Chapter 102: Departure from Changbai Mountain
Lin Tian smiled, he knew that what this uncle said was simple, but to do it, it was even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
The road to ginseng mining is much more difficult than panning for gold, although it is not a life of nine deaths, but it is worth it for a person to find a decent ginseng in his life.
Just like the amount of ginseng that this uncle takes, it may be the accumulation of several lifetimes in their family.
"Then I have to go to the deep mountains and old forests to find it, right?" Lin Tian sighed and asked, "This, where are you going to find it?" I wonder if the uncle can give me some more advice? ”
Seeing this uncle, he smiled: "Our Kanto territory has had this rule since ancient times, that is, if anyone wants to find ginseng, he can hire a leader, and take the head to find it, and if you find something, take 30% of the head, and the owner will take 70%!" ”
Lin Tian nodded: "I understand this rule, I understand, I don't know where to find it now, take us to look for ginseng?" ”
The uncle smiled slightly, took out an old dry cigarette that had already been rolled up from his bag, put it in his mouth, and then took out a box of matches from his pocket, struck it, lit the cigarette, and took a deep breath.
The uncle held the dry tobacco between his fingers, and looked at Lin Tian while smoking, looking still so embarrassed.
Of course, Lin Tian understood what this uncle meant, and immediately bowed to this uncle and said, "Please ask the uncle for more advice, I can see that you must be a master!" ”
As soon as he heard Lin Tian say this, the uncle's face softened a little, and he coughed twice: "Haha, you young man is polite again, it's okay, my family's ancestral inheritance is this, that is, digging ginseng, don't worry, let's leave tomorrow, it's important to heal!" ”
The uncle's attitude changed so quickly, which also surprised Lin Tian, and he saw Lin Tian bow to him again: "Uncle, you are really a good person, don't worry, after the matter is completed, your benefits are indispensable!" ”
The uncle smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and squinted his eyes: "Well, it's not a problem, I just see that young people know a little bit about home remedies, and I'm not a simple person when I think about it, so I decided to help you!" ”
Lin Tian smiled, and then instructed the nanny to cook, looking at the appearance of this uncle, he should be a raunchy person, he has so many ginseng, he should not be a poor man!
"Come, uncle, you smoke my cigarette!" As he spoke, Lin Tian smiled and handed the "National Treasure" cigarette in his pocket to the uncle, this cigarette is the best cigarette in China, and the price of a box is six hundred and eight.
But the uncle was unmoved, and took out an old dry tobacco rolled in advance: "No, look at me, I am a serious Kanto tobacco, do you know, this is all grown by myself!" ”
Lin Tian smiled awkwardly, put his cigarette back in his pocket, and coughed slightly: "Haha, uncle, you're amazing, that, let's go eat first!" ”
Saying that, Lin Tian stretched out his hand and sat in a "please" posture, leading the uncle to the restaurant, where the meal was already prepared and waiting for them to eat.
The two of them sat down to eat, and after eating, Lin Tian went upstairs to find Xia Wei, because listening to this meaning, he had to go to Changbai Mountain outside the border in the past two days, so he had to discuss it with Xia Wei quickly, because after all, he was the owner.
At this time, Xia Wei had just gotten up, and was sitting on the bed smoking in a daze, Lin Tian didn't knock on the door, and directly pushed the door and entered Xia Wei's room.
"Second Young Master, now I have something to discuss with you!" Lin Tian sat on the edge of Xia Wei's bed and said to Xia Wei.
"Huh? Tell me something, what's wrong? Xia Wei raised his head and looked at Lin Tian and said, "Is Xiaoqing ....... her?" ”
"Oh, okay, Xiaoqing won't have an accident, but now we have to look for medicinal herbs, find a thousand-year-old ginseng that can be used, and now we have to go to Guanwai, you see......" Lin Tian said with a frown.
"What's the matter, go, go, it's okay, is it a financial problem?" Xia Wei raised his head and asked Lin Tian.
Lin Tian shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter what the funds are, it's just that there must be a lot of beasts in the deep mountains and old forests outside this pass, can you see if you can find us some equipment or something?" ”
Xia Wei nodded: "Okay, no problem, I'll give you a million, and then a knife or something, I'll find someone on the road to find it for you, you don't have to worry about it, I can do it, when are you going to leave?" ”
Lin Tian responded: "Tomorrow, now that this uncle is leading the way, I will call my brother later, and we can set off when he comes tomorrow!" ”
Xia Wei nodded: "Okay, you can do what you say, when the time comes, I will definitely not lose the brothers who went with you!" ”
Lin Tian nodded, turned around and went out to call Xu Liang, Xu Liang didn't have a job, and his source of livelihood basically depended on going out to run errands with Lin Tian to get paid or something.
This time, the Xia family didn't know how much richer it was than the Yun family, so Lin Tian took Xu Liang with him, so that Xu Liang could make some money, and on the other hand, because he had a familiar person by his side, he would be more handy.
In this way, Xu Liang came in the afternoon, and Xia Wei asked someone to clean up two rooms, leaving this uncle and Xu Liang to live in the Xia family's villa.
Early the next morning, Xia Wei's friends sent guns, ammunition and various knives for Lin Tian and them to use.
Lin Tian and his entourage got up and looked at it.
"We'll set off in the afternoon, and we'll come back when we find it, don't worry!" Lin Tian rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned and said, "Take care of Xiaoqing, I'll boil some medicine for her in a while!" ”
Xia Wei nodded: "Can I not take care of my sister?" It's time for you to go, it's okay! ”
At noon, Xia Wei deliberately set up a table of banquets, which can be regarded as practicing for them, but fortunately, this time it is not a foreign country, but a trip outside the customs, otherwise, it will take a lot of effort.
"Big brother, where are we going today?" Xu Liang looked at Lin Tian and asked with a puzzled face.
Lin Tian smiled, patted Xu Liang's shoulder, and said, "Not far, not far, much closer than Myanmar!" ”
Xu Liang's face changed instantly when he heard this, and he sighed and said: "Alas, look at you, you can't speak clearly, you see that I came in such a hurry, my sister is still at home, I forgot to leave money for her!" ”
Lin Tian looked at Xu Liang like this and patted him on the shoulder: "You don't have to worry about this, I'll call Xu You over later, don't worry, in Qingzhou City, our people can't be hungry!" ”
Xu Liang nodded: "Okay, okay, I know, then where are we going, you haven't told me clearly!" ”
"Why are you talking so much, you can just follow me wherever I go!" Lin Tian looked at Xu Liang and said impatiently: "This time, we are not far away, that is, to Changbai Mountain outside the Guanwai!" ”
"Chang ......" Xu Liang squinted his eyes and thought about it, "Changbai Mountain, are we going to travel?" ”
"Tourism? You have to go to the scenic area! The uncle with an accent outside the gate said again: "We will go here, it is the deep mountains and old forests, and we are going to the most primitive place!" ”
Xu Liang looked at this uncle, and when he heard his accent, he felt puzzled, and he didn't know what this uncle was doing.
In this way, a few people finished eating, chatted for a while, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the car to pick them up was ready, this time it was a large RV, it seems, this time in the deep mountains and old forests may have to live in this RV.
A few people packed up, got into the car, Xia Wei personally sent them out of the city, to say the distance from Qingzhou City to Changbai Mountain outside the Guanwai, if you drive, you have to drive about a day, more than a thousand kilometers of road.
Out of the city, the uncle actually started drinking, and while drinking, he also sang a small song outside the gate.
This made Lin Tian annoyed, but he invited him by himself, and he was embarrassed to say anything about others, so he had to endure it, after all, he had to wait for others to show him the way when he got to the mountain!
"Come on, young man, two mouthfuls!" The uncle handed the wine jug to Lin Tian's mouth and said hesitantly.
Lin Tian hurriedly waved his hand: "Thank you, no need, you can drink yours!" ”
"Is this guy coming?" The uncle handed the wine gourd to Xu Liang again, and Xu Liang also waved his hand and said thank you.
As soon as he drank, the uncle's words obviously increased, so he listened to him, his tongue became much shorter, and he began to tell Lin Tian and them stories.
"If you want to talk about this Changbai Mountain, then our family is an expert, where we say, we will know where it is!" The uncle patted his chest and said: "Our old Liu family has never said that it can't be done!" ”
The uncle told Lin Tian and them, saying that there were more than a dozen generations of their family, all of whom were looking for ginseng in Changbai Mountain.
At the beginning, Changbai Mountain was still a wild mountain, so the industry of digging ginseng was relatively common at that time, but now it has been developed into a scenic spot, and artificial ginseng has also begun to be mass-produced.
The uncle also said that most of the ginseng on the market is fake, and there are very few wild ones, and now if you want to find real wild ginseng, you must go to the deep mountains and old forests of Changbai Mountain, which is definitely not something that can be found near tourist attractions.
Lin Tian listened and nodded, indeed, all these things have their own doorways, and these doorways are not simple.
This uncle, the more he drank, the more energetic he became, and as soon as he was energetic, he talked a lot, and he kept talking for more than two hours, as if telling stories was his appetizer! The story was almost over, the wine was finished, and the uncle fell asleep on the back of the chair.
Xu Liang looked at the sleeping appearance of the uncle, pointed at him, and asked Lin Tian: "I said big brother, is he reliable?" Will it work? ”
Lin Tian smiled slightly: "Who knows?" It's the mule that the horse pulls out to slip around, and now it's half gone, and it's too late to regret it! ”
Xu Liang looked at the uncle, pouted worriedly, and then leaned back on the back of the seat and slowly squinted his eyes.
