Chapter 54: Specialties of Mingjiu Township

In the end, Ye Fan and Mu Qingyu were directly "boomed" by Zheng Shulan.
"Brother Fan, thank you so much. My mother is like this. If you have something, you... just leave first. I'll go back and tell my mother." Mu Qingyu said suddenly.
She was really a considerate girl, Ye Fan said in his heart.
But Ye Fan hesitated for a while and said, "It's okay, there's nothing wrong with me. You can wait for me, I'll make a call."
With that, she walked to the side, took out her cell phone, and called Su Yurou.
"Hey, Yurou, I have something wrong here. It may be a bit later to go back."
"Well, it's okay, pay attention to safety when driving at night." On the other side of the phone, Su Yurou asked softly.
Ye Fan felt warm, and said, "Yurou, in fact, it's like this..."
After that, Ye Fan told Su Yurou about what happened here, without concealing it.
Su Yurou couldn't help being surprised when she heard that Ye Fan could even delay her cancer.
"Ye Fan, in this case, I think you may not be able to come back at night." Su Yurou said suddenly.
"No, no, no, I will go back many nights." Ye Fan said quickly. He was really worried that Su Yurou was at home alone, and he was not sure what else would happen.
"It's okay, there are a lot of things in the company today. I may have to be busy until late, but if you have Sixue with me, don't worry, I will let Sixue live with me in the evening." Su Yurou said.
"but..."
"Well, don't be it, I have something to deal with, so I won't talk to you anymore, bye."
"OK Bye Bye."
After the call, Ye Fan felt very warm in his heart. The more he came into contact with Su Yurou, the more he found that the girl was really good enough to have no flaws.
"Let's go, go out, just ask for a leave, hehe." Ye Fan returned and said to Mu Qingyu grinning.
"Sorry, Brother Fan, I..."
"All said, don't be so polite, what are you doing."
The two of them walked aimlessly while chatting.
It didn't take long for the two to arrive near Shitou Mountain in Mingjiu Township.
Looking at the stone mountain in front of him, Mu Qingyu suddenly sighed, and said, "Actually, the people here are quite poor. They have nothing. There are only these stones. In fact, when I was admitted to college, I wanted to come back and build my hometown. , It’s just that I later discovered that with my own ability, it’s too difficult to do this."
Ye Fan looked at the surrounding environment, nodded, and said, "The geographical environment here is really bad, and it is difficult to develop."
Mu Qingyu looked at the stone mountain in front of him, and said softly: "I remember when I was a child, I often followed a group of children to climb the mountain. They climbed fast, and I climbed slowly. They always climbed from the top of the mountain when they climbed halfway. I came back. I was not convinced, and then I secretly came over to exercise my speed, but when my speed was finally about the same as theirs, they had all gone out to work and earn money."
While recalling what happened here, Mu Qingyu took Ye Fan to the mountain.
The stone mountain here is not high, but it is very steep. Unless it is a professional mountaineer, it is really not easy for ordinary people to climb to the top.
However, with Ye Fan's strength, let alone climbing such a rocky mountain, just "jumping" directly on it would not seem too difficult.
After a while, the two climbed to the top of a relatively short stone mountain.
Mu Qingyu walked to a large rock, bent down and picked off a plant leaf that had emerged from the crack in the rock, then chewed it twice in his mouth, and then vomited it out.
"It's the same as when I was a child, it's still so bitter..." Mu Qingyu took a leaf and handed it to Ye Fan, jokingly: "Brother Fan, try it. This is the only specialty in my hometown."
Ye Fan picked up the leaves curiously, and habitually smelled it, the smell was strange.
He tore off a small piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it lightly, and suddenly there was a bitter taste like an overwhelming river, causing Ye Fan to frown.
Seeing Ye Fan frowning, Mu Qingyu sneered: "Brother Fan, is it very bitter? I don't know how there is such a bitter thing in the world."
Ye Fan just wanted to echo a few words, suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind.
As the system brought Ye Fan not only all Huaxia's medical skills, it also gave Ye Fan a deep understanding and insights on Chinese herbal medicine and the like.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, and quickly searched for a description of it in his mind.
The curiosity in Ye Fan's eyes is also getting more and more, because he just learned that that kind of thing should have disappeared hundreds of years, even thousands of years ago.
Ye Fan walked quickly to the big rock, bent down, and carefully looked at the plants less than two feet tall in front of him.
This kind of plant is said to be grass or not, and it is said that it is a tree or not a tree. The branches and leaves are luxuriant, and the black leaves are clustered together, densely packed, with almost no branches.
The local people in Jiuxiang in Ming Dynasty call it bitter grass, and even the things that domestic animals don't eat, Ye Fan's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
Mu Qingyu noticed Ye Fan's abnormality, walked to Ye Fan's side, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Fan, are you?"
Ye Fan didn't answer, he carefully peeled off the branches and leaves, broke one of them, and picked it up to observe the roots.
I saw the dark green liquid dripping continuously from the broken roots. With this short length of less than three inches, so much liquid can flow out. This "yield" is really not low.
Dip a little branch with your finger and put it in your mouth.
Seeing Ye Fan's movements, Mu Qingyu exclaimed: "Brother Fan, the liquid on the branches of this thing is more bitter!"
Of course, there is no need for Mu Qingyu to say, Ye Fan already knew.
The green liquid flowing out of the branches and leaves has a bitter taste several times stronger than that of the leaves. Even a little bit makes Ye Fan want to spit it out on the spot.
But Ye Fan's eyes were brighter at the moment. He suddenly took off a lot of leaves, stood up and said excitedly to Mu Qingyu: "Go, go home."
"Ah? Brother Fan, what are you doing?" There were a hundred question marks in Mu Qingyu's heart at this time. Although she could see that Ye Fan seemed to have discovered something unusual, she couldn't understand it. What's so pleasant about the grass?
Ye Fan was basically certain now that the so-called bitter grass in front of him was the kind of thing that had disappeared thousands of years ago, but in order to be 100% sure, Ye Fan still needs to use special methods to verify it.
Seeing Mu Qingyu so curious, Ye Fan smiled as he walked: "If this thing is really the same as the thing I imagined, then you Mingjiu Township really have unique specialties that belong to your hometown!"
Mu Qingyu was slightly taken aback, specialty? Just this bitter grass?
Originally wanted to ask Ye Fan to ask clearly, but seeing Ye Fan's anxious look, she only had to resist the doubts in her heart and walk back with Ye Fan.
After arriving home, Ye Fan went straight into the kitchen before Zheng Shulan came back.
Although Mu Qingyu was curious, she knew she couldn't help much now, so she sat down and waited for Ye Fan to come out.
What the is it? Why is Brother Fan so excited? Does this bitter weed really have any effect we don't know?
Slowly, Mu Qingyu actually smelled a very refreshing fragrance coming from the kitchen. What is this smell?
Just as Mu Qingyu was thinking about it, Ye Fan came out of the kitchen.
"Come with me." Ye Fan greeted Mu Qingyu.
The two walked into the kitchen one after another.
As soon as she walked in, Mu Qingyu felt that the scent she had just smelled became stronger, and the entire kitchen was filled with this delicate fragrance.
Ye Fan first opened the lid of the pot, and Mu Qingyu immediately saw that there were black to shiny leaves in the pot.
There are bursts of fragrant scent, and a refreshing smell will make you refreshing.
Looking at the piles of black leaves in the pot, Mu Qingyu couldn't help but ask: "Brother Fan, aren't these the bitter weeds you just picked up?"
With that, Mu Qingyu walked over and picked up a piece from the pot, the more it looked strange.
There is no difference between the previous bitter grass and ordinary leaves, but now it looks like black jade. The lines on the leaves are fresh and visible. You can smell a strong fragrance without getting close to the nose.
At this time, Ye Fan brought a bowl, then took out a black leaf from the pot and put it in the bowl, and then poured some hot water.
After shaking gently a few times, Ye Fan handed the bowl to Mu Qingyu, smiled and said, "Try it again this time.
