The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Xilin wanted to discuss the betrothal gift, but Ye Qingqing and the Tang family's father and son did not stay. After dinner, the three of them walked slowly home.

After returning home, the three of them sat in the hall chatting and eating.

"Dad, many of the herbs on the mountain are ripe. Let's go up the mountain to collect herbs together tomorrow."

"Okay, are you going to the valley to collect herbs?"

Tang Xiaojing usually picked the common herbs on the mountain by himself. If the two of them went there together, they must be the herbs in the mysterious valley.

When Ye Qingqing heard that she was going to the valley to collect herbs, she perked up and said, "My husband, you said before that it is best to pick Millapiocarpus after the autumn harvest. Are you going to collect Millaplasma?"

Tang Xiaojing nodded excitedly and said excitedly:

"Before the autumn harvest, I went to the valley and saw a few Millaplasma vines. They all grew lush and leafy, and their branches were particularly strong. Now it's the perfect time to pick them back and process them."

“In addition, there are a lot of morels and gallinaceous mushrooms in the valley, so we can harvest the last crop of mushrooms before winter.”

Ye Qingqing has been thinking about the Millet Spatholobus in the valley for a long time. Touching her bulging belly, Ye Qingqing felt very regretful that they could not go to the valley to collect herbs and mushrooms together.

The next day he had to get up early to go to the valley to collect herbs, so Tangshan went to bed early.

In the young couple's room, Tang Xiaojing was massaging Ye Qingqing's calves, whose hands and feet were swollen.

Ye Qingqing's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and her calves were very swollen, and she would occasionally get cramps. She woke up several times at night with cramps in her calves.

Tang Xiaojing asked Doctor Li and Shopkeeper Wang whether drinking more bone soup would be better, but there was no way to avoid this situation, so Tang Xiaojing would massage Ye Qingqing's calves every night.

Just after pressing one leg, Ye Qingqing had already fallen asleep.

Tang Xiaojing relaxed his strength, gently pressed the other leg, and then fell asleep holding Ye Qingqing.

When the sky was still gray, Tangshan and his son had already gotten up.

After breakfast, Tang Xiaojing sent Ye Qingqing, who was still in a daze, to Ye's house, and then hurried out in a bullock cart.

When the father and son arrived at Stone Mountain, the long-term worker who sent the prey to the Liang Family Restaurant had just left.

Tang Xiaojing heard from other long-term workers that there were two wild goats and 10 hares in the trap today.

Tang Xiaojing suddenly patted his head and looked at Tangshan with regret:

"Sheepskin can be used to make leather. Sheepskin is larger than rabbit skin. Several sheepskins can be used to make a sheepskin coat."

Tang Xiaojing called all the long-term workers at home and specifically warned:

"From now on, if the skin of the prey caught in the trap is intact, peel it off and send it to the Liang Family Restaurant."

After removing the fur, rabbits and wild goats are pure meat. The prey is actually cheaper, and shopkeeper Liang probably won't care.

After talking about Pizi, the father and son walked up the mountain, but Dahuang and Xiaohuang had already gone to nowhere.

Autumn is the time for fattening, and the small animals on the mountain are quite plump. However, the father and son were thinking about gathering herbs and were not distracted by hunting.

But Dahuang and Xiaohuang were very powerful. When they were halfway up the mountain, two big guys suddenly jumped out, each holding a chubby rabbit in their mouths.

In addition to pheasants and hares, Tang Xiaojing saw many mature herbs on the road.

The father and son went up the mountain to collect herbs today. When they came across suitable herbs, Tang Xiaojing picked them all.

The two walked to the dense forest near the valley. The basket behind Tang Xiaojing was already half filled with herbs.

Niu Dali, Eucommia ulmoides, Angelica sinensis, Polygonum multiflorum and Polygonatum are all available, and many of them are quite old.

Half of these herbs were grown by Tang Xiaojing himself a few years ago, and the other half were wild herbs that were naturally raised.

Tangshan's backpack was also heavy. There were three hares and a pheasant in it, all of which were hunted by Rhubarb and Xiaohuang.

Every time he goes up the mountain, Tangshan has the illusion that their family seems to be supported by Dahuang and Xiaohuang.

Before entering the valley, the father and son first went to see the small wild ginseng in the dense forest.

It has been more than half a year since I found this wild ginseng. It has grown taller than when I first found it, and has three more leaves, but it still looks small.

Tang Xiaojing specially brought some fermented plant ash from home and sprinkled it evenly around the wild ginseng.

Then he dug some fertile mulch under another big tree and covered it tightly with the ashes of the vegetation.

Tang Xiaojing has a deep affection for this wild ginseng tree. This is the first wild ginseng tree they have discovered, which is a good start.

The two of them had just covered the soil with the mulch, when Da Huang and Xiao Huang anxiously urged the two of them on the stone hill.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

The father and son sped up their movements and soon climbed to the top of the stone hill.

On the top of Stone Mountain, there is a very good-looking Millet vine.

Like Dendrobium, Chicken Spatholobi will sprout again from the roots and grow new branches after being picked.

Originally, Tang Xiaojing planned to pick only half of it like dendrobium, but the Millet Spatholobus on the top of the rock was still too conspicuous, so he had to pick the whole tree.

After picking the Millaplasma vines, the father and son walked around the top of the stone valley again.

Tang Xiaojing found a few more profitable herbs in the cracks of the rocks. Although the price was not high, the mosquito legs were also meat, so he dug them up easily.

There are a total of 3 Millettia vines in the small valley. Except for the one on the top of the hill, the other two are in the valley.

Coming down from the stone hill, Tang Xiaojing led Tangshan to find two other Millipedes vines.

Tang Xiaojing did not directly pick the whole vine of the Millaplasma vine at the back, but cut off half of the branches.

Only half of it has been picked, but it will not affect the body of the Heliotrope. It will continue to grow and can be picked again in two years.

After picking the chicken blood vines, the baskets behind the two of them were filled to the brim.

The most valuable thing in this small valley is actually wild ginseng.

There are now three wild ginseng trees in the valley, one large and two small.

As soon as they got closer, they were surprised to find that a small seedling had grown from the roots of the large wild ginseng.

Although the little seedling was no taller than a finger and had only two leaves, from the texture of the leaves, the two of them could tell at a glance that it was a wild ginseng.

Looking at the little Miao Miao with only two leaves in front of him, Tang Xiaojing was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Shopkeeper Wang said that 50-year-old wild ginseng can be sold for 80 taels of silver. There are now 4 large, 5 small and [-] wild ginseng trees in Stone Mountain. If they all grow up, then-"

"That's 400 taels of silver." Tangshan followed Tang Xiaojing's words in a tacit understanding.

"Hahaha, we are going to get rich. With these wild ginseng trees, we will be able to marry our grandchildren in the future, not to mention our children."

Tangshan looked at the cute little seedlings in front of him and felt happy.

"Hahaha, this is indeed a geomantic treasure. Don't touch this big wild ginseng tree. Maybe it will grow new seedlings in a few years."

The two of them squatted in front of some wild ginseng trees and watched for a long time. They didn't get up to eat pancakes until they were hungry.

While eating pancakes, neither of them could bear to take their eyes off these wild ginseng trees.

After lunch, Tang Shan took out two sacks from the backpack behind him and handed one to Tang Xiaojing.

The father and son put everything in the backpack into a sack, and then started picking mushrooms.
