Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

After Han Zhaozhao finished cutting the water celery, he started cutting mint. He put the water celery into the space and left the mint directly on the rocky beach beside the stream to dry.

After drying for two days, she can sell them to drugstores. Even if a mosquito leg is small, it is still meat! She has to earn a few cents even if her financial situation is not good.

Mint has the functions of dispelling wind and heat, clearing the head and improving eyesight, and relieving itching.

Combined with Platycodon grandiflorum and licorice, it can treat wind-heat colds, headaches, fever, and sore throats.

Combined with burdock seeds and cicada shells, it can treat measles.

Combined with mulberry leaves and chrysanthemums, it can treat eye inflammation and skin itching.

It is one of the Chinese herbal medicines commonly used to relieve summer heat.

Han Zhaozhao worked until sunset before he put on his backpack and went down the mountain to go home.

On the way, she transferred a male wild duck out of the space. The family had been without meat for several days, so it was time to have a meat meal to satisfy their cravings!

Han Zhaozhao hummed a song and looked at the hillsides on both sides as she walked. It seemed that she had found another way to make money!

There are jujube trees everywhere on the hillside. This year may be a good year, so there are an especially large number of jujubes on the trees.

The tree was covered with clusters of small green fruits as big as little fingers.

Ziziphus jujuba seed is also a commonly used Chinese medicinal material, which has the effects of nourishing the liver, calming the mind and astringing sweat.

Stir-fried Chinese jujube seeds combined with Salvia miltiorrhiza and Anemarrhena asphodeloides can treat neurasthenia, insomnia, forgetfulness, palpitations, and chest tightness.

Combined with Phellodendron chinense and Rhizoma Cibotii, it can treat spontaneous sweating and night sweats.

The sour jujube was later called "Oriental sleeping fruit". The flesh is rich in iron, potassium, zinc and other vitamins and organic acids. It was once sold for twenty yuan per pound in supermarkets.

Wild jujube trees are amazing and come in many different varieties and flavors.

Some are round in shape, with thin flesh and large core, and taste sour.

Some have pointed ends and are olive-shaped, slightly larger in size, taste sweet and sour, with thick flesh and small core.

Some are larger in size, only slightly smaller than domestic dates, and look similar to domestic dates. They have thick flesh and the smallest core, and taste particularly sweet, in no way inferior to Leling golden dates.

Han Zhaozhao has always suspected that Leling Golden Silk Jujube is a superior variety of wild jujube.

When the sour jujube is ripe, it can be made into juice drinks, but without the advanced machines and technology of later generations, it is not available for drinking for the time being.

However, she can make some sour jujube flour, which can be soaked in water to drink, or used to make steamed buns or steamed dumplings.

Just as there is no fish in fish-flavored shredded pork, there is no noodles in sour jujube noodles.

Put the dried sour jujube on a grinding wheel and grind it. Remove the sour jujube seeds in the first grinding and grind the remaining pulp repeatedly several times to get a fine brown-red powder, which is sour jujube flour.

Especially for middle-aged and elderly people and pregnant women, drinking the water for two weeks continuously is very effective in treating insomnia, forgetfulness, and spleen and stomach disorders.

Cooking sour jujube flour with whole grains is not only nutritious, but also serves as a seasoning and whets the appetite.

Fresh sour jujubes can be used to make sour jujube cakes and sour jujube fruit peels.

Han Zhaozhao plans to make more fruit leather this year, which is the favorite of his friends.

However, you have to eat it behind the adults' back. Haha. Fruit leather promotes digestion and parents don't like their children to eat too much of this snack.

That night, Han Zhaozhao's family had a large vegetarian bun with braised wild duck in sauce, black fungus, eggs and water celery.

Of course, every time we cook something delicious at home, Grandpa Guan’s dish will always be included.

As soon as the buns came out of the pot, Han Zhaozhao, under the supervision of the old lady, picked out three large vegetarian buns, wrapped them in a cage cloth, and then served half a bowl of braised duck meat to the old man.

The old man hasn't cooked yet. He lives alone and has to make do with what he has.

He originally wanted to have the porridge cooked at noon for dinner. In his words, people get old and can't eat much, so he just had another meal of porridge.

But seeing how voraciously he was wolfing down a bun that was bigger than his fist, Han Zhaozhao suspected that the old man's stomach must have been made of elastic.

It can be loose or tight, all depends on his words!

There were twenty-six buns in a pot. After going to three stores, Han Zhaozhao delivered seven of them in a short while.

There are two for Xiao Sanzi's family and two for Xiaoyun's family. It is normal that they are not enough to eat, so they are just given to the children to satisfy their cravings and have a taste!

This is the relationship between old neighbors. Today you make something delicious and send it to me, and tomorrow I will prepare some rare food and share it with you.

The relationships become deeper and deeper as the neighbors come and go, and they get along better and better and become closer and closer. This is why a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative!

That night, Xiao Sanzi and his friends wanted to go up the mountain to catch scorpions, but they were forced to stop for three days, resulting in a loss of sixty or seventy yuan in income. They were a little anxious.

Han Zhaozhao stopped them. There was heavy dew on the mountain at night, and the road was slippery and unsafe. She didn't want to see her friends get hurt.

Another day passed, and the ground was dry and hard, and Han Zhaozhao stopped trying to stop them. She couldn't bear to spend more than 20 yuan a night.

The old lady was still ready to make a move, but was decisively suppressed by Han Zhaozhao.

Humph! Her old arms and legs are broken if she falls. She is much more risky than the young boys when she goes up the mountain! No risk is allowed!

The old lady was about to collapse after being filled with her granddaughter's evil voice for half the night.

Old lady: Oh my god! She will never nag again. It's like an old monk chanting sutras. Who can stand it? Did she learn this from me?

It's so powerful, how come she doesn't know it?

The old lady climbed onto the bed listlessly and fell asleep with her head covered. She was depressed by her little granddaughter!

Han Zhaozhao leaned on the door and listened to the old lady snoring, then chuckled.

She finally found the reason. No wonder she was so heartless in this life. It turned out to be a family trait!

In the main room, under the dim light as small as a bean, Han Zhaozhao was twisting hemp thread while reciting a medical book.

To study, one must make use of all the fragmented time in life and do two things at once. Han Zhaozhao has already become adept at this.

She has roughly finished reading one of the six new medical books and is currently studying and memorizing them carefully.

There are many medical theories in the book that Mr. Bai has never heard of before.

The three of them discussed the issue secretly behind closed doors. The argument was well-founded and supported by real medical records, which suddenly opened their eyes.

There are many prescriptions that are unheard of and unseen. After careful verification by Mr. Bai, these prescriptions are unique in their combinations. If they can really be used in practical treatment, they will definitely have unexpected therapeutic effects.

The three of us had once guessed that this might very well be the lifelong learning of a certain Chinese medicine master that was lost in the long river of history, and they could be considered to have found a treasure.

Han Zhaozhao thought that once she had thoroughly studied these medical books, her medical skills would surely be improved.

By then, it will be much easier to cure diseases and save lives, or to make money by making medicines.

At half past ten, Xiao Sanzi and his friends came back!

The dew made everyone wet. The three of them hurried along, their faces covered with sweat.

Han Zhaozhao couldn't help but sigh: Every penny is hard-earned!

There happened to be a lot of large vegetarian buns left from the steaming in the evening, so she stuffed two into each person's mouth and also took out a head of garlic to give to them.

Xiao Sanzi took a bite of the garlic clove and said, "It's delicious, and it tastes just as good as adding meat!

Zhao Zhao, is the filling for today's buns made by your milk or by you? They are so delicious!

I didn't eat a single bite of the two buns you gave me for dinner.

I don’t know how it happened, but my eldest brother came home at night and took all the buns away!”

Han Zhaozhao was puzzled: "Aren't you the most important person in your family? How come your eldest brother is so bold as to argue with you?"
