Mr. Zhang heard Zhang An say that he found it in the woods below Yingzui Cliff. After thinking about it for a long time, he still had no impression.
"Xiao An, how did you find that forest? No one would go there now."
Naturally, Zhang An would not say that he had already entered the old forest and encountered a pack of wolves in the forest.
As for the fact that the leader of the wolf pack is the biological father of Xiaohu and the others, Zhang An is not going to say it.
So it looks like the two deer deer at home are going to take the blame.
"Second Master, aren't you the two deer deer outside? The big tiger and the two tigers were chasing after them closely. They went in after them. Unexpectedly, they found a large piece of Ganoderma lucidum and these Huang Jing inside."
"Oh? You caught the deer? This thing is not easy to catch, but you actually caught it alive."
Mr. Zhang Er became more and more amazed by his grandson's skills. At that time, he took him to Huang Lao Er to learn the technique of this trick. He did not expect that he himself still had this talent.
"Hey, Second Master, no matter how powerful the deer is, it will always get tired from running. Our dogs can chase it up several mountains. We will catch it when it has no strength left."
Zhang An was not telling lies. The biggest deer was chased by the tiger cub and only stopped when he could no longer run.
"Come on, take me to have a look. No one has caught deer deer for a long time. Grandpa Qin Si shot a small one when we had a gun at home. I still remember the smell of the deer meat."
When Mr. Zhang was young, he often hunted for meat like this because there were more meat in the mountains. At that time, his family could not afford to buy meat. Even if he went to the mountains to hunt something, he only ate it once in a while, and most of the other hunts were sold.
Exchange money for food.
So the taste of meat that I finally tasted at that time left a deep impression on people.
Zhang An took his second grandfather and second grandmother to the deer shed and took a look at the two deer that were tied up by Zhang An.
Although it's dark now, Zhang An's deer shed is wired and has a big light bulb inside, making it quite bright.
So this will turn on the light bulb, and it will be the same as it is during the day.
Dahua's family and Dahuang's family thought they were there to see them, so they all stretched their heads over and coquettishly asked Zhang An for some food.
"Go and play by yourself."
Zhang An slapped them away and walked to the edge to look at the two deer.
"Second Grandpa, look, these two guys are big guys."
Mr. Zhang was looking at the two deer carefully, and he found that they seemed different.
"Anzi, what color do these two deer look like during the day? Are they gray and black?"
Zhang An felt a little strange when he heard his second grandfather's question.
"Second Grandpa, you read that right. They are all gray and black during the day. If you always want to eat them, let's kill one and eat them yourself."
When Mr. Zhang was talking to Zhang An just now, he looked nostalgic for the camphor meat he had eaten before.
If his second grandfather likes to eat, Zhang An really plans to kill one of his own to eat, since there is still room for two.
When Zhang An said this, he exuded the aura of a rich man.
"What are you eating? This thing is a treasure. If you eat it, you will really become a prodigal. This is not our local deer, this is a fragrant deer."
Mr. Zhang said that it looked weird. When he got close to the male deer, he could vaguely smell a very light smell.
Because Mr. Zhang often handles some herbal medicines and is sensitive to smells, Zhang An did not notice the smell, but the old man did.
Apart from anything else, every year Mr. Zhang sells herbal medicines worth hundreds of dollars, and those good treasures Mr. Zhang has not sold yet, he only sells common and ordinary herbal medicines.
Mr. Zhang thought he smelled something else, but when he entered the deer shed, he found that the deer had gray-black fur. He was a little unsure, thinking it was because of the night or because he was dazzled.
Asked Zhang An.
But after asking Zhang An, Mr. Zhang further confirmed that these two deer were not native deer from the mountains, but fragrant deer capable of producing musk.
"Ah, what's the difference between deer deer and fragrant deer deer?"
Zhang An was a little confused. He was not very familiar with this aspect. To him, there was only one more word between "Zhang Zi" and "Xiang Deer Zi".
The meat of deer is very fragrant, so there is nothing wrong with calling it fragrant.
"Anzi, the deer you are talking about are the local deer here. Their fur is earthy yellow, and the two deer you caught are called fragrant deer, also called musk deer. The male ones can produce musk, and musk is very fragrant.
It’s expensive and valuable.”
"It is said in the Compendium of Materia Medica that the deer has no fragrance, and the one with fragrance is the musk deer, which is commonly known as the soil deer and the fragrant deer. So the deer you mentioned before is called the deer deer, and this one is called the deer deer, which is the forest deer in our mountains."
When Zhang An heard this, he understood.
"Oh, I thought deer deer and fragrant deer were the same thing. Because the meat of deer is very fragrant, it is also called fragrant deer. It turns out they are not the same thing."
Seeing Zhang An's sudden realization, Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "Raise them well. I just saw them. They are a male and a female. If you raise them well, you can make a lot of money."
Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo watched the grandfather and grandson talking and didn't listen to anything else, but they listened to the last sentence about making money, and they all said that they would feed them well in the future.
"Well, it's a good thing that I called Grandpa Er to come and see it. Otherwise, it would be a pity to kill it for me and eat it."
Zhang An had heard of musk in his previous life, but he only heard about it. He only knew that it was very valuable, but he didn't know that musk was the fragrant deer.
"In the past, the only way to collect incense was to kill the deer, but in the past two years, I seem to have heard that you can collect incense without killing the deer. I will go to the county another day to ask how to collect incense.
We will pick it up when the time comes."
Zhang An looked at Master Zhang's expression at this time and felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it before.
Although I think about it, when it was time to cut the deer antlers, wasn't Mr. Zhang's expression like this?
If Dahua could understand human speech, she would definitely say it to Mr. Zhang.
You are such a bad old man. Brother, run away. This old man is trying to catch your attention.
Back in the main room, Zhang An poured out all the Huangjing, and now only the last thing was left.
Zhang An didn't waste any time and took out something wrapped in bark from the basket.
Mr. Zhang's heartbeat is a little faster now. The last time he dug up ginseng, he taught Zhang An how to wrap it.
Finally, under everyone's expectant eyes, Zhang An opened the bark of the tree, and a thick and long ginseng was displayed in front of everyone.
Mr. Zhang even looked at it motionless for a long time.
Then he suddenly said, "Jianguo, clean up the table, set up the incense table, and prepare to burn incense."
The old ginseng sticks I dug up last time were quite big, which left a lingering impression on Mr. Zhang’s mind.
But this time, the one in front of me is no worse than last time, and is even much bigger.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart how profound his grandson's blessings were.
So he immediately asked Zhang Jianguo to clean up the table under the shrine, put out the incense burner, and prepare to burn incense and worship the gods.
Zhang An did not say anything to dissuade him and allowed the old man to do what he wanted to do.
In their hearts, they feel that this is a blessing from God, so since their family has received this blessing, they should receive their own share of the incense.
Moreover, Mr. Zhang also felt that it was the ancestors in heaven who protected the Zhang family. Otherwise, why would their family have been able to find things that others could not find for generations?
So no matter what, you should burn incense and pray.
Soon, after the table was wiped clean, Zhang Jianguo had already set up the incense burner he often used at home and took out the incense sticks he bought earlier.
After Mr. Zhang lit the incense stick on his hand, he respectfully bowed three times to the memorial tablet of Zhang An's family, and then bowed three times to the sky outside the gate.
Finally, after Tong said a prayer, he inserted the incense stick into the incense burner.
If I could dig up ginseng last time, it could be said to be a coincidence, but how long has it been?
This large frame of Polygonatum odorifera contains many old ones, including these wild Ganoderma lucidum, these old ginseng sticks, and the two fragrant deer deer in the yard.
In the eyes of Mr. Zhang, it can no longer be explained by chance.
"Xiao An, did you go into the mountains this time just to find Laoshenbangzi?"
If Mr. Zhang had not figured it out before, he has come to his senses now.
Who would be willing to go into the old mountains and forests if nothing happens? It's not a pleasant place to stay.
"Yes, Second Grandpa, because a friend said that I need it, I went into the mountains to try my luck. If I can find the best one, I just go into the mountains and take a look around."
Mr. Zhang really wanted to say what to do if he couldn't find it, but the fact was that Zhang An found it.
When Mr. Zhang went back, he asked Zhang An to put away these Huangjing. When dawn tomorrow, he would come over and teach Zhang An how to prepare these things.
For Mr. Zhang, it is time to hand over these craftsmanship to the younger generation, especially since Zhang An is quite close to these craftsmanship.
After Mr. Zhang and his wife left, Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo didn't talk much to Zhang An, and asked him to go to rest early. He probably didn't sleep well last night in the mountains.
But actually Zhang An slept very well last night.
There is no way, there is a kind of good thing called mother doing it for your own good.
Zhang An, who returned to the room, only now remembered to call Ding Yi.
Toot~
After a few calls, someone picked up the phone.
"Hey, Old Ding."
"Zhang An, are you back?"
Hearing Zhang An's voice, Ding Yi was a little surprised and a little expectant.
"I'm back. I just came down from the mountain tonight."
"How about it?"
"It will live up to your expectations and will give you a surprise."
After hearing Zhang An's words, Ding Yi knew the result.
He went to the Chinese Medicine Hall to ask the old shopkeeper about these two ends, but he didn't want to take action.
The trend of superstitious ginseng has become more and more popular in the past two years, and he is afraid that it is easy to buy fake ginseng in the market.
Spending money in vain is a small thing, but being embarrassed in front of the old man is a big deal.
"I know you have different luck, so why don't I come over tomorrow?"
Although Zhang An found the ginseng, Ding Yi still wanted to get it as soon as possible so that he would feel at ease.
"Okay, then you can come over tomorrow. I'll wait for you at home. Remember to bring someone who understands, otherwise I won't be responsible if something goes wrong."
After chatting for a few words, Zhang An hung up the phone. The phone bill was quite expensive now, and he would not spend a long time chatting on the phone with an old man.
Lying on the bed, Zhang An didn't feel sleepy at all.
He immediately entered the space, and now he remembered that the Polygonatum seeds he found on the mountain before were still there.
Zhang An found a place, picked the seeds from the Polygonatum stalk and planted them in the ground.
Zhang An is not superstitious, but he is superstitious about this thing.
Although I have heard many stories about how miraculous it is, and how those Taoist monks far away in the mountains use it to cultivate the realm of Bigu.
There are also many people who call this thing "surplus grain of the immortal family".
Zhang An had never seen it with his own eyes, so he didn't quite believe it.
But Second Grandpa’s living example made him have no choice but to believe it.
After planting the Polygonatum odoratum, Zhang An sprinkled some Ganoderma lucidum powder on it.
I believe it won’t be long before you can see them growing.
Walking to the peach tree, Zhang An found that the two wasp nests he had brought in before had now built another large hive on the branch of the tree.
It looks like I need to find a forest carpenter to build a few beehives.
Seeing Zhang An approaching, the two deer deer, which were rolling on the grass just now, ran to Zhang An and acted coquettishly towards Zhang An.
The little fragrant deer has grown quite a lot now. Although there is still a gap between it and the male deer in the deer shed outside, Zhang An can clearly feel that it has grown a bit.
Seeing how good they were, Zhang An rewarded them both with a slap on the head and picked some cherries from the tree to feed them.
After doing all this, Zhang An turned around and left the space.
At this time, Zhang An could feel that his parents were already sleeping.
Zhang An simply stopped thinking about other things, emptied his mind and began to feel sleepy.
I have to say that this was really effective, and Zhang An fell asleep within a short while.
The next morning, just after Zhang An finished washing, Zhang An's second grandfather had already come to the door.
He also had some tools in his hand. Today he was here to teach Zhang An how to make Polygonatum japonica.
Zhang An also weighed it with a scale. Although it still weighed 71 kilograms with mud, it was quite a lot.
"Xiao An, take out your big wooden basin. My grandfather and grandson washed these guys today."
Zhang An also saw Zhang An finish weighing Huang Jing, so he asked Zhang An to go home and take out the wooden basin and start cleaning it.
Although he was shaken last night, he didn't expect these Huang Jing to be so heavy.
Soon Zhang An took out the big wooden basin at home.
Open the water pipe, put in a full basin of water, and put part of the Polygonatum sibiricum in it.
"Second Grandpa, I can wash it alone, you can just teach me by your side."
"Haha, I'd better teach you while I'm washing. There's so much Huangjing, so if you wash it alone, you might have to wait until tomorrow."
After speaking, Mr. Zhang took out the tools in his cage, which he had obtained to wash the yellow essence.
"When washing Polygonatum japonica, you should pay attention to washing them cleanly and not to puncture them. The sections between the sections of Polygonatum odoratum are the most difficult to wash because there is a lot of sediment in them and they need to be washed clean."
Mr. Zhang grabbed one and started to show it to Zhang An, and then began to teach Zhang An how to wash it the fastest without damaging the Huangjing.
Zhang An also started to learn it in a decent manner, but after all, he was not a good hand, so he still poked a little bit.
Finally, the family began to bathe the wild polygonatum in the yard.
