Chapter 59 Found Wild Ginseng
Su Mo walked very fast and soon reached the mountain, then continued to walk to the edge of the deep mountain.
She had been wandering around the edge of the deep mountain in the Lujia Village Brigade area the previous two days, and today she was walking around the Lijiaao area to see if there would be any harvest.
Su Mo walked and sensed, and from time to time she also absorbed some wood energy, and soon found a few more chestnut trees.
At this time, most of the adults were still finishing the autumn harvest, and most of those who came to sweep the mountain to harvest the autumn harvest were children, and they only dared to walk around the outside and did not dare to walk so inside. Therefore
, there were still a lot of chestnuts hanging on these chestnut trees, and it was obvious that no one had harvested them.
Su Mo quickly used her supernatural powers to suck up the weeds under the trees, pulled out the dead grass, and picked up the chestnuts that had fallen to the ground before. She actually picked up half a basket.
Then she used her supernatural powers to ripen the chestnuts. She found a wooden stick and knocked down all the ripe chestnuts on the trees. She picked up two full baskets of chestnuts from a few small trees, and they were pure chestnuts without the shells.
Su Mo only left about four or five pounds of chestnuts in the basket, and put the rest into the space.
Her space was not big to begin with, and there was not much space left before. The space left by selling four baskets of fruit was about to be filled up again.
After giving the bedding to her parents tomorrow, there will be more space.
Su Mo picked up the things she found while walking along.
For example, she picked the hazel mushrooms that looked good and left the ones that looked bad. She had plenty of space for pine nuts, but she didn't like them very much, so she didn't pick any more. She did pick up chestnuts and walnuts. But these two kinds of mountain products were relatively rare, so she didn't pick many.
In total, she had space for about four baskets of chestnuts, and another basket at home. She had space for about three baskets of walnuts, and two baskets at home. She had space for about three baskets of hazel mushrooms, and most of them were dried at home. She had space for one basket of pine nuts at home, and about two baskets.
The harvest was still quite good.
But there was not much meat, and she only caught two pheasants. It’s not that she didn’t encounter any animals, but these animals were very smart and would run away as soon as they heard any noise. Besides, her main purpose was to find wild ginseng, so she didn’t chase them.
Uh…if she chased them, she probably wouldn’t be able to catch up.
As for the wild boar robe and the like, she didn’t have the luck of those heroines and didn’t even see its shadow. It was probably the highlight of her life when the hare came to her door that day.
Su Mo was not going to go back for lunch today, so she kept looking inside. At noon, when Su Mo passed by a bush on a slope, she felt an energy she had never felt before. The energy was extremely strong and majestic.
Su Mo was shocked and quickly took the stick and carefully pushed aside the weeds. In the heart of the weeds, she found two clusters of small red fruits.
Su Mo was so excited that tears welled
up in her eyes. Oh my god! She still had some luck.
She found the wild ginseng so quickly!
She just said the wrong thing. This was her highlight moment.
Su Mo carefully sucked up all the weeds around with her special power, and then pulled them out. After clearing out this area, Su Mo found that there were actually three wild ginsengs, two with four-grade leaves and one with five-grade leaves. The one with fruit was the one with five-grade leaves.
Su Mo first carefully picked all the red fruits and carefully packed them in a bag. This was the key to her future wealth.
Because there were no special tools for digging wild ginseng, Su Mo took a dagger, crawled on the ground, and dug carefully, trying not to break any whiskers.
Su Mo spent three or four hours to dig out three wild ginsengs.
Su Mo didn't know how to tell the age of these wild ginsengs. The two four-grade leaves looked relatively small and their energy was not that strong. The five-grade leaf one had strong energy and looked quite old. There were many small pits (lu wrists) on its body, many small whiskers, and several large whiskers.
Su Mo guessed that it must be fifty or sixty years old, if not a hundred years old.
Su Mo carefully collected the wild ginsengs and prepared to go back to find a few jars to plant them, and use supernatural powers to promote their growth every day to increase their age.
Su Mo saw that it was almost four o'clock, so she quickly packed up, put on her backpack and hurried down the mountain. On the way, she picked up a large piece of firewood, tied it with a rope, and dragged it all the way back.
Li Yue'e forgot to give Su Mo the kerosene money yesterday. When she came early this morning, Su Mo was not there. When she came at noon, Su Mo was not there either. She came after work and Su Mo was still not home.
She couldn't help but feel a little worried. Could she have encountered something in the mountains?
Li Yue'e was thinking whether to go back and ask the old man to ask some people to go up the mountain to look for her. When she turned around, she saw Su Mo coming from a distance, carrying a backpack and dragging a large firewood behind her.
Li Yue'e: ...
She really misjudged me.
I thought the third brother's family was someone who didn't know how to live. I didn't expect him to be so good at housework. He went out to harvest the autumn harvest and still knew to drag a pile of firewood back.
Li Yue'e walked over quickly and took the firewood that Su Mo was carrying: "Where did you go to harvest the autumn crops? You were not at home all day."
"I just went for a walk in the mountains. I walked a long way and took some food with me. I didn't come back at noon." Su Mo said.
Fortunately, she filled the backpack with chestnuts and walnuts when she was about to arrive. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain if she went out for a day without anything.
Li Yue'e looked out and said, "Oh, how did you pick so many?"
This backpack of chestnuts and walnuts must be at least thirty or forty kilograms. The third brother must be very strong to carry them all the way up the mountain.
"Don't carry such heavy firewood next time. Didn't the third brother ask Guoping to help you collect firewood? Don't bother to do it yourself."
"It's okay. I saw it on the way and thought it was a waste, so I dragged it back."
After arriving home, Li Yue'e first helped Su Mo put the big firewood into the woodshed, then came out, took out fifty cents and handed it to Su Mo: "Kerosene money, I forgot to give it to you yesterday."
Su Mo hurriedly waved her hand, "Mom, no need, you still have to settle these few cents with me."
Li Yue'e stuffed the money into Su Mo's hand, "A few cents is also money. Since we have separated, we have to divide it clearly. It's okay for daily food, but you still have to pay for buying things. You and the third brother have to make up for everything. How much do you contribute?"
After that, Li Yue'e was about to leave, but Su Mo stopped her.
"Okay, I'll take the money. I picked a lot of chestnuts and walnuts today, you can pack some back to eat."
Li Yue'e saw that there were indeed a lot, and she was busy at work and did not go to harvest, so she didn't hesitate, took a bamboo basket from Su Mo's house, filled half of the basket with chestnuts and left.
