Every time the group encountered a dead tree on their way up the mountain, Cheng Xue would go over and search carefully.
Plants such as Chaga, Ganoderma, and Fungus all grow on dead trees.
Collect the fungus and dry it at home, so you can eat it in winter. Chaga and Ganoderma lucidum are both medicinal materials. They can be sold to Dejitang for money and are very expensive.
As for the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that is often mentioned in online articles, she checked it out at the time and found that it was just beautiful nonsense.
Ganoderma lucidum is an annual medicinal material. If you pick it this year, you can pick it again next year. But if you don’t pick it, it will dry up after the snow falls. Medical books record that there are many types of ganoderma. In Liaodong, horseshoe ganoderma and white ganoderma are the main ones. Occasionally, you can encounter it.
To Red Ganoderma lucidum.
The price of this thing is very high, higher than the previous two.
After searching for a long time, I picked a small basket of fungus, half a basket of hazelnuts, chaga mushrooms, white Ganoderma lucidum, etc., but they were nowhere to be seen. Even the pine cones were not seen, but there were quite a few red pine trees. But the pine cones were all tall.
Hanging high on the top of the tree, it even dangles down.
Li Hui had nothing to do and guided Li Heng to climb the tree. After this period of training, the little guy's physical strength completely surpassed that of children of the same age.
Exercise your lower arm strength and leg strength so that you can learn to fight in the future. You must know some self-defense skills. Forget about martial arts. You can’t find a serious master.
Yan Yixin also wanted to learn, but was forcefully rejected by Cheng Xue.
If my child knocks, it’s okay, but if he falls, the county can’t explain it. There are so many pairs of eyes in the village looking at it, and it can’t be justified.
Seeing that the child looked disappointed, I wanted to say something to comfort him.
Xiao Qinglin over there came over, patted the child on the shoulder, and said:
"Please be considerate of your aunt. No one will criticize Tiedan for throwing a child, because it is her and your Uncle Li's child. But if something happens to you and me, they both cannot afford to suffer."
In fact, he also wants to climb a tree. After all, he has never done it since he was a child. However, he is an adult and knows that he shoulders the responsibility of joint defense and must not let anything happen.
A few simple words instantly enlightened Yan Yixin. He kept nodding and looking at Li Heng who was climbing the tree.
Cheng Xue was relieved when she saw this, picked up the basket on her back and searched nearby.
Nowadays, she no longer looks forward to the aura of a "time-traveler". The saying that you must hunt for treasures when you go into the mountains, and make money when you go to the market are all fake. Only relying on your own hands is true.
After walking seven or eight meters inside, I finally saw a pine cone that had fallen to the ground. I wrapped my hands with the corners of the cloth I brought and picked them one by one into the basket.
There is a little bit of pine oil on the surface of the pine cone, and it takes several days to wash it off.
This time I went into the mountains, except for harvesting fungus, hazelnuts, and pine cones, there were no valuable medicinal materials. However, Cheng Xue was still very confident that she might encounter them next time she came.
When preparing to go down the mountain, Cheng Xue looked at the bluestone coat in the distance and looked familiar.
Li Hui took two steps and saw that she hadn't moved, so he came over and asked in a low voice:
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Xue did not answer, but pointed in the distance. Li Hui looked at it for a moment, frowned, and dragged her directly down the mountain.
If you read it correctly, that person is Li Xiang, what are you doing over there?
"Did you see who it was?"
Li Hui said the name of the person with a "hmm", and the next second he hugged the person who was about to pass and whispered:
"Don't go, lest you disturb the enemy."
Anyone who knows Li Xiang knows that he never goes into the mountains because of his timidity, but now it seems that this is simply a cover-up.
"Brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Xiao Qinglin's voice came, and Li Hui quickly turned his head and looked over. The man in bluestone clothes was still there. It was unclear whether he heard it or not.
"I didn't do anything, just come here, your sister-in-law's basket fell over."
Li Hui made up an excuse at random and followed Cheng Xue by the sleeve. The man who was far away from them slowly walked down the mountain from another place after they left...
……
After Cheng Xue returned home, she first dried the fungus and hazelnuts in the yard, and took the pine cones directly into the house and threw them in the stove to burn.
Less than five minutes after throwing it in, Li Heng came over and asked:
"Mom, are you okay?"
Cheng Xue smiled and patted his forehead, saying:
"Why are you so anxious? I just threw it in. Where is your father?"
"I'm studying knowledge in the study with Uncle Xiao." Li Heng replied, "Mom, something's not right with me. He was lying on the kang of the house when he came back. He just said 'um, ah' to everything I asked, and he wasn't very interested."
Yo, what's going on?
Li Yue, who was fishing for sauerkraut on the side, warned:
"Tiedan, don't bother Brother Yixin these two days. Uncle Yan's family property has been sold off, and he feels bad."
"How did Tangtang know?" Cheng Xue was surprised.
On weekdays, the two of them talk about things and never interact with each other when nothing happens. This... what is going on?
"I saw him when I went to the backyard to feed the chickens. I asked him a few questions when I saw something was wrong. Mom, the sauerkraut is ready. Do you want noodles with sauerkraut and minced meat for dinner? Uncle Xiao's regular attendant brought a piece of pork belly." p>
"Let's eat dumplings, pickled cabbage and pork, fragrant and iron eggs, look at the pine cone, take it out and peel the seeds."
"I know, mother."
Cheng Xue hurried to the next door but did not enter the house. Instead, she lit the stove in the outer room, filled the big pot with water, and then opened the door.
Yan Yixin saw the person sitting up and asked directly:
"Auntie, do you think my father will blame me?"
He deliberately told Li Yue because he wanted to talk to Cheng Xue. He felt that this aunt was different from other village women and had her own unique insights and cultivation.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, he hurriedly explained:
"Auntie, I'm not regretful, I'm just... a little confused. I don't know if it's right to be Si Wei. After all, it was my father's hard work that he saved for many years. My father said he wanted to change my household registration, but he put it aside later. I...
…”
"Then do you regret doing this?"
Faced with the sudden question, Yan Yixin shook his head without even thinking about it.
"I'm not afraid of my aunt's jokes. The time I came to Wanghe Village was the most peaceful and practical life I have ever had. From the time I can remember, my dad has been constantly 'worried' and 'scared'."
"Afraid you'll get sick? Afraid you'll get hurt?"
"None of them." Yan Yixin shook his head, "My father is afraid that the business will fail and he will lose all his money, and then the household registration can only be a business registration."
Uh...
There's nothing wrong with that.
Anyone who does business is afraid of losing money, let alone Yan Dawei who has made it to this point on his own. If he had not been timid, he would have lost all his money long ago.
"If you don't regret it, don't think about it. I will take you to the temple in the fifteenth day and offer a lamp to your father, and you will talk about it yourself. Wait in the hundred days and let your uncle take you to the county to worship properly." The fifteenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar every year is the Shuiguan Disaster Day. This day is also called the Disaster Disaster Day. It is a good time to repent and escape.
Although she doesn't believe this, she does as the Romans do and takes care of her children for peace of mind.
Yan Yixin originally had this plan, but he had no money and was embarrassed to say it.
The child's thoughts could not be hidden from Cheng Xue, but she did not tell the truth. It is normal to be a little cautious, and as long as you are pure and kind, you can indulge.
Those who have no intentions at all are called fools, and she doesn’t want that. After all, if you have to take the imperial examination, Silly Baitian will become cannon fodder and a stepping stone!
