Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine
Chapter 138 Eliminating the Four Harms (4)
She calculated that since the beginning of spring, her family alone had brought home more than 30 wild animals. If one added the ones shared by the Niu and Qian families and those sold privately, the total would be more than 200.
This year is really strange. Why are there suddenly so many rabbits and pheasants on the mountain?
Something out of the ordinary will inevitably lead to disaster! The old lady's heart tightened. Could it be that the grasslands in the north had been hit by a disaster, and the animals knew it first and fled to the mountains outside Beijing?
In the evening, the grandparents and grandson killed a rabbit but did not have time to stew it. The old lady was busy setting up trellises for cucumbers and beans in the vegetable garden, and Han Zhaozhao was busy preparing medicinal herbs.
The dinner was simple, with pickled tofu, stir-fried cabbage that I grew myself, and cold-mixed young lettuce with garlic. I couldn't bear to throw away the lettuce leaves, so I washed them and dipped them in soybean paste, and ate them with freshly boiled cornmeal pancakes and drank fragrant rice porridge.
The old lady also picked a handful of tender shallots. With just four simple dishes, the grandparents and grandchildren started cooking!
“Big fish and meat are delicious, but you’ll get sick of them if you eat too much! I prefer these simple farm dishes.
Ordinary people have blessings that they cannot enjoy, but they cannot suffer! Eat seasonal food in accordance with the season, which is in line with what our ancestors said: the right time, the right place, and the right people! "
Han Zhaozhao stuffed the rice into her mouth and nodded in agreement.
This time it’s really not a supporting role!
Although the old lady is uneducated, what she said is correct.
The ancients had the idiom "spring leeks and autumn cabbages". Leeks are also called yang-starting grass. Common people have a saying that "leeks smell good in spring but smell bad in summer."
Spring is the season when Yang energy begins to grow. Chives are tender and green. Eating chives helps the growth of our Yang energy.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, eating more leeks in spring can replenish qi and strengthen yang, benefit the liver and spleen, promote qi and blood circulation, warm yang and promote bowel movements, and promote the flow of the three meridians!
The same is true for leeks. In summer, the Yang energy is too strong. Eating leeks, which are spicy and hot, will add fuel to the fire and make it easy to develop heat diseases such as sores, bleeding, and constipation.
In ancient times, cabbage is what we know today as Chinese cabbage!
The weather is dry in autumn, and the cold air has a great impact on the skin. Cabbage is rich in vitamins. Eating more cabbage in autumn can nourish the skin and moisturize the stomach.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cabbage is slightly cold and sweet in taste. It has many health-preserving and therapeutic effects such as clearing away heat and detoxifying, relieving cough and reducing phlegm, promoting gastrointestinal function, relieving chest tightness and relieving restlessness, relieving alcohol and digestion, and relieving gas!
"Spring leeks and autumn cabbages" implies that eating seasonal vegetables is good for health. This is the wisdom of the ancients!
A long time ago, the ancients realized that diet should be coordinated with the seasonal changes in nature, that is, the principle of "eating in season".
This concept emphasizes that in daily diet, food should be chosen according to the season and should be eaten according to the season.
The "Si Sui Bei Wu" in the famous Chinese medicine book "Huang Di Nei Jing" also emphasizes the need to prepare medicines and food according to the yin and yang climate of nature.
It reflects the ancients' inheritance of wisdom on diet and health preservation from all aspects, and emphasizes the harmonious unity of diet and nature to achieve the purpose of health preservation.
This food culture, which has been passed down for thousands of years, clearly reflects the ancient people's awe of nature and pursuit of health.
With the development of technology in later generations, many out-of-season fruits and vegetables have entered people's daily lives.
However, all things have their own souls. Only fruits and vegetables that grow and mature in accordance with the natural climate are more suitable for consumption and healthier!
Fruits and vegetables that are artificially grown and ripened using modern technology may be fresh and tender, but they have lost their original natural flavor.
Of course, except for the legendary spiritual space production! (Haha, thinking of this, Han Zhaozhao, who has a defective product planting space, is very proud!)
"Oh, Zhaozhao, the neighborhood committee has called on everyone to catch rats, kill flies, mosquitoes and fleas, saying they want to eliminate the four pests!
Everyone has a task, and we must carry it out conscientiously. Director Zhang of the neighborhood committee said that every household must strive to be a model and absolutely no slacking off is allowed.
This time we're serious, everyone has to register and be counted.
Flies, mosquitoes, fleas need to be counted, and rats are also counted. If you have a lot of ideas, you can catch them, collect them together, and hand them in to the street. The first few will be reported and praised.
Director Zhang said that this campaign to eradicate the four pests is nationwide, and we will evaluate outstanding individuals and groups. If you perform well, you might even be featured in the newspapers!"
The old lady turned into a passionate old lady. She fully charged herself and did not forget to recommend it to her granddaughter!
Han Zhaozhao nodded blankly. Was the "Four Pests Elimination" movement that was said in later generations coming? Was she going to participate in it now?
But there was a detail that seemed wrong. She remembered the "Four Pests" campaign, and one of the pests should be sparrows, right?
That was thanks to a doggerel poem written by Lao Guo, which forcibly classified sparrows as one of the four pests. People across the country almost wiped out sparrows in China.
She recalled the comments about the literary giant Lao Guo on the Internet in her previous life: his character is not good! Even Mr. Lu Xun called him a genius and a hooligan!
Apart from being a scumbag with poor personal ethics, he also proposed to demolish city walls, attempted to demolish the Forbidden City, and dug up graves. When his eagerness for quick success and instant benefits failed in archaeological work, he immediately turned to destroying cultural relics.
They have no stance at all and are fence-sitters, without any intellectual integrity. They shamelessly fawn in order to please their superiors. Especially after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they have made almost no achievements, but have taken the lead in committing many mistakes that had a very serious impact.
Yes, that's him! In the "Eliminate the Four Pests" campaign, the four pests were originally identified as: rats, flies, mosquitoes and fleas.
But Lao Guo wrote an article called "Curse on Sparrows", which led people across the country to classify sparrows as one of the four pests, and a vigorous campaign to eradicate sparrows began.
In fact, the government’s advocacy of eradicating the four pests is actually a very good activity.
In this era, people did not pay much attention to sanitary environment and personal hygiene, supplies were scarce, and everyone was physically weak, so people often contracted infectious diseases from animals.
Such as plague, dysentery, etc. What is more terrible is that the medical level in this era is very low. Some common infectious diseases have a particularly high mortality rate.
What should we do? Prevention is better than cure!
To prevent disease, we must start from the source and eliminate the source of the disease first.
Aren't rats, flies, mosquitoes and fleas capable of spreading diseases? If we all work together to eliminate them, the problem will be solved!
If we say that the power of the people is unlimited, why should we be afraid of you rats and bedbugs?
Therefore, led by the government and with the health department deploying supervision, a vigorous "Four Pests Eradication" campaign was launched.
The old lady said: "Zhao Zhao, I went too late today and didn't get a fly swatter. What do you think we should use to kill flies and mosquitoes?"
Han Zhaozhao was confused: "Damn, mice are big, so it's easy to catch and count them. Flies, mosquitoes and fleas are only tiny. If you use a fly swatter, they will become rotten shit. How can we collect and count them? How many tasks did the neighborhood committee assign us?
How many do a person have to hand in? Is there a specific number?"
"Ah? I don't know!" The old lady was also confused when asked, "Oh, I was so excited that I just wanted to grab the fly swatter and forgot to ask.
What should we do now? I didn’t even grab the fly swatter, and I don’t understand the matter. Will we fail to complete the task and become a typical example of a hindrance? "
