Chapter 149 Wild Ginseng
“Sister Song, can we really use this to hunt pheasants?”
Song Wei: “You can’t, you have to practice.”
"Then Sister Song, can you teach me?"
"Okay, or you can ask your brother to teach you when you are at home. He should be able to."
There were big and small footprints on the snow, and the two of them walked deeper into the mountain while chatting.
Song Wei was observing the surroundings. It would be great if he could find the footprints of pheasants or rabbits.
“Sister Song, there are small red fruits over there.”
The small red fruits appearing in the white snow are very eye-catching.
Song Wei was originally observing whether there were any footprints of wild animals around him, and looked in the direction pointed by Hei Dan.
"It seems to be Schisandra chinensis."
The red fruit looks like a bunch of small grapes. This is also a traditional Chinese herbal medicine that the hospital collects.
She took the black eggs over and picked them up in a smaller bag.
The total was less than three taels, and it was still undried. Although it was a little less, she didn't waste it.
After picking the Schisandra chinensis, continue walking in this direction.
About ten minutes later, she heard the sound of flapping wings.
Song Wei's eyes lit up, he gave Heidan a silent gesture, and then led him quietly towards the direction of the sound.
Her movements were very light, and the person holding the black egg did not affect her movements.
Finally, I came under a tree and put the black egg down.
Everyone, one big and one small, poked their heads out from behind the tree and looked forward.
The clucking of the pheasants was extremely clear at this moment.
Luckily, she met him.
And there are two of them.
I don’t know why the rookies are pecking each other and fighting.
The feathers of pheasants are very beautiful, especially the two roosters, with long tail feathers trailing behind their buttocks.
They flapped their wings and briefly flew into the air, pecking and scratching at each other.
Song Wei would not miss this opportunity and immediately took out the prepared stones and slingshot.
She aimed at one of the pheasants. At this moment, her whole person looked serious and serious, as if she was holding a gun in her hand.
With a hiss, the stones flew out and hit one of the pheasants at an extremely fast speed.
With a clatter, the pheasant that was hit by a stone tilted its neck and fell limply in the snow.
Another pheasant was frightened and spread its wings to fly away.
But another stone followed, and the pheasant that flew less than two meters away landed straight on the ground.
“I hit, two pheasants!”
Hei Dan was so happy that he held his breath completely for fear of scaring away the two pheasants before, but now he is squawking and jumping with excitement. of.
“Go pick it up.”
Heidan rushed out immediately, walking in the snow with his short legs hanging upside down, and came back with two pheasants with a flushed face.
It's still early in the morning, so Song Wei plans to look for anything else.
She didn't care too much. With two pheasants, she wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, she had enough meat to entertain her brother.
"Sister Song also has red fruits there, but they seem different from the ones we picked before."
After finding a few more Schisandra chinensis plants, Song Wei had a pound of Schisandra chinensis in his bag.
Looking up towards where Heidan was talking, Song Wei opened her eyes wide in the next second.
“That’s not Schisandra chinensis.”
She trotted over with Black Egg, staring at the herb with red fruits and constantly identifying it.
The leaves are in the shape of five fingers spread out, and there are not many leaves on this plant.
The small red oval fruits growing out from the middle of the leaves clearly indicate the identity of this plant. Wild ginseng.
She smiled, her eyes flashing brightly: "Heidan, we are so lucky today."
She has always known that there are wild ginseng in the mountains here, but Wild ginseng has had an extraordinary status in the field of traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times, and its price remains high.
The older the wild ginseng is, the more expensive it is.
Even ordinary villagers who have never read a book know about the famous wild ginseng.
Therefore, it is impossible to find wild ginseng in places frequently visited by people outside the mountains.
You have already been discovered and poached.
There must be wild ginseng in the deeper places, but she has never encountered it before coming to this mountain several times. She has encountered many other herbs.
I didn’t expect to be so lucky today that I encountered one.
Her eyes were shining, and she squatted on the ground and began to use a knife to pull away the surrounding snow and soil.
When I got to the back, I started digging bit by bit with branches.
She only knew that this thing was wild ginseng, but she could not identify the year of this thing.
But since you have encountered it, of course you have to take it away.
"I have to dig for a long time. You can play around by yourself but don't run too far."
Wild ginseng is a thing that has the effect of replenishing the body even with its tiny tendrils. You must be careful not to break any ginseng tendrils when digging. The better the quality, the more expensive it will be.
She was also patient, controlling her strength and digging into the soil bit by bit with the branches.
Fortunately, the soil here is relatively soft, so as long as you are careful, you will not break the ginseng whiskers.
Hei Dan originally wanted to help, but seeing how cautious Sister Song was, he was afraid that he might not do something right, so he squatted aside and watched helplessly.
Song Wei stopped what he was doing, patted the dirt on his hands and washed them with snow, then grabbed a few handfuls of fried nuts from his pocket.
Take out some more pine nut candies.
She also ate some herself. The pine nut candy was sweet and had the unique fragrance of pine nuts. It was crunchy and delicious after one bite.
“If you’re not going to play, just eat something to pass the time.”
Heidan nodded obediently and saw that Sister Song was busy again. He sat on the basket and peeled nuts by himself.
After peeling it off, eat one and keep two.
The one left behind is for Sister Song.
He also spread the handkerchief in a clean place and then placed the peeled nuts on it.
Both the big one and the small one were doing their own thing seriously, completely unaware of a nimble squirrel running towards them.
If Song Wei saw it, he would definitely feel familiar.
Yes, this squirrel was the one she had taken out of its food nest before.
As luck would have it, there was also a grain nest that it remembered. It ran over with a mouth full of nuts, and unexpectedly smelled a familiar fragrance.
It was the super delicious nuts that the big Twoleg gave himself that day!
The squirrel followed the smell and ran over, climbed up the tree, stood upright and twitched its nose, and found two two-legged beasts.
There is one that is familiar to it, and there is a small one.
The scent came from the two-legged beast when I was little.
The squirrel twitched its tail, lying close to the black egg and waving its big fluffy tail.
Black Egg, who was carefully shelling nuts, was suddenly hit by something.
It’s a snow ball.
He raised his head but saw nothing. He thought it was snow falling from the trees and didn't pay attention to it.
Continue.
It was hit again within a few seconds.
Heidan raised his head: "It's strange, why did it fall on me?"
When he was hit for the fifth time, he became angry.
I moved to another place holding the nuts and the basket on my back.
The peeled nuts were still there, and he planned to get them after he had moved the others.
