When I saw a plant in front of me with three petioles, oval leaves, a stem in the middle, and a bud as emerald green as chives, my eyes lit up.
Yang Chunyan hurriedly took a few steps forward and looked at the seven fluffy leaves on each branch. She said in surprise, "So there are Panax notoginseng here now!"
In her previous life, she dug up five wild Panax notoginsengs in a big pit and sent them to Wang Zhen. He said that the experts said that wild Panax notoginsengs were extinct, but he didn't expect that you would dig up a few of them. They looked to be quite old.
At that time, he also laughed at those experts who sat in the office all day long. Some of them had not even conducted any investigation, but made conclusions based on the data reported by others. They were out of touch with the real world.
Panax notoginseng: A perennial upright herb of the genus Panax in the Araliaceae family. The stem is dark green and can reach 60 cm in height. The flowers are green when young, and the fruits are red, flattened, kidney-shaped when ripe, with a spindle-shaped fleshy taproot.
The rhizome and fleshy root are precious Chinese medicines with the effects of stopping bleeding, removing blood stasis, relieving inflammation and pain, and nourishing the body. They are the main medicines for treating injuries from falls.
Panax notoginseng: sweet and slightly bitter, warm in nature. It has two main functions: one is to stop bleeding; the other is to disperse blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain.
Panax notoginseng flower: It is sweet and cool in nature, and has the effects of clearing heat, calming the liver, and lowering blood pressure. The leaves also have the effect of clearing heat.
Yang Chunyan counted them and found that there were only about thirty or forty trees growing sparsely in the forest. She did not plan to dig up these Panax notoginseng now. She thought that she would wait for another two or three months, collect the seeds and scatter them in the forest, and then she would have time to pick the flowers next month and then dig them up.
Because Panax notoginseng is divided into spring Panax notoginseng and winter Panax notoginseng, the spring Panax notoginseng is the tuber dug up after picking off the Panax notoginseng flowers, which is round and full and has good medicinal effects.
The tubers of Panax notoginseng are dug up after the seeds are collected. The nutrients in the main roots of Panax notoginseng that have grown the seeds are all supplied to the seeds. The dug out tubers are dry and not full, and their medicinal efficacy is greatly reduced.
After Yang Chunyan looked around, she pulled up a few trumpet mushrooms under the dead leaves and grass, and pulled aside the dead leaves that the mushrooms were holding up. A morel appeared in front of her. She happily picked it up, bent her body and scanned with her eyes like a radar. There was another one in front of her...
Next, it was like entering someone’s planting base. The basket was almost full before it ran out of food.
She walked down the slope and saw that except for the inedible white cap, white cap, Amanita phalloides and the beautiful purple mushrooms, all the other fungi had been swept away by the children.
Yang Chunyan also saw several hop mushrooms, which contain neuropsychiatric toxins that can lower blood pressure, slow heart rate, cause vomiting and diarrhea, and can also cause pupil constriction.
Seeing her coming, Zhou Xiaoqian pointed to the basket and said, "Aunt, we picked up a lot of chicken mushrooms and red mushrooms!"
Seeing that the baskets of several people were almost full, Yang Chunyan praised them, "Great job!" After thinking about it, she reminded the children, "When picking mushrooms, if you see a place with deep grass, be sure to knock it before you go over."
Zhou Xiaoqian nodded, "Just now, Jiakang hit the azalea a few times, and then he saw a small snake as big as a little finger slithering away. He was scared. Fortunately, he hit it first before it passed."
Yang Chunyan: "Yes, if you don't hit it, it will think you want to catch it, and it will bite you, which will be troublesome."
"It's time to eat yellow mushrooms. There are a lot of yellow mushrooms over there. They're very sweet!" Zhou Jiaming came over with a basket. There were a lot of yellow mushrooms on the leaves above the mushrooms.
Yang Chunyan asked curiously, "There are still yellow bubbles these two days?"
Zhou Jiaming nodded and pointed behind him and said, "There's a patch over there. We picked some."
Zhou Xiaoqian stepped forward to take a look and said, "It's not dark yet. It will be sweet when it turns dark!"
"It's good to have something to eat. Even this is long gone up there. Maybe this is the only place left these days." Zhou Jiaming said as he grabbed a handful and gave it to Yang Chunyan. "Eat it, Auntie. It's so sweet!"
"Hmm!" Yang Chunyan poured a few into her mouth. It tasted sour and sweet and was quite good. "It's delicious and quenches my thirst."
Huangpaoer is a good thing. According to the Compendium of Materia Medica and other Chinese medicine documents, it has a sweet, flat taste, is non-toxic, and is beneficial to the kidneys, consolidating essence, reducing urine, and strengthening yang.
Zhou Jialiang came out carrying a basket, "What time is it, Auntie? I'm a little hungry."
Yang Chunyan looked at the time. It was already eleven o'clock. She had been out for more than two hours without realizing it. "If you're hungry, let's go home. Your father and the others should be back soon."
"Oh oh!" Several children carried their small baskets on their backs, "Auntie, what mushrooms did you pick?"
Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "Aunt picked up some morels!"
Zhou Jiakang carried a small basket and said, "Aunt Yao, shall we still have lunch at your house today?"
Yang Chunyan stroked him and said, "Do you want to eat at my house?"
"Yes! I want to eat braised pork intestines and spicy rabbit." Zhou Jiakang said as he swallowed his saliva.
Zhou Xiaoqian patted him and said, "Why are you so greedy? You almost drooled as you said that."
Zhou Xiaoru nodded, "Our greedy cat is Jiakang, he's as delicious as a piglet!"
"Hmph!" Zhou Jiakang didn't dare to provoke Zhou Xiaoqian, but he dared to provoke Zhou Xiaoru. He glared at her, then carried his backpack and left with Zhou Jiaming.
When they got home, Zhou's mother had already started cooking. Seeing her come back, she waved to her. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the kitchen. "The third brother came to introduce a boyfriend to Yumei. The guy is the son of their brigade secretary. I want to talk to Yumei and ask her to go and see him. What do you think?"
Yang Chunyan thought for a moment and said, "I think you should ask someone to find out first, and then tell Sister Yumei."
"Okay!" Zhou's mother agreed and said, "I've hired three people to start work tomorrow."
"Okay! Just do whatever you want. I'll go see Xiao Jiuer first."
Yang Chunyan washed her hands, fed the child, and then went to help wash the mushrooms. She waited for Zhou Huaian and others to arrive, and was busy until after eleven o'clock before she took a break.
Yang Xiaoxue and several other families also went to various places to collect mushrooms and brought them back to sell to them. Red mushrooms were continuously delivered to Yang Chunyan's home. After hiring three people, they hired two more helpers, and everyone felt a little more relaxed.
Busy days always go by quickly, and it seems like half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
That day, Zhou Huaian came back from Ning'an and handed a piece of paper to Yang Chunyan, "The hotel has been renovated and will open the day after tomorrow. Wang Zhen has thought of three names. Which one do you think is good?"
Yang Chunyan took it and looked at it. "Ning'an Hotel, Tongxin Hotel, Ping An." She smiled and said, "I think Ning'an is very good!"
Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "Perfect, the three of us all think Ning An is the best. I will tell Wang Zhen tomorrow."
Yang Chunyan suddenly remembered something, "Go tell my mother and husband, I forgot to tell them about the museum because I was so busy."
"I'll go tell them!" Zhou Huaian took two steps and turned back. "Wang Zhen said that the provincial capital called and said that the red mushrooms sent by the big pharmacy have been received by the people in the provincial capital. It looks like they will start receiving them too."
Yang Chunyan felt like the other shoe had finally dropped. "Since they have made up their minds, they will take action sooner or later. Fortunately, we asked Uncle Xu and his men to buy from other places early this year, otherwise we would have to compete with him for the supply again."
"You never know!" Zhou Huaian thought that people's minds were unpredictable, so he was not as optimistic as her. "I'm worried that the bastard Xiong Laoya will go to Uncle Datian and the others to intercept our supply."
Yang Chunyan thought for a moment, "I'm not worried about Uncle Datian and Uncle Xu. After all, there are still shares for the second half of the year. It all depends on Li Wu, Xu Hongbing, and Erchun and the others."
Then he patted his hands and said, "Don't worry, if it's yours, no one can take it away, and if it's not yours, no one can stop you."
"Yeah!" Zhou Huaian nodded, "Wang Zhen also said that in the future, there will be more and more people collecting mountain products, and no one person can monopolize the market."
He laughed and said, "Another happy thing is that they liked the morels we sent there last time, so they asked us to collect some and send them over. They also asked us if we have bamboo fungus here. If we do, we'll collect some and send them over to have a look."
"We have stored 40 to 50 kilograms of dried morels at home! It's harder to get bamboo fungus. You know we don't have much bamboo fungus here." Yang Chunyan paused, "Also, bamboo fungus grows and its spores begin to self-dissolve once they mature. It's harder to get good quality bamboo fungus than morels and matsutake mushrooms."
Zhou Huaian thought about it and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the bamboo forest on the other side of the ridge to take a look. Later I will talk to Ding Dingmao and ask him to pick some bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest on the other side of the forest farm, dry them and send them down. When the time comes, we will dry as many kilograms as we can and give them to them to eat."
"Okay! Go and tell your mother and husband about the hotel." Yang Chunyan walked towards the kitchen carrying the meat and vegetables he had bought.
Zhou Huaian carried his son to the backyard and saw that Zhou's mother and Aunt Jiang were already washing the last two baskets of red mushrooms. Zhou's father came out of the drying room with a winnowing basket, poured the dried red mushrooms into a basket, and brought it to Zhou Huairong and the other two to dry.
He stepped forward and took a look. "Old man, is there anything else in there?"
Father Zhou poured the red mushrooms into the basket and said, "This drying room is gone. You can bring the freshly washed ones in the bamboo basket in. I'll send these to your second brother upstairs to dry them."
"Oh!" Zhou Huaian put Xiao Jiuer in the cradle, picked up the bamboo stick and walked to the baking room. Entering the baking room in winter is a pleasure, but entering the baking room on a hot day is like entering a steamer. Sweat broke out all over the body. "Fuck, whoever does something bad in the future will be locked up in the baking room."
Zhou's mother came in with a bamboo stick and laughed, "You idiot, your old man and grandfather are in there day and night, what bad things have they done?"
"Hehe, I'm just saying!" Zhou Huaian wiped his sweat, took the bamboo stick from her hand and put it on the upper bamboo rack, "Mom, come with us to Ning'an the day after tomorrow!"
Mother Zhou glared at him and said, "Don't you have eyes? You are so busy every day that you don't even have time to sit for a while. How can you have the time to go to Ning'an?"
"I'll tell you after I bring all the bamboo sticks in!"
Zhou Huaian pushed her out and used the fastest movement to deliver the red mushrooms in the bamboo basket to the drying room. He ran out of the room as if he had fallen into water, fanning himself with a fan, "Fuck! This is simply not a life for human beings." (End of this chapter)
