The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 608 Secret Ginseng

There are various jobs for living in the mountains, and the field of fangshan is the most talked about.

From the veteran Sun Liang to the present, the ginseng collectors in the mountains have a whole set of rules, big and small.

In addition to entering the mountain to sacrifice, you have to kowtow when you look at Lao Zhao, and you have to kowtow when you hold big goods.

Therefore, it is not a problem for Zhao Youcai to knock one more at this time, after all, it is not surprising that there are so many people.

"Dad." It's just that Zhao Jun couldn't stand it at this time. The two of them usually quarrel, but this is his own father after all. Zhao Youcai always kneels and gets up like this, which makes Zhao Jun feel very uncomfortable. .

Besides, there might be a lot of big goods hidden in this old place. If Zhao Youcai smashed his head like this, how can he go to work and meet people in two days?
But before Zhao Jun finished speaking, Zhao Youcai had already kowtowed three heads. Just now Zhao Jun was digging ginseng here, and the surrounding ground was covered with soil. Zhao Youcai knocked his head on the soil, so there was no movement this time.

After kowtowing, Zhao Youcai got up, raised his hand and snorted the dirt on his forehead and hair, then turned around and asked Zhao Jun, "Son, what's wrong?"

The corner of Zhao Jun's mouth twitched, and he said to Zhao Youcai, "Father, it's almost the same, you don't have to keep knocking..."

"Shut up!" Before Zhao Jun finished speaking, he was interrupted loudly by Zhao Youcai, who pointed at Zhao Jun and said angrily, "If you can't speak, then don't!"

Zhao Jun: "..."

Zhao Jun really stopped talking, walked up to Zhao Youcai with an antler key, and said angrily, "Get up! I'll carry the ginseng!"

"Hey!" This time Zhao Youcai agreed happily, and hurriedly dodged to let Zhao Jun out of the way.

Zhao Jun also knelt down, but he did it for the convenience of digging ginseng. He used the antler spoon to break the soil carefully to the side.

Zhao Youcai glanced at Zhao Jun reluctantly, turned around and ran up the post. The father and father had a clear division of labor, Zhao Jun was in charge of technical work, and Zhao Youcai was in charge of running errands and offering sacrifices.

Zhao Youcai went to pick up the moss, Zhao Jun started to lift the ginseng here, and the antler spoon kept digging and digging the soil, and a reed head of ginseng soon appeared in front of Zhao Jun.

The reed head of ginseng, to put it bluntly, is its rhizome, which is the part that grows in the soil.

Every spring, the rhizome arches and buds break through the soil, and the branches and leaves are stretched out.In autumn, the part on the ground falls off, leaving traces on the reed heads, which are called reed bowls.It is like the annual rings of trees, the more reed bowls, the longer the age of this ginseng seedling.

As for the part where the reed head is closest to the ginseng body, the reed bowl is generally not visible. This part is called round reed, which is unique to wild ginseng.

The reed bowl of the ginseng round reed cannot be seen. This is because the round reed close to the ginseng body is the earliest rhizome part, and the reed bowl on it gradually degenerates and disappears.

But on the round reed, there are tight circular ridges, and it is said that each ridge represents a year.

In addition to round reeds, common ginseng reeds, pile flower reeds and horse tooth reeds.

Heaped reeds are formed when ginseng grows upwards and its rhizomes are pressed by the soil when they are piled together.

The reed bowl on this reed head is clear, but not complete.For example, ginseng with only bunched reeds has a shorter growth period than ginseng with only round reeds.

The horse tooth reed, as the name suggests, is shaped like a horse tooth, and the reed bowl is relatively more regular.

Like the ginseng seedling that Zhao Jun just carried out, from top to bottom, horse tooth reed, pile flower reed, and round reed are all available. This kind of reed head is called three-section reed, which is not only the most standard reed head of wild ginseng, but also proves that Seedling ginseng has reached a certain age.

But the reed head of the ginseng seedling that appeared in front of Zhao Jun's eyes was actually forked, one on the left and one on the right, and the reed head was accompanied by 艼.

This is called rubbing reed, which is formed by people or beasts trampling on the ground and causing damage to the ginseng reed head under the soil, which has undergone secondary growth.

The quality of such ginseng was poor, but Zhao Jun did not dislike it, and carefully moved the soil, trying to ensure that every ginseng was intact.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Youcai came back with six or seven pieces of moss. He first went to the tree where the things were placed, picked up the gun and looked around.

Zhao Youcai was not defending against others, no matter how many big goods were hidden in this old house, if someone came over, Zhao Youcai would not be able to shoot.He is doing this, but he is guarding against wild animals.

Generally speaking, when digging ginseng, there are shouting and responding to the mountain, and from time to time, the rope will be pulled and the stick will be knocked on the tree.The main purpose of these is to frighten away the beasts.After all, when the man shouted at the top of his voice, the mountain animals walked away from a distance when they heard the sound.

But at this time, the ginseng he was holding could not tell which grades of leaves it was, and Zhao Jun was afraid of attracting others, so he omitted this step.

And without this link, Zhao Youcai had to take precautions, otherwise the father and father were busy, and it would be fucked if a black blind man suddenly appeared.

Seeing that there was no abnormality around, Zhao Youcai came to Zhao Jun with the moss again, watching Zhao Jun lift the stick from the soil.

Zhao Jun worked on this seedling club for more than 20 minutes before lifting it out of the soil.

He pinched the reed head with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and moved it to Zhao Youcai.

Zhao Youcai hurriedly took a piece of moss to pick up the ginseng seedling, but seeing Zhao Jun casually put the ginseng on the moss, Zhao Youcai asked, "Son, what is this stick?"

Zhao Youcai wanted to ask if this seedling ginseng was worthless, but such words could not be said in the process of releasing the mountain.

Zhao Jun understood what his father meant, and compared to Zhao Youcai, he had a lot less scruples, so he simply said, "It's only about three hundred yuan."

"Three hundred!" Zhao Youcai's eyes widened, and then he curled his lips and said, "This is crazy for you, what's the point of three hundred? Even those rascals can't spend this money to marry a daughter-in-law."

Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhao Jun chuckled and didn't say anything else.

And Zhao Youcai carefully made Qingmo roll up the ginseng, looked up at Zhao Jun and said, "Son, come on?"

"Heh!" Zhao Jun couldn't help sneering when he heard the words, looked at Zhao Youcai and asked, "Dad, won't you let me rest for a while?"

"Ah!" Zhao Youcai came to his senses, and quickly said, "Relax! Rest! Let's take a pier!"

Zhao Jun rolled his eyes at Zhao Youcai, got up and went under the big tree where the things were stored, took out the military water bottle from his shoulder pocket, unscrewed it and took a sip of water.

At this time, Zhao Youcai wrapped the two moss tubes with pine bark, tied them with a hemp rope, put them in his pocket, and leaned over to Zhao Jun, saying, "Son! Why don't you and I call out two?" voice, shouted all over the mountain, asking for a good omen."

"You can pull it down." Zhao Jun frowned, and said: "There are mushrooms on the left and right, let them listen, what are you going to do with a group of people?"

"That's right." Hearing this, Zhao Youcai nodded and stopped talking.Seeing this, Zhao Jun quickly added a sentence: "Okay, Dad, don't think about those things anymore, you have done what you should do, and the big pig has confessed, what's the matter?"

"Oh!" Zhao Youcai slapped his thigh suddenly, and said to Zhao Jun, "It's not bad, I still have a pig's head. We have to get it for him before we go back. Take it home, so Dad can make you a pig's head stew."

"Heh!" Zhao Jun just smiled, but didn't speak.

Zhao Youcai seemed to realize something, he chuckled at Zhao Jun, then took the water bottle from Zhao Jun, poured it into his mouth twice, without even wiping the water flowing from the corner of his mouth, Zhao Youcai only looked up at the green hills in the distance, his eyes It is full of hope and longing.

Seeing Zhao Youcai's expression, Zhao Jun's brows became embarrassing, and he knew without asking, what kind of beautiful things his father was flirting with.

These two Gudong can't be too idle!
Thinking of this, Zhao Jun pointed to the place close to the beam of the mound, and said to Zhao Youcai, "Dad, don't be foolish, you can look over there and see if there is a stick in the haystack. Just call me."

"Hey!" Zhao Youcai came back to his senses, agreed, twisted the lid of the kettle, threw the kettle into Zhao Jun's pocket, and then got up and ran towards the direction Zhao Jun pointed.

Zhao Jun was leaning against the big tree, blowing the wind, and was about to rest for a while. Over there, Zhao Youcai was groping around with his waist bent and buttocks pouted.

Suddenly, Zhao Youcai paused, bent his back but turned his head to Zhao Jun.I saw him sticking one hand in the grass and swaying towards Zhao Jun with the other.

The key is that Zhao Youcai still has a bright smile on his face.

Zhao Jun, who was resting under the tree with his shoulders in his arms, was startled, then sat up and looked at Zhao Youcai in surprise.

Zhao Youcai found the mallet in less than 2 minutes?If this is the case, then he is too lucky!

But seeing Zhao Youcai waving to him again and again, Zhao Jun didn't doubt him, got up from under the tree, and trotted towards Zhao Youcai.

"Son." Zhao Youcai nodded his chin from the grass, and said, "Take a look."

At this time Zhao Youcai didn't grab anything with his hand in the grass, but pushed aside a piece of yellow grass. Zhao Jun took a closer look and saw that there was a small section of grass, but it only grew in one blow.

Zhao Jun took a look at it and thought it looked like a ginseng pole, so he quickly squatted down and carefully identified it. The rest of the pole should be rotten, but after seeing it, Zhao Jun nodded heavily at Zhao Youcai.

Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up, and he knelt down immediately. Zhao Jun quickly pulled him up and said to him, "Dad, you can go to another place to look."

"Yeah." Zhao Youcai got up in response to persuasion, walked to the distance and continued to search, leaving Zhao Jun alone to carry the ginseng.

Zhao Jun still used the old method, first removing the surrounding weeds, and then breaking the soil with the antler spoon.The soil is mixed with half-rotted leaves, which is not only fertile, but also soft.

Zhao Jun quickly dug out the reed head. Seeing that there were round reeds and horse tooth reeds on the reed head, but there were no piles of flower reeds, Zhao Jun smashed his mouth and continued to dig down.

A reed head like this is called Erjie reed.Similarly, if there are round reeds and stacked reeds on the head of the reeds, but no horse-toothed reeds, they are also called Erjie reeds.

The ginseng of the two-section reed will not be too long, generally around 15 years, and will never exceed 20 years.

Such ginseng, if it has branches and leaves, is Erjiazi.

Seeing this, Zhao Jun quickly raised his head to look for Zhao Youcai. Seeing Zhao Youcai was about ten meters away, paddling in the grass with his butt up, he shouted at Zhao Youcai, "Dad!"

"Here we come!" Zhao Youcai rushed over when he heard the sound, and asked Zhao Jun, "Son, what's the matter?"

Zhao Jun raised his hand, held the antler key and swiped around, saying, "Dad, put this piece aside and look for it."

"Ah?" Zhao Youcai was taken aback, but seeing Zhao Jun pointing to the ginseng seedling, he explained to him: "The key to the mountain!"

"Ouch!" Zhao Youcai's face was full of joy when he heard this.

There are particulars in the industry of releasing mountains. Erjiazi cannot be called Erjiazi, but must be called the key to open the mountain.

Don't forget, when Zhao Youcai finished offering sacrifices to the God of the Mountain and the old man, he shouted "God of the Mountain! The old man! Open the door".

Why open the door?
Hold the mountain key to open the door!
Although this Erjiazi is small, when the small one is lifted out, it may not be as long as a human's thumb.It is not worth much to sell it down the mountain, but it is very particular in the mountain tour, there must be other clubs near Erjiazi, that is to say, only by holding the key to open the mountain can you make a fortune!
Yesterday and today, in two days, Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai brought out three seedlings of ginseng.The first two seedlings are one big and one heavy.

But at this moment, looking at the key to open the mountain, Zhao Youcai felt that his father and son were really going to make a fortune!

Thinking of this, Zhao Youcai bent his knees, knelt down on the ground again, and slapped his head three times at the ginseng seedling.

Looking at the fanatical Zhao Youcai, Zhao Jun didn't dare to stop him for fear of being beaten. After Zhao Youcai kowtowed his head, he raised his body, knelt there and muttered, "Thank you Mountain God! Thank you old man!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Youcai stood up, waved at Zhao Jun, and signaled Zhao Jun to continue carrying the ginseng.

And he followed Zhao Jun's instructions and searched within a radius of four or five meters.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Jun was carrying the ginseng here, and Zhao Youcai was three or four meters away, and he got something again.

You know, at this time, some ginseng stems exposed outside the soil have completely fallen off.At this time, so many ginsengs with sticks can be found, which shows that there must be a lot of ginseng in this old village!
Zhao Youcai turned around and wanted to greet Zhao Jun, but seeing that Zhao Jun was still carrying the ginseng, he didn't dare to disturb him.Fearing that Zhao Jun would be frightened when he shouted, he cut off the ginseng's beard with a trembling hand.

So, Zhao Youcai pulled the stick to the side of the Shenting, and then quietly came to Zhao Jun's side.

When Zhao Jun lifted the ginseng seedling out of the soil and looked up for Zhao Youcai, Zhao Youcai grabbed Zhao Jun's sleeve from the side.

Zhao Jun turned his head and saw Zhao Youcai. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhao Youcai pointing to that side. Zhao Jun followed Zhao Youcai's finger and saw Suo Youcai standing in the grass with a stick, and he couldn't help being startled.

"Dad!" Zhao Jun looked at Zhao Youcai and said in surprise, "You are ranked again, you are really blessed!"

In the mountain trip, there has always been a saying that only those who are blessed can see wild ginseng.Those without blessings cannot see it even if they pass by the ginseng.

Of course, it's also one aspect of this old man's ginseng, but Zhao Youcai's eyes are really good.Zhao Jun wanted to praise his father to make him happy.

Zhao Youcai smiled when he heard the words, and held the moss in his hand to signal Zhao Jun to put the ginseng on it, but at this moment, Zhao Jun hesitated for a moment, and said to Zhao Youcai, "Dad, let's make this ginseng dense?"

As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up, and he nodded instantly!
