Chapter 88 A great harvest
"Gu Jiu, come here quickly, I found a few Polygonatum japonica plants here."
"Here they come."
Gu Jiu mentioned Lin Shu walked over with half a cloth bag, handed the cloth bag to Lin Shu, then took out the medicine hoe from the snakeskin bag and prepared to dig.
Lin Shu put the cloth bag in the newly purchased backpack, pointed to the side, and said: "I also found a few yellow trees there. You dig here, and I will dig there."
Huangdu is also called Huanggutou and Huangyaozi among the people.
Single root, single stem, independent growth, hence the name Huang Du.
【Huangdu has the effects of dispersing knots, eliminating galls, clearing away heat and detoxifying, and is worth one yuan per pound. 】
"Okay, be careful."
"Well, we rode an hour's ride to the mountain here. We found several medicinal materials as soon as we went up the mountain. I think we should have a lot of harvest today. , Come on, Mr. Gu.”
Seeing her winking at him mischievously, Gu Jiu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and waved the medicine hoe under his hand more vigorously.
Huangdu has a single root, so it is easier to dig than Polygonatum.
It was easier for Lin Shu to dig.
"Shu Shu, come and take a look, we have another big deal today."
Gu Jiu exclaimed from below.
Lin Shu threw the dug Huangdu into the basket and trotted to Gu Jiu.
I saw that the soil in front of him had been dug up, and the Huangjing buried in the soil was exposed. It was coiled on the ground one by one, and it looked like it was intertwined.
Lin Shu covered her mouth in shock: "Wow, with so many knots, how old is this tree?"
"I just counted it casually, it's about ninety. Years later." Gu Jiu raised his head and asked excitedly, "Will it affect the price if it is broken later?"
Lin Shu shook his head: "No."
When selling to the system, it only looks at quality.
Lin Shu knelt down and inspected the rhizomes, and found that there was no root rot in such a old Polygonatum sibiricum, which was really strange.
General Polygonatum sibiricum is old, and sometimes the nutrients cannot keep up and the roots will rot.
Gu Jiu plated out the Polygonatum japonica and said, "Shu Shu, how much do you think this one weighs?"
"It should weigh ten or twenty kilograms." Lin Shu was not sure either.
Gu Jiu pointed to a big fir tree next to him and said: "We dug so much not long after we entered the mountain. We will pack these in snakeskin bags later and put them under the big tree first, and we will pick them up when we get back."
It’s too tiring to carry dozens of kilograms of stuff up the mountain just after entering the mountain.
Lin Shu agreed. The newly dug Huangdu weighed about ten kilograms. It would be best to put it in a marked place first.
The two packed the snakeskin bags and placed them under the big tree. Lin Shu found a lot of diamond vines nearby, but the diamond vines were difficult to dig, so they gave up for the time being.
Lin Shu: "There is a monkshood tree here, I dug it up."
"You stand aside and rest for a while, I'll dig it out." Gu Jiu picked him up with all his strength.
Lin Shu looked up at the mountain. After Gu Jiu finished digging, she pointed to the two hills and said: "Today we will go over this hilltop, then cross the mountain col to the hilltop on the right, and finally return to the top of the hill. Here. Have you remembered the route?”
“Remember.”
When digging herbs in unfamiliar mountains and forests, you must plan your route in advance, otherwise you will easily get lost.
This is their first time here, so it’s better to be cautious.
Of course, the route was planned in advance, but if enough was dug halfway through, they would return early and go back down the mountain.
"Shu Shu, why is the hillside here covered with thorns? We can't get through from here. We have to take a detour."
Lin Shu was out of breath from climbing and stood holding Gu Jiu's hand. He straightened up, looked at the thorns he was talking about, took a breath and said with a smile: "This is a golden cherry tree, which is also a kind of medicinal material."
Ancient books record: Golden cherry trees are regarded as golden poppies and are called their sons. It is shaped like a yellow poppy.
In some places, it is also called thorny elm, thorny pear, golden poppy, etc. It has the effects of consolidating sperm and reducing urination, consolidating collapse and stopping vaginal discharge.
Some people in rural areas like to pick it back, dry it and make it into wine, which is called golden cherry wine.
Gu Jiu frowned: "Is this fruit a medicinal material or a rhizome?"
No matter which kind of medicine it is, it is a bit difficult to deal with. Mainly because this thing is covered in thorns.
Fortunately, Lin Shu also knew that this thing was difficult to handle, and said with a smile: "I didn't bring scissors and gloves with me today. Let's pick it next time."
Golden cherry blossoms can hang on the branches for several months, and you can pick them before frost and snow fall, so there is no need to rush.
Also, if picked later, the sweetness of its fruit will increase.
Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then we'll come back to pick it next time."
This mountain is desolate and uninhabited. There are no villages for more than ten miles around. There are really a lot of medicinal materials on the mountain.
Even though Lin Shu and the others focused on two or three kinds of medicinal materials, it took less than three hours for the snakeskin bags they brought to be filled.
Gu Jiu raised his wrist and looked at the time: "It's almost half past two, let's go back."
The two found a creek, washed their hands, and ate a few biscuits before carrying the snake skin. The bag goes back.
Half way, I picked up the snakeskin bag under the big tree and continued down the mountain.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when the two of them returned to the city on bicycles carrying herbs.
Don't mention it, Lin Shu felt weak all over now, especially his legs, which were as soft as noodles.
Lin Shu sat on the stone bench at the gate and didn't want to move. Gu Jiu helped push the bicycle in.
After resting enough, he got up and walked in, closing the door.
"Are these medicinal materials going to be delivered today?" Gu Jiu unloaded all the snakeskin bags from the back seat.
Lin Shu: "Pour it out and let it dry in the corridor first, and then deliver the goods tomorrow."
Gu Jiu looked at her limp body and chuckled: "I don't plan to do it tomorrow. Going up the mountain?”
When Lin Shu heard the laughter, he glared at him with a bit of embarrassment: "You have a day off tomorrow!"
"Haha. Okay, listen to my wife, I have a day off tomorrow." Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing.
The two spent a day hanging out in the mountains and washed their bodies. Gu Jiu made dinner.
After eating, Lin Shu looked at Gu Jiu who was busy before and after, and sighed: "Aren't you tired after a busy day? Sit down and rest for a while, leave these things to tomorrow."< br>
Gu Jiu looked back at her lying on the recliner, and seemed to be in a good mood and replied: "I will hang the clothes and rest with you."
Lin Shu rolled his eyes, "Am I missing your company? I want you to rest. It's not too late to do it tomorrow if it's not urgent."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows: "I have good physical strength, and I can do whatever I want."
"." This arbitrary thought reminded her of the absurdity between the two of them in the morning, so Lin Shu simply closed her eyes to rest.
Gu Jiu hung up his clothes, walked to the lounge chair next to him and lay down, fanning himself, and said, "Actually, after a tiring day, it's quite enjoyable to lie here to cool off and listen to music. "
"Did you know? Now Guangdong Province has introduced a batch of tape recorders from overseas that can play music. As long as there are tapes, you can play different types of music, including classical, pop, and rock. "
"You want to buy it?" Lin Shu opened his eyes and looked at him.
"I want to buy it, will you agree?" Gu Jiu looked at her expectantly.
Lin Shu rolled his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Listening to what you said, I guess this tape recorder is not cheap. You just bought a radio when we got engaged."
Noticing his disappointed look, Lin Shuli Ma changed his mind: "Well, it's not impossible to buy it. In the next days of hiking in the mountains, as long as we dig up black ginseng, I will allow you to buy a tape recorder. How about it?"
Gu Jiu's eyes instantly lit up. Yes, "It's a deal!"
