Chapter 472 Staying in the Mountain for the Night
......
The next day, Qin Xiaomi got up at Chen.
Jiang Dalang got up at half past midnight and spent half an hour planting the perilla he dug up yesterday.
The Qin family’s front and back yards are lined with various kinds of things.
When Qin Xiaomi got up, Jiang Dalang was watering the perilla seedlings. When he saw her, Jiang Dalang raised a bright smile and said, "Good morning, Xiaomi."
He asked again: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do your legs and feet hurt? "
He walked on the mountain road all day yesterday, and he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it.
Qin Xiaomi shook his head: "There is nothing uncomfortable."
The people in the west of their village practice martial arts every day, so walking in the mountains for one day will not be too uncomfortable the next day.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's go and have breakfast." Qin Xiaomi said and went to wash up and have breakfast.
Not long after eating, Doctor You, Huang Yanglong and the others arrived at the west of the village.
Doctor You is in high spirits and is still very excited about going to the mountains to find medicinal materials.
Huang Yanglong was visibly haggard, and his interest in going up the mountain was greatly reduced.
"Master Huang, if you really can't hold on anymore, don't go up the mountain today, otherwise you won't make a fuss about coming down when you get halfway up the mountain." Qin Xiaomi stabbed him.
Huang Yanglong was the most offended and immediately shouted: "Who do you look down on, daughter of the Qin family? Isn't it just a matter of going up the mountain to search for medicinal materials for three days? I think back then, I spent a month searching for pearls in the water, which was many times more tiring than searching for medicinal materials!" "
"Okay, since everyone is not tired, let's get together and go up the mountain." Qin Xiaomi looked at Qin Ying.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
Qin Ying immediately struck the gong and shouted: "Everyone gather... report the number of people... everyone!"
"Today's route is to go first into the forest, and after seeing the rosin, then go around Go to the south of the mountain, go deep into the mountain from the south of the mountain, and then go back home from the north of the mountain! ”
After saying this, he looked at Uncle Qin with anxiety.
As a result, Uncle Qin scolded me again: "Look at what I'm doing. If you think I'm right, just set off!"
"Oh... Let's set off into the mountains!" Qin Ying turned around , carrying a strange flag, leading the way for everyone.
The team first went to the forest where pine resin was cut yesterday and collected the rosin dripping in the wooden bowl.
"How much does it weigh?" Qin Xiaomi asked.
Xunzi, Xiao Moutong, Xiao Baiying, and Xiao Shanglu are all medical students, and the hand that holds medicine is a scale. They first weighed the wooden bowl, and after knowing the weight of the wooden bowl in their minds, they weighed the wooden bowl and rosin together. Finished.
After a while, Xiao Baiying took the lead in giving a weight: "Xiao Dongjia, the rosin of this tree is about one, two, and six cents."
"Qin Xiaodong, my tree has one, two, and four cents." Money goes up and down," Xunzi said.
"Little boss, the rosin from this tree costs one or two or eight yuan!" Xiao Moutong shouted from a distance.
It took half an hour to find out the amount of fat produced by the twenty trees.
Qin Xiaomi was very satisfied and sighed again: "The plants here are really impressive and grow better than many places."
The color of madder is better than modern ones and better than those in Dasheng Dynasty.
The amount of fat produced by Pinus tabulaeformis is also greater than that of modern and prosperous dynasties.
Modern pitch pine is considered good if it can produce one or two rosin a day.
The highest fat yield of the Chinese pine trees in Dasheng Dynasty is only about one, two or four qian.
But in the Great Wei Dynasty, the amount of fat produced by this not-so-cold Northeastern state pine reached an astonishing one-two-eight cents... The amount of fat produced by one tree was as much as that of two modern trees.
“This back mountain is really the right thing to buy.” Qin Xiaomi once again felt that he had found a treasure.
Second Uncle Qin and his wife immediately flattered her: "My little niece, you are a blessed person. The good things in this world will naturally line up to see you." "But niece, you are still young, so it is When you need a good rest to grow up, you don’t dare to worry about too many things... like this Well, your uncle and aunt will help you take care of the output of the back mountain, so that you can earn countless money without any effort."
Qin Xiaomi chuckled: "What a coincidence, today. Zaoliu Po also told me the same thing.”
"What? Aunt Sixth Hall is looking for you?" Second Uncle Qin said anxiously: "Don't listen to her, what does she know as an old country woman? Besides, she is separated from us. After two generations, what will happen? We are already on the fifth server, but we are half of your parents. If your parents are gone, we can make the final decision for you as your blood relatives. "
Qin Xiaomi thought they farted and said to Jiang Dalang and the others: "Take the twenty trees that have been cut, and then cut them left and right on the original incision."
After the rosin solidified, The incision will no longer allow the rosin to flow out. You have to make two more cuts every day to allow the rosin to continue to flow out.
“Hey.” Jiang Dalang responded, drew his knife and went to work.
Soon, after they finished cutting twenty trees, they set off again.
It goes from the forest to the south of the mountain.
The south side of the mountain is a bit far away from here. The team walked around for half an hour before reaching the south side of the mountain. It can be seen that the mountain behind the ghost village is huge.
“Let’s start walking deeper into the south of the mountain!” Doctor You led the big guys, looking for medicinal materials as they walked.
The south side of the mountain has more light, so on this day, although the distance they walked was not as far as yesterday, and 30% of the medicinal materials were duplicates, they also found forty new medicinal materials!
Among them, eight kinds of good medicinal herbs cost twenty cents a pound.
On this day, Doctor You only agreed to go down the mountain after dark.
When I returned to the village, I was lectured again by Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin and Secretary Guan.
Doctor You listened humbly and promised again and again that he would arrive in the village before dark tomorrow.
......
But the next day, when he was about to go down the mountain, Doctor You suddenly said: "Qin Xiaodong's family, the second brother Qin, and Mr. Huang, you go back down the mountain first. We, master and disciple, have more thoughts. Let’s walk higher for half a day and then go back down the mountain tomorrow.”
ah?
Qin Ying was confused: "Doctor You, we agreed not to spend the night in the mountains."
Why did you change your mind?
Doctor You smiled sheepishly: "It was indeed agreed, but the plan might as well change... It's the last day anyway, so you just let me be wild for a while."
"Really For the past three days, we have been wandering around the shallow mountains, but the medicinal treasures in the back mountains are so rich that I would not be willing to go deeper into the mountains. ”
He also pointed out that there were no valuable medicinal materials, and the medicine store might not be willing to invest heavily here. "There must be valuable medicinal materials in this mountain. We have to find one or two to convince the big owner of our medicine store to invest money." "Come here."
In the end, he actually wrote a disclaimer on the spot: "If something happens to us in the mountains, we will be responsible for it and it has nothing to do with you. They don't have any responsibility to us."
Youyu disagreed: "Doctor You, my father said that the medicine-seeking team cannot spend the night in the mountains, and you must follow the slaves down the mountain."
"No, if you don't agree, our master and apprentice will stay in the mountain by ourselves, and you and Qin Xiaodong's family will go down the mountain." Doctor You was very determined and even started to cheat.
It was so different from the usual Doctor You that Yu Yu was a little stunned.
Huang Yanglong's eyes were shining with a look on his face, 'Take me with you, take me with you, I will stay here too'!
Doctor You was too determined, and everyone was afraid that their master and apprentice would run into the mountains without authorization, so they had no choice but to compromise.
But for safety reasons, the personnel staying on the mountain are reassigned.
In addition to Youyu and Doctor You's masters and apprentices, Huang Yanglong, Xiaobai, Huang Laowu, Xue Feng, Xu Erjun, and Xiao Moutong all stayed in the mountains.
Most of them are skilled in martial arts and are capable of handling it if anything happens.
Originally, Qin Xiaomi wanted Jiang Dalang to stay. After all, he was good at skills and familiar with the mountain terrain, so he would be more useful in case of an accident.
But Jiang Dalang disagreed and insisted on accompanying her down the mountain to go home... The only thing he had to do in this life was to protect her. He didn't care much about the lives and deaths of other people.
"Doctor You, you should be more careful at night, we are going down the mountain now." Qin Xiaomi said.
"Don't worry, we are veterans of searching for medicine in the mountains. We know how to spend a safe night in the mountains. Come down the mountain quickly. Have a good trip!" Doctor You smiled all over his face and couldn't wait to let them go down the mountain.
