Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth
Chapter 208 Wild Yam
Gu Qingzhi readily agreed: "Of course!"
She couldn't help but think of the time some time ago when Gu Hao pestered her mother to make a lot of persimmon cakes.
Oh, yes, persimmon!
She also had some in her little bag.
Gu Qingzhi smiled and took out the persimmon cake and handed it to Gu Hao, saying, "Here, you can't eat too much of that. Try this."
Wow! Sister, you are so awesome! What else is in this bag?
"There are so many things in it..." Gu Qingzhi smiled mysteriously.
"What is it?" Gu Hao stretched his neck, curious.
Seeing her brother's cute appearance, Gu Qingzhi wanted to tease him: "There are beef jerky, dried fish, chicken jerky, pork jerky..."
Every time Gu Qingzhi said something, Gu Hao swallowed his saliva.
Gu Qingzhi took out the cloth bag with a smile: "Eat it!"
Gu Hao looked at these exquisite foods and drooled. He looked at Gu Yan, who simply couldn't bear to look at them.
"Eat it, it's all made by your sister." Gu Qingzhi also said.
"Hmm..." Gu Hao responded, then carefully reached out his hand, took out a piece of beef jerky from the bag, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Really delicious!
Gu Hao thought to himself, but his eyes were still fixed on the other food in the bag.
Seeing Gu Hao's expression, Gu Qingzhi was amused, and she said directly: "Hao brother, what do you want to eat?
Take it yourself!
These are all made by my sister herself. Just take whatever you want to eat and then make more after you finish eating. "
These dried meats were packed by Wang in the morning and asked her to take them with her.
Hearing that Gu Qingzhi would go up the mountain to collect herbs during this period, Wang felt very distressed, but she also knew that her daughter was very independent now and no one could stop her from doing what she wanted to do. She could only find ways to bring her more food so that she wouldn't go hungry.
After all, it’s not very convenient to do anything on the mountain.
But would Gu Yan let his sister starve?
That definitely won’t happen!
So he had prepared some food long ago, and he cooked it all himself.
He knew what Gu Qingzhi liked to eat, so he specially made some of her favorite snacks and pastries.
Although it is not as delicious as the ones made by Gu Qingzhi, it is also a token of his love.
Gu Qingzhi felt warm at heart when she saw these foods.
She knew her brother's care and love for her, and understood the importance of family.
She secretly vowed to take good care of herself and not let her family worry.
At the same time, she also has to study hard, help more people, and make herself stronger.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Gu Yan asked Gu Hao and Gu Qingzhi to continue digging yam here, while he went to look for a place nearby to have lunch and take a nap.
Just now, when they continued walking forward after resting, they encountered a large area of wild yam.
At first, no one noticed it. It was only when the donkey went to eat on the ground that Gu Qingzhi discovered that there was a large area of wild yam growing nearby.
The stems and leaves of these yams have all withered. It took Gu Qingzhi a lot of effort to recognize that they are wild yams.
Gu Qingzhi's eyes darkened slightly, and she thought: Yam is a good thing!
It has a wide range of medicinal value and application areas.
According to medical books, the source of yam picking is very particular, and it is usually picked in autumn when the stems and leaves wither.
This is because the rhizomes of yam in autumn have fully absorbed the nutrients in the soil and achieved the best medicinal effect.
Gu Qingzhi looked at the yam in front of her and found that its stems and leaves had indeed all withered. Now was indeed the best time to harvest it, which was why Gu Qingzhi took a lot of effort to identify it as yam.
She thought to herself how lucky she was.
Gu Hao asked Gu Qingzhi seriously: "Sister, what should we pay attention to when we dig these yams?"
This is actually the question he asks every time he encounters medicinal herbs that he has not picked before.
After all, there were too many medicinal herbs and he couldn't identify them all, so he usually dug them the way Gu Qingzhi told him to.
He is a good and obedient assistant.
Gu Qingzhi smiled and said, "Brother Hao, don't be nervous, do you still remember how we dug astragalus before?
This is similar to digging for astragalus.”
She paused and added: "When digging, we need to carefully dig the yam rhizome out of the soil and try to avoid damaging its skin.
After all, if it is damaged, it may affect its medicinal value.”
Gu Hao scratched his cheek and asked, "Sister, can this be used as medicine?"
This time it was Gu Yan who answered: "According to medical books, yam needs to go through a series of processing after being picked before it can become the Chinese medicinal material that we see in daily life."
Gu Qingzhi also nodded, remembering the records in medical books. There are many ways to prepare yam, the most common of which are drying and frying.
Sun drying means washing the picked yam, placing it in a well-ventilated place to dry, allowing the moisture to evaporate slowly until it is completely dry.
For stir-frying, cut the yam into slices or cubes, put it into a pan, heat and stir-fry until the surface turns slightly yellow and emits a unique aroma.
In addition, there are other methods such as steaming, boiling, soaking, etc., and you can choose the appropriate preparation method according to different needs and uses.
These processing methods can not only improve the medicinal effect of yam, but also extend its shelf life, making it easier to store and transport.
Of course, conditions such as time, temperature and humidity need to be strictly controlled during the processing process to ensure the quality and safety of the yam.
At the same time, we should also avoid using too many other substances and over-processing to maintain the natural characteristics and nutritional components of yam.
Only carefully processed yam can truly exert its medicinal value and bring benefits to people's health.
While Gu Qingzhi was deep in thought, Gu Hao asked curiously, "Sister, are you going to prepare these yams? How are you going to prepare them?"
Gu Qingzhi thought about it and then explained it in plain language, "Put the yam in a place with good air circulation and low humidity, and let it dry naturally.
The yam processed in this way can be stored for a long time, so we can take it out and use it anytime and anywhere.
Stir-frying is another good choice. First cut the yam into slices, then put it into the pan and stir-fry until it turns slightly yellow.
In this way, not only can the medicinal effects of yam be enhanced, but also its taste can be improved, making it more acceptable to the public.”
"Well, sister, how about I help you fry these yams after I get home tonight?"
"That's great! Brother Hao can help make a fire."
"Sister, I can also help you slice the slices! I'll cut it any way you want."
Gu Qingzhi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"Great! There are so many yams here, it really requires everyone to work together."
