Lili looked at the mental state of Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou, then nodded in agreement.
"Sister, let me go too. I'm strong!" Gu Erniu also echoed.
Gu Lili shook her head and said, "Erniu, your fever hasn't subsided for long, you should stay at home, we will be back soon!"
After hearing what Gu Lili said, Gu Erniu had no choice but to give up.
Gu Lili took Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou out.
The place they went was not far from home, just near a stream.
In fact, Gu Lili discovered Houttuynia cordata here on the first day she arrived. The reason why she never thought of digging it was because this thing tasted too bad.
There was a strong smell of raw fish, which she had eaten before and it made her choke and cry.
However, now that we know it can cure diseases, we might as well dig some and eat it.
There is a saying that goes, eating vegetables is always better than taking medicine.
The ground was still a little difficult to dig after freezing rain, and Gu Lili put in all her effort to dig a hole.
However, there are still a lot of Houttuynia cordata in this place, probably because it is close to the stream and has no shortage of water, and it grows quite thick.
"Sister, what is this thing used for?" Gu Sigou asked curiously.
Just now I just heard my sister say that she was going to dig something by the creek, but I don’t know what she was going to use it for.
This thing doesn't look like a wild vegetable.
Gu Lili said with a wicked smile, "This is delicious! It's called Houttuynia cordata, and it smells like fish!"
As Gu Sigou listened, his saliva began to flow unconsciously.
Although they have no shortage of meat recently, the fish fried by my sister is so delicious!
Gu Sigou licked his lips and asked, "Sister, this is amazing! How do you eat it? Do you fry it in oil?"
Gu Sigou was a little bit unbelievable. Isn't this just grass roots? Does it really taste like fish?
Gu Lili shook off the dirt on the Houttuynia cordata and said with a smile, "Just eat it raw. Just go to the stream and wash off the dirt, and you can eat it directly!"
After hearing this, Gu Sigou smiled, took a handful, and squatted by the stream to wash it.
After washing, she trotted back and handed the white and tender Houttuynia cordata in her hand to Gu Lili and Gu Huanhuan, saying, "Sister, you eat first!"
Although Gu Sigou really wanted to taste this magical flavor, he still knew that the delicious food should be given to his sisters first.
Gu Lili hurriedly waved her hands, "No, no, you guys eat, I'd better continue digging, it will be dark soon!"
Gu Huanhuan also wanted to try the taste of this grass, so she stopped.
Because his hands were dirty, Gu Sigou fed the snacks directly into her mouth, and then he ate one himself.
While digging, Gu Lili secretly glanced at the expressions of the two people.
The two of them were seen chewing and looking at each other in disbelief.
"Sister, this is so delicious!"
"Yes, it's crunchy, and the more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes!"
Both of them couldn't help but admire the Houttuynia cordata.
This made Gu Lili, who had originally intended to play a prank on the two of them, a little confused. Could it be that because Houttuynia cordata grew in ancient times without any pollution, it would not have that fishy smell?
This made Gu Lili feel itchy, and she also wanted to try it to see if it was really as delicious as the two said.
"Come on, Si Gou, feed me one!" said Gu Lili.
Gu Sigou obediently took a piece of Houttuynia cordata and fed it into Gu Lili's mouth.
"Ugh...Ptah, ptah, ptah!" Gu Lili chewed it twice and spit it all out.
Her brows were twisted together, she looked like she was dying!
It still tastes so bad. I don’t know how these two little guys think it tastes good!
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" The two were startled by Gu Lili's sudden action and asked hurriedly with concern.
Gu Lili was vomiting and her tears were pouring down. She wiped her tears with her sleeve and said stubbornly, "It's okay. I didn't clean the dick cleanly, so I got a mouthful of sand!"
Gu Sigou: I washed it clean!
Gu Huanhuan: What I saw was that the whole root was white and tender, without any mud or sand at all!
However, since Gu Lili said so, they both felt that it was possible that they had seen it wrong.
Gu Sigou apologized, "Sister, come here, I checked this one, there is no sand or mud, eat it!"
Gu Lili looked at the Houttuynia cordata in Gu Sigou's hand and shuddered for no reason.
"You two eat, I'm done working and don't want to eat anymore!" Gu Lili quickly refused.
As Gu Lili said this, she quickly lowered her head and continued to dig out the Houttuynia cordata, fearing that Gu Sigou would force it into her mouth.
Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou were busy frying Gu Lili. They quickly divided the Houttuynia cordata in their hands, stuffed it into their mouths, and continued to work with Gu Lili.
Gu Lili listened to the chewing sounds of Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou, and felt that her younger brother and sister were horrible. How could they eat such disgusting food with relish?
They must have been scared because of hunger before!
So everything tastes good!
That must be the case!
The three of them dug for a while, and seeing that it was getting dark, they squatted by the stream, washed the Houttuynia cordata they had dug, and then went home.
