As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the cracks in the window and fell on her face, Su Tian slowly opened her eyes, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Another day off from work. I wonder if the seeds I planted a long time ago have borne fruit yet.

She looked at the black soil in the space and laughed...

Wow, so many juicy stories! This space is amazing!

Countless winter melons and pumpkins lay scattered across the black soil; she had only planted twenty or thirty seeds, yet so many had grown.

She opened her mouth and counted: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten..."

The winter melon and pumpkin harvest has yielded fifty fruits! Doesn't that mean we can make a good profit?

hehe……

She remembered that a few seeds had been planted in the vegetable garden at the educated youth settlement, so she quickly got up and ran to check. The melon vines and flowers hadn't even been picked yet, and it was nothing compared to the land in the open space.

There are so many melons, I can't even send them back to Su's parents.

I'll find Song Weiguang later and sell all these melons. First, I'll get up and cook breakfast.

She wanted something sweet in the morning, so sweet potato soup was the way to go.

Wash the pot, add water and bring it to a boil. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into chunks, put them in the pot, and they'll be ready to eat in ten minutes.

When you're in a good mood, eating something sweet makes you feel even better.

Taking advantage of the good weather, she carried a basket on her back and took a machete and shovel up the mountain again.

Today she wants to go to the foot of the mountain to see if there are any wild ginger shoots.

Ginger root, also known as sand ginger root or dog ginger root.

Its medicinal properties include removing dampness and promoting urination, which can help eliminate dampness from the body.

It can help alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, heaviness in the limbs, and thick, greasy tongue coating caused by excessive dampness. For example, in some southern regions where the climate is relatively humid, people use ginger root to make soup to help the body expel dampness.

It can also warm the stomach and dispel cold, and soothe the spleen and stomach. It can relieve symptoms such as cold pain in the stomach, vomiting clear water, and loss of appetite caused by spleen and stomach deficiency and cold.

Consuming ginger root can promote the digestive function of the spleen and stomach, and enhance the yang energy of the spleen and stomach.

Therefore, Su Tian wanted to dig some up to make pheasant soup to get rid of the dampness.

She reached the foot of the mountain, circled its perimeter, and finally spotted the plant beside a stream at the foot of the mountain.

The shovel was no good, so I threw it into my spatial storage. I took a hoe from there and started digging quickly.

After hoeing for half an hour, I dug up about two or three pounds of hoes, washed them clean, and put them in my basket.

I'll go look for more; I want to dig up more to send back to Guangdong Province.

Persistence pays off, and Su Tian found more than a dozen more ginger trees.

My Su Tian is simply blessed by God; she can hunt wild boars and dig up wild ginger.

Digging and digging, hoeing and hoeing, these dozen or so ginger trees can yield about ten kilograms of ginger rootlets.

"Today is another good day, a good day..." This is a song that Su Tian always hums when she's in a good mood.

As Su Tian walked, she suddenly passed by a cowshed.

She saw an old man cleaning the cowshed. The old man was wearing tattered clothes and his back was slightly hunched.

He looked lifeless, listless, and devoid of any spirit.

Are these cowsheds inhabited by people who have been sent down to the countryside? How come she's never heard of them since she's been here?

It seems we need to ask Song Weiguang to find out, since some of those who were sent down to the countryside will become top-notch figures in the country in the future.

Su Tian continued walking back to the educated youth settlement, temporarily putting aside the matter of the cowshed.

I glanced at my watch; it was only 11 a.m.

Su Tian returned to the educated youth settlement, put down her things, and decided to cook first.

She took out a chicken from her spatial storage, cleaned it, stir-fried it in an iron pot for a few seconds, added some water, cut a few pieces of ginger, and began to slowly stew it.

Wash the clay pot again, put in the washed rice and cook it.

While waiting, she took out a book and started reading.

As time passed, the aroma of chicken soup filled the air. Su Tian's stomach rumbled as she smelled it. She glanced at her watch; it was almost one o'clock. She wanted the people at the educated youth settlement to taste the soup she had prepared from Guang Province.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door, and the educated youth returned one after another.

They smelled the chicken soup and exclaimed, "It smells so good!"

Su Tian smiled and said, "Come and try my stewed wild ginger chicken soup! It's a specialty soup of our province. Everyone should have some to get rid of the dampness."

"Okay, coming right away..."

The people at the educated youth settlement were very happy. Su Tian would sometimes share her food with them, and they would also bring some things back for Su Tian.

"Su Zhiqing, here's a can of fruit for you. Thank you for the chicken soup." Zhou Dajun said, handing it to Su Tian.

"Isn't that necessary? Everyone, please don't be so polite."

"Of course, how could we drink from you if we didn't? Wouldn't that make us look like petty opportunists?"

"Okay, then I'll take it."

Next, some of the educated youth gave Su Tian White Rabbit candy, some gave her steamed sponge cake, and some gave her osmanthus cake...

Su Tian carefully collected all the snacks they gave her. She was very happy, as everyone had given and received something in return and no one was trying to take advantage of her.

"Hey, Su Tian, ​​what do you mean by drinking this soup to get rid of dampness?" Liu Jianfeng, who lives in Beijing, asked.

The climate and environment of the South and the North are different, so their eating habits are also different.

"Dampness refers to the hot and humid weather in the south, or the damp seasons such as the plum rain season."

People with high humidity levels often feel heavy and tired, as if they are wearing a wet garment. Their limbs also feel sore and heavy.

Other symptoms may include a thick, greasy tongue coating and a sticky feeling in the mouth. The face and hair may also become oily very quickly.

Therefore, in the hot summer, people in Guangdong Province often stew a pot of soup to dispel dampness and regulate their bodies, making them healthier. When you're healthy, your mood naturally improves.
