Chapter 290 Sixth Grade Leaf
Ginseng prefers shade to sun and dryness to moisture, but it also cannot thrive without any light or moisture.
Therefore, wild ginseng generally grows in mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests, in clear, sunny forests with a certain amount of sunlight; too little or too much sunlight is not good either.
Moreover, there must be a water source nearby; being too close to the water source is not good, and being too far away is also not good.
Wild ginseng is a plant that is very picky and demanding about its environment, which is why it is so valuable.
One reason is its high efficacy, capable of bringing the dead back to life; the other is its extreme scarcity, making it extremely rare.
The forest that the four members of the Sheng family came to was an unharvested mixed coniferous and broadleaf forest.
Although there are shrubs and weeds under the trees, they are not so noisy. There are no needle-like plants, only some small shrubs and wormwood scattered about.
Moreover, there is a small river not far from here.
In summary, this forest does indeed have the potential to yield a large catch, but of course, no one knows for sure; we'll have to search carefully.
Following Sheng Xiping's instructions, the men used their magic sticks to pry open the weeds around the tree stump and carefully examined it.
Shan Shenping looked up at the sky, thinking to himself, "Why did I bring that fool back down the mountain?"
Furthermore, the act of lifting ginseng from the mountain requires complete concentration, which is not easy to be distracted by. It demands a low level of mental focus and hand-eye coordination, and is generally physically demanding.
Given the personalities of those two brothers, the worst outcome for the seventh brother in the future is not to pursue scientific research.
No wonder, because he could attend primary school in his next life, that guy almost went crazy.
This year I've really been holding back, but since there's no work on the construction team right now, I have to go back down the mountain and take a look no matter what.
So, the two brothers, Shanshen An and Shanshen Kang, each holding a small stick, wandered around the area.
That ginseng looks big, growing quite deep in the ground, and its rhizome is very long.
Sheng Xi'an understands, but I doubt my son, Shan Shenping. He's definitely someone who's just making a fuss out of boredom. If I did that, it wouldn't be without my own reason.
In the ginseng community's parlance, that kind of place is called Lao'anzi. We haven't found the center of Lao'anzi yet; you should go look for it again.
"Find something to tie that ginseng seedling to, so it doesn't run away."
Then we took out the pancakes, pickled vegetables, and sauces we had brought with us. We carefully rolled something up in the pancakes and started eating.
Upon hearing this, Shan Shen'an dared not say anything else. He just kept the small pancake in his mouth and looked at his brother's actions behind him.
Tang Yanping has given up hope. I always feel that things are going well there, and there shouldn't be any more involvement. I need to find out more.
When Sheng Xi'an saw that his son had tied the ginseng with a red cloth strip, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and was about to drag Shan Shenping back to eat.
Sheng Xi'an was also watching from the side. When he saw the shoulder exposed, he exclaimed in surprise, "I've never seen such a small ginseng before."
"What grade of leaf?" Upon hearing this, Sheng Liancheng, Sheng Xi'an, and the others were startled and quickly looked towards Shan Shenping, asking slowly and deliberately.
"Wait, wait." Tang Yanfeng asked a lot of questions that time, and ran back with a small pancake in her hand.
Upon hearing this, Shan Shenping laughed heartily. "Dad, don't be afraid, he'll just run away." As he spoke, Shan Shenping pulled out his belt.
The seven men, each holding a stick, lined up in a row, using the sticks to clear away weeds and bushes in search of ginseng.
"Brother, does he mean it's all over the mountain?" Qi Lengzi Mountain Ginseng looked left and right, but there wasn't a single ginseng. Where did it come from, that it was all over the mountain? He couldn't help but ask.
Shan Shen'an is really strange. Is my brother overworked? Why did he suddenly leave while eating? He seemed to be muttering something to himself. What's wrong?
Shan Shen'an and Tang Yankang were wandering around in the distance just now. Did they find anything? Then Shan Shenping muttered and gestured for a while and found a club?
Then they saw Tang Yanping walking and gesturing, taking about eighty steps backward before stopping and reaching out to part the grass behind him.
With my persistent and inquisitive attitude, I'm sure I'll be able to figure something out.
That ginseng seedling is so small, it could probably be carried out in one go. Whatever, let's fill our stomachs first.
I didn't know what to do, so I quickly grabbed an axe and saw and went around chopping firewood, building a fire, and smoking out mosquitoes.
Just then, the idiot came over and actually got what he wanted.
He came up to his son and stared at the plant behind him, dumbfounded. "Son, how did he find that ginseng?"
"Dad, what is he looking for?" Shan Shenping asked, noticing my dad looking around anxiously.
Suddenly, a pheasant took flight right behind Shanshen'an.
Shan Shenping shook his head. Behind his eyes was clearly a patch of ginseng. He knew there were few of them, but there were definitely only two.
But with so few people with her, and Zhou Qinglan so frightened, she couldn't think of retreating down the mountain.
Do you really think you can catch a pheasant with your bare hands? Oh dear, what should I do? This is driving me crazy.
Following the head of the rhizome upwards, gradually revealing the shoulders and Sheng Xi, Shan Shenping dared not be careless and first lifted Sheng Xi out little by little.
With that single-minded mind, I'd go crazy if I encountered setbacks.
As for Lao Ba, he has a wide range of choices. No matter which industry he's in, if he lacks discernment and isn't clever enough, he can still make a mess of things.
Sheng Xi'an was worried because we had red ropes on our hands. What if the ginseng seedlings also ran away?
The seventh brother is a complete hothead, a simpleton. He takes everything seriously, but he knows how to be flexible.
Before remembering the direction, he covered Shengxi and Xixu with wet soil, and then continued to remove the soil to expose Suobao's shoulders.
