Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!
Chapter 321: 72 is ginseng, 82 is treasure
Liu Meilan learns quickly, and Uncle Xie feels particularly accomplished.
Today's harvest was particularly great, and Uncle Xie finally enjoyed the long-lost joy of mountain running.
Although forest resources have been exploited too aggressively, many things are no longer as plentiful as before.
But today, he is very happy.
"Uncle, there are more over there!" Liu Meilan pointed to a forest not far away, where there were Ganoderma lucidum among the weeds.
Uncle Xie sorted out the Ganoderma lucidum he had just dug and looked over. "Meilan, we are so lucky today. We found a Ganoderma lucidum nest!"
"Uncle, what kind of Ganoderma lucidum is this?" Liu Meilan asked.
Uncle Xie replied: "This is purple Ganoderma lucidum, a very good one." (Photo)
"Uncle, which kind of Ganoderma lucidum is the best?" Liu Meilan asked, very curious. These should be the treasures of heaven and earth.
Uncle Xie thought for a moment and said, "All Ganoderma are good. If we were to say which one is the best in the eyes of us mountain hikers, it would be the pine and fir Ganoderma." (Picture)
Liu Meilan pointed to a place not far away, "Second uncle, is that it?"
Uncle Xie followed Liu Meilan's gaze and saw Ganoderma lucidum about ten meters away. He moved closer to take a look and said, "It's really the Purple Shirt Ganoderma lucidum!"
I just collected half a basket of Hericium erinaceus, and now I can pick a basket of purple Ganoderma lucidum and pine Ganoderma lucidum.
Uncle Xie was so annoyed.
Normally it would be good to find a few plants, but now I can find so many, it’s really eye-opening.
Uncle Xie is a mountain hiker. Although he is sometimes an atheist, he is also a theist sometimes.
He felt that Liu Meilan was so lucky that she seemed like the daughter of the mountain god, and all the good things were given to Liu Meilan.
Feeling that Uncle Xie's gaze was a little strange, Liu Meilan asked in surprise: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Uncle Xie asked, "Meilan, has your luck always been this good?"
Liu Meilan scratched her chin. "Everyone around me says I'm lucky because my fishing boat always returns with a full load, and the seafood I catch is very good. I'm in the mountains, so I seem to have good luck too."
Uncle Xie looked Liu Meilan up and down and said, "You are a lucky kid. Let's go a little further. There should be ginseng over there!"
"Second uncle, how did you know?" Liu Meilan looked suspicious. Why did she feel that there was nothing there?
Uncle Xie smiled and said, "Many of us mountain hikers have dug up ginseng there."
"Uncle, when was the last time you dug ginseng there?" Liu Meilan asked curiously.
Uncle Xie thought for a moment and said, "Two years ago!"
"Ah?" Liu Meilan was stunned. "So long? Then when was the last time you heard that someone had dug up ginseng in that place?"
Uncle Xie thought for a moment and said, "About a year ago!"
Liu Meilan blinked her eyes. "See? Because many people know about it, many people go to dig for it. No matter how much ginseng there is, it won't be able to withstand the digging!"
"It's just like fishing in the ocean. If there is good seafood to be caught in that place, and more people know about it, more people will go there, and then there won't be that many seafood to be caught!"
Uncle Xie thought for a moment and said, "Aren't you lucky? You might be able to find ginseng in some corner!"
Liu Meilan looked around and pointed in the opposite direction, "Uncle, I think we can dig ginseng in this direction!"
“Ah?” This time it was Second Uncle Xie who was surprised. “Are you a ginseng doll? You can actually sense whether there is ginseng or not?”
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I'm not sure either, but my feeling is always pretty accurate! I lead the boatmen to catch seafood based on my feeling, and every time I get a good harvest!"
"Uncle, although you are an experienced mountain runner, I am a newbie who has just arrived here. Maybe the mountain god here will be kind to me and let me dig more ginseng!"
“Hahaha!” Xie Er laughed heartily, “Well, you have such a clever talk, the mountain god must be very happy to hear it, maybe he will send you some ginseng!”
The uncle and nephew chatted and laughed as they walked in the direction of Liu Meilan.
On the way, we encountered several trees with Hericium erinaceus growing on them.
"Uncle, you take a rest, I'll climb the tree!" Liu Meilan said, put down her things, and climbed up the tree.
Uncle Xie saw that Liu Meilan's hands and feet were still nimble and she didn't look tired, so he felt relieved to let Liu Meilan climb up.
Liu Meilan is very fast and skillful in picking Hericium erinaceus.
There are a total of six trees with Hericium erinaceus, one of which is almost as big as half of Liu Meilan’s head!
Some are snow-white, some are beige, and they both look good.
Second Uncle Xie was beaming with joy. His eldest brother had previously said that Liu Meilan didn’t look like any of the Xie family members at all.
But now, Uncle Xie can be sure that this is the child of their Xie family.
At least Liu Meilan is good at running in the mountains and climbing trees. She is so clever!
"Meilan, are you tired?" Uncle Xie asked hurriedly.
Liu Meilan wiped her sweat and said, "I'm not tired. I can handle it! Second uncle, let's continue!"
When Uncle Xie heard Liu Meilan's urging, he felt relieved and caught up with her carrying his things.
After a while, we came to a narrow valley.
When they walked inside, they found that the entrance was only wide enough for one person to pass through, and their backpacks were too big to fit through.
So Liu Meilan and Uncle Xie put the backpack outside and squeezed in with the tools.
Second Uncle Xie looked around in amazement, "I've passed this place often before, but I never thought there was such a gap at the entrance of the cave."
After turning around this gap and walking a short distance, we saw a lush valley.
"Oh my goodness, there are a lot of wild medicinal herbs here!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "No one is here, so there are so many wild herbs! But it looks like they are still growing, so it's not time to pick them yet!"
Second Uncle Xie nodded, "Yes, it will take another month or two before we can collect the medicine! Collecting it now will affect the efficacy of the medicine!"
Liu Meilan suggested, "Second Uncle, then don't move! Even a mountain runner like you doesn't know this place, and others may not be able to find it!"
"When the harvest season comes, call your trusted family members to come and harvest together. Collect the big ones and leave the small ones. Maybe you can harvest again next year."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Uncle Xie replied, "I'll call my eldest brother's family over when the time comes, because with more than a dozen of us, we should be able to collect quite a bit! After we sell the goods, I'll give you a big red envelope!"
Liu Meilan smiled and nodded, "Then I won't be polite!"
"Of course you're welcome!" Uncle Xie was excited. "This narrow valley is so long that we can really harvest a lot of wild medicinal herbs. Even if we only harvest them this year, we can still sell them for a lot of money!"
Uncle Xie was really happy as he could earn tens of thousands more this year.
That was all brought by this niece!
Liu Meilan was already walking in front, tapping the lush grass with the bamboo pole in her hand.
From time to time, small animals were frightened and ran away, and Uncle Xie actually saw several fat wild rabbits.
He brought a shotgun and with a few shots, he shot three rabbits.
They are all fat and big wild rabbits, weighing about seven or eight kilograms.
If it weren't for the fact that he needed to carry so many things, Uncle Xie could have fired a few more shots.
Liu Meilan was jealous, but the purpose of her trip was not the rabbits, but ginseng.
Uncle Xie looked around. The forest was dense with trees, the air was humid, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.
This is exactly the growth environment that ginseng likes. Based on his years of experience, he judged that there is a high possibility that there is a "treasure" hidden here.
Just as he was about to look carefully, Liu Meilan's voice rang out in front of him, "Second Uncle, come here quickly!"
"Meilan, what good things have you found again?" Uncle Xie was surprised. Liu Meilan gave him too many surprises that day.
Liu Meilan pointed at the ginseng in front of her and said, "Uncle, is this ginseng bigger than the century-old ginseng we dug yesterday?"
When Uncle Xie heard this, he came over to take a look and was stunned.
He had only stepped on a 20-year-old ginseng 300 years ago.
I didn’t expect to see him again this year!
"Big, of course it is big! This ginseng is roughly 300 years old!"
Liu Meilan was also very surprised. "Oh my God, when this ginseng appeared, didn't it mean that the Qing Dynasty had just been established? This is simply a living history!"
Uncle Xie was slightly stunned when he heard Liu Meilan's words, and then he smiled, "Meilan, you are right to say that. But there is a lot of history in life. Have you seen the big tree in front of you? It is at least 500 years old!"
Liu Meilan nodded, "Time has passed, things have changed, and people have changed! Every blade of grass, every tree, and us humans are just passers-by in history."
Uncle Xie didn't expect Liu Meilan to express her feelings at this time. He thought of his sister and often regretted that Liu Meilan did not go to college.
But Liu Meilan's thoughts, words and deeds do not seem like those of an uneducated person at all.
Although she did not go to college in school, Liu Meilan did very well in the university of life!
In addition, having the means to make a living, being able to choose the life you want, making your life rich and beautiful, and not wasting precious time is already good enough.
"Yes!" Uncle Xie echoed, "Since we are just passing through, we should not dwell on the little things in front of us. We should look to the long term and live our lives well. That is enough."
He is a practitioner of this sentence.
He lived his life the way he liked, taking care of his parents, raising his children, accompanying his wife, and being warm and sincere to his brothers and sisters. His home will always be their home.
Liu Meilan also felt that Uncle Xie's ideas coincided with hers, and the uncle and nephew had a good chat and got along well.
"That's right!" Liu Meilan smiled and took out the tools, "Second uncle, start digging ginseng! You know, I'm very skilled."
"I think this place should be suitable for growing ginseng. There is one here, and there should be some nearby."
Uncle Xie nodded and smiled, "Okay, then let's all try our best today to see who can dig up more ginseng!"
Although he didn't have Liu Meilan's luck, he had experience.
In fact, at this time his eyes had already seen a ginseng.
"Okay!" Liu Meilan nodded. Her movements were very gentle, but not slow.
Uncle Xie walked to a place about ten meters away to make sure he had seen it right. "Meilan, come and congratulate me. I also found a ginseng!"
Liu Meilan was a very supportive person. She put down her tools and ran over to him, "Uncle, your plant is quite big!"
Uncle Xie nodded and said with a smile: "Yes! This one is 200 years old! They are all top-notch medicinal herbs!"
With the help of his niece, he really made a fortune!
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Second Uncle, let's dig quickly! I guess it will be late when we finish digging the ginseng, so we should go back!"
Second Uncle Xie looked up and didn’t dare to waste time. “That’s right, let’s hurry up!”
Liu Meilan and Uncle Xie were busy digging ginseng.
The 300-year-old ginseng is extraordinary. Its roots are longer and more numerous than those of a 100-year-old ginseng. It is also a rare “five generations living under one roof”. (Photo)
Seven taels are ginseng and eight taels are treasures.
Liu Meilan felt that this ginseng weighed more than eight taels.
Liu Meilan was very careful when digging. Even though she was digging as fast as she could, it still took her an hour and a half to dig out the whole ginseng.
Liu Meilan stood up to stretch her muscles and rub her knees, and saw that her second uncle Xie had only dug half of the hole.
She drank some water and said to Second Uncle Xie: "Second Uncle, I don't know how to preserve ginseng, can you help me? I will help you play with ginseng!"
Now, Second Uncle Xie was very impressed with Liu Meilan's ginseng digging skills. He was so tired that his hands were shaking and his knees were sore.
If he dug, it would probably take another hour and a half, by which time it would be dark.
Although there are fewer wild animals in the mountains and forests now, they do exist.
Go back sooner and be safer sooner.
"Okay, then it's up to you!"
"No problem, it'll be done in half an hour!" Liu Meilan continued digging with the tools, and her speed was indeed much faster than Sherlock's.
It took less than half an hour, only about twenty minutes to complete.
Uncle Xie helped Liu Meilan put the 300-year-old ginseng in moss wrapped in birch bark and prepared a portion for his own ginseng.
Carrying ginseng, tools and rabbits, Uncle Xie and Liu Meilan hurried away and returned along the same route.
They crawled out from the crack in the stone and found their backpacks were still there.
Liu Meilan put her life in a backpack, carried the rabbit, and tied most of the tools to the back of the backpack.
Liu Meilan put most of the weight on herself so that her second uncle could bear less burden.
"Meilan, let me do it!" Uncle Xie was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw Liu Meilan like this.
"No need, Second Uncle, let's hurry up!" Liu Meilan urged. After all, Second Uncle was old and his strength was not as good as when he was young.
Uncle Xie shook his head. "Although what I said was a bit hurtful, I still want to say it. Do you know why you are short?"
Liu Meilan bared her teeth when she heard this, "My grandfather said, I take after my great-grandmother!"
Second Uncle Xie felt distressed, "It's obviously because you do too much work and carry too much weight, so you can't grow taller! Hurry up and give me your backpack, I'll carry it!"
Liu Meilan carried him on her back and walked away, "If I don't want to grow taller, then I don't want to grow taller. Anyway, I've found a partner now! My partner likes my short stature!"
"As the saying goes, essence is concentrated! Being short is not a disadvantage, uncle, hurry up! If you dawdle any longer, it will be dark soon!"
Seeing that Liu Meilan was already walking ahead with her things on her back, Uncle Xie felt sad and tender.
"This child is so filial!"
They took a long way here, and tried to take a short way back.
Uncle Xie was surprised to find that Liu Meilan had taken the right path.
"Meilan, how do you know that this path leads down?"
Liu Meilan pointed in the direction of Xiejiatun and said, "That's where grandma and grandpa live. The general direction is right. There are many paths crisscrossing each other. As long as there is a path, he can get through!"
Second Uncle Xie squinted his eyes and looked over to make sure Liu Meilan was right. "Meilan, you have a really good sense of direction!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Uncle, don't forget that I make a living on the boundless ocean! Isn't it harder to identify directions on the sea than in the woods?"
Second Uncle Xie smiled, liking Liu Meilan more and more. "When I have a chance, I have to go to the beach. How about you take me to the sea?"
