Chapter 466 New Family Member
The weather is nice today, the sun is shining brightly.
All the way to the top of Niutoushan, facing the breeze and the sun shining on your face, your mood becomes sunny.
After stopping for a while at the top of the mountain, Zhou Ziwen continued to move forward.
The mountains are rich in resources, like an untapped treasure.
From time to time, Zhou Ziwen can dig up a herb.
Honeysuckle, plantain, fleece-flower root, cocklebur, motherwort...
Zhou Ziwen has no shortage of some of these herbs, while others have been collected and prepared to be kept in the health room as inventory. .
After receiving work points in the clinic, you should also put in some work to avoid being gossiped about.
The demand for herbal medicine in the health room is not big, especially now that everyone is working, there are even fewer people coming to see a doctor.
Originally, health workers in the countryside like them were both workers and farmers. They worked in the fields when they were busy and acted as doctors when someone needed treatment.
It’s just that Zhu Jianguo has Accountant Zhu, and because of Zhu Youde, he became a full-time hygienist.
As for Zhou Ziwen, the leader of the mushroom team is his main job, and the clinic is just a name.
But as a nominal person, his medical skills are better than those of the full-time health workers, and he is also the leader in the health room.
The villagers came to see a doctor, all because of him.
"Hey, this ginseng is of good vintage!"
Suddenly, Zhou Ziwen, who was wandering in the mountains, felt happy.
Not far in front of him, a green plant looked no different from other plants, but Zhou Ziwen recognized it at a glance. It was ginseng.
Because he wanted to grow ginseng, he had a better understanding of the size of the ginseng during this period. Although he had not dug it out yet, he could roughly estimate the age of the ginseng.
The ginseng plant in front of him was at least eight years old.
Ginseng in this state does not need to be cultivated anymore, it can be dug up and sold for money.
However, Zhou Ziwen is not lacking in this point. The older the traditional Chinese medicine like ginseng is, the better the effect will be.
As long as there is no shortage of money, of course, the longer the vintage, the better.
After digging up a relatively old ginseng plant, Zhou Ziwen was in a very good mood. He remained in a good mood for the next half day.
When it was almost noon, he summarized what he had gained today.
One eight-year-old ginseng, one seven-year-old ginseng, eight five-year-old ginseng, and several three-year-old ginseng.
A basket full of herbs, most of which are ginseng.
"It's almost time. Let's go back to eat first and come back in the afternoon."
Looking at the time, Zhou Ziwen called out to Tayun and rushed back with him.
For half a day, he searched Erdao Mountain.
However, Erdao Mountain is too close to Niutoushan. Some brave villagers will come here to collect herbs. What he can find here are basically fish that slip through the net.
If you really want to dig for older herbs, you have to go to Sandao Mountain and Sidao Mountain.
All the way home, before he could take a breath, it was time to get off work.
After a while, Chen Qiaoyi's chirping voice sounded outside.
“Brother Ziwen, we are back!”
Seeing that the courtyard door was open, the girl started shouting before she even entered.
"What good things have happened, why are you so happy?" Zhou Ziwen asked with a smile.
"Hee hee, Zhao Xiaohua said that their dog is one month old, let us catch it!"
Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go catch it after work in the afternoon!" Zhou Ziwen nodded and smiled.
Zhou Ziwen was also very happy with the news about the puppy.
This means that their family is about to have a new member.
In fact, there are many families raising dogs in the village. In this era, rural dogs are not valuable. Anyone who wants them can catch them just by saying hello.
Having too many dogs at home is sometimes troublesome. You can’t sell them for much money, so you can raise them yourself, but you can’t afford them, so you can throw them away, but you can’t let them go. If someone is willing to catch it and raise it, they might be happy!
"Yeah."
Chen Qiaoyi nodded obediently.
This girl likes small animals very much, dogs, rabbits, chickens, as long as they are animals, she likes them all.
She basically feeds the poultry at home.
With the expectation that a new member would be added to the family, everyone was in a good mood for the rest of the afternoon.
Their appearance is similar to that of the educated youth raising pigs at the Educated Youth Institute.
In the afternoon, Zhou Ziwen first planted the ginseng dug in the morning in the ground, and then went to the mountains to continue collecting herbs.
After a long time, he harvested a lot of ginseng.
After planting the ginseng in the ground, Zhou Ziwen raised his head with satisfaction.
After his efforts in the past few days, a lot of ginseng has been planted in the ginseng field. In his private land, only a few places have not yet been planted with ginseng.
According to the current progress, this piece of yellow land will be fully planted in a few days.
Looking at the time, it was almost time to finish work. Zhou Ziwen clapped his hands and told the little one lying in the doghouse to look at the ground carefully, and then packed up and went home.
This side of Shendi has basically become the little one’s territory now. Except for when Tayun comes to change shifts during meals, little one is here to watch the rest of the time.
After returning home and putting down his things, Zhou Ziwen quickly came to the mushroom room.
"Team Leader Zhou."
"Team Leader Zhou, you are here!"
"Brother Zhou."
When he came to the mushroom room, the team members who saw him greeted him one after another.
Zhou Ziwen has a good relationship with the members of the mushroom group, which is also related to the fact that he does not hide his mushroom cultivation skills.
In addition, he is modest and everyone respects him.
"Haha, how was the mushroom house today? Nothing went wrong, right?"
Zhou Ziwen asked with a smile.
"No problem, these mushrooms are fine! According to me, these mushrooms can be harvested now."
Wang Dayou in the group said.
“It’s still a little early to harvest. Let’s give it another two days. Prepare what you need to prepare tomorrow so you don’t get confused by then.”
Zhou Ziwen ordered.
The preparations he mentioned are actually some tools for harvesting mushrooms.
After all, there are a lot of mushrooms to batch. If we don’t prepare in advance, we won’t be able to finish them all in a while.
"No problem, I will go find Accountant Zhu tomorrow."
Wang Dayou nodded.
During this time, Zhou Ziwen inspected the members of the Mushroom Group and found that Wang Dayou was a good person and a suitable candidate for the group leader.
Of course, in line with the attitude of treating everyone equally, whether you can become a group leader must pass his assessment.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
Zhou Ziwen nodded and handed this task to him.
Then, Zhou Ziwen walked around the various rooms of the mushroom house to get a good idea of the growth of the mushrooms.
His mushroom cultivation skills have reached level seven, and his cultivation skills are also improving. Because the types are the same, there is not much difference in some experiences. By analogy, the two skills can be said to complement each other.
At the end of the day, the proficiency gained by hanging up is much more than other skills.
This discovery surprised Zhou Ziwen.
But he only paid a little attention to it. After all, the planting skill itself includes growing mushrooms.
It is actually a bit wasteful for him to hang up these two skills at the same time.
