Chapter 576: Houttuynia cordata

The green bird tribe is not short of such things as bark.
Reclamation of wasteland is always going on in the tribe, and there are many trees that have been felled.
Some of these trees, which are more suitable, were left behind and used as building materials. Those that could not be used were burned into carbon.
With the refining of copper, the demand for carbon in the tribe has suddenly increased.
The used carbon is used to fertilize the fields.
The remaining fine branches, branches and leaves are collected for firewood, which can be said to be fully utilized.
However, these trees will still be stripped of their clothes before they are used in various ways. The initiator is Han Cheng.
The people in the tribe have always been extremely active in doing what the son of God ordered. It is the characteristics of most of them not to ask why, but only how to do it.
"Wow!"
A bundle of bark was by tree vines and thrown into the pit of the tribe, causing a splash of water.
"Wow, wow..."
There was a continuous sound, and several bundles of bark were thrown into the pit.
Han Cheng still knows the first step in papermaking. Just like the squis before, it needs to pass through the microorganisms in the water to get rid of some things on the bark, leaving only the fibers.
This step is also a major source of wastewater from the paper mill.
But things like wastewater are not a big problem for the Qingque tribe, because as the land continues to be cultivated, the tribe’s fertilizer can no longer keep up.
Under such circumstances, Hancheng would not have too much waste water from the retting bark.
Retting the bark is a time-consuming task, so after throwing the bark into the puddle, Han Cheng has free time to do other things.
At this time, what he was thinking about was the person in the picture and what the rectangular thing he was carrying to dry.
From the picture, it should be a key tool for making paper.
After thinking for a long time, Han Cheng didn't think of a reason, and he left the tribe and wandered to the west.
When you don't think clearly about some things, you can change your mood and refresh your mind.
For Han Cheng, the best way to sober is to walk on the ground, pull some grass, and fertilize the crops or vegetables. Such things always calm his mood.
This may be related to his racial talent for growing vegetables.
The millet was verdant, and the ears were about to spit at this time. The beans of more than two acres were as high as a calf. Han Cheng looked through it and found no bean bugs that look ugly under the bean leaves, but they could sell one. Very expensive bugs.
Nowadays, what attracts Han Cheng's attention the most is no longer the bean field and the millet field, but the patchy land next to the vegetable field.
Because of this land, from time to time will give you some surprises.
Han Cheng squatted down and pinched the rhizome of a low plant from this piece of land.
This plant suddenly looks like sweet potato leaves, but when you look closely, you will find that it is very different from sweet potato leaves.
Put it on your nose and smell it, and a fishy smell will come out.
Yes, this plant is Houttuynia cordata, and it is also one of the surprises Han Cheng found in this mess of vegetation.
Even though Houttuynia does not smell very good, it is actually a rare ingredient.
When spring first comes, houttuynia cordata, which has been dormant for a winter, will emerge from the ground, tender and red.
At this time, the houttuynia cordata sprouts, pinch some, and let them go in boiling water for a while. After the coolness, they are really rare and delicious.
Houttuynia cordata is not only delicious, it is also a very good medicinal material. Han Cheng does not know the other effects, but he remembers one of them very clearly, which is to treat coughs.
When I was young, there was a piece of Houttuynia cordata by the side of the vegetable garden at home. When I cough, I pinch a handful and put it in a pot after panning, boil two bowls of water, and drink it.
In fact, compared to Houttuynia, Han Cheng would prefer this thing to be sweet potatoes.
After all, sweet potatoes are a very high-yielding crop, and the requirements for the land are not very high.
It’s also convenient to eat. It can be eaten out of the soil, washed and eaten, and it can be boiled or steamed in water, which is very convenient.
Unlike beans, millet, rice, wheat, etc., many complicated and tiring procedures are required from harvesting to eating.
After being cut and dried into dried sweet potatoes, they can be stored for longer.
But such a good thing, Han Cheng can only think about it in his heart. After all, the sweet potato is not grown locally. To get this kind of crop, you need to take a boat across the ocean and drill into the tropical rain forest.
Recalling the appearance of his tribal canoe, Han Cheng felt that it was better for him to die.
It is not impossible to get sweet potatoes.
Han Cheng suddenly remembered one thing, that is, he has not been able to determine the specific location of his tribe until now. If his journey this time is not the earth but another world, it is not impossible to get sweet potatoes.
After thinking about it for a while, the figure of the national treasure that he had seen in the bamboo forest near Luhe appeared in Han Cheng's mind, breaking his random thoughts.
With this kind of guy, the possibility that the place where he is now is on another continent is not too great.
Han Cheng looked away from the houttuynia cordata, stood up and went to another place. He stopped if he didn't go too far, and there was another kind of surprise he had discovered.
This surprise is radish!
Fuchsia stems, green leaves, with some fine hairs growing on them, it feels a little prickly, this thing looks very similar to later generations of radish leaves.
By now, Han Cheng has been able to confirm that this kind of thing is actually a radish, because not long ago, he had pulled one up and took a bite of the root stalk the size of the little finger below.
It is the familiar radish flavor, but the taste is far less than that of later generations of radish. It has less juice, less meat, and is not very crispy. It has a lot of ‘strings’ inside, and it is a bit stuffy.
Moreover, the leaves of these radishes now look extremely vigorous, but the radishes below do not grow large.
However, the thickness of the finger makes the stiletto want to bloom.
Han Cheng wants to get the kind of carrots for later generations~EbookFREE.me~, undoubtedly, it needs careful cultivation year after year.
But anyway, this is a good thing.
People's emotions are easily affected by foreign objects. Compared to Han Cheng, the whole person who was made of paper is dizzy. Now that he is stimulated by houttuynia cordata and radish, he will soon get better.
Then he started thinking about papermaking again...
Five days later, Han Cheng pulled out a bundle of bark from the pit.
The bark is not very good, but he still insists on getting it out. After all, he doesn't know much about paper making and needs to fumble.
To what extent the bark of papermaking needs to be refined is the best, these need to be tested again and again.
