Dendrobium candidum had a wide range of medicinal uses, and it was very important for people's health. Therefore, people called it Fairy Grass, which was absolutely well-deserved. It was people's love and gratitude for Dendrobium candidum. No one dared to question the name of Fairy Grass, and no one dared to underestimate its value.
"It turns out that Fairy Grass has so many uses. It seems that I need to pick more and eat it as a meal in the future. Haha! "
Chen Long said excitedly.
Obviously, this guy had misheard. Although Dendrobium Candidum was a very precious medicinal herb, it definitely couldn't be eaten as a meal. If one really ate this herb as a meal, they would definitely suffer from malnutrition. Any precious medicinal herb couldn't be eaten as a meal, otherwise, it would only harm oneself.
"Eating Fairy Grass as a meal? Are you planning to become a monk? Besides, Fairy Grass is so precious. How can there be so many for you to eat as a meal? "
Ang Lee joked with a smile.
Chen Long also smiled. He was just expressing his feelings. How could he really eat Dendrobium candidum as a meal? He was not a fool.
"Assistant Minister Li is right. Fairy Grass is not a green vegetable. I can eat as much as I want. However, what does this have to do with becoming a monk?"
Chen Long asked with a smile.
Ang Lee said, "Of course it has something to do with it. Fairy Grass is vegetarian, right? Monks eat vegetables every day. If you eat grass as a meal every day, isn't that the same as being a monk? Then what's the difference between being a monk and not eating mutton? "
"Hahaha!"
Everyone was amused.
Although Dendrobium candidum was a good thing, it was still a medicinal herb after all. How could its taste be compared with mutton? It was okay to eat it occasionally, but if one really ate it three times a day, no one could stand it. It would make one die of hunger.
Of course, there was another reason why Ang Lee said that Chen Long wanted to become a monk. It was because he thought of some things in the future. It was also about people carelessly eating supplements.
It was said that there was a well-off young man whose parents doted on him very much. They heard that ginseng was good for nourishing the body, so they fed him ginseng every day. As a result, the young man often had nosebleeds and lost all his hair. This was because the young man's body was not weak and did not need nourishment at all. Forcefully taking in ginseng would only cause his body to not be able to take it, so he often had nosebleeds and lost all his hair.
Since eating too much ginseng could cause one's hair to fall out, what about eating too much Dendrobium candidum? It was only Ang Lee's guess as to whether or not it would lead to the same result. After all, Dendrobium candidum was a different type of herb, and it had different effects on the human body. Forcefully consuming it would lead to different results, so it was not easy to come to a conclusion.
"Assistant Minister Li, how should I use this Angel Grass? Should I dry it and grind it into powder, eat it raw, or boil it?"
Chen Long asked.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "Of course, you can eat it raw, boil it into tea, or grind it into powder! You can also boil it into medicinal plasters or soak it in medicinal wine. "
There were many ways to eat Dendrobium candidum. It seemed that any way would work. The simplest way to eat it raw was to take some fresh Dendrobium, wash it completely, and chew it carefully. At first, the taste was sweet and slightly sticky. When it was fresh and refreshing, the residue could be swallowed. This way of eating it strengthened the Yin and boosted the essence, appetizing the stomach and strengthening the spleen.
Boiling tea was also possible. This way of cooking it required first taking fresh Dendrobium and washing it clean, and at the same time removing part of the old roots. Then, the washed Dendrobium should be chopped or broken, and water should be added into the pot, according to the proportion of the soup one drank. After that, it should be boiled over a slow fire for 30 minutes, and then a little American ginseng should be added and boiled for a while. It could be boiled two or three times and eaten with the residue. Zhang Xichun, a famous doctor in the future, said that Dendrobium candidum was the most durable to be boiled. It should be split and boiled first to get the real taste. Boiling tea had the great effect of nourishing the deficiency, nourishing the Yin, and clearing away heat.
Brewing tea was different from boiling tea. It was also a way of eating it. It could stimulate the appetite, strengthen the spleen, and lower the heat. It was also effective for chronic laryngitis. The method was to take the Dendrobium bought from the pharmacy and wash it clean before cutting it into slices or breaking it into granules. After boiling it for a few minutes, it could be drunk and eaten with the residue.
Boiling ointment was also very common. This method had a significant effect on symptoms such as fatigue, limb pain, fatigue, night sweats, and so on. The specific method was to first wash the dendrobium and remove the impurities. Then, cut or break the dendrobium and boil it with water. After boiling it twice, discard the dendrobium and use a small fire to concentrate it. Then, add rock sugar and continue to boil it into a paste.
Soaking it in medicinal wine was also a popular method. It had the great effect of nourishing the kidney and nourishing the Yin. The method was to first wash the Dendrobium candidum and remove the impurities before cutting it into slices or breaking it into granules before soaking it in wine with a degree of 40 or above without adding any seasoning. It could be eaten three months later.
Of course, the most popular was still the food. This method tasted the best. It had the effect of nourishing the Yin and nourishing the body, resisting the weak heat, sweating, aching muscles and bones, and other common symptoms of physical weakness.
The method was to first wash the Dendrobium and remove the impurities before cutting it into thin slices or breaking it into granules. Add the Dendrobium and whole chicken or duck, add a little wine, half a piece of ginger, and no other ingredients. Simmer it together for a few hours. Add salt and sugar according to personal taste and eat it with the residue. Decoct it slowly with the Dendrobium and extract the juice. Add other ingredients to make porridge, soup, soup, and so on.
Ang Lee explained the usage and eating methods of the Dendrobium candidum in one breath. This surprised everyone. They didn't expect Ang Lee to know so much. At the same time, they also didn't expect the little fairy grass to have so many methods and uses. This made them even more eager to collect some back.
The Zhan clansmen naturally wanted to sell them. As for the fellows that Li An brought along, they wanted to use them to make delicacies. Although these fellows weren't rich, they weren't poor either. Following Li An, how could they be poor? They heard that the Fairy Grass had so many benefits and naturally wanted to eat some to nourish themselves. It would be a pity if they missed it.
Since everyone was interested in the Fairy Grass, Ang Lee naturally wanted to support them in collecting more. There were only a few clumps of Fairy Grass in the resting area, but as long as they continued to search, they would definitely find more.
"Pick all the Fairy Grass that you see. Don't leave any behind. Anyway, it's a waste to leave them here."
Ang Lee said.
On this resting area, in addition to the Fairy Grass, there were a few more expensive medicinal herbs, such as Wild Sanqi. However, compared to the Dendrobium candidum, it was much worse. After all, those that could be rated as one of the nine great Fairy Grass were all extraordinary medicinal herbs. Other medicinal herbs couldn't be compared to them.
After resting for a while, the group continued to walk down. As they walked, they observed the cliff for Fairy Grass. As long as they found it, they would stop to pick it.
In order to ensure fairness, Ang Lee said that the Fairy Grass would be divided into two portions. One portion would be given to the people of the Zhan Clan, and the rest would be left for himself and the soldiers. As long as they collected more, there would definitely be enough to share.
After walking for a few hundred steps, they came across more than a dozen places where Fairy Grass grew. Every place had a good amount of Fairy Grass, and some even grew into large patches. This made everyone very excited, especially the people of the Zhan Clan. They were the happiest because their clansmen didn't dare to come here. If there was really a lot of Fairy Grass here, then they could come here often to collect Fairy Grass in the future. Their standard of living would definitely be much higher than the rest of their clansmen. This naturally made them very happy. As for breaking the ancestral rules, as long as they didn't say anything, no one would know about it.
"There are so many Fairy Grass here. If we pick them all and sell them, we can make a lot of money and it can greatly alleviate the poverty of the Zhan Clan. But why did the ancestors of the Zhan Clan leave behind ancestral rules that forbade their clansmen to come to the Giant Pit to collect herbs? Isn't this forcing their descendants to be unable to live a good life? "
Chen Long said doubtfully.
This was also a kind of sigh. He felt that the ancestors of the Zhan Clan were too stupid. How could they allow their clansmen to live a poor life? There were treasures in the Giant Pit and they weren't allowed to touch them. This was too unreasonable.
Ang Lee said, "Perhaps the ancestors of the Zhan Clan felt that if they allowed their clansmen to enter the Giant Pit, these Fairy Grass would have been collected long ago. So they wanted to keep more!"
Chen Long said with a smile, "I think that maybe only the Patriarch's family would go down to collect herbs, and the rest of the clansmen wouldn't be allowed to do so. In this way, the Patriarch's family would be able to stay rich."
Ang Lee said with a smile, "How could that not be discovered? Even if the Patriarch's family didn't collect herbs, they would still be the wealthiest clan. They would be provided for by the entire clan."
Obviously, Ang Lee felt that this possibility was not big. Since it was an ancestral rule, everyone would have to abide by it. The Patriarch's family would not be the only one to have special treatment. Once it was discovered, the Patriarch would lose his prestige.
"Perhaps the ancestors of the Zhan Clan did this deliberately. They wanted to wait until their descendants couldn't live anymore before they used the things in the pit. Once they were really hungry, who would follow the ancestral rule?"
Chen Long said.
These words were very reasonable. Once a person was forced into a corner, they would do anything. The ancestors of the Zhan Clan probably wanted their prey to have a place where they would not be disturbed so that they would not be wiped out by their clansmen. At the same time, the precious herbs here would also survive. These herbs might not be within the scope of consideration of the ancestors of the Zhan Clan. They only considered that the prey could not be wiped out. Objectively speaking, it would also allow many precious herbs to continue to thrive.
Along the way, it was difficult to move forward. From time to time, they would collect the Angel Grass on the cliff. When they reached the bottom of the pit, everyone had collected at least a dozen pounds of Angel Grass. This was already a very impressive amount.
When they reached the bottom of the pit, everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief. They no longer had to use their hands and feet to walk. The safety was also greatly improved.
The vegetation at the bottom of the pit was also very dense. There were many trees and turf. There was no road at all. They could only chop the bushes while walking with difficulty.
"Gu Gu, Gu Gu!"
Just after walking a few steps, the wild birds in the grass on the ground were disturbed. These wild birds immediately flew away.
But soon, they flew back and hovered over the heads of Ang Lee and the others. They seemed to be more manic.
As soon as he saw the wild birds flying around manically, Ang Lee immediately judged that the nest of this wild bird was nearby. It was Ang Lee who disturbed its home. In addition, it must be its own child who could make the wild bird so nervous. Perhaps there were chicks or eggs in the nest.
The grass was very dense, but Ang Lee saw the position where the wild bird flew. Therefore, Ang Lee could naturally judge the approximate position of the nest.
"The wild bird flew from that direction. The nest must be there. There must be something in the nest. Let's go and have a look!"
Ang Lee said.
After a few steps, he saw the bird's nest and a nest of eggs in it. These eggs were not small. When he touched them with his hand, they were still warm. It seemed that the wild bird that had just flown up was incubating its own eggs.
"Six eggs. Is it not enough to fill the gap between the teeth?"
Chen Long said with a smile.
The wild bird in the sky found that its nest was discovered. It became more impatient and screamed more miserably.
Ang Lee saw that these eggs were not of much value and said with a smile, "Since it's not enough to fill the gap between the teeth, it's better to put it back in the nest! Look at how anxious the old bird is. "
Although the bird's eggs were also a delicacy, a few bird's eggs were really not enough to fill the gap between the teeth. Moreover, the old bird was flying around in the sky and was so anxious. This made Ang Lee very annoyed. If he shot the old bird down with an arrow, it would be a good idea. However, Ang Lee still felt that this wild bird was too small and did not have much meat.
Chen Long's mouth moved and put the bird's eggs back. He really regretted it. He regretted that he talked too much. He should not have talked nonsense. Mosquito meat was also meat. Now, he had to return the bird's eggs.
Although the grass was dense, the height was not bad. Most of the weeds were only the height of the knee. There were some weeds that were taller than the thigh. There were no weeds that were taller than a person's height. Therefore, overall, the line of sight was still good. The density of the trees was also not bad. Some places were more dense, while some were more sparse. In dense places, the sun could not shine on the ground. In sparse places, there was a large amount of sunlight shining on the ground, making the weeds on the ground green.
"Deer herd. There are deer in this sinkhole."
A member of the Zhan Clan found the deer herd a hundred steps in front of him and said excitedly.
It was not surprising that the deer herd could live here. After all, the diameter of this sinkhole was five hundred meters. The area was relatively large. There were more trees and weeds inside. With enough food, the deer herd could survive here. However, because the cliffs of the sinkhole were too steep, these deer could only live under the sinkhole. They could not go up at all and could not leave this relatively closed environment. The living environment was relatively bad and they could not see the wider world.
It was said that the frog at the bottom of the well had little knowledge. The deer in this sinkhole were the same. They lived under the sinkhole all day long and could not see the outside world. These deer in the sinkhole were not clear about anything in the outside world. They had never seen humans.
