Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

The two strolled leisurely in the backyard for a while, enjoying this rare quiet and warm time.

After enjoying the fun of riding the donkey cart, the brother and sister still chose to go up the mountain.

Gu Yan was always very doting on his sister's willful requests. He comforted her, "Don't worry, we only need to pick 700 kilograms of fruit today. My second uncle and my brother have already gone to pick them."

"That's great!" Gu Qingzhi nodded happily.

It's easier to get things done when there are more people.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yan suggested, "We didn't have time to check the traps yesterday, so we can take this opportunity to stop by and take a look. If we can catch some prey, we can collect it in time."

Gu Qingzhi thought about it and agreed, realizing that this was exactly the case.

Gu Yan changed direction and led Gu Qingzhi to climb the Dongfeng Mountains from the other side.

Traps are always set in places where there are few people, otherwise they may hurt people by mistake.

The mountain road was rugged and narrow. Gu Yan held Gu Qingzhi's hand tightly and led her forward carefully.

The two walked one after the other on the narrow path.

Although the journey was a bit tortuous, the brother and sister really enjoyed the moment.

Suddenly, Gu Qingzhi cried out "Ouch!" It turned out that her hat accidentally fell on the bushes next to her.

Hearing Gu Qingzhi's soft cry, Gu Yan quickly turned around, held her little hand tightly and asked nervously,

"Qingqing, what's wrong?"

Gu Qingzhi pointed to the hat that fell on the bushes and said in a soft voice, "Brother, my hat fell there."

Seeing this, Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It was just the hat. He patiently comforted her, "It's okay, Qingqing. Wait here for a moment. I'll go pick up the hat."

This? No need, it's only a dozen steps.

Gu Qingzhi quickly shook her head and said with a smile, "No need, brother, let's go together. It's not far, just a dozen steps away."

Gu Yan had no choice but to nod in agreement after pondering for a moment.

So the brother and sister walked towards the bushes together.

Gu Yan carefully pushed aside the bushes and was about to pick up his hat when he suddenly heard Gu Qingzhi's exclamation from behind him: "Brother, come and see!"

Gu Yan turned his head and looked in the direction of Gu Qingzhi's finger, and was surprised to find that there was a small patch of green plants growing not far behind the bushes!

As Gu Yan has been concentrating on studying medical books recently, he has a certain understanding of various medicinal materials. At this moment, his eyes are flashing with excitement. It turns out to be medicinal materials?

"Is this... Astragalus?" He narrowed his eyes slightly and confirmed with Gu Qingzhi.

After careful identification, Gu Qingzhi also confirmed excitedly: "Yes, brother, that's right, this is indeed Astragalus."

Excited, Gu Yan quickly cut a path in the bushes so that Gu Qingzhi could pass through and better observe the astragalus.

The two men squatted in front of the Astragalus bush, carefully observing the growth of these medicinal herbs.

"I didn't expect there would be a patch of Astragalus here." Gu Yan said with emotion, "I often passed by here before but never found it."

After all, this is all thanks to my sister's good luck.

"Well, brother, Astragalus is a good thing. It can be used as medicine to treat many diseases." Gu Qingzhi also reached out and touched the leaves of Astragalus curiously.

"Brother, let's be gentle and dig them back, but be careful not to break them and damage the astragalus."

Gu Qingzhi said this with a hint of regret, regretting that she had forgotten to bring her beloved little medicine hoe with her when she went out.

Gu Yan nodded slightly.

Then, without hesitation, he squatted down and started digging with a machete.

Astragalus grows in loose sandy soil.

Gu Yan skillfully loosened the sand with a machete, thus avoiding pulling or tearing the astragalus with direct force, thus reducing damage.

Gu Yan easily dug up most of the surrounding sand.

After digging up the sand, in order to maintain the integrity and appearance of the astragalus, avoid scratching or damaging the root bark, and ensure the quality and efficacy of the astragalus, he simply dug it with his hands.

Because he felt sorry for his sister's delicate hands, he was unwilling to let her do such heavy work.

However, how could Gu Qingzhi just stand by and watch?

She was determined not to see her brother busying himself alone.

Why would Gu Yan be willing to hurt her little hand?

In desperation, he found a wooden stick, sharpened one end of it, and handed it to Gu Qingzhi, asking her to use this tool to help dig.

The brother and sister worked together and dug hard.

Surprisingly, this kind of cooperation has really improved efficiency.

After a long time, they finally successfully completed the excavation of the entire Astragalus area.

Of course, for those smaller Astragalus plants, they did not rush to dig them up, but chose to let them continue to grow.

This can ensure the sustainability of medicinal resources and avoid over-exploitation of medicinal materials.

Of course, Gu Qingzhi was not worried that someone would come and steal these treasures.

Firstly, this place is very secluded and most villagers are not familiar with this herb; secondly, the villagers' daily activities seldom extend here.

However, even if someone really dug up these astragalus, it doesn’t matter.

They have had a good harvest today. They have harvested more than thirty or forty kilograms of Astragalus from the field in front of them!

Before this, Gu Qingzhi had never tried to prepare Astragalus, but she planned to stop by Ren'aitang and ask Manager Li about the price when she went to the county town later.

According to her estimation, the value of these astragalus should be very high.

The wild chrysanthemums that she had hung out to dry were purchased by Manager Li at the price of 50 coins per pound.

And the astragalus that has been carefully processed will definitely be more valuable than these wild chrysanthemums.

So next time, she must find out more about the market conditions and prices of common medicinal materials, so that she can have a better idea of ​​them.

After the two worked together to dig out the astragalus, they also carried out preliminary processing and sorting of the astragalus.

They remove the dirt and impurities from the astragalus to ensure that it is clean and tidy.

Gu Yan looked around and came up with a plan in mind.

He came back and put the astragalus in the backpack, then he carried the backpack and said to Gu Qingzhi, "Qingqing, I'm going to take you somewhere."

Soon, they came to a nearby open space.

"Qingqing, do you think this is a good place to dry Astragalus?"

The sun is shining and the air is fresh here, making it a perfect place to dry medicinal herbs.

Gu Qingzhi nodded repeatedly, "Brother, it's OK. How about we put the astragalus here to dry first?"

Her brother was so thoughtful, she hadn't even thought of it.

Gu Yan nodded slightly, took out the astragalus from the basket and placed it on the open ground to dry.
