Chapter 558: Friends of Women
"The fat man snorted. The hairy little paws trembled, and put the little old belly on the ground. Then it swooped out of the door and disappeared.
The fat man picked up the ginseng and looked at it carefully: Hehe, it's done, it's just two tooth marks, and it doesn't affect anything. Mao Mao, Mao Mao, if you are gnawed by Shui Zhuobu, it is estimated that your life will have to be tossed and not half of it. ”
After speaking, he handed the ginseng to the old Yaozi: "When will I use it, I will dig it for you, we will all use fresh ones, haha fat man, what kind of ginseng are you?, everyone is very curious."
"Heaven must not be divulged. that ye may know. What should I do if I steal it!" The fat man made a half-truth joke, so that others could not scratch their heads.
A meal was eaten happily, everyone's belly was bulging, these potato buds or something, not greasy, it was a thing that specifically supported the belly.
In the past, in the countryside, everyone could eat, especially the half-sized children, and the belly was about to catch up with the bottomless pit. The main reason. It's just that there is no oil and water in the stomach.
The dishes and chopsticks were removed, the fruit was served, everyone chatted while eating, and after two or three days, the self-reserved land of each family was cleaned up, and they immediately went into the mountain to collect medicine. Eleuthero, Schisandra, Skullcapa and so on, it's time to harvest. Eleutherococcus senticosus. Schisandra tea and Beimin tea are all in the approved projects.
Because the fat man concentrates the medicinal herbs into a few medicinal gardens, it is much easier to harvest. That's three to five days.
And ginseng, which is the main event, is all provided by fat people; Another main ingredient is the deer. This year's harvested ones were not sold at all, and the supply was sufficient; There is also a base for Ganoderma lucidum/fast fat man, and when the time comes, it will be enough to beat people to collect them.
The effects of the previous years are now gradually being felt. Otherwise, in a hurry, those who lack this and lack that should be blind.
After the arrangement, everyone has a feeling that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and they are full of hope for the general constraints of the pharmaceutical factory.
"Old man Chang and Lao Yaozi's words, the two of them are now a little inseparable, so they simply go to Lao Yaozi's house to live."
When the fat man sent them out, the old man Chang grabbed the fat man outside the gate, and I heard that the fat old man's illness was cured here, can you tell me in detail?"
"Hehe, it turns out that there is an old man Wu. It was the commander of our military region, who was cured last year; The fat old man is the second, and the sister-in-law Ye is also in the late stage of the disease, "Now it is being treated." The fat man said triumphantly.
, I can't see it, it doesn't look like a sick person at all!" Old man Chang was also extremely surprised/If the fat man didn't say it, he really didn't know that Sister-in-law Ye was also a patient, and he couldn't help but be even more fascinated by the fat man's treatment methods.
We'll talk about it tomorrow. It's getting late. Rest early. "Of course the fat man doesn't fall to the bottom so early. You have to slander him for a while, "Wait until the old man Chang is determined to stay here and not leave, and then the fat man will tell him the truth."
Without holding it, the fat man squeaked and went back to the house. Old Man Chang had to stomp his feet and sigh, and then followed the old medicine home, estimating that he would not sleep well at night.
Two days later, the green rice harvest in Nanwazi was completed, and more than half of the laborers returned to Tunzi, and the rest remained in the rice to dry there, and after the road was repaired, it could be transported away.
The fat man asked about the harvest, and sure enough, it was about the same as He Mancang's estimate, the first 100 acres were cultivated, and the yield per mu was more than 1,200 catties; The 200 acres that were later reclaimed have a yield of 1,000 per mu, and the output is expected to reach 400,000 catties. That is to say, there are as many as 40,000 catties that can be handled by Koutun by themselves.
This news is the most gratifying, especially the little babies, who have an almost crazy yearning for green rice and rice. Think about how much each family can get three or four hundred catties. They were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths when they went to sleep.
When the work returned, he immediately went into the mountains to collect medicine. When the strong laborers returned, they replaced the women, because of the work of collecting medicine. Women are the most competent. First, the amount of labor is not too large. Second, women work meticulously, unlike men. At most, when you get back from the bottom to the bottom, ask the old man to pick it.
On this morning, as soon as the day dawned, the vast number of old ladies began to gather, and they all covered their earth baskets. In the basket were rolled sacks, and a small iron heel was carried on each shoulder: a coarse cloth apron was worn on his body. With half-amputated sleeves on his arms and labor protection gloves on his hands, he was specially brought by the fat man from the county.
Captain Li personally took command, and the fat man and the old medicine man were the team leaders, leading more than 100 women's troops, marching towards Daqing Mountain.
In D, the team is divided into four parts. They went to the four medicine gardens. Among them, Schisandra chinensis is the easiest to collect, so there are the least people. Clusters of schisandra hang on the branches, like grapes. The color is also purplish-red, but the particles are slightly smaller.
The fat man chaired the basket, and after a while he picked a large basket. The women said, 'The fat man is a bit of a genius at doing this job, but the little baby can do it.' ”
The fat man who said it was embarrassed to follow it anymore, hehe said a few times, and walked to other forests.
Schisandra chinensis is easy to pick, while eleuthero is not easy to deal with/fast As the name suggests, this thing has small needle-like thorns on its tree skills, which are easy to prick hands.
The medicinal part of eleuthero is the root and rhizome, so it is also known as the bark of eleutherococcus, and from the perspective of biology in the town, eleuthero and ginseng are both in the same family, and they both belong to the eleuthero family. "Vitamins" are similar in medicinal properties; It's just that eleuthero is more common. Ginseng, on the other hand, is relatively scarce because it is heavily harvested.
The soil in the forest is relatively loose, so even this woman can easily dig up the root system of eleuthero, which is running through the ground. The root system is particularly branched. What everyone digs is mainly some branches of its abundance. If you cut it off with the taproot, you can't recycle it.
When the fat man walked over to inspect it, he saw that these women comrades were all squatting on the ground, holding small mosaics and small axes in their hands, cutting off the rhizomes section by section, all of which were section by section, and the surface was black and brown, and there were many folds. Put it under the nose and smell it, the aroma is peculiar.
"Fatty, what are you wandering around, hurry up and help the surname work!" shouted an old lady. But they still work in their hands, backfilling the excavated soil and then stepping on it.
Hehe, I'm the head of the fire, and I'll be responsible for cooking for you for a while. "The fat man is right, he put the pot on just now. Running up and down the hill and back and forth. The time is spent on walking, so everyone brings their own dry food in the morning, and the fat man is responsible for heating it upside down. And he often moves his hands and feet, unites, and dares to strip the old man naked, you say that urine is not urine.
Of course, the fat man knows that it is powerful, and he retreats quickly, which is called being unable to hide from it, in case they are provoked, if they really make a move, the fat man may suffer.
Soon I wandered to the forest where the yellow people were picked, and saw everyone digging with iron plating.
The stems on the ground are not long, only about two feet: the medicinal part is the rhizome underground. It is also two or three feet long. The top is thick, can be three or four centimeters, and the further down it becomes, the thinner it becomes, but there are few branches.
This kind of medicine with complete roots will definitely destroy one tree if you dig it. Therefore, the fat man and the old medicine have discussed: dig half and leave half, and after the seeds fall to the ground, they can grow a lot every year, which can be regarded as recycling.
After pulling out the roots of the yellow weed, the color is pale yellow. It smells a little beany and can be sliced after drying. It is widely distributed. Only the quality of the Northeast is the best, so it is called 'Jingmin', and there is a local folk song that says, 'Drink Huangwei soup often to prevent diseases and protect health.' ”
The fat man simply snatched a shovel. Then it was like pulling out a radish, pulling out the roots of the yellow weed, and then backfilling the soil. This is also a principle that must be observed, and a large green mountain is its own family, and it cannot be blind and mistakable.
When they were doing their best, the women shouted: Fatty, don't work and stick to the old ladies' pile, why do you want to rub oil?"
The fat man straightened up and scratched the back of his head. Then he put the shovel in and quickly shifted the battlefield.
In the end, the fat man came to the forest where Codonopsis was planted, and Codonopsis was of the best quality to the Xishang Party. That's why it's called 'Codonopsis'; The Northeast has a peculiar climate. Under the forging of severe cold and heat, the medicinal effect of Codonopsis is not inferior to that of Codonopsis.
This characteristic is also the common point of most medicinal materials in Northeast China, the summer is scorching hot and high, and the winter ice and snow are very cold/fast, and most of these medicinal materials are perennial, "so the medicinal properties are strong and the medicinal effect is good."
After digging up the codonopsis a few times, the fat man looked at the watch, and with an oops, he ran to the point. I'm going to cook for you with this great labor. If I really starve you heroes of this marriage. The whole village has to clean up."
Lunch is simple, boil soup below, and heat dry food on top. However, in order to make everyone eat well, the fat man still put in a lot of effort and four teams took turns to eat, otherwise more than 100 people would not have enough to eat.
The soup is wild vegetable egg drop soup, the fat man's big sleeves are flicked, the spoon is rounded, and the pot is full of egg drops; Other than that. No one was rewarded with a salted duck egg, but also a few pickles/sour eggplant, cucumber twisted with leeks, and oil pickles, made with kohlrabi, horseradish and celery face, topped with soy sauce, adzuki bean oil and spices, and the soup after the fryer with soy sauce and spices. Because there was less oil and water at that time. So it's extra fragrant when you eat it.
Make half a pot of soup and beckon a group to come and eat. The women washed their hands and sat on the ground in groups of three or five. Holding the dry food in one hand and the soup bowl in the other, squeak the soup and then take a bite of the dry food. Put down the soup bowl again, pick a piece of Wei duck egg, and chirp while eating, you know that the fat man is delicious, and deliberately covets him.
The fat man was busy making the next pot of soup, and he didn't pay attention at all, this old lady was wrong. As a result, someone muttered: "The fat man really knows how to hurt people, come, our family will reward you!," Hehe, I don't dare, my daughter-in-law has to scold me when I go home: Besides, I vomit as soon as I eat milk, so you should keep it home for your own old man." "Of course, fat people also have to take advantage of words.
At this time, Lao Yaozi and Old Man Chang also ran around and came back. The old man shouted from afar: "Leave me some, I happen to be hungry and growling" More than half of the old ladies sprayed the egg soup in their mouths on the ground, and then burst into laughter.
