Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!
Chapter 315: There is Ginseng
"Aunt, do you practice martial arts?" Liu Meilan asked curiously. There are very few women who can still have such abundant energy and blood at the age of 58.
My aunt's job is also very prestigious.
The leader of the armed forces, who retired from the army, has real kung fu skills.
My aunt smiled and said, "Yes, Meilan, if you want to practice martial arts, I can teach you!"
Liu Meilan nodded, "Okay, teach me some self-defense moves. It's too difficult to start from scratch at my age."
"Okay, I'll teach you and the kids in a little while." Aunt smiled and looked Liu Meilan up and down. "Good kid, be good in the future."
The words are simple, but sincere.
My second aunt, second uncle, and Liu Meilan were cooking, and Professor Xie was telling the story in detail to my eldest brother and sister-in-law.
They feel sad for the suffering Liu Meilan has endured, but are also proud of her current achievements.
The fish stew in the evening tastes very good. (Picture)
My second aunt also made sweet and sour pork, which is similar to the lychee meat in the south, and tastes sweet and sour. (Picture)
There was also a dish called fried mushrooms, which was so delicious that Liu Meilan almost swallowed her tongue. (Photo)
After dinner, the aunt kept her word and taught Liu Meilan some self-protection moves and how to untie the rope.
These are all very practical. If you are kidnapped someday, you might find them useful.
At night, Liu Meilan and Professor Xie lay on a spacious kang covered with a mat. A breeze blew in from the window, blowing away the heat and bringing coolness.
"It is said that children with mothers are like treasures. Mom feels very relaxed in front of grandma." Liu Meilan said softly, "Mom, I will accompany you here every year in the future. I can even accompany you during the Chinese New Year."
Professor Xie closed his eyes and chuckled, "Yes, a child with a mother is like a treasure. Meilan is also her mother's treasure. Just come every summer vacation. After all, I have a family too. I can't just take care of my mother's family and ignore my husband's family."
Hearing this, Liu Meilan was thoughtful, "Mom, in a family, it has always been said that men are the backbone of the family, but after a woman gets married, she is divided into two."
"She is a daughter and also a wife. Half of her is from her parents' home and half is from her husband's home. After the child is born, the focus of my life becomes my own little family. This kind of change is very tangled and it is difficult to choose, right?"
The deep-seated family ethics are thought-provoking.
Professor Xie took a few deep breaths and then slowly said, "Yes, it took me a long time to adjust before I gradually found my balance. People are actually practicing in this life. If you want everything, you often get nothing."
"You can only gain if you give up something, so you must find the focus of life instead of trying to do everything at once. Your grandma and grandpa miss me, your aunt, your uncle, but they also have your uncles around them."
"They have children and are happy in their old age. We brothers and sisters have a good relationship now, which actually proves the saying that things far away smell good while things close by stink. Some brothers and sisters have many brothers and sisters, but when they get together, they fight over their heads."
"After all, there are only so many resources in the family, and everyone wants more. This will lead to conflicts, making it difficult for parents and causing discord among brothers and sisters. But if you think about it this way, there is also a good side. Everything has two sides, and you can't just see the bad side and ignore the good side."
Liu Meilan suddenly understood, "That's right! Mom, you see, we have relatives in Inner Mongolia, Xi'an, and Yunnan. If I marry Fu Chen in the future, we will also have connections in Beijing, which is amazing!"
Professor Xie smiled and said, "Yes, if it weren't for your aunt and uncle, I might never have gone to such a far place in my life."
The mother and daughter talked a lot and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, the big rooster jumped onto the roof with a proud and heroic look and began to crow non-stop.
From time to time, there are the sounds of birds, which are clear and pleasant.
Feeling the environment different from that of Sifang Island, Liu Meilan slowly opened her eyes.
She turned over and found that she was the only one in the room.
After Liu Meilan changed her clothes, she saw Professor Xie and her aunt running in the yard with a towel around their necks.
Grandma Xie and Grandpa Xie were taking a walk, and my eldest uncle, second uncle, and second aunt were also doing their favorite fitness exercises.
Even children like Xie Yuting were practicing martial arts with a humming and hawing!
No wonder the Xie family is in good physical condition. As long as conditions permit, they will consciously insist on exercising.
Liu Meilan brushed her teeth and washed her face, then started running.
Otherwise, she would seem unsociable and a bit lazy.
My second aunt ran over and asked, "Meilan, what do you want to eat for breakfast?"
Liu Meilan blinked her eyes. "Everything my second aunt cooks is delicious! But I saw you frying fruit graters last night. Can you make pancakes?"
Second Aunt reached out and pinched Liu Meilan's chubby face, and said with a smile: "Yesterday I saw you staring at the fruit rack for a while, and I knew you wanted to eat pancakes. I have already soaked the mung beans and other ingredients last night, come and help grind the batter."
Liu Meilan nodded repeatedly, "I'm good at this!"
Second aunt took out the small stone mill and cleaned it, "Meilan, let's get started!"
After demonstrating, my second aunt handed the job over to Liu Meilan.
As a little master at work, Liu Meilan can do this job with ease.
Xie Yuting and Xie Yujun came over to help, and soon they had ground a small basin of rice, enough for today's breakfast.
My second aunt was very quick and skillful in preparing eggs, sauces, ham, sausage, fruit graters and other ingredients.
The griddle has been set up on the stove for making pancakes.
My second aunt is very quick and can make a pancake in two minutes on average.
The corn porridge cooked in a big pot and served with pancakes is absolutely delicious.
Simple, but really delicious.
Some of the children ate half one, while others ate the whole one.
The adults would eat at most one, and the two elderly people would eat half one.
It is not surprising that Liu Yibang, a young adult male, ate two.
Liu Meilan ate two such big pancakes directly, and her little mouth never stopped eating from the beginning.
My second aunt is usually in charge of the housework and meals at home, but there are only her, her husband, her parents-in-law, and their children and grandchildren at home, all in the city.
She has all kinds of cooking skills, but there are not many people in her family and they don't eat much, so she can't show off her skills.
With Liu Meilan's support, the children stopped being picky about food, and my second aunt instantly found her passion for making delicious food.
"Meilan, tell your second aunt what you want to eat." The second aunt smiled, looking very happy.
Liu Meilan nodded, "I will definitely not be polite to my aunt."
After dinner, Uncle Xie wanted to go to the ginseng field in the forest farm.
"Uncle, can I go with you?" Liu Meilan asked, "I want to pick mushrooms!"
Uncle Xie had to make arrangements for his niece's request, "Change into old clothes, otherwise your clothes will get dirty and torn."
Liu Meilan waved her hand, "No, I have other clothes."
It’s not that she doesn’t want to change her old clothes. It seems that the Xie family members are all very tall and they don’t have any old clothes that are suitable for Liu Meilan.
Professor Xie just wanted to accompany his parents and didn't want to go anywhere. "Yibang, you follow them and don't let your sister run around."
"Oh!" Liu Yibang smiled. If he doesn't let Meilan run around, then she won't run around?
I can’t control it, and I don’t want to control it!
The group got into Uncle Xie's tractor.
The tractor made such a loud noise that Liu Meilan felt her ears were buzzing.
To divert her attention, she looked away.
It took them about forty minutes to arrive, and even though the tractor had stopped, Liu Meilan felt as if the sound had not disappeared yet.
Seeing the somewhat confused Liu Meilan, Liu Yibang reached out and pulled her curly hair, "We've gotten off the bus, but you're still confused?"
Liu Meilan shook her head. "I never thought that I would get seasick, but I get tractor sick."
When she stood on the ground with her feet, Liu Meilan still felt dizzy.
Liu Yibang laughed, "It turns out that you are not omnipotent!"
"Third brother, you have no sympathy!" Liu Meilan rolled her eyes, "I'm not Superman, how can I be omnipotent?"
Uncle Xie asked with concern: "Meilan, are you feeling better?"
"Okay, uncle." Liu Meilan took a few deep breaths and recovered. "Today I want to be a mushroom picking girl!"
Uncle Xie reminded, "Meilan, when you walk, be careful not to step on the ginseng."
"Ah?" Liu Meilan was stunned. "Uncle, there is ginseng here?"
Uncle Xie replied: "In the contracted forest, we scattered some ginseng seeds in some places, and it is ginseng under the forest." (Picture)
"Ah?" Liu Meilan was startled. "Uncle, that's ginseng? Aren't you afraid of it being stolen?"
Second Uncle Xie smiled and said, "The forest is so big, maybe no one knows about it. Besides, the ginseng grown under the forest is young and worthless!"
"I haven't been planting here for long. Maybe in a few years, I will have to strengthen the management. There is no need now!"
Liu Meilan suddenly realized and asked, "Second Uncle, is there any wild ginseng in your forest? I used to watch TV dramas and often saw 100-year-old ginseng and 1,000-year-old ginseng. Is there any here?"
Hearing this, Second Uncle Xie shook his head and laughed, "Thousand-year-old ginseng, that's only in TV dramas, who has ever seen it? Forget about hundred-year-old ginseng, nowadays it's good to have thirty-year-old wild ginseng!"
Liu Meilan blinked her eyes. Her special powers were useful in the ocean, but would they be useful in the woods?
Liu Meilan began to try.
This test immediately surprised Liu Meilan!
Seeing her gaze, the detection range is the same as in the ocean, and she can see everything within a thousand meters.
For example, now she found some very small ginseng, there are a lot of them, growing in the corners.
These should be the ginseng seeds sown by my uncle, which have become forest ginseng.
"So that's how it is, Second Uncle, then take us in to have a look!"
Second Uncle Xie took out some strips of cloth and gave two to each person. "There are more snakes, insects, rats and ants in the summer, so you should tie up your trouser legs."
Liu Meilan and others did as they were told, and each of them was given a bamboo pole.
Uncle Xie walked in front with a bamboo pole. He knocked on the ground to make sure there were no snakes before passing through.
There were few mushrooms at the edge, so they walked inside.
Because he was with the children, Uncle Xie didn't dare to go too far inside and took the children to where there were more mushrooms.
Liu Meilan's mind was no longer on mushrooms; she began searching for ginseng.
However, contrary to expectations, there was no wild ginseng of high age nearby.
Liu Meilan was a little bored, but when she saw a lot of hazel mushrooms and thought of the deliciousness of chicken stewed with mushrooms, she couldn't help drooling.
The little girl who picked mushrooms has become the Big Bad Wolf today, and she wants to pick a lot of mushrooms.
This stuff is really delicious, especially when it is wild.
Uncle Xie was surprised to see Liu Meilan picking mushrooms very quickly. "Meilan, did you often pick mushrooms before?"
Liu Meilan shook her head. "Not really, but I often sort fish and am used to doing this job. This is easy for me."
Picking mushrooms is not difficult, but finding hazel mushrooms is difficult.
Soon, Liu Meilan picked a basket of fruits. "Third brother, you carry it. Give me your basket."
Liu Yibang saw that Liu Meilan's basket was full, while his basket was less than a quarter full.
This is the difference!
Liu Meilan had a cheat and found that hazel mushrooms and black fungus were abundant in many places, so she picked a lot.
Crash.
There was the sound of flowing water in a stream nearby, so Liu Meilan accidentally went to investigate.
There was nothing unusual below the stream, at most a few wild rabbits and pheasants drinking water.
Kelin Creek follows the creek and explores upwards.
Three hundred meters upward and diagonally, several ginseng plants grew in the gaps between some large rocks.
From the exposed position, Liu Meilan felt that it was much larger than those ginsengs grown under the forest.
Liu Meilan could feel that these ginsengs were of considerable age.
Get rich!
Liu Meilan did not pick hazel mushrooms, but walked upstream in the stream.
"Meilan, there are fewer mushrooms over there and more over here." Uncle Xie started to remind his niece when he saw her running away.
Liu Meilan certainly didn't want to miss these ginsengs. "Uncle, I'm just strolling around. You don't have to worry about me."
The children like Liu Meilan and follow her like her little tail.
Liu Yibang and Uncle Xie were worried, so they could only follow and had no time to pick mushrooms.
Maybe because it is close to the stream and relatively humid, there are a lot of black fungus, and Liu Yibang picked quite a few.
The children were exhausted and panting. Xie Yuting asked, "Aunt Meilan, what are you looking for?"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Of course I have to find something good!"
Although the straight-line distance is not far, it is actually quite a long climb and takes about half an hour to get there.
The children were so tired and out of breath that they sat on a big rock to rest.
Liu Meilan took a short rest and continued to climb.
No wonder no one comes here. Even if you get up there, you can’t see the ginseng unless you look inside.
However, the person he met this time was Liu Meilan, who had a cheat, and no matter how well she hid it, it couldn't be hidden.
"Uncle, come quickly." Liu Meilan waved, very surprised, "There are good things here!"
Uncle Xie was surprised. That place was very high and few people went there. What good things could there be?
But since his niece has said so, Uncle Xie is happy to go and take a look.
Second Uncle Xie walks in the fields and woods all year round. Although he is older than Liu Yibang, he is faster than Liu Yibang.
Soon, Uncle Xie came down, climbed onto the big rock, and looked in the direction Liu Meilan pointed.
Seeing this, Second Uncle Xie was shocked. "Oh my god? Ginseng! How can there be such a big ginseng here?"
"Uncle, there's one here, and there's another over there!" Liu Meilan pointed to another crack between the rocks. "There are several here, Uncle, did you plant them?"
Uncle Xie shook his head repeatedly, "How could I think of growing ginseng here? This is wild, and the quality is different."
"Uncle, how old are these ginsengs?" Liu Meilan asked, "How effective are they?"
Uncle Xie replied: "Of course the older the ginseng is, the better the medicinal effect. In my experience, these ginsengs are at least fifty years old. The two larger ones are at least a hundred years old."
Liu Meilan blinked her eyes and expressed her inner request, "Second uncle, can we not sell these two hundred-year-old ginsengs? One for my grandparents and one for my grandfather. The rest can be given to you, second uncle, how about that?"
