Ginseng pickers, that is, ginseng pickers, this kind of people are mostly in the north, where ginseng is called a mallet, but in recent years, with the protection of the country and the reduction of natural forests, ginseng pickers have almost disappeared, and those who can do this are generally older, as for the young ones who have gone out to work, some people don't even know what ginseng looks like.

Wang Daguang's brilliance is not ginseng, but codonopsis, in Wushan, ginseng pickers like him are now quite rare, a few decades ago there were at least a dozen people in a village, now several villages may not be able to produce one, people are more accustomed to large-scale planting, rather than relying on God, and the wild codonopsis is now quite rare.

After getting to know Qiubai, Wang Daguang has let down his vigilance, celebrities are still very effective in these years, and the fame of Repulse Bay even knows this old man, so naturally he will not think that Qiubai is stealing, Wang Daguang refers to stealing things in fact, poaching, don't look at Wang Daguang is thin and thin, but if he really encounters this kind of person, Wang Daguang probably dares to cut it with a sickle.

"Old man Wang, have you picked ginseng?" Xu Bo followed behind Wang Daguang and asked with great interest, he was quite curious about these strange things, otherwise he would not have traveled everywhere.

"I didn't pick a single plant today." Wang Daguang said happily: "Now that there are fewer party ginseng, it is not easy to pick them." ”

"I'm glad you did."

"If there is anything uneasy, I can pick what I can pick, if I can't pick it, even if I can't pick it, it's okay, and I don't rely on picking party ginseng to eat." Wang Daguang was still happy, revealing indifference.

"You have land at home, right?"

"Well, there is a little bit of land, which is planted with red roots, not grain."

"How many people are there in the family, old man?"

"I have a baby, the baby got married, moved to live in the city, my mother-in-law died, and now I am alone."

"Oh, it seems to be very hard, by the way, old man, is there a phone in the village?"

"Village? No, the village, our people are far away, Zhang Mazi has a phone, you want to call, let him call you. ”

"Well, it's a call, my phone is dead."

"How many days have you been in the mountains?"

"Three or four days."

"Oh, that's Monkey Mountain, there are a lot of golden monkeys, last year someone caught a few golden monkeys and sold them, and they were caught by the police station, by the way, do you eat hawthorn?" Wang Daguang spoke a little incoherently, and said whatever he wanted.

"Needless to say, don't bother the old man."

"Oh, it's not troublesome, there are a lot of hawthorn trees in front of me when I walk through here, and now they're all good, you can eat them, and you don't care about them."

"Oh, hawthorn tree? Then I'll pick a few and eat them. Xu Bo's eyes lit up, wild hawthorns are rare now.

In fact, many wild fruits are rare in the wild now, that is, there are still in the mountains like this, but with the gradual reduction of forest resources, this kind of thing will be cut down by people sooner or later.

Turning a mountain col, Wang Daguang pointed forward: "If you see it, it's there." ”

Qiubai and Xu Bo looked at it, only to see more than a dozen hawthorn trees growing there, wild hawthorn trees belong to shrub plants, so they don't grow tall, just over a meter, the red hawthorn fruit hangs all over the branches, looking extremely festive, and a few birds who don't know whether they are sparrows or what are pecking there.

"Old man, then I'll pick it." Xu Bo said.

"Go ahead, Boss Lin, why don't you pick something to eat? It's a little sour, but the taste is okay. Wang Daguang also followed the trend and called Qiubai Boss Lin.

Qiubai thought about it and followed Xu Bo, Xiaobai didn't move, and Bajin and No. 4 didn't move.

Xu Bo walked to the side, did not rush to pick it up, but picked up the camera and took a few photos first, and then handed the camera to Qiubai: "Come and help me take a few photos." ”

Qiubai took the camera speechlessly, Xu Bo smiled brightly there, Qiubai pressed the shutter, and by the way, he despised it: "Photography is the most cheesy than scissor hands." ”

"What's that comparison? Scissor legs? I've got to have that. ”

Qiubai picked a few, turned around and asked, "Old man Wang, do you want to eat it?" ”

Wang Daguang shook his head: "I don't want it, my teeth can't work." ”

Rock sugar hawthorn is sweet, but this kind of hawthorn is quite sour, ordinary people really can't eat a few, it is easy to fall teeth, Qiubai picked a few that look complete, Xu Bo picked a lot, and then threw it into the backpack, it seems that if you don't eat enough, you won't stop.

After picking hawthorn, Qiubai and others just left, a few birds flew back, there is not much food that can be eaten in winter, this hawthorn is the main food of birds, like golden monkeys also love to eat this kind of food, the hands are fast and the hands are slow, and the birds that get up early have fruits to eat.

The mountain road that Wang Daguang took the two of them was very small, because there were very few people walking, but compared to climbing the cliff, this kind of road was like an avenue, Xu Bo threw a hawthorn into his mouth, and asked: "Old man, how many golden monkeys are there in Monkey Mountain?" ”

"When I was younger, there were several groups, but then they fought, and they ran away a few groups, and now there is only one group, a dozen monkeys."

Although the golden snub-nosed monkey seems helpless in front of the natural enemy, it is not soft on the same kind, with the family as a unit, divided into a group of groups, they will grab territory, the monkey king and the monkey king fight, lose the direct go, sometimes even kill other monkey kings, so don't look at the golden monkey beautiful appearance, it is also full of bloody violence.

"That's Monkey Mountain over there, what is it over here?"

"This mountain doesn't have a name, over there." Wang Daguang pointed to the endless mountain on the right: "It's called Big Bear Mountain, and there are bears in it." ”

"Black bear?"

"Well, I used to roar at night, and it was very scary."

"And now?"

"It's winter now, and the black bears have to sleep."

"No, I mean there are still black bears in Big Bear Mountain?"

"Yes, last year when I picked Codonopsis, I saw a black bear, staggering, peeing under a tree, it was making a turf, the big bear was more than a person, it was very strong, I saw it, it also saw me, and then it scared away."

"Scared away? No way? Xu Bo said in surprise.

In Xu Bo's impression, how fierce the bear is blind, although it is said that the tiger is the king of beasts, but the three major in the mountains can not be provoked, tigers, bears, wild boars, it is generally believed that the bear is actually more domineering than the tiger, because it is big, a bear paw to shoot down, the tree has to be broken, much stronger than the tiger, this domineering creature will actually scare away.

"It's scared away." Wang Daguang didn't care about Xu Bo's doubts, and explained: "In the past, there were many hunting people in the mountains, and there were shotguns, and many bears suffered losses, but now bears generally run when they see people, and they will not attack people." ”

"Oh, I see." Xu Bo sighed, and the bear was also frightened.

"So is anyone poaching now?"

"Yes, why not, there are still many animals, there are many animals in Wushan, deer, antelope, civet, roe deer, all kinds of pheasants, you can sell one for hundreds of yuan, so there are many people who steal, and the political axe can't control it."

"Are there more wild animals now? It shouldn't be much to steal like that, right? ”

"Now there are fewer others, that is, there are more wild boars, and the red fields I plant are for wild boars to eat, otherwise I will plant bud grains."

"Ah, why?"

"Wild boars are the same as domestic pigs, giving birth to babies and growing fast, the political axe said, to let the wild boar grow, and then to fight, after the fight and then sell, than the seller of the pig is more comfortable, now we have thousands of wild boars in the mountains, there are many, sometimes they will run to the house to arch, at night if you don't pay attention to the wall will be arched."

Qiubai smiled, this is really relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, the political axe here is also wonderful, raising pigs in the mountains, and then developing the economy, but it is similar to the happiness of the ten teams.

Is wild boar good to eat? I have eaten all know, absolutely delicious, wild boar has many characteristics, one is particularly thin, because there is almost no fat on the wild boar, all are thin, and then there is wild boar compared with domestic pork, wild boar is a little dry, chewing a little hard, but the more you chew, the more fragrant, the third is wild boar oil, so generally with stir-fry, put more chili pepper that tastes amazing, the last point is recognized, that is, wild boar is a green ecological food, no artificial feed, no additives, no hormones, people eat wild boar to absolutely rest assured, so wild boar is much more expensive than domestic pork.

A domestic pig of two or three hundred catties, the price in the market is about one or two thousand yuan, and the price of a wild boar of the same weight has to be increased by more than two to three times.

"When did this happen?" Qiubai asked.

"Half a year ago, half a year ago, the political axe issued a notice, and bought a lot of wild boars to put into the mountains, now there are many, and you can hear the howling call at night."

"Half a year ago?" Qiubai was thoughtful.

Xu Bo leaned over and said with a smile: "Could it be that the political axe here was inspired by Longtan Town, so he did this?" ”

Qiubai smiled, did not speak, although not sure, but should be more or less affected by Longtan District, although Qiubai has now eaten enough rabbit meat, but tourists are not enough, in fact, Wan Chai Hotel can receive nearly 100 hares every day, all of which are caught by tourists outside, and take them to Wanchai Hotel for the chef to do, and charge a manual fee, the rabbits in Longtan District are so fat, they all say so.

Wang Daguang talked a lot, he couldn't stop talking about Wushan, he would talk about legends, and he would talk about myths, such as a big snake in Wushan, very big, when digging the railway, he dug it, and then the big snake shook his body, stood up, walked with four feet, walked into Wushan and lay down again, listen to Wang Daguang's description, this snake must not be hundreds of miles, anyway, the black eyebrows are not comparable to the horse, and then talk about the deeds of mountain spirits and wild monsters, such as the party ginseng changed people, and the fox spirit that hooked people's souls with a smile, Qiubai and Xu Bo knew that it was fake, but they also listened to it with relish, that is, sometimes Wang Daguang spoke local dialect that Xu Bo couldn't understand, so he had to let Qiubai translate.

Walking like this, he climbed over two big hills, and walked from the morning to the sky, and Wang Daguang finally said that it was almost there.

The mountains here are a little shorter, and there are sometimes traces of cultivated land nearby, but it's winter, and there's nothing planted in the fields, because red vetch is not planted in this season. (To be continued.) )
