Chapter 499 Boiling is a very particular thing (for subscription)

"As for the rainwater falling into the river you mentioned...that's a completely different concept."

"Water falls on the ground, and the plants, the soil, and the sunlight itself will remove most of the bacteria in the rainwater."

"And the water we drink now is generally deep water, that is, groundwater. Some rainwater may have been absorbed by other plants before it penetrates into the groundwater."

"So, the types you just mentioned are not a theoretical matter in themselves. Rainwater is rainwater, mountain spring water is mountain spring water, dew is dew, and the rootless water you are talking about is not rain, but dew. "

Studio.

"Rootless water is dew? I always thought it was rain!"

"I thought it was rain too..."

"Damn, so I misunderstood! Isn't it a thing?"

"Anchor, is the saying that there is no root water to make tea in the past, is it true?"

"Yeah, it seems that there are similar methods in many books and TV dramas. Brewing tea with dew is said to be sweeter!"

Li Yuan: "Preparing tea with dew, in fact, many literati flocked to it in ancient times, and the cure of diseases with rootless water was also recorded in ancient books."

"Furthermore, using dew to decoct the medicines for nourishing the lungs and killing insects, or making powders for treating scabies and insects into external medicines can enhance the curative effect."

"It's just like I said, the evolution of the millennium has already made the current environment very different from before."

"So the dew will have many other changes, and it has long been not as clean and sweet as the dew in the past."

Li Yuan: "Actually, dew is not that rare. As long as there are many plants, there will be dew in all seasons."

"It's just that there are the most plants in autumn and the temperature difference is the largest, so the dew is also the most in autumn."

"However, dew can only form under the weather conditions when the atmosphere is relatively stable, the wind is small, the sky is clear and there are few clouds, and the heat on the ground loses quickly. If there are clouds in the sky at night, the ground is like a quilt. After the heat hits the clouds, part of it Returning to the earth, the other part is absorbed by the cloud layer, and this part of the heat absorbed by the cloud layer will slowly radiate to the ground later.”

"Although the dew is not drinkable now, it has always been good for crops."

"Dew, like rain, can moisten the soil and help plants grow, especially in hot summer, when the photosynthesis of crops during the day is strong, a large amount of water will be evaporated, and mild wilting will occur."

"At night, because of the supply of dew, the crops will be revived. And it is also beneficial for the crops in the farm to transform and transport the accumulated organic matter."

"Now in some unpolluted forests, if the dew settles for a period of time, you can still drink it, but it's just rain... It's better not to try it."

Studio.

"I don't know if it's harmful, but the rain now is indeed much dirtier than it was ten years ago."

"Yes, yes, it is indeed dirty!"

"No, sometimes you can still see obvious raindrops on the clothes!"

"It really is!"

"Yes, I remember reading the news a few years ago that the clothes were ruined by the rain!"

"Is it so scary?"

"Every time my scalp feels itchy after being poured by the rain, is this also the reason?"

"Aren't young people nowadays popular for walking in the rain?!"

"So...you really can't drink it!"

"Listen to the anchor, just don't drink, otherwise the bad stomach will definitely be light."

Because the decoction in the kettle evaporated too quickly, Li Yuan had already moved the kettle towards the temperature around the flame.

During the cooking process, Li Yuan kept stirring with a branch.

Studio.

"Without adding rainwater and without drinking water, this soup can be boiled for half an hour, can it work?"

"No, the effect of the medicine probably hasn't come out yet."

"That's right, anchor, why don't you think of other ways, don't you have to boil the soup for at least two or three hours?"

"It takes a long time for the traditional Chinese medicine to be effective. Otherwise, the anchor will see where to get some water!"

"It's raining so hard outside, forget it, we can deal with it."

"But it doesn't work! Time is short."

Li Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not as exaggerated as everyone said. Although half an hour is indeed shorter, it doesn't take three or four hours to cook, and it's best not to add water twice. "

Studio.

"Isn't it? Isn't the longer you boil the better?"

"Yeah, every time I go to prescribe traditional Chinese medicine, people say that it takes a long time to boil it!"

"Last time I went to prescribe traditional Chinese medicine. It seemed that people boiled it for an hour before it was cooked. It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

"It's a bit confusing. Is it better to boil long or short?"

"It must be long!"

Li Yuan: "Everyone may have no interest in brewing Chinese medicine. The so-called Chinese medicine will be boiled for a long time before all the effects of Chinese medicine will be boiled out. In fact, it is wrong."

"The cooking time of each type of traditional Chinese medicine is actually different, and different Chinese medicines have different requirements for the heat of cooking. It is not simply to put the traditional Chinese medicine in a pot and cook it all the time."

"Some traditional Chinese medicine may only need to be boiled for half an hour to stimulate all the medicinal properties in it, just like this kind of Beibupleurum, after boiling in a pot under cold water, in fact, it can be boiled for another hour. OK."

"If you continue to boil it at this time, it will affect the efficacy of the medicine. The time to drink the medicine will be delayed, but the effect will not be so good, and the gain will outweigh the loss."

"However, for some Chinese medicines, the longer the brewing time, the better, as short as four or five hours, and some even longer... and only in this way can the medicinal effects be fully brewed."

"So when you boil Chinese medicine, you must follow the doctor's advice. Boiling Chinese medicine is a delicate thing, but there are actually a lot of things to pay attention to."

Studio.

"I always thought that the longer the time, the better!"

"Me too! No wonder the Chinese medicine I drank before didn't work. It turned out that I didn't boil it right..."

"If I remember correctly, can an iron pot boil medicine?"

"Iron pot? Isn't the container used by the anchor an iron pot?"

"Hey, it's really true!"

Li Yuan looked at his kettle on the fire, nodded and said: "Everyone is right, iron pots are indeed not suitable for making traditional Chinese medicine. When making soup and medicine in iron pots, the iron element in the iron pots will directly affect us. medicinal effect."

"But don't worry everyone, my kettle is not made of iron, but made of aluminum."

In fact, although it is not an iron pot, the effect of boiling medicine in an aluminum pot also has a certain influence.
