The most important thing in the countryside is wild plants, especially weeds. Friends living in the countryside know that the common weeds on the road are mainly: dandelions, purslane, cabbage, etc., the author will not give examples. There are indeed many weeds in the countryside, but many people do not know what they do, either cut the weeds to feed the pigs, or simply remove them. I don't know that its value is precious, and it is a pity to cut it. Today I will share with you a kind of weed, it is "duck plant"
In the past, every household in the countryside raised pigs, and rural children helped their families cut grass and feed pigs after school, and duck plantage was a good choice, on the one hand, because duck plantage grass was everywhere, on the other hand, because pigs liked to eat duck planthopper, so everyone liked to feed pigs with duck plant. In the eyes of most people, duck plant seems to have no other role except to feed pigs, and they do not know that its value is precious, and it is a pity to feed pigs.
Duck plant is an herb that looks very much like bamboo in appearance, so some people call it light bamboo and green bamboo. Unlike bamboo, duck plants are short, usually only about 60 centimeters. Duck plants prefer to be wet and grow mainly in mountain forests, streams, rivers and paddy fields. Duck plant is tenacious, and even in the cold winters, it grows.
According to the "Chinese Materia Medica", the whole herb of duck plant can be used as a medicine, which has the effect of reducing swelling and diuresis, clearing heat and detoxification. Can be used for: edema, athlete's foot, cold, unfavorable urination, mumps, etc. I didn't expect that the usually seemingly inconspicuous duck plant had so many effects. Although the value of duck plant is precious, the author does not recommend that you use it blindly. Friends, do you have duckweed in your hometown? #你们的农村老家使用最多的下酒菜是哪些呢 #
