Chapter 31 Digging Wild Ginseng at Dongfeng Mountain

The half-grown children in the village are unable to do farm work, and now is not the busy farming season. For them, it is a great thing to be able to pick some mountain products in exchange for some money and snacks.

Gu Qingzhi knew that she had to hurry up. After all, these were gifts from the mountains and everyone could pick them.

Opportunity waits for no one. Only the one you pick the fruits of your labor sooner will own them.

She picked them carefully and only those that were well preserved could be sold at a high price.

Gu Qingzhi wore the cotton gloves made by her mother, picked up a pair of sharp scissors, carefully cut a bunch of grapes and put them into the basket on the ground.

Bunches of fresh wild grapes, covered with dew and exuding a faint grape aroma, were stacked in baskets.

Soon, she entered a state of selfless work.

Gu Yan originally wanted to stay and help, but seeing that his sister's movements were much more skillful than yesterday, he was very relieved and knew that there was no need for him to stay.

Although he had not been to Dongfeng Mountain very often, he was cautious by nature. Whenever he arrived at a place, he would first familiarize himself with the area. Therefore, he was actually very familiar with this place. In addition, Dongfeng Mountain was very popular, and there were no poisonous snakes here like in Xizi Mountain, so he could feel a little more at ease.

However, he still checked around first to make sure everything was alright before quickening his pace and running towards the persimmon forest.

Try to pick as many persimmons as you can.

Now the wild persimmons on the branches have matured one after another, and they will not stay there for long. If they are not picked, they will rot on the trees. Moreover, the ripe persimmons are actually very attractive to birds, and he has to compete with the birds for food, which is not an easy task.

As he walked, he was thinking that the skin of ripe persimmons was rather fragile and would go bad with a slight knock, but only those that looked intact would be bought by people, so he had to think of a way to preserve them. As for how to preserve them, he had been thinking about it all night yesterday and would try it soon.

The brother and sister each performed their duties and picked fruits silently. For a while, the mountain returned to silence.

I don’t know how long it took.

Gu Yan walked over to Gu Qingzhi carrying a load of wild persimmons. He put down the pole and whispered, "Qingqing, I'll carry these baskets of persimmons down to the foot of the mountain first, and then come up to carry the grapes."

Gu Qingzhi put down the scissors and walked over to take a look. Wow, two large baskets of bright red wild persimmons exuding a faint persimmon fragrance, they looked delicious.

She couldn't help swallowing.

Gu Yan was a little amused, "Want to eat?"

Yes, he had picked persimmons for his sister yesterday, but he sold them all. Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, so he picked two big red tomatoes from the basket and handed them to her, saying softly, "Here, eat them."

Uh? She, well, she wanted to eat, but not at this time, she had to pick more grapes.

Looking at the basket next to me, I realized I had only picked two baskets.

My brother is so capable. He picked so many persimmons in such a short time.

She still has to work harder.

Then he waved his hand and said, "I won't eat it yet. I'd better pick a few more bunches of grapes. If you want to eat more, there will be plenty later."

Gu Yan thought about it and decided not to force it anymore and put the persimmon back.

Yes, if my sister wants to eat it, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I will just give it to her on the way.

Gu Yan carried the load back and forth four times, each time carrying 100 kilograms down the mountain. On the last trip, Gu Qingzhi also followed him down the mountain carrying a small backpack.

The time is almost up. They have to reach the county town at noon and cannot delay any longer.

On the way, Gu Qingzhi suddenly found that the red berries under a tree looked familiar.

She walked forward doubtfully, and after seeing it clearly, she opened her eyes wide with excitement, "Brother, brother, come and see."

Gu Yan didn't know why his sister was suddenly so excited, so he put down the carrying pole and walked over.

I saw Gu Qingzhi staring at a plant with red berries.

What was this that made my sister so excited?

He also imitated Gu Qingzhi, but before he could open his mouth, Gu Qingzhi had already finished the comparison, as expected!

"Brother, this is wild ginseng!"

Gu Yan was shocked, wild ginseng!

He looked at it carefully again and again, and indeed, the leaves and berries of the wild ginseng were very similar to the ones described in the book.

Although he couldn't be completely sure, and he didn't know why his sister was so sure, he definitely couldn't let it go if he saw it.

Whether it is true or not, you will know after digging it out and taking a look.

"Brother, let's dig it out!"

Gu Yan had the same idea.

So, the two young and fearless people just started digging.

If those professional forest diggers knew about this, they would cry to death. This is simply too rude!

The two were very lucky and they managed to dig out the wild ginseng in less than half an hour.

Gu Qingzhi looked carefully at the ginseng's head and stem. Based on her knowledge of wild ginseng in her previous life, she estimated that this wild ginseng was several decades old.

Generally speaking, the older the wild ginseng is, the better its medicinal effect is. Usually, the longer the reed head, the more reed bowls there are, and the deeper the lines are, the older it is.

The longer it survives, the more it accumulates the essence of the sun and the moon and becomes more precious.

Gu Yan didn't expect that this was actually a wild ginseng. He looked at Gu Qingzhi with amazement. He had never heard of anyone digging ginseng on Dongfeng Mountain since he was a child. Qingqing was the first one!

"Qingqing, please put it away." Gu Yan handed the wrapped wild ginseng to Gu Qingzhi. This was found by his sister, so it should belong to her.

Gu Qingzhi thought about it, took it, and left it with her for the time being.

Wild ginseng has great benefits for the body. It can nourish yin and moisten the lungs, benefit the stomach and produce body fluids, and strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach.

It is very suitable for Gu Yan who is in poor health.

The brother and sister continued on their way.

Soon, the two of them took great pains to carry down all the fruits they had picked in the morning. "Qingqing, stay here. I'll go pick some of the pecans and chestnuts I picked earlier.

When Gu Yan came over with a few more loads of chestnuts, he saw Gu Qingzhi waving at him from afar, "Brother, brother!"

Seeing that beautiful smile, Gu Yan's originally somewhat tired body was swept away at this moment, and he felt full of strength. He couldn't help but grin and smile at her.

When she got closer, she realized that Gu Qingzhi was smiling too beautifully. She jumped up to her and said, "Brother, look, what is this?"

She lifted a piece of sackcloth and found two pheasants in the basket, which seemed to be alive!

This? He looked at Gu Qingzhi, "Where did it come from?" He remembered that it was not there when he left just now.

"I don't know where they came from. I was just kicking stones here out of boredom when I heard some noise over there in the bushes, so I kicked a few stones into the bushes, and then I went over and found these two pheasants."

Gu Qingzhi smiled happily, what a pleasant surprise!

"..."Gu Yan.

Although this is unbelievable, the two pheasants in front of us are facts.
