Chapter 142 Toon Buds
Well, that’s all for Polygonum multiflorum, let’s go to Mu Jiangzi now.

After climbing over the hill, Lin Bei came to a few eucalyptus trees.

"This is the wood ginger flower that you saw just now, which is very similar to the Ganoderma lucidum spore powder."

"Now it's the flowering period of Zongzi japonica, and it was blown by the wind, so a lot of pollen fell on the green leaves over there."

Lin Bei explained, pointing to Mu Jiangzi covered with golden flowers.

"I'll go, the flowers are pretty pretty."

"Anchor, is this the Mujiangzishu you're talking about?"

"I've heard that wood ginger has a special smell. Is it made after the tree bears fruit?"

"It's a beautiful flower, but it hasn't produced any fruit yet."

"I don't know what Mu Jiangzi looks like."

"Station Master Lin, can you tell us something?"

The audience in the live broadcast room shouted one after another.

"Wooden ginger, also known as mountain pepper, litsea cubeba, is a deciduous small tree of the family Lauraceae."

"They can reach a height of 10 meters; the bark is grayish white."

"Young branches, yellow-green, conical terminal buds, alternate leaves, often clustered on the top of branches, lanceolate or obovate-lanceolate, membranous, pinnate veins, slender petioles, umbels axillary."

"Each inflorescence has 8-12 male flowers, the first leaves are open, the perianth lobes are yellow, obovate, the filaments are only pilose at the base, the fruit is spherical, blue-black when mature; it blooms from March to May, and bears fruit from July to September."

"What we are seeing now is when the wood ginger is blooming."

The fruit contains aromatic oil, which can be used as edible essence and cosmetic essence, and has been widely used as the raw material of high-grade spices, ionone and vitamin A; the seed contains fatty oil, which can be used for soap making or industrial use, but you may not know it. In fact, wood Ginger is also a traditional Chinese medicine. "

"The fruit of Mujiangzi is usually harvested between August and September. Its functions and indications are to strengthen the spleen, dry dampness, regulate qi, and eliminate food. It can treat stomach cold and abdominal pain, diarrhea, stagnation and fullness of food, etc."

"So don't think of it as a seasoning. It is actually a medicinal material, but many people are not used to its smell."

"It seems that some people don't like Chinese toon, or Houttuynia cordata, or coriander."

Lin Bei explained with a smile.

"It turns out that wood ginger seed is a semi-finished product that has not been processed into wood ginger seed oil."

"This kind of wood ginger seed fried lobster is often used with bullfrogs."

"Someone doesn't like coriander?"

"I don't know if Mujiangzi is good or not. Anyway, I can't stand Chinese toon and Houttuynia cordata."

"+1, I can barely accept coriander, but houttuynia cordata is a nightmare."

"Hahaha, is Houttuynia YYDS good, Chinese toon is also delicious."

"Have you ever eaten scrambled eggs with Chinese toon!?"

"No way, you don't even like eating Houttuynia cordata, and Chinese toon?"

"I think cilantro is YYDS, it tastes great."

"I don't eat coriander, and I feel dizzy when I smell it."

Netizens in the live broadcast room discussed.

Lin Bei's eyes lit up as he watched the bullet screens constantly flashing in the live broadcast room.

"Speaking of toon, at this time, there should be toon."

"Why don't we go pick some Chinese toon and go back to scramble eggs to eat." Lin Bei laughed.

"What? Chinese toon? Still eating? That's a nightmare, okay?"

"I feel dizzy when I smell that stuff, what's going on?"

"I'd rather eat a catty of coriander or a catty of Houttuynia cordata than toon sprouts."

"I think Chinese toon is delicious." (ω)

"Aren't you all monsters? You actually like to eat these heavy dishes"

Now that the toon sprouts are mentioned, Lin Bei will naturally not let go of this delicacy.

The current Mu Jiangzi has not yet produced fruit, but just bloomed, so Lin Bei can only sigh towards the tree now.

But not far from these wood gingers, there seem to be a few Chinese toon trees.

This undoubtedly became Lin Bei's goal.

"Stir-fried toon sprouts, fried eggs with toon, or deep-fried toon sprouts are all good."

Lin Bei came to a few Chinese toon trees not far away, which were as thick as a man's waist.

Start preparing to pick buds from the tree.

The toon buds on these thick Chinese toon trees grow very well.

The fresh and bright red buds seem to be stained with dewdrops, each dewdrop is hanging on it crystal clear, shining in color when it is illuminated by the sun.

"This kind of toon tree is taller, but there are more shoots on a book."

"If we encounter a shorter and smaller Chinese toon tree, we can use a bamboo pole to tie a path, or a wooden stick with a sickle to cut the Chinese toon buds."

"However, this kind of big tree is relatively strong, so I plan to climb up and pick it slowly."

"Toon trees, if you meet them again, you will find that as long as you walk into them, you will smell a particularly strong fragrance."

"Of course some people will feel dizzy when they smell this smell."

"But I think Chinese toon sprouts are quite delicious."

Lin Bei explained while climbing up the toon tree.

Hugging the trunk of the tree, Lin Bei kicked his feet and easily stepped on a branch.

"Toon sprouts have a very short edible period, and we can still eat them now. After a while, these toon sprouts will become old and cannot be eaten."

Lin Bei stepped on the thick branches of toon buds, stretched out his hand to pluck the front part of the branches and leaves, and the fresh and tender buds exuding the unique fragrance of toon buds were picked off.

"Brothers, look, this is a toon bud."

"Isn't this color particularly appetizing?"

Put the toon buds on the tip of the nose and sniff, the special fragrance instantly fills the nasal cavity, which is unforgettable for a long time.

"Hey, Station Master Lin, you still smell like this. I would rather smell the papa than the toon buds."

"Aren't you all monsters? You actually like to eat toon sprouts, they're so ugly."

"Yeah, I've eaten this thing once, and it's so expensive in the market that I vomited."

"Wooooow, I feel dizzy when I see this thing, I haven't eaten this since I was a child."

"Stationmaster Lin is really a sinner. You can see that he has picked a lot in just a few minutes."

"This kind of treasure, the concubine really can't do it."

Lin Bei picked a lot of buds from the toon trees beside him, and Lin Bei climbed down from the trees.

"After all, although these toon sprouts are delicious, you can't eat too much."

"Besides, there are so many wild vegetables in this mountain, waiting for Lin Bei to pick them."

Putting the toon buds into the bag, Lin Bei started wandering in the woods.

After a while, Lin Bei found a lot of Qingming grass.

The scientific name is sage koji, commonly known as buffalo flower, a low-growing herbaceous plant in the family Asteraceae. The leaves and stems are grayish-white and light green, with small yellow flowers at the top.It is a popular eating method in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions to make Qingtuan or Qingming fruit with fresh and tender leaf stems, leaves and unopened flower buds.

However, Lin Bei didn't have any interest in them, instead he turned his head to look at Qinghao not far away.

"Brothers, look, I found something good."

"This thing can be used as a special local snack, wormwood rice."

Lin Bei pointed to a large cluster of Artemisia annua at hand and smiled.

"What is this?? Wormwood?"

"Anchor, does your family eat wormwood?"

"I know that wormwood prevents mosquitoes and repels insects. It will also be hung in front of the door during the Dragon Boat Festival to drive away evil spirits, but can this thing be eaten?"

"The evil pen on the head, right? It's quite different from wormwood."

"This looks like Artemisia annua, right? It's shorter than wormwood, and it looks similar but different."

"Really? Brothers, wormwood and this thing are not a kind of plant?"
