Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Windfall

Honeysuckle, also known as double flowers, can be harvested in two seasons a year, divided into spring and autumn. Autumn double flowers, no matter the color, flower type or medicinal properties, are slightly worse than the spring, of course, the price is also different, the modern history of wild double flowers is almost none, are cultivated high yield, can be picked three seasons a year, but the medicinal effect is greatly reduced.

As soon as the day dawned, the four sisters and brothers went to the mountains, and the people they met on the way praised the sisters for their ability and hard work, and so on.

The place where the honeysuckle grows is not too far away, but there are many bushes in the vicinity, and there is very little firewood to make a fire, so no one comes. The four siblings walked for about half an hour before they arrived at the place.

"Second sister, you take the third brother and the fourth sister to start picking from the periphery, start from the root when picking, be careful, don't use too much force, it won't be worth crushing the flowers. I went inside to pick them, there are too many bushes in it, and you don't often run the mountains, and if you are not careful, you will be scraped. After instructing his younger siblings, he quietly burrowed into the bushes and began to pick.

This honeysuckle grows on the bushes and thorns. The vines were entwined on the thorns, and the four siblings said this, and their hands quickly picked the honeysuckle flowers. After two hours had passed, most of the baskets in front of each of them had been plucked. Quiet raised her head and looked at the sky, the sun had risen to the middle, Quiet was afraid of tired of the two little guys, so she said loudly: "Okay, it's almost over, it's noon now, let's find a cool place to rest, and by the way, eat something and pad it." ”

How many people found a shady place? Putting the basket aside, taking out the water and washing their hands, everyone took a piece of cake and ate it while resting. Jing Jing saw that his younger siblings had scratches on their hands, and he was a little distressed. But she didn't say much, she felt sorry for her younger siblings, especially the two younger ones, but she wouldn't spoil them. No matter what you do, as long as you can do it and there is no big danger, you will call them to participate. I don't care how much I do, I just focus on cultivating their hard-working spirit. The life of his own family will definitely get better and richer. She doesn't want her younger siblings to be lazy and lazy.

After eating the bread and drinking the water, they sat down in the shade of the tree and rested for a long time, and when the sun was not so big, several people continued to pick them. Before the sun goes down, pick up two large backpacks, two small baskets, and a large basket full of them. The four sisters and brothers went home at sunset.

For three days in a row, the four siblings went out early and returned late every day. It won't take more than a day to finish picking this piece of honeysuckle. The ones picked back on the first day have been dried in the sun, and there are only more than 20 catties after the size of the four back baskets plus a basket are dried. Honeysuckle is not light, and it is very difficult to pick. Therefore, in modern times, the price is relatively more expensive. I remember that a good honeysuckle costs 150 or 60 yuan a catty, and I don't know what the price of this honeysuckle is in this era? After all these are picked and dried, there must be a hundred and ten catties. I don't know how much it can be sold?

There are still honeysuckles in other places on this mountain, but there are not as many as this one, and the occasional thirty or fifty plants are too scattered. Quietly thinking about his thoughts, he picked with his hands. Occasionally talking to a few younger siblings, or cutting them a joke or a short story, can also pass the time. A few children were not bored either.

Quietly looked at the two little ones who were laughing happily now, and thought about the emaciated appearance of the two children when they first arrived, staggering and panting after walking a few steps. Nowadays, although people have not gained much weight, their faces are no longer pale and have become ruddy. The scorched and dry hair is now softened and much darker. Even if I work together every day, I have never been out of breath, which shows that it is much better. Especially the third brother, not only has a better complexion, but also grows in size, which is obviously much taller than the fourth sister. Looking at the healthy and lively younger siblings, I am very relieved to be quiet.

The sun rises in the sky, and I rest for lunch as usual. After a few days, it was very safe here, and she wanted to let her younger siblings rest here, so she went inside to see if she could catch some small prey? Or do you find something else?

After explaining to his younger brothers and sisters, Quiet ran into the forest with a bow and arrow. Quietly walked quickly, and walked out of the distance in a few blinks. The road up the hill was quiet, there had never been a walk on the ground before, there was no sign of it ever walking, and the dead branches and leaves were much thicker, and it seemed that no one had ever entered here.

Sunlight filtered through the cracks in the branches, and Quiet raised her head and squinted. The mottled light fell on her face, and she looked a little trance-like. "Huh? What is it? On a dead tree with a crooked neck, a few crimson trees caught her eye.

Quietly walked under the tree and looked closely. It was Ganoderma lucidum, and it turned out to be three red Ganoderma lucidum. Ganoderma lucidum has always been called fairy grass, this red is called red Ganoderma lucidum, and there is a kind of purple Ganoderma lucidum, which generally grows on the root of rotten wood, or on the dry of fallen wood, so it is also called wood Ganoderma lucidum.

Red reishi is relatively common, not as rare as purple reishi, and so valuable. But it is also extremely rare quiet, carefully observed, these three red Ganoderma lucidum surface smooth and shiny, the big one is the size of a bowl, and the two small ones are like teacups. I'm afraid these Ganoderma lucidum are some years old. Quiet was a little excited, I didn't expect to meet Ganoderma lucidum.

Quietly climbed up the trunk of the tree, took out the dagger pinned to his waist, five or six away from the root of the Ganoderma lucidum, began to carefully dig down the three Zhu Lingzhi, one large and two small, and spent a quarter of an hour, the Lingzhi was packed in a cloth bag, carefully pinned to the waist, and then jumped off the trunk and prepared to go back. It's been a while since she's been out, and if she doesn't go back, her younger siblings should be worried.

In the spring, everything comes back to life, and before you know it, the leaves are already green. When I met pheasants and hares that came out to feed, I didn't let go of the quiet. When he returned to his younger siblings, he carried two pheasants and a hare with him.

Anxin was standing on a large rock, looking this way. Seeing the eldest sister coming out of the woods, she shouted happily: "Eldest sister, you have come back and hunted pheasants and rabbits again." We ate meat every day for a while, either pork or pheasant, or hare, and I felt fat. ”

The two little ones were squatting under the tree and counting the ants, and when they saw the eldest sister coming back with pheasants and hares, they also ran forward to watch the excitement. Thinking of the fragrant stewed pheasant and stewed hare, the two little guys covered their mouths and smiled secretly.

Quietly untied the cloth bag around her waist and handed it to Anxin, looked at her and said with a smile: "Second sister, look at what is in this?" ”

An Xin was looking at the pheasants and hares on the ground, and when she heard the eldest sister say this, she reached out and took the cloth bag and shook it. Seeing that it was three mushrooms, she looked at Jing Jing with some confusion and asked, "Eldest sister, isn't it just three mushrooms?" These mushrooms are all dried, and the color is so bright, you must not eat them, what are you picking them for? ”

Listening to the second sister's reassuring words, she was completely dumbfounded, and even the smile on her face froze at the corner of her mouth. It took her a long time to find her voice back, "Mushroom? What mushrooms? This is Ganoderma lucidum red Lingzhi, this is fairy grass! ”

An Xin's eyes widened in surprise, looked at the cloth bag and then at the eldest sister, and asked in a trembling voice: "Eldest sister, you said that this is not a mushroom, it is a fairy grass." The fairy grass that can be sold for money? ”

Quietly sure, forcefully, nodded. Said seriously to the somewhat rigid little girl: "Yes! You heard it right, it's fairy grass, fairy grass that can be sold for money. What do you think? Your eldest sister, my luck is so good! ”

"Eldest sister, what kind of luck are you? Great, isn't it? Just turned around like this, and you will be touched by the fairy grass. Otherwise, why do you often exaggerate my sister's cleverness when my mother is here! I think the eldest sister is not only smart, but also lucky, this entire Qingshan Village, no, the entire Zhoujia Town, there is no one who can compare to my eldest sister. Anxin held three Ganoderma lucidum in his hand, and looked at the quiet eyes with small stars. The little one, although they didn't understand what Ganoderma lucidum was, what fairy grass was, but when they saw that the eldest sister and the second sister were so happy, they knew that this must be a good thing, and they also clapped their hands and laughed.
