Chapter 11 Discovery of Houttuynia cordata

"Do you want to go to the river?" Zhang Anmin asked.

"Yes, I want to go to the river with my dad. Staying at home is too boring."

Early summer has basically figured out the terrain of Taohua Village. After visiting the village, there is no gain. Before she went there, there is only the riverside and Aoshan a little far away. She wants to go to these two places to see if there is any way to make a fortune.

"Okay, then you can be a little helper for dad and help dig some bait."

The bait Zhang Anmin mentioned was earthworms. When Chuxia heard Zhang Anmin's words, she went back to the house and put down the basket, took a shovel to the outside of the yard. She casually found a piece of soil with relatively moist soil and started digging. She easily dug a lot of earthworms and put them in bamboo veins.

After repairing the fishing net, Zhang Anmin brought fishing tools, fish baskets, etc. in early summer, and the father and daughter walked towards the dike. The river they were going to fish was called Liuyang River, which is a branch of the Han River flowing through Taohua Village. The water in the Liuyang River is deeper and there are many water plants on the shore. The children in the village basically only play in the streams in the village and will not run here. Only fishermen or villagers like Zhang Anmin who fishes will come here.

When he arrived by the river, Zhang Anmin told Chuxia not to play in the water, so he watched on the shore, while he was busy preparing to go into the water to catch fish.

"Just stay and don't run around. When your father catches a few big fish, there will be fish to eat at night."

"I know Dad, I'll be walking around nearby. Don't worry about me. You can catch fish as soon as possible. Otherwise, the fish will go home for dinner later." Chu Xia made a face.

In addition to them, there were also a few fishing villagers like them by the river. Chuxia stayed on the shore for a while and planned to look around.

Although there were some open spaces beside the dike, the land did not produce grain, and it was covered with weeds and unknown wild flowers. When she walked and looked at it in early summer, she did not find anything particularly rare. Before she knew it, she walked a little far away. When she looked up, she was almost at the end and found that there might be nothing in front of her, she returned along the road.

Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps back, she discovered something that shone in front of her eyes on the shore, Houttuynia cordata! She was afraid that she would read it wrong, so she squatted down and looked closer. It was Houttuynia cordata!

Houttuynia cordata is a Chinese medicine that has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, diuretic and reducing swelling. It is widely used in the treatment of pneumonia, colds and fevers, etc. It is a basic medicinal material. I never thought that I could find it here. If Houttuynia cordata can be sold to the pharmacy in the sun, it might be a way to make money.

She ran to the place where Zhang Anmin placed the fishing tools, freed up an empty fish basket, and ran back to pick Houttuynia cordata with the fish basket on her back. The Houttuynia cordata here is in pieces and has not been picked yet.

She was picking vigorously, and footsteps came from behind, "Early summer, why are you picking this weed here?"

It turned out that Zhang Anmin drew a good net and turned around and saw that the girl was not on the shore. She was worried about something wrong, so she looked for it on the shore. She found that the girl was squatting here and didn't know what she was picking.

"Dad, do you know the thing you picked?"

"Isn't the weed you pick? What do you want it? Even your mother can't use this thing even if she makes wild vegetables."

After hearing Zhang Anmin's words, Chuxia confirmed that the people here did not know that this was a Chinese herbal medicine that could be sold for money, so she felt relieved. But she didn't dare to say what this thing was. If she knew that this thing was valuable, what would everyone come to pick it? She had seen it through raspberry today, so she planned to hide it from it.

"I want to use this to make tea."

Zhang Anmin used to work for short-term workers in the town. He had seen rich families drink tea, and they were all fine tea leaves. Even for farmers, they used chrysanthemums to make tea. But they had never seen anyone who made tea with these wild grasses.

"If you want to drink tea, please ask your mother to go to your big-footed mother's house to borrow some dried chrysanthemums to come back." I thought she wanted to drink tea.

"No, I'll just use this." Chuxia Bian said that his hands were not idle, so he continued to pick them.

Seeing that his daughter was so excited about this, Zhang Anmin thought that the girl was interested again, so he wanted to let her go. Seeing that the little man had picked it for a long time, there was only a little in the fish basket, he bent down to help pick it together.

After the two picked it for a while, Zhang Anmin looked at the sun and said, "Early summer, it's almost done. Let's go back and we have to collect the nets for the fish."

Chuxia looked at the Houttuynia cordata in the basket and pressed it tightly with her hands. She thought that she couldn't finish picking it today, and then picked it myself when she had time. She looked up and replied happily, "Okay."

Today, Zhang Anmin caught three breams, which were quite large, and the rest were some small fish.

It seems like you can have a good meal at night.

I made one fish, and the other two were intercepted by the old lady Cai. One was given to my aunt and the other was given to my aunt's house because Shuanzi liked to eat fish.

"Thank you, my second brother." My aunt never forgets to dig the well when she drank water. She knew that Zhang Anmin was an honest person and had no intention of being so mean. Anyway, she just opened her mouth to talk about it. Anyway, she had a good relationship and could ask him for help if she had anything to do in the future.

"It's all a family, why do you thank me?" Zhang Anmin smiled honestly, "If Shuanzi wants to eat fish in the future, just tell me."

Dad, you are just a good person, but you know that good persons will suffer losses, Chu Xia sighed in his heart.

Seeing that the eldest aunt said that, the third aunt felt it would be better not to say anything, so she reluctantly said, "Thank you, second brother, and your third brother can't do your work. I'll have to work hard in the family these days."

Mr. Zhang, who was sitting in the main seat, was very satisfied with this scene. The family fell in love with each other, unlike other people's family who were divided and frustrated. This also shows that the head of the family has good teaching, so that he can also be ashamed of going out in the village.

There were more than a dozen fish, and of course there was not much fish on the table. Liu's cooking skills were not bad. Although there were no complicated methods, they were just simple seasonings and cooking, but they also had a taste of food. Liu also secretly gave Chuxia a small stove before the meal, and he drank enough fish soup.

Thinking of dealing with Houttuynia cordata in her room, Chuxia got off the dining table early. Liu wanted her to eat more, but unexpectedly, the girl ran very quickly after getting off the table, looking hurried, and didn't know what to do when she ran into the room.
