Chapter 42 Descending the Mountain (please collect and recommend)
Zhang An slowly climbed down from the top. He could have jumped down, but he was carrying ginseng now, for fear of damaging it if he moved too much, so he slowed down Climb down slowly.
Zhang An handed the ginseng stick in his hand to the second grandfather, and the second grandfather carefully picked it up and looked at it.
“This one is much bigger than the one I dug before, more like a humanoid. Look at how well the limbs grow, tall and fleshy.”
Mr. Zhang held it in his hand as if he were a newborn baby.
It’s a pity that I didn’t bring a red thread with me today, because I wasn’t looking for ginseng today.
Finally, Mr. Zhang picked up a hatchet and cut off a section of bark, and asked Zhang An to go up and get some soil from the roots he had just dug, and finally wrapped the ginseng tree in it. This was to make the tree The tree is relatively easy to preserve.
There are far less rules in the southwest than in the northeast. There are more ginseng there and the history of digging ginseng is longer, so some traditional customs have been formed.
There are many rules to follow when carrying ginseng, but there are none in Changqing.
Before leaving, Mr. Zhang recited the sacrificial words to express his gratitude to the mountain god for allowing them to meet Shenbangzi.
"By the way, Xiao An, how did you find it? It's such a high place that most people can't climb up, and they can't even think about it, and why are these deer here."
Secretary Zhang was very curious about how Zhang An found it. This ginseng tree.
Although the male deer is very familiar with Xiaohu, he does not know Mr. Zhang.
So when I saw Mr. Zhang coming, I took the deer far away and watched Zhang An from a distance.
When the old man asked, Zhang An told the story. Of course, he hid the space-related things and said that he saved the deer.
"This is fate. If it weren't for it, you wouldn't be here. Good intentions will be rewarded. The animals in the mountains and forests are actually somewhat spiritual. Xiao An, remember that in the mountains and forests from now on. , remember to kill less.”
Zhang An naturally agreed that protecting the environment is everyone’s responsibility.
"By the way, Second Grandpa, this ginseng will be sold when the time comes, and we will divide it up. Then I can drink whatever wine I want."
Listen to what Zhang An said. , Second Master Zhang was very happy. He treated Zhang An as he treated his own grandson all these years.
"Anzi, listen to what Second Grandpa said, whether you keep this ginseng or sell it, you should handle it yourself. Don't tell others that Second Grandpa doesn't want it, because Second Grandpa is old and wants it. The money is of no use anymore. Those guys are fighting over you to give it to me, so don’t even think about sharing it with Grandpa Er. This is your own blessing. Remember, don’t tell them when you go home. , otherwise I’m afraid some of them will come to you.”
Mr. Zhang told Zhang An seriously that he had lost confidence in his sons, and they might not be able to rely on him to provide for them in the future.
“But Second Grandpa...”
Before Zhang An could finish, he was interrupted by Second Grandpa Zhang.
"It's nothing, Xiao An, remember what the second grandpa told you. If you are serious, the second grandpa will be happy every time you bring some wine to the second master. Okay, let's just say it. You are not allowed to go back. He said that he dug up ginseng sticks today, did you hear that?”
Zhang An heard the second grandfather’s firm words and knew that the second grandfather definitely didn’t want it, so Zhang An didn’t talk about it anymore. It would be nice if my grandparents were better.
The grandfather and grandson were talking and laughing along the way. This is how the family happiness is generally described. Grandpa Zhang An is no longer here, and Master Zhang has been playing the role of Grandpa Zhang An all these years.
On the way down the mountain, the grandfather and grandson discovered another cluster of gallinophilia, which was quite large in number and large in size.
Now the old and the young are even happier.
Zhang An quietly dug up some root soil where the gallinobacteria grew and put it into the space.
Generally, there will be residual bacteria on the roots and legs of such fungi. As long as they are not destroyed, they will have a chance to grow back in the future.
"I'm very lucky today. This basket of fungi can be sold for a lot of money." Mr. Zhang's face was flushing now.
This basket of gallinophilia can be sold for dozens of dollars by someone who knows the stuff in town, which is quite a lot.
"Second Grandpa, didn't I remember that you like to eat this the most? We won't sell it and eat it ourselves. Now our family can afford this thing."
Zhang An's mouth was filled with the aura of a rich man.
Thinking of the ginseng in Zhang An’s backpack, it definitely weighs a lot.
"Okay, then I'll take it to your house and let your mother make it, and we'll eat it."
Xiaohu didn't gain much from going up the mountain today, because Zhang An and the old man kept shouting It didn't let it run around in the mountains for fear of encountering wild boars. When we arrived at the entrance of the village, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
Secretary Zhang gave the fungus to Zhang An, and then went back carrying other herbs on his back.
"Second Grandpa, please tell Second Grandma to stop cooking later. Come to my house for dinner tonight, and I will let my mother make soup."
After hearing Zhang An's words, Mr. Zhang agreed and went home.
Xiaohu ran home first when he was at the entrance of the village. Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang at home also knew that Zhang An was back.
Zhang An held the gallinopsis and envied many people along the way. After all, a few dozen yuan can buy a lot of meat.
“Hey, there are so many fungi. They must be worth a lot of money. Today’s trip to the mountains was not in vain.”
Wang Fang watched Zhang An enter the yard, still holding a bunch of fungi. .
"It's definitely not in vain. I'll give you and my dad a surprise later."
Zhang An closed the courtyard door smoothly.
Drawing my mother and father home, I put down the gallinopsis in my hands.
"Dad, Mom, no matter what you see later, don't get too excited and don't let anyone hear it."
Zhang An took a vaccination first, and specially treated the two of them He shouted into the kitchen.
Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang were a little surprised as to why their son was so talkative today.
However, when Zhang An opened the lid of the backpack, took out the bark, and then opened it to show them the ginseng sticks inside.
Zhang Jianguo is relatively well. Although his face is flushed, Zhang An can feel the sound of his father's heartbeat.
But Wang Fang was not so calm and shouted directly, "This is ginseng..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jianguo covered his mouth, this thing Don't make any noise, otherwise you will be easily attacked by thieves.
"Xiao An, is this a ginseng stick?" Wang Fang asked in disbelief.
Zhang Jianguo also looked at Zhang An. It was obvious that he was also asking Zhang An.
"Yes, Dad, Mom, this is ginseng. It is very valuable to hold, and this ginseng is very big."
Zhang An's words reassured Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo. This thing is so precious.
“Did you find this or did Erye find it?”
"I found this. When I finally dug it, it was too high for my second grandfather to get up, so he guided me to dig."
Then Zhang An told his parents what he told his second grandfather. He read it again and what the second master said to him.
The two of them suddenly became quiet.
"Mom, don't think about it. Don't talk about it outside. What the second master said makes sense. After giving the second master money, it will still be those uncles who are fighting over it. They have been fighting for it all these years. What he did made the second grandpa and the second grandma feel disappointed. Anyway, we can just be nicer to the second grandpa and them in the future."
Hearing this, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang also agreed with their son. They were mainly afraid. If a dispute arises, your relatives will quarrel and the outsiders will laugh. Moreover, the money is quite a lot, which can turn the two relatives into enemies.
"By the way, Mom, we can keep these mushrooms for ourselves. We will ask Grandpa and Grandma to come over for dinner in the evening. You can cook breakfast."
Zhang An was holding the water. Went out to cleanse myself.
After hearing Zhang An's words, Wang Fang started to prepare meals. Today, he was going to make something good to express condolences to the family's heroes.
