Chapter 54 Big Goods
Xiaohe Production Team.
It has been raining for more than a month. The rainwater in the fields and mountain streams has gathered, and streams are flowing in the ditches and canals in the wild.
The water in the pond and reservoir has reached the water level during the wet season.
Especially at night, you can really hear the sound of frogs.
The rain is abundant, and the loaches, eels, small fish, and shrimps in the field ponds are extremely active.
In the Lin family, Lin Gang and his eldest nephew Lin Dongfa are also extremely active.
The eldest nephew, the younger brother-in-law, and the uncle-nephew stay at home every day with nothing to do, so they wear raincoats and bamboo hats and go to the fields and ponds to catch fish and shrimps in the rain.
Early in the morning, the person who just got up disappeared again.
Lin Shu yawned and walked into the kitchen. The remaining warmth of the ashes in the stove was baking half-dried fish and shrimps. There are many loaches and eels raised in water in the wooden barrel.
Lin Shu smelled the aroma of fish and shrimp filling the room, took out a plate of spicy small dried fish from the cupboard, took out two steamed buns from the steamer, and finally served himself a bowl of multigrain porridge.
Sitting in the hall eating breakfast, I looked at the weather outside. It was cloudy, with neither rain nor sun.
"Mom, where have the others gone?"
Liu Xiao'e just finished feeding the pigs and came in from the outside. Holding a bucket and a hand net, he should be catching fish and shrimps again."
"What about Xiaojun and Zhuangzhuang?"
"The two of them are restless and went to play next door." Liu Xiao'e said while washing her hands: "I really hope it won't rain again. It has been raining for more than a month, and the clothes and quilts at home have a musty smell."
Lin Shu nodded, the rainy day lasted for too long, everything in the house was very damp, and the clothes were not easy to dry after washing.
"The loach and eel that have been saved recently weigh less than 100 and 80 pounds. They are still catching them. Do they want to send them to the rural sales department?"
"Who knows how they arranged it? You are Knowing that the boy Lao San asked him to work, he worked hard every day, these heretical things Xi is interested, I guess he wants to go to the sales department to exchange money."
Lin Shu ate the spicy dried fish with a look of enjoyment on his face. These small fish and shrimps are not valuable in the countryside, so why not. He said that if you dry it with a little patience, it will be made into spicy dried fish. It is really delicious and can be served with rice or porridge.
"After breakfast later, I will go outside for a walk."
Liu Xiao'e warned: "It just stopped raining today, and the dirt roads and fields are wet everywhere. The shrubs and weeds on the mountains must be full of water drops. You Don't go up the mountain."
"I know, I'll just walk around."
After breakfast, I went out with the basket and the medicine hoe.
There were many people in the fields. The team leader did not call the villagers to work, but each villager had his own plot of land. When the rain stopped, those who couldn't stay idle would go to their plot of land.
Lin Shu left the village and met many villagers returning from cutting pigweed. Everyone smiled and said polite words when they met.
There is no clear sky after the rain, so you can't go into the low bushes, but you can still go into the forest full of tall trees.
This kind of forest has tall trees, relatively little vegetation on the ground under the forest, and no thorns.
With nothing to do, Lin Shu couldn't hold himself back since he hadn't collected herbs to make money for more than a month.
As soon as we entered the forest, we found a lot of madder growing in the forest.
Rubia is a perennial climbing herb of the Rubiaceae family. Rubia means red, and Rubia has been a natural plant pigment since ancient times. The ancients used the rhizome of Rubia as a dye, and it has a good color-fixing effect.
【Madder has the effects of cooling blood, removing blood stasis, stopping bleeding, and stimulating menstruation. The whole plant can be used as medicine and is worth one yuan per pound. 】
One yuan per pound, the price is good.
The soil in the forest is very soft, which makes it easier for Lin Shu to dig. The roots of the madder do not grow very deep and are very developed. The entire plant can be pulled out with a little digging, which is trouble-free.
[Host, there is a patch of horsetail five meters ahead. ][ Horsetail grass, also known as spruce grass, male and female grass, knotweed, etc., belongs to the Equisetaceae plant of the Equisetaceae family. It has the effects of clearing heat, diuresis, improving eyesight and removing nebula, and is worth 0.5 yuan per pound. 】
Lin Shu sold the last dug out madder to the system, picked up the medicine hoe and walked forward.
[System, is the whole plant used as medicine? 】
【Back to the host, you can just cut off the surface part. 】
【I only brought a medicine hoe when I came out, not a sickle. The value of this herb is not very high. Let’s collect another herb. 】
As soon as Lin Shu finished her words, she noticed a few Polygonatum plants not far away.
[System, look at these Polygonatum japonicus plants that are almost up to my neck. I think the vintage is quite good. 】
【Please host, please dig out the Polygonatum sibiricum and bury the top bud in place again, so that it can be recycled. 】
【Okay, you don’t need to tell me. I didn’t bury the section with buds in the soil. 】
Polygonatum is the most exciting to dig when it is older. A root often weighs one to five or six kilograms. Moreover, the price of Polygonatum is not low, two yuan per kilogram. If you dig a few plants, you can earn a day's profit. There is a guarantee.
[System, have you seen Huang Jing for decades? 】Lin Shu asked excitedly.
【.】
Lin Shu dug up the surface layer of soil, and the rhizomes of Polygonatum sibiricum were exposed.
[Wow, my God, system, look at how beautiful the rhizomes are in each section. Let me count how many sections there are? 】
One, two, three, four sixty-nine, seventy, seventy-one, seventy-two.
[Tongzi, a rhizome with more than 70 knots, Polygonatum japonica for more than 70 years, this is the first time I have encountered Polygonatum odorifera after digging for so many days. Today seems to be my lucky day. 】
Lin Shu concealed his excitement, cleaned out the entire tray of Polygonatum rhizome, and sold it to the system on the spot.
The system showed that this rhizome weighed more than ten kilograms, and it was sold for thirty-six yuan.
Burying the top rhizome with buds in the original pit, Lin Shu looked at the other Polygonatum seedlings that had not yet been dug up with burning eyes.
It seems that no one has come to dig these unknown plants in this forest. The vegetation is well protected. Lin Shu thinks that the other few plants will also produce big products.
[Back to the host, none of the herbs in this forest have been damaged, and the vintage is good. Come on, try to dig more. 】
【After a month of decadence, since I found a good product today, I naturally have to dig deeper and try to make up for the losses of more than a month. 】
Several Polygonatum spp. are all aged for decades. The oldest one is more than 80 years old, and the others are more than 50 years old, 60 or 70 years old.
Lin Shu dug out several Polygonatum odorifera plants he found and sold them for a total of one hundred and twenty-five yuan.
Today’s harvest in one morning is equivalent to two days of digging by one person in the past. Sure enough, digging high-value herbs means high efficiency.
When I entered the forest, I was digging for herbs and didn't pay attention to anything else. When I returned, I discovered that there were still fungi in the forest.
I picked it up casually, and when I came out of the forest, the basket was already half full.
"Sister-in-law, are you going up the mountain again?"
While passing by a large paddy field, I met Lin Gang and Lin Dongfa who were catching loaches in the ditch of the paddy field.
"Well, I went up the mountain to pick up some fungi. What did you get?" Lin Shu stretched his neck and looked at the bucket they placed on the ridge of the field.
Thank you [What is it called] Baozi for your monthly ticket support~
