Old Chen walked up to Chen Kai and the others, squatted down, and said happily, "Little brother, Xiao Tian, I bought you each a good thing. Can you guess what it is?"
Chen Kai asked with a smile, "Fourth Brother, what is it? I can't guess."
Old Chen took out two wooden boxes from his pocket, gave one to Chen Kai and one to Xiao Tian, and said happily, "Open them and take a look."
Chen Kai opened the box and found a longevity lock inside, but it wasn't gold. So he asked, "Fourth Brother, how much did you pay for this longevity lock?"
Chen Laosi said, "It cost one tael of silver."
Seeing his brother's happy expression, Chen Kai couldn't help but tease him, "Fourth brother, this is fake. You should go and get the money back right away."
Upon hearing that it was fake, Chen Laosi immediately apologized, saying, "Brother, I'm sorry, I've never seen gold before and didn't know it was fake. I'll go find that swindler and settle the score right away." Then he angrily went to settle the score with the swindler.
When Chen Laosi found Chen Laoda and the others and returned to the stall, no one was there anymore; the stall owner had already run away with the goods.
Chen Laosi said angrily, "Damn it, they actually got away! Let's split up and chase after them!"
Just as Chen Laosi was about to go down the mountain to chase after him, he saw a jewelry stall not far away, and the stall owner was the same swindler who had just sold him the longevity lock.
Old Chen walked over angrily.
Chen Kai and his group also felt that their family had lost one or two taels of silver, and they were unwilling to accept it. They wanted to get the money back, so they said, "Let's go and see. If they don't refund the money, we'll make sure that stall owner can't do business."
Just as Chen Laosi was at a stalemate with the stall owner, Chen Laoda arrived with his two daughters-in-law.
The stall owner wasn't afraid when he saw so many people coming.
The stall owner yelled, "You didn't buy your stuff from us, why should I get a refund? Are you trying to cause trouble?"
He guessed correctly, but there was no reward.
Chen Laoda's wife immediately overturned the stall, and the goods fell on the stall owner. Chen Laoda and his gang immediately subdued the stall owner and then gave him a good beating.
Those nearby, seeing the excitement, all gathered around to watch.
When Chen Kai and his group arrived, they saw that the family had beaten the stall owner black and blue. Chen Kai immediately felt that he had worried for nothing.
At this moment, two monks rushed over, trying to stop the Chen family from beating people, but they couldn't squeeze through at all and could only watch helplessly as the Chen family caused trouble.
Finally, the Chen family had had enough of their antics, vented their anger, and gotten their money back, so they let them off the hook.
Before long, the Chen family members gathered in the square, and Old Man Chen led them to get vegetarian food.
The vegetarian food at the temple was very bland, consisting of only clear soup and water.
Chen Kai said, "This cafeteria is quite big."
Old Man Chen said with a smile, "There are many worshippers in the temple, so the canteen must be big, otherwise how can it feed so many people?"
Chen Shi said, "Their back mountain is quite big. A few of us sneaked in to play just now and encountered a lot of pheasants and rabbits, but unfortunately we didn't catch any. We also ran into a little wild boar."
Xiao Bao's second brother took a sip of soup and said, "That little wild boar was so fierce. It kept chasing us. It's a pity we didn't bring any tools, otherwise we would have fought it. Later, we lured the wild boar to a group of monks."
Xiao Bao said happily, "As a result, the group of monks and the wild boars started fighting."
Chen Kai rolled his eyes. The eldest in his family liked to cause trouble, and the youngest was no better.
On their way back, they stopped when they passed a large field of daylilies.
Many people were picking daylilies in the wilderness. Most of them were people who went to Hanning Temple to burn incense today and picked some daylilies to take home and eat on their way back.
Chen Kai looked closely and realized that the daylily that Zhou and the others were talking about was actually the daylily.
In traditional Chinese medicine, daylilies are called Xuancao. They have the effects of relieving depression, calming the mind, relieving cough and phlegm, relieving asthma, and promoting urination. They can be used to treat symptoms such as insomnia or anxiety. In addition, they also have the effects of relieving asthma and promoting urination.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, daylilies are used to treat many ailments, such as insomnia and anxiety. Daylilies, also known as Hemerocallis fulva, are believed to have a good effect on relieving depression. For those experiencing insomnia, daylilies also have a good calming effect.
In addition, daylilies can help relieve coughs and reduce phlegm in patients with chronic coughs. Furthermore, daylilies have a dehumidifying effect, especially beneficial for those with eczema or swollen and painful joints. They also offer good adjunctive treatment for arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Therefore, daylilies are an excellent food ingredient that can provide very good therapeutic effects.
Daylilies are neutral in nature and can strengthen the spleen, improve the digestive function of the spleen and stomach, and alleviate symptoms such as abdominal distension, poor appetite, bland taste in the mouth, lack of thirst, vomiting, and loose stools. The flowers of daylilies are edible and have a heat-clearing and dampness-removing effect, relieving symptoms such as painful urination, hemorrhoids with bleeding, and damp-heat jaundice. Daylilies also promote lactation and are suitable for breastfeeding women. Furthermore, daylilies contain lecithin, an important component of human brain cells; moderate consumption can enhance memory and delay brain cell aging.
However, fresh daylilies contain some amount of the highly toxic colchicine, which can be easily removed by drying or high-temperature treatment.
Seeing that all the daylilies nearby had been picked by others, Old Man Chen said, "Let's find a place with more to pick."
They found a spot at the foot of the mountain, and seeing that there weren't many people there, they started picking.
Chen Kai also took a small hoe, found a small daylily, and started digging.
Upon seeing this, Old Chen smiled wryly and said, "Little brother, this little hoe is taller than you. Come on, what do you want to dig? I'll dig it for you."
Chen Kai said with a smile, "It's okay, big brother, I'll dig it myself. I'm going to dig it up to plant."
Although they also grow a lot of daylilies in their vegetable garden, he prefers to do it himself and enjoys the process of growing his own crops.
Old Master Chen said helplessly, "Alright then, be careful not to bump into anything. Xiao Tian, come here and keep an eye on your uncle."
After Boss Chen left, Xiao Tian said speechlessly, "You really have nothing better to do!"
Chen Kai said with a smile, "I'm not full yet. The food I ate at the temple is almost completely digested."
Just then, Xiao Bao ran over with a small hoe in his hand and said happily, "Uncle, let me help you dig."
Chen Kai laughed and said, "Okay, be careful when you dig."
