Li Shulan wielded a sickle and quickly made rattan sticks of different sizes.

The ordinary rattan shuttles between her fingers, and the movements are even more fluid, extremely neat.

After a while.

A basket the size of a small washbasin was woven out, and it looked rough and rudimentary.

"So-so."

Li Shulan glanced at it twice, and was not satisfied, "Count, now it's about practicality, not making art." ”

There is still a lot of rattan left.

Li Shulan thought for a moment and began to weave the basket again.

There is nothing at home, and a few more small baskets for things would be nice.

Then.

Not far away, the second child shouted, "There is another chicken coop, big brother, Rong'er, look ......"

"Wow, a dozen more eggs, that's great."

Su Qiaorong cheered in surprise again.

Then Su Wenxi surprised and returned the joyful voice, "I didn't think about it, I really found it." ”

"It's strange, why didn't we find wild eggs in the grass when we came here before?"

"I guess a flock of pheasants came here recently to build a nest, and the villagers don't know about it yet."

"Big brother, second brother, Rong'er heard that Cuicui's brother found a dozen wild eggs in the grass on the mountain."

"Many people have found wild eggs in the mountains."

"Haha, the fine dog wanted to eat the eggs he picked up, but he didn't expect to be sold by his mother early, he cried for a long time, so everyone knew."

"Rong'er also laughs at the thin dog crying nose!"

……

Hearing the conversation between their brother and sister, the corners of Li Shulan's mouth were slightly hooked.

Just about to turn around......

She froze, her eyes fixed on a green plant.

"Ginseng?"

Li Shulan couldn't help but doubt, bent down and used a sickle to split the surrounding vines, "How can ginseng appear here, this place is not good, there have been many villagers here before, how did this ginseng survive until now?" ”

"Mother~"

"Mother, where are you!"

"Mother, are you in there?"

There was a cry of children, Li Shulan quickly stood up, "Here, I'm here!" ”

Seeing their mother waving, the siblings immediately ran over.

"Mother, what were you doing just now?"

The second child was the first to rush over and found his mother squatting on the ground, as if looking at the plants in front of her, "Mother, look at this thing?" ”

"It's good stuff."

Li Shulan smiled slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a ginseng." ”

"Ginseng?"

"Mother, where is the ginseng?"

Both brothers let out surprised voices at the same time.

They have never seen real ginseng, but they also know that ginseng is a medicinal treasure that can cure diseases and save people.

"Mother, isn't it the baby everyone said?"

Su Qiaorong blinked her eyes wide, looking at something like a wild vegetable curiously, "I heard grandma say that only rich people can eat ginseng." ”

"Ginseng is a precious medicinal herb."

Li Shulan touched the top of her head and said with a smile: "It is indeed something that only rich people can afford." ”

"Mother, this ...... Is it really ginseng? ”

Su Wenxi looked at the ordinary-looking plant with a suspicious expression, which seemed to him to be no different from ordinary weeds.

I saw my mother looking at me......

smiled embarrassedly, "Mother, the child doesn't mean to question it, but I just think that if there was ginseng in this place, it should have been discovered a long time ago." ”

"I'm not sure either!"

Li Shulan frowned slightly, "But it's the same as the ginseng described in the book, can you really dig it out and take a look, it's just ......"

"Mother, just what?"

"I'm not a herb picker, so I don't know much about ginseng, so I can't tell how many years it has."

Looking at the vibrant ginseng, Li Shulan couldn't help but hesitate: "If the year is still small, I'm afraid it's not worth much, and it will be wasted if you dig it out." ”

"Why don't we dig up the ginseng we found?"

Su Wenxuan muttered, "What if we don't dig and are dug up by others?" ”

"This ...... It's possible. ”

Li Shulan asked the person next to her, "Boss, what do you think?" ”

"Mother, what the second brother said is right."

Su Wenxi pointed to the severed vines around him, "If someone comes to this place, they will definitely come over to take a look, and if someone also recognizes that this is ginseng, they will definitely dig it up." ”

"Okay, let's dig it up."

Li Shulan didn't hesitate anymore, and directly used the sickle as a hoe, "If there is ginseng for more than five years, we will make money." ”

The second child is eager to try: "Mother, I'll dig ......"

"Nope."

Li Shulan didn't think about it, and directly refused, "Ginseng must be kept intact to be valuable, and if it is broken, it will be wasted." ”

"Don't mess around."

Su Wenxi glanced at him lightly, "Not everything can be played with for you." ”

"Hehe, then I'll go ahead and look for the eggs."

"Dick, wait a minute!"

Li Shulan shouted to the people who were going to run out, and pointed to the rattan basket next to him, "I've made up the basket, find some pine leaves to spread under the basket and then fill the eggs." ”

"What a beautiful basket, mother, you are so amazing!"

Su Qiaorong had already picked up the basket and asked with joy on her face, "Mother, can I take a basket to hold the twists?" ”

"You can pretend to be whatever you want."

Li Shulan responded, "But if you pretend to be a mountain twist, you have to pick some big tree leaves and spread them underneath, so as not to miss them." ”

"Big brother, can you help me pick big leaves?"

"Rong'er, I'm not free right now."

Su Wenxi didn't agree, and instructed the people next to him, "Second brother help Rong'er pick leaves and lay them." ”

"Got it, Rong'er, let's go, I'll help you pick the leaves."

"Alright then!"

One of them left with a basket in their arms.

Li Shulan shouted at the backs of the two little ones, "Second child, Rong'er, don't run away, pay attention to safety." ”

"Got it, mother!"

"I will!"

The brother and sister responded loudly to her.

"Mother, I will continue to mow the thatch, remember to call the child if there is anything."

didn't forget why he went up the mountain, Su Wenxi was ready to continue working.

"Wait a minute, boss, come and dig ginseng!"

Li Shulan thought that the thatch was still a lot worse, so she decided to exchange the work at hand, "See, start digging down here, slowly approach the ginseng, and it is best to dig the soil slowly with your hands, so as not to damage the ginseng." ”

"Mother, I'll mow the grass!"

Su Wenxi was afraid that he would accidentally break the ginseng beard, so he didn't dare to take the job.

"You are careful in your work, and you believe that you can do it well."

Li Shulan didn't give him a chance to refuse, "I'll mow the grass faster, let's go back early." ”

Su Wenxi had no choice but to nod.

……

An hour later.

Li Shulan and her two sons each carried heavy thatch down the mountain.

Su Qiaorong followed behind them with a small basket full of things.

The mother and son returned with a full load.

Back home.

The three brothers and sisters were exhausted.

Li Shulan also felt tired, but she didn't rest.

The thatch is not ready to be cut, and needs to be spread out to dry.

It's much easier than cutting and drying the grass.

The contents of the small back basket have been taken out.

"Mother, look ......"

Su Wenxi asked softly, "Are the eggs being sold, or are they ......?"

There was a hint of longing in the eyes of the two little eyes next to him.

Since their father's death, their siblings have not touched any meat.

"Not for sale."

Li Shulan's gaze swept over their faces, and she continued quietly: "Eggs will be left at home, and in the future, the three of you, or the four of us, will eat one a day to supplement nutrition." ”
