Chapter 89 Wild Ginseng Check-in Site

After careful consideration, Ning Xiyue took out the map, opened it mysteriously, and pulled Ning Qingyuan to look at it.

"Brother, look what I have here. This is a treasure I found at the scrapyard. It should have been left by a former hunter. Let's follow the route above and try. It would be great if we find it, but it won't be a loss if we don't."

Ning Xiyue raised her hands again and said passionately: "We must get more things today and send some back home, so that they will know how carefree we two siblings are living in the countryside."

"It looks so detailed. Okay, I'll do as you say. We'll follow this route today. We won't go back until we fill our backpacks."

Ning Qingyuan was very excited and was stimulated by the last words his sister said. Here, his sister only has him as her brother, and he is the only one who has the opportunity to run around with his sister. He has to send some of the things he brought back from the mountains to his elder brother, and he also has to write a letter to chat with him.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea. Ning Qingyuan pointed to the place where ginseng was dug on the map.

"Let's go straight to this most valuable piece of land and start with the good stuff."

The two siblings ran towards their destination in high spirits and vigor, and of course there was also Little Gray running happily in the woods.

The place where ginseng grows is relatively hidden. Although Ning Xiyue and his sister have a map, they don't know how long the map has existed. Some landforms in the mountains have quietly changed over the long river of time.

The two of them walked around the place indicated by the map but didn't find it.

Ning Qingyuan looked at the map in his hand and found it a little unreliable, but he didn't have the heart to discourage his sister: "Sister, let's go. This ginseng may have been discovered and dug up by others."

"Wait, let's look for it again."

Ning Xiyue was a little unwilling. The sign-in items given by Tongzi had never disappointed her. She recalled the introduction of ginseng's growth environment in the Chinese herbal medicine atlas.

"I remember what was written in the book: ginseng likes shade and moisture, likes oblique light, doesn't like strong sunlight, and likes fertile land with a lot of humus. Brother, look for places with these characteristics."

"Okay, let's look for it again."

Ning Qingyuan recited the characteristics his sister mentioned while carefully looking for places with these characteristics.

What followed was a thorough search.

"Ah, I found it, sister, come back quickly, I found it, here, there are a lot of them." Ning Qingyuan shouted to Ning Xiyue in surprise, his voice cracked with joy.

Ning Xiyue, who had been looking down, looked up instantly: "Where are you? Let me see. Hey, where are you, brother?"

"Here." Ning Qingyuan poked his head out from a low bush and waved at her with a smile on his face, "Come here quickly."

Ning Xiyue hurried over, unable to hide the smile on her face. Her brother was really awesome.

"Be careful, that ginseng is very selective about where it grows. It grew in the middle of this jungle, and the thorns and short trees around it all covered it up. So we searched for a long time but couldn't find it. It was only thanks to Xiao Hui that he went in that I was able to see it."

Ning Qingyuan protected Ning Xiyue's head and moved carefully into the jungle.

"Look, sister, there are a bunch of them. These stems have small red seeds, and these seedless ones are ginseng. They look like the ones in the notebook."

Ning Xiyue gasped when she saw this small piece of ginseng field: "Oh my god, brother, it's all ginseng. The ginseng in this small piece of field must be worth a lot of money. Brother, we are rich."

"Ding, the check-in location is found, the wild ginseng gathering place. Checking in at this location requires the host to take a photo with Ning Qingyuan, Xiao Hui, and the wild ginseng field and check in. Host, do you want to sign in?"

I didn't expect that there is a check-in location in the mountains, and it is a check-in location with special requirements. Ning Xiyue is very much looking forward to the things at this check-in location. Based on past experience, it must be a good thing.

Ning Xiyue took Xiao Hui, who was smelling the ginseng seeds, into her arms, and looked at her second brother, who was looking at the ginseng excitedly but at a loss.

"Brother, please move sideways to my side. Let's expose the light so it's easier to dig. We can't damage such precious ginseng."

"Oh, yes, it would be so sad if we damaged it. We can't let even a single beard fall. The intact ones are the most valuable."

Ning Qingyuan took small steps to Ning Xiyue's left side. Ning Xiyue pulled him and moved to the right. They squatted side by side around the ginseng field.

"Tongzi, sign in."

"Sign in successfully, and obtain a set of ginseng cultivation technology courseware. The host needs to collect 100 ginseng seeds to light up this small classroom."

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. This courseware is exactly what Ning Xiyue wants. If she learns this, will she have to worry about not having money in the future? No worries at all.

As for the ginseng seeds, that’s not a simple matter.

Ning Xiyue looked at the ripe, flat, spherical red berries on the six ginseng stalks in front of her. Each berry had two seeds. There were at least twenty berries on this one ginseng stalk, and the six ginseng stalks here had at least two hundred and forty seeds.

She took away more than enough seeds for four plants.

Ning Xiyue took out a small cloth bag and picked three ginsengs as big as berries.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Ning Qingyuan looked at his sister's actions curiously.

"Brother, I want to get some seeds and plant them to see if they can grow. If they can grow, our family will be rich."

"I'll help you with it."

Although Ning Qingyuan didn't believe that his sister could succeed in farming, he was a good brother. He would support his sister in whatever she said as long as it was not a bad thing. Whether it would succeed or not was a matter for the future.

Ning Xiyue reminded him, "Brother, leave two fruits for it. This place is suitable for growing ginseng. We will come here to look for it next year."

"OK."

Ning Qingyuan only picks big fruits.

After picking all the ginseng berries, Ning Qingyuan looked at the ginseng in a dilemma: "Sister, how should we dig? I don't know where to start when we see a piece of ginseng. I heard from grandpa that ginseng must be tied with red ropes, and we don't have any red ropes in our hands."

"It's the same if we don't tie it up. It won't grow legs and run away." Ning Xiyue didn't believe in this custom. It was obviously the saying of the older generation. "Here, brother, let's use the sickle to pry it first, and then use the branches to dig it out bit by bit when we see the ginseng."

"Okay, that's it."

With Ning Xiyue's words, Ning Qingyuan found his backbone. The two of them and the wolf lay on the ground and slowly dug the mud.

The uninformed Ning Qingyuan was both happy and panicked: "I saw the ginseng, Xiao Hui, stop and let me do it. My goodness, the head of this ginseng is really long, it must be an old ginseng that has been growing for many years!"

Ning Xiyue took a look at the plant that Xiao Hui had dug up. Wow, there were so many reed heads on the top of the reed, it was obviously an old ginseng.

"It's at least 80 or 90 years old. Our map is so old, and there's a small patch of ginseng growing here. It's obvious that no one has been here for some years. Brother, let's dig harder. There may be more than one old ginseng here."

Ning Qingyuan was full of anticipation: "That would be great, old ginseng is valuable, after today, my brother and I will become the richest people in the family."

Ning Xiyue smiled. She would not tell her second brother that she was the richest person in the family.
