After rummaging, I really found a lot of wild kiwi under the leaves, but many of them were broken or eaten by small animals, and only a dozen of them looked intact.

"There really is, maybe it was preserved because the temperature was low on the mountain." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

Kiwifruit has always been Zhao Yuan's favorite fruit, and there is no one. Kiwifruit has a soft texture, sweet and sour taste, and is rich in nutrients.

More than ten small wild kiwifruit, just one person can divide one, Zhao Yuan peeled off the kiwifruit, the emerald green flesh with a fragrance, a bite down, full of real mouth kiwi flesh made Zhao Yuan feel good.

After resting for a while, the group continued to walk up the mountain, but they had not yet reached a place where they could open up the wasteland, and they needed to continue to search.

"Uncle, you have come to the old mountain, where is the best place in this mountain to open up wasteland?" Zhao Yuan asked with a pant.

"There's no place to open up the wasteland here, and I remember there's a big hillside to the north, almost half the way from here."

"That's right, atom, it's still far away, tired, haha." Fifth Uncle Zhao Lao Wu said with a smile.

"Don't be tired, why do we still have to go up, can't we just go directly to the north of the old mountain?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"No, you can't get past here, there's a very steep cliff in the middle, and you have to climb to the top to get there." Uncle Zhao Chuanyi shook his head and said.

Along the way, there were finally more animals, and from time to time pheasants and hares could be seen flashing, and two goats were seen in the distance, but everyone was busy on the road and did not chase these animals.

"Wait, there's good stuff here." Zhao Yuan was walking and observing, and in a pile of weeds, he suddenly saw several precious medicinal herbs.

"What's it, atom?"

"What's the good?"

"Don't you know each other, uncle? That's it? Zhao Yuan pointed to a few dry plants and said.

"What is this?" Uncle Zhao Chuanyi looked at what Zhao Yuan was pointing at and asked.

"Tianma, don't you know?" Zhao Yuan asked again.

"I don't know, maybe the fourth child knows, but recently he has been studying the book you gave him, and he didn't come along." Uncle Zhao Chuanyi shook his head and said.

"Gastrodia is a very precious Chinese herbal medicine, which can treat dizziness, numbness of limbs, convulsions in children and other diseases, like this wild, it is very difficult to see." Zhao Yuan said in popular science.

"It's all dry, it's useless, right?" Zhao Yang said.

"The useful part is not these dry stems, but the capsules that grow in the ground." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.

"Then what are you waiting for, dig it back." Zhao Qiuren said.

"The owner knows so much, I'll dig it up." Tao Pu said with a smile.

"It should have been here for many years, maybe this piece is all, everyone dig carefully." Zhao Yuan also walked to the area where gastrodia grew and said with a smile.

"Okay, be careful, atom, is this Tianma buried deeply?"

"It's not going to be deep, everybody."

Gastrodia gastrodia has no roots and does not grow green leaves, so it cannot rely on photosynthesis to produce nutrients, and mainly symbiotes with a fungus called honey ring fungus, which provides nutrients for gastrodia.

In later generations, in some areas in the south, wooden sticks would be planted in the mountains together with gastrodia seeds, which was a very good cash crop. Wood that has been planted with gastrodia is commonly known as rotten wood, because the growth of honey ring fungus will produce a small amount of fluorescent substances, and at night or in dark places, rotten wood will fluoresce.

"It's a lot, does Gastrodia look like this?" Everyone carefully dug open the soil layer where gastrodia grows, and they saw gastrodia one by one.

"Yes, that's it, these big ones should have been growing for several years, and the medicinal properties should be very strong." Zhao Yuan stepped forward and looked at the gastrodia that everyone dug out and said.

"Can this thing be sold in a medicine shop?"

"Of course you can, the price won't be low." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.

Gastrodia is not only a precious Chinese medicinal material, but also a kind of health care food, the famous poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty in the poem "Zhaiju", there are "a few spoons of porridge with astragalus, a pot of soup with red arrows", in which the red arrow refers to gastrodia.

"I'll dig and see." Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Zhao Tieniu took the hoe and dug nearby, as if he wanted to find more gastrodia.

"Brother Tie Niu, wild gastrodia is very rare, and this piece can be dug so much because no one has come to dig it for many years, and gastrodia grows in a pile, so it is basically impossible to dig indiscriminately." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Atom, you said that these gastrodia are wild gastrodia, and then there are gastrodia that can be grown by yourself?" Uncle Zhao Chuanyi heard Zhao Yuan's words and asked.

"Gastrodia can be planted artificially, and the climate of our gray plain town is very suitable for planting gastrodia, uncle, if you are interested, I can teach you how to plant gastrodia when you go back." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay, I see that this day hemp grows in the mountains, can it be planted in the mountains when it is planted?" Third Uncle Zhao Yuanyun asked.

"Yes, you only need to plant it in the shady mountains, and the soil quality is similar to that here, let's go back and talk about it in detail." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"How do you know so much about atoms?" Uncle Zhao Chuanyi asked curiously.

"It's all seen from books, so our children in Zhaojiazhuang can read more, the more they understand, the greater the role they can play, why not worry about living a good life in the future." Zhao Yuan said in passing.

"Yes, I hope the children can be promising, let's put away these gastrodia, don't let go of the small ones, when you go back to the village to plant gastrodia in the future, these are the seeds." Uncle Zhao Chuanyi nodded and said to everyone.

"It's best to bring some of the soil back here, for gastrodia to grow, you need something that you can't see in the soil here." Zhao Yuan saw that everyone seemed to be going to plant gastrodia when they went back, so he thought about it and reminded. There should be a lot of spores and hyphae in the soil, which can be used as seeds for the honey ring.

After putting away the gastrodia and a few bags of soil, everyone continued to move towards the top of the mountain, but there were no more medicinal herbs found along the way, but there were more animals. However, there were no hunting tools, and these animals were very alert, although Zhao Yuan chased a few times with a few young people, but there was no gain.

The further you go to the top, the wind gets stronger and stronger, and when you get to the top, there is more snow and icicles on the road, and the road becomes more and more difficult to walk.

"Huh, I finally climbed to the top of the mountain, uncle, second uncle, third uncle, fifth uncle, pole uncle, I'm thinking now that we run this old mountain to open up the wasteland, is it a good idea, it's too far." Zhao Yuan gasped and said.

"It's okay, it's not very far, it's not yet noon, and it's about to reach the slope I said." Uncle Zhao Chuanyi tightened his clothes and said with a smile.

"Let's go, it's too cold on the top of this mountain." Second Uncle Zhao Yuancheng also said with a smile.

"Wait, it seems like there's something good here?" On the top of the mountain, leaning on the edge, Zhao Yuan suddenly found a touch of green.

"There's good stuff again, isn't it all snow and ice here?"

"It's a good thing, there is such a big clump of butterfly unicorns here!"
