Zhou Qingxian and the other little guys leaned on their father's arms, raised their heads and suggested.
The little goldfish also stared directly at her big brother, her eyes full of expectation.
Going to the Northeast to dig for medicinal materials means you can make a lot of money.
Although the summer vacation is about to end, she has made no progress at all in the past month or so.
On the contrary, except for the time spent traveling around the mountains and rivers, she spent most of the rest of her time studying Chinese medicine.
Although she didn't spend any money, she also had no income, so in her opinion, this summer vacation was in vain.
Before Zhou Jimin could speak, Ding Qiunan, who had just arrived home, suddenly interrupted:
"If you want to dig for medicinal materials, you must take me with you..."
"No!"
Her words were quickly opposed by Little Goldfish and the others, and they were strongly opposed.
You know, although Ding Qiunan's belly has not grown yet, it has already grown slightly.
What's more, taking her to dig up medicinal materials doesn't sound reliable.
This makes Ding Qiunan very angry. Why?
"Sister-in-law, you have the nerve to ask why?" the little goldfish complained quickly:
"This summer vacation is almost over, please let us children who are still studying enjoy the beauty of summer vacation..."
"Sister-in-law, you should stay at home and take good care of your baby. Give us a fun and cute niece..."
Xiao Bu Dian and the other children also nodded again and again, indicating that this time they were going to dig up medicinal materials, and Mom should not go there.
They also talked about how difficult and laborious it was to dig out medicinal materials, and tried to persuade their mother to stop.
How could Ding Qiunan be persuaded to quit?
Even though he was arguing with the little guys, Zhou Jimin didn't say anything and just listened to their bickering, which he found quite interesting.
After arguing for most of the day, no one of them could convince anyone.
Originally, Ding Qiunan wanted to use the authority of her mother and sister-in-law to suppress any dissent, but Little Goldfish and the others used her pregnancy as an excuse, and they were evenly matched.
Therefore, the problem was still thrown to Zhou Jimin, a melon-eater.
"The palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh. It's not good to side with anyone. You can continue the discussion. No matter what the outcome is, I support it."
He didn't say that he was going to the Northwest to deliver the pressurized water reactor in two days. Anyway, it was very simple to deliver it, and it only took half an evening.
"No, you have to say it, otherwise you won't get into my bed tonight."
Ding Qiunan was very dissatisfied with his and Xini's attitude and threatened.
"Dad, if mom doesn't let you go to bed, you can come to our room."
Xiaoyi smiled and spoke, and Xiaoxian and the others quickly said that this was good, and even took their father with them to allocate seats.
This made Ding Qiunan very angry, "You guys named Zhou are going to work together to bully me, right?"
"Okay, okay, there's no need to be serious with your child. You can go along if you want. Can we go together next year?"
Zhou Jimin had no choice but to speak.
Otherwise, Ding Qiunan would really be angry.
"Why does it have to be next year?"
"Okay, okay, let's do it this year, okay?"
"Humph, couldn't it have been fine if I had said that earlier?" Ding Qiunan rolled his eyes and said with some unfinished meaning:
"Waste of my saliva..."
When she returned to the room, Zhou Qingxian and the others stared at their father with disdain and complained:
"Dad, you are really not firm in your stance. You always turn toward your mother, huh!"
"What's the point of not being firm? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Okay, let's wash our hands and eat."
The farce was over and everyone went back to the living room to eat.
In the blink of an eye, the next day, the family arrived at the Golden Bookstore and took off from here to Xiaoxinganling.
Different from last year, this time we landed directly on the wilderness high-altitude basin of Xiaoxinan Mountains.
The noise caused by the plane scared away the nearby beasts.
Many silly roe deer are still looking up, looking silly and cute.
"Dad, the plane is parked here, will everything be okay?"
After everyone got off the plane, the little boy asked a question. Seeing his curiosity and frown, he was worried about his father's plane safety.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Zhou Jimin touched the little one’s head and said gently.
After a while, he will release the big black tigers and eagles in the space. With them guarding them, nothing will happen to them.
The scenery of Xiaoxinganling is very good.
After Ding Qiunan got off the plane, his whole state was very different.
"Fortunately, I insisted on coming here, otherwise I would have missed these beautiful scenery..."
As she said that, she glared at Xiaoxian and the other little guys.
The children ran away chattering without saying anything.
"Okay, don't talk about them, I'll teach you how to hunt..."
Zhou Jimin, who was protecting the calf, felt helpless when he saw this, so he had to divert her attention.
"I'm not a child, I don't need you to hold me, I'm too worried..."
She shook off Zhou Jimin's hand and walked forward by herself.
"..."
We are already an old married couple, why are you so shy?
Although she didn't cooperate, Zhou Jimin still tried his best to follow her and protect her.
There is no way, who allowed her to have a child in her belly.
After all, this is deep in the mountains, with rugged mountain roads. It’s easy to fall if you’re not careful.
Fortunately, Ding Qiunan also pays attention to propriety, does not walk very fast, and always pays attention to his steps.
The third and fourth sons followed Xiaoxian and the others who were having fun. While watching them, they also paid attention to their surroundings, looking for valuable herbs.
At this moment, the little goldfish can't wait to turn his eyes into radars and sky eyes to scan the dense forest areas in front of him.
Her purpose here is very clear, which is to find valuable medicinal materials.
For example, century-old ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, etc., these are medicinal materials that can be sold at good prices.
"Third brother and fourth brother, Xiaoxian, please help me look for the photos you have. Just compare them..."
While walking, the little goldfish did not forget to ask others to help.
This made Zhou Jimin, who was following behind, dumbfounded. This sister was so fascinated.
"Sister-in-law, I found ginseng..."
Suddenly, Zhou Xiaobai's words attracted everyone's attention.
The little goldfish even took three steps and two steps at a time, and soon came to the little guy.
"Wow, it's a sixth-grade leaf. Brother, this should be a century-old ginseng. Third brother and fourth brother, please help..."
After seeing the ginseng leaves, the little goldfish immediately exclaimed.
The six palm-shaped compound leaves of ginseng are particularly eye-catching.
However, most people may ignore this ginseng tree because there are many weeds and a few messy ginseng trees next to it.
When Ding Qiunan heard this, he quickly stepped forward curiously.
As a result, I accidentally slipped and fell.
Her butt came into close contact with the stone, and the pain made her grin.
Zhou Jimin kept his eyes on her, but he didn't catch her immediately.
Just because she ran too fast and suddenly.
"Are you okay?"
He hurriedly stepped forward, helped her up, and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, my butt just hurts."
It really hurts, and tears came out.
Zhou Jimin was angry and distressed, but he didn't scold her.
Things have happened, and it is true that we should relieve her pain as soon as possible.
"Here, let me apply some medicine..."
"No, it's so embarrassing...the children are watching..."
"Go over there, I'll set up a tent and I'll be there soon."
It won’t work without applying medicine!
Fortunately, everyone stopped and circled the century-old ginseng tree.
As for whether they could dig up ginseng or not, Zhou Jimin didn't care at all whether it was a century-old ginseng.
Not long after, he set up a tent nearby and applied medicine to Ding Qiunan.
"Jimin, I've always been curious, how come the medicine you prepared is so effective? How many precious medicinal materials were used?"
"Don't ask about social matters. If you have any use, just use it."
The existence of space has always been a secret, and of course Zhou Jimin will not tell it.
Just like the Health Bureau has always wanted to prepare real tiger bone wine, it is still researching it.
Medical auxiliary equipment is expensive and scarce. Doctors from the Health Bureau have been studying it for several years, but they have yet to find the probiotics in tiger bone wine.
Even if they are found, it will be useless. How to manufacture those probiotics and how much they cost is a new question.
"Cheapskate!"
Ding Qiunan snorted cutely and turned away, unwilling to talk to him.
"Okay, are you still lying down? Aren't you afraid that the children will see you now?"
After gently patting her butt, Zhou Jimin chuckled, but she rolled her eyes.
When the two returned to the place where they dug ginseng, the third and fourth elders took turns and dug out a depth of about ten centimeters.
The reason why they are so slow is because they are very careful for fear of breaking the skin of the ginseng.
If the appearance is not good-looking, the value will be greatly reduced.
They were very careful and gentle when removing the soil, not to mention other movements.
Xiaoxian and the others were all watching anxiously. They wanted to help, but they were held down by the little goldfish.
Digging ginseng is no small matter.
It’s not easy to come across a century-old ginseng tree. You must dig it carefully and don’t let it go to waste.
"Sister-in-law, how much can I sell this ginseng tree for? How much can I get?"
The onlookers, Zhou Xiaobai, had big eyes filled with longing.
The little goldfish suddenly froze, right, how should we divide it?
At this time, she saw her elder brother and said quickly:
"Brother, brother, sister-in-law, are you okay? Come and help us dig ginseng..."
"It's okay, third child, let me do it."
The children gathered around this time, chirping and caring about their mother.
Judging from the leaves, Zhou Jimin could conclude that the ginseng in front of him must be a century-old ginseng.
As for ginseng that is hundreds of years old, it depends on its root system.
Not long after, Zhou Jimin had dug down its main root. With just one glance, he basically judged that it should be a ginseng that was about 150 years old.
"Ah, it's just a 150-year-old ginseng? Brother, this is definitely not valuable..."
When the little goldfish heard this, he was immediately disappointed.
In her eyes, ginseng is equivalent to money and valuables such as houses.
The 150-year-old ginseng costs only one or two hundred yuan, and even if someone wants it urgently, it will definitely not cost more than three hundred yuan at most.
Not to mention, this ginseng was discovered by Zhou Xiaobai, so she got the most money.
Xiaoxian and the others don't know much, but they are easily satisfied.
After all, their desire for a small treasury is not as great as that of their sister-in-law.
"It would be nice to have ginseng of this vintage. How many more vintages do you want? Thousand-year ginseng?" Zhou Jimin turned around and scolded him angrily.
"Brother, can you take us to find Millennium Ginseng?" Upon hearing this, the little goldfish suddenly stopped feeling depressed.
Yes, the thousand-year-old ginseng with seven-grade compound leaves is the best among ginseng.
If such a ginseng plant could really be found, it would definitely be worth a lot of money, and it could even be considered a national treasure, right?
"I see you are thinking about eating peaches. One hundred-year-old ginseng is already rare, but you still want one thousand-year-old ginseng?"
The ginseng tree he encountered before, compared to the mountains and rivers in the entire mainland, there should be no ginseng of this age.
In Xiaoxing'anling, which is rich in ginseng, it is rare to find ginseng that is a century old, let alone a thousand years old.
"Dad, do you think there's anything wrong with eating peaches?" Xiaoyi didn't understand and asked curiously.
The little ones also had their eyes widened, and even Ding Qiunan didn't understand.
"The word for peach is peach. As for the pronunciation, well, you can read the two sentences peach and you are thinking together..."
"Dad, I understand, you are thinking about peach, right?"
Snap!
Zhou Jimin slapped the two bowls of porridge on the head, "Speak carefully, why do you want dad to peach? Come on, stop talking, dad is going to dig ginseng."
Next, he dug ginseng much faster.
The little goldfish watching looked down on this 150-year-old ginseng, but she was also worried that her elder brother would hurt the ginseng.
Especially when he was traveling at such a fast speed, his little heart kept beating.
Not long after, at Zhou Jimin's quick speed, the ginseng was dug out.
Very beautiful ginseng, the roots are perfectly preserved and not damaged.
After packing it carefully, Zhou Jimin put the ginseng directly into the backpack.
"Okay, today's good start is over. Let's move on. I hope we will be luckier this time than last year..."
At the same time, he also told everyone to watch the road when walking and not to fall again.
We didn’t go far, and it was noon soon.
In addition to digging up the ginseng just now, I also found a few Ganoderma lucidum and other common medicinal materials.
Needless to say, Xiaoxinganling is still very rich in materials, but most of them are medicinal materials of average value.
Of course, if it were left to future generations, the many fungus, fungus and other fungi that Zhou Jimin and the others saw just now could easily be sold for hundreds or even thousands of yuan if picked.
However, in this era, these gadgets are really not worth much money.
Even if you take it to the grocery store in Beijing, you can probably sell it for one yuan, which is pretty good.
"Little goldfish, don't run away. You're still looking at it. Let's rest for a while and then look for it after lunch."
Stopping the little goldfish who was still busy looking for medicinal materials, Zhou Jimin ordered everyone to prepare lunch.
The five children are very active in helping with the cooking. The three older children can help collect firewood and make a fire for cooking, and the two younger ones can help with two bowls of porridge, washing rice and other small tasks within their capabilities.
Not to mention, during this summer vacation, they did not play all the time, but also learned more cooking skills.
However, it is still a bit difficult for them to let them cook.
The dishes for lunch, in addition to mushrooms, also include hunted pheasants.
In Xiaoxing'anling, as long as you have some outdoor skills, you won't starve to death.
On the other hand, Zhou Jimin and his family ate very well.
"Oh, Xiaojing and Xiaowan don't know if they will miss us..."
While eating the delicious food, Ding Qiunan suddenly exclaimed.
The two little guys were too young, so I asked Mrs. Yang to help take care of the baby.
Huang Zhaodi and Zhou Shuqing are also at home, so they are not afraid of starving the children.
"Have a good meal. You're worried about this when you're already out. Why did you go there so early?"
Ding Qiunan glared at Zhou Jimin, "Those are my children. Am I worried that they can't do it?"
"Okay, okay, you should worry about them." Zhou Jimin pointed to the two bowls of porridge.
At this time, the little guy didn't use his kuaizi well. A piece of fragrant chicken fell to the ground. When he flattened his mouth, he was about to cry.
"Don't cry. Pick it up and drink it with water. You can still eat it..."
Being scolded by his mother, the two bowls of porridge trembled, and the tears were forced back.
I reluctantly picked up the piece of meat, then went to the wooden bucket next to me, spooned some water, washed it, and put it in my mouth.
"Mom, it has no taste, it doesn't taste good."
Pfft!
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. His fourth uncle said he was really stupid. He put the washed meat into a bowl and mixed it with other meat. Wouldn't it taste better?
The next moment, the little guy really wanted to do this. The fourth child was startled and hurried to stop him.
"Hey you, I didn't ask you to put it in the pot. If the meat you have eaten is mixed, who would still dare to eat it?"
"Why?" Two Bowls of Porridge opened their eyes wide, their faces full of innocence and curiosity.
This question made the fourth child speechless. Zhou Qingxian said with a smile, "Uncle Fourth, you are so stupid. He is still so young, how can he understand this?"
After the farce, everyone rested for a while, and then continued their journey of digging for medicinal materials.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. That night, after everyone fell asleep in the tent, Zhou Jimin quietly walked out of the tent.
Riding a tiger, he galloped towards the place where the plane had previously been parked.
In fact, there are other planes in the space, but if they are too close to the tent, the sound of the plane's engine will easily wake up Ding Qiunan and the others.
When he arrived near the place where the plane had been parked, he was surprised to find that there were many Siberian tigers, leopards, black bears and other ferocious beasts nearby.
"What's going on?"
The roars of ferocious beasts kept coming, and no herbivorous animals dared to approach.
Even Silly Spore can't be seen. You can imagine how many ferocious beasts are gathered nearby.
From a distance, Zhou Jimin saw the big black tiger, and several Siberian tigers that were several sizes smaller in size.
After seeing it clearly, he was stunned. This bastard couldn't have found several girlfriends by himself, right?
Those heads with golden gradients are obviously female tigers, not male tigers.
Because the male tiger is patrolling the perimeter.
"What a wonderful cat!"
He whistled, and the Siberian tigers, leopards, etc. all rioted, but the roar of the big black tiger was louder, instantly drowning out the sounds of other ferocious beasts.
