Chapter 35: The Discovery of Ginseng
Ye Zhinan was startled by Ye Qing's voice, and hurriedly looked over, only to see a bunch of red bean-like flowers blooming in a cluster of green leaves, "What is this?" ”
I've never seen it, but it's not scary, right?
Ye Qing patted Ye Zhinan's arm: "Ginseng, do you know ginseng?" This wild ginseng is very valuable. ”
As soon as Ye Zhinan heard that it was valuable, he pulled it out without saying a word.
Ye Qing was too late to stop it, a good ginseng let Ye Zhinan pull it out from the half-middle, the ginseng body is as thick as a baby's arm, and it looks very good at first glance, but unfortunately it was pulled out by Ye Zhinan, a reckless boy.
"It's not worth anything if it's broken, the next time you meet this, you have to dig it carefully with a shovel and a knife, and ginseng has spirituality, if you pull it off like this, you won't be able to find the lower half of it."
The reason why Ye Qing knew about ginseng was because he was not in good health for a while, so he studied with an old Chinese medicine doctor and conditioned his body by the way.
I heard a lot of legends about precious medicinal herbs from old Chinese medicine practitioners.
Let's just say that this ginseng, which was later used for medicinal purposes, was basically planted artificially, and the medicinal effect was halved a lot. The real wild ones have been almost destroyed by humans.
And ginseng has spirituality, otherwise there would be a legend of a ginseng doll, and if it was discovered by humans, it would run underground and hide itself, and it would notify the nearby ginseng to hide.
Ye Qing had always been skeptical about this, and later went to the mountains in the northeast with the old Chinese medicine doctor to dig ginseng once, only to find that it would really disappear from under his nose.
Ye Zhinan carried half of the ginseng and scratched his head in annoyance: "What should I do?" Sister, I didn't mean to, I thought it was like pulling a turnip. ”
Ye Qing smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, it means that we have no fate with this ginseng, but since one can be found here, then there must be one in this mountain, and we have nothing to do in the past two days to come and look for it." ”
You can dig up some ginseng and go to the city to exchange money, and the more money in your pocket at that time, the more confidence you have.
Ye Zhinan nodded again and again: "Okay, we will come over tomorrow with shovels and knives to dig ginseng." ”
Ye Qing thought for a while: "You can't let anyone know about this matter, not even your parents." To get rich, you have to get rich secretly. ”
Ye Zhinan didn't ask why, just nodded vigorously: "Okay, no one will say anything." ”
Ye Qing broke off half of the ginseng and put it in his pocket, picked up the rotten pine leaves and buried the ginseng leaves, and there was no trace of it before continuing to walk around the forest with Ye Zhinan.
I didn't dare to go too far and return the same way for fear of getting lost, and sure enough, the baby is hard to find.
Out of the forest, Ye Zhinan was still annoyed: "I would have been careful if I had known, oops, sister, am I too stupid." ”
Ye Qing smiled: "Shuiwa, you're not stupid, you're too reckless, you can't do this next time." ”
Ye Zhinan regretted it non-stop, and took Ye Qing to the top of the mountain with broken thoughts, and walked a little longer to the reservoir.
Ye Qing realized that they were walking on a wild road, and there was a winding mountain road on the side of the reservoir that led down the mountain, and then went out in a zigzag way.
There are many children as old as Ye Zhinan swimming in the reservoir.
Seeing that Ye Qing was a lesbian, they all screamed and jumped into the water, or drilled into the woods next to them.
Ye Qing couldn't cry or laugh: "You guys don't know how to be shy when you're so old?" Also bare-bottomed bath. ”
Ye Zhinan was cheeky: "What's this, no one is longer than anyone else, and if the pants are lost, then they will really be bare-bottomed." ”
Ye Qing chuckled and followed Ye Zhinan to the other side of the reservoir, lest the group of children suffocate in the water.
Just in time for the city leaders to come to inspect the work, a row of jeeps parked on the side.
Ye Zhinan looked at it curiously: "Sister, did you go to the city to take such a car?" ”
Ye Qing shook his head: "No, it's a big kind of car." ”
Ye Zhinan was a little yearning: "I haven't even taken a car yet, but I've taken a tractor borrowed from the village." When I'm 18 years old, I'm going to learn how to drive a tractor and become a tractor driver. ”
Ye Qing encouraged: "As long as you work hard, you will definitely achieve it in the future." ”
Sun Cheng accompanied the city leaders to inspect the reservoir to ensure that the water was abundant during the autumn planting, but he unexpectedly saw Ye Qing and a big boy, the two looked quite alike, they should be sisters and brothers.
said hello to the people who traveled with him, and walked towards Ye Qing and Ye Zhinan.
Ye Qing was also surprised that he didn't expect to meet Sun Cheng here, and greeted him with a polite smile: "Comrade Sun, are you here to inspect the work?" ”
When Ye Zhinan saw Sun Cheng in a white shirt, his nervous palms were sweating, and he didn't dare to speak a little restrainedly.
Sun Chengchong smiled kindly at the two sisters and brothers: "Why are you here, I remember that Xiaohe Village is some distance away from here." ”
Ye Qing pointed behind him: "My mother's family is from Yangjiagou behind, and we came over the mountain." ”
Sun Cheng squinted for a while: "That's not close, you guys have nothing to do and go back early, there are still wild beasts in the mountains at night." ”
Ye Qing smiled and thanked: "I'll be back in a while, let's just come and see, I heard that with this reservoir, we won't be afraid of the crops running out of water in the future when there is a drought." ”
Sun Cheng nodded: "Yes, but the storage capacity of this reservoir is far from enough, and another reservoir may be built near the back." By the way, sister-in-law, didn't you say you were going to the city? Recently, I may have to go to the provincial capital to study for a month, if you can't find it, I'll look for it..."
Ye Qing waved his hand: "It's okay, you just go and study." I probably won't be there for a while. ”
There must be other treasures in the deep mountains, and she hasn't figured it out yet, so she won't be in a hurry to go to the city first.
Sun Cheng thought about it: "I'll come back in September, and you can go to me when the time comes." ”
Ye Qing nodded: "Okay, I'll have to trouble Comrade Sun then." ”
Sun Cheng didn't want a group of leaders to wait too long, so he hurriedly said a few words and left in a hurry.
It wasn't until Sun Cheng walked away that Ye Zhinan's mother breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister, how do you know such a big leader?" ”
Ye Qing wondered: "Is it a big leader?" ”
Ye Zhinan nodded again and again: "It's very big, you don't see that you are wearing a white shirt, pants and shoes are new, and you are still sitting in a car, you must be a great leader." Our township chief is still riding a broken bicycle. ”
Ye Qing laughed: "If you work hard, you will be able to take a car every day in the future." ”
Ye Zhinan didn't dare to think about it, he thought that if he could have a bicycle, it would be fine.
When the two of them returned from the mountains, it was already dark.
The lights were on in the courtyard, and under the loofah shelf sat five or six men, old and young, and one wearing gold-rimmed glasses, still wearing a tunic on such a hot day, with a pen in his jacket pocket.
Ye Qing looked at Ye Zhinan with some surprise, and wanted to ask him what was going on?
Ye Zhinan's face was full of unhappiness, and he muttered in a low voice: "The working group is here to mix again." ”
