Chapter 261 Ginseng the size of a radish
Su Xiaoxiao was cooking alone in the kitchen and was in a good mood. The knife wound on her hand was almost healed.
Now it doesn't hurt even if I cook.
Su Xiaoxiao started to stir-fry. After all the vegetables were simmered with seasonings, they were stir-fried again. They were very tasty.
Dabao and Xiaobao can no longer play. They are so greedy that their mouths are watering just by smelling such a fragrance.
Su Xiaoxiao did not cook today, but stewed rice and made a simple egg soup. Dabao and Xiaobao also like to eat soft food.
After eating, when Su Xiaoxiao was about to clean up, she saw Dabao directly stopping Su Xiaoxiao.
"Mom, please rest for a while. Besides, your hands are not very good yet, so let me wash the bowls and chopsticks!"
Su Xiaoxiao saw Dabao being so obedient and sensible, and she finally felt the sense of accomplishment of being a parent for once.
As long as your children are obedient, sensible, and know how to cherish their parents, then all your hard work in taking care of Dabao and Xiaobao will be in vain.
Su Xiaoxiao was afraid that the water outside was too cold, so she boiled a pot of hot water for Dabao and asked Dabao to wash the dishes.
Dabao was also very obedient. At this time, it started to snow outside. Dabao looked very happy and said to Su Xiaoxiao: "Mom, it's snowing outside."
At this time, both Dabao and Xiaobao ran into the yard together and started running crazy.
The two children were really naughty and started running around wildly outside.
Dabao suddenly ran up to Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Mom, how about we go to the river to catch fish together?"
This suggestion suited Su Xiaoxiao's wishes quite well. She was very bored staying at home and couldn't let go of her energy after a full meal.
"Okay, hurry up and finish washing the dishes, and we'll go catch fish together."
If the weather gets colder, there will really be no chance to catch fish by the river.
Mainly at that time, if the small river had just started to freeze, it would be really dangerous to walk on the river.
Su Xiaoxiao was really afraid that something would happen to these two children, and it had been a fixed habit for these two children to come to the river to catch fish with their original owner since they were young.
In order to fill their stomachs, the other child also likes to go to the river to catch fish, which is quite fun.
The three people came out of the house and walked along the mountain road towards the river.
When we walked to the river, there were almost no people there.
It’s freezing cold, so it’s probably hard to catch fish at this time.
Dabao wanted to catch fish so much, and Su Xiaoxiao knew it, so she had to come over with the basket and harpoon to try her luck.
Maybe catch a few small fish.
Sure enough, because of the cold weather, Dabao, Xiaobao and Su Xiaoxiao stayed by the river for a long time, and finally caught a few old fish.
Just as he was about to walk back, Dabao saw a strange grass under the big tree where Liu Datou once tied him up.
There was a cluster of red beans blooming on the top of this grass. Dabao asked Su Xiaoxiao very curiously.
"Mom, look at these beautiful flowers. How about we pick them back?"
Su Xiaoxiao took a closer look and saw that what was growing under the tree was not a flower, but a ginseng plant.
The red round beans on the top of the ginseng are not ordinary petals. Look at the flowers growing on this ginseng.
At this time, Su Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, "This definitely cannot be an ordinary ginseng, it must not be too small."
Dabao heard Su Xiaoxiao say this was ginseng, and thought about it carefully, it was a kind of memory.
When he was a child, when his father Liu Xiaoshu took him hunting in the mountains, he really encountered such ginseng. He asked Su Xiaoxiao.
"Is it the kind of ginseng that looks like a radish?"
Su Xiaoxiao was happy when she heard it. "Well, actually it looks similar but not very similar."
After hearing Su Xiaoxiao's answer, Dabao was actually quite surprised. He opened his eyes wide and asked Su Xiaoxiao very curiously.
"That's not a carrot, what exactly is it?"
"Probably a carrot that has become a spirit."
Su Xiaoxiao said so.
This thing is actually very precious. Su Xiaoxiao is afraid that this ginseng will turn into essence. After some ginseng turns into essence, it will basically grow into the shape of a child.
That kind of ginseng is not easy to catch, that's why Su Xiaoxiao said this.
As soon as Dabao heard this, he became a spirit, and all the monsters appeared in his mind.
With that kind of excitement and nervousness, he looked at Su Xiaoxiao expectantly.
"We'll find out when I dig it out."
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were shining brightly, and she was actually looking forward to it.
Dabao asked Su Xiaoxiao in a low voice, "Mom, how do you dig this ginseng?"
Dabao knew subconsciously that this ginseng tree must be very valuable and must be dug carefully.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while, took off the red rope on Xiaobao's head, and then tied the copper coins she carried with her to the red rope to prevent the ginseng tree from escaping.
After Su Xiaoxiao completed so many ritualistic behaviors, Dabao and Xiaobao were stunned when they watched.
Digging this kind of ginseng requires a special skewer made of deer bones, because only that skewer will not damage the skin of the ginseng.
As long as the dug ginseng is intact, the ginseng will be more valuable.
Su Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought for a moment, but what should she do if she didn't have these things?
Su Xiaoxiao looked around and found a small wood chip from the ground.
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was in such trouble, Dabao asked Su Xiaoxiao.
"Mom, why are you taking so much trouble? Let's just pull out the ginseng?"
Su Xiaoxiao quickly whispered to Dabao, "Don't talk nonsense. This is not a radish. You have to dig it up little by little so as not to destroy the roots of the ginseng. Remember?"
When Dabao heard this, he wanted to come over and help Su Xiaoxiao dig together.
"No, you can just watch from the side."
If Dabao wants to dig together, Xiaobao next to him will also come over and do it.
Su Xiaoxiao knew that this ginseng plant was very important. She should have made a big deal this time, so she cherished it very much.
Su Xiaoxiao patiently dug ginseng under the tree, while holding the ginseng leaves with her hands, trying not to damage the ginseng leaves with her own wood chips.
Speaking of which, after the soil around here was excavated, it was also eye-catching.
Su Xiaoxiao saw it, and everyone's eyes lit up. This was a big ginseng tree, complete and with all its roots.
Su Xiaoxiao saw that the ginseng tree had grown into the shape of a child, but after Dabao saw it, he still said to Su Xiaoxiao: "Mom, I think this ginseng tree still looks like a radish."
Su Xiaoxiao was almost amused by the child's innocence. She carefully held the ginseng in her hand. Su Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised.
Although I didn't catch many fish on this trip, this ginseng tree was very valuable.
