The happy little days of the Ye family

Tang Xiaojing saw Dahuang and Xiaohuang running forward, and quickly pulled Ye Qingqing to follow them.

Fortunately, the valley was not big, and the two quickly caught up with Da Huang and Xiao Huang.

Xiao Huang stood under a big tree as thick as a bucket, sniffing carefully among a pile of weeds.

Tang Xiaojing felt happy and quickly took Ye Qingqing forward to check.

Not long after, Tang Xiaojing found a wild ginseng in the weeds in front of Xiao Huang, and it looked much bigger than the small wild ginseng he saw just now.

Tang Xiaojing carefully examined the leaves and branches of this wild ginseng tree, and happily said to Kazuya Qingqing:

"I'm really lucky today. This wild ginseng tree is at least 30 years old."

"Really? How much is this wild ginseng worth?" Ye Qingqing came closer and stared at the wild ginseng in front of him.

Tang Xiaojing said with a smile: "Don't worry, you have to wait until you dig it out to see its condition and age before you can judge."

Fortunately, he brought a small hoe with him. Tang Xiaojing quickly took out the hoe from the basket on his back and started digging for ginseng.

Ginseng roots can also be used as medicine. Tang Xiaojing did not dig directly from the roots, but started digging downwards from a place far away from the roots.

Tang Xiaojing concentrated on digging wild ginseng, and Ye Qingqing on the side also stared at the wild ginseng on the ground nervously, for fear that it would run away.

According to legend, ginseng can run, but Ye Qingqing can't figure it out. Ginseng doesn't have legs, so why can it run? It sounds like a bluffing story.

Although Ye Qingqing didn't believe that the ginseng would escape, he still stared closely, not daring to blink.

The wild ginseng had just been dug halfway, when Rhubarb suddenly howled. Tang Xiaojing was not sure whether Rhubarb had found something good or was in danger.

Tang Xiaojing had to put down the half-dug wild ginseng, and the two of them anxiously looked for rhubarb.

Before leaving, Ye Qingqing called Xiao Huang who was not far away and asked Xiao Huang to stay where he was and guard the wild ginseng.

The two followed Dahuang's voice and quickly found it. Dahuang found wild ginseng in the grass.

After a while, Tang Xiaojing found a small wild ginseng tree from the weeds. It looked like it should be about 10 years old.

Tang Xiaojing felt that the wild ginseng was too small and not worth much at this time. It would be better to dig it back when it grows up.

Tang Xiaojing looked at Ye Qingqing, "Qingqing, this wild ginseng is about ten years old. This small wild ginseng is only worth a few taels of silver."

"The older the ginseng is, the more valuable it is. Why don't you keep this wild ginseng tree first, and then dig it back up the mountain when you need it later."

"Okay, this place is very hidden, and we are not afraid of anyone coming in to steal wild ginseng."

Ye Qingqing wanted to keep it for his children later, but Ye Qingqing was too shy to say it out loud.

Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing were ready to go back and continue digging for the big wild ginseng.

As soon as the two took a step, Dahuang howled again and patted the ground beside the small ginseng with his front feet, seemingly ignoring why the two suddenly left.

Ye Qingqing rubbed Dahuang's big furry head, then took out a pancake from the backpack and handed it to Dahuang's mouth.

"The rhubarb is great. This pancake is to reward you. I will make roast chicken for you when I go back tonight."

There was something to eat, so Dahuang didn't care about the wild ginseng. He bit into the pancake and started to eat it hungrily.

The two went back to look for Xiao Huang. Ye Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the wild ginseng was still there. She just said, how could ginseng grow legs on its own?

Tang Xiaojing picked up the small medicine hoe and continued to dig ginseng, while Ye Qingqing took out a pancake from the basket on his back, which was to reward Xiao Huang.

Xiao Huang didn't like eating pancakes very much, but for Ye Qingqing's sake, he reluctantly bit the pancake in his mouth and walked aside obediently to eat it.

The 30-year-old wild ginseng is quite big, and there are many ginseng roots underneath. Tang Xiaojing dug the ground very carefully.

It took Tang Xiaojing half an hour to finally dig out the entire wild ginseng tree.

Tang Xiaojing handed the wild ginseng to Ye Qingqing, "This wild ginseng is not small. It looks like it is more than thirty years old, and it is in good condition. I estimate it is worth at least 40 taels of silver."

"I'm getting rich. I didn't expect this wild ginseng to be so valuable. I'm going to reward you with some rhubarb and small yellow in the evening."

Ye Qingqing was holding the wild ginseng, feeling so happy that her lips almost reached behind her ears.

Tang Xiaojing asked Ye Qingqing to take the wild ginseng first, and then brought back some bark and moss.

Tang Xiaojing put some moss inside the bark, then carefully placed the wild ginseng on the moss and wrapped it.

This is what Shopkeeper Wang taught him, so that he can retain the medicinal effect of wild ginseng to the maximum extent.

Shopkeeper Wang said that if the wild ginseng is wrapped in bark and moss, the medicinal effect will not deteriorate even if it is left for a few days.

After digging the wild ginseng, Tang Xiaojing took Ye Qingqing for a stroll in the small valley.

The timid Ye Qingqing called Dahuang and Xiaohuang again. With these two big guys around, Ye Qingqing felt more secure.

This small valley is actually similar to the woods outside. They are all towering trees, but the species of trees are relatively single. There are thick fallen leaves on the ground, and the weeds are more lush than outside.

However, this small valley feels more humid and colder.

Ye Qingqing always felt the wind blowing around him, and he didn't dare to leave Tang Xiaojing even a step. He pulled Tang Xiaojing's arm tightly with his two small hands.

Although Ye Qingqing was scared, she was still quite curious about this small valley. There were a lot of rotten trees around, and there were various strange mushrooms growing on these rotten trees.

Looking at these strange mushrooms, Ye Qingqing suddenly thought of Ganoderma lucidum, gently pulled Tang Xiaojing's hand and asked:

"Ms. sir, do you think there is Ganoderma lucidum here?"

Ganoderma lucidum has nourishing and strengthening effects and can be used to nourish the kidneys, replenish qi and strengthen the brain. Its medicinal effects are very mild, and it is a more precious medicinal material than wild ginseng.

"Ganoderma lucidum usually grows in a ventilated and humid environment. It's quite humid here, but it doesn't seem to be very ventilated."

Tang Xiaojing was not sure whether there was Ganoderma lucidum here, so he told Ye Qingqing everything he knew.

Ye Qingqing had never seen Ganoderma lucidum, but Tang Xiaojing had seen it when he was an apprentice in the pharmacy. The task of finding Ganoderma lucidum was left to Tang Xiaojing.

The two walked around the valley, looking at the nearby grass, every tree and every rotten wood, but found no sign of Ganoderma lucidum.

However, there are quite a lot of medicinal materials in this small valley, except for the two wild ginseng trees found by Dahuang and Xiaohuang.

Tang Xiaojing also discovered three old Polygonatum spp. and a small piece of Polygonum multiflorum. In addition, there are some common herbs.

Tang Xiaojing picked all the old herbs in the valley, and filled his backpack with various herbs.

Not only that, Tang Xiaojing also planted all the herbal seeds he brought in the valley.

The soil of this valley is fertile and very humid. More importantly, it is very secretive. It is perfect for growing precious medicinal materials.
