The happy little days of the Ye family

The place where the three of them were was in the center of the small valley, where the light was the best and the weeds grew more luxuriantly than elsewhere.

And this small piece of land is where the most herbs grow in the small valley.

On the left are seven or eight relatively old wild Polygonatum spp., all of which can be used as medicine.

However, Tang Xiaojing wants to plant more seeds for a few more years and sell them at a good price in the future.

When Tang Xiaojing was weeding, he was pleasantly surprised to find several small seedlings of Polygonatum japonica growing on the roots of these Polygonatum japonicas.

"Not bad, not bad. If you continue to plant these Polygonatum spp., you will save money on buying seeds."

A little further outside, there are a lot of Polygonatum and Gastrodia elata that the father and son planted last year.

The outermost ones are several valuable herbs planted this spring.

These planted herbs are very weak. They were blocked by weeds before and have never seen the sun. They don't look very energetic.

Tang Xiaojing looked up at Tangshan who was digging soil not far away and shouted:

"Dad, dig some mulch over here. The herbs here are growing listlessly."

"okay!"

The ones growing on the right are basically wild ginseng.

The most conspicuous thing is the wild ginseng tree that is about forty years old.

In addition, not far from the roots, there are four wild ginseng seedlings.

After Tang Xiaojing pulled out all the weeds nearby, he completely exposed several wild ginseng trees.

The largest wild ginseng is about 40 years old, as tall as Tang Xiaojing’s knees, and has a few unripe small red fruits on it.

There are four small seedlings scattered around the wild ginseng.

The two wild ginseng trees outside were already there when we discovered the valley. They are about five or six years old now, but they still look small.

The two seedlings with only a few leaves near the roots of wild ginseng just grew out at the beginning of this year.

These two small wild ginseng trees were blocked from the sun, lacked nutrients, and their leaves were a little withered and yellow.

Ye Qingqing came over and saw that another leaf fell from the already sparse leaves.

Looking at these two half-dead wild ginseng trees, Ye Qingqing was very worried. "Mr. Sir, these two small wild ginseng trees don't look very good."

"And since they are all growing together, there will definitely be no supply of fertilizer. Do you want to transplant them to a wider area?"

Tang Xiaojing thought about it and felt that it was indeed a bit crowded here. Not to mention the lack of fertilizer supply, even the sunlight was blocked.

The large wild ginseng blocks all the sunlight and probably takes away the fertilizer. The two small ones look malnourished at first glance.

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "We really need to move them, otherwise these two small trees may not be able to survive."

"Then my husband, please transplant them farther away. Maybe new wild ginseng will grow here next year."

Since this wild ginseng has seeds, it will definitely grow more and more in the future.

At this time, there was a gurgling sound not far away.

Tang Shan scratched his head in embarrassment and saw that the sun had already risen to the center. He looked at Ye Qingqing with a smile and suggested:

"Qingqing, I think it's getting late, why don't we make lunch first. When we came in, Da Huang and Xiao Huang also caught a hare and a pheasant."

When talking about lunch, Ye Qingqing thought of the lotus flowers she had picked just now, and was ready to try the roast chicken with lotus leaves mentioned in the storybook.

"There happened to be pheasants and hares, so we had lotus leaf roasted chicken and lotus leaf roasted rabbit for lunch."

"Okay, then I'll go take care of the rabbits and pheasants."

As he spoke, Tangshan picked up the pheasants and rabbits in the basket and took them to the spring for disposal.

"I'm going to collect firewood and light the fire first."

Ye Qingqing touched his flat belly, called Dahuang and Xiaohuang and went to collect firewood with cheerful steps.

As for Tang Xiaojing, he carefully dug up the two small seedlings at the roots of the wild ginseng.

It was difficult to feed the transplanted seedlings, so Tang Xiaojing dug deeper and dug up a large pile of soil.

Tang Xiaojing worked very hard. He asked shopkeeper Wang to find out that wild ginseng has seeds. If it is taken care of properly, several small ones can be found in a year.

Tang Xiaojing thought that if a few more years passed, there might be many small wild ginseng seedlings growing around.

With the large wild ginseng in the center, about a step away, there are two wild ginseng trees that are about five or six years old.

About two steps further out, there were the two young seedlings that had just grown this year that he had just transplanted.

On the left side, there are Polygonatum japonica and other herbs. The small wild ginseng discovered today grows on the outermost edge of Polygonatum odoratum.

Stone Mountain originally had one large and four small trees, a total of 5 wild ginseng trees.

Including the one discovered today, there are 6 wild ginsengs in this valley.

The more Tang Xiaojing thought about it, the happier he became.

After the seedlings were transplanted, Tang Xiaojing moved the mulch that had been dug in Tangshan just now and covered all the herbs with a thick layer.

Especially the two wild ginseng seedlings that were just transplanted, the mulch at the roots has bulged into a small bag.

Tang Xiaojing looked at these wild ginseng and felt very hot in his heart. If one or two new seedlings can grow every year, their family will be rich!

Not far away, Ye Qingqing had already lit the fire, and together with Tang Shan, rubbed salt and spices on the pheasants and hares.

These salts and spices were specially brought from home in Tangshan. Every time the father and son went to the mountains, he would bring them with him to make roasted chicken.

Ye Qingqing also collected some gallinophilia and stuffed them into the bellies of pheasants and hares.

After applying the spices, Ye Qingqing wrapped them separately in lotus leaves, and then wrapped them in a thick layer of mud.

Finally, they are buried in charcoal fire and roasted slowly.

While the pheasants and rabbits were still roasting, Ye Qingqing took out the egg pancakes made in the morning and put them on the fire to roast slowly.

After a busy morning in Tangshan, I couldn't help but drool when I smelled the aroma of pancakes.

Without waiting for the roasted chicken, I directly took a pancake and started eating it.

Seeing Tang Xiaojing wash his hands and come over, Ye Qingqing handed him a fragrant egg pancake.

When Rhubarb and Little Huang smelled the smell, they also got out of the grass and ran over to beg for pancakes.

There was a big meal later, so the three of them stopped after eating half full, and the remaining pancakes were all given to Dahuang and Xiaohuang.

Not long after, the smell of meat finally came out through the mud.

Tang Xiaojing came closer to the fire and smelled it, "It smells like lotus leaves, and it smells quite fragrant."

Ye Qingqing looked at the two big balls that were already dry and cracked in the fire, and was about to move. When he was about to take action, he was stopped by Tang Shan on the side.

"The outside is covered with so much mud, I think the inside is not yet cooked yet. Let's bake it for a while."

The smell of roasted chicken is getting stronger and stronger, and it is also mixed with the aroma of chicken fungus and lotus leaves, which smells particularly attractive.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

Big Yellow and Little Yellow beside them screamed anxiously, and the ground was wet with their saliva.

Tang Shan smelled the smell and thought it was almost done, so he and Tang Xiaojing got out the two mud balls.

The mud on the outside was so dry that it cracked with a gentle tap, and a rich fragrance wafted from the inside.

The fragrance kept entering Ye Qingqing's little nose, "It smells so good! You can tell it's delicious just by smelling it."

"Ouch!"

What responded to her was Dahuang's anxious cry.
