Chapter 5 Digging Ginseng

When Shen Chi was at a loss for knowledge, it happened to be a Thursday and he was closed in the afternoon.

At this time, Saturdays and Sundays have not yet begun, and the school holidays are half a day on Thursday afternoon and one day on Sunday.

When I came home from school, my grandmother had already cooked the meal and was waiting for my sister and brother.

Seeing that his father and mother didn't come back during the meal, Shen Chi couldn't help but ask his grandmother curiously, "Grandma, aren't they coming back for dinner?" ”

"Your father and your mother went into the mountains to collect salvia, and they won't come back to eat at noon."

Shen Chi heard that his heart moved, Lishan Village is surrounded by mountains, the mountains are rich in all kinds of medicinal materials, among which salvia is the most, there are always many medicine dealers in the spring and autumn of each year to come to the village to collect ginseng, and at this time the people in the village will collectively go into the mountains to dig ginseng for money to supplement the family.

Shen Chi was worried that he had no money to buy books, and thought to himself, isn't this just an opportunity? Immediately finished eating quietly, put down the dishes and chopsticks and told grandma to find black eggs and they ran out.

Secretly went to the back of the door and took a small hoe Shen Chi also quietly entered the mountain, Lishan Village is surrounded by mountains, the mountains are beautiful, there is a majesty, stretching for nearly 100 miles, it is very dangerous, so Shen Chi did not dare to go too far, only dared to find salvia nearby.

But the nearby ginseng had already been dug up, Shen Chi only found a few small ginseng seedlings after looking for a long time, thinking that he had planting skills, he dug a few slightly larger ones and cut the thatch and tied them around his waist, and after a while, Shen Chi's waist was full of ginseng seedlings.

Although he dug a lot, there was no one that could really be sold for money, and he was busy and didn't know the time, and he didn't know how long it was, Shen Chi suddenly heard the voice of people on the mountain path, but after a while, he saw four figures with backpacks on their backs appear at the end of the mountain path.

Shen Chi took a look and recognized it as the black egg in the same village, Aunt Zhao, Aunt Li, Wangzi and Aunt Wang, the last person was the oldest, looking about seventy years old, it was Grandma Yuan San. Although she is old, her body is strong, and she even followed these young daughters-in-law into the mountains to dig ginseng.

When Grandma Yuan San saw Shen Chi, she immediately exclaimed, "Ouch, isn't this Changlin's boy?" You came here alone? ”

Shen Chi hurriedly stepped forward to call someone to say hello, and when he saw that he was alone, he dared to run into the mountains, and Grandma Yuan San reprimanded: "Don't go back with grandma quickly, you are too bold, you dare to run to the mountains alone, and you are not afraid of tigers in the mountains." ”

The inner core of an adult in his thirties, but he was still scared by a tiger, Shen Chi was also speechless for a while, knowing that Grandma Yuan San was also out of kindness, Shen Chi just smiled innocently.

Seeing that their baskets were full of salvia, Shen Chi asked with a smile, "Third grandmother, have you dug up a lot of salvia?" ”

"Today, I was lucky enough to find a hill where a wild ginseng garden grew." Grandma Yuan San replied with a smile.

"Xiao Chi, do you also go up to the mountains to dig ginseng?" Aunt Li asked Shen Chi with a smile.

"Yes, I also have to dig ginseng and sell it to save money for tuition." Shen Chi replied with a smile.

"You're a kid from a family, you don't study well, is this what you should worry about?" Zhao Boniang criticized.

"This kid is really good, he knows how to share the worries of adults at a young age, and he is much better than the bastard boy in my family." Aunt Wang boasted.

Shen Chi followed Grandma Yuan San and them like this, and walked towards the village with a smile and a smile when he heard them talking.

When I arrived at the head of the village, I heard my grandmother standing at the entrance of the village and calling Shen Chi's name at the top of her voice. It turned out that the black egg went down to the river to touch the shrimp and passed by the door of Shen Chi's house, Hu Shi saw that Shen Chi was not with him, and after asking, he knew that Shen Chi did not go to play with the black egg.

This is terrible, the Hu family was so anxious that the village was looking for Shen Chi, and Grandma Yuan San heard the cry and responded from afar: "Don't scream, old sister, your family has entered the mountain, and we brought it back for you." ”

When they got closer, Hu reprimanded Shen Chi fiercely, and thanked Yuan San's grandmother again and again.

When he got home, he closed the door and reprimanded Shen Chi again: "What do you say you are doing running into the mountains alone?" If something happens, how can I explain it to your parents? ”

Shen Chi hurriedly admitted his mistake and said: "Grandma, I know it's wrong, I also want to go into the mountains to dig up some salvia for tuition." ”

"Grandma is here for tuition, you don't have to worry about it, next time you dare to run around and ask your dad to break your legs." Hu reprimanded, and saw the small ginseng Miao hanging on Shen Chi's waist that was not as thick as chopsticks, and said: "Look at the ones you dug up, they are not as thick as chopsticks, which one will want it, it's really a waste." ”

Shen Chi replied with a smile: "I will plant these ginseng seedlings, and I can sell them when I grow up." ”

Thinking of the environment in which salvia grows, Shen Chi opened seven or eight square wasteland in the grove behind the house, planted salvia, watered it, and performed a planting technique again, and the salvia was originally ten centimeters high.

At this time, Shen Chi's energy had reached 42 points, and he could support several round-trips, until there was a feeling of dizziness in his body, and he knew that his energy was about to run out, so he quickly stopped.

Looking at a bunch of salvia, Shen Chi was afraid that someone else would pick it, so he cut a lot of bamboo and split it into strips to make a simple bamboo fence around the ginseng seedlings, and nailed a wooden sign to show that there was a master.

As soon as I finished all this, the system immediately prompted: Planting salvia will get 1,000 knowledge points, and the proficiency of planting will be increased by 50.

This prompt made Shen Chi stunned for a moment, and then realized that in addition to reading books, farming can also get knowledge points, and the larger the planting area, the more knowledge points will be obtained.

This seems to be the only way to gain a large number of knowledge points at present. Shen Chi thought to himself in his heart.

Seeing that his grandson was busy in the grove for nearly two hours, and even his son and daughter-in-law came back from digging ginseng in the mountains, he found the forest and saw Shen Chi watering the salvia, and said while helping: "What are you tossing around?" Your dad and they're all back. ”

Pouring the last bucket of water into the ground, Shen Chi said, "I have already planted it." ”

Walking back with my grandmother, Hu picked vegetables to make dinner while passing by the vegetable patch in the backyard.

Shen Chi also followed to help, and when he saw that the tomatoes were already red, he hurriedly picked them with the basket, and he picked more than a dozen catties of tomatoes in a small piece of land.

Looking at the basket full of tomatoes, Grandma Hu Shi said with a puzzled expression: "Strange, the tomatoes of other people in the village have just bloomed, why do our families grow so fast?" ”

Shen Chi was secretly amused in his heart, could he be unhappy to quietly use implantation to give birth every day when he came back from school? Using the implant technique to exhaust the energy can get knowledge points similar to the energy consumed, and the energy can be recovered after sleeping for one night, Shen Chi can't waste this opportunity to get knowledge points in vain.

When he came to the hall and saw that his parents were sorting out the salvia that he had dug up, Shen Chi said, "Dad, Mom, you have dug up so many ginseng." ”

"Well, when the ginseng collector comes, you can sell it to Xiao Chi and buy toys, okay?" Shen Changlin said with a smile.
