Old ginseng will produce ginseng seeds every year.
Even if no one sows them, if the ginseng seeds mature and are blown down by the wind, or if they are eaten and expelled by birds, they may take root and grow ginseng again.
There was one seedling with six leaves and three seedlings with five leaves.
According to the rules of ginseng collectors, if you take the big ones and put them away, you will probably be able to keep a lot of four leaves, lampstands or two kilo seeds.
After so many years, maybe someone dug it out, or maybe no one found it, but there will definitely still be ginseng around here.
The Erjiazi seedling I saw just now is probably reproduced from the ginseng seeds that are sold in large quantities here.
Zhou Qingguo was very obedient and followed Xu Shiyan obediently, kowtowing in front of the old omen.
He also muttered something about asking the boss to bless him, make him rich when he meets a big guy, and bless him for safety.
This is not feudal superstition, it is a kind of respect for nature and a yearning for a better life.
The two stood up. Zhou Qingguo looked confused. He didn't know where to look, so he could only ask Xu Shiyan.
Xu Shiyan waved his hand to signal Zhou Qingguo to stop talking. He turned around and looked around, constantly reviewing in his mind the situation of those people searching for ginseng in the mountains.
"Come on, follow me." Xu Shiyan motioned to Zhou Qingguo to follow him, and the two of them walked eastward along the old sign, pushing aside the grass with a rope pick as they walked.
After walking less than fifty steps, Xu Shiyan saw a bright red ginseng seed in front of him. It was so big.
Looking down along the ginseng seeds, under the purple-green stalks, there are six palm-shaped compound leaves, swaying in the wind, as if waving to people.
"Bangchui." Xu Shiyan shouted hurriedly.
"What kind of goods?" This time, Zhou Qingguo was smarter and hurriedly took over.
"Six-grade leaves." On the first day after entering the mountain, I met the sixth-grade leaves. This is very rare.
Xu Shiyan was particularly happy and turned to look at Zhou Qingguo.
Older people say that wild ginseng has spiritual powers.
Aren’t there ginseng dolls and ginseng girls in the ginseng story? It is said that ginseng has a spirit, can run, and can choose the age when it comes out of the mountain.
Therefore, the people who enter the mountains are not destined or blessed, and most of them will not meet them.
In his previous life, Zhou Qingguo was promoted from the security assistant of Donggang Commune to the deputy mayor of Donggang and the mayor of Songjianghe. He then took the cadre examination and was promoted to serve in the city. He was undoubtedly a blessed person.
So, the first time this kid went into the mountains, he sat under a ginseng tree. He also discovered the old omen.
Xu Shiyan had been to this area in his previous life, but he had not encountered Old Omen, nor had he encountered ginseng here.
It could be said that someone came and poached him, or it could be said that it was not Xu Shiyan's chance, so he did not meet him.
No matter whose opportunity it was, they finally got it this time.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Zhou Qingguo learned quickly and continued.
Kuai Dang means auspicious and auspicious, and here it means celebration.
"Qingguo, you stay here and I'll look for you further."
Xu Shiyan took the mallet lock from Zhou Qingguo's hand, marked the ginseng tree, and then asked Zhou Qingguo to guard it here while he continued to look for it.
Sure enough, just fifty or sixty steps east-south from here, Xu Shiyan saw another five-pin leaf.
Searching again, I found two more four-leaf trees.
At this point, it was over. Even if there were others around, Xu Shiyan stopped looking for them.
As the saying goes, if you are a person who is satisfied, you will be rewarded by the mountain god with as much food as you want. Being greedy will lead to trouble.
Xu Shiyan marked all the ginseng he found, and Huang Shengli, who was over there, also carried out the Erjiazi tree.
Everyone gathered together and looked at the sixth-grade leaf. Several others were dumbfounded.
"Third brother, no wonder people say that if you follow you into the mountains, you will meet big guys. It seems to be true." Huang Shengli and others said with emotion.
Last year, the news about the big goods coming out of the big house has spread all over the country.
Even if you didn't know it was Xu Shiyan before, everyone has heard about Xu Shiyan since he moved to Donggang.
Some people believe it, and some people scorn it.
Huang Shengli and others, who have spent a lot of time with Xu Shiyan, all think the rumors are reliable. Isn't this confirmed today?
"No, it has nothing to do with me this time. It's all Qingguo, and we are all taking advantage of Qingguo."
Xu Shiyan smiled and pointed at Zhou Qingguo. When everyone heard this, they all laughed too.
"In this case, Shengli will lead Xiaofeng and Chaozi, and you go back and move the things in our shack.
Lifting ginseng here cannot be completed in a day and a half, so we have to stay overnight nearby."
They had been out since six o'clock in the morning and walked until after ten o'clock. Even if they walked slowly over the mountains, they still had to walk more than ten miles from the shack.
It was so far away that it was impossible to run back and forth, so they had to stay nearby and wait for the few seedlings to be carried out. Then they would go straight down the mountain.
"Hey, I got it, brother Xu, don't worry, we'll go back right away."
Now, Xu Shiyan does whatever he says, and everyone listens to him.
So, according to Xu Shiyan's instructions, Huang Shengli and Sun Xiaofeng went to move the things in the fortress and set up another fortress here.
Zhou Qingguo built a fire upwind of the six-pin leaf to drive away mosquitoes, while Xu Shiyan used a deer bone stick to push away the soil bit by bit and began to lift the ginseng.
This six-grade leaf tree looked quite big. Xu Shiyan did not dare to be careless and carefully pulled the soil out.
I'm afraid that if my hand shakes, the skin of the mallet will be scratched and the air will escape, it will be worthless.
Huang Shengli and others quickly moved everyone's things over, first set up the stove to cook, and in the afternoon they chose a place to set up the tent again.
While others were busy, Xu Shiyan was responsible for carrying the ginseng, while Zhou Qingguo stood nearby with a gun on guard, fearing that some wild beast would come and hurt people.
The six-pin leaves of the seedling were so big that they couldn't be lifted out in a day, so everyone rested nearby at night.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xu Shiyan slept until midnight and felt that he smelled the smell of urine again.
Fortunately, there are no wild animals at night, so everyone can feel more at ease. Have a good rest at night and get up at dawn to lift the ginseng.
Three days later, four ginseng seedlings were carried out. Among them, the sixth-grade ginseng seedling weighed about four taels and was very beautiful in shape.
The fifth-grade leaves of the seedlings are also growing well, and they must be three and a half.
The two seedlings with four leaves are smaller and weigh less than two liang. One of them is a little different in shape and probably won't fetch much money.
As for the Erjiazi tree, it is a small tree, it is estimated to only cost about half a tael. It has been carried out, so I can't reject it, so I packed the ginseng bag and took it away.
The five people packed up their things, took advantage of dawn to find the place where the bicycles were locked, and then rode back all the way.
"Brother Xu, why do I feel like I'm in a dream?
It takes a lot of effort for others to go to the mountains, and they may not be able to encounter them.
Why do we go into the mountains, as if the ginseng is grown by us at home, and when we go into the mountains, we meet big sellers, and then we go down the mountain after taking it?"
They were all riding down the mountain. Feng Chao and the others had not yet calmed down. They couldn't believe it. They got the big goods so easily.
"Didn't I tell you everything? This time we are taking advantage of Qingguo.
Qingguo is very lucky and blessed, so we are particularly lucky this time."
Xu Shiyan insisted on this statement, and this time it must be Zhou Qingguo's credit.
