An evil grass in rural areas, with leaves like leeks, is hated by farmers, but it can be used as herbal tea to relieve summer heat in dog days.

The temperature is hot in summer, which is a period when many plants grow vigorously. From the perspective of agricultural planting, crops will grow well and weeds in crop fields will grow quickly. There are many kinds of weeds, among which perennial weeds are the biggest headache for farmers.

They have developed roots and strong drug resistance, which will become the focus of control every year.

Typha latifolia is a common weed among perennial uncontrollable weeds. The reason why farmers are hated by their friends is related to many factors.

Its root system is very developed, its reproductive ability is very strong and its drug resistance is also very strong. After routine spraying of herbicides, the control effect is average.

Moreover, it will compete with crops for water and nutrients, and it is also a place where some pests and diseases inhabit and breed, which will cause a certain reduction in crop production.

If the cattail grass is pulled manually, it will basically be broken from the root, but the above-ground part will be pulled out, while the underground roots will continue in the soil and grow back soon.

In addition, because of its well-developed root system and strong grip on the ground, it is difficult to pull out beef tendon directly, which is one of the reasons why it is called "beef tendon". As we all know, beef tendon is very hard, and beef tendon also belongs to the status of "beef tendon" among many weeds.

Cattle and grass are distributed all over the roadside, ditches, foothills, rivers and farmland, and the distribution area is relatively wide, which can be basically seen in many places in China.

Some friends who live in the city, or friends who don't know anything about Ajuga, don't look at the roots, just look at the stems and leaves of Ajuga, which is normal. If seen from a distance, it does have some similarities with leeks.

However, if you look closely, it is still very different from leek.

If you see beef tendon grass in the ground or on the roadside, you can't say it's leek, it will make others laugh.

Pucao is not only a weed, but also has other uses in the eyes of some elderly people in rural areas.

On the one hand, it has a certain effect of relieving summer heat.

I asked my neighbor's grandfather in his 80s. According to him, when he was young, the production team in the village would find someone to dig beef tendon every summer.

Then boil the beef tendon into soup, put it in a vat and pull it to the brigade. Everyone drinks a small bowl when they are working. I didn't know what the effect was at that time. I watched others drink it myself, and it smelled of grass. Later, I asked others, only to know that it has a certain effect of relieving summer heat.

I usually drink it in the dog days, and I don't drink it after the weather turns cold.

Now everyone basically doesn't drink the water cooked by beef tendon grass. If you want to relieve summer heat, there are special drugs for relieving summer heat, or drink mung bean soup.

On the other hand, families who used to raise chickens also dug some beef tendon to feed them, not to say that beef tendon was fed as a staple food. If it is a staple food, it is estimated that chickens can't be raised, and they can't just eat grass.

As for the reasons, according to some farmers, some ingredients contained in grass can prevent the occurrence of avian plague and bird flu, and in this respect, the preventive effect is still ok.

For the previous farmers, in order to save costs, they will try.

Although there are professional preventive drugs now, there are still some small farmers who adopt the method of beef tendon feeding.

In some areas, vendors also buy beef tendon at different prices. Generally, a catty of beef tendon can sell for 8- 10 yuan. What did they do after they took it? Some of them are really used to soak herbal tea for heatstroke prevention on a hot day.

The dog days are coming this year. If you are interested, you can dig some beef tendon and try it. Just dry it and cook it.

Of course, if you can't get used to its taste, or find it unbelievable, it is not recommended to try it easily.

What do you think of this?
