Legend has it that the first person to enter Tianbai Mountain to dig ginseng was Sun Liang, a native of Haidong. He and his friend went into the mountains to dig ginseng, but unexpectedly, his friend suddenly disappeared.

In order to find a friend, Sun Liang searched for seven days and seven nights, and finally starved and died in Tianbai Mountain.

Later generations say that because Sun had a good conscience and was righteous, he moved the emperor.

The Emperor of Heaven couldn't bear to see his soul lonely after his death, so he named him the mountain god and took charge of Tianbai Mountain.

Bless the people who release the mountain from encountering jackals, tigers and leopards, and successfully pick up treasures.

After the three of them kowtowed, Ning Hu shouted again "Bow to the head"

Next to the big tree, there is the old head tablet of the Ning family, and all the heads of the Ning family will be buried here after death.

I saw that the tombs next to it were endless, and they were everywhere, and it could be seen that the Ning family had been putting the mountains for a long time.

"Worship the mountain god and the head, don't worry about going into the mountain to hunt for treasure!

Ning Hu shook his arm, took the "Suo Bao Stick" next to him, and walked forward first.

The surrounding crowd also shouted, "Dig the mallet!"

One after another, they followed forward, only to hear the cries echoing in the valley, endlessly.

Ning Xie has been walking for more than ten days with the deep and shallow feet of the Fangshan team, even if his father is the leader of the team.

And the remaining two key roles, the "side stick" of the team, and the "end pot" who is in charge of cooking.

are all his distant cousins, and they take good care of him in life.

But Ning Xie is just a pampered high school student after all, when has he ever suffered like this?

I hadn't walked a few steps today, but I threw my stick aside and yelled for a rest.

Ning Hu, who is usually kind to his son, is thunderous at the moment.

He scolded sharply: "Look at the old forests of the White Mountain on this day! Everywhere the weeds and thorny shrubs are half a man high, there is no road at all, and if you don't keep it, you will encounter wild beasts."

This treasure stick is not only a talisman blessed by the mountain gods, but also a necessity when we travel.

And when you get lost at a critical moment, you can also determine the location of your companions through the sound of the tree. How dare you throw it around and pick it up!'

Ning Xie obediently picked up the Suo Bao stick, but Ning Hu seemed to be angry, and immediately rushed up to teach his son a lesson.

When the people around saw this, they immediately went to pull the rack, after all, they were all members of the same family, and they all knew that Ning Hu was deeply in love and responsible.

really let him beat his son, and when he goes back, he will not let everyone go.

"Isn't it just a broken wooden stick, what's the big deal" Ning Xie muttered in his mouth, and was pulled aside by his "side stick" cousin.

"Don't blame your father for his bad temper, there are rules and taboos for this mountain.

Pay special attention to your words and deeds, such as "taking food" when you eat, and "taking a room" when you sleep.

As for ginseng, it must be called a "mallet", and when you encounter a snake, you must not hurt it at will. Don't even mention the snake, you have to call it "money strings".

It's been more than ten days since I came out, and I haven't picked a mallet yet, so your father must be in a hurry.

Moreover, the treasure stick was blessed by the mountain god, and it must be placed vertically, not horizontally on the ground.

If you throw it on the ground like this, your father will be a ghost if he doesn't get angry!"

The cousin patted Ning Xie on the shoulder, told him some taboos about letting go of the mountain, and went to comfort his father.

"Hey, you can't blame the toilet for, and you can't blame me if you don't find the mallet. Resources are scarce now, how can they be so easy to find!"

Everyone is moving deeper into the mountains and forests, the giant trees that cover the sky and the sun, and the thorns that are overgrown. It all made Ning Xie's mood worse and worse, and he was still complaining about his father.

"Stop!" Ning Hu shouted, and the team stopped.

I saw him observe the distribution of plants around him, and then stand on a high place to observe the direction of the mountains and rivers.

Directly stood on the spot with the Suo Bao stick in his hand and knelt on the ground sincerely.

Put your hands together and chatter: "Qionglun is brilliant, and there is no loss." Xuanjing is clear......"

The people around him were all stunned, and they quietly watched Ning Hu chanting the mantra.

"Side stick" cousin looked mysterious and whispered to Ning Xie.

"This is the ancestral "Seeking Ginseng Mantra" of your Ning family, which has been passed down from man to woman for generations, and only the head of the family is qualified to learn.

Legend has it that as long as you recite this "mantra to find ginseng", you will definitely dig up a big mallet, and I haven't seen your father recite it for a long time.

You are his son, and you will definitely learn this skill in the future, and we will definitely have a great harvest today!" the cousin looked excited.

Ning Hu looked solemn and said with a straight face: "The shady hillside in front, everyone acts separately and searches carefully!"

Everyone led the order forward, and Ning Xie also followed his cousin forward.

"Ginseng likes to grow in dense forests and likes to grow on brown forest soils.

And it needs to be more abundant humus, and likes scattered light and weaker sunlight, all of which we generally look for in the shade.

There are weeds everywhere, and ginseng is hidden in them, so be sure to ...... carefully"

The cousin of the "side stick" is still chattering.

Ning Xie suddenly stopped and froze in place.

"What's the matter? I'm tired of walking again and want to rest? I want to finish this piece, otherwise your dad will say it" The cousin was still pulling Ning Xie and wanted him to move forward.

But Ning Xie was unmoved, his eyes staring straight ahead.

I saw that in the depths of the weeds not far away, there was a little red in the green bushes, and the mature ginseng seeds looked particularly red against the backdrop of green leaves.

Ning Xie also seemed to be a little unconvinced by his eyes, pointed to the red ginseng seeds and asked, "Brother, do you think it's ginseng?"

After all, the cousin is the "side stick" in charge, and he can be said to be a veteran of the mountain, but he knows that he has encountered a big stick mallet just by looking at it.

The cousin didn't say a word, and ran close to him in ecstasy.

Shouted: 'Mallet!'

Then he lay down gently, carefully pinched the ginseng seedling leaves with one hand, let go of his throat and shouted: 'There is a mallet......

I only heard responses from all over the place,

"What kind of goods......

"Five-Rank Leaf ......"

There are questions and answers, and there are all responses. It's like singing a mountain song.

Ning Hu was not far away, and the closest one came first.

Cover it with a straw hat so that the ginseng is tied up, and tie the ginseng to the branch with a red rope, so that the ginseng is finished, and the ginseng is caught.

Ning Hu looked happy, patted the shoulder of the "side stick" cousin, and praised loudly.

"You kid is good, being a side stick is considered to have wronged you, this time it is your first credit!"

The cousin hurriedly waved his hand and refused, and said to Ning Hu: "Boss, this credit should be Ning Xie's, it is his sharp eyes that can find this big mallet." ”

Ning Xie next to him said slightly apologetically: "It's not that my cousin didn't tell you just now, but the rules on the mountain."

When you find ginseng, you can't say a word, you have to shout "mallet", and it will be frozen and not run.

I didn't expect you kid to be a lucky star, and this mantra is also a true spirit, and you will have a harvest just after reciting it. ”

As soon as I saw this color, I knew that the harvest was huge, and my cousin was also very happy.

The person next to him knelt down and took out the tools for digging ginseng.

Inside, deer bone chisels, mallet needles, quick knives, quick axes, all available.

I started digging with a mallet needle at a distance of 40 cm from the ginseng, and then dug a large circle 1 meter square with the ginseng as the center and enclosed it inside.

Finally, at a distance of 4 to 5 cm from the ginseng, the shoots are cut to ensure the freshness of the ginseng.

The next step is to work meticulously, inviting the ginseng out little by little, sometimes digging for even hours.

"Look at this reed, there have been at least sixty years of fire.

But the best and best goods, not a single ginseng whisker can be dug up, and if it is broken, it will be in bad condition, and the price will fall sharply."

Ning Hu has been supervising on the sidelines, and sometimes he will do it himself, and the hard work of more than ten days has finally paid off, and everyone is still very happy.

Finally, I saw the whole picture of this big mallet, which can be said to be "long and clear like a strip of leather, and pearl dots dotted under the beard." "It's a rare gem in the market.

Ning Hu gently shook off the soil on it with his hands, as if he was holding a newbie father with a newborn child, his movements were gentle and delicate.

Wrap the ginseng with fresh moss and birch leaves, mix it with a little freshly dug ginseng soil, and tie it with a straw rope to form a ginseng wrap.

Seeing that Ning Hu seemed to be afraid that he was not fastened tightly, he also pulled it twice vigorously.

Everyone knows that he is only calm on the surface, but in fact, the pressure on his head is the greatest.

Now that the mallet was in hand, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and began to calculate in their hearts how much they could share, and when they got home, they would add something to it.

It's getting late, so I won't be returning for the time being.

More than ten days of eating and sleeping in the open, compressing dry food, and making people's mouths fade out of birds.

Finally arrived at the return trip, and the "end pot" didn't need to worry about it, took out the treasured food, and showed his skills to let everyone feast.

Freshly picked hazelnut mushrooms on the mountain, paired with bacon.

The smooth and refreshing mushrooms are combined with the smoky aroma of bacon to create a wonderful umami.

Ning Xie had already wanted to change the taste, so the food was current.

He didn't care about being a little hot, he ate bowl after bowl, and even his tongue was about to eat it.

A few old and veteran ginseng diggers were sitting next to the fire with Ning Hu.

Eating delicious bacon and hazelnut mushroom soup, I unconsciously poured a lot of self-brewed soju.

Originally, during the release of the mountain, it was usually not allowed to drink, but today the harvest was huge, and Ning Hu also drank a lot, and everyone was a little drunk at the moment.

Ning Hu stood up suddenly, pulled his rough throat, and sang the old ballad of "Ginseng Head".

There are many sticks and mallets in the white old forest, and it is said in advance that the mountain is hunting for treasures;

gang up to play singular numbers, can you go and grab the head;

Prepare a light iron pot with a flower basket, a thin axe and a handsaw;

When entering the mountain, you must first worship the mountain god, pig's head, cattle and sheep;

The Emperor of Heaven crowned Sun Liangye, and only sat on the tree stump and did not serve the table;

The tiger walks the hill and the sheep go uphill, and there are many troubles when the rules are broken;

The mallet bird is called Suo Bao stick, and the antler bamboo stick pulls the soil;

Carry out the earth essence and cut the omen, and go down the mountain to eat white buns;

The sacred water of the sacred mountain comes out of the fairy grass, one or two gold and one or two goods;

It can eliminate all kinds of diseases and strengthen the body, and the crane has a youthful face for a hundred years......

The crowd sang along, and the song spread to every corner of the valley. In the meantime, he drank alcohol and ate meat, and he was not happy.
