"Haha, if wild Cordyceps were easy to find, the price wouldn't be so expensive."
The herder tour guide was very happy to find Cordyceps. He explained it with a smile and then excitedly got on the ground and started digging.
As he dug, he continued to explain to everyone: "Where Cordyceps grows, the soil is generally not very hard. Cordyceps cannot grow in soil that is too hard.
Once you find the Cordyceps, you just need to insert the stick deep into the soil like this, and then gently pry it up, and the entire piece of soil where the Cordyceps is growing will be dug up."
As he spoke, he took the dug mud in his hands and started peeling it off.
As the moist soil gradually fell off, a Cordyceps sinensis gradually revealed its true appearance.
Cordyceps is about the same length as an adult's finger and about the same thickness as a slightly thinner straw.
After carefully blowing away the remaining dirt, the herder guide took out a small box from his pocket.
He first found some moss and spread it on the bottom of the box, and then carefully put the Cordyceps in.
The pious look was as if the Cordyceps was some rare treasure.
Seeing him like this, the little kid next to him pouted and said, "Uncle herder, why didn't you put away the thing I just picked up?"
The little girl's tone was very dissatisfied.
Isn’t it worth treating carefully what you picked up?
Humph, I must give myself a reasonable explanation today.
If you don't give it to me, then I will...
Just as the little girl was pouting and thinking about what to do, the herdsman tour guide opposite her came to his senses and laughed cheerfully.
"Haha~ Don't be angry, little girl. The reason why the one you just picked up is not stored like this is because it has been dried by the sun.
The reason this one is covered with moss is because it was just dug out, and covering it with moss can better preserve it.”
"Oh~ So this is what it looks like~"
Little Milk Balloon was not the kind of person who made unreasonable demands. After listening to the explanation of the pastoralist tour guide, she quickly realized that the one she had just picked up had indeed been dried.
He gave the herder guide an apologetic smile, then excitedly lay on the ground to search.
Seeing this, others quickly followed suit.
Although with Zhou Yu's wealth, it is not difficult for him to eat Cordyceps as a meal.
But this kind of personal experience cannot be bought no matter how much money is spent.
However, the idea was good, but after actually starting to look for it, Zhou Yu realized that it was not an easy task.
If people lie on the ground and stare at the soil and grass for a long time, they will easily feel dizzy.
Fortunately, everyone was in high spirits and no one chose to give up.
It’s just that the frequency of people rubbing their eyes is getting higher and higher.
I don’t know if everyone’s luck had run out or if there were only so few Cordyceps. Everyone lay on the ground searching for more than half an hour, but found nothing.
As the little girl gave up on her own initiative, everyone except the herder tour guide lost the motivation to continue searching.
"Oh, no, this is not a job for humans at all."
The little fat boy Li Tai just stood up and couldn't help complaining, but before he could finish his sentence, he was kicked on the butt.
When I turned around, I saw my father rubbing his waist and glaring at me.
Before the little fat boy could figure out what was going on, the clever Li Chengqian turned around and came to the herdsman guide to apologize, saying, "My brother may have been a little outspoken, please forgive me."
"Haha, it's okay. Not only you, but even many of us locals can't bear this hardship."
When the pastoralist tour guide heard Li Chengqian's apology, he did not take Li Tai's words seriously, but waved his hand indifferently.
As a part-time tour guide, he has met all kinds of travelers.
Compared to those passengers who spoke rudely and were difficult to serve, Zhou Yu and others were already the best.
Although there were quite a few children in the team, I didn't see any naughty kids.
This alone proves that Zhou Yu and his group have good family education.
Besides, the tour guide fees Zhou Yu paid him were among the highest in the industry.
He now even felt a little annoyed that he couldn't find more Cordyceps.
Compared to the annoyance of the pastoralist tour guide, Zhou Yu and others seemed very calm.
Although they were looking for Cordyceps, they didn't have to find it.
To be precise, their visit to Kangding this time was more concerned with the process of finding Cordyceps.
After all, as long as they want it, even if they are worried that they can’t buy real Cordyceps in modern times, they can wait for Lu Dongzan to deliver the Tibetan Cordyceps to their door.
Just when Zhou Yu was hesitating whether to continue staying here, he suddenly heard chirping sounds coming from not far away.
He turned his head in confusion and saw several groundhogs standing up on the hillside not far away, looking at him.
"Little Nianjun, it's those groundhogs. They actually found their way here."
Just as Zhou Yu was puzzled, the little kid, who had a lost look on his face, ran excitedly towards the group of groundhogs.
As for Cordyceps, I don’t have the time to dig it now.
After hearing the reminder from the little girl, Zhou Yu finally came back to his senses.
Zhou Yu quickly followed the little kid to the groundhog. His mood improved a lot because he hadn't had any harvest for a long time.
Seeing Zhou Yu approaching, the groundhog, which was originally standing there with its front paws clenched, immediately lowered its body and ran towards him.
Chirp~Chirp~
