Chapter 487 Kudzu vine
Zheng Sisi smiled slightly and explained patiently: "This is the kudzu vine. It may be called differently in different places, but it is a treasure!"
Then, she introduced the uses and economic value of Pueraria lobata vine to the villagers in detail.
"The roots of Pueraria lobata vine can be used to make medicinal materials to treat a variety of diseases. There is a large market demand for it and it is very expensive. In addition, the stems of Pueraria lobata vine can be woven into various handicrafts and have high artistic value. If everyone can make full use of these resources, it will not only protect the environment but also increase income," said Zheng Sisi.
"The main effects of Pueraria root are to relieve alcohol, lower blood pressure, clear away heat and detoxify. Long-term consumption can also improve sleep and increase immunity."
After listening to Zheng Sisi's words, the villagers suddenly realized that these kudzu vines, which are usually regarded as weeds, actually have such important value.
"What? This thing can sober you up, lower blood pressure, clear away heat and detoxify. Drinking it for a long time can also improve sleep and increase immunity." A villager exclaimed, "But we treat it as a weed."
His voice caused a commotion among the crowd. After hearing this, the other villagers' eyes flashed with surprise and curiosity. Someone couldn't wait to ask, "Princess, can it really be sold for money?"
Zheng Sisi nodded affirmatively and said with a smile: "Of course! As long as you are willing to dig, I will buy it at the price of two cents per pound." Her words were full of sincerity and determination, which made the villagers excited.
After hearing this news, many people began to calculate that if they could dig up dozens of kilograms of Pueraria lobata vines every day, it would be a good income.
"This is a good opportunity!" a villager said excitedly, "We have some vacant land at home where we can plant some Pueraria lobata vines. Then we don't have to go out to dig them up in the future." Others also echoed this and expressed their willingness to try to grow this magical plant.
The villagers expressed their willingness to learn how to collect and process Pueraria lobata vines in order to obtain more profits.
Zheng Sisi smiled and nodded, "Of course, but it should be noted that Pueraria lobata likes to grow in moist and fertile soil, so it is very important to choose the right land. At the same time, we must also pay attention to timely watering and fertilization to ensure a good growth environment for Pueraria lobata vines."
Zheng Sisi reminded: "But everyone must pay attention to safety when digging, and do not venture into steep slopes or dangerous places.
In addition, try to keep the integrity of the kudzu vine when digging it to ensure quality. If you encounter an unfamiliar kudzu vine, do not pick it at will to avoid accidentally eating a poisonous variety. "
Zheng Sisi patiently explained to everyone the techniques of digging kudzu vines, including how to distinguish the authenticity of kudzu vines, how to dig kudzu vines, etc. The villagers listened with great interest and raised their own questions from time to time, and Zheng Sisi answered them one by one.
Under the guidance of Zheng Sisi, a craze for collecting kudzu vines soon swept the village. Every morning, the villagers got up early and went to the mountains with tools to look for kudzu vines.
They traveled along the mountain trails, carefully searching for traces of kudzu vines. Sometimes, they would find a large patch of kudzu vines and be overjoyed; sometimes, they could only find a few kudzu vines, but they were still satisfied.
As time went by, more and more kudzu vines were brought back to the village by the villagers. Zheng Sisi's yard was filled with kudzu vines, forming a small hill.
Zheng Sisi looked at the pile of kudzu vines in front of her and smiled with satisfaction. She knew that these kudzu vines would not only bring a considerable income to the village, but also become the hope for the villagers to get rich.
In the following days, Zheng Sisi was busy like a spinning top.
Every morning, as soon as the sun rises, she comes to the kitchen and directs the cooks to start their day's work.
They have to go through a series of complicated processes including cleaning, beating, filtering, sedimentation, drying and crushing the kudzu vines.
Each process takes a lot of time and energy, but Zheng Sisi enjoys it, as if it is a part of her life.
It is not an easy task to make white kudzu root powder from a gray tree root.
It needs to go through a long process of sedimentation and drying, which may take several days. But Zheng Sisi is not in a hurry, she knows that only in this way can the quality of Pueraria powder be guaranteed. Finally, when the last process is completed, Zheng Sisi's face shows a satisfied smile.
After the kudzu root powder came out, Zheng Sisi couldn't wait to demonstrate how to eat it in front of everyone. She first put the kudzu root powder into a copper basin, then added appropriate amount of water and sugar and stirred it evenly.
