Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 32 Herbal Medicine
"Good! Uncle Red Soldier is benevolent and kind."

Sudden.

Dakui clapped his hands and applauded, Tie Zhu, Fu Sheng, Lao Gen and several sister-in-laws who came to their senses also congratulated.

With the support of a few leaders in the village, other villagers will naturally not be unhappy, and what does the mountain apricot have to do with me, if people want to raise it, they can raise it!
Most importantly, Uncle Hongbing is rich!

It costs 300 yuan a worker, and if he is driven away by the Red Army Uncle because of his nonsense, wouldn't it be a big loss.

"Uncle Hong Soldier is just like the old man, with a kind heart."

"Whoever says it's not, you can see it when you first meet Uncle Hongbing."

"Shan Xing is enjoying the blessings. When you see Uncle in the future, don't make a fool of yourself."

"Uncle Hong Bing just marry Shan Xing, today's wages will be treated as red envelopes."

"That's right! As the old saying goes, a man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful face are a match made in heaven."

The villagers made a fuss, and the more they talked, the more outrageous they became, and finally it even involved marriage.

Shan Xing, who was surrounded by several sister-in-laws, sensed something was wrong, and hurried to Li Hongbing, staring at Li Hongbing silently with her clear and bright eyes.

Li Hongbing laughed a few times, "Everyone, don't worry, the house hasn't been repaired yet, how can you marry a wife, and you still expect the old and young men to help you."

Da Kui came out and picked up the shovel.

"Work, work, Uncle Hongbing said, don't get married if you don't see a new house."

"Work."

"Brother Fu Sheng clears out the pond first, Brother Lao Gen, help clear up the fruit trees, and I will go to the backyard to clear the canal."

"got it."

The villagers began to get busy with their own division of labor.

Li Hongbing took Dakui and a dozen people to the backyard.

……

The backyard of the Li family’s old house was built at the mouth of a mountain, and the fence wall just surrounded the two sides of the mountain, and took the mountain as its own.

Pass through the porch to the backyard paved with bluestone strips, which has been left unattended all year round. There is a layer of green moss attached to the surface of the stone strips. In the center of the yard is a well surrounded by stone fences. The bottom of the well is dry and waterless. In the corner of the backyard there are two The stone house is where grandpa usually used to make medicine.

Extending back from the backyard is the entrance to the col.

The mouth of the col is small and big, and the width of the entrance is less than ten meters. It becomes wider as you go in. The widest part is more than 30 meters, and the depth reaches 300 meters.

On both sides of the steep cliffs, the gray-white rock walls are as bare as a knife, making it difficult for birds to land and monkeys to worry about climbing.

When he was a child, his grandfather forbade Li Hongbing to step into the backyard, saying that there were poisonous snakes in it. Li Hongbing naturally believed it, and only dared to play in the col every time.

Revisiting the old place, he is no longer the youthful young man.

Waist-deep lush vegetation grows wantonly, leaving only a small sutra stepped on yesterday.

Li Hongbing subconsciously turned on his perception, and suddenly a hundred green light spots of alternate shades appeared in the perception range of his mind.

origin?

Unlike, the light emitted by the source is dazzling, and these thick and faint green light spots are more like the pulse of life.

Turn over the grass and find the green spot closest to you.

Good guy.

Leafless, erect stem, orange in color, as thick as a baby's arm.

It turns out that the wild Gastrodia elata is at least 30 years old, and there are more than one.

If you find other green spots, they are also very valuable medicinal materials.

Danshen, Cornus officinalis, Polyporus, Huanyangcao, Panax notoginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Scutellaria baicalensis, golden ribbon, black ginseng...

Through observation, these shades of green dots represent the year and grade of medicinal materials. The higher the age, the higher the grade, the stronger the life contained, and the stronger the color in perception.

Most importantly, Li Hongbing discovered the most precious and rare ginseng in the Qinbalin area near the corner of the rock wall.

Ginseng, also known as Ginseng, was a tribute to the imperial court in ancient times. It is different from ginseng. Ginseng nourishes vitality, but Ginseng is a priceless treasure for men. It is the best product for nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, strengthening the body and strengthening the foundation.

Long-term use can also prolong life, make men energetic, strengthen their physique, and improve their ability to have sex.

After taking it, it can also replenish vitality and strengthen kidney function. After taking it, women can also produce body fluids and quench thirst, generate blood and nourish blood, and beautify the skin.

The consumption of wild ginseng for thousands of years has led to the extinction of wild ginseng, and all the ginseng sold in the market is planted ginseng, which is less than one-ten-thousandth of wild ginseng.

Li Hongbing is also planning to cultivate ginseng with the power of the source, but unexpectedly, there is a ginseng plant in front of him. According to his visual inspection, there are more than ten trees with different years. The old ones are more than 30 years old, and the young ones are more than ten years old.

Grandpa, I am convinced.

So many precious medicinal materials are thrown in the weeds, and if you just say it anyway, your grandson will save 20 years of struggle.

Da Kui poked through the grass with a shovel and found a Gastrodia elata stalk as thick as a thumb.

"Uncle Red Soldier, how do you plan to clean it up? I think there are a lot of herbs from previous years here, so it's a pity to dig them up like this."

Li Hongbing knew that Da Kui said this on purpose, and was afraid that he would not know the value of these medicinal materials.

After all, people are different, and it's okay to know a few people well, but those villagers who don't know it can't guarantee it. Just now, I saw a villager deliberately fiddle with a year-old Panax notoginseng tree with a shovel.

"These herbs were planted by my grandfather before he was alive. I will keep them as a thought. Clean up the front yard first, and wait a few days for the back yard."

Dakui looked suddenly enlightened, and took back his shovel to greet other villagers.

"It turned out that the old lady planted it. I said, why are there so many medicinal herbs in the mountain depression? I walked away and went back to the front yard."

The villager who fiddled with Sanqi showed a slightly annoyed expression. Li Hongbing secretly remembered his appearance and blamed himself for being careless. He should have gone to the backyard to have a look.

How could such a large wild herb garden not be missed.

Back in the front yard.

The people did not stop working, and the pond was cleaned out in one day.

There is still some silt left on the bluestone slab at the bottom of the pond, and it can be cleaned up after the canal is opened up and rinsed with water.

Standing at the gate of the yard, Li Hongbing stuffed a pack of cigarettes for each of the villagers who were helping them, and sent them out with a smile, leaving only Dakui, Lao Gen, Fu Sheng, and Shui Sheng who knew the basics.

Shanxing cooked a table of dishes with several sister-in-laws, placed them under the old oak tree, and then returned to the kitchen.

There is a rule in the village that women are not allowed to sit at the table at the banquet. Li Hongbing is very annoyed by this rule. It is very lively when everyone sits at the same table to eat, but tonight there are important matters to be discussed, and there are many people talking, and the power of the old lady to gossip is still very strong.

Li Hongbing stood up and poured wine for several people.

Fu Sheng looked at the wine glass, "Uncle Hongbing, is there something wrong? When you came back from the backyard, I noticed that Dakui's expression was not right."

Before Li Hongbing could speak, Dakui pointed to the wine glass first.

"Well, the old man planted a lot of medicinal materials in the mountain depression in the backyard. Gastrodia elata is so thick. I am afraid that someone will steal the medicine, so I asked Uncle Hong Soldier not to clean up the backyard."

The wine glass was so thick that the others gasped.

Except for Li Hongbing, all of you here have traveled to the mountains when you were young, so you naturally know how valuable this wild Gastrodia elata is.

Fu Sheng nodded, "Yes, it's a good thing you stopped me. You know people and faces but don't know what you're thinking. If the medicinal materials are stolen, the crime will be serious."

"Otherwise, if we old guys work hard, together with the idiot, we will be able to clear the backyard ditch tomorrow." Lao Gen nodded in the same way.

Tie Zhu supported, "I think it's okay, don't look for outsiders, at worst, you can work for two more days."

"Okay, after the pond is cleaned up, there's not much work to do afterwards. Uncle Hongbing, I'm going to eat your big meat for a few more days, don't feel bad!" Shui Sheng cheerfully raised his wine glass.

Li Hongbing could feel the sincerity of these old men towards him, so he raised his wine glass without pretentiousness.

"Don't talk too much, it's all in the wine, do it!"

"Dry."

"readily."

"Go one."

"Good drink."

"I replace wine with tea."

……

Treetops on the moon.

Full of wine, full of food, drunk.

Drunken and hazy, he sent several people out of the yard, and just sat down when they returned to the rice field, a cup of strong tea appeared beside him.

"Okay, don't learn, learn to drink. You see, they are all drunk, so Uncle Tie Zhu is better." At this moment, Shan Xing, who was angry, looked exactly like his mother when he was nagging him.

Hey!
Li Hongbing tilted his head, glanced sideways, and smirked.

"How do you talk to me, no big or small. In terms of seniority, you have to call me grandpa."

spit!
shameless.

For a while brother, for a while grandpa.

Shan Xing suddenly remembered some interesting things in the boudoir that Aunt Guifeng and the others had told in the kitchen.

Immediately, a blush appeared on his face.

Leave a word, and limped away.

"I'm going to boil water for you to take a bath."

Hey!

Looking at the back of the fleeing figure in embarrassment, Li Hongbing raised the corners of his mouth and hummed a nursery rhyme triumphantly.

"Little girl.

Get up early in the morning.

Pull up the trousers and go to the latrine.

There are people in the hut, so I dare not go in.

Finally pull on the pants. "
