Chapter 108: Cut it

The old medicine man half-knelt on the ground, picked off the newly cultivated soil with his hands, and then pulled out a whole tree by the roots, and looked at it carefully.

The fat man saw that his demeanor was so solemn, and he was also happy in his heart: he wouldn't hit it by mistake, it was really alpine rhodiola, right?

The old medicine broke off the stem, licked the serous juice that came out with his tongue, and then took another bite and put it in his mouth to chew. The fat man suddenly thought of Shennong tasting herbs, I don't know if this thing is poisonous or not?

"Fatty, where did you get this grass?" The old medicine asked anxiously.

"Tell me what this thing is?" The fat man was not in a hurry at all, and said slowly.

"I seem to have seen this kind of grass in ancient books, called Xueli Red, the effect is no worse than the old mountain, but it is said to grow on the high mountain, unearthed and flowered, the ice and snow have not melted, I see that your grass grows quite lush here, I dare not call it accurate."

"Hahaha, sure enough, it's it!" The fat man laughed loudly, as if he was crazy, and he could already conclude that this ancient plant called snow red was Alpine Rhodiola rosea. Thinking of the birch forest on the mountain, there are many rhodiola roseas, how the fat man doesn't like it.

When the fat man finished laughing, Lao Yaozi then asked, "Where did you pick it, it's really urgent?" ”

"Just near the top of Daqing Mountain, it grows in the iron birch forest, and we call it alpine rhodiola." The fat man does not hide that Rhodiola is still rarely used in medicine, and it will be used on a large scale, so it will take more than 20 years.

"No wonder, I really haven't been there, after all, alone, I don't dare to go too far to collect medicine." Old Yaozi's face was full of surprise.

The fat man rolled his eyes, and he had an idea in his heart: "Uncle Yaozi, why don't you come to our backing mountain, I am going to cultivate some medicinal materials in the future, and I need a capable person like you." Here, you are also more able to reflect your own value. ”

"I'll think about it." Lao Yaozi was a little moved, but he was a little stunned when he thought that the backer was too backward, and there was no electric light until now.

"Okay, when are you coming, we are welcome at any time, let's go, go home for dinner first, and then come to the deer farm to cut the antlers." The fat man is also arrogant, and the matter of going to the commune will be postponed for a day, and it is important to harvest the first batch of antler velvet today.

As soon as the fat man returned to the village and shouted, the army of cutting fur was quickly formed, and the members were: Captain Li was in charge, Wang Sancang was in charge, the car boss and the second pillar were miscellaneous, Lao Yaozi was responsible for anesthesia and dealing with the aftermath, and the commander-in-chief and dispatcher was the fat man Huang Liang, with a clear division of labor and responsibilities in place.

Of course, Xiao Qiqi is indispensable, and she has the heaviest responsibility, responsible for stabilizing the mind of the sika deer, and calming the deer's heart - what, it's a bit like doing ideological and political work.

The team of people and horses was mighty, killing and running to the deer farm, Wang Sanpao stood by the deer fence and took a look: "Haha, fatty, your deer herd is going to grow again, those doe are all carrying cubs, and it is estimated that they will give birth one after another." ”

"yes, I feel like it's spring, so fast!" The fat man was a little embarrassed in his heart: this deer raised him, and he didn't know anything.

"Sika deer generally come into heat in autumn, and then give birth in late spring, what you said is that it is holding back for a winter, and in spring it begins to compete for the dominance of the deer herd, not estrus." Wang Sanpao taught the fat man another lesson.

The fat man's old face was neither red nor white, and he waved his hand: "Go to work!" ”

The second pillar went to the deer pen first, and led the doe and the fawn away, and the big stag also followed, but was stopped by Qiqi. Only then did the fat man notice that the antler velvet had grown to more than half a foot long, with a small branch on it, covered with a layer of reddish-brown skin, like velvet, fluffy, and attractive to look at.

"It just so happens that the head stubble that has been cut off now is a two-bar (a deer antler that has just grown a side branch, and there are also names such as three branches and four branches), and the medicinal properties are the best." Lao Yaozi has a needle in his hand and prepares to be an anesthesiologist.

"Kiki, bring out two first." The fat man shouted in his mouth, with a commanding posture.

Wrinkling his little nose, Qiqi was a little reluctant in his heart: Good antlers, why do you have to cut them off. However, she had been frightened by Wang Sanpao and the old revolution before, and she could only lead out two big bucks with grievances.

Taking advantage of Qiqi teasing the two deer in front, Lao Yaozi made a black hand in the back, and his needle piercing skills were more skilled than the fat man, and soon, the two sika deer were put to the ground.

The car boss and the old revolutionary went up to hold down the deer's head, the fat man fixed the antlers with his hands, and Wang Sanpao held a saw in his hand, which had already been cut very sharply with an iron file. Before entering the mountain, he was ready.

Leaving about a centimeter at the base of the antlers, Wang Sanpao began to saw. With three or five clicks, the antler velvet was sawn off.

Blood began to seep out of the saw, and the old medicine rubbed it with a cotton ball to remove the bloodstains, and then put some medicine on it to avoid infection, and praised the fat man for his thoughtful preparation while working.

The fat man was happy in his heart: Can you not be thoughtful, from last autumn to now, I have been worried about it for more than half a year.

Kiki watched as she clenched her small fists, but eventually held back, as she saw that the sika deer had gradually opened their eyes, and crouched on the ground and stroked their furry cheeks.

Obviously, the sika deer did not feel any pain, except for the lightening of the top of the head, there was no change. Get up from the ground and continue to walk on the grass.

Two pairs of antler velvets were cut off, and everyone gathered together to watch. Wang Sanpao weighed it with his hands: "It is estimated that each one has more than half a catty, and the harvest is good." ”

Lao Yaozi nodded: "It's really good, the front is round, the essence and blood inside are vigorous, fatty, you must give me one." ”

"Cheng, anyway, the old stationmaster is also retired." After the last debt collection, the fat man is not very concerned about the sale of deer antler velvet to the acquisition station, but the fat man's consistent principle is to be right about things and not to people.

"We can't do that." The old revolutionary suddenly began to speak, and the fat man couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it: It's bad, the seriousness of the old revolution has come up again.

"This antler blood is also a good thing, and it is all blind on the ground. When I cut it again, I'll take a rice bowl and pick it up. With that, the old revolutionary ran to the house.

"It turned out to be for this, it scared me." The fat man didn't feel funny when he thought about it, and asked the old medicine again: "Is this deer antler blood useful?" ”

"Thanks to the old revolutionary reminder, deer antler blood is also a superior medicinal material, and the Compendium of Materia Medica says that it can greatly replenish deficiency, benefit sperm and blood, detoxify acne and poison. It is a good product for nourishing blood and strengthening the body. It's just that I rarely catch up with the cutting of deer antler velvet and forget about this stubble. The old medicine also had a look of remorse.

"It doesn't matter, there are several more, let's continue cutting." The fat man gave an order, and Qiqi led out two sika deer, one big and one small, and the younger one was only three years old, and it was still the first year to grow horns.

This time, the cooperation of everyone was more skilled, and the old revolutionary's bowl also received a bowl of red deer antler blood.

It took two hours for the six sika deer that could produce fur to be harvested. The fat man didn't need to squeak strangely, but told the three old men to add more concentrate and salt to them. In addition, pay attention to the point of viewing, so as not to have any adverse reactions.

After cutting the antlers, put them in a dustpan, and then take them back for simple processing. The old medicine told the fat man: "After a month and a half, you can cut another stubble, although it is slightly worse than the first stubble, but it is also much stronger than the third stubble." ”

"Cutting three stubbles a year? Forget it, it's better to cut two stubbles, people can't be too greedy. "The fat man's kindness was shown again, he was a man who had come from here, and knew the sad end of crazy plunder.

A smile finally bloomed on Qiqi's little face: "It's still good to be a fat uncle, but can you just cut a stubble?" ”

When I get home, the rest of the things are not intervened by others, and the old medicine will do it. He first taught the big braid to boil a pot of water, threw the antler velvet into the water to scald, and then fished it out, and the water in the pot immediately turned pale red.

"The blood in the antler velvet should be drained, so that the resulting velvet slices are pure, and they must be scalded several times." Old Yaozi explained to everyone.

The fat man scooped out the blood in the pot, scooped it with a gourd, and muttered in his mouth: "These are all good things, it's a pity to throw them away, keep them for the big flowers to drink." ”

After removing the plasma, he began to remove the hair of the deer antler velvet, and the old medicine asked the fat man to find a few pieces of glass ballast and slowly shave off the fluff on the deer antler.

Everyone can get started with this job, so one person scrapes a piece of glass, and the rustle fills the whole room.

The old medicine set up a few pieces of halberds in the courtyard, and after lighting them, he put the deer antler velvet on top and burned them, scraping them while burning.

The fat man spun around next to him, and a sentence came out of his mouth: "It seems to be similar to roast pig's feet." ”

"It's nothing to do with you, hurry up and arrange a meal, and ask your aunt to come and help Xiaoyu cook, and you have to celebrate today." When Captain Li heard the fat man say this, he immediately felt a little hungry.

"You guys do a good job, I'll do a good job of logistics support." The fat man's heart is also very open: it is finally time to harvest.

After the antler velvet is shaved clean, it is brushed in warm water and wrapped in cotton cloth on the outside, leaving a saw edge.

"Bring the wine." Old Yaozi shouted.

"The food isn't ready yet, wait a little longer." The fat man pushed open the door and poked his head out and shouted.

"I'm going to fill the deer antler velvet with wine." The old medicine man knew that the fat man had listened to the errand, and thought that he was going to eat.

There is a honeycomb-shaped bone at the saw edge of the deer antler, slowly pour the liquor into it, fill it up, and wrap it tightly with a cloth: "Let it stay overnight, it will be soft tomorrow, and then you can slice it, remember, the thinner the better, find a woman with a good knife edge to do this work." ”

The old medicine was quick with his hands and feet, and soon, all the twelve deer antler velvets were processed. Everyone raised their fingers at him: "This job is authentic!" ”

"It's nothing, the main thing is that these deer antlers of fat people are good, no matter what kind of animal, bones are the most difficult to grow. For example, it is not until you are in your twenties that the bones can be fully grown; However, deer antler velvet is an exception, and the growth rate is amazing, so it has been regarded as a nourishing product since ancient times, and everyone will leave some wine to drink in the future, which can strengthen the body. The old medicine man smiled innocently.

The fat man opened the door: "Uncle Yaozi, are you talking about this spirit?" ”

"Haha, if you believe, you will be spiritual, and if you don't believe, it will not be spiritual."

"Dizzy, it's still the same old thing."

"Deer antler velvet is a proven medicine, of course it works, just to tease you." Lao Yaozi's mood is also very comfortable, and the idea of wanting to come to the backer is getting stronger and stronger.

At this moment, Erzhuzi suddenly ran in panting: "Fatty, sika deer-ahhhhh

The fat man chuckled in his heart: "What's wrong with the sika deer?" ”
