Chapter 141 Chapter 140: Help them

Yang Chunyan walked back along the foot of the mountain and saw a lot of fish and loach strings growing on the roadside. It belongs to the Asteraceae family, a perennial herb that can be used as medicine.

Also known as fieldside chrysanthemum, roadside chrysanthemum, and malantou.

March and April every year are when the fish and loach skewers just grow. Its tender stems and leaves are still a very delicious wild vegetable and are also quite rich in nutritional value.

Its leaves have a layer of short hairs on them, green on the surface and light green on the underside. The leaves and flowers are very similar to wild chrysanthemums. The petals are lavender and the stamens are yellow. It can be harvested in all seasons. The whole plant can be used as medicine, either fresh or dried.

When it grows, the leaves on the stem are opposite, a bit like the small fish we caught in our childhood, which are strung together, so everyone calls it fish and loach skewers.

Fish and loach skewers: pungent, bitter, cold. The whole plant and roots can be used as medicine. They have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, dissipating blood stasis and stopping bleeding, and eliminating food accumulation.

It contains some volatile oils and pectin that can promote gastrointestinal motility and promote gastrointestinal digestion. It can also treat mumps, sore throat, hemorrhoids, carbuncles, erysipelas, and snake bites.

Yang Chunyan pulled up all the fish and loach strings in the grass, put them into the vegetable basket, walked back along the foot of the mountain, and pulled out a lot of mountain whip and plantain.

He didn't stop walking back until he was holding a bundle in his hands and the vegetable basket was full.

Zhou Huaian pushed the chicken bus forward panting, thinking that he would ask Yang Chunyan to go to Ning'an with him no matter what next time.

In the past, when I walked with her, I could stop a tractor within half an hour at most after getting on the asphalt road. This time, I didn't see one until I was almost in Ning'an.

In the past, even if the two of us were walking, we would talk and laugh together, push lots of things, and we wouldn't feel tired no matter how far we walked.

After finally arriving at North Street, I saw several people sitting in Dr. Wang's clinic. He walked to the door and said to Wang Zhen: "Doctor Xiao Wang, I'll push the medicine to the backyard and come back after I hand over the eels."

"Okay!" Wang Zhen came out from the medicine cabinet, "You push it into the alley, and I'll open the door for you."

Zhou Huaian nodded, took the eel bucket out of the car, placed it at the door of the clinic, and then pushed the chicken cart to the backyard.

He took out a small wooden bucket from the bamboo basket and said, "Those who went down to the cage net were steel loach and yellow spicy diced fish."

Wang Zhen was not polite and took the small wooden bucket with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Zhou!"

Zhou Huaian smiled and said: "There are a lot of them in the river ditch. If you want to eat, just tell me and I will get a fish trap."

"Okay!" Wang Zhen put down the small wooden bucket and lifted the bamboo basket down with him, "You go and hand over the eel first, and I'll come and weigh it when it's busy outside!"

"Yes! We didn't stop the tractor today, it's already a bit late." Zhou Huaian said as he pushed the chicken bus out.

"Brother Zhou." Wang Zhen called to Zhou Huaian who was walking to the door. "I bought the bicycle for you. I will give it to you when you come back. I also want to talk to you about the steel bars."
