Chapter 722: The Mystery of Lao He
After dinner in the evening, everyone drank more or less wine, Bai Ye didn't want to disturb Ziyan, got up and came out of the house, and walked around the door.
The ancestral house was not far from the house where Bai Ye lived at the time, and after a while, he looked up and suddenly found a man grinning at him.
Bai Ye looked up and was stunned for a moment: "Uncle He?"
Lao He is still the same as he was at the beginning, he is well-dressed, even in winter, he is not bloated at all, his trouser legs are always tied up, and a pair of old army green sneakers seem to have been reinforced.
Moreover, it seems that Lao He still has a smell of herbs on his body.
Bai Ye couldn't help but ask, "Uncle He, did you enter the mountain today?" ”
Lao He nodded: "Well, I can't be idle, I can't go in when it snows." ”
Bai Ye nodded: "How is your health lately?"
Lao He snorted: "After all, if you are young, if you are ten or eight years old, you may not have the opportunity to climb the mountain in this life." ”
Bai Ye smiled: "Then rest and retire early, I'll contact a nursing home for you, how about it?"
Lao He was kind to Bai Ye.
Bai Ye has never forgotten that when Lao He gave "Lao He's Experience Inheritance" to Bai Ye, Bai Ye inherited this kindness.
Lao He is also more than 50 people this year, and in the village, such an age is not allowed to be tossed.
Perhaps, one of the differences between rural and urban areas may be that it begins at the age of 50.
When a person reaches fifty, all body functions begin to decline.
The rural people have endured a lifetime of hardship, dirty work and tiring work for half their lives, and when they reach this age, all kinds of diseases begin to appear.
Of course, this refers to men.
As the only labor and main source of income for the family, they basically dare not rest in the first half of their lives, and there are wives in the middle.
After reaching 50, some chronic diseases may begin to appear, or the result of fatigue in the first half of life.
And in the city, most men may not reach the peak of their careers until they are fifty years old, and they are in the time of glory.
Lao He may be because of the perennial medicine collection and exercise, plus the understanding of some pharmacology and nourishment methods, so that he will not get old so quickly, and his physical function is okay.
But......
After Bai Ye approached carefully, he suddenly found that there was a strange smell on Lao He's body!
Very familiar!
But it's also very strange!
The smell may seem familiar, but there are a few differences.
Bai Ye has a skill called smelling fragrance and recognizing medicine, so after smelling the fragrance, he was stunned for no reason!
He thought about it carefully, and suddenly understood!
"Uncle He, the smell of Codonopsis!"
Lao He's eyes flashed: "Good baby, the Tao is okay, it's better than a dog's nose!"
Bai Ye smiled awkwardly, but there was still a lingering smell of codonopsis in his mind.
The taste of this Codonopsis is a little worse than the current Codonopsis, and Bai Ye can't feel the difference.
Lao He pulled Bai Ye and smiled: "Come into the house with me and show you something good." ”
When Bai Ye heard this, he hurriedly got up and followed Lao He into the house.
The old He family doesn't seem to have changed at all, Aunt He is preparing New Year's goods, after all, the New Year is coming soon, even if it is an old couple, they should be lively and happy.
Seeing Bai Ye coming in, Aunt He hurriedly smiled and got up to greet her.
"Xiao Ye is here, sit down, I'll get you something to eat. ”
Bai Ye hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't be like this, Aunt He, I just ate, and I can't eat anything now." ”
Aunt He got up with a smile and went to the house to take out a face plate, which contained some marinated meat, but ...... Not the ones that are sold in the market.
"These are all some game that your Uncle He brought from the mountains, pheasants and hares, you take them back to your parents to taste, I guess you can't eat the taste of our old mountains outside." ”
Bai Ye nodded, smiled and did not excuse himself.
In fact, the taste of the mountain is the taste of the mountain, the taste of a mountain, and the water and soil of one party.
The old taste of Taihang Mountain has fed this group of lives.
Lao He didn't say anything more, but took Bai Ye into a room dedicated to putting medicine.
After entering, a strong medicinal fragrance came to my face.
Bai Ye was caught off guard and sneezed.
Lao He said mysteriously: "Wait for me, I'll bring you some treasures to show you." ”
There are various bamboo baskets throughout the room, which are filled with medicinal herbs.
These are all traditional Chinese medicines made by Lao He himself, and they are all sold to the city in addition to his own use and for the villagers to use some.
Of course, Lao He's medicine is better, and it is not cheap, and the problem of subsidizing the family is not very big.
Bai Ye looked at it casually, and it was all some common medicines in the wild: licorice, dodder seeds, wolfberry, shou wu vine and the like.
After a while, after Lao He tossed around, he took out a few sticks of codonopsis and handed them over: "You taste it, what is the difference between these ones!"
Bai Ye looked at the codonopsis in his hand curiously, although the appearance did not look so different, but the touch was not the same!
Especially the taste, Bai Ye handed it to his nose, and when he smelled the smell carefully, it seemed that there were some differences in each one.
Bai Ye couldn't help frowning: "It seems to be very different!"
Lao He smiled: "It's not just such a difference!
After finishing speaking, Lao He pulled Bai Ye out of the pharmacy: "You taste them one by one, go back and have a good taste, if you are okay in the past two days, I will take you to the mountains." ”
Bai Ye was stunned: "What are you doing in the mountains?"
Lao He smiled undeniably: "Go see a good thing." ”
Bai Ye nodded and walked out, holding a few codonopsis in his hands, full of suspicion in his heart.
Could it be that Lao He discovered the cultivation method of Codonopsis?
Thinking of this, Bai Ye's heart was full of excitement and excitement, if this was really the case, it was not a trivial matter.
Codonopsis and Codonopsis can now be said to be faulty.
If you can find a cultivation method for old Codonopsis, it is definitely a big deal to cultivate these things with artificial breeding.
Back in the house, Bai Ye carefully cut off a little bit and tasted it slowly.
The general taste although the difference is not very big, but ...... Some of the fine flavors are still a little different.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye decided to ask the staff to test tomorrow what was the difference.
This time, in order to help the development of Pingyuan City, there are a lot of technicians and instruments brought, and it should not be a big problem to test and separate a Codonopsis.
Tomorrow I will solve the matter with those leaders as soon as possible, and the day after tomorrow I will try to go into the mountains with Lao He once to see what is special.
Bai Ye had a hunch that Lao He must have found a way to cultivate Codonopsis, otherwise there would not be so many Codonopsis with such a big difference.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye was thrilled!
