The happy little days of the Ye family

Tang Xiaojing dug out all 8 old Polygonatum japonica trees. After digging out the Polygonatum japonica, the ground was full of pits.

Looking at the small hole dug by his son, Tangshan remembered that they also brought herbal seeds and reminded:

"Xiao Jing, didn't you bring herbal seeds? The small hole you dug is just right for replanting the seeds of Polygonatum japonica."

"Dad, you have a good idea. Polygonatum has grown here. If you plant the seeds again, they will surely survive."

Tang Xiaojing happily took out the polygonatum seeds from the backpack, sprinkled two seeds in each small pit, and then buried the small pits.

Looking at the medicinal seeds in his hand, Tang Xiaojing smiled and said:

"The fallen leaves in this small valley are very thick, and the soil below is also very fertile. The weeds and trees are very lush. It must be very good for growing herbs."

After returning to Taohua Village, Tang Xiaojing had been growing medicinal herbs for several years and had some understanding of the growing environment of medicinal herbs.

This small valley is indeed suitable for growing medicinal herbs, especially Polygonatum and wild ginseng.

Tang Xiaojing took Tang Shan for a walk in the valley. If they came across a place suitable for growing Polygonatum or Gastrodia elata, the two of them would stop and plant medicinal herbs.

Ye Qingqing, carrying a small basket, followed the two of them to pick mushrooms.

The valley is relatively humid, and there are many mushrooms growing under the trees or in the grass, and each one is particularly plump.

In addition to the common straw mushrooms, aeruginosa, green head mushrooms, red mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms, there are many mushrooms that Ye Qingqing has never seen in the valley.

Ye Qingqing only picked mushrooms that he knew, and did not dare to touch any mushrooms that he had not seen before.

People in the village believe that the mushrooms in the mountains are a gift from God, but not all mushrooms are edible, and many are poisonous.

Ever since she was young, Mrs. Ye has told Ye Qingqing to only pick mushrooms that she knows, and never pick mushrooms that she has never seen before. The brighter and more beautiful the mushrooms, the more toxic they are.

The trees here are all very tall, almost every tree is as thick as a bucket, and some of them cannot even be covered by Ye Qingqing's arms.

There are a lot of fallen rotten wood under the tree, most of which are covered with thick black fungus.

Ye Qingqing called Dahuang and Xiaohuang and followed the father and son, happily picking mushrooms and black fungus.

No one has come here to pick mushrooms. There are so many kinds of mushrooms. It didn’t take long for Ye Qingqing to pick half a basket of mushrooms and black fungus.

If he saw a mushroom growing on rotten wood, Ye Qingqing would drag Tang Xiaojing over to see if it was Ganoderma lucidum.

Of course, Ganoderma lucidum is not that easy to find. All that is found are some unknown mushrooms.

Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing were clearing the way ahead, cleaning up the weeds and carefully checking whether there were any valuable herbs under their feet.

However, except for the small piece of Polygonatum japonica found by Da Huang and Xiao Huang, most of what they saw were ordinary herbs.

Ordinary herbs are not valuable, and the father and son did not waste time picking them. Today's task is mainly to grow herbs.

The father and son dug holes and planted the seeds in some places with fertile soil suitable for growing Gastrodia elata and Polygonatum japonica.

Behind him, Ye Qingqing had just picked two aeruginosa. When he looked up, he saw a broken branch hanging on the trunk of the tree. There was a strange mushroom as big as a palm growing on the branch.

"Ms. sir, come and take a look. There is a strange mushroom on the rotten wood. It is so big, bigger than my hand."

Ye Qingqing didn't know many herbal medicines. If he saw a plant or mushroom he had never seen before, he would ask Tang Xiaojing to come over and take a look.

What if it's something valuable?

Tang Xiaojing picked the palm-sized strange mushroom from the tree, looked through it and said with a smile:

"Qingqing is really amazing. Although this strange mushroom is not Ganoderma lucidum, it is still a medicinal material."

"Is that worth it?"

"This is also a good thing. One flower is worth hundreds of coins."

Ye Qingqing took the big mushroom in Tang Xiaojing's hand and narrowed his eyes with laughter.

"So expensive? A few hundred coins is enough for our family to spend for a month."

Ye Qingqing put the big mushroom under the noses of Dahuang and Xiaohuang, hoping that Dahuang and Xiaohuang would look for the big mushroom.

I don’t know whether it’s because the smell of this mushroom is relatively weak, or because there is no second one in the valley, but Rhubarb and Xiaohuang didn’t have any reaction after smelling it.

Ye Qingqing could only put the mushroom back into Tang Xiaojing's basket in disappointment.

The three of them continued walking and soon found a stream. This stream is very small, formed by water emerging from a spring above the rock.

Ye Qingqing looked at the spring and felt a little thirsty, "There is a spring here, drink some water before leaving."

Ye Qingqing held the clear and cold spring water in both hands and drank in big gulps. The spring water was very sweet. After a few sips, Ye Qingqing felt very cool and comfortable.

"Dad, sir, the spring water here is so sweet. Come and drink water quickly."

After walking in the mountains for a long time, Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing also felt a little thirsty.

The father and son quickly put the herbal seeds into the small hole they had dug, and after burying them, they quickly walked towards Ye Qingqing.

The water flow in the spring is very large, otherwise it would not be able to form a small stream.

Tang Xiaojing held the spring water in his hands and washed his face first. The cold spring water splashed on his face, and he suddenly became energetic.

After drinking a few more sips of the cool and sweet spring water, Tang Xiaojing felt like he was alive.

Ye Qingqing was originally waiting on the side. When he raised his head, he saw a vine in the crevice in front of the stone. It looked like some Millet's bloodvine.

Ye Qingqing quickly waved to Tang Xiaojing, who had just finished drinking water, "Mr. sir, look at the front, is that vine in front of you, is it a Millipeda?"

Tang Xiaojing raised his head and glanced at the green vines, and said with a cheerful smile: "It is indeed a Millipeda vine. Xiao Qingqing's fortune is really good."

Ye Qingqing is very proud, "My grandma also said that I have been blessed with wealth since I was a child. My father said that when I was one year old, I held a small abacus in my left hand and my father's purse in my right hand."

"There are three Millaplasia japonicus in this small valley, which add up to more than 3 taels. Unfortunately, the Millaplasia can only be harvested in autumn and winter."

Looking at the leaves of the Millaplasma vine in front of her, Qingqing felt a little pity.

Obviously they knew they were valuable herbs, but they couldn't pick them before the time came, which made Ye Qingqing feel itchy.

At this time, there was a gurgling sound in Tang Xiaojing's stomach. Tang Xiaojing touched his flat stomach. He was hungry.

Tang Shan raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky. The sun had already reached the center. The three of them were so excited that it was already past lunch time without realizing it.

Tangshan took out a large bag of pumpkin cakes and boiled eggs from the basket on his back.

"It's getting late, let's eat something first. There aren't many herbal seeds left, and they will be planted soon in the afternoon."

There happened to be a clean big stone next to the spring. The three of them sat on the stone and ate pumpkin pie.

Tang Xiaojing peeled two eggs, gave one to Tangshan, and the other to Ye Qingqing.

Tang Xiaojing was just about to peel an egg for himself when he saw Rhubarb and Xiaohuang beside him, looking at him expectantly.

Tang Xiaojing accepted his fate and took another egg, "How could I forget you two great heroes? The younger one will peel the eggs for you right away."

The peeled eggs were placed in front of Dahuang and Xiaohuang. The two big guys opened their mouths and took the eggs directly in their mouths. They swallowed them after biting twice.

Tang Xiaojing patted the big butts of Dahuang and Xiaohuang and said in a rude manner:

"After eating my eggs, you two should continue to work hard and find more good things."

Dahuang and Xiaohuang ignored Tang Xiaojing after eating the eggs, turned around and ran away without looking back, and came to Ye Qingqing to beg for cakes.

Tang Xiaojing curled his lips and muttered dissatisfied: "White-eyed dog, I peeled eggs for you for free."

Tangshan immediately laughed and said: "Hahaha, Dahuang and Xiaohuang don't want to care about you anymore."

Ye Qingqing on the side also covered her mouth and snickered.
