After the first round of explosions and the smoke cleared, Zhou Pin went into the cave to check the situation, while Xu Lin waited outside.
"It's working well. Two more times should be enough. I'll take care of the rest. You go find some Chinese medicine."
"Be careful." Xu Lin left behind enough material for two explosions and took Shuke and Beta away.
Xu Lin intended to wander around the neighborhood, but the dogs seemed to have discovered something and started biting at her trouser legs, pulling her in one direction. Luckily, Xu Lin was well-equipped, otherwise she would have been pricked into a hedgehog by the thorns on the road.
"Is this what you found?" Xu Lin asked, looking at the ginseng on the ground.
"Woof woof woof, woof woof, woof!" Yes, yes, dig it out quickly, it'll be a treat for me tonight.
Shuke looked proud. Xu Lin patted the dog's head a couple of times, then took out her tools and started digging for ginseng.
There are some tricks to digging ginseng. Xu Lin didn't know this before, but she learned some things last night while studying a book about the special products of the Daxing Mountain range.
Ginseng is usually harvested using deer antlers, but not always; some people also use bamboo skewers, which are very convenient tools. Xu Lin didn't know if there were any deer antlers in her space, but she certainly had plenty of bamboo, so sharpening a bamboo skewer would be a piece of cake.
There is a scientific basis for the prohibition of using iron tools when harvesting ginseng. Iron tools have been used to harvest ginseng since ancient times. In the past, some wealthy people would use silver crowns or gold spoons to harvest ginseng, while those who were not wealthy would use earthenware pots.
If other tools are used to harvest ginseng, they can easily scratch or bump the ginseng. The components in the metal tools can react chemically with the active ingredients in the ginseng, which may cause adverse effects.
Such highly destructive metal materials cannot be used when harvesting ginseng. However, deer antlers and bamboo skewers contain no metallic keratin components and will not have any adverse effects on ginseng.
The book says that the time to harvest ginseng is after Grain Rain or before White Dew in the 24 solar terms, specifically from April to September each year.
It's June now, the perfect time for mining, a perfect combination of timing, location, and people!
Xu Lin took out the book and dug according to the steps in the book. When all the roots were exposed, Xu Lin smiled so wide that her mouth stretched to her ears.
"Wow, it's so big, it must be over a hundred years old! Well done!" She turned around and patted Shuke and Beta twice. "Little darlings, keep searching, I'm going to achieve ginseng freedom!"
After saying that, he quickly took the cloth he had prepared beforehand, wrapped the ginseng in it, and put it into his spatial storage.
This one is quite large, so we can keep it for later use. We can also dig up some smaller ones and plant them in our space. Will ginseng freedom be far away then?
Shuke and Beta received Xu Lin's orders to split up and search for targets. Once they found one, they would call Xu Lin over to dig it up. The two dogs and the person were busy and happy, completely forgetting about Zhou Pin, who was engaged in blasting work.
When the sun was high in the sky, the hottest time of the day had arrived. The dogs were panting with their tongues hanging out, and Xu Lin was both tired and thirsty.
"We were having so much fun digging that we forgot about your father. Quickly, take me back." Zhou Pingai was getting anxious.
The dogs led Xu Lin toward the cave and returned about half an hour later, just in time to see Zhou Pin coming out of the cave.
"How is it? How is it?"
Xu Lin was quite tired, but seeing Zhou Pin instantly perked her up.
"Just as we guessed," Zhou Pin said, taking off his gas mask.
"Yay!" Xu Lin jumped up and hugged Zhou Pin.
