January flies by.
Zili deliberately planned to send his pig to his friend's house early in the morning and asked the friend to take care of it.
He turned around, grabbed Shu Miao, and rushed towards the riverside brigade.
The two did not dare to get too close to the area where the Yanhe Brigade was located. After all, they were no longer members of the Yanhe Brigade, and there were only a few reasons for returning to the original brigade.
Even though they were just teenagers, they would definitely receive a lecture if they were caught.
For this reason, they would rather take a longer route to avoid people.
Walking in the familiar woods, I ran around happily everywhere.
Now and then I'd find a bush of raspberries, bilberry, or late-ripening prickly pear.
To be honest, if these three kinds of fruits hadn't been planted in the space, she still wouldn't be able to tell which one was which.
After all, at first glance, except for the obvious differences during the flowering period, the fruits are almost the same, making it really difficult to tell one from the other.
But the joy didn't last long before we encountered a huge challenge.
Because the two of them spent the entire morning searching all the places where Gastrodia elata was suspected to grow, but they didn't find a single one!
In a hurry, Zili jumped up and down, digging the grass everywhere, and finally accidentally fell into a puddle of water.
Although the weather has become much warmer, you still need to wear long sleeves, not to mention that the temperature will be lower in the mountains.
Even though Shu Miao pulled him up in time, Zi Li was still mostly wet.
There was no choice but for the two to go home.
Halfway through the journey, Zili's teeth were already chattering from the cold.
When passing by the Qianweigou Brigade, Shu Miao shamelessly went to Huang Mansui to borrow a set of clothes.
When leaving, I noticed that Zi Li's face was not very good, so I immediately carried him on my back and went back to Yueer Bay.
They happened to meet a member of Yueerwan who was returning to her parents' home. After the young couple discovered the situation of their two children, they immediately gave up their plan to return to her parents' home and rushed to Yueerwan with Zili on their backs.
By the time they arrived at the clinic, Shu Zili's consciousness was a little fuzzy.
Doctor Wang glared at Shu Miao upon seeing this, and without bothering to take his pulse, he immediately gave him an IV drip to reduce his fever.
Li Qiao rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing that Zili's condition had stabilized, she hurriedly thanked the young couple and then went to find Shu Miao to find out the situation.
When he heard that the two children had gone to look for Gastrodia elata, he was so angry that he almost dragged Zili up and gave him a beating.
In a fit of rage, he yelled at the two children and made them promise not to look for Gastrodia elata again before he gave up.
…………
At the beginning of winter that year, Shu Miao dug out two pieces of Gastrodia elata that were ten centimeters (the old name for centimeters) in size from the space.
Using the excuse of scouting the site in the first half of the year, they said they had marked it down specifically for digging in the winter.
Fortunately, most people use this method to collect Gastrodia elata, and Doctor Wang did not doubt it.
He happily offered a high price and bought these two pieces of "wild Gastrodia elata" of excellent quality.
Shu Miao took the opportunity to ask how to tell the age of the Gastrodia elata, until the other party pointed to the so-called "belly button" and "parrot's beak" and determined that the Gastrodia elata should bloom next year.
Shu Miao was completely confused. How could it bloom after only two years of planting?
Or is it because the space has always maintained a constant temperature and humidity, which has accelerated the growth of Gastrodia elata?
But why are the growth cycles of other crops almost the same as those of plants outside?
Shu Miao asked aloud with a lot of questions in his mind, but received an uncertain answer from the other party, and fell silent for a moment...
After that, I went up the mountain to check the situation of the Gastrodia elata mushroom nest. Unexpectedly, more than half of the Gastrodia elata seeds planted last year survived as predicted!
In order to prevent the mushroom nests he dug from interfering with the growth of Gastrodia elata, Shu Miao planted another batch of Gastrodia seeds and decided not to dig this land again until the time was right.
Early spring of 1973.
The first batch of Gastrodia elata planted in the space really sprouted and bloomed as predicted by Doctor Wang!
The slender columnar style is straight and proud, with a warm and elegant light yellow color throughout.
The neatly arranged tender green buds on the pistil look like new willows sprouting in spring, fresh and full of vitality.
It really amazed Shu Miao for a long time.
Twenty days later, the spores slowly grow into fruits the size of a fingernail.
Because Shu Miao had consulted Dr. Wang in advance on how to judge whether the Gastrodia elata seeds were ripe, he decisively picked the fruit at the bottom of the pistil.
With a gentle pinch, the powdery seeds in the fruit fall out.
