Chapter Seventy-Three: Into the Mountains Again.
Early in the morning, Chengxin was woken up by his own alarm clock, got up to wash, and put on the training clothes and jungle boots that had been put on yesterday.
Four packets of high-calorie beef jerky, plus a packet of compressed biscuits in your pocket.
The kettle hangs from the belt, the telescope hangs around the neck, the multi-purpose dagger is pinned to the calf, and the compass watch is on the wrist.
Finally, I put my hat on my head, looked in the mirror, hehe, I was coming to put a rifle, I was painting some camouflage on my face, and finally I was even more handsome with two grenades on my body.
Do you want to add two bazookas to your back?
Fortunately, Chengxin hasn't bought a satellite phone yet!!
After being self-absorbed for a while, Chengxin went out and walked towards the old house.
"Coming? You're the same as a soldier, but it looks pretty good, what about your rations? Didn't you say bring it yourself? How is it not prepared?
As soon as Chengxin arrived at the old house, the old man first praised him, and then a series of inquiries.
"Take the master, look, that's it, Chengxin took out the beef jerky and compressed biscuits in the bag and showed them to the old man.
"That's it? Boy, do you bring some snacks in the mountains?
The old man looked at the things in Chengxin's hand and said angrily.
"Hehe, master, these are enough, these pieces of beef jerky are different from ordinary beef jerky, and the calorific value is very high.
"And this bag of biscuits, old man, don't look at him only so little, just eat it with water, he can become the size of two steamed buns.
"This beef jerky and biscuits, after eating them together, they are full and energetic, so don't underestimate these.
"I want to prepare some compressed biscuits for you, why don't you try it, and I'll go back and get you a pack?" Chengxin asked.
"Forget it, I'd better eat my buns, you can eat these things yourself.
The old man, a rural person, doesn't believe in these things, but still thinks that big meat buns are more filling.
Chengxin knew that this was the result, so he didn't prepare it for the old man before he came.
After having breakfast at the old house, the grandfather and grandson went to the village with a small backpack on their backs.
Basically the same as before, the others were almost over, and then everyone got into the ox cart and headed towards the old forest to the east.
But this time it's farther than the previous times, there's no way, this little place outside has been looked for by everyone several times.
Basically, the better medicinal herbs and mountain goods have been almost found, so this last time we have to go deeper.
When they arrived at the place where Chengxin entered the mountain for the first time, everyone did not stop, and walked inside for more than an hour, and then everyone separated, and began to look for it in groups of two.
There are no hills here, woodland is everywhere, and there are weeds and shrubs.
There are slopes and ravines, and some slopes are full of shrubs, and there are no tall trees.
Some of the slopes or flats are covered with tall trees, and there are various weeds and vines underneath the trees.
The bushes Chengxin and the old man didn't go, the old man was old, and it was too difficult to walk in the bushes.
So the grandfather and grandson chose the forest, although there are vines, but they can also go around, or use a firewood knife to open the way.
This comes out to find mountain goods, not to see edible fungi or medicinal herbs and start picking, but to see the value.
If you pick something a little more useful, it won't take you two hours and your back will be full, and it's not too valuable.
So, you'll have to find some treasures, and only when the time is almost up, and your backpack isn't full, will you see what to pick.
After searching for more than an hour, neither grandnor grandson found anything of value.
This is normal, after all, if you can easily find a few hundred yuan of mountain medicinal materials, then don't you come every day? Moreover, these advances have been searched several times.
"Chengxin, come here, I found a good thing, on a steep slope, the old man spoke.
Chengxin immediately walked over from the side, and took a closer look, yo old man, Huang Jing, look at this branch is quite big, at least more than ten years, right? Chengxin asked.
Hehe, almost, dig and see, after speaking, the old man used the small hoe in his hand to dig up the periphery, and Chengxin was also helping on the side.
After a while, a dense plate of yellow essence appeared in front of him on the ground.
Why a plate? This yellow essence looks the same as the old ginger who usually cooks soup at home, but the older the year, the more he grows.
For example, this plate of yellow essence now, counting more than 20 pimples of all sizes, it means that it has been more than 20 years, and the quality looks good.
"Hehe, old man, is this one seven or eight pounds? Chengxin asked.
Holding the yellow essence on the ground, the old man weighed it.
"Almost, it's more than twenty years old, and you can determine the number of scars and pimples on it by looking at it.
"Hahaha, master, this is more than a thousand, right? I used my mobile phone to take a look, and now the pure wild yellow essence is now almost more than 100 yuan a catty, right? Today is a worthwhile trip.
"Well, the first few times I dug in the village for about ten years are 100 yuan a catty, our plate looks good in quality, it should be more expensive, the old man also said happily.
Some students want to say, isn't Huang Jing twenty or thirty-one pounds? The wild ones are only seventy or eighty.
Hehe, have you ever heard of forest ginseng? That thing was sprinkled in the seed-like woodland and let him grow naturally.
Those so-called many wild yellow essences also came out in this way.
However, the effect will be improved, after all, they are all naturally grown, stronger than artificial planting, fertilization and pesticides.
The old man took off his back, spread some weeds on the ground, then put a plate of yellow essence in it, then spread some weeds, and then continued to look for it.
Near noon, Chengxin found a nest of good things in a place that was not blocked by the sun, matsutake mushrooms.
This thing is quite expensive, hundreds to thousands, looking at the quantity of a piece, one or two catties should be there, and the quality is much more than that of chicken fir scales.
Fresh matsutake mushrooms are umbrella-shaped, but they don't have a large umbrella like chicken fir mushrooms.
The cap is brown, the stem is white, there are fibrous hairy cuticles, the flesh is white and tender, the texture is fine, and there is a strong special aroma.
Carefully, all the matsutake mushrooms have been dug up, hehe, I can be regarded as finding a little valuable goods, isn't it?
However, it would be nice to find the kind of old Ganoderma lucidum that is thousands of dollars a catty, but that thing is also difficult to find.
At noon, the two grandchildren found an open place to have lunch, Chengxin chewed his beef jerky, and then ate a little compressed biscuits, drank water, and after a while, he felt that his stomach was swollen, and Chengxin was not eating.
The rest of the compressed biscuits were put in the pocket again, and I didn't think about throwing them around, mainly because the biscuits were thrown on the ground, and some animals ate some of these things, and then went to drink water, maybe they would die.
Just after eating, he was about to rest for a while, when Chengxin heard the chirping of some birds, and felt very painful.
"Old man, what is this sound?
"I really don't know, go over and take a look?
Hearing what the old man said, Chengxin immediately got up and walked in the direction of the sound, and after a while, Chengxin and they came to the vicinity of the sound.
After looking around, I found that it was coming from a pile of grass, a little distance away, and I haven't seen anything yet.
But when the grandfather and grandson walked in, they saw the chicks in the grass, which had always been a little big, lying on their stomachs in the grass and chirping, apparently injured, and then trapped in the grass.
"Master, what kind of bird is this? It's so big, it looks like it's still a young bird, and the fluff hasn't been finished.
