Gansui was once a harmful weed in farmland, but now some people earn ten thousand yuan per mu from it

Friends who live in rural areas must be used to weeds, because in the countryside, whether in front of or behind houses, by roadsides, by water, in farmland, or in mountain forests, weeds can be seen everywhere. In fact, most farmer friends are quite fond of weeds, because many weeds are very useful, such as Houttuynia cordata, Plantago asiatica, and purslane. They can not only be eaten as wild vegetables, but can also be used as herbs to treat illnesses.

However, there are always some peculiar weeds that were once disliked by many farmer friends, but have now become "crops" that help farmer friends make money.

Grain in Ear is almost here, and many farmer friends in the village who farm have begun to get busy one after another. The author is the same, but the author is not busy harvesting, but helping to remove harmful weeds from the fields.

When removing harmful weeds from the fields in the morning, in the field of a farmer friend, the author saw a strange crop. The reason it was strange is that in the author's impression, this crop had once been a weed, and moreover a major harmful weed in farmland. Yet now it has become a crop. In the author's hometown, this weed is called "Gansui."

The author once asked many older farmer friends in the village why this weed had such an interesting name, and the older farmer friends' answer was also very interesting. It is said that because this weed is poisonous, in ancient times there was a myth that even ghosts would become ugly after eating this grass, hence the name.

In fact, the scientific name of Gansui is "Gansui" (Euphorbia kansui). It is distributed in rural areas of most provinces and cities in our country. However, because it likes to grow in farmland, it was also a harmful weed disliked by many farmer friends in the past. In addition, it is poisonous, so even fewer people liked it. It was often removed as soon as it was seen.

However, with research on Gansui, it has been found that it is actually a weed with very good medicinal value.

The author also consulted relevant materials. According to records, the tuberous root of Gansui can be used as medicine. Its taste is bitter, its nature is cold, and it is poisonous. As medicine, it has the effects of draining water and reducing swelling, and reducing swelling and dispersing nodules. It can be used to treat edema, ascites, retained fluids causing binding in the chest, epilepsy, asthma and cough, constipation and urinary retention, and many other symptoms.

Because of this, some farmer friends changed their views on it, and even planted it as a crop.

According to the farmer friend in the village who grows Gansui, planting Gansui is relatively easy. It can be sown in March and June, and it can be harvested twice a year, in spring and autumn. Generally, about 400 jin can be harvested per mu, and the current market price of Gansui is generally between 30 yuan and 60 yuan per jin. As long as no disaster occurs, it is basically possible to earn nearly ten thousand yuan per mu per year. Gansui also has another advantage: once planted, it can be harvested for many years, so it can also be considered a wealth-making grass for farmer friends.

The author also learned related information. In fact, growing this crop still carries certain risks, so one should still be cautious.
