Rabbits are not easy to catch in winter, especially in the mountains.
But for herb collectors, while looking for herbs, it is still possible to try their luck with a few traps.
Wang Xinyi's father, Wang Changhou, was obviously lucky. A hare weighing more than three kilograms made the siblings smile and discuss what to eat at night.
Either grill it over a fire in the yard, or chop it into eight pieces, braise it, and stir-fry it.
The tiger's eyes were shining and he was so greedy that he kept wandering around the hare.
He touched it with his left hand and kicked it with his right hand. He had long forgotten the small branch with a "handle" that could make him a sword fairy, and lost it without knowing where he was.
Wang Changhou put down the bamboo pole on his back, handed the hoe to Wang Xinyi and said: "Last month I found a wild ginseng at Woniufeng. Because of the bad weather, I didn't dare to move the soil. I was worried that it would damage the ginseng's beards and not sell well.
Price."
"The day before yesterday, yesterday, plus this whole morning, I finally dug it out."
"Hey, I guess it will last twenty years."
Wang Changhou took out the folded square towels from his backpack as if he were treasures, carefully opened them and said, "It's a pity that the weight is a bit light, and it may cost less than a penny after drying."
Huzi said confusedly: "Dad, how much is one dollar?"
Wang Xinyi explained: "One penny is equal to five grams, which is about the same weight as your glass marbles."
Huzi looked disappointed and said, "It's so light."
Wang Changhou laughed and scolded: "You little brat, you are not satisfied. This wild ginseng can pay for my usual three months of selling medicine."
Mu Mu, who was sitting by the well washing his hands, interrupted: "Twenty-three years, four grams."
Wang Xinyi said speechlessly: "You know it again."
Mu Mu laughed a few times and didn't answer.
Wang Changhou calculated: "Based on the purchase price of the traditional Chinese medicine store in the town, dried wild ginseng that is about 20 years old can sell for two thousand yuan per gram."
"My plant is in complete condition and has many roots. Even four grams can be exchanged for eight thousand yuan."
"Xin Yi, it's your birthday in a few days. Haven't you always wanted to buy a down jacket?"
"Buy, buy, buy, dad will take you to the town and pick out the style you like."
The girl couldn't help but couldn't help but couldn't hide her excitement.
But soon, she calmed down and whispered: "Down jackets are very expensive, costing more than a thousand."
"Dad, just buy me a cotton-padded jacket. It's cheap, one or two hundred yuan is enough."
"And Huzi, last year's cotton-padded clothes and trousers were much shorter."
Wang Changhou said cheerfully: "Then buy them all. You must buy your down jacket."
The girl still wanted to speak, but Wang Changhou's eyes suddenly turned red and he blamed himself: "Dad is hopeless and can't make a lot of money, so he can only spend his whole life in the mountains collecting herbs."
"Your father doesn't want to educate me, and he doesn't want to send me out to learn a trade."
"He has been a herb collector all his life, and he has to force me to follow his old path."
"I should hate him, but he is my father. I dare not and cannot hate him."
He carefully wrapped the wild ginseng and handed it to Wang Xinyi, saying: "Your father is stubborn and old-fashioned. He has harmed me all my life."
"You are different. Dad wanted to train you and help you get out of the mountains. But because of his own inability, he dragged you down and forced you to drop out of school."
"Dad is sorry for your mother, and I'm even more sorry for you."
Wang Xinyi shook his head desperately and said with tears in his eyes: "No, I have never blamed you."
The honest and honest middle-aged man picked up the rabbit on the ground and said stubbornly: "Listen to me this time, go and heat up the hot water."
Wang Xinyi wiped away tears and walked to the kitchen, feeling depressed.
Hu Zi didn't know this, so he pulled Mu Mu's left arm and asked, "You seem to be able to pinch and count. Are you really good at it or are you just blind?"
The latter showed off his superior demeanor and said mysteriously: "What do you think?"
Huzi showed admiration and said: "I think you are very powerful, as powerful as Uncle Luo."
"Mumu, teach me."
"When I learn your skills, go up the mountain with my dad. I'll tell you where there are wild ginseng."
"In this case, we can earn a lot of money for our family."
