Chapter 57: Gouzi is an expert at finding ginseng



Xiao Hei led the way in front, and Ye Qingtao followed quickly.

She quickly looked at the surrounding scenery and made a mark on the tree from time to time.

Xiao Hei ran very fast, and after more than half an hour they had already gone deep into the forest.

Ye Qingtao had no intention of going into the mountain at first, but now, being led by Xiao Hei, he was running up the mountain much faster.

Just when Ye Qingtao was almost out of breath, Xiao Hei finally stopped.

It pointed its paw at one place and kept barking.

"Master, there is the smell of ginseng here!"

Xiao Hei was pointing to the middle of a dense forest. In spring, the forest would all grow back and ordinary people would not be able to find this place at all.

That is to say, it is winter now and there is nothing obstructing around, so Xiao Hei can find it so easily.

Before Ye Qingtao came over, Xiao Hei was already scratching anxiously with his paws.

Its paws are not big, but they are very strong.

It quickly dug a shallow hole on the ground, but it still complained that it was too slow and kept digging the soil with its nose.

When Ye Qingtao walked closer to it, Xiao Hei raised his head. There was a layer of mud on his little face and nose, and he looked particularly funny.

Ye Qingtao squatted down and patted its head with a smile.

Xiao Hei's hair is shiny and smooth, and feels great to the touch.

Regardless of whether there is ginseng in the mud, its efficiency alone is worthy of praise.

Ye Qingtao immediately took out two pieces of dried meat from his pocket and handed them over.

Xiao Hei looked at her in surprise and barked a few times.

"Master, are you going to reward me before I find the ginseng?"

"Thank you for your hard work. Eat something so you have the strength to work."

"Woo woo woo, woo woo woo, Master, you are so kind!"

Xiao Hei was so moved that he almost cried. He arched his back in Ye Qingtao's palm and licked her palm with his little tongue.

Ye Qingtao patted its head again and then started digging.

Xiao Hei had already dug a shallow hole in the ground, and Ye Qingtao just had to dig along that position.

When she went out, she brought a small hoe with her. She only dug in a few times, and sure enough, the ginseng head emerged.

Ye Qingtao dug along the edge of the ginseng little by little, and successfully found a ginseng.

Ye Qingtao shook off the dirt on the ginseng roots, weighed it in his hand, and estimated that it weighed about 50 grams.

Normal ginseng only grows 0.5-3 grams a year. Ginseng that can grow to 50 grams is more than 20 years old.

This kind of ginseng is pure wild ginseng, which has the effects of replenishing qi and blood, nourishing the spleen and lungs, promoting body fluid and nourishing blood, and calming the mind and improving intelligence.

Ginseng can be used as medicine and can be made into ginseng wine. Even if it is sold directly, it can be sold at a high price.

I didn’t expect Xiao Hei to be so capable. He gained a lot the first time he went out of the space.

Even if we don't pick any medicinal herbs in the mountains today, this ginseng alone would be considered a great harvest.

Ye Qingtao took out 10 pieces of dried meat and gave them all to Xiao Hei.

She always keeps her word.

The furry kid has made a great contribution, so he should be given the proper reward.

If you search too much, it will dampen the dog's enthusiasm in the future.

After Xiao Hei finished eating 10 pieces of dried meat, he started working without Ye Qingtao's instructions.

Xiao Hei ran very fast and disappeared in a moment.

It was not easy to get into the mountains, and Ye Qingtao didn't want to follow it all the time.

She began to look around, and soon she found Pueraria root in the mountains.

Pueraria root has also been hidden in the mountains and forests for an estimated seven or eight years.

At this time, the kudzu root has entered a dormant period and has accumulated the most effective ingredients, so this is the best time to pick it.

The longer Pueraria root is cultivated, the more effective ingredients it contains.

Ye Qingtao took out a hoe from the space, squatted on the ground and dug hard.

Small Pueraria root usually weighs only 5 to 10 kilograms, while giant Pueraria root can weigh more than 90 kilograms or even more.

These kudzu roots have been planted for 8 to 9 years and are very large.

Ye Qingtao started from the edge, digging along the growth direction of the kudzu root.

Although she has never farmed, she is an expert at digging medicinal herbs.

It took her more than ten minutes to dig out a kudzu root weighing more than 50 kilograms.

Pueraria root looks like ginseng, but is much larger than ginseng. It is called "Southern ginseng" among the people.

The harvest this time was very good. Although Ye Qingtao was tired and sweating, he was still in high spirits.

She put the dug kudzu roots into the space and started digging the next one.

She noticed that there were several kudzu roots growing here, and they were all quite old.

It is not easy to come across such wild Pueraria root. Now that she has found it, she will definitely not keep a single one.

With the experience just now, Ye Qingtao dug much faster the second time.

In less than 10 minutes, she dug out another one, but her arm was already a little sore.

Ye Qingtao put the newly dug kudzu root into the space and then attacked the next one.

It is very comfortable to dig these old kudzu roots. Each time you dig one, it weighs dozens of kilograms.

Ye Qingtao ignored the pain in his arms and dug the fourth one in a row.

The little black dog who had been missing for a long time was finally found, barking.

"Master! Master! I found another ginseng. Come with me and take a look!"

Xiao Hei grabbed her trouser leg and pulled it forward impatiently.

"You lead the way, and I'll follow behind."

Ye Qingtao reminded him, and Xiao Hei finally opened his mouth.

It led the way with its short legs, and Ye Qingtao followed quickly.

Xiao Hei ran for more than ten minutes before finding the place. He pointed at a shallow pit with his short legs and said to Ye Qingtao with a smile.

"Master, this is it. I have marked it. I am sure it is correct."

Ye Qingtao dug down along the center of the shallow pit. This time the ginseng was buried quite deep, and she dug for a long time before she saw the beginning.

Xiao Hei lay on one side, scratching it with his paws from time to time.

Ye Qingtao dug faster and faster, and after more than ten minutes he successfully dug out a ginseng.

When Goudan saw that she had dug out the ginseng, he barked with joy.

Ye Qingtao knew what it meant and quickly took out 10 pieces of dried meat from his pocket.

Xiao Hei lowered his head, buried it in her palm, and ate with relish.

After eating the dried meat, Xiao Hei was full of energy again. He kept howling and wanted to go to work again.

Xiao Hei had already run a long way away, and Ye Qingtao immediately called it.

"Xiao Hei, come back. It's getting dark. We should go down the mountain today."

"I'm not going down the mountain! I still want to find ginseng! I still want to eat jerky!"

Xiao Hei paused, then smacked his lips, looking as if he was still unsatisfied.

"When it gets dark, there are ghosts on the mountain. The ghosts will eat the dog!"

Ye Qingtao originally wanted to scare Xiao Hei, but she didn't expect Xiao Hei to look at her with a puzzled expression.

"What is a ghost? Are ghosts very powerful?"

Xiao Hei blinked and asked in confusion.

"Ghosts specialize in eating dogs' food. They will come out when it gets dark. Do you want to come down the mountain with me? Otherwise, I won't care if you get eaten!"
