Chapter 59: Growing Turmeric?
"Lingbao, get up, we're going into the mountain."
In the early morning, Lingbao, who was asleep, was gently shouted by Cheng Yun.
As the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the water to eat the water.
Now that the family has a lot of expenses, Cheng Yun wanted to see if he could dig up some turmeric.
Lingbao is very good, every time he wakes up, pouts his ass and sits up from the bed, his confused little eyes are particularly obedient, rubbing his eyes, and he sits up and puts on his clothes and shoes.
After dressing, the person also woke up, buried his face in the king's body and rubbed it.
"Big brother, I'm alright, let's go!"
Lingbao carried a small back basket and was full of energy, which was in stark contrast to Cheng Yi who was yawning next to him.
After entering the mountain, they first went to the place where they had dug turmeric last time to see if there was anything missing.
Yes, there are, but not many.
Suddenly, a smell that is difficult to describe in words wafted in.
"Hey, what's that smell? It smells bad! Cheng Yi pinched his nose and was disgusted.
Cheng Yun also covered his mouth and nose, and the king with a developed sense of smell buried his head in his body even more exaggeratedly.
It hates the smell of meow!
It smells very strange, and it doesn't smell bad, but it just doesn't smell good, and it has a strong sense of presence.
If you had to describe it, it would probably be a combination of garlic and onion, but at the same time there is a hint of grass and leaves.
Only Lingbao didn't feel unpleasant, she shrugged her small round nose, and said happily: "It's a toon!" ”
"What's a toon?" Cheng Yun asked.
Ling Bao thought for a moment and replied, "It's food!" ”
That's right, it's indeed food.
But Cheng Yi didn't believe it, he asked suspiciously, "Are you sure this can be eaten?" It smells so bad and it tastes bad, too! ”
It's closer, and the smell is even more domineering, Cheng Yi can't stand the smell, and has been fanning the wind with his hand.
"It's really edible!" Lingbao pouted unhappily, why didn't she believe her, but many people in the village didn't like it, saying that it was unpalatable, "It's delicious when I eat it." ”
Cheng Yi complained: "Do you eat anything that is not delicious?" ”
Lingbao thought about it for a while, and smiled: "No, I like it all, hehe." ”
Cheng Yun rubbed her head, so she was really easy to raise.
Although they can't stand the taste, since the younger sister wants to eat it, the elder brother has to climb a tree to pick it!
The first to bear the brunt is, of course, Cheng Yi, who made him usually jump up and down, and he couldn't be idle.
After picking two large bunches, Cheng Yi couldn't wait to jump down and pinch his nose: "Oops, this smell is too rushing." ”
Ling Bao leaned into the small back basket and took a deep breath, and said wonderingly, "It smells good." "I don't like it.
"If you like it, you'll give it all!" Cheng Yi didn't want to eat a bite.
Lingbao snorted, eat it yourself, she may eat it!
Suddenly the king meowed.
"Lingbao come on, I've found something good!"
Lingbao's eyes lit up, and he dragged the basket with all his might, and ran in the direction where the king was.
Peeling off the grass, the king was about to come looking for them, when he saw them coming, he turned around and went back to what he found, and wagged his tail merrily: "Look! ”
"Ah, it's spring bamboo shoots!" Lingbao didn't care about the basket, he
Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi followed, took out a shovel, shoveled out a gap from the root, and then held down the bamboo shoot, shaking it back and forth, left and right.
"Let's go!"
At the moment when the spring bamboo shoots broke, Ling Bao also sat on the ground, and the little girl held the spring bamboo shoots, smiling so much that she couldn't see her teeth.
"Spring bamboo shoots are delicious, stuffy eating, boiled eating, stewed eating......" Ling Bao snorted his saliva that was about to come out.
Cheng Yun was also greedy by what she said, she used to be able to eat fresh and tender spring bamboo shoots on the dinner table, but now I haven't eaten them for a long time.
It just so happens that there are a lot of small pieces, so I just dug a few more.
The spring bamboo shoots are big, and the three ones fill the back basket, Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi carry two big ones on their backs, and the small one Lingbao is on their backs.
Cheng Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the morning passed, and the shadow of turmeric was not seen.
"King, can you smell turmeric anywhere?"
Lingbao: "King, can you smell it?" ”
The king shook his head: "The smell in the mountains is too mixed. It raised its paw and pointed ahead, "There should be one here, but I can't smell the meow." ”
Cheng Yun glanced at it, which happened to be in the same direction as they were going, and continued to move forward.
After walking for more than half an hour, he still didn't see turmeric, Cheng Yun looked at the sky and said, "Let's go home first, and come back in the afternoon." I can't find it, so I can only forget it. ”
Lingbao is still picking grass, look here, look there.
Turmeric, please come out quickly.
Seeing that the eldest brother wanted turmeric very much, Lingbao refused to give up, I don't know if it was an illusion, she felt that she smelled a faint fragrance of herbs and trees.
"Here it is! Big brother, I've found turmeric! Ling Bao shouted happily.
Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi, who heard the voice, hurriedly ran over and saw a large piece of turmeric, and couldn't help but smile happily.
"Great, if this is all dug up, it will definitely be able to sell for a lot of money!" Cheng Yi laughed, "It's done!" ”
He hugged the hero suddenly: "Lingbao, we're going to get rich!" ”
"Really? Will we get rich? Ling Bao rubbed his little hands and asked expectantly, "Will there be a lot of copper coins?" ”
Cheng Yun said: "At least a few hundred texts are available. ”
"Wow!" The little girl was very enthusiastic.
When you dig up the soil with a shovel, you can see a long tuber-like object that is yellowish in color, but it is not the same as ginger.
Sure enough, it's turmeric!
For a while, the three brothers and sisters buried their heads in digging wildly, and even the king used his hind paws to dig the ground frantically, and after a while, there was a "turmeric hill" piled up next to it, and the smell of toon in the back basket was covered with a strong smell.
"Oops, it's finally done." Lingbao's face has become a little cat.
She asked Cheng Yun: "Big brother, are these enough?" Not enough for us to look for it again! ”
Cheng Yun sat on the ground without any image, he was really tired, he said: "Of course, the more the better, the more, the more we can sell." It's a pity that this thing can't be found just by looking for it. ”
Lingbao blinked, and suddenly said, "Then we can grow it ourselves." Just like wheat and turnips. ”
She thought very simply, wheat and radish can be planted, and turmeric can also be planted, and they all grow in the ground.
Cheng Yun smiled: "How can planting crops and planting medicinal herbs be the same?" ”
Lingbao asked suspiciously, "What's the difference?" ”
Cheng Yun choked for a moment, how did he know what was different.
...... yes, what's the difference?
Cheng Yun had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he had the urge to try.
"King, do you think we can give it a try?"
The king looked up in confusion: "Meow? ”
What?
Why do you ask me, I haven't planted it either!
