Professor Hong Zhaoguang recommended longan many times in health books. He said that longan is a traditional food for strengthening the spleen and increasing wisdom, and it is rich in nutrients such as vitamins A and B. It has the effects of nourishing blood, tranquilizing mind, strengthening brain, improving intelligence, nourishing heart and strengthening spleen, and is very beneficial to hard-working people.
In A Dream of Red Mansions, the food Jia used to nourish his heart and soothe his nerves was longan. Baoyu drinks longan soup in two places in the book. In one place, Baoyu dreamed that he fell into a maze in a dreamland. When he woke up, everyone quickly served longan soup and took two sips. The other is that Baoyu fainted after throwing jade. After waking up, Mrs. Wang asked someone to bring longan soup, let him drink a few mouthfuls and gradually calmed down. It is not difficult to see from Baoyu's drinking longan soup that Cao Xueqin knows the sedative effect of longan soup.
Girls can use a few red dates and longan, add ginger slices or medlar, but not too much. Give yourself a cup after work every day, which has the effects of nourishing stomach, enriching blood and invigorating qi.
It should be noted that longan is a kind of warm fruit. Eating too much is easy to "fire the upper body", leading to acne on the face and affecting menstruation. Five pills a day is enough.
Yuling Ointment comes from Wang Shixiong's "Taste and Diet Spectrum" in Qing Dynasty: Yuling Ointment replaces Ginseng Ointment. Put the peeled longan meat into a bamboo tube or porcelain bowl. Put one or two pieces of meat in white sugar (later changed to 1: 1), and then put American ginseng (later put it in sugar). The bowl mask is made of silk floss and steamed on the rice cooker every day.
Yuling ointment can replace ginseng to nourish the body. Liu Yuxi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, praised it as "the top-grade functional manna flavor, and I know that a spoonful can prolong life". Now you don't need to steam it on a dry rice cooker every day to make Yuling ointment. You can steam it at about 1.
Longan can be stored for a long time, the skin does not change color, the fruit does not change taste, the pulp is still firm and juicy, sweet and delicate, and the taste is flexible. The taste is so pure and sweet that there is always a smell like the wind and dew of wild grass in the mountains.
