The happy little days of the Ye family

At dawn, the big roosters in the village began to crow, occasionally accompanied by a few dog barks.

Tang Xiaojing got up gently, but no matter how gently he moved, Ye Qingqing still woke up.

Seeing that Ye Qingqing was about to get up, Tang Xiaojing said softly: "Qingqing, you can sleep for a while, and I will call you after you make breakfast."

Ye Qingqing also woke up early after going to bed early last night. "No, I've gone to bed. Let's make breakfast together."

In fact, Ye Qingqing disliked the pancakes made by Tang Xiaojing. They were hard and not tasty at all.

Tang Xiaojing's cooking skills were average and he could make porridge, but his pancakes were average. Ye Qingqing planned to make pancakes and take them up the mountain.

After the two washed up, they went to the kitchen to make breakfast together.

Tangshan had already gotten up by this time, picked up two buckets of water in the backyard and headed to the kitchen.

Tang Shan poured water into the large water tank. The two buckets of water only filled half of the tank. This water was not enough. Tang Shan picked up two more buckets of water and filled the water tank.

In the kitchen, Ye Qingqing took out a big pumpkin and planned to make pumpkin porridge and pumpkin pie.

The large pumpkin was cut in half. Ye Qingqing washed the pumpkin seeds inside and took them to the yard to dry.

I learned this from Mrs. Ye. If you save more, you can fry pumpkin seeds and eat them.

Tang Xiaojing cut the pumpkin into thin slices, put some in to make pumpkin porridge, and steamed the rest to make pumpkin pie.

While steaming the pumpkin, Ye Qingqing washed all the eggs at home and steamed them in a pot, planning to take them up the mountain for lunch.

There are 10 eggs in total, including rhubarb and small huang, which is exactly two for each person.

Today we were going to the Stone Valley on the mountain. The father and son didn't do any boxing. They had breakfast early and went out.

Tang Xiaoshan and Tang Shan were driving an ox cart. Tang Xiao Jing was carrying Ye Qingqing, while Tang Shan was carrying Da Huang and Xiao Huang.

The goal of the three people was to explore the small valley.

Therefore, no one paid attention to the herbs and mushrooms on the road and walked straight into the dense forest.

Tang Xiaojing had just found the small wild ginseng in the dense forest some time ago. Tangshan had never seen it before, so Tang Xiaojing took Tangshan back to see the wild ginseng first.

This was the first time Tangshan saw fresh wild ginseng. He was very curious and looked at it carefully for a long time.

"It turns out that fresh wild ginseng looks like this. It looks just like ordinary weeds."

Ye Qingqing called Dahuang and Xiaohuang over, and then pointed at the wild ginseng. Dahuang and Xiaohuang led the way for the three of them with understanding.

The three of them followed Da Huang and Xiao Huang, turning left and right for about a quarter of an hour before arriving at a stone wall.

The three of them followed Xiao Huang for another ten meters and came to a rocky hill that was not that steep.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang climbed up the stone hill with familiarity and looked down at the three people walking slowly below.

Tangshan moved faster and was already halfway up the climb, while Tang Xiaojing supported Ye Qingqing and slowly climbed up behind him.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

Dahuang raised his head and howled a few times anxiously. Seeing that the three people behind him were too slow, he turned around and went down the valley by himself.

When Xiao Huang saw Da Huang running away, he glanced at Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing at the bottom with contempt, then turned around and ran away with Da Huang.

Seeing Dahuang and Xiaohuang running away without looking back, Tang Xiaojing cursed and said:

"Big Huang and Xiao Huang, these two white-eyed dogs, Bai is so kind to them."

"Are they hungry for a meal at noon?" Ye Qingqing said with a cheerful smile.

"That's no need. I'll teach them a lesson later." Tang Xiaojing said harshly, but in fact he still hurt Dahuang and Xiaohuang very much.

Tangshan soon climbed to the highest point of the stone hill and looked down at the small valley below.

The valley is not big, the bottom is about the size of half an acre, and there are many tall trees growing below.

Weeds and vines also grow lushly under the big tree, and you can see a dark green patch at a glance.

Looking up from the valley, we can see that it is surrounded by rocks. There is a lot of green moss on the rocks, and there are some weeds and vines growing in the gaps between the rocks.

Tangshan had good eyesight and saw a vine on a rock in the distance that looked a bit like dendrobium.

At this time, Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing also climbed up. Tangshan excitedly pulled Tang Xiaojing's arm and pointed to a particularly good-growing vine in the distance.

"Look at the vine in front of you. Is it dendrobium?"

"Dendrobium? It does look similar. The smaller one not far away seems to be Millet Spatholobus."

Ye Qingqing smiled happily and motioned to Tang Xiaoshan to look aside.

Tang Xiaoshan was in a very good mood and said happily: "It is indeed Dendrobium and Millaplasma."

Ye Qingqing suggested: "How about we walk around the stones. Maybe there are other Millet Spatholobus and Dendrobium on this circle of stones."

Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan also thought this was a good idea, and the three of them walked cautiously towards the Dendrobium and Millaplasia in the distance.

There were some weeds growing in the crevices of the rocks. Whenever he saw weeds or vines, Tang Xiaojing would stop and look through them carefully, for fear of missing any valuable herbs.

The three of them walked on the top of the rock. It was difficult to walk in the first place. They stopped and walked for a while before they came to Dendrobium.

This dendrobium grows in the crevices of the rocks on the inner side of the valley.

The root of the dendrobium is about a hand's distance from Tang Xiaojing's feet. The dendrobium grows downward, and the highest point is the root.

Tang Xiaojing used a machete to hook up the dendrobium branches and handed them to Tang Shan beside him to hold.

Tangshan pulled the vine and felt something was wrong with the weight.

Tangshan had rich experience in surviving in the wild. He knew that this kind of vine was the easiest place to hide snakes, so he took the branch of dendrobium and shook it vigorously.

Sure enough, within a few shakes, a small green snake fell from the dendrobium.

The little snake happened to fall on a protruding stone and was bruised and bloody.

Ye Qingqing felt a little disgusted when he saw that the snake was smashed to pieces and its blood was splattered on the ground, and he quickly turned his head.

Tang Shan shook it hard again, and after making sure there was nothing else, Tang Xiaojing squatted down and chopped off half of the dendrobium branches with a machete.

Tangshan pulled the branches of dendrobium and pulled up the cut dendrobium.

Looking at the thick dendrobium branches, Tang Xiaojing said with a smile:

"This dendrobium is at least ten years old. This half of it is worth seventeen or eighty taels of silver."

Ye Qingqing happily handed over the basket behind him and asked Tang Xiaojing to put the arranged dendrobium into it.

"You're getting rich, because you have a sharp eye, dad."

There is a Millipeda a little in front of the dendrobium. This Millipedia is not small, only a little smaller than the one I found two days ago.

Tang Xiaojing looked at the chicken-blooded vine in front of him and said with a smile: "This chicken-blooded vine is really not small, it's worth nine taels of silver."

Ye Qingqing was grinning from ear to ear.

Tang Xiaojing put the basket on his back and continued walking forward. "It's not the time to pick the Millaplasma vines yet. Let's go look elsewhere."

The three of them walked around the small valley, but unfortunately no other dendrobium and millipede were found behind.

"Ooooooooooooooo!"

"Ooooooooooooooo!"

At this time, the urgent calls of Da Huang and Xiao Huang came from below.
