    "This water is really good, it's all mountain spring water, you can drink it!"

    "Wash your hands quickly, otherwise, I will be almost killed by this smell. Why does this smell of wormwood smell so strong!"

    ¡°Fat Master, I¡¯m about to get a rash all over my body, am I going to fucking die?¡±

    Hou Minghao said, also rolled up his sleeves, and sure enough, a red rash appeared on his body.

    The remaining Lin Guo and Li Laoba also had some symptoms, but they were not as serious as Hou Minghao. He Fan took a look and said:

    "Don't make such a fool of yourself, it's just an allergy. Why is your body of over 200 pounds more delicate than a little girl?"

    Children who grow up in the countryside love to go wild since they were young. They often encounter strange plants and touch them with their hands without hesitation. When they are children, their skin is delicate and they often develop allergic reactions like rashes. After a while,  Naturally it will be fine.

    This is the case for Hou Minghao. He is probably allergic to wormwood. It is normal for this kind of wild plant. Even washing with water can relieve it a lot.

    As for He Fan, he has been used to it since he was a child. Naturally, this situation is impossible.

    "Hey, it snowed a few days ago, and the plants are quite green. Unlike our northern cities, when it snows, there will be no hair left"

    Lin Guo was looking for water to wash his hands in the wetland, and was amazed.

    He is an old Beijinger, so naturally he is not used to seeing green plants everywhere in winter.

    His words attracted He Fan's attention to an aquatic plant.

    In this swamp wetland, there are many water onions and cattails growing, which are common wild aquatic plants.

    Many people have seen cattails, which look like big hot dogs. In fact, the upper part of the rhizome has brown spots on its flowers and leaves, but they are gathered together, like a big hot dog.

    Usually, people in the countryside would pick this stuff and use its leaves to weave cushions or something. The rhizomes can even be eaten.

    As for the "hot dog" part, those finely chopped flowers and leaves can be stuffed into the woven cushions, so they are all used.

    ??The water onion is a group of upright and thick rod-shaped aquatic things. Because it is green in appearance, shaped like a chive and grows in the water, it is called such a name!

    However, the head of the water onion is much larger than that of ordinary edible chives, and there are many flower branches on the top with small spiny nuts hanging on them.

    And this thing is not edible, but it is very effective in removing chemical pollution and heavy metal elements in waters.

    Therefore, some of these water onions will be planted in wetland parks in some big cities, or beside ornamental pools, which can not only improve the water environment, but also provide viewing.

    However, in the countryside, the roots are usually used to weave mats.

    Straw mats woven from onion rhizomes are tougher and more durable than bamboo mats and can be stored for a longer period of time without worrying about mold and moisture.

    But He Fan¡¯s attention did not linger on the two aquatic plants, cattails and water onions, but settled on an aquatic plant growing between them.

    This thing grows next to the onions, so it¡¯s really easy to get them confused. They have the same tall, green, upright rhizomes with fruits at the top, but there are still some differences.

    There is only one stem from the beginning to the end of the water onion, but the plant that He Fan is staring at divides into several branches and grows in clusters. It is somewhat similar to the rice growing in the field, and there are also fruits gestating in the rice ears at the top, but the fruits are  It is different from ordinary rice.

    The three idiot brothers, who had washed away the dust on their bodies and the smell of wormwood, stood up and saw He Fan staring into the water in the swamp, and asked curiously:

    "Brother, what are you looking at? Is there anything good in this place?"

    "What's so interesting about the weeds in the water?"

    ¡°That¡¯s right, seeing as these things grow so vigorously and don¡¯t even eat wild animals on the mountains, they must not be good things.¡±

    However, He Fan shook his head and walked to the waterside of the swamp, where the aquatic plants grew. He took a closer look at the rice ears on the top of the aquatic plant that he was looking at just now.  The fruit that grows within.

    With a slight twist of his hand, He Fan rolled out several slender cylindrical particles about 1.5 centimeters long and only about a millimeter in diameter.

    As soon as He Fan saw this thing, he felt confident and looked at the naive person next to him.The three brothers said:

    "You are really right, this is really good stuff!"

    Now the three idiot brothers suddenly became interested. They pointed at the black slender particles on He Fan¡¯s hand and said:

    "That's it? What is this? You can't even see it?"

    He Fan smiled mysteriously and said:

    "People in Europe and the United States call this caviar among cereals. Can you tell me if it is a good thing?"

    "What? Can this thing be compared to caviar?"

    ¡°Guigui, that¡¯s really a good thing, we can¡¯t let it go!¡±

    ¡°Then what are you waiting for? Let¡¯s pick them all and let our fat man taste the taste of this cereal caviar!¡±

    These three guys naturally know the taste of caviar. That thing is very old. When He Fan said that this thing was cereal caviar, the glutton in his stomach was immediately aroused.

    That's so much, so noisy to pick these plants like rice.

    He Fan thought for a while, and acquiesced to the suggestions of these guys. Then the three fools got into the water with great enthusiasm and directly uprooted these aquatic plants with long black particles.

    The rhizome of the aquatic plant that was uprooted by these three guys looked very white. Seeing the white rhizome, He Fan could basically determine what it was!

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that wild wild rice can grow in this place, what an unexpected surprise!¡±

    He Fan also muttered, these aquatic plants growing between cattails and water onions are called wild wild rice!

    Wild wild rice is basically unknown to anyone in modern times, but it was very famous in ancient times and was one of the traditional "six grains".

    Rice, millet, millet, beam, wheat, wild rice.

    Among them, the wild rice is the aquatic plants that the three idiot brothers are picking.

    The black slender grains that He Fan just rubbed out from the top of the rice ears are the fruits of wild wild rice, called wild rice!

    You must know that the traditional six grains are the six most important foods for the ancient Chinese people. This shows that wild rice once occupied a very important place on people's dining tables.

    Even during the Tang Dynasty, wild rice was still very popular!

    However, it gradually declined later!

    The yield of wild rice was very small, so it was gradually replaced by high-yielding grains such as rice and wheat, and gradually disappeared.

    Therefore, modern people have basically never heard of wild rice, a food crop.

    If He Fan hadn't seen the introduction of this thing in a documentary, otherwise, even He Fan wouldn't recognize it in front of this wild wild rice, and would just think it was wild weeds and fruits.

    However, although modern people are basically unfamiliar with wild wild rice, there is one thing that modern people are very familiar with.

    The wild rice sold in supermarkets and wet markets is inextricably linked to this wild wild rice!

    Because wild rice grows in the wild, it is affected by the environment and pollution, and is gradually infected with a fungus called [Wild Fungus].

    After being parasitized by this fungus, the wild wild rice will gradually become unable to produce rice ears due to the disease. Naturally, it will not be able to produce wild rice.

    But in the reincarnation of heaven, there are gains and losses. Although wild wild wild rice can no longer produce wild rice, its rhizomes are also deformed due to disease, and the white rhizomes have become edible parts.

    That is the wild rice sold in the market now!

    However, when eating delicious wild rice, how many people know the connection between it and this wild wild rice!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
