The big guy starts with raising pigs

Chapter 303 The Centennial Tea Tree

"Ah! Grandma, are you making zongzi?"

In the afternoon, Xiao Duoduo cried out in surprise when he came home from school. The little guy likes zongzi.

"Hehe, that's right, look at how grandma put ribs and chestnuts!" Seeing the little grandson so happy, Wang Guilan was also very happy.

"Fatty, Niuniu likes meaty too!" said the little Niuniu who was being hugged by her mother with a smile on her face.

"Haha, what a greedy cat!" Seeing the little girl's gluttonous appearance, Wang Guilan scratched her little Qiong's nose.

The little girl has been losing weight recently, and the results are not small.

Her chubby lotus root hands have gradually disappeared, and her weight has dropped from more than 40 jin before to the current 30 jin.

Although Xiao Niuniu looks a little fat, it is normal for a child over one year old to be a little fat.

"Little brother, help me watch Niuniu, mom and I will make zongzi for a while!"

"Okay sister!"

So Zhang Hai turned into the King of Kids, and played games with Xiao Niuniu and Xiao Duoduo in the yard. Coupled with the crazy people coming, Xiao Huihui, the yard was full of excitement for a while.

…………

"The second uncle went up the mountain to look for wormwood?"

The next day Zhang Hai was about to go out for a stroll, when he happened to meet the second uncle coming from the back mountain with a handful of wormwood.

"Hey! Isn't it the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow?" Uncle Dashan raised the mugwort in his hand and said with a smile.

"Yeah, time flies so fast, second uncle, where did you pick this mugwort? I'll pick some later." Zhang Hai asked with a smile.

"It's over there in the wild boar forest. You can find it if you look for it."

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming. According to the local customs, every household should hang wormwood and calamus on the gate. It is said that this way will keep you healthy and healthy throughout the year.

Hanging mugwort not only has the meaning of praying for peace and auspiciousness, but also can drive away ghosts and evil spirits in legend.

After the second uncle left, Zhang Hai called A Ming and A Feng and went into the mountain.

A Ming is a curious baby, he talks the most every day, and asked Zhang Hai after walking a few steps:

"Brother, you said Dragon Boat Festival, why are you hanging wormwood and calamus?"

"Hanging mugwort can not only pray for peace, but it is also said that it can drive away ghosts and evil spirits."

"In addition to hanging wormwood and calamus at the door during the Dragon Boat Festival, pomegranates, garlic, etc. will be hung in some places."

Hanging wormwood and cattail grass at the door during the Dragon Boat Festival is like pasting a magic talisman, which can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.Wormwood represents Zhaobaifu, and it is a medicinal herb that can cure diseases. Inserting it at the door can make the body healthy.

"Hanging a herb can have so many effects?" Amin shook his head, but he didn't believe it at all.

"Aren't all traditional customs like this?" Zhang Hai gave him a blank look.

"By the way, brother, don't you still drink realgar wine in "The Legend of the White Snake?" Ah Feng also interjected.

Drinking realgar wine on the Dragon Boat Festival has existed since ancient times.
It is said that in ancient times, five was an unlucky number. May was regarded as a poisonous month, and the fifth day was an evil day. On May [-]th every year, five poisons appeared and plagues occurred frequently. Realgar has the effect of detoxification. In order to prevent epidemics, the ancients Realgar wine is drunk every Dragon Boat Festival, and it is said that after drinking realgar wine on Dragon Boat Festival, poisonous insects dare not come close for a whole year.

The main components of realgar wine are realgar and rice wine. The main component of realgar is arsenic sulfide, which is highly toxic and can be extracted to produce arsenic.

Therefore, realgar itself has a certain degree of toxicity, and improper drinking can easily cause physical harm. Therefore, drinking realgar wine is not recommended by everyone now.

"Huh? Realgar wine is poisonous?" Amin was shocked, and he only knew about it now.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can buy some and drink it at home." Zhang Hai smiled.

"Forget it then, I haven't lived enough yet!" Amin shook his head hastily.

The brothers walked and walked, and they arrived at the top of Houshan Mountain in a short while.

Seeing the plants and trees here, everyone feels very kind, because everyone often came here to herd cattle when they were young.

Every time we put the cows on the mountain and let them graze on their own, the friends would play house, hide-and-seek and other games together, which is very interesting to think about.

All of this seems to have happened yesterday, but unfortunately the trees on the mountain are still there, but people are different. The former friends have grown into adults.

"I remember that when we were young, we liked to hide and seek here!"

"Haha, I remember that big cow once hid on that cypress tree and couldn't get down!"

"That's right, in the end it was his father who climbed up and pulled him down himself!"

I remember that Daniel was also beaten badly, his buttocks were black and blue, and he slept on his stomach at night.

"We were all miserable that time, and we were beaten up when we got home!"

"Haha, who made us so naughty when we were young!"

Although everyone was beaten, everyone still thought it was very interesting to think of the experience of being beaten when they were young.

……

Soon, everyone found a piece of mugwort among the weeds.

It is a common custom in the south to hang mugwort at the door of the house during the Dragon Boat Festival. You only need to hang one or two of them symbolically. It is said that this can drive away insects and evil spirits and protect the safety of the family.

"There are quite a lot of mugwort here, why don't we pull out more and sell them?" Amin cheerfully suggested.

"If you are diligent, pull it out and sell it!" Both Zhang Hai and Ah Feng gave him blank looks, and they were not interested in this matter.

Because how much this wormwood is worth, a single one is only one or two yuan, and even if all the nearby wormwood is pulled out, it can only be sold for two or three hundred yuan at most.

"Oh! Let's forget it!" Seeing that neither of them was interested, Amin shook his head.

Then the three circled around the top of the mountain again, and Zhang Hai suddenly found an old tea tree here.

"Brother, why have you been staring at this tree?" Amin asked curiously.

"It seems to be a tea tree!" Zhang Hai was a little unsure, because Zhangjiawan did not produce tea locally.

"Tea tree?" Amin and Afeng looked at each other in surprise.

"Well, and it's an old tea tree!"

"Look, isn't it very similar to the tea tree on the Internet?"

Zhang Hai immediately searched the Internet for proof, posted a few pictures, and finally found evidence.

Afeng and Amin turned their heads to look, and found that the tree in front of them was really a tea tree. Unexpectedly, everyone played here for so many years when they were young, but they didn't find a tea tree here.

"Let me go, isn't this tea tree also hundreds of years old?"

Seeing that the tea tree on the Internet was a hundred-year-old tea tree, A Ming compared it with the one in front of him, and felt that the two trees were similar in growth, so he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Well, it should be similar, but it takes professionals to identify it!"

Zhang Hai nodded, thinking that he could report to his uncle later to see if experts would be sent over for identification!
"Tsk tsk! Do you think a hundred-year-old tea tree is very valuable?" Amin walked around the old tea tree, and then his eyes glowed with gold.
