Zhao Dashu and his family all went into the back mountain. Xiao Lei held a small shovel in his hand and carried a backpack.
The place was not far away. They had not dug deep into the field while digging wild vegetables and chopping firewood. It took them about half an hour to reach the place. But it is indeed a road that no one wants to take, with a big steep slope on top and a small valley below.
"Xiaoyu, just ahead."
Zhao Dashu held Li Xi's little hand tightly and said, "There is a pit here. Daddy will carry you over there."
"Look, this thing under the small tree, is it ginseng?"
Zhao Xiaoyu admired him for being able to see this, especially at night. He doesn't have night blindness? Why do people who eat a lot of meat look thin but are actually not lacking in nutrition?
"It's ginseng." He squatted down and observed it carefully to see where to start without damaging the roots. Xiao Lei hit the surroundings with a wooden stick, and only felt relieved after making sure there were no snakes or insects.
"Let me see, let me see! This is the ginseng seedling." He squatted down curiously and touched the leaves on it.
"Well, this ginseng portion is not small, about fifteen pieces."
Song pulled Li Xi closer with curiosity and said, "The leaves don't seem to be very special, so why are the things underneath so valuable?" As she spoke, she tried hard to recall whether she had come across them when she was digging wild vegetables, but she couldn't remember.
"Dad, stay away from me. I want to dig this piece too."
“It has to be this big.”
"Well, only intact ginseng is valuable. If you don't want to damage the roots, you have to dig it out bit by bit from the outside. You can follow mom and walk around. It will take me a long time to dig."
After Xiao Lei went to the tree that hit Xiao Yong's hand, he saw that it was indeed a Ganoderma lucidum. He wanted to break it off directly, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. Maybe Xiao Yu wanted it to continue growing.
"Xiaoyu, this is indeed a Ganoderma lucidum, but it's not too big. Should we break it off later or now?"
Zhao Dashu ran to Xiao Lei's side and carefully touched the hard Ganoderma lucidum. "This thing is ugly but valuable. Why do you think it's so valuable?"
Song also felt that Lingzhi looked familiar. "I think I must have seen it before, but I forgot where." She felt that she had missed many opportunities to make a fortune.
Zhao Xiaoyu stood up and took a look. "Let it grow a little longer. No one is picking it now. I guess the people who came last night didn't recognize it or didn't see it. Let's pick it after it grows for another half a month. Xiao Lei, take a clean cloth bag and collect the spore powder on it. Be careful, the spore powder is more valuable than Ganoderma lucidum."
Zhao Dashu was very excited and thrilled. Their family was very prosperous. Look, look, you can make a small fortune anywhere.
"Daughter, how much can this thing sell for?"
"We won't sell it. We'll keep it for our own health."
"Okay, okay, we don't need this little bit of money, we can use it to replenish our bodies. Xiao Lei, how come you have such good eyesight?" I have to say that he must not be concentrating on looking for someone, hehehe...
Song saw Zhao Xiaoyu digging ginseng for a while and felt bored, so she looked around to see if there was anything to eat. It was late autumn now, and there were very few edible wild vegetables. It took her a long time to find some dog-leg vegetables and cat-paw vegetables.
"Boss, Xiao Lei, there is a patch of hazel mushrooms here, come over and dig them together."
Zhao Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, "Well, let's have chicken stewed with mushrooms tonight."
"Okay!" My daughter wants to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms, and I must satisfy her.
After digging for about an hour and a half, Zhao Xiaoyu stood up, holding a complete ginseng in her hand, and carefully wrapped it and put it in the basket. Song wiped the mud off her face. It was the first time she accompanied her to dig medicinal herbs. Only then did she realize how hard and difficult the work was for her daughter.
It took her half a day to dig one medicinal herb. No wonder she used to go out early and come back late.
How much did she endure in order to make life better for her family?
"Go home, mom will make you something delicious."
…………
Xiao Yi pushed his son along the way with a grunt. His back was soaked with sweat. A gust of wind blew past him, and he uttered, "A-choo!"
Yang followed beside him but did not lend a hand. Her whole heart was on her son on the cart.
"Boss, please be careful. Dayong's hand is hurt from the bump."
Xiao stopped. "Why did you stop?"
"My stomach hurts. I need to go to the bathroom. Wait for me." Xiao Yi covered his stomach. He drank two gulps of cold water on an empty stomach last night and another ladle of water in the morning. His stomach was now churning and he was in so much pain that he couldn't continue on his way.
When Yang heard the sound of his fart, she covered her nose in disgust and said, "Go quickly, come back quickly, don't squat there for so long without getting up!"
Xiao Yi covered his butt and went into the bushes...
A quarter of an hour later, under Yang's impatient urging, he stood up contentedly and said, "Go ahead."
He now feels relaxed all over and even pushing the cart becomes easier.
"Boss, what do you think we should do if Dayong breaks a bone?"
"What's the big deal? Do you have enough money?"
"I've brought it, it's enough. Without Xiao Lei's support, what will we do if we run out of money?"
"You were the one who said you wanted to break up the relationship, who can you blame now?"
Yang was about to get angry, but Xiao stopped pushing the cart again and said, "No, wait a minute, I have to go to the bathroom."
Yang: ...
