Chapter 14 Hundred Years of Wild Ginseng
Wang Yan spent some time grinding the deer leg bone into a deer bone drill with a kitchen knife, and then polished it smooth with sandpaper, and after preparing to stop, Wang Yan ran into the mountain with a swish. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info ginseng is mainly produced in the Xiaoxing'an Mountains and Changbai Mountains, and is also produced in countries such as Orosi and Nan**bang, which is a rare resource, so Wang Yan is greedy for cheap and has to dig ginseng abroad.
Whoosh to the outside country, Wang Yan was secretly complacent, this can be regarded as smuggling out of the country, right? Lao Tzu will go back when he gets the treasure, and the people will not be held accountable!
In the deep mountains and old forests, Wang Yan was not afraid of others to see, so he first cut a straight and slippery small ash pole to make a rope stick for putting the mountain (digging ginseng into the mountain is called putting the mountain), while pulling away the weeds and branches that blocked the way, scaring away snakes, insects and beasts, and at the same time using Tianyantong and Tianzutong to look for wild ginseng, and soon found a piece of more than a dozen old ginseng.
Three six-pint leaves are presented in front of you. Ginseng is a perennial herbaceous plant that produces only a compound leaf with 3 leaves in the first year, which is called a three-flower seed in the jargon; In the second year, this compound leaf grows two more leaves, and becomes a compound leaf with 5 leaves, which is shaped like a human hand, and is called a horseshoe in the jargon; Later, according to the climate or topography, every other year or a few years, a compound leaf with 5 leaves is born, which is called Erjiazi in the jargon; Add another compound leaf, there are 3 compound leaves, the jargon is called lampstand; There are 4 compound leaves, which are called four-pint leaves in the jargon; There are 5 compound leaves, which are called five-grade leaves in the jargon, and there are also 6 compound leaves, which are called six-grade leaves in the jargon, but they are very rare; Because ginseng will no longer grow leaves when it grows to the sixth grade leaf at most, and some ginseng will never grow a sixth leaf when it grows to the fifth grade leaf, so the six-grade leaf is the most precious; I was found by Wang Yan!
The largest of these ginseng strains found now has a lifespan of more than 500 years, and it is estimated that several ginseng strains around the six-pin-leaf are the descendants of the six-pin-ye.
Wang Yan filtered the information in his mind, and immediately couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately took out the polished deer bone drill and began to dig ginseng: first gently tie the six-grade leaf with red wool, and then tie it to the small tree next to it, make room for careful use of the deer bone to dig up the roots of ginseng, this is a delicate work, the ginseng has to be dug out with all the mustaches and tails, and it is a great loss to break a small ginseng whisker, and the soil next to the roots has to be removed little by little......
Halfway through the digging, Tianertong started on its own, and the sound of Suosuo was heard not far away. Wang Yan used the Heavenly Eye to sweep around, and 5 or 6 meters away, a big snake with a thick cup mouth swam towards him. Legend has it that the treasure is surrounded by fierce beasts, but is it true?
Wang Yan was not afraid, calmly took out a box of cigarettes, lit a cigarette, blew the smoke towards the big snake, opened another cigarette, took out the tobacco and lit it at the fire, and sprinkled it on the way where the big snake came. I had seen in the book that snakes were afraid of the smell of tobacco, and I didn't know if this knowledge was correct, Wang Yan was ready to use Tianzutong to escape as soon as this trick failed.
Sure enough, the serpent changed direction and swam away from the smell of tobacco. It worked!
Wang Yan first checked and extinguished the smoke that was sprinkled out to avoid causing a mountain fire, although he brought the fire into the mountain, he should pay more attention to avoid causing a mountain fire.
Then he began to dig ginseng again, and he was so sleepy that he dug out a six-grade leaf, and it was getting dark. Wang Yan could see at night with his Tianyan Technique, but he couldn't control the hunger in his abdomen, so he had to retreat first.
Wang Yan peeled off a large piece of birch bark with a kitchen knife, scraped some dried moss from the roots, and carefully wrapped the leaves of the six pins. Perform a swish and return to Yichun to rest all night.
I bought a ginseng in Yichun, and it only cost a few yuan, and the ginseng cultivated here is not much more expensive than the radish, and the good ginseng that has been planted for more than ten years is only a few hundred yuan a catty. Wang Yan casually found a small restaurant, ordered a chicken stew with mushrooms, and asked the store to stew the ginseng into it, and the chicken was changed to an old hen. Wang Yan waited and rested while chatting with the boss.
A pot of old hen stewed mushrooms made Wang Yan's mouth full of oil, and then found a bathing center to rest. Because he had to register with his ID card to stay in a hotel, Wang Yan didn't want to expose his whereabouts, so he chose the bathing center. Overnight stays are free of charge in the lounge of the bathing center, but some special services are required. Wang Yan blasted away the young lady who was doing a lot of work, found a massage master, enjoyed a full-body loose bone and back massage, and slept beautifully all night.
The next morning, Wang Yan bought a few bottles of pure water, a few Harbin red sausages, a few breads, a pair of slingshots, and had food to ensure that he would go into the mountains to dig ginseng again.
When he came to the ginseng place, Wang Yan immediately began to dig. This time I was much more proficient, and I dug up two more six-pint leaves in the morning, and then prepared lunch. In fact, Wang Yan can dig so fast because of his magical skills, and it may take several days for a ginseng to be dug by a mountain releaser.
Wang Yan first used Tianyantong to find more than a dozen pine mushrooms around, and then hit two unknown birds with a slingshot, found some dead branches, and dug a pit with a butcher's knife to use it as a stove fire to prevent a mountain fire, and prepared to start a fire in the pit for cooking.
Find a stream, wash the pine mushrooms with the stream water and soak them in the water, the birds open and pluck the feathers and wash them, stuff the pine mushrooms and a few pieces of roasted red sausage into the cavity of the bird's meat, wrap the birds with large leaves, wrap them in thin mud, and put them back in the stove pit with a sunhat.
Then, in the pit throw birch bark and dry wood to make a fire, the birch bark is oily and easy to ignite, and when the fire is hot, wrap the bird meat in thin mud and throw it into the fire, and then use the branches to string the red sausage and roast it on the fire.
After eating bird meat, pine mushrooms, and red sausages, I drank two bottles of pure water, and then worked hard to dig ginseng......
Wang Yan was lucky, and in the evening, he saw a few grouses fighting for a mate.
This grouse mate selection is very interesting, several roosters around the hen constantly circle to show off their feathers, while still purring, stagger out of the circle, the old half of the day can not slow down, until the last one with the best physical strength and the hen to go on a honeymoon.
Wang Yan picked up 4 grouses effortlessly on the side.
In order to taste the legendary delicious grouse, Wang Yan would rather delay some time digging ginseng, travel again, and return to Yichun. Because I didn't know what to do with grouse, I found a small restaurant to process it.
After plucking and disemboweling the grouse, and cleaning it up, he boiled a pot of boiling water on the stove, put the grouse in the pot, added some salt, pine mushrooms, and then simmered over low heat.
Wang Yan was puzzled: "Just add some salt?" ”
The cook Niu coaxed and asked, "What else?" ”
"No spices?" Wang Yan was afraid that the grouse would have a peculiar smell, so he had to use seasoning to adjust it.
"Can you still taste the original taste of grouse? Isn't it a waste of things? The cook drove Wang Yan with disdain.
Wang Yan's old face turned red and stopped talking.
When the grouse was cooked, Wang Yan invited the cook to eat it together, and generously gave the remaining 3 grouses to the cook.
The cook was happy and laid out a bunch of small plates with soy sauce, salt and pepper, cumin powder, triple oil, sugar, etc.: "You taste it first, and if you don't like it, you can dip it in the seasoning!" ”
Wang Yan tasted the original grouse, and it was really delicious, so he didn't pay attention to the pile of small ingredients next to him.
The cook was very satisfied with Wang Yan's good-natured appearance, and directly arranged for Wang Yan to live in the upstairs room of his hotel, and it was free of charge.
The next day, when Wang Yan left, the cook patted Wang Yan on the shoulder and told me: "In the future, Yichun will look for me, I dare not guarantee anything else, including food and shelter must be the most basic!" ”
Looking at the people of the Northeast is real, as long as you look at your temper, it is absolutely heart-wrenching brothers.
However, Wang Yan must have an indefinite meeting with this benevolent and heroic cook, and he can't expose the traces of his crossing over to pick old mountain ginseng. I'm really sorry for this guy's heart!
After digging for three days, I dug up 11 five-grade leaves, and the other ginseng below the four-grade leaves belonged to those that had not yet grown, so there was no need to destroy the heavens, and I kept them for next time to dig them. Then he used Tianzu Tong and swooped back to his home in Qingshan City, where it was still a sunny morning, no different from when he left.
Wang Yan first went home, hid the ginseng under the bed to dry, and then returned to the food factory to do what to do: inspect the filling, noodles, semi-finished products, finished products, and ask about the sales situation......
Until the evening, I went home and got the smallest six-grade leaf, ready to ask my eldest sister Liu Jianling to identify the ginseng year, and took a taxi to the Qingyuan Hotel for a banquet.
