"Boss, let's finally come to the mountain, we can't just go around here and go back. Several Jia family members took the opportunity to go outside to check the trap and collect prey.

"This ...... Otherwise, the sixth child and I will stay tomorrow to coax Jia Lei to play, and the rest of you will go inside, and then you can go inside to fight a few big guys. Jia Yijia said that he was the eldest of his cousins in this generation, and his words were particularly weighty.

"That's a good idea, but what can Jia Lei do?" Jia Shanjia asked.

"No problem, I have a good idea! Jia Yijia patted her chest and promised.

Then they searched all the way according to the traps they had laid the previous day, and harvested six pheasants, four hares, and a fawn.

"Since there are deer here, there must be a herd of deer nearby, you will look carefully around here tomorrow, if you can hunt a deer, it will be worth going up the mountain this time!" Jia Yijia said, deer blood, venison, deer antlers, and deer tendons are all good things.

"Okay, don't worry, the brothers will find this group of deer. Jia Shanjia and a few of them said.

"Tonight we had pheasant stew with mushrooms. Jia Yijia held up a pheasant and said to Jia Lei.

"My favorite is chicken stewed with mushrooms, especially red mushrooms (matsutake mushrooms). Jia Lei drooled and said, and then he saw the lobby man smile, ran to the pile of dry goods hanging on the beam of the hut, rummaged through it, and finally took a bunch of black-red dried mushrooms broken into eight petals.

"Red mushrooms, when I came here to hunt in the fall, I stepped on a lot of red mushrooms and just left a few bunches of red mushrooms. Jia Yijia shook the mushroom in his hand and said, and then he got half a basin of warm water from the big iron pot and soaked the mushrooms.

"I want to eat a chicken called a flower!" Dasha looked at a fat female pheasant and said, although the female pheasant is not as beautiful as the male pheasant, it has more meat than the male pheasant.

"Okay! no problem!" Jia Yijia finished speaking, and then took out the hoe in the wooden house and handed it to Dasha.

"The hill at the back of our hut is covered with yellow mud, so you take a hoe and go and dig some yellow mud back. Shave more, you have to be able to wrap the whole chicken!, you know?" Jia Yijia asked.

"I know, isn't it just to get some yellow mud, don't worry, I can plane more if I have the energy. Dasha took the hoe and said happily, and then Jia Xiaoliu took him out to dig yellow mud.

"Jia Lei, come here, let me ask you something! I won't go hunting with everyone tomorrow, do you want to do something else, will you come with me?" Jia Yijia asked sneakily.

"What are you going to do?" Jia Lei asked in a curious whisper, and only then did he understand that the hall uncle had deliberately taken Dasha away just now.

"Digging ginseng, a few years ago when I went up the mountain, I found a ginseng near here, too much is that it is the fourth grade leaf, I dislike the years are too short to have not dug up, it is estimated that there are already seven grade night leaves, is more than ten years of old ginseng. The hall uncle said with a large production cigarette in his mouth, and every time he said a word, Jia Lei's eyes would light up.

"I'll go, I'll go! I've never dug ginseng with my own hands in my life. Jia Lei's eyes were full of stars, and he said excitedly.

"Then keep your voice quiet, and don't let anyone know! I'll find an excuse to take you out alone tomorrow, so as not to wait for others to suspect you." You are the male baby of our Lao Jia family, ginseng picking is the unique skill of our Lao Jia family, your grandfather and father are gone, only I, the uncle, can teach you. Jia Yijia said that the last sentence he said was sincere, and his father, Mrs. Jia, mentioned to him before teaching Jia Lei the heirloom craft of the Jia family.

"What about Dasha, or tomorrow he will follow the six uncles. Jia Lei said.

"No, Dasha that kid I think is a sincere person, let him go with him, the place where we are going is not good, let him carry you. And digging ginseng is not a simple job, there are many doorways in it, and he can't understand it after listening to it once. Jia Yijia said, Jia Lei thought about Dasha's slow brain and nodded.

"I'm not going with you today, my mother has been coughing a little lately, I'm going to dig out the badger's nest to get a few badgers to boil badger oil, the medicine in the hospital doesn't work, eat this thing to cut off the root of the disease." Early the next morning, Jia Yijia said to the others.

"Badger oil is indeed a good thing, my family went to the iron pillar a few days ago when my hands were burned, you boiled badger oil for me. An uninformed brother said.

"Uncle Lobby, are you going to catch badgers? I've never seen this animal, can I go with you to see it?" Jia Lei asked in a fake way, he knew that this was the excuse that Uncle Lobby said last night.

"Okay! badgers are easy to catch, I won't get in the way if I take you one more!" Jia Qijia happily agreed in front of everyone, and Jia Lei immediately ran behind him happily.

"Okay, let's split up into two ways today. Jia Shanjia said that they discussed it yesterday.

So this small group of less than twenty people was divided into two pairs, Jia Yijia took Jia Lei and Dasha to a nearby hill, and the others walked in the direction of the deep mountain.

Jia Lei was carried over a steep slope by Dasha before being put on a small hill in the shade. It is a mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest dominated by Korean pine, and there are many deciduous broad-leaved trees in addition to Korean pine.

"Okay, put people down, this is it!" Jia Yijia looked at the terrain and said, there is a deep ditch here, and there are a few big stones on the side of the ditch, which is still easy to find.

"Is this all? Can there be ginseng here that is bare?" Jia Lei asked as he looked at the red pine trees that were only thirty or forty years old, and he felt that ginseng should grow in the deep mountains and old forests.

"Of course, ginseng is sown everywhere by the mallet, and it can grow anywhere as long as the land is suitable! Jia Yijia said that it is really because of this uncertainty that ginseng is particularly difficult to find.

"Come with me, I remember that the ginseng was near the big rock. After Jia Yijia finished speaking, he took Jia Lei to a large square stone that looked like a chessboard.

"Seventeen steps to the right......" Jia Yijia stood at a gap in the big rock, walked seventeen steps with his eyes half-closed and the same size, then he opened his eyes and carefully looked at the surroundings, and then walked to a big tree less than thirty centimeters away from him.

"Walk down the tree for five steps......" Jia Yijia said as he walked with a few words, and then he stepped on a big rock.

Jia Lei quietly followed behind him with Dasha and the two of them, as if he was afraid that the sound of his breathing would scare away the legendary running ginseng.

"Found it!" Jia Yijia finally breathed a sigh of relief, the terrain on the mountain changed greatly, and he was also afraid that he would not be able to find a place this time.

"Found it, where is it?" Jia Lei and Dasha ran over and asked, and then the two city people began to look carefully near the stone that Jia Yi stepped on.

"Why does ginseng grow near a stone! You two don't wander around there, where is the ginseng!" Jia Yijia walked to the bushes closest to the stone, carefully picking up the nearby weeds.

In the depressed and snowy winter, a stunning red appeared in front of Jia Lei's eyes, and in a pile of withered yellow weeds, an oval-shaped ginseng fruit was pressed against his head by a thin stem!

Ginseng found!
