Jiang Nian immediately approached the mountain wall, lifted up the lush new leaves of Polygonum multiflorum, and saw that the root of the Polygonum multiflorum was as thick as a little finger.
The quality is indeed extraordinary!
Jiang Nian followed the tangled vines, searching bit by bit as he went down.
Due to the special growth method of Polygonum multiflorum, its root is very difficult to find and is the part that tests the ability of the herbalist the most.
Jiang Nian calmed down and slowly figured it out.
Finally, the target was locked on a place a few meters away from the mountain wall.
This is it!
She put down the bamboo basket, took out a small hoe from it, squatted on the ground and started digging.
Good quality Polygonum multiflorum is hidden very deep, so Jiang Nian spent half an hour digging.
Finally, the entire rhizome of Polygonum multiflorum was dug out.
It is not a big piece, but individual, round ones, like ginseng babies.
The skin is reddish-brown, like sweet potato, but the inside is yellow when cut open.
Jiang Nian counted them and found that there were ten.
She was overjoyed and immediately put it into the spiritual treasure space.
Five of them were planted in the spiritual field, next to the Fritillaria cirrhosa; the other five were washed and dried first, and would be taken out and processed after Jiang Nian returned.
In addition, the night vines must not be wasted and must all be placed in the spiritual treasure space.
Finally, it’s the leaves of Polygonum multiflorum, which can be used to make tea after drying and then put into a bamboo backpack.
Digging up such a big piece of Polygonum multiflorum, Jiang Nian felt that the trip was worthwhile.
But there are endless treasures in the mountains, and there are more than just these.
Not afterwards.
Jiang Nian also discovered golden thread lotus, dendrobium, ophiopogon japonicus, nightshade, nettle, and gynostemma pentaphyllum...
In addition to medicinal herbs, wild fruits are indispensable in the mountains in spring.
One by one, the bright red fruits hanging on the branches are wild raspberries grown here.
It can also be used to make sorghum soup.
Because the fruits are close to each other, they look especially like grains.
Wild raspberry
Wild raspberries not only come in red, yellow, and black varieties, each one juicy and full of juice.
Jiang Nian picked a long one casually, and felt a sweet and refreshing taste on the tip of his tongue.
Jiang Nian thought it was especially delicious. It was actually the fruit grown in the Lingbao Space. Nothing else could compare to it.
"Take these wild raspberries back. An An will definitely like them."
Wild raspberries can be eaten directly or mixed with a little yogurt.
Jiang Nian looked around and saw a big mulberry tree with large mulberry leaves.
She picked a few of the largest leaves and twisted them into a cone shape, like an ice cream cone.
In this way, the wild raspberries picked one by one can be put into mulberry leaves.
Red, yellow, black, all available~
Yellow sorghum bubble
Jiang Nian was busy picking and eating.
"Thinking of my sister - thinking of my sister -"
Huang Guixiang's shouting came from not far away, gradually getting closer.
"Sister Nian, are you picking wild fruits? These fruits are not in season yet and they taste sour." Huang Guixiang reminded her after approaching.
Jiang Nian turned around and said, "I've tasted it, it's sweet. I want to pick some and bring it back for An An to try."
"I see."
Huang Guixiang walked all the way, walking fast and breathing heavily.
She held several lumps of something that looked like muddy potatoes in her hands and handed them to Jiang Nian to see.
"Sister Nian, this is something I dug up when I was digging for matsutake mushrooms. They are yellow and scattered one by one. Can you help me take a look at them? Are they potatoes? If they are potatoes, I'll dig up some more and take them home to eat."
Huang Guixiang's eyes were shining and full of hope.
She was a person who had survived the three-year Great Famine in the 1960s, and had a natural reverence for food. No matter how delicious matsutake mushrooms were, they could not make her happy as much as potatoes.
Jiang Nian took the mud ball and looked at it carefully.
They are round and plump. After rubbing off the mud, a layer of yellow skin is exposed. They do look a bit like potatoes.
But compared to the smooth surface of a potato, this thing has tiny dots on it, and the dots can be connected to form a circle...
This is not a potato, but Gastrodia elata!
Jiang Nian held the Gastrodia elata in his hand and looked at Huang Guixiang with excitement, "Sister Guixiang, where did you dig this thing?"
"It's right there, on a small hill, not far away."
"Hurry up and take me to see it!"
"Sister Nian, you haven't told me yet, is this a potato? Can I eat it?"
"It's not a potato, but it's edible! It tastes better and is more nutritious than potatoes. Sister Guixiang, you've found something good!"
Jiang Nian pulled Huang Guixiang and quickly headed towards that direction.
Huang Guixiang was still confused, but she knew she would be right if she listened to Jiang Nian's words.
If Jiang Nian says it is a good thing, then it must be a good thing.
Huang Guixiang was already laughing.
The two of them quickly came to the location Huang Guixiang mentioned. Beside it were the matsutake mushrooms that Huang Guixiang had dug out and some yellow mud that had been cleared away.
Jiang Nian squatted down and continued digging.
After just three or two tries, she immediately dug up another round mud ball, it was definitely Gastrodia elata!
Gastrodia elata can be eaten raw or used as a traditional Chinese medicinal material. It has the effects of calming wind and relieving convulsions, calming liver yang, and dispelling wind and dredging meridians.
It also has special medicinal effects on epilepsy, convulsions, dizziness, headache, numbness of limbs, paralysis of hands and feet, and rheumatic pain.
Gastrodia elata is a tuberous plant. It has no rhizomes, branches or leaves. It hides in the soil and relies on fungi for nutrients.
When Gastrodia elata reaches maturity, a thick yellow stem will emerge from the ground.
Therefore, wild Gastrodia elata is hidden deep in the soil and is very difficult to find. It is something you can only encounter by chance but not by force.
㫇tian was actually met by Huang Guixiang, not just one person, but a whole group of people.
Just from the location where Jiang Nian is, if you look carefully around, you can find quite a few.
"Sister Guixiang, this is Gastrodia elata, a traditional Chinese medicine. If you don't want to eat it, you can sell it for money."
Huang Guixiang asked curiously, "How much can it be sold for?"
"This is a wild roe deer, and it's this big. If we dig up more, we can sell it for at least 20 or 30 yuan."
"How much did you say? Twenty or thirty yuan? That's my husband's monthly salary! Is this thing so valuable?" Huang Guixiang was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.
How much rice and potatoes can you buy with twenty or thirty yuan... I dare not even imagine it.
There was only one word left in Huang Guixiang's mind.
dig!
Be sure to dig more!
She held a small hoe in her hand, full of energy, and said excitedly, "Sister Nian, I will start digging right now! If I don't turn over this piece of land, I, Huang Guixiang, will not go home for the rest of my life!"
