Taoshan, an ancient mountain range, is continuous, like a hundred thousand mountains. The other mountains are towering and difficult to climb, but here it is barely possible.
After years of walking, as people walk more, a road is formed.
The three of them followed a trail into the mountain. There were ancient trees, and a lot of leaves fell on the ground. They were very soft when they stepped on them, but people who entered the mountain would never dare to walk on them casually. Otherwise, it is easy to fall into the pothole.
Grandpa held a stick in his hand to push away the weeds in front of him. Jiang Tian carried various tools for digging ginseng on his shoulders and held a machete in his hand.
Old man Li was holding a shotgun and always paying attention to his surroundings.
The three people lined up in a straight line and walked slowly towards the mountain.
Grandpa hit the trees with a stick, making a banging sound.
The reason why Old Man Li came to ask his grandpa to help him go into the mountains to find ginseng is because his grandpa learned this skill from the people in the north when he was young and wandering around.
He now holds the position of leader, leading others to seek help.
¡°That is to say, there are not enough people, otherwise it will be like what my grandfather said. At that time, there were only a dozen people in Changbai Mountain, with a leader leading the team and a side stick, that is, a deputy to help.
The group carried pots, pans, and household utensils and prepared to stay in the mountains for dozens of days or as long as several months.
After coming down the mountain, I basically found a lot of ginseng, even century-old wild ginseng.
You can see a lot of man-made traces here. Small trees were cut down and used as firewood, wild vegetables were dug up, and wild ginseng was nowhere to be found.
After walking for about twenty minutes, grandpa stopped and sighed, "It's not easy to find ginseng now. We need to go deep! You must know that there are everything in the mountains. You must be careful. Once you encounter a wild beast, Run immediately without any hesitation."
Jiang Tian and Lao Li nodded heavily. They didn't come here to risk their lives.
As they continued to go deeper into the mountains, the trail that people took had disappeared. The road was rugged and overgrown with weeds. Every step must be taken with extreme caution.
There is a broken dead tree in front. The lower half is full of life, with branches growing, while the upper half is dry and moist, with blossoming umbrella-shaped mushrooms scattered on the ground.
They walked over, and Lao Litou made a distinction and praised: "It's not bad luck. I came across the Corianderma gallinarum. This thing is a good thing. It can be eaten in various ways. It is delicious. In the village It doesn¡¯t mean that you lost a big carp, stewing soup with colinus is definitely a masterpiece.¡±
Grandpa knelt down and picked it up skillfully without breaking it, and put it into the basket carried by Jiang Tian.
"With this thing, there must be a termite nest. Fortunately, it is relatively far away from the village. Otherwise, if the termites arrive in the village, no matter how good the wood is, it will be eaten out in just a few days."
"Go on, don't waste time!"
They set off again. At this time, there were many trees in the mountains. The tree crowns blocked most of the sunlight, which fell through the gaps and formed pillars of light below.
Water vapor filled the air, dew fell on the three of them, and the air around them was sultry, making them somewhat breathless.
This is good, but if you encounter miasma, it will be troublesome.
Jiang Tian held a machete and looked around. He had gone into the mountains when he was a child, but he only had a brief taste. As soon as he came in, he was asked to leave and was not allowed to go further. He was told that there were wolves, blind bears, and wild boars. Whenever he encountered one , then you can¡¯t leave.
"Maybe it's because of the sparse population and the well-preserved original ecology. Jiang Tian can feel the presence of spiritual energy around him. Although it is rare, it is at least a little bit.
Suddenly, he heard slight movement on the right front.
"Grandpa!" Jiang Tian called softly and pointed over there.
Grandpa was holding a stick, while Lao Li Tou was holding a shotgun.
There is a cluster of bushes there, and the leaves are moving slightly.
They stared intently, and suddenly, a gray shadow appeared inside. It turned out to be a wild rabbit. It was quite fat, especially its belly was very distended.
Grandpa held down Old Li Tou¡¯s shotgun and said, ¡°Let it go, this is a hare that is about to give birth.¡±
The hare glanced at them a few times, then jumped away.
This is the simple thinking of people living in the mountains. If they see a wild rabbit, they canIf it is easy to catch, they don't mind an extra meal in the evening, but as long as the baby is pregnant, it will be released.
Grandpa continued to beat the trees with the stick, and the banging sound echoed in the woods. This was actually not a good thing, as it could easily attract wild animals, but if you want to find wild ginseng, you must use this method.
After going deep for another ten minutes, they smelled a light fragrance and looked over. Not far away, there was a tree about seven or eight meters high. It grew in an oval shape, with a thick trunk and leaves. lush.
The closer you get, the stronger the fragrance becomes, but it is different from the disgusting strong fragrance. This kind of fragrance makes people relax after smelling it.
Old Li touched his grandfather and said, "Hey, do you think we should go into the mountains more often in the future? Take a look. Such a big wild tea tree is a rare thing."
Jiang Tian asked: "What is a wild tea tree?"
"It's Pu'er tea. It's rare to see it in the wild. The brewed tea tastes good, and the seeds can also be squeezed for oil. I used to eat vegetables fried with the oil squeezed from Pu'er tea seeds. It's really delicious. It's similar to peanut oil and soybean oil. It just tastes different.¡±
Grandpa rolled his eyes at him, "You think I don't want to go into the mountain? Do you know how many people come in and never go out again? Hurry up and pick some tea leaves. Don't forget the purpose of your coming here."
¡°As he said that, my grandfather walked over, only two meters forward, and suddenly stopped.
Holding the stick in his hand and knocking on the tree trunk nearby, he shouted loudly: "stick!"
Lao Litou felt nervous and responded: "What kind of goods?"
"Lampstand!"
Old Li Tou felt excited and ran over quickly. He saw a three-year-old five-leaf ginseng on the ground. That is, three more branches grew on the main branch, and each branch had five leaves. Because these three branches had five leaves. Each branch looks particularly like the three claws of a lampstand, hence the name.
Grandpa took something out of his backpack, tied it to the ginseng with red thread, and tied copper coins to both ends.
After he kowtowed and knelt down three times, he slowly started digging with tools.
These are all rules. Regardless of whether they are true or not, they all need to be followed.
My grandpa looked like he was an expert at digging ginseng. He was very careful not to damage the ginseng beard at all. He dug it out completely and put it into a box covered with red cloth.
He breathed a sigh of relief, "We have got the wild ginseng, let's go down the mountain quickly." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
