There are a few dishes on the bluestone table in the small courtyard, there are home-pickled green dripping pickles, there are white and tender cold bamboo shoots, there are crisp cucumbers, all of which are extremely simple and refreshing, plus steaming steamed buns, a few bowls of yellow and clear millet porridge, just a look, it makes Ji Nian's stomach growl, speaking of which he patronized and drank wine last night, and did not eat good food, this night, he was already hungry and panicked, quickly washed his hands and sat down, picked up the rice bowl and picked up the steamed buns and ate them.

"Did you just take a picture at Beilin Spring?" Liang Anfu picked up a chopstick pickle and put it in his mouth, and asked casually.

"Yes, I happened to meet Brother Liu's mother at the lotus seat just now, and she told me about Beilin Spring, so I went to see it. However, I feel that there is no way to compare the stele forest spring and the lotus seat, the lotus seat is still a bit of a sense of historical vicissitudes, but although the stele forest spring is also a little old, but those horizontal and vertical steles are incomplete, it is clearly a new product, and it should not be more than 20 years. Fu Bo, it wasn't called Beilin Spring before, was it? Ji Nian asked after taking a sip of rice porridge.

"That's right, it wasn't called Beilin Spring before, in fact, it was the same as the Qinghuai River, called Qinghuai Spring. I've heard from old people that in the past, all the locust trees that grew around the spring were turned into stone monuments when a fire destroyed them. ”

"Speaking of those stone tablets, I know how to come, there is a quarry near our village, they also carve stone tablets or something, some carved waste stones have no place to put it, so they directly pull it over and pile it there, this back and forth, it is more and more piles, and then Qinghuai Spring is called Stele Forest Spring."

Liang Anfu's words are the most authoritative and authentic explanation.

Oh, I see, no wonder the difference is so big.

"In fact, our stone village has a lotus seat, a stele forest spring, a river in front of the mountain, and an original natural scenery, so it is very suitable to transform it into a tourist village. In particular, the weather-beaten stone houses and stone roads are a unique style. Although I didn't look closely, I could see the stone arch holes left between the alleys and alleys, the intersection of high alleys and low alleys, and the communication by stone steps, which are all artistic witnesses of ancient craftsmen, as long as they are properly publicized, they can definitely form a sensational effect. At that time, there was no need for people in our village to go out to work, and they could earn money by opening a hotel and farmhouse at home. Ji Nian is now learning and selling and said.

"We all understand what you said, no, I heard that the county is already formulating a plan and is preparing to develop tourism in our village." Liang Anfu waved his hand and smiled, as if he had seen the happy days ahead.

Ji Nian couldn't help nodding, raised his thumb and said, "That's good, maybe I'll have to call you Boss Liang in the future." ”

Liang Anfu smiled, followed the conversation, and asked directly: "Xiao Nian, let's go to Dameng Mountain today and take a look at those wild medicinal materials, right?" ”

"Well, I came here to see those medicinal herbs, but I can't just eat and drink, but I have plenty of time, so I don't have to be busy going up the mountain today. I want to go around the village first. Mainly those who go to Zhonghai City to sell medicinal materials, I think they should always have some medicinal materials in stock, I can help them take a look. Ji Nian thought about it and said, he was not in a hurry to go up the mountain, compared with looking at the medicinal materials, he was more concerned about the green dragon wood.

I don't know who else has it in this village.

What Ji Nian can be sure of now is that there must be no around the village, because after running along the road in the village in the morning, the vitality in the palms of his hands is not moving in the rest of the place, except for the lotus seat, which already explains the problem, and I only hope that there will still be green dragon wood in the farmer's house.

"Okay, hurry up and eat, I'll take you to see it after eating."

After breakfast, Ji Nian went to visit the door under the leadership of Liang Anfu. Not every household in the stone village knows how to pick herbs, so there are only six companies that go to Zhonghai City to sell medicinal materials, and after the first four families have been there, Ji Nian went directly to Liu Guangli's house.

This is his last hope, if there is no green dragon wood here, he can only go to the mountain to try his luck, he will not carry it like this, not a single green dragon wood can not be found, Ji Nian is quite speechless, but think about it, this thing is so precious, if the whole village can pick it up, then will it be his turn?

When Ji Nian walked into Liu Guangli's house, he found that he was drying medicinal herbs in the yard, and when he saw Ji Nian coming in, Liu Guangli quickly put down his work and beckoned to sit down. Ji Nian came over with Liang Anfu and a few other medicine pickers, and even some people came over to watch the excitement.

"Huh." Ji Nian just sat down, raised his eyebrows, flashed a strange surprise, it was really the emperor who lived up to his heart, from the moment he entered the door, the vitality of his palm began to rotate slowly, his eyes swept over with the direction indicated by the vitality, and finally determined that the location was in the firewood room.

Since devouring the Yuan Qi in the Lotus Seat, Ji Nian has discovered that the Yuan Qi in the palm has an additional function, which can sense the external Yuan Qi at the same time, and also form an arrow in the palm to indicate the direction.

This alone can save Ji Nian a lot of time and trouble.

Although Ji Nian really wants to go over and have a look now, but this occasion is not right now, there are so many people around him, he can't just leave, right? Even when he went to the toilet, he felt a little uncomfortable. Let's send the group of people in front of me away, and talk to Liu Guangli in private.

After making up his mind, Ji Nian didn't think about it anymore, stood up and walked to a basket, twisted a whisker-like thing from it and asked, "Brother Liu, are you drying astragalus?" ”

"Yes, it's astragalus." Liu Guangli nodded and said, "Ji Nian, can you tell us about drying astragalus like this?" And what do we need to pay attention to when picking astragalus? By the way, you know that, right? The medicinal herbs we sold in Zhonghai Market were not 100% wild, and they should be called semi-wild. ”

The so-called semi-wild refers to the artificial cultivation on the slopes of the mountains and allowing them to grow naturally. This kind of cultivation is called semi-wild, and there is still a difference between the wild astragalus that grows purely in the mountains. However, Ji Nian is very supportive of semi-wild planting, because these years of wanton picking, so that the wild astragalus in the mountain is almost extinct, if you don't take some control measures, is it really until there is no wild astragalus in the mountain to know regret?

"Of course I do."

Ji Nian swept the audience with a smile, "Fellow villagers, I don't hide it, I recognize your adoption of this semi-wild way of cultivating medicinal materials, although wild medicinal materials are rare and can be sold more expensively, but the quantity is scarce after all, not to mention, there must be some danger when picking." ”

"Don't think that the sinister plots mentioned in the novel are fictional, and there will be animals such as poisonous snakes and poisonous spiders next to the truly valuable wild medicinal herbs. Animals are also spiritual, and they also want to wait until the herbs are ripe to eat them. If you encounter these ferocious insects and poisons during picking, it is really dangerous to lose your life if you are slightly injured or serious. Therefore, if you adopt the semi-wild cultivation method, you can safely pick the medicinal herbs, and you can also sell them for a lot of money. ”

"Then what kind of medicinal herbs should we grow to make more money?" The questions asked by the villagers were very real.

"Well, this doesn't absolutely depend on the market, as long as you want, any medicinal herb can be planted. As far as I know, Brother Liu's family planted astragalus, while Fu Bo's family planted angelica, and you can also plant Bupleurum and the like. As long as the medicinal herbs reach the age of the herbs, as long as you are careful when picking them and do not break them, then I guarantee that you can sell what you plant. ”

"Hehe, you must know that the Qihuang Pavilion of our Zhonghai City does not refuse to come to the medicinal materials, you can be completely assured of this. Now I will first tell Brother Liu about the precautions for picking this astragalus, and you big guys can also listen to it if you are interested. Ji Nian picked up a piece of astragalus, put it to his nose and smelled it, his eyes were slightly closed, and when he opened it again, he had already sorted out the language.

"Since our village cultivates astragalus, we should have a minimum understanding of this medicinal material. I believe you all know that astragalus is edible, and decoction or soaking in water with astragalus can prevent the occurrence of diseases. Sure enough, the most important thing is to replenish qi, for example, if you have those weak people in your family, their limbs are weak, and they are prone to colds when the weather changes, then taking astragalus can replenish deficiency and nourish qi, which is different from ginseng. ”

"Ginseng is an urgent supplement, and astragalus is a slow supplement. Therefore, if the people in our village want to live a long and healthy life, it is best to drink astragalus in wine and stir-fry vegetables... Generally speaking, Brother Liu's family still has a set of picking and drying astragalus, have you seen it? The astragalus he picked was all whole roots, and most importantly, it didn't hurt the skin and didn't break the roots. In this way, the integrity of the astragalus can be guaranteed. ”

At the same time, after picking it, it is necessary to wash off all the soil, cut the head and remove the beard, take advantage of the good weather to dry until it is semi-dry, and then let the astragalus regain the moisture, and then spread it out to dry. This is repeated until all the astragalus is dry. Finally, the roots are straight, tied into small bundles, and then they can be taken out and sold. ”

……

At this moment, Ji Nian was bathed in the sunshine, talking eloquently, that slightly green face, exuding a kind of warmth that made people feel extraordinarily kind, if Zhao Jingluo saw his current appearance, he would definitely be more sure how wise his decision to accept Ji Nian as a disciple was.

Isn't a person who is willing to impart knowledge selflessly deserves everyone's respect?

Selfless at the same time, but also so profound, this kind of disciple is difficult to find with a lantern, how can you miss it?

Ji Nian knows everything and says everything, if anyone doesn't understand something, or has any doubts, he will seriously re-explain. After two hours like this, he had a dry mouth and a smoking voice.

Seeing this situation, Liang Anfu got up and shouted that the big guy dispersed first, and the villagers all looked at Ji Nian with great gratitude, and called him a teacher when they left, and invited Ji Nian to their own house for dinner. But Zhou Lihua blocked back without hesitation, just kidding, everyone has come to their own house, if they can't keep it, there is really no place for this old face.

When the villagers who asked for advice dispersed, the small courtyard that was noisy just now quieted down in a blink of an eye, and when there was no one at this moment, Ji Nian got up and walked to the toilet. He said he was going to the toilet, but in fact he couldn't help but want to go to the firewood room to have a look.

When he saw the inconspicuous pile of wood thrown on the ground like that, and some of them had grown moss, Ji Nian felt inexplicably in his heart, it was really a tyrannical thing, and there was a treasure worth a thousand gold.
