This weed claimed that black mines were once fed to pig roots, but it was a good medicine worth 8 yuan per jin.

After the arrival of spring every year, all kinds of weeds in the countryside begin to grow one after another, whether in front of houses, roadsides, farmland, mountain forest areas, etc., can be seen everywhere, for these weeds, except those growing near farmland, most of them are loved by farmers. I believe that friends living in the countryside should know that many of these weeds are edible wild vegetables. There are even herbs that can cure diseases, so Xu many peasant friends will, in their spare time, go back to the mountains to dig up these weeds and sell them to earn some pocket money.

In the rural areas in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now, especially near the mountain areas, the living conditions are even worse, but for the farmers in the mountain areas, they depend on the mountains, so they often go to the mountains to dig up some weeds or cut down some trees for use. Some are not only for people to eat, but also for their families to feed. Under the woods in the mountains, there is such a weed, which grows very vigorously, often growing in patches, and its leaves are shaped like celery and are about the same height, so in the past, they were often dug up by farmers to feed pig grass to pigs.

This kind of weed is "goose palm grass", also known as "tree-shaded anemone". However, in my hometown, farmers near the mountain prefer to call it "black landmine". The reason why it is so called has something to do with its roots. I don't know if friends of the post-80s and post-90s went to the mountains in the 1990s to dig this kind of weed. If they did, they would know that its roots are black. Therefore, it is called "Black Mine" or "Diwu".

The author remembers that when I was a child, around June or July, I often went to the mountains with my parents to dig this weed. Its leaves were fed to pigs, while its roots were left behind to make wine.

Do not think that the name "black landmine" is very vulgar. In fact, for farmers in mountain areas, this thing is a treasure, because it is a good cure. In the past, medical conditions in rural areas were not as good as they are now. Most farmers in mountain areas use these weeds to treat diseases, and "black mines" is one of them.

According to the records of "Chinese Materia Medica", the root of goose palm grass (black mine) can be used as medicine, its taste is pungent, warm and non-toxic, and it has the effect of dispelling rheumatism and promoting muscles and bones. it is often used to treat rheumatism pain, fall injury and other symptoms.

In the mountain areas in the past, old peasant friends who knew about goose palm grass often went to the mountains to dig its roots to soak up wine. Nowadays, with the improvement of living standards in rural areas, in addition to some old peasant friends, many people do not know this kind of weed, and will not use this kind of weed root, which makes it gradually ignored.

However, the author saw an old farmer selling "black mines" in the village a few days ago, and the price was also 8 yuan per jin, but basically no one bought it, which is a pity.

Dear friends, did you dig "goose palm grass" when you were young? Welcome to leave a message and exchange!
