The happy little days of the Ye family

Tangshan originally planned to go to Xiaohe Town tomorrow to exchange the things found in the house for gold nuggets and silver.

But the lotus roots brought back cannot be delayed. The father and son agreed to go to the mountains to plant lotus roots tomorrow, and then go to Xiaohe Town together the day after tomorrow.

After dinner, Ye Qingqing took out the lotus roots soaked in the pool and disposed of them.

When Tang Xiaojing dug the lotus roots, he broke some, but most of them were connected in three or four sections. Ye Qingqing used a knife to divide the lotus roots into small sections.

If there are many roots, use a separate section. If there are fewer roots or are smaller, use two sections together.

The lotus root, which was half a sack, was divided into 21 sections by Ye Qingqing.

There are a total of 7 springs in the two hills, and three small sections of lotus root are planted in one of the springs.

Ye Qingqing thought that there were three sections of lotus root, how could one or two sections survive?

Early the next morning, Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing took lotus roots and went out early.

The father and son acted separately. Tang Xiaojing took Da Huang to Stone Mountain, while Tang Shan took Xiao Huang to Rabbit Mountain.

There are four springs on Stone Mountain, one near the foot of the mountain, two on the mountainside, and one near the top of the mountain.

The first spring was very close to the foot of the mountain. Tang Xiaojing walked dozens of meters up and saw a small spring.

The spring flows out from the cracks in the rocks. The spring is not big, and the water flowing out is only as big as two fingers.

Under the spring, there is a puddle the size of a table.

Although the puddle was not big, it was quite deep. Tang Xiaojing had taken a bath in the puddle some time ago, and the water reached about Tang Xiaojing's waist.

Tang Xiaojing thought that this puddle was the smallest, so he only put two sections of lotus roots in it, and planned to plant the remaining section in the largest puddle.

The humidity near the spring was heavy, and a lot of mushrooms grew around it. In less than a while, Tang Xiaojing picked a large handful of aeruginosa.

Tang Xiaojing deliberately walked around and encountered a lot of mushrooms, including aeruginosa, green head fungi and mushrooms.

On the way to the second spring, Tang Xiaojing was either picking herbs or mushrooms.

When we arrived at the second spring, the basket already contained half a basket of mushrooms and two wild Polygonum multiflorum plants.

The spring next to the dendrobium and the second spring are both halfway up the mountain, but one is in front of the mountain and the other is behind the mountain.

There are relatively few mountain herbs behind it, so Tang Xiaojing usually comes relatively rarely.

The second spring emerges from the ground and is the largest of the four springs on the mountain.

The spring is located on a relatively high ground. After the spring water emerges from the ground, it flows down the low-lying area and gathers into a large puddle not far away.

The puddle was as big as two tables, but the water level was relatively shallow, only reaching a little above Tang Xiaojing's knees.

This puddle is relatively large, so Tang Xiaojing planted a small segment of lotus root in each of the four corners.

After the lotus roots were planted, Tang Xiaojing checked around again and soon harvested several morels and a large handful of green-headed mushrooms.

Small animals often come to drink water from puddles and springs. Tang Xiaojing has dug several traps nearby before.

However, the long-term worker at home had already come over to check the traps in the morning. At this time, the traps were still in good condition.

Just as Tang Xiaojing was about to call Dahuang to go to the third spring, he saw Dahuang driving a wild goat over from a distance.

The wild goat was smaller than Dahuang and was chased by the excited Dahuang.

Tang Xiaojing was digging a trap in front of him. The wild goat panicked and ran directly towards the trap, and then fell into the trap without any accident.

After the wild goat fell into the trap, Rhubarb jumped proudly beside Tang Xiaojing, and its big fluffy tail behind him almost broke.

Tang Xiaojing walked to the edge of the trap and looked inside the trap.

Seeing that the wild goat was bleeding after falling into the trap, he also jumped out of the trap and tied up the wild goat whose leg had been broken.

Tang Xiaojing easily carried the wild goat out and placed it on the branch of a big tree.

"I'll wrong you a little first."

It was too strenuous to carry the wild goat up the mountain, so Tang Xiaojing planned to take it away when he went down the mountain.

The third spring is naturally the one under the dendrobium.

Tang Xiaojing threw three sections of lotus root into the puddle below the spring, then raised his head and carefully looked at the dendrobium above.

There are four dendrobiums on the top of the rock. Tang Xiaojing divided them into two groups and picked two of them every year so that the other two could rest and recuperate.

The exposed dendrobium tree, which Tang Xiaojing did not pick last year, is now so lush that its branches almost block a third of the rock wall.

In addition, it had rained a few days ago, and the dendrobium was greener and thicker than when Tang Xiaojing came last time.

After checking the dendrobium, Tang Xiaojing then went to the side to check the small stone slope where one could climb up the cave. He was relieved when he saw that there were no traces of anyone climbing up there.

Most of the surrounding areas were rocks and large stones, with very few mushrooms. Tang Xiaojing had no intention of wandering around here.

Just as he was about to leave for the fourth spring, Rhubarb suddenly burst out from the bushes behind.

Dahuang still had a half-sized rabbit in his mouth. He walked swaggeringly in front of Tang Xiaojing, raised his head and looked at Tang Xiaojing with a smug look on his face.

Tang Xiaojing happily took the rabbit from Dahuang's mouth and rubbed Dahuang's big head happily.

"That's awesome. I'll give you extra food tonight."

The little rabbit had expired. Tang Xiaojing found some broad leaves, wrapped the rabbit well, and put it at the bottom of the basket.

"Dahuang is gone." Tang Xiaojing called to Dahuang who was still sniffing around.

Tang Xiaojing took Rhubarb and arrived at a honeysuckle forest in less than a while.

A little below the top of the mountain, there is a small patch of honeysuckle, and the fourth spring is in the center of the honeysuckle forest.

It is precisely because of the nourishment of this spring that the surrounding honeysuckles grow very well, and they are even connected into a small honeysuckle forest.

Tang Xiaojing gently put the last three lotus roots in the basket into the puddle, and then took the rhubarb to look around.

The surrounding honeysuckle grew very lushly, blocking most of the sunlight. Many mushrooms grew under the honeysuckle vines.

There were a lot of green-headed mushrooms, morels and red mushrooms, and the basket behind Tang Xiaojing was almost full before he knew it.

When going down the mountain, Tang Xiaojing deliberately chose a different path from the one when going up the mountain, and picked mushrooms while going down the mountain.

Tang Xiaojing had just picked mushrooms on the mountain a few days ago. He knew exactly where mushrooms grew. Along the way, he picked out the places where mushrooms had been picked before.

Especially the places where morels and gallinobacteria grew, Tang Xiaojing walked through them all.

When we were halfway down the mountain, the backpack behind us was filled with all kinds of mushrooms.

After picking mushrooms, Tang Xiaojing went back to the second spring.

The wild goat only had a broken leg and no other injuries on its body. Tang Xiaojing was quite energetic when he came back.

Tang Xiaojing carried the wild goat on his shoulders and walked down the mountain easily.

As soon as Tang Xiaojing put the wild goat on the bullock cart, he looked up and saw Tangshan picking mushrooms halfway up Rabbit Mountain.

When going down the mountain, the backpack behind Tangshan was also filled with various mushrooms.

The mushrooms collected by the father and son were different. Most of what Tang Xiaojing collected were aeruginosa, green head fungi, red mushrooms and morels.

Most of those collected in Tangshan are straw mushrooms, aeruginosa, drumstick fungi and gallinobacteria.

Today is another fruitful day.
