Huang Guixiang was born into a farming family and had amazing mobility. She quickly turned over an area of four or five square meters around her.
Perhaps it was because optimists naturally have good luck. She was lucky enough to discover a nest of Gastrodia elata by accident. It turned out to be a densely packed pile of them underground, more numerous than potato plants.
I couldn't stop digging.
It's all full of harvest.
Jiang Nian was not idle either, and joined in the digging. Her movements with the hoe were not as skillful as Huang Guixiang's, but the harvest was still good.
After a while, the bamboo basket was full and could no longer hold any more things. The things that had been put in previously had to be taken out first and all put in to hold the Gastrodia elata.
After all, Gastrodia elata is the most valuable!
Jiang Nian had previously taught his sisters-in-law that after digging up wild mushrooms, they should cover them with soil. This would preserve the fungal environment underground so that they could continue to grow wild mushrooms when the season comes.
The same goes for Gastrodia elata, which relies on fungi to provide nutrients for its growth.
Huang Guixiang remembered all this, so while digging out the Gastrodia elata, she covered it with soil again, and then used her small hoe to cover it tightly twice to prevent it from being exposed to the sun.
After a few days, maybe it will grow again.
It takes two or three hours to dig like this.
Jiang Nian and Huang Guixiang stopped for a short rest at noon, drank some water, ate something, and after a short rest, they started working again.
When this area was dug up in pieces, the Gastrodia elata they found became smaller and smaller, which meant that they had almost dug it all up.
Huang Guixiang stood up, straightened her bent waist, and pounded her lower back with her hands.
She glanced at the sky. It wasn't too late, but it would take them longer to go back than it did to come here. They had to leave early. It was time to go back to the compound.
"Thinking of my sister..."
Huang Guixiang called out for help, and Jiang Nian looked up and turned to look over.
Just a glance.
Huang Guixiang was about to speak, but after seeing Jiang Nian's face, she suddenly said, "Hahahaha...hahaha..."
She laughed with great delight.
The waist that had just been straightened was bent again by laughter.
The last time I came to the mountain, I saw Song Yingying in such a mess, but Jiang Nianyi acted very relaxed.
Unexpectedly, this time, even Jiang Nian became dirty.
"Face... Sister Nian, wipe your face quickly... It's covered with dirt."
Jiang Nian reached out and touched her face, but forgot that her hands and sleeves were covered with mud from digging Gastrodia elata.
This touch made the fair face even dirtier.
"Ouch! Don't touch it! Your forehead is all dirty now."
Huang Guixiang was anxious to speak out, she found it both funny and interesting.
Jiang Nian wiped it a few times but found that it was not clean, so he simply gave up, "It's dirty, it's dirty, just go back and wash it. Sister Guixiang, is it time for us to go back?"
"Well, we should go. Although walking down the mountain is not tiring, it is often difficult to walk down the mountain, and we have to carry so many things. It's early now, so if we go back early, we can walk slower on the road."
"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Guixiang."
Jiang Nian nodded and agreed.
The two prepared to return and began to pack up.
Huang Guixiang dug a lot and filled the bamboo backpack and the snakeskin bag. She found a thick wooden stick in the forest and hung heavy objects on both ends to make a shoulder pole.
This way you can carry one on your back and lift one on your shoulders, which makes it convenient to travel.
When Jiang Nian was simply packing up, he quietly put a lot of Gastrodia elata into the Lingbao space. The weight on his body was much lighter and he didn't feel tired.
The two went down the mountain together.
