Farmers call it a thousand-year-old rat shit that used to be a life-saving food for the poor. Now 400% of a jin is rare.

No matter in the countryside or in the city, there is a saying that "a piece of rat shit spoils a pot of porridge", which means that because of one person's problem, the whole group is affected. it can be said that rat shit is a nuisance to both farmers and city dwellers.

However, in the countryside, there is such a magical weed whose roots are called "thousand-year-old rat shit" by farmers' friends. This is not ordinary rat shit, but millennium mouse shit, which is supposed to be hated by peasant friends, but in fact, on the contrary, peasant friends not only do not hate this "millennium mouse shit", but also love it very much. Why?

After the arrival of spring every year, all kinds of weeds begin to grow in the countryside, and such a small weed grows in the countryside. Its leaves are three or four pieces, which looks like a four-leaf clover. The back of its leaves is purple, and this weed is called "sunflower". Solanum nigrum is distributed in the rural fields of Sichuan, Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, northern Guangxi, Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places in China, and its main growth position is under the forest, by the side of the road or in the shady places of the valley.

When it comes to sunflower, we have to mention its strange root, which is called "millennium mouse shit" by farmers' friends, also known as "sunflower seed". It is believed that many old peasant friends should remember this thing more deeply. In the past, during famine, many poor and poor people often could not afford to eat, so they had to go to the countryside to dig wild vegetables to eat, and sunflower seed is one of them.

The author remembers that when I was a child, the family conditions were not good, and I didn't have enough to eat, so I often went to the wild with my parents to dig some wild vegetables to eat. At that time, when the sunflower was ripe in April and May, I went to the wild to dig some sunflower seeds to eat raw. They also dug up thatch roots and other weeds to eat. It can be said that sunflower seeds used to be life-saving food for many poor people.

And sunflower seed is not only edible, but also has a very high medicinal value. According to the record of "Yizong Jinjian", sunflower seed can be used as medicine, with the effects of heat-clearing and detoxification, detumescence and pain, diuresis and so on. It can be used to treat carbuncle swelling, sores, sores, turbid, dyspnea, lung deficiency cough, hernia, epilepsy, infantile convulsions, hemorrhoids, injuries caused by falls, poisonous snakebites and so on. In addition to its root sunflower seeds can be eaten and used as medicine, its whole grass can also be used as soil pesticides to kill pests, so farmers love this kind of weed very much.

It is precisely because sunflower seed has so many functions that the price of sunflower seed has risen now. It is understood that sunflower seeds have been sold for 40 yuan per jin, which has become a kind of rare goods, so there are many farmers who grow sunflower seeds to get rich.

The author reminds: sunflower seed is actually a little poisonous. In the past, because the family conditions were not delicious, many poor people had no choice but to eat sunflower seed, but now the living conditions are good and they can afford to eat, so the author does not recommend that everyone eat sunflower seed at will to avoid problems. In addition, if you need medicine, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor to avoid problems.
