Chapter Forty-Six: Encounter Mountain Ginseng Again

Ginseng can be said to be a treasure all over the body, not to mention the root, and its medicinal value is extremely high.

The leaves can be used to make tea, tobacco, and extract saponins, and ginseng flowers can also be used to make tea, medicine, and cosmetics.

Even when steaming ginseng, the remaining water in the pot can be boiled and concentrated to make ginseng paste.

This ginseng ointment is a good thing, if you have a sore or a boil, get some ginseng ointment and put it on in a few days.

In what year there is mumps, which is often referred to as mumps, you can also use ginseng ointment.

If you want to be a little more luxurious, you can also use ginseng paste mixed with hot water to soak your hands and feet, which can make your skin white and soft.

Therefore, every pot of steamed ginseng water will not be wasted, and it has been booked by everyone early and brought home to boil ginseng paste.

Autumn is the season of harvest, a season full of joy, and every busy person has a happy and satisfied smile on his face.

The busier they are, the happier they are, because that means they can have a good year this year.

This year, the Dongjiang Brigade began to make more than 500 zhang of goods, and those 40 people could get more than 200 zhang a day, so on the morning of the third day, the work was almost finished.

"Shixiang, we don't have much left in the afternoon, right?" At lunchtime, Yang Chunming asked Xu Shixiang.

"Well, there's only one string left, it's only about thirty feet, and it won't take much time in the afternoon to get up and go home."

Xu Shixiang nodded, he is familiar with how many ginseng places there are in the team, and he will definitely not be mistaken.

"Oh, then let's not start work too early in the afternoon, it's too early to go back, it's hard to remember."

Yang Chunming has a lot of eyes, so he can't remind Xu Shixiang a word.

A day and a half day are certainly different, but for the people they do, there is not much difference.

It's also been out for a day, and who doesn't want to earn a few more points?

Xu Shixiang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Okay, then the big guy will have a good rest at noon." It's tiring enough to get up and down for three days in a row. ”

Xu Shixiang is very lively, otherwise he would not have become a captain of the side hustle at a young age, in addition to being educated, he is also capable.

It's all the work of the team, and the work is given by the government, and it is not taken out of his Xu Shixiang's pocket, so why offend people?

Seeing that Xu Shixiang nodded happily, everyone was very happy.

So they hurriedly ate, some people ran to the house to lie down and rest, some set up a table outside to play chess, or else they drank tea and chatted.

"Third brother, take advantage of the noon break, let's go into the forest and pick up some mushrooms, or pick some mountain grapes, soft dates or something?

My little cub is hungry all day long, and he doesn't have anything to eat at home. Yang Chunming approached Xu Shiyan and asked in a low voice.

Yang Chunming got married early, married his daughter-in-law before he was twenty, and now his children are five years old.

When Xu Shiyan heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.

There are a lot of soft dates and mountain grapes in the forests around here, so it's good to pick some and go home and give Su Anying a snack.

Nowadays, there are not many fruits that can be eaten, unlike in the future, as long as you have money, you can buy anything.

Su Anying is pregnant, but there is really nothing for her at home.

A few days ago, there were still a few persimmons, and the persimmons have been eaten up in the past few days, and Su Anying can only gnaw on radish.

If you can pick some mountain grapes, soft dates or something, you can eat them for a few days when you go back, especially soft dates, which is the best vitamin supplement.

The two of them agreed, got up quietly, dragged a sack and walked out.

Zhao Jianjian, Wang Zhijun and a few others who got along well on weekdays saw it and came over.

As soon as they heard that they wanted to go to the forest to pick up mushrooms, these people also came out with their shoulder bags.

In autumn, the mountains are rich in color, with red maple leaves, yellow birches, poplars, and green pine trees.

There are many delicious things hidden in the mountain forest, there are pine towers, walnuts, pears, hazelnuts on the trees, vine plants such as mountain grapes, schisandra, soft dates, and hazel mushrooms on the ground, which can be said to be a huge treasure house.

These days, the people in the village are busy with the autumn harvest and ginseng, and they have not yet spared time to go into the mountains.

In addition, Maekawa is far away from the village, and the trees are high and dense, so most women dare not come.

So there is everything in the forest, and there are a lot of them, and you don't have to go far into the forest to see patches of mushrooms.

Xu Shiyan was not interested in mushrooms, everyone else squatted down to pick up mushrooms, and he continued to walk.

Finding a mountain grape vine with purple-red grape bunches hanging on it, Xu Shiyan reached out to pick two grains and put them in his mouth, frowning sourly.

This thing, it is estimated that his little daughter-in-law can love to eat it, the taste of pregnant women is different from ordinary people, the sour the better.

After picking a vine, I walked further and met a soft date.

Soft jujube is a local saying, and the scientific name should be soft jujube kiwifruit.

It belongs to the same category as kiwifruit, but the soft jujube kiwifruit in the Northeast is small and hairless, and the taste is sweeter and more fragrant.

If you are close to the village, the soft dates will be plucked by the children before they are fully ripe.

Pick the slightly raw soft dates home, put them in a wooden barrel, cover them with a handful of fragrant artemisia, and cover them for a while to become soft and ripe.

For children, it is also a pleasure and enjoyment to rummage through the barrel every day to find ripe soft dates.

The mountains are far away from the village, and no one comes to pick them, so the soft dates will always hang on the trees and slowly lose their moisture.

Especially after the frost, the soft dates are sweet and soft, and they are exceptionally delicious.

Xu Shiyan didn't care about those, grabbed a soft jujube tree, and was stunned, and there was no one left.

"Third brother, you're here to sweep, right? Look at the tree you plucked, I guess the black blind man will cry when he encounters it. ”

When the first few young men saw it, they couldn't help but ridicule Xu Shiyan.

"I picked it for your sister-in-law, she is now hurtful, and there is nothing to eat at home."

Xu Shiyan just smiled when he heard this, let go of the soft jujube tree in front of him, and continued to walk forward, looking for the next target.

Everyone picked wild fruits, mushrooms, and walnuts all the way, and gradually walked into the depths of the forest.

The more Xu Shiyan walked, the more familiar he felt, and after a closer look, he found that the place in front of him was the last time he brought Chen Deyong and others to put the mountain.

"Not far ahead, there is a tree stump, and it was there that Chen Deyong was bitten by a snake." Xu Shiyan pointed not far away and said to everyone.

When everyone heard this, they immediately came to their senses, and they had to let Xu Shiyan take them over to have a look.

In this way, while discussing the funny scene of Chen Deyong at that time, everyone walked towards the stump.

When they got closer, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw the environment around the stump.

"Chen Deyong is really dead, in such a place, he dares to pee on the stump?

There was obviously a hole under the stump, and there must be something living in it. ”

At that time, Chen Deyong was bitten by a snake, and Xu Shiyan shook his hand in anger and left, not paying attention to the stump. Now that I look closely, I always feel that something is not quite right.

A spiritual light flashed in his mind, and Xu Shiyan hurriedly raised his head.

"Mallet." Xu Shiyan shouted loudly.
