Chapter 42 Going down the mountain (please collect and recommend)
Zhang An slowly climbed down from the top. He could have jumped down, but he was carrying the ginseng now and was afraid of damaging it if he moved too much, so he climbed down slowly.
Zhang An handed the ginseng stick in his hand to the second grandfather, and the second grandfather carefully picked it up and looked at it.
"This one is much bigger than the one I dug before, more like a humanoid. Look how well the limbs grow, tall and fleshy."
Mr. Zhang held it in his hand as if he were a newborn baby.
It's a pity that I didn't bring the red thread with me today, because I wasn't looking for ginseng today.
Finally, Mr. Zhang picked up a hatchet and cut off a section of bark, and asked Zhang An to go up and get some of the roots and soil he had just dug into the tree. Finally, he wrapped the ginseng tree in it, in order to make it easier to preserve.
There are far less rules in the southwest than in the northeast. There are more ginseng there and the history of digging ginseng is longer, so some traditional customs have been formed.
There are many rules to follow when carrying ginseng, but there are none in Changqing.
Before leaving, Mr. Zhang recited the sacrificial words to express his gratitude to the mountain god for allowing them to meet Shenbangzi.
"By the way, Xiao An, how did you find out? It's such a high place that most people can't climb up, and they can't imagine why these deer are here."
Mr. Zhang was very curious about how Zhang An found this ginseng tree.
Although the male deer was familiar with Xiaohu, he did not know Mr. Zhang.
So when I saw Mr. Zhang coming, I took the deer far away and watched Zhang An from a distance.
When the old man asked, Zhang An told the story. Of course, he hid the space-related matters and said that he had saved the deer.
"This is fate. If it weren't for it, you wouldn't be here. Good intentions will be rewarded. The animals in the mountains and forests are actually somewhat spiritual. Xiao An, remember to kill less animals in the mountains and forests from now on.
"
Zhang An naturally agreed that protecting the environment is everyone’s responsibility.
"By the way, Second Grandpa, this ginseng will be sold when the time comes, and we will divide it between the two of us. Then I can drink whatever wine I want."
Hearing what Zhang An said, Mr. Zhang was very happy. He had treated Zhang An as he had treated his own grandson all these years.
"Anzi, listen to what Second Grandpa said, whether you keep this ginseng or sell it, you should handle it yourself. Don't tell others that Second Grandpa doesn't want it, because Second Grandpa is old and there is no use asking for money anymore.
You are also being fought over by those guys, so don’t think about sharing it with Grandpa Er. This is your own blessing. Remember, don’t tell them when you get home, otherwise I’m afraid they will
One comes to find you."
Mr. Zhang told Zhang An seriously that he had lost confidence in his sons and they might not be able to rely on him to provide for them in the future.
"But Second Grandpa..."
Before Zhang An could finish, he was interrupted by Mr. Zhang.
"It's nothing, Xiao An, remember what Grandpa Er told you. If you are serious, Grandpa Er will be happy every time you bring him some wine. Okay, let's just say it. Don't say that you dug ginseng sticks today when you go back.
, did you hear that?”
Zhang An heard the second grandfather's firm words and knew that the second grandfather definitely didn't want it, so Zhang An didn't talk about it anymore. He just wanted to be nicer to his grandparents in the future.
Along the way, the grandfather and grandson were talking and laughing. This is how the family happiness generally goes. Grandpa Zhang An is no longer here, and Master Zhang has been playing the role of Grandpa Zhang An all these years.
On the way down the mountain, the grandfather and grandson discovered another cluster of gallinophilia, which was quite numerous and quite large.
Now the whole family is happier.
Zhang An quietly dug up some root soil where the Corysporium galliformis grew and put it into the space.
Generally, there will be residual bacteria on the roots of such fungi. As long as they are not destroyed, they will have a chance to grow back in the future.
"I'm very lucky today. This basket of fungi can be sold for a lot of money." Mr. Zhang's face was now flushed.
This basket of gallinophilia can be sold for dozens of dollars by someone who knows the stuff in town, which is quite a lot.
"Second Grandpa, didn't I remember that you like to eat this the most? We won't sell it and eat it ourselves. Now our family can afford this stuff."
Zhang An's mouth was filled with the aura of a rich man.
Thinking of the ginseng tree in Zhang An's backpack, it was definitely not light.
"Okay, then I'll take it to your house and let your mother make it, and we'll eat it."
The little tiger didn't gain much from going up the mountain today, because Zhang An and the old man kept calling it and didn't let it run around in the mountain, for fear of encountering a wild boar.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
Mr. Zhang gave the gallinobacteria to Zhang An, and then went back carrying other herbs.
"Second Grandpa, tell Second Grandma to stop cooking later. Come to my house for dinner tonight, and I'll let my mother make soup."
After hearing Zhang An's words, Mr. Zhang agreed and went home.
Xiaohu ran home first when he was at the entrance of the village. Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang at home also knew that Zhang An was back.
Zhang An held the gallinopsis fungus and envied many people along the way. After all, a few dozen yuan can buy a lot of meat.
"Hey, there are so many fungi. They are worth a lot of money. Today's trip to the mountains was not in vain."
Wang Fang watched Zhang An enter the yard, still holding a pile of fungi.
"Then it's definitely not in vain. I'll give you and my dad a surprise later."
Zhang An smoothly closed the courtyard door.
I took my mother and father home and put down the gallinobacteria in my hands.
"Dad, Mom, no matter what you see later, don't get too excited and don't let anyone hear it."
Zhang An got vaccinated first and called the two of them into the kitchen.
Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang were a little surprised as to why their son was so talkative today.
However, when Zhang An opened the lid of the backpack, took out the bark, and then opened it to show them the ginseng sticks inside.
Zhang Jianguo was relatively well. Although his face was flushed, Zhang An could feel the sound of his father's heartbeat.
But Wang Fang was not so calm anymore and shouted directly, "This is ginseng..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Jianguo covered his mouth. Don't yell about this thing, otherwise it will be easily stolen.
"Xiao An, is this a ginseng stick?" Wang Fang asked in disbelief.
Zhang Jianguo also looked at Zhang An, and it was obvious that he was also asking Zhang An.
"Yes, Dad, Mom, this is ginseng. It is very valuable to hold, and this ginseng is very big."
Zhang An's words reassured Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo, this thing is too precious.
"Did you find this or did the second master find it?"
"I found this. When I finally dug it, it was too high and my second grandfather couldn't get up, so he guided me to dig it."
Then Zhang An told his parents what he said to the second master, and what the second master said to him.
The two of them suddenly became somewhat quiet.
"Mom, don't think about it. Don't talk about this outside. What the second master said makes sense. After giving the second master money, it will still be the uncles who are fighting over it. What they have done in these years makes the second master
Grandpa and Second Grandma are heartbroken. Anyway, we just need to be nicer to Second Grandpa and them from now on."
Hearing this, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang also agreed with their son. They were mainly afraid of causing disputes. Then their relatives would quarrel and let people outside see the joke. Moreover, the money was a lot, which could turn the two relatives into enemies.
"By the way, Mom, we can keep these mushrooms for our own consumption. We will ask Grandpa and Grandma to come over for dinner in the evening. You can cook and make breakfast."
Zhang An took the water and went out to clean himself.
After hearing Zhang An's words, Wang Fang started to prepare meals. She wanted to make something good today to express condolences to the family's heroes.
