Feng Dachun lived in the production team for twenty or thirty years, and followed his grandfather into the mountains to dig ginseng since he was a child.
Therefore, she is very familiar with the situation in the mountains.
Leading Li Jinfeng up the mountain from the small path, there was fog on the mountain, and it was gray. If it weren't for an old hand like Feng Dachun, it would probably not be easy to climb the mountain by walking on the main road.
"This is the path we ginseng diggers take. When you reach the mountainside, change to another path and walk for about an hour. If you're lucky, you'll find ginseng!"
Along the way, Feng Dachun kept explaining to Li Jinfeng that digging ginseng requires luck.
If you are lucky, you may be able to get ginseng that is not only a few years old, but even hundreds of years old.
Li Jinfeng followed Feng Dachun calmly. Just as Feng Dachun said, even if she couldn't find ginseng, it would be good to go out and see the world.
"Sister Dachun, when did you dig up the oldest ginseng?" Li Jinfeng asked.
"That happened when I was seven or eight years old. I grew ginseng for seven years! My grandfather was still alive at that time, and he took me into the mountains every day. And at that time, no one stopped us from going up the mountain to dig ginseng. There were so many people who followed us!"
When talking about his past, Feng Dachun's smile never stopped.
Li Jinfeng also found it magical when she heard it.
He followed Feng Dachun all the way, occasionally observing his surroundings.
At first, it was just a simple mountain road. Gradually, the two people entered the forest. The forest became denser and denser, and even the sunlight could not penetrate.
Fortunately, it was Feng Dachun who led the way, otherwise Li Jinfeng might really be scared. After all, she was an unfamiliar place here.
The two of them walked on the mountain road for almost three hours from the beginning to now.
"Sister Jinfeng, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest? The road in the mountains is difficult to walk on, and the place where ginseng may be grown is far away." Feng Dachun said.
Li Jinfeng was indeed a little tired.
The two men found a big tree with a wide view and sat beside the trunk to rest.
While resting, he took out his water bottle and food from the bamboo backpack he carried with him.
The pancakes Feng Dachun prepared in the morning could barely fill his stomach with water.
After eating and drinking and having a good rest, Li Jinfeng and Feng Dachun continued walking.
This time, it took nearly an hour.
Just when Li Jinfeng thought there was still a long way to go, Feng Dachun suddenly stopped.
On a slope, Feng Dachun stared at a plant for several seconds.
He turned around and made a gesture to Li Jinfeng to keep quiet.
Li Jinfeng knew that Feng Dachun had seen ginseng.
Along the way, Feng Dachun told Li Jinfeng that when encountering ginseng, remember not to make any noise, but to stay quiet and watch from the side.
As for the task of digging ginseng, it was left to Feng Dachun himself.
Li Jinfeng stared at the ginseng, but just by looking at the leaves, she couldn't see anything special about it.
But this seemingly simple thing has great effects.
Li Jinfeng has never been willing to eat even half a root of the ginseng she got.
It's because it's too precious.
While she was thinking, Feng Dachun had already knelt down and bowed to the ginseng he had found.
She inserted two wooden sticks about twenty centimeters away from the ginseng leaves, and then tied a red rope to the ginseng.
Li Jinfeng held her breath and watched Feng Dachun carefully take out the tools he had brought with him one by one.
Next, it’s time to dig ginseng.
