Chapter 75 Planting Perilla



Li Zhenhua immediately stood a step away, his disgust evident in his words.

Li Youtian didn't notice at all. He carefully selected three cucumbers, looked up and waved to Song Beibei: "Thanks, we're going back."

Song Beibei: “…Yeah.”

After dinner.

Song Beibei slept for half an hour, then slowly got up, picked up the seeds and walked towards the medicine garden.

Today, she is going to plant perilla.

First, prepare the soil, then dig a hole every 70 cm and sprinkle 7 or 8 seeds in it.

Cover with soil, press it lightly, and then water it.

In this way, the planting is done.

She looked carefully and saw the progress bar show: "60/60".

Perilla is also known as perilla leaf, perilla, and seaweed. It is generally regarded as a seasoning, but it is actually also a Chinese medicinal material.

It has the effects of dispelling cold and relieving exterior symptoms, promoting lung function, promoting qi and resolving phlegm, calming the fetus, neutralizing and detoxifying, and detoxifying fish, shrimp and crab poison.

This is also the reason why people living along the coast basically use perilla leaves when cooking seafood.

They may not know the deep meaning of it, but it has been passed down from generation to generation.

The same is true for the mint and honeysuckle she planted on Plant No. 8.

Mint is generally used to relieve summer heat and freshen breath; but it also has the effects of removing phlegm and relieving cough, inhibiting pathogens in the body, inducing sweat and relieving fever, and promoting bile secretion.

Honeysuckle, also known as honeysuckle, silver flower, double flower, golden vine flower and mandarin duck vine.

Its name is known to everyone.

As we all know, it can clear away heat and detoxify, and is also known as the "No. 1 flower for clearing heat and detoxifying."

The flowering period is from April to June.

Honeysuckle is already in full bloom on the back mountain. A few days ago, when she went to get seeds, she met a few young girls picking flowers.

After being dried, the honeysuckle can be sold to the county’s state-owned pharmacies at 10 cents per pound, which is a considerable income for the villagers.

At least, I have enough money to buy salt for a year.

Song Beibei did not compete with them for business. She had many ways to make money, so there was no need to take up other people's few opportunities to make money.

Finished planting.

Li Chunxia also got up.

Li Zhenhua and his son had not arrived yet, so she went to the front yard to wash her hands and followed them to the brigade headquarters.

The gate is not locked.

Two people can come in directly.

This afternoon, her task was to cut grass for pigs, a total of 200 kilograms.

She didn't go to the river.

Instead, he turned and went into the mountains.

Song Beibei planned to collect seeds while cutting grass for the pigs.

"Wild Lily?"

Just after entering the mountain for a while, she found a wild lily. She was immediately cheered up, put down her backpack, squatted down and started digging the soil.

Wild lily is also a Chinese medicinal herb.

The flowers are sweet with a hint of bitterness. They are delicious when stir-fried or used to scramble eggs.

The fried lily pollen is soft and sticky.

The root of wild lily is a Chinese medicinal herb.

But please note that lilies are poisonous and must be processed before eating.

After great effort, I finally dug out the complete wild lily.

There is only one plant in total.

There was not enough food for cooking, so she planned to transplant the plants back and use them to get seeds.

Keep searching.

Perhaps her luck had run out, her backpack was full, and she had not yet come across a second plant that interested her.

"Forget it, hand over the pig grass first."

This backpack is fully filled with about 50 kilograms of pig feed, and she has to make three trips.

20 minutes later.

Song Beibei came out of the brigade headquarters carrying an empty backpack. Beside her was Li Chunxia. Her task was to catch snails in the river as food for the ducks raised by the brigade.

"I just put about ten pounds of it in the Youth League compound. I'm keeping it in water and sprinkling some salt on it to help it spit out the sand. Once it's done, you can fry it for lunch tomorrow."

Fried conch?

Fried conch with perilla, fried conch with sweet potato, fried conch with spicy sauce, spicy conch, spicy braised conch...

In an instant, countless ways to cook snails flashed through Song Beibei's mind, and his mouth began to water.

Song Beibei didn't argue with her this time and nodded immediately: "Leave it to me."

at the same time.

She was already thinking of the recipe in her mind.

For 10 pounds of snails, why not make them into two flavors: fried snails with perilla and spicy snails.

After making up her mind, she thought to herself, "Then I won't collect seeds for now. I'll go get some wild seasonings. If I want to fry these snails well, I have to season them well."

It was helpful for her to go into the mountains every day to collect seeds these days. She knew where many wild spices grew, such as wild pepper, wild Sichuan pepper, wild coriander, wild celery, wild onion, wild garlic sprouts, wild ginger...

The land that has not been polluted by industry is full of treasures and is rich in products.

If it weren't for the reward, I wouldn't have to farm this land.

Sudden.

Li Chunxia's puzzled voice rang in her ears: "Who offended Fang Juexia? She looks so unhappy!"

Song Beibei raised her head subconsciously.

It just so happened that Fang Juexia was walking forward hurriedly with a gloomy face.

Her eyes suddenly lit up.

Could it be...

Li Chunxia complained, but didn't take it too seriously. "I went to the river to look for snails."

Song Beibei nodded perfunctorily.

Then, he took a step and chased in the direction Fang Juexia left.

This is a big show.

She can't miss it.

Along the way.

She did not hide her whereabouts, but Fang Juexia walked quickly and never looked back.

I don’t know how long it took.

Xu Zhi's cries reached her ears: "Uncle and aunt, please don't touch my parents' graves, please..."

"If I did something wrong, you can beat me or scold me, but why are you doing this..."
