When I was a child, my family was in the countryside, and I often lacked clothes and food. In addition, children are naughty. When it rains in winter in Mao Mao, they often go to low-lying places on the roadside to play with water and get their clothes and shoes wet before going home. It is inevitable that they will catch a cold and cough, and they will have asthma and cough with phlegm. I often cough in the middle of the night, which makes my parents fidget. In the past, I wouldn't go to the hospital for examination and medicine unless I was seriously ill. The adults at home were really worried, so they went to the village health clinic to buy some cough medicine.
The author's grandfather has no education, but he has many remedies for cough. So, every winter when the weather is dry and cold, I will go to the village to reserve a pig lung, wash it until it turns white, cut it into pieces and blanch it with ginger wine, add salt, ginger, garlic, star anise, pepper and other star materials and fry it for later use. Then, in another big iron pot, add radish, fried pig lung, add spices such as Siraitia grosvenorii and dried tangerine peel, boil it over high fire and cook it for 2 hours on medium fire. Strangely, I can eat My Sweetie's pig lung soup every hour. This meat smells like vanilla, which is very fragrant.
When I was a child, I didn't understand. I thought that having sweet things and meat was a happy life, and I didn't care about coughing at all. Compared with the cough of children in the city now, six adults in the family are crowded into the hospital, which is simply the difference between clouds and mud. I don't know if I got better after eating meat, or because I put herbs in the pig lung soup, I felt my cough got better and I could sleep well at night. When I was a child, I asked my grandfather why he didn't cough after eating pig lung soup. Grandpa said it was because there were fairy fruits in it. Not fairy fruit. I won't cough after eating.
Grow up slowly, carefully consider grandpa's words, consult ancient books, and then know what Luo Han Guo is called. Fairy fruit? That makes sense. This? There are more than ten functions of fairy fruit. Relieving cough and asthma, sore throat, relaxing bowels, acute and chronic bronchitis, upper respiratory tract infection, nourishing yin and moistening lung, inhibiting melanin, relieving sore throat, improving immune function, protecting liver, preventing colds, slowing down skin aging, removing garbage deposited in the body and so on. A small Siraitia grosvenorii has many functions. Who said it wasn't fairy fruit?
What's more, this? Fairy fruit? Not picky about where they grow. It is planted in Guangxi, Guangdong and Hunan in southern China. Yongfu County and Longsheng County in Guilin City, Guangxi Province are the hometown of Siraitia grosvenorii with a long planting history. Now Siraitia grosvenorii is one of the precious specialties in Guilin. Many tourists visiting Guilin, or friends visiting relatives and friends, will send a box of Siraitia grosvenorii to relatives and friends, which is economical, healthy and dignified.
Siraitia grosvenorii can be made into tea with chrysanthemum, which is a necessary drink in summer. It can be seen that a small Siraitia grosvenorii can be recognized and trusted by the working people. In people's minds, it is like a fairy, and it only takes a few dollars to get rid of physical diseases. This is the crystallization that we working people have summed up from generation to generation, and we should pass it on.
The above is only the author's personal opinion, and comments are welcome.
