Chapter 16: Go up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs

On the path on the mountain, there are many weeds, and Kang Qiyuan walks in front, and there is the sound of crutches falling to the ground, and he can also beat small animals such as snakes in the grass.

After entering the mountains, I collected almost all the herbs that Aunt Wei needed along the way. It's just that these herbs are very common and not very valuable......

The three of them changed the road they didn't often take, and after walking for a while, Min Moyao found more than a dozen valuable herbs on the side of a big rock.

Kang Qijun walked last, and when he saw her stop, he asked, "Hey, you found it?"

Min Moyao hummed excitedly, then raised her hand and pointed to the herb and explained, "This is Huangjing, which is a good tonic." It has good effects on spleen and stomach qi deficiency, fatigue, stomach yin deficiency, dry mouth and less food......"

"There is also the one with small purple flowers, which is sand cucumber, which has a good effect on long-term cough and the like."

Min Moyao knows that there are a lot of good things in the mountains, after all, people in this era do not pick excessively, and good medicinal materials need people who understand medicine to identify. This also allows the herbs to grow in the mountains for many years.

She originally thought that she would go up the mountain to try her luck. But I didn't expect to find yellow essence and sand cucumber.

Tut...... Heaven has been kind to me!

Kang Qiyuan turned his head and saw that his wife was talking about the head of medicinal materials, which was dazzling and dazzling, especially in her eyes, with a different look......

After two months of getting along, Kang Qiyuan felt that he had never known Min Moyao, and she was strange and attractive at the moment!

Min Moyao saw that neither of them spoke, "That...... Am I talking too much? ”

Kang Qijun glanced at his eldest brother. I saw Kang Qiyuan shake his head, "No." ”

Min Moyao nodded and said, "That's good." The main thing is to get used to it, when I used to teach, I held the herbs, and the first thing that came to mind was the habits and effects of the herbs, all of which formed a conditioned reflex! In one is exciting.

She put down the basket and took the small hoe and the small nail rake from Kang Qijun's hand, "Brother Yuan, Ajun, you can rest here for a while, and I'll dig it myself!" ”

As he spoke, he walked over, cleaned up the surrounding weeds first, and then dug along the rhizomes, the quality of the sand cucumber is a little poor, and this season is not the best picking season. It can only be said that it is barely used.

The yellow essence is different, the medicinal value of the yellow essence is high, and the spring and autumn of each year is the picking season. In the past, most of the products sold in the hospital were artificially grown, and wild ones could only be bought in the mountains.

Polygonatum polygonatum is a perennial plant, the longer the year, the more rhizome nodes there are, and a good quality polygonatum can even grow more than a dozen nodes! And this kind of thing is also the most valuable.

After digging up the calf-deep soil, Min Moyao carefully dug away the surrounding mud and sand with a small hoe, and saw a large piece of ginger-shaped yellow essence buried in the mud pit, and a smile appeared on her face.

The child was the first to sit still, and came over and looked curiously.

Kang Qiyuan also followed. There are two tools in total, one is a hoe and the other is a small nail rake. Kang Qiyuan took the idle nail rake and dug it up following Min Moyao's movements just now.

"You ......" Min Moyao originally wanted to persuade him to sit for a while, but seeing that he was very careful and quickly mastered the essence of picking, he also sincerely praised Kang Qiyuan, "Brother Yuan, you are so amazing!" ”

Kang Qiyuan felt her good mood and asked, "This thing is very valuable?"

"Hmm~ The price should be good."

As soon as Kang Qijun heard that this thing was valuable, he also took the initiative to join the excavation work.

"You guys be careful not to dig it up, or you'll damage the price." Good things, such as ginseng, are only valuable if they are all bearded and tailed. If the roots are uneven, the price will be several percent less.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Qijun looked at the broken yellow essence in his hand, and for a moment he only felt like a hole in his heart......

Kang Qijun finished swallowing his saliva and said carefully, "That, sister-in-law...... I think I'm doing something wrong......"

As soon as Min Moyao turned around, she saw Kang Qijun holding half a piece of yellow essence in his dirty hand, and half of it was buried in the soil. This is obviously too anxious to break it.

Min Moyao looked at that piece, and a trace of regret flashed in her eyes, but she didn't scold Kang Qijun, and comforted her gently: "It's okay, forget it if it's broken, just be careful next time." It's brittle, it's the first time you've done it. ”

Kang Qijun glanced at his eldest brother and saw that Kang Qiyuan had already placed two pieces of yellow essence in complete condition, and he was a little annoyed for a while!

Kang Qiyuan probably guessed what his brother was thinking, and quietly grasped the nail rake and changed his hand, meaning that he had tools...... This can be regarded as silent comfort.

Of course, Kang Qiyuan's most surprised thing was Min Moyao's attitude, she was really different from the Kang family!

The rhizome of sand cucumber is small, and only a small bundle can be dug up. And Huangjing is different.

These dozen or so yellow essence plants should be a few years old, and each plant has seven or eight knots dug up, and the big ones even have more than a dozen knots, and a lump is four or five catties.

Wait until they are all dug up and piled up together, like a small hill.

Min Moyao looked at it so much, her mouth was about to reach the root of her ears.

"So happy?" Kang Qiyuan is also in a good mood.

Min Moyao nodded very straightforwardly: "Hmm! It's all money! "When it is sold, it should also be able to improve the life of the Kang family.

The three of them put all the yellow essence into the back basket, and they couldn't fit some of them. Min Moyao found a large leaf around the area, rolled it into a funnel and packed the rest of the yellow essence into it.

"Ah Jun, you hold this, Brother Yuan will help lift the sand cucumber. Let's go back! As she spoke, she prepared to carry the basket.

Kang Qiyuan frowned, "No." You come to Tisha Shen. Carry the basket on my back! There was no denial in his tone.

"I'll come. You have bad legs and feet, you would have hurt your knee joints when you climbed the mountain, don't fight with me, I can still afford this weight......"

It's strange, I'm afraid this back basket is more than forty pounds.

Kang Qijun disagreed, "Sister-in-law, let's do it with me." You are a woman, my eldest brother and I are here, where is the reason for you to do heavy work! ”

Min Moyao thought: This Kang family man still takes care of the women in the family.

All three of them refused to let each other go and understood each other. Such a stalemate has not led to fruition.

Min Moyao said again: "Okay, this way, I'll go and decorate it with leaves, and the three of us will take turns carrying this basket." So that no one gets tired, okay? ”

This time, the two brothers of the Kang family thought about it for a while and put forward the request that they should memorize first. Min Moyao agreed!

The three of them were full of harvest and were about to go down the mountain, but they suddenly heard a cry for help from the mountain.

This voice is still a little familiar......
