Chapter 126 Polygonum multiflorum
"Hey, this vine looks like Polygonum multiflorum!"
When he arrived at the inner area of the forest, Zhou Ziwen suddenly made a surprising discovery.
However, his medical skills were still too low. Although he found a cluster of plants that looked somewhat like Polygonum multiflorum, he was not very sure.
"Dig it out!"
Zhou Ziwen is a man of action. He will know whether it is Polygonum multiflorum by digging it up and taking a look.
Because he didn't bring a hoe, he simply used an axe to dig. Even if the axe became blunt, he could just go back and sharpen it.
Soon, he used an axe to dig down along the root system of the plant that looked a bit like Polygonum multiflorum. After a while, he dug out a big hole, and the things under the root system were revealed.
He guessed correctly, this thing was indeed Polygonum multiflorum, but this Polygonum multiflorum was not big, only as thick as an adult's wrist and as long as a palm.
"If I sell this thing, I should be able to get dozens of dollars!" Zhou Ziwen looked happy.
Of course, it is impossible to sell it. The Polygonum multiflorum in his hand is at least more than 30 years old.
This thing has many benefits. It can not only nourish the liver and kidneys, and improve the essence and blood, but also promote hair growth, blacken hair, and strengthen tendons and bones.
Long-term use can also prolong life.
It is probably difficult to buy Polygonum multiflorum of this age outside.
Even if you can buy it, the price is not cheap.
He plans to send this Polygonum multiflorum back to his family for his parents to eat. Eating it for a long time will be good for their health.
This is also the thought of him as a son.
After all, he was spoiled by his parents since he was a child. This time when he went to the countryside, his family gave him money and prepared things for him, and most of the family assets were emptied out.
Zhou Ziwen is not an ungrateful person. When he has the chance, he also wants to give back.
Unable to show filial piety to them, the only thing he could do was to make them healthier.
After digging out the Polygonum multiflorum, Zhou Ziwen searched the area nearby to see if there were any other herbs. Unfortunately, his luck seemed to have run out. There were only some weeds around, and no herbs at all.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziwen stopped looking and went straight to the place where he found the wild pepper last time.
After this period of growth, the wild pepper has grown a little bit. Although it is not fully mature, it can be used.
Zhou Ziwen picked some and planned to take them back to use first. As for the rest, he would wait until they were ripe.
The purpose of coming to the mountain was achieved, and there were unexpected gains. Zhou Ziwen was not planning to stay here any longer.
He found a dead tree nearby, cut it down, and then carried it down the mountain, ready to go home.
Today's trip up the mountain was very rewarding for Zhou Ziwen.
He felt that in the future he could go for a walk in the mountains often whenever he had time, and if he was lucky, he might get some unexpected gains.
Just like this time, not to mention anything else, just one Polygonum multiflorum is almost equivalent to the work he did in the production team for half a year.
"Brother Ziwen, are you back?"
Zhou Ziwen was carrying the tree and just arrived at the door of his house. Before he even entered, Chen Qiaoyi inside had sharp eyes and spotted him immediately.
"Well, I'll go deal with this firewood first, and then I'll show you something good."
Zhou Ziwen is not the type to hide things. When he encounters something happy, he prefers to share it with those close to him.
It’s better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone!
"What good stuff?" Hearing this, Chen Qiaoyi couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Haha, let's keep it a secret for now. You'll know later!" Zhou Ziwen laughed, leaving a suspense.
"Oh, Brother Ziwen is so mean. He aroused my curiosity but didn't tell me the answer." Chen Qiaoyi pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
"Who made you so curious?" Chen Shiying said unhappily.
"I can't help it. I guess Brother Ziwen must have caught prey again." Chen Qiaoyi's eyes turned and she couldn't help but guess.
"I guess so. Brother Zhou is so powerful, so catching wild game is easy for him." Zhou Chaoyang next to him also nodded.
Even Chen Shiying felt that Zhou Ziwen must have gotten the game, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy.
While they were guessing, Zhou Ziwen was already dealing with the dead trees he had cut down.
As for the method of dealing with it, he usually cuts it hard.
Anyway, chopping wood was not difficult for him, it just took some time to use the axe.
This newly bought axe has not been used for long, but it has already been sharpened many times.
"Looks like I can buy a saw now."
Although hard chopping is exciting, it is also a bit tiring.
Having a saw can save a lot of time.
It just so happened that he was planning to build a few water tanks and needed to prepare a set of tools commonly used by stonemasons.
When I was working in the stonemason group, I could borrow things from the production team. Now that I've left the group, it's not easy to borrow things from the production team.
Since I will be using it frequently anyway, I might as well buy myself a set.
Half an hour later, Zhou Ziwen finally chopped the firewood into pieces.
He skillfully placed the firewood under the eaves in the Chen sisters' yard, where their family piled firewood.
After a period of hard work, the eaves of their house have been piled up halfway, and with more effort it will be full.
With this firewood, getting through this winter will not be a problem.
But this alone is not enough. After all, he also has to survive the winter, and he also needs to prepare firewood for his own home.
Although with his physical condition, he could survive the winter even without firewood.
But he can bear it, but his house can’t!
If you don't prepare firewood, after it snows, not only the house but also the quilt will be wet.
He refused to cover himself with a wet blanket.
What's more, the autumn harvest will be here soon, and he plans to hold a wedding banquet at that time to marry the younger sister of the Chen family.
The reason for waiting until after the autumn harvest is because everyone is relatively free at that time, the production teams are on holiday, and the villagers have time to hold a lively wedding.
If it weren't for this, he would have married this girl long ago.
By the way, he hasn't informed his family about his marriage yet.
The last letter he sent back only said that he had found a partner, but did not mention marriage.
According to the time, the reply letter from home should have arrived, but I don’t know when it will arrive.
After finishing his work, Zhou Ziwen returned to his yard.
"Brother Ziwen, what are you holding in your hand?"
As soon as she entered the door, Chen Qiaoyi set her eyes on the thing in Zhou Ziwen's hand.
"Haha, this is good stuff. You've heard of Polygonum multiflorum, right? This is it." Zhou Ziwen held up the Polygonum multiflorum in his hand that looked like a sweet potato.
"Polygonum multiflorum?" Chen Qiaoyi's mind was full of question marks. She was not familiar with medicinal herbs. Of course, because of the value of Polygonum multiflorum, although she had never seen it, she had heard of the name.
"Brother Zhou, did you get some Polygonum multiflorum? That's a good thing!"
Zhou Chaoyang is knowledgeable and understands its value better than others.
"Haha, you are an expert." Zhou Ziwen praised.
