Rebirth Era's Petite Wife

Chapter 736 733 Plantain Glutinous Rice

Children with cretinism and elderly people with big neck disease are all due to iodine deficiency. Iodine is an essential element for the human body. Seafood contains a lot of iodine, so residents living by the sea will not get big neck disease and Creepy.

Iodine-deficient people are basically people in remote mountainous areas. Some people may have never eaten seafood such as kelp and seaweed in their entire lives!
The best way to treat big neck disease and cretinism is to eat seaweed every day, which is the most affordable food, and the effect is very good.

"Sister Shui, let the villagers go to the city to buy dried seaweed, eat a little every day, and the symptoms will gradually improve. It's best for everyone to eat some. If you have a disease, you can cure it, and if you don't, it can be prevented." Shen Jiao said.

Miao Shuifeng nodded repeatedly, and translated Shen Jiao's words to the white-haired old man. The white-haired old man is the old village head of the village, and has a high prestige. As long as it is what he says, the villagers dare not disobey.

The white-haired old man worked outside when he was young, so he still had some knowledge. He believed in Shen Jiao's words, nodded and said, "I'll send my younger generation to the county to buy kelp."

The other villagers were all amazed, and several of them collapsed on the ground, crying, "If I knew kelp was useful, I would definitely get it for my cub to eat, and my cub wouldn't be a fool!"

This crying woman has a big neck, her neck is swollen like a big tumor, her son is 14 years old, but he is as thin as a child of six or seven years old, his IQ is not too high, at most With only the intelligence of a four or five-year-old child, cretinism is already very serious.

The other villagers, who more or less had big neck disease and cretinism, were also annoyed. Their ancestors have been here for generations, and they have become accustomed to the appearance of big neck disease and cretinism.

They don't even think it's a disease, they just think it's bad luck, but now someone tells them that these are just a disease, which can be prevented by eating kelp, everyone's heart is not feeling good!
As long as they can prevent big necks and cretinism, they will try their best to get even the most expensive things, not to mention that those kelp are not expensive at all, they are all cheap things, they can eat them no matter how poor they are Get up!

The villagers in the village have more or less ailments, but it's just a matter of severity. Even if Shen Jiao watched it for three days and three nights, she might not be able to finish it. In order to hurry up, she showed it to a dozen serious children. , Most of them were roundworms or cretinism, and a few were running a fever, and their foreheads were terribly hot.

"The child has such a severe fever, why isn't it sent to the hospital?"

Shen Jiao looked at the feeble children lying in her mother's arms, and felt very uncomfortable, and was quite dissatisfied with the parents of these children.

The child's temperature is so high, but it is very dangerous, ranging from convulsions to becoming a fool or dying. Why are these parents not worried at all?

Miao Shuifeng sighed: "In our village, we almost never go to the hospital when we get sick. We usually go to the mountains to pick some herbs and boil water to drink. past."

It was only then that Shen Jiao remembered the family affairs that Miao Shuifeng had mentioned before, and felt a little embarrassed, she was exposing scars!
The sadness on Miao Shuifeng's face flashed, and he said with a smile: "I believe it will get better and better in the future, maybe the government will come to our village to build a hospital, and then the villagers will no longer have to walk dozens of Go to see a doctor on Lishan Road!"

"There will be!"

Shen Jiao's tone was very sure, more confident than Miao Shuifeng.

At that time, if the government doesn't build a hospital, she will pay for it. Anyway, she is not short of money!
A few children had a severe fever, but fortunately they were all fine, as long as the fever subsided, they would recover.

After working for a long time, half of the medicine Shen Jiao brought had already gone, and she was terribly tired, her back was sore and her legs ached.

The sun was high, and it was almost noon, but there was no further delay. Miao Shuifeng explained the situation to the white-haired old man. The villagers were very reasonable, and they all dispersed after a while.

The white-haired old man stared at Yuanyuan Zhuangzhuang in Han Qixiu's arms for a long time, smiled slightly, and said a few words to Han Qixiu. up.

The old man looked at Lu Zijian again. He actually spoke Mandarin. Although it was very blunt, it was still much better than the local dialect.

"If you want to get it, you must pay first, young man!"

The white-haired old man said this inexplicably, and walked away tremblingly with the support of the two young men.

Lu Zijian's expression changed slightly, and his mind turned a thousand times, as if he had figured out something, and his face was thoughtful.

Father Miao wanted Shen Jiao and the others to go up the mountain after lunch, but Han Qixiu refused and asked Miao Shuifeng's mother to prepare some corn pancakes. Father Miao was very embarrassed and said something to Miao Yinfeng, Miao Yinfeng After hesitating for a few seconds, Father Miao scolded with a downcast face, and Miao Yinfeng trotted to the granary.

Not long after, Miao Yinfeng came out with a big bamboo tube, unplugged the plug, and poured out the contents. It turned out to be excellent-quality glutinous rice, with slender, white and crystal-clear grains.

Han Qixiu took a few steps forward to stop Miao Yinfeng from scooping water into the basin, and started arguing with Mr. Miao. Mr. Miao shook his head and waved his hands from time to time, and was a little upset. Han Qixiu had no choice but to bend slightly at him, Father Miao smiled happily.

Miao Yinfeng quickly cleaned the rice, spread the rice on the grate covered with banana leaves, covered it, and steamed it on high heat for more than ten minutes, and handfuls of crystal clear glutinous rice came out of the pot, exuding the smell of glutinous rice. Alluring fragrance.

A bamboo tube of glutinous rice weighs about three or four catties. Miao Yinfeng steamed it twice. At this moment, Mama Miao's corn cakes are also ready, and she also fried some pickles. Shen Jiao noticed that Mama Miao put more oil on purpose. There is not much oil in the oil pot, and it is almost bottomed out.

Shen Jiao felt uncomfortable at all, she whispered to Han Qixiu, "Let's hunt some wild animals and bring them back when we go down the mountain."

When going up the mountain, there are countless things. She can't just take out oil and meat out of thin air, so she can only hunt wild animals. There are still wild boars in the treasure bowl!
Han Qixiu patted Shen Jiao's hand to reassure her.

Mr. Miao picked a few green banana leaves from the door of the house. Every household in the village has planted banana leaves. This kind of plant grows very fast and does not require much care. The leaves can be used to pack food, and the stems and leaves are cooked It can be fed to pigs, and the tender plantain heart can also be eaten in cooking. It is a very convenient plant.

Miao Shuifeng wrapped the cooled glutinous rice into banana leaves, folded it into a green bag, wrapped the seal with a weed stick, and made a simple plantain glutinous rice ball.

"Let's go, if you walk faster, you can come back for dinner." Miao Shuifeng smiled.

Han Qixiu and the others bid farewell to the Miao family, and the group went up to the mountain behind the Miao family. Miao Shuifeng said that the great wizard was on the top of the mountain behind their house, and it would take two or three hours to climb there.

　The second is the steamed glutinous rice with banana leaves, which has been eaten for a long time. If you add some bacon and spicy peppers, tsk tsk, the old sheep will drool!

　　In addition, big neck disease seems to be relatively rare now. When I went to remote mountain villages when I was a child, I often saw some old people with big necks on their heads. Kind of sick.
