Lin Hao and others continued to collect dendrobium. Although the dendrobium behind the plantation wall had not been collected yet, Zuo Li took them to move their position because he said there was more dendrobium in another place!
After about ten minutes of walking, the three of them arrived at the place Zuo Li had mentioned. However, they did not see the dendrobium, they only saw a sharp cliff in front of them.
There is water flowing down from the top of the cliff and hanging vertically on the rock wall, forming a waterfall, as if the cliff is covered with a layer of silver gauze.
Below the waterfall is a bottomless natural stream pool. In front of the stream pool is another cliff. The overflowing pool water flows down, forming another waterfall and another stream pool below. This repeats three different sizes.
After the stairs, a stream forms at the bottom, flowing to the sea under Yushan.
This landscape is undoubtedly wonderful, making people feel like they are in a beautiful fairyland.
Of course, this place is also dangerous, because if someone accidentally falls under his feet, he will be doomed and his body will not be found.
After Aunt Zhao looked up and down for a while, she found some miscanthus, thorns, shrubs, and even wild fruits, but there was no valuable dendrobium. She couldn't help but ask: "Zuo Li, where is the dendrobium you mentioned?"
Zuo Li pointed downwards and said, "Did you see that creek pool? Dendrobium grows on the rock wall behind the waterfall. There are a lot of them!"
Aunt Zhao took a closer look and found that the stream pool was about thirty meters below, and it was almost surrounded by smooth rock walls. It was extremely difficult to get down to the stream pool, let alone getting behind the waterfall.
"Zuo Li!" Wu Ruolan frowned and asked, "How do we get down?"
"Follow me!" Zuo Li responded, then took the lead and walked along the side of the rock wall. At the same time, he said: "Just follow me, don't look down!"
The road Zuo Li was walking was a mountain road that went around the rock wall. It was only about sixty or seventy centimeters wide. There was a mountain on the inside and an abyss on the outside. There was no protection at all. If his feet slipped and rolled outward, he would be in danger.
It may fall to pieces with no bones left.
For safety reasons, Lin Hao stopped Zuo Li, cut two wooden sticks for Wu Ruolan and Zhao Aunt to use as crutches, and tied the two ropes he brought to their waists as safety belts. Wu Ruolan held this part himself.
Now, leave the part about Zhao Aunt to Zuo Li!
After getting ready, they continued to go down the mountain wall. After walking this section of the road without any danger, the four of them finally arrived outside the stream pool. However, they were surrounded by bushes covered with thorns and could not enter the stream at all.
Go inside the pond.
Aunt Zhao complained bitterly: "Zuo Li, what the hell are you doing? There is no road at all!"
Zuo Li grinned mysteriously, it was too ugly to look at. However, he also knew that his smile was arrogant, so he only smiled once and quickly stopped it. He said sternly: "For others, it's really a thousand miles to go in."
It is extremely difficult, but for me, it is easier than borrowing fire!"
Lin Hao asked: "Zuo Li, are you asking us to go into the water and swim upstream?"
"Of course not!" Zuo Li shook his head, then reached out and patted the wolfdog beside him, "Zhiyong, lead the way!"
Zhiyong barked lightly and immediately took the lead and walked forward.
Lin Hao and others stopped asking and followed behind the wolf dog.
It's amazing to say that there is no way through the bushes covered with thorns. After entering, it feels even more dark. All around are miscanthus thorns that are taller than a person's head. It is impossible to tell the difference between east, west and north. However, I follow Zhiyong and go around in circles.
After a while, when they came out again, several people had already passed through the bushes and arrived at the edge of the stream!
When they arrived at the edge of the pool, Wu Ruolan and Aunt Zhao both exhaled in unison. Just now, they really thought they were going to be trapped in the boundless bushes.
After Lin Hao washed his face with a handful of cool pool water, he asked Zuo Li next to him, "How did you find out that this road can be crossed?"
"I didn't find it!" Zuo Li shook his head, pointed at the wolf dog and said, "Zhiyong found it!"
Lin Hao was very curious, "Huh?"
Zuo Li pointed to the bottomless stream pool again, "In spring and autumn, there are many trout in the sea that will swim upstream and arrive in these pools to lay eggs. In order to hunt fish for food, Zhiyong forced himself to find them.
After finding a road, I followed it to find it, and then I found that these ponds are very rich in fish species. In addition to trout, there are also sweet fish, eels, catfish, rough skins, sea bream, triggers, and even
Grouper, so I often fish and fish here!”
When Aunt Zhao heard what he said, she immediately laughed, "So the fish you usually serve me in the restaurant is made here!"
"That's right!" Zuo Li responded: "It was when I was fishing that I discovered dendrobium growing here!"
"That's right, we're not here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, we're here to collect dendrobium!" Aunt Zhao asked hurriedly: "Where is the dendrobium?"
"If you want to get to the back of the creek, follow me!" Zuo Li said, walking back along the stone beach beside the pool, and reminded at the same time: "Be careful of slippery feet!"
After following him for more than half a circle around the creek, we finally reached the back of the waterfall, which is the bottom of the cliff!
After arriving behind the waterfall, Lin Hao and others discovered that there was actually a huge space hidden here. It was surrounded by an extremely empty huge cave, which was connected to another mountain. There was light refracted from behind the cave, and the mountains above could be seen.
You can also go out from the back!
But Zuo Li said that if he went out from the back, it would be the other side of Yushan, and he would have to go around for an hour to get back to the plantation, so he chose this shortcut, which only took about ten minutes!
There are stones everywhere in the cave, and there are some wild grasses growing around the stones. In addition to some unnamed grasses, most of them are dendrobium!
They are densely packed and layered with countless layers. Their quantity and quality are so great that even a well-informed person like Lin Hao can only be amazed!
There are so many dendrobiums spread like carpets in the cave. There is no need to climb at all. You can collect them by sitting there comfortably. If you are lazy, you can also collect them lying down.
"Wow!" Aunt Zhao couldn't help but scream excitedly when she saw so many dendrobiums, "It's coming, it's coming, it's really coming this time!"
Although Wu Ruolan was more reserved, she was so happy that she even shook Lin Hao's hand slightly!
Although Lin Hao, who was used to seeing big scenes, was a little happy, he was not too excited. He was more emotional about such a hidden place. If it weren't for Zuo Li and his wolf dog to lead the way, who would have found this place? Who would have found it?
How could you know that there are so many treasures growing here!
After a few people were excited for a while, Lin Hao waved his hand and said: "Let's get started!"
The four of them took out their scissors and started collecting dendrobium!
Soon, the four dustpans brought by the four people were full. Zuo Li was responsible for carrying the fresh dendrobium back to the plantation, where Lin Hao and others continued to collect.
Busy work, starting from about one o'clock to about five o'clock. Seeing that the sun is setting, Zuo Li has already picked up fifteen loads of fresh dendrobium. The dendrobium in the big cave has been basically collected, and the rest grows on the rock wall.
, you have to use a ladder or rope to go up to collect it, which is difficult and lack of preparation, so everyone can only give up!
After returning to the plantation, Zuo Li used a large scale to weigh himself again. He found that in just one afternoon, they had collected 920 kilograms of fresh dendrobium. Adding the 343 kilograms in the morning, there were 1,200 kilograms of fresh dendrobium.
One hundred and sixty-three pounds.
Aunt Zhao was a little tired at first, but after doing some calculations, she found that this batch of fresh dendrobium was already worth less than 4 million RMB. She became excited again and asked Lin Hao: "Lin Hao, what do you want to eat at night?"
I’ll do it for you!”
Wu Ruolan answered: "Besides what we have for lunch, there shouldn't be anything else delicious, right?"
"Why not!" Aunt Zhao said with a smile: "There are a lot of delicious things here in Zuo Li! But it's just too far, otherwise I would definitely come here every day to eat!"
Wu Ruolan said doubtfully: "Oh!"
"Zuo Li, why are you standing there dazed!" Aunt Zhao gave Zuo Li a nudge, "Take them to visit your vegetable garden, so that these old haters from the provincial capital can learn a lot!"
Vegetable garden? Isn’t it the one at the entrance?
It’s easy to see at a glance. Apart from the melons and fruits, what else is there to visit?
Lin Hao and Wu Ruolan looked at each other, feeling inexplicably strange in their hearts!
Zuo Li agreed and led them outside. When they reached the middle of the wooden shelf, he folded in and walked to the edge of the stone wall.
When he moved a pile of weeds beside the wall, Lin Hao and others discovered that there was a thick wooden door hidden here!
Open the wooden door and go in. There is a cave inside.
This is undoubtedly Zuoli's real vegetable garden. Of course it can also be said to be a breeding garden. It is surrounded by wooden fence and has a triangular shape of more than 200 square meters.
Half of it has a roof and the other half is open air!
There is a pond in this half of the open air, but the water in the pond is not dirty, but crystal clear. After a closer look, I found that the water is flowing. The top is a mountain spring seeping out of the rock wall. After being introduced into the pond, it flows out and flows into the planting.
A canal in the garden is used for irrigating the fields.
There are many fish in the small pond, all of which are fish that cannot be seen in Yangcheng. In addition to the rare fish species Zuo Li mentioned before, there are also even rarer pomfret, horsemouth, etc.
Zuo Li saw Lin Hao and Wu Ruolan looking at the fish underwater curiously, so he explained: "I basically catch the fish here from the wild. Every time I catch a fish, I try to keep it alive and then put it in
"Some can survive, some can't!" Zuo Li said: "Those who can survive not only live very well, but can even reproduce. I have raised so many after saving them, and the pond seems too small. I am going to have some
When it’s empty, expand it some more!”
Aunt Zhao smiled and said: "The fish he sells here is hard to buy even if you have money. It is precisely because of his exclusive supply that I have a signature Taiwanese fish pot, which has attracted a lot of repeat customers!"
Lin Hao said: "Then why haven't you done it for us?"
Aunt Zhao spread her hands and said: "The signature fish pot needs to be reserved three days in advance. After making the reservation, I have to ask Zuo Li to deliver it to me. Do you think you can eat it casually?"
Lin Hao was speechless. It was so troublesome to eat a fish, so he would rather not eat it.
After looking at the pond, a few people walked inside and saw rows of poultry houses inside, with chickens, ducks, geese, white pigeons, and even two unknown birds.
, what’s even more surprising is that Zuo Li also raised a dozen bamboo rats that were bigger than rabbits!
Next to the poultry house, there is also a sheep pen and a pig pen, each holding nine sheep and two alpine dwarf pigs!
It is not difficult to see from these captive poultry that Zuo Li is definitely a hard-working man. If a woman marries him, she will never be hungry!
In order to entertain Lin Hao, Zuo Li caught a three-yellow chicken, a big white goose, and two big fat fish. He originally wanted to kill a sheep and roast the whole sheep in the evening, but Wu Ruolan saw those "bleating"
Lin Hao’s sheep were so cute that he couldn’t bear to hurt them, so he tried to dissuade Lin Hao by saying that he didn’t like eating mutton because he couldn’t stand the smell of sheep!
Although Lin Hao didn't say anything, he felt extremely aggrieved. I like roast mutton the most, okay?
