In the Changbai Mountains of the Great Camp, there are many kinds of precious medicinal materials in the mountains and forests, and the more famous one is naturally ginseng.

Every year in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the ginseng seeds of ginseng mature and turn red, which is called the red hammer, and it is also a good time for the nearby people to dig ginseng and release the mountain to find treasure.

Two days ago, the Wang family in Daying Township, in the area of Heisonggou, dug out a seedling of ginseng, weighing more than five taels.

Of course, this two is the old system, according to the previous one catty and sixteen taels.

Nowadays, in addition to the calculation of ginseng, even the purchase of gold and silver is also according to the old system, waiting for a few years before all will be unified.

As the old saying goes, these seven taels are ginseng and eight taels are treasures, although the ginseng dug by the Wang family is not eight taels, it is not small, and it has also caused a sensation in the entire Erying Township.

In fact, the Wang family didn't want to be too ostentatious, but they couldn't stand it and wanted to sell ginseng at the purchase station of the supply and marketing cooperative.

The Fusong State-owned Pharmaceutical Factory was established in early July, and before that, it had entrusted local purchasing stations to collect all kinds of medicinal materials.

The Wang family took the ginseng to the purchasing station of the Daying Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but the person in charge of the purchasing station was afraid of losing money, so he was only willing to pay 300 yuan.

The Wang family felt that it was too little, so they found Qiaolian and wanted to take them to the purchase station of the county supply and marketing cooperatives through Qu Weiyang.

They are all from the same township, they all know each other, and since people are looking for them, Qu Weiyang is not easy to refuse.

So he took people to Fusong, and did not go to the acquisition station again, but directly found people from the pharmaceutical factory.

As a result, when the pharmaceutical factory saw it, it gave 800 yuan, which more than doubled, which made the Wang family very happy.

Of course, the news that the Wang family bought a ginseng for 800 yuan spread like this, not to mention Daying Township, even the county knew about it.

Eight hundred yuan, which has caught up with the income of ordinary people for five or six years, who knows if you are blushing?

Even Qu Weiyang couldn't stay still, no, he discussed with Qiao Lian at night, and also went into the mountain to try his luck.

"Okay, anyway, the township is not busy at this time, it just so happens that Jiakang Jiayuan is still on summer vacation, and there are people at home to take care of it.

I'll tell Uncle Han tomorrow morning, and we'll go around the woods when the time comes. ”

Qiaolian didn't expect to meet the big mountain goods, but there are a lot of good things in the mountains, wouldn't it be nice if she could meet other medicinal materials?

In this way, the couple discussed properly, and the next morning, Qiaolian rode to the township and asked Secretary Han for leave, only saying that there was something at home and not coming to work for a few days.

At this time, there was nothing to do in the township, and most people went over in the morning to tie their heads and go home when they had nothing to do, so Secretary Han directly agreed.

Back at home, Qu Weiyang and Jiakang were ready.

Putting the mountain is generally a group of several people, it used to be called the Gang, basically the number of people in the Gang is a singular number, which is also a rule, called a single person to double back.

That is to say, if you treat ginseng as a human being, it is a singular number when you enter the mountain, and an even number when you come back, which means that you will have something to gain when you come back.

If you really can't find three people, then you'd rather go into the mountain alone than two people.

In fact, for Qiaolian, the main thing about this rule is for people.

When two people enter the mountain, once they really dig up the ginseng, it is inevitable that some people will move other minds to harm others when they see the wealth.

If there are more people and supervise each other, this is a guarantee.

Although Qiao Lian disagreed with this rule, she was not particularly stubborn.

Besides, Jiakang is nine years old, and he is considered a big child, so it is not bad for him to go with him to see and understand, so he should take the child to play on vacation.

Anyway, with the two of them here, Qu Weiyang still carries a shotgun, and he is not afraid of any beasts.

In this way, Jiakang packed up and followed his parents into the mountain, and Jiayuan watched Jiajun Jiahe at home.

"We may not be able to come back tonight when we go out, we will probably spend the night in the woods, and you will be at home with your two younger brothers.

Lock the door at night and scatter the ashes, or let them in and sleep with you.

I've been preparing the meals at home for a few days, and I'll be able to heat them up when the time comes. Before going out, Qiao Lian did not forget to tell her daughter.

Everything was arranged at home, and the couple carried a big backpack and led Jiakang out of the forest in the direction of Heisonggou.

When the serious staff enters the mountain, everyone has to hold a rope stick in their hands, also called a rope stick.

While walking, pulling the branches and grass blades, several people pulled into a horizontal row and walked forward, some of which are called pressing the trip.

Qu Weiyang and the others only have three people, and they are not serious helpers, so they are more casual, each holding a stick in their hands, and casually pulling the grass forward.

The job of putting the mountain is purely lucky, and if you are lucky, you don't have to go far to meet it, and if you are unlucky, ginseng will grow under your nose, and you may not be able to see it.

In this regard, the three of them all maintain a correct attitude, anyway, they meet the best, and they don't have to be disappointed if they don't meet them.

After all, mountain ginseng is too scarce, and not everyone can have that kind of harvest like the Wang family.

The family of three wandered around the forest for a day, and when it was dark, they did not see a single ginseng, and they were already very far away from home, so they could only stay in the forest at night.

Fortunately, Qiaolian was very well prepared, found a flat place at night, set up a tent, and then put two fires outside, and took out some food, which was really a bit of a feeling of going out to travel and camping in the wild.

When he went out, he brought two big backpacks, so it wasn't too strange for Jiakang to watch his mother take out these things.

After a day of wandering around the woods during the day, the child was also tired, and soon fell asleep after eating.

slept until midnight, Jiakang suddenly woke up, saying that he was going to the toilet, Qu Weiyang was not at ease, and went with him.

"Don't go too far, just the nearest place, this big night, what if there are wild beasts nearby?"

They are now in the deep mountains and old forests, who knows if there are any wild beasts around? I heard a wolf howling before I went to bed just now, and although it was quite far away, I had to be careful.

"Okay, you go to sleep, we'll be back in a moment." Qu Weiyang led Jiakang with a flashlight and walked away.

Qiao Lian didn't have the heart to sleep, so she sat at the entrance of the tent and looked at the direction in which Qu Weiyang and the two of them left.

After a while, I didn't see the two come back, but I vaguely listened to the sound of ah. "Viyan, what's wrong? Is something going on over there? ”

Qiao Lian stood up smartly and ran in the direction of Qu Weiyang's father and son just now.

"Daughter-in-law, Jiakang is rolling down the hillside, don't come here, there is a steep slope here.

We didn't pay attention just now, but one of the black goo rumbling was careless, and Jiakang fell, so I went to find him. Over there, Qu Weiyang's anxious voice came.

Qiaolian heard that her son fell to the bottom of the hillside, is this worth it? Ignoring nothing, he ran in the direction from which the sound came.

"No, what are you two doing running so far? Just go to the toilet, and it's hard work. Qiao Lian was very worried.
