Chapter 45: Collecting Herbs in the Mountains



Of course, she was completely unaware of the small battle that had arisen over the delicious food that Gu Zhenqi had mailed to Chen Kuo!

At this moment, she was handing a letter containing handwritten letters from her and her children and photos of her, Wang Guiying, Rui Duo and Fei An to the postman.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Gu Zhenqi said politely.

"Comrade Gu Zhenqi, you're welcome. This is my job." The postman replied politely and rode away on his bicycle.

This time, the letter was written by her, Ruiduo, and Fei'an together, just like the first time. It also contained a small wild flower that Ruiduo had dried as a gift to her father, and a small marble that Fei'an liked.

"Mom, will Dad like the gifts my brother and I gave him?"

Ruiduo asked a little nervously.

“I’ll love it very much!”

Gu Zhenqi was right. More than ten days later, when Chen Kuo received the letter he had been thinking about and saw the photo, his impression of Gu Zhenqi became clearer. She was even more beautiful than he had expected!

Together with the gifts given by my daughter and son, I hid in the room and laughed like an idiot all night!

He put the photo against his chest and took it out to look at it whenever he had time, and he never took it out at night.

These! Later, Gu Zhenqi also found out!

Time passed as Gu Zhenqi accompanied Ruiduo and Fei'an in their growth and took them to explore nature...

Sometimes it's too hot to go out for too long. She continued to cook for the whole family.

Every ten days, while Ruiduo, Fei'an and the whole family were asleep, he would secretly go out to the county town to deliver goods to Wang Debiao.

Fei'an takes Ruiduo back to her parents' home for five days in a month.

Before we knew it, it was mid-September, the busy farming and autumn harvest season.

Just after delivering the goods to Wang Debiao that day, he called me and said, "Brother, can you get ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, and wild medicinal herbs? I'm from Kyoto, and my friend who runs a Chinese medicine clinic needs them. I can take any quantity, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the price!"

Wild medicinal herbs, such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, are available in Gu Zhenqi's space. Moreover, villagers who have headaches, fevers, or other illnesses all go into the mountains to collect herbs themselves.

As far as she knows, there are more than twenty kinds of wild medicinal herbs on the mountain, including ginseng, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many ginseng pickers.

After thinking about this, he looked at Wang Debiao and said, "Okay, I'll go back and take a look. I'll give it to you next time."

Seeing that he agreed, Wang Debiao knew there was a chance, and he happily sent Gu Zhenqi away.

After dinner in the evening, Chen Guo went to supervise Chen Xiao and Chen Zhizhi doing their homework!

It was really just supervision, because the two children knew Chen Guo through their homework, but Chen Guo didn't know them.

Chen Qiang took advantage of the night and said he wanted to try his luck in the mountains. In his words, he wanted to see if there was a rabbit in the dark that could not be seen and hit the tree!

Gu Zhenqi frowned on the spot. Rabbits have night vision, but Chen Qiang doesn't. It's obvious that the rabbit and he are more likely to hit the tree!

In fact, everyone just heard that after the incident, Chen Qiang actually went to chat with the men in the village.

I was worried that Fan Chun would not allow it, so I told such an outrageous lie.

It’s not Chen Qiang’s fault. He ran away right after dinner because he was really a little exhausted recently.

Fan Chun has been married to him for several years, but she has never been able to conceive a child. Recently, Fan Chun has fallen in love with Rui Duo and Fei An, and likes them very much.

She thought that since Chen Qiang and Chen Kuo were brothers, the child she, Chen Qiang, would give birth to would definitely be as cute as Rui Duo and Fei An!

Thinking about it, she couldn't suppress her impulse, and at night she pulled Chen Qiang to make love with him.

After a whole day's work, Chen Qiang was already exhausted. He finally got a rest, feeling tired. Then he had to do some hard work in the evening. He said it was a happy and tiring experience.

After a week, he could no longer bear the physical strain and his legs were almost shaking when he walked.

So when he got the chance, he would run away without giving Fan Chun a chance to say a word.

At this time, Wang Guiying, Gu Zhenqi, Ge Yun, and Fan Chun, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were enjoying the cool air in the yard, while Rui Duo and Fei An were chasing crickets in the yard.

Fan Chun's displeasure was clearly visible on her face. Ge Yun comforted her, "Don't rush about the child. You've had this child for so many years. It's not something you can just worry about. Relax!"

Wang Guiying said, "No, wait until the autumn harvest is over, and then you two go to the county hospital for a checkup. If there is any problem, it will be impossible to find out even if you try."

What Wang Guiying said was what Gu Zhenqi wanted to say, but what she said was not as appropriate as what her mother-in-law said.

When Fan Chun heard this, his already bad mood became even worse. If he was found to have a problem with himself after a check-up, how would he cope with the situation?

Then, isn't it a joke that she has been chasing Chen Qiang for a child all this time?

"I don't want to go, let me talk to you later!"

Although Fan Chun was trying to suppress his emotions, he was clearly too excited.

Gu Zhenqi has something else to ask, and if we continue, we'll get off topic.

"Mother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, do you know which mountain has more herbs? Which mountain do ginseng collectors like to go to every year?"

"Zhenqi, why do you suddenly ask this?" Wang Guiying, Ge Yun, and Fan Chun, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, said in unison.

"I went back to my parents' home and heard from my mother that there are people collecting wild herbs and ginseng. The weather is getting cooler, so I want to go and look for some. How much can I sell to help support my family?"

"There are insects on the mountain, wild boars, tigers, wolves, and black bears. They might jump out anytime. Zhenqi, don't go into the mountain. It's too dangerous!" Wang Guiying dissuaded directly.

Ge Yun dissuaded him, "Mother is right! Besides, Ruiduo and Fei'an are too young. If they run into danger, you three won't be able to escape in time."

Upon hearing this, Fan Chun said directly: "No, don't go. We can't let Ruiduo and Fei'an take risks!"

Gu Zhenqi understood their concerns very well. She was not afraid. There was a powerful anesthetic gun in the space, she had her own skills, and the insect repellent sachet was also very effective.

There is no danger for her to go into the mountains. If it really doesn't work, she can take Ruiduo and Fei'an into the space.

While Ruiduo and Fei'an were fast asleep, she had tested that she could take them in and out of the space freely.

She couldn't tell them about this, so she changed her words: "I'll ask, and then let my brother and the others go to collect herbs!"

Gu Zhenqi's words made them put their minds at ease, and they told her everything they knew without reservation.

next day

After Wang Guiying and the others went down to the fields, Gu Zhenqi helped Ruiduo and Fei'an to protect themselves, and walked into the mountains holding one in each hand.

Gu Zhenqi started his exploration on the first day from the village where he lived and the nearby mountains.

Starting tomorrow, when they go to the dangerous forest, she plans to put Ruiduo and Fei'an into the space.

She no longer had to hold herself back and started to do something big.

Now she has earned more than 7,000 yuan from the black market. She deducts most of the money from old items every time and receives less in cash.

Adding the 8,880 yuan thank-you payment from Mr. Su, the total amount was less than 20,000 yuan. Gu Zhenqi wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make another fortune!

When winter comes, I can spend the winter with Ruiduo and Feian with peace of mind, and then cook delicious food for Chen Kuo and mail it to him.

Gu Zhenqi made use of the convenient space and was very efficient. In half a day, he had conquered most of the mountain.

She did not collect all of them, but left some for the villagers, because they had to go to the mountains to collect herbs for treatment, and they had no money to go to the town or county to buy medicine.

Gu Zhenqi has his own principles in doing things. He gets things in a proper way and will never monopolize everything!

At night, after Ruiduo and Fei'an fell asleep, Gu Zhenqi entered the space again to count the day's gains.

There are 22 kinds of wild herbs, weighing a total of 223 kilograms, including 3 100-year-old ginsengs, 15 50-60-year-old ginsengs, and 52 ginsengs under 50 years old.

In addition, Gu Zhenqi also collected ripe wild fruits, pine nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts... and saved them for the winter.

Pheasants, hares... Gu Zhenqi collected half and kept the other half.
