Qin Fang, "Okay, if we catch a rabbit or a pheasant, we can roast it on the mountain and bring all the seasonings with us."
Lin Qiaoqiao had more ideas about going up the mountain. If she could find medicinal herbs, wouldn't she be able to make a small fortune?
Then he thought again, it seemed that he only knew a few kinds of medicinal herbs, and he didn't have any suitable tools. Besides, medicinal herbs also needed to be cooked to meet the requirements for purchase. In short, it was more troublesome than making clothes and writing manuscripts. It seemed that he could only think about it.
However, if she could dig up some ginseng, she could sell it directly for money. Of course, she could only think about it. There was no such good thing as she was not a lucky person.
While he was building up his mental self, he packed up his things and locked the door. Qin Fang was responsible for holding the tool rope. He did not go out of the village, but turned right after going out. The other fork in the road was the way up the mountain, which was the path he passed every time he went to school.
With Qin Fang leading the way, Lin Qiaoqiao only needed to take care of the two children. She was in a good mood and felt that she could get something good today.
Qin Fang did not go directly to the mountain behind Rona's house, but went to the hill where he could hunt prey when he was a child. That place was his secret base. I wonder if anyone has discovered it over the years.
It was half an hour later when we arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Qin Fang saw that his younger brother and sister looked okay. Lin Qiaoqiao's face was a little red, but her breathing was even and she wasn't out of breath. Her recent weight loss was effective and she looked like she had lost at least 20 pounds.
A woman's weight is really interesting. She can be thin or fat as she wants. He has completely experienced this.
"Rest here for 10 minutes, then we'll go up again."
Lin Qiaoqiao looked at the small hill in front of her. Compared with the big mountain on the left, it was not small at all. To call it a mountain was an exaggeration. It felt like a small dirt slope.
"Can there be prey here?"
Qin Fang, "I think so! I haven't been here for a long time. There are a lot of pheasants and rabbits here. My grandfather brought me here when I was a child. He said that although this mountain is ordinary, it has some good things. My grandfather got several ginseng roots from this mountain and cured my father's illness."
When Lin Qiaoqiao heard that ginseng really was grown on this mountain, it coincided with her thoughts before setting out. She thought to herself that maybe there would really be a harvest today.
But it's just a thought, who knows if her luck will be good today?
I gave the two kids some water and they drank a sip each. Bring two water bottles with you. Don’t drink too much because you’ll be on the mountain for most of the day!
Setting out again, the road ahead was not so easy to walk on, so Qin Fang held a sickle and led the way.
Snakes don't tend to appear on the mountain in August, but we still had to be careful and walked for another seven or eight minutes.
Qin Fang found that not many people came here. He had seen hares and pheasants running past him several times. The surrounding trees were relatively far away and the place was relatively empty, so he stopped here.
"I'm going to set up some traps and see if I can get anything!"
"Okay!" Lin Qiaoqiao took off her backpack, took out an old bed sheet from it, and then with Qin Ling's help, she spread the bed sheet on the ground.
She pressed the surrounding area with stones so that she could lie down or sit to rest. There were fine weeds under the sheets, and of course there were small ants, so she sprinkled some medicine powder under the sheets. It was in a small bottle and had no name. She bought it from the supply and marketing cooperative and it was said to be able to repel insects.
Lin Qiaoqiao sat down and rested for a while. There was relatively open space around her so she didn't have to worry about a snake falling from the tree. There was also plenty of sunlight so she could bask in the sun.
When Qin Fang came back again, he was holding a rabbit in his hand, a fat and big black rabbit.
"Is it the place where its color is exposed?" Lin Qiaoqiao had never seen a real pure black rabbit, but she finally saw one today. This rabbit was really black, just like a pure black cat.
"I guess so!" Qin Fang tied the rabbit's legs and feet with a rope. When he was setting the trap, he found the rabbit hole and caught the rabbit with a little trick.
Lin Qiaoqiao leaned over to take a look and felt that the rabbit was begging for mercy. She touched its belly and felt that there was life inside.
"This rabbit is pregnant and will give birth soon."
"Yeah, I discovered it too, otherwise I wouldn't have caught it alive." Qin Fang thought of the eight rabbits at home. His younger brothers and sisters took good care of them, so this litter should be no problem either.
Besides, no matter what you breed, it is best not to breed inbreeding, so that two litters of rabbits can breed, and then they don’t have to go up the mountain in winter and have rabbit meat to eat.
Lin Qiaoqiao touched the rabbit's head to comfort it. At this moment, she noticed that there seemed to be a few ginseng leaves about seven or eight meters away.
She felt that it looked a bit like ginseng, so she walked over to take a closer look and found that they were indeed ginseng leaves, one of which was light golden in color, which meant that it was an old ginseng.
This is really what you want, she shouted to Qin Fang,
"Come here."
Qin Fang walked over with a few big strides. When he saw the leaves on the ground, he was stunned at first, but then he realized what was going on.
“Is this ginseng?”
"Yes, and this one with golden leaves should be old ginseng, the kind with a very long age."
"Let me dig!" Qin Fang took out gloves and a dagger from his pocket. These were the things that had accompanied him for many years.
Lin Qiaoqiao didn't know how to dig ginseng, so she just stood aside and watched. She felt that there were at least two or three ginseng plants, especially the one with golden leaves, which was definitely a big one.
I have to say that digging ginseng is a meticulous job. Watching Qin Fang digging little by little, half an hour had passed since the first ginseng was dug out.
In this way, more than two hours passed unknowingly. During this time, she took her child to the toilet and also went to the toilet herself.
As a result, they also picked up a nest of pheasant eggs, about a dozen of them, and put them in the cloth bag they brought. So far, they have had a good harvest.
It was almost noon when the ginseng was completely dug. Qin Fang was sweating profusely at this moment. He put the last big ginseng into his clothes and wrapped it up. This was the simplest way to preserve it. In fact, it was best to have a wooden box to store ginseng, but there was none now! He could only make do with it like this.
Looking over there, wow, they have already started eating.
Knowing that he was going up the mountain, he specially made some flatbreads without oil, and added a little soybean paste and green onions, so that he could have a simple meal.
He walked over and sat down next to them, and the rolled pancake was handed to him. He immediately took it in his hands. It felt warm and very comfortable.
Seeing that his face was covered in sweat, Lin Qiaoqiao took out a towel and wiped it for him.
"I came here to hunt, but ended up digging up ginseng. Are we getting rich?"
