? On a cool and quiet morning in summer, the sky is bright and the sun has not yet risen. A small piece of land is covered with plants half a person's height. Emerald leaves, stout stems and branches, and tight buds stand upright on the branches. A kind old man is working in the field with a naughty child of six or seven years old. Her fingers plucked the slender buds from the branches flexibly and quickly. She must pick all the buds before the sun comes out. Once the sun shines, these tight buds will pop up and open in an instant. Although beautiful, their practicality will be lost in an instant.
This scene is the memory of my wife and grandma picking day lilies in the field when they were young. Grandma's day lily was planted for many years, and his memory lasted for many years. The picked daylily is full of water, so it must be completely dried in one day immediately, otherwise it will go moldy and deteriorate, and the day's work will be wasted. When there is no sun in rainy days, we should heat the heatable adobe sleeping platform, spread bamboo mats, hang the picked daylily on the heatable adobe sleeping platform and dry it in one day.
This is a hard and boring job. Sun-dried daylily can only be sold for 20 cents a catty. From May to July, the day lily will continue to grow for more than three months, and his work with his grandmother will last for two or three months. In the end, the income from selling dried daylily was only a few dollars.
Behind the seemingly beautiful flowers, there are silent hardships and efforts. Maybe this is the world. Behind every glamorous flower, there is invisible darkness and hardship.
Every year in mid-May, the annual horticultural event-Chelsea Horticultural Flower Show is held in London, England. All kinds of plants and flowers are in full bloom in Britain's royal gardens, but behind them, it is Britain's dark colonial rule over the world for hundreds of years that has collected so many plants.
The scientific name of day lily is day lily, which is a rare food in my childhood memory. You can only eat it on holidays, but you can't eat it on weekdays to buy dried daylily and soak it in cold water for half an hour. Remove the knots at both ends. Cut into pieces and fry with fungus eggs. It is delicious.
More than ten years ago, Emil Wakin Chau sang a popular song "Girl Without Sadness", whose name attracted people's hearts. It's a pity that I have been thinking for so many years that the girl without sadness is just a name made up by the singer. Until recently, a girl without sadness was called a day lily.
Day lily, also known as day lily, is a girl without sorrow. Perennial herbs of Liliaceae. No wonder it looks like a lily after flowering.
How did the girl without sadness get her name?
According to "Notes on Materia Medica", "Daylily is sweet, which makes people feel comfortable and forget their troubles." According to the Book of Songs, in ancient times, women planted day lilies at home because of their husbands' war, so as to solve their worries and forget their worries. From then on, the world called her "a girl without sorrow".
Hemerocallis is the mother flower of China.
The Book of Songs says, "The northern hall is dark, so you can plant the mysterious". The North Hall is where your mother lives and will represent her in the future. From then on, the house where my mother lived was also called Xuantang, and the day lily became my mother's name, and it also became the mother flower of China.
Ever since I learned that the day lily we have eaten for so many years is a girl without sorrow, my mood has been puzzling for a long time.
The hand of 20 16 pressed the replay, and many things came out of my memory and met me, such as the golden rain, such as a girl without sorrow. Thank you for the gift of time.
