Spring is the season when all things come to life and the grass grows and the orioles fly; spring is the season when the willows are red and the flowers bloom; spring is also the season when people like to "play with flowers and grass"!

Haha! What is said here is that people like flowers and plants in spring, and they like to collect some spring wild vegetables to "test spring dishes". Therefore, this kind of flirting with flowers is not the same as that of flirting with flowers! No, I came to the small mountain village where my mother-in-law lives for a few days on business, and I really "played with women".

In the north, there are many edible wild vegetables in spring. Common ones include shepherd's purse, dandelion (dandelion), wormwood sprouts, old cow rasp, thorn sprouts, bracken and so on. These wild vegetables are not only delicious, but most of them have certain medicinal value. Regular consumption has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on some diseases.

Since wild vegetables have so many benefits, we can’t just eat such good things in a daze. We must know more or less simple knowledge about various wild vegetables.

Today I will talk about the wild vegetable picked yesterday - Lao Niuji.

Lao Niujia, scientific name is Feilian, also known as Feiqing ("Ben Jing"), Tianchi, Fu Zhu, Fu Rabbit, Fei Pheasant, Mu He ("Bie Lu"), Fei Lian Artemisia ("Qian Jin Yifang"), Lao Niucuo ("Heilongjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine"), red flower grass, thorn grass, triptych ("Hunan Medicine"), Dali Wang, maple head tree, Feidian (Su Medical "Chinese Herbal Medicine Handbook" "),etc.

It is widely distributed in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Sichuan. It mostly grows on hillside grasslands, forest edges, meadows and woodlands.

As a medicine, it has the functions of dispelling wind, clearing away heat, diuresis, cooling blood and dispersing blood stasis. It is mainly used to treat wind-heat colds, dizziness due to head wind, wind-heat paralysis, itchy skin, bruises and bruises, boils, swelling and poison, and burns due to soup.

The word "file" in Lao Niujia is also written as "wrong". When the old beef is tender, it is a very delicious wild vegetable. Its taste is as fresh as other wild vegetables, and it also has its own unique tenderness and crispness. When used in sauce, cold sauce and stir-fried, the taste is memorable. When it is older, It can also be used to make small tofu, which is delicious.

Why is such a good thing called an old ox file? I was puzzled. It’s good to think about it later. Think about it, this is something that everyone is happy to eat, how can Lao Niu miss it? Lao Niu is wrong. In fact, it should be said that Lao Niu will not miss this delicious food.

When the old cow file gets old, the small burrs around the leaves have turned into hard sharp thorns. The thorns are as hard as a steel file. At this time, people are sure There is no way to eat it. Even if the old cow eats it in his mouth, he will know that he has eaten it wrong. Why, because it hurts his mouth. Judging from the above explanation of one belt and two, it is not unreasonable to write it as "Lao Niu file" or "Lao Niu cuo"!

Based on many years of experience in picking (digging) wild vegetables, I would like to tell you that when you pick (dig) wild vegetables, you must follow a basic principle, that is, only bully the younger ones and try not to offend the older ones. of. Because many wild vegetables are delicious when they are young, but if you bite the bullet and eat them when they are old, they will definitely taste like grass. Wild vegetables such as willow buds, thorn buds, and eleuthero leaves are all proving this principle in different ways. When they are young, everyone loves them, but when they grow old, no one is proud of them; because no one has the ability to eat the wormwood and branches that have grown into old poles.

In the past few years, people rarely picked Lao Niu Cuo for fear that it would prick their hands; even those who picked pigs and vegetables were not interested in it at all. In the past few years, as people pay more and more attention to wild vegetables, people have begun to discover its uniqueness, so it has become a delicacy on people's tables in spring.

It is said that there is another legend about Lao Niujia: It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, Pang Tong was hit by several arrows in a battle with the enemy, and his blood flowed like a stream. Among the soldiers, there were those who knew medicine and medicine, and they hurriedly followed the path. He picked an herbal medicine nearby, rubbed it and applied it to the arrow wound, which quickly stopped the bleeding from the wound. It is said that the herbal medicine used by this soldier was this old ox file.

With such a magical legend following, it would be strange if the value of this old cow file does not double!

Okay, that’s all for today’s gossip about Lao Niu File. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

And here’s a jingle to thank you for reading: The spring breeze is urging spring to come, and wild vegetables are sprouting everywhere. I advise you to pick more, it will be out of date.
