The Orphan's Counterattack in the 1970s

Chapter 98 Digging Ginseng

It seemed that he still needed to find someone to inquire about Yu Youyin's parents, so that he would not be so passive.

I don't know if Aunt Chen has time recently. It would be more appropriate for her to go to Yujia Village next door to inquire about this kind of thing.

Chen Xiaolin stayed in the yard until after ten o'clock before going back to sleep. If she didn't sleep, she wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow.

The next day, the genius was slightly bright, and Chen Xiaolin went up the mountain with a backpack and a snakeskin bag.

The fog on the mountain hadn't dried yet, and her pants were wet before she even climbed to the top.

While no one was going up the mountain yet, Chen Xiaolin had no choice but to go to the first space and change out of her wet pants.

Next time she must not go up the mountain so early. There is not only a lot of fog on the mountain in the morning, but also a lot of cobwebs, and now there are a lot of them on her hair.

Chen Xiaolin rested for a while, waited for the sun to rise and there was not so much dew before continuing on her way.

There were few people walking on the outskirts of the deep mountains, and it was not even easy to find the road. I could only use a hatchet to clear the way while walking.

Honeysuckle likes the sun and usually grows on sunny hillsides, so Chen Xiaolin can only walk along the sunny side of the mountain.

After walking for almost an hour, Chen Xiaolin came to a hillside with few shrubs.

The hillside is covered with golden and white honeysuckle, and there are many bees and butterflies flying around them.

Chen Xiaolin took out a sickle from the space. Today she planned to cut back the honeysuckle vines as well.

This place was too close to the mountains. In order to avoid danger, she could only fight quickly.

In order to speed up, she threw all the honeysuckle she cut into the space.

In less than half an hour, the honeysuckle all over the hillside disappeared.

Chen Xiaolin was very proud when she saw the honeysuckle vines piled up in the space. It was faster this way, but it would still be too slow to just pick flowers.

After walking forward for a while, Chen Xiaolin saw several clusters of honeysuckle, all of which she had put into the space with the flowers and vines.

When she was about to go back, she also found a patch of gastrodia elata.

Gastrodia elata is much more valuable than honeysuckle. Chen Xiaolin seemed to see a pile of small coins waving to her.

In order to save time, she had lunch in the space.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xiaolin came out of the space. She first used a lawn mower to clean up the surrounding grass, and then started digging with a hoe.

Digging this piece of gastrodia was really time-consuming. It took more than three hours to dig it out.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Chen Xiaolin quickly packed her things and went down the mountain. The mountain at night was quite dangerous.

It was easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down. By the time Chen Xiaolin walked out of the mountain, she could hardly see the road.

She could only continue going down the mountain with a flashlight. Fortunately, she usually walked this part of the way cutting pigweed, so the road was relatively flat as there were many people walking on it.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Xiaolin returned home with heavy steps.

Although I was quite tired today, I felt so happy when I saw the harvest in the space.

In the next few days, Chen Xiaolin completed the task early every morning.

After lunch, she would go up the mountain to look for honeysuckle. She planned to get as much as she could during the flowering period, put them in the space, and then pick them out and dry them when she had time.

After several days of hard work, she had almost brought back all the honeysuckle on the outskirts of the mountain.

She also brought back a lot of gastrodia elata and wolfberry. Now her yard is full of drying, and even Uncle Chen's family helped dry a lot.

While Chen Xiaolin was trying to find honeysuckle, Yu Youyin from Yujia Village next door also went up the mountain frequently while recuperating.

Yu Youyin knows more medicinal materials than Chen Xiaolin. Whenever he sees something useful, he will dig it up and concoct it.

During this time, he brought back a lot of Chicken Spathels from the mountains. These wild Chicken Spathets are very effective in treating dysmenorrhea.

The medicine he prepared for Chen Xiaolin last time was also made into pills. When the Millet Spatholobus is ready, he plans to send it to her together.

Yesterday, Yu Youyin also discovered two wild ginseng trees in the mountains.

Early this morning, he took Yu Erniu up the mountain together.

"Brother, this wild ginseng is quite big. It looks almost seventy or eighty years old." Yu Erniu took the newly dug wild ginseng and was reluctant to put it down. He had been hanging around in the mountains for so long and there were no ginseng seedlings left. Seeing this, I didn't expect that his eldest brother would be so lucky to find two wild ginseng trees of this age.

"About that. The one I'm digging now will probably be more than a hundred years old."

"How much is that worth? Brother, you are so lucky. It would be great if I could find a wild ginseng tree."

"If you look around here more, you might be able to find it."

When Yu Erniu heard Yu Youyin's words, he started to wander around. Not long after, he saw a four-leaf wild ginseng on the nearby hillside.

"Brother, come here and help me take a look. I seem to have found ginseng too."

"You tie it with a red rope first. I'll dig this one and then go over to help." Digging wild ginseng requires patience. If you can't rush, Yu Youyin can only use tools to dig slowly. Even if you dig out one ginseng tendril, it will affect the situation. its quality.

Half an hour later, Yu Youyin finally dug out the ginseng in his hand.

This ginseng is almost as thick as an arm, and its reed roots look about one hundred and twenty years old, and they are really growing now.

When the time comes, the smaller one can be used as a betrothal gift, and the larger one can be kept for emergencies at home.

Yu Youyin collected his ginseng and began to help Yu Erniu dig it. The ginseng he found looked quite old.

When all the roots of the ginseng were dug out, Yu Erniu became restless. He never thought that one day he would also be able to find a ginseng tree, and now he is starting to tremble a little when he speaks. "Brother, if I get rich, then I will have money to marry a wife."

"Not yet. I plan to sell the ginseng first and then go on a blind date. I want to find someone better-looking." Yu Erniu has been hanging out with Yu Youyin since he was a child. He is used to seeing his brother's face more beautiful than women. With such a face, it would be difficult for ordinary people to look at him anymore.

"After I help you concoct it, you can bring the ginseng to Lao Niu and he will help you find a buyer."

"Don't you sell your ginseng?"

"My ginseng is not for sale. I will directly give it as a betrothal gift to Xiao Lin. Good wild ginseng is not easy to find, and we are not short of money. We plan to keep it for future use." Yu Youyin still has a lot of money in his hands. He earned almost 10,000 yuan in 2008. In addition, his master also left him a bankbook, and he might not be able to spend all the money in it in his lifetime.
