After Man Bao took care of all the wounded soldiers, he ran to Bai Shan and said, "Let's dig up flowers and plants."
Bai Shan was busy. The emperor was recently dealing with the cities that had been captured during this period. He wanted to change the names of those cities, and he also had to select officials from the court to take over the cities. He also had to select some local wealthy elders to meet with him to show the emperor's kindness.
, and then give them the position of first or second leader of the place.
After the emperor decides on these matters, they need to write imperial edicts and official documents to explain them. Sometimes the emperor cannot remember who is who, and they have to remember it for the emperor.
I really think Zhongshushe people are easy to do, and those with a poor memory cannot stay in front of the emperor, otherwise they will be raped in the next day if the emperor doesn't know anything about them.
However, being so busy, Bai Shan still thought about it and said, "Wait until I get to Shenshi."
"Forget it," Man Bao said, "The days are short now, and it will be completely dark at most two hours after Shen Shi. Give me Daji, and I will take him there."
Bai Shan: "...Are you doing it for good luck?"
Man Bao chuckled, "I don't want to take anyone else with me."
Bai Shan sighed and said: "Okay, you go ahead and take the two guards at home. There are many defeated troops scattered now. The forest may not be safe. It would be bad if deserters are accidentally hidden in it."
Man Bao nodded in agreement and went to find Daji.
So after lunch they went into the mountains carrying medicine baskets.
Because he knew the place was far away, Manbao went there on horseback.
They were able to ride horses at first, but when they entered the depths of the forest and there were branches everywhere, it became difficult for them to ride horses again, so they had to dismount and tie them up.
Keke guided her to find it, and after a while there was a ding-dong sound. Manbao followed Daji with a medicine hoe, and said to Keke: "Don't scan too far away. If you go in too deep, it is not only dangerous, but we can't
Come out."
Keke doesn't care about her, it only scans, and whether to dig it or not is Manbao's business.
Manbao was speechless, so he could only follow Keke's instructions, and finally found the plant he specified, so he started digging.
Man Bao looked at it and didn't think it was medicine, but hey, he took it first.
There was a towering tree that she had never seen before on the road. Manbao walked around in a circle, and finally made Daji climb up and break a branch for her on the pretext that the branches seemed to be useful for concentration.
In fact, if Daji hadn't stopped her, she could have climbed up by herself.
The two guards obviously rarely followed Zhou Man out to dig things out, and they could not accept their mistress's unreasonable troubles for a while.
But Daji's expression did not change, and he looked accustomed to it. He took off his shoes, climbed up the tree, and cut off a branch and leaf for her with a knife.
Man Bao kept it very well. Things were not easy to come by, so she decided to divide them into more sections after returning, so that they could not only be included in the encyclopedia, but also posted on the forum.
Continuing forward, Man Bao saw a piece of ginseng in a thick place with rotten leaves.
It's really a piece.
This was the first time she saw this thing. The ginseng she had seen before was all dried and dried, and she had never seen raw ginseng.
Man Bao trotted forward and knelt down to take a look.
She pulled away the dead leaves on the ground, started looking at the ginseng, her eyes lit up, and asked Keke: "Are they big?"
"There are two big ones, and the others are smaller."
Man Bao heard shopkeeper Zheng Da say that ginseng is very difficult to dig, especially if it is intact, the whiskers will break if you are not careful.
Korean ginseng is only found in the Liaodong area, and the participation in the Central Plains is different.
Manbao put down the medicine basket, took the medicine hoe, and solemnly said to Daji: "We have to be careful when digging this thing. Forget it, I'll dig it myself."
She was afraid that they would dig it up because it was all money.
So Man Bao picked up a hoe and started digging. It was her first time digging, so she first found a small ginseng tree nearby to practice. She was careful, but she still accidentally broke several ginseng roots.
Whiskers.
Man Bao summed up his experience in his mind and immediately dug the second root. Finally, it no longer broke.
When Zhou Man dug out the first ginseng root, Daji and the others opened their mouths in surprise. They had found such a good thing. No, it was the mistress who found such a good thing.
The two guards couldn't help but swallowed.
Daji was also surprised, but he soon calmed down. Seeing how hard she was digging, he simply took a hoe and said, "I'll dig it for you from the side."
This way, the speed is faster, the digging range is larger, and the ginseng is better.
Man Bao responded.
Manbao dug out five of them, and they were all good ones that Keke selected for her. The rest were a bit too small, so Manbao didn't dig them.
After pushing the soil back and filling the hole, Man Bao clapped his hands and looked happily at the five ginseng roots he had dug out and laid on the ground. Two of them were very big, with a big head and a fat body.
Yes, it is also divided into four sections, which look like human arms and legs.
Daji dug out a piece of dirty cloth in his backpack, which was originally intended to wrap the roots of medicinal materials. He knew that Manbao had the habit of wrapping the roots for planting, and sometimes digging some soil for them.
"Madam, wrap it up with this."
"good."
Man Bao carefully put the ginseng on it, wrapped it up and put it under the backpack. She and the three of them said, "You know this, I know it, don't tell others, you know?"
The guard asked blankly: "What if the young master asks?"
Full of treasure and speechless.
Guard B patted him and said, "The eldest lady will tell the young master."
Guard A then remembered and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Manbao gained a lot and asked Keke: "Is there anything nearby that has not been collected?"
"No, the nearest one is on the other side of the mountain. It takes about two hours to walk from here."
Forget it, it's getting dark now.
Man Bao touched the basket on his back and asked it, "You haven't collected the ginseng yet. Are you able to scan the raw ginseng that appears in the range before you collect it?"
Keke seemed to know what she wanted to do, and after a moment of silence he said, "Yes."
Manbao smiled instantly, and his smile was so bright. Daji looked at her smiling face and couldn't help but laugh, "The lady is so happy."
Man Bao nodded: "I'm very happy."
"Don't be too happy," Keke said: "If you delay in collecting it, it will lose its activity and you won't be able to collect it, but you may not have time to collect the next one."
What he said seemed to make sense. Manbao hesitated for a moment and then said to him, "I'll go back and think about it."
Man Bao happily returned to the camp with a basket on his back. It was almost dark when he returned. Bai Shan stood at the gate of the camp waiting for them. Seeing that they could come back before dark, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to greet them.
You left food, you have to come out earlier next time, it’s very dangerous after dark.”
