How Kratom became a medicinal herb and ingredient in China. 桔梗 - 既是药材也是一种美食。

Kratom is a common plant in the mountains, and identifying them is easy. It is the one with purple bell-like flowers on the hillside every summer. I remember when I was a child, every year in autumn and winter, people in the mountains would dig up Kratom, wash and dry it, then carry it to the town and sell it to the herbal medicine vendor. When I was in elementary school, my main meal was pickled Platycodon grandiflorus, and when I think about it now, I still have a faint bitter taste in my mouth and the unique aroma of Platycodon grandiflorus. We sent a message to a friend in the Northeast, asking him to help us prepare the last batch of herbs.
桔梗在山里是一种常见的植物，辨认它们也很容易，每年夏末在山坡上开着紫色的像铃铛一样花朵的就是它。记得小时候，每年秋冬季节，山里的人都会去挖桔梗，洗净晒干后背到镇上卖给收药材的商贩，桔梗也可以做腌菜，把新鲜桔梗切条，冷水浸泡后晒至半干，用熟油辣椒花椒各种调料拌匀，装罐子里即可。我读小学时候主要的下饭菜就是腌桔梗，现在回想起来嘴里都还有淡淡的苦味以及桔梗特有的香味。时至深秋，随着桔梗的晒干，我们准备近一年的原材料也差不多了，给东北的朋友发一条信息，央他帮忙准备好最后一味药材，至此，材料准备完成。
