The happy little days of the Ye family

The mushrooms in the small valley have not been picked for several months.

Coupled with the abundant rainfall in spring and summer, the ground is covered with all kinds of bright and beautiful mushrooms.

Not only that, the small valley is relatively humid. Looking around, many tree trunks are covered with thick black fungus.

Ye Qingqing's sharp eyes saw that there were a lot of morels and gallinomas around, and they were quite big.

Seeing so many mushrooms, Ye Qingqing suddenly burst into laughter.

"Dad, sir, you go check out the herbs first, and I'll go pick mushrooms."

Tang Xiaojing, who was pulling weeds, raised his head and warned her worriedly.

"Okay, please pay attention to safety and call Da Huang and Xiao Huang."

"Big Huang and Xiao Huang are gone, let's go pick mushrooms." Ye Qingqing happily called to the two dogs.

Big Yellow and Little Yellow were very smart. When they heard their names, they immediately emerged from the grass excitedly, wagging their heads towards Ye Qingqing.

Rhubarb pounced directly on Ye Qingqing. It was heavier than Ye Qingqing and almost knocked Ye Qingqing down.

One person and two dogs were happily picking mushrooms around.

Unfortunately, the two big guys were so excited that they trampled several red mushrooms and a morel mushroom in succession, making Ye Qingqing very angry.

"Big yellow and little yellow!! Don't cause trouble, you are trampling on my mushrooms, and there will be no meat to eat when we go back."

Tang Xiaojing couldn't help but laugh when he heard Ye Qingqing scolding the two dogs like scolding children.

Russulas, morels, and gallinaceous mushrooms, Ye Qingqing picked all the expensive mushrooms.

Mushrooms were everywhere, and Ye Qingqing felt a little dizzy. Common straw mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and aeruginosa were no longer visible to her.

Mushrooms came one after another, and Ye Qingqing was as happy as a little mouse dropped in a rice vat. It took only a quarter of an hour to pick half of the basket.

Not far away, Tangshan and Tang Xiaojing were not in such a good mood.

When I came here last time, the Polygonatum and Gastrodia elata grown before were growing very well.

Unexpectedly, after not coming here for several months, the place was overgrown with weeds and almost no trace of the herbs could be found.

Seeing this scene, Tang Xiaojing couldn't help but think of the first soybean grown at home after returning to the village. The grass is full of beans and the bean sprouts are sparse. The mice shake their heads when they see it.

Weeds that grow freely grow much better than planted herbs.

Based on their impressions, the father and son went to the place where the herbs were grown, rolled up their sleeves and started pulling weeds.

As soon as he pulled out a few small ones, Tang Xiaojing looked up and saw several tall weeds like small trees.

Just as Tang Xiaojing was about to pull it out, he suddenly remembered that he had brought a small hoe. Using a hoe was not much faster than pulling it out with his hands.

"Dad, don't pull it out with your hands. Use a hoe to dig it out. It's faster that way."

Seeing Tang Xiaojing take out the hoe, Tangshan quickly stopped him.

"No, no, there are herbs growing next to it. The hoe is very powerful, so don't dig up all the herbs next to it. It's better to pull them out."

Unable to use a hoe, the two had to slowly pull it out with their hands.

Fortunately, the father and son worked often, and their hands were covered with calluses, so they didn't feel much when they pulled the grass out.

If Ye Qingqing were to come, his hands would probably be red before he could pull out two trees.

Tangshan didn't know all the herbal medicines yet, and he was afraid that the herbs would be pulled out as weeds, so he suggested:

"Let's do this. Let's divide the work and work together. You are responsible for pulling out the weeds near the herbs, and I will dig out the mulch under the nearby trees."

"Herbs have been deprived of nutrients by weeds, and they grow weak. It's time to fertilize, otherwise they won't grow well."

Tang Xiaojing smiled and joked: "Okay, I'm afraid you'll pull out the herbs."

Tangshan could see that he was looking so mean, so he kicked him before turning around.

There are many towering trees growing nearby. The fallen leaves under the trees are very thick, and many of them are rotten.

Tangshan used a hoe to sweep away the fallen leaves, revealing the deep black soil underneath.

The soil here is obviously much more fertile than outside the valley. Just after digging with a hoe for two times, I saw two particularly fat earthworms wriggling in the soil.

"This soil is really good. If you use it to grow food, the harvest will be good."

Tangshan grinned, raised the hoe high, and soon came back with a sack full of mulch.

At this time, Tang Xiaojing also pulled out all the weeds around the herbs, including the young seedlings that had just emerged.

The father and son worked together to cover all the thin herb seedlings with a thick layer of mulch.

This small valley is not big. In about half an hour, Ye Qingqing came back to find them after picking mushrooms.

Ye Qingqing had a great harvest, and the basket on his back was full of delicious and valuable red mushrooms, morels and gallinaceous mushrooms.

He was also holding a large sack in his hand, which contained half a bag of miscellaneous mushrooms, including straw mushrooms, aeruginosa, porcini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms and black fungus.

Black fungus accounts for nearly half of it. Ye Qingqing plans to go back and dry it before making buns filled with fungus and egg.

She was still thinking about her good sister Qingmei's fondness for eating fungus, and wanted to send some to her when she returned.

When Ye Qingqing came over with Dahuang and Xiaohuang, the father and son had only sorted half of the herbs.

After putting the mushrooms away, Ye Qingqing came over with a small hoe to help.

You can't use a hoe where the herbs grow, so Ye Qingqing removes all the weeds around the herbs.

In fact, Ye Qingqing felt that these weeds would probably grow back in a few days, but he couldn't ignore them, which was really distressing.

The three of them worked together and the speed was much faster. Unknowingly, we came to a place where wild ginseng grows.

Tang Xiaojing was pulling weeds when he suddenly found a familiar grass seedling not far from the wild ginseng.

Although the little seedling was no taller than his finger, it could be seen from the few leaves that it was a wild ginseng.

"Dad, Qingqing, you are rich! Another wild ginseng seedling has grown."

"Where where?"

When he heard that there were newly grown wild ginseng seedlings, Ye Qingqing threw the hoe in his hand and ran over.

Tang Xiaojing smiled happily while Ye Qingqing pointed at the small seedling with only three leaves in front of him.

"Here, there are only three leaves growing now. At first I thought they were weeds, but I almost pulled them out."

Ye Qingqing squatted and stared intently at the wild ginseng seedlings in front of him.

"That's great. Let's take a look around. Maybe there are other wild ginseng seedlings."

"Yes, yes, I'll look for it again." Tang Xiaojing picked it up again.

There is no way, these weeds have grown so well that you can't even see if there are any treasures growing underneath them unless they are pulled out.

At this time Tangshan also came over, "This small seedling is quite far away from the big wild ginseng. Why does it grow here?"

Tang Xiaojing was pulling weeds hard and said casually:

"Maybe the seeds were blown here by the wind."

However, everyone did not dwell too much on this issue. They were all working hard to pull weeds, and their eyes were not letting go of any small grass seedling.

Trying to find one more wild ginseng seedling inside.
