Chapter 39: Ginseng Garden is targeted (please recommend)
After tasting the various wild vegetables that are on the market in spring, another kind of mountain delicacy has quietly appeared in the jungles and mountains.For Mu Shanhe, who lives in Wangyunling Garden, it suddenly feels like this year has passed faster than last year.

This kind of mountain treasure that quietly appears is the mushroom that sprouts in the mountains.Compared with picking wild vegetables, villagers living around forest areas are undoubtedly more enthusiastic about mountain delicacies such as mushrooms, and they go into the mountains one after another to look for traces of them.

In addition to mushrooms such as hazelnut mushrooms and Hericium erinaceus, which can sell for a good price, mushrooms such as sheep mushrooms, elm mushrooms, morel mushrooms, cockscomb mushrooms, thigh mushrooms, etc. are also a very common seasonal home-cooked dish in the homes of people in forest areas. .

Even many women in forest areas will pick these mushrooms in large quantities for drying when they are on the market.In winter, when the family is short of food, these dried mushrooms can also improve their meals.

Although there are vendors buying dry goods, the price of dried mushrooms at this time of year is naturally not as good as in later generations.But for many women in forest areas who are unemployed, they will also pick more and sell it after drying it to earn some so-called pocket money.

Many villagers from the village who came to Wangyunling and planned to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms were surprised when they saw the mushrooms drying outside Mushanhe's residence and said: "Shanzi, you picked these? Are you going to dry them?" Are you selling it?"

"I really didn't think about this! Sometimes when I pick too much, I just dry it. Anyway, it can be stored for a long time if it is dried. If there is a large quantity and the price is right, I can just carry some to the town to sell."

"You can do that, kid! I'm afraid you've picked all the mushrooms on the nearby hills, right?"

"That's possible! It's such a big mountain, I can't run here! Besides, fungi will pop up every few days. If you go look for them in the nearby mountains, you can probably find them. I exposed this. I’m afraid I only have enough dry food for myself!”

Mu Shanhe asked himself that he had no interest in collecting mushrooms and selling them for money.In fact, when he went to the mountains to pick mushrooms, he also picked the ones with the best appearance.Some are kept fresh and stored in space, while others are directly dried into dry goods.

He would give up the mushrooms that were of poor quality or that he didn't find the right time to pick.If these dry goods he dried were sold to vendors, they would probably be regarded as the highest grade fungi.

The question is, wouldn’t it be more cost-effective to eat such good bacteria yourself or give them away?
As more villagers entered the mountains, news spread that Mu Shanhe was living a good life in the mountains.The villagers who were worried that he might have a hard life living alone in the mountains now finally no longer have such worries.

The reason is that Mu Shanhe's residence is very clean and tidy, and even the villagers who come here want to stop at his residence to have a drink of water or something.Knowing these circumstances, the villagers naturally knew that his life was not miserable.

Many villagers even said with a smile: "They lived a much more relaxed life in the mountains than we did. We didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and we had time to plant flowers and grass! The surroundings of the small house were well taken care of. So beautiful.”

Many of the flowers and plants mentioned by the villagers are flowers transplanted from space by Mushanhe.In addition to those specially transplanted, he also dug some flowers and plants from the mountains that he thought were pretty and easy to transplant.

It was precisely because of seeing Mu Shanhe's leisurely and relaxed mood that the villagers felt that his life was not as miserable as they imagined, living alone in the garden.But those villagers don't know yet, those flowers and plants will make Mu Shanhe make a lot of money in the future!

Watching the ginseng grow red ginseng seeds again, Mu Shanhe became much busier.But he knows that it has been almost a year since spring passed and autumn came and he was reborn.And he seemed to have done nothing during this year and basically stayed here in Shenyuan.

After collecting the ginseng seeds and applying fertilizer, he carried the salable ginseng seeds back to Xinmintun and entrusted Mu Xingfu to help sell them again.The old village chief was also very happy to see Mu Shanhe, who was obviously taller and stronger.

Asked: "Didn't you go into the mountains during this time?"

"I've been there several times, but nothing has been gained. You should know that the probability of finding wild ginseng in the woods around Wangyun Ridge is very small. And at this time of year, I think it is more important to guard the garden."

"It seems that you, kid, still have some knowledge. This year is also the fifth year of your garden. It really needs to be guarded well. If you really let others harm it, the losses will be a lot. A few days ago, I heard your Uncle Erwang say , someone who planted ginseng in the forest farm was stolen!"

"Have you caught someone?" "How? There are no traces, so how can the police solve the case? The most important thing is that many people grow garden ginseng now. When the season for buying garden ginseng comes, the guys who steal the ginseng will just sell it secretly. I'm afraid Nothing can be found."

Garden ginseng is not a rare thing in Shuangdian.With the liberalization of private contracting, more and more farmers are planting ginseng.Correspondingly, when the season comes for harvesting and selling ginseng, people who harvest it don’t care where the ginseng comes from.

Because of this, many ginseng growers will send people to strictly guard against the ginseng in the year and season when it can be sold.Only in this way can we ensure that the family's hard work for several years will finally make the damn thief cheaper.

Of course, if a ginseng thief is caught by a ginseng farmer, the consequences will be tragic.Taking the opportunity, Mu Xingfu also warned Mu Shanhe to be careful when staying alone in the mountains and not to let those who steal ginseng get close to the ginseng garden.

After hearing this, Mu Shanhe also smiled and said: "Grandpa Mu, don't worry, what I have in my hand is not a fire stick!"

"That's not a big deal! If you really want to kill someone, it would be a big deal."

"I know, if I can't beat them to death, I have to scare them to death. Besides, Daqing is with me!"

In fact, when Mu Shanhe was discussing this matter with Mu Xingfu, there was actually a group of people in the town talking about Mu Shanhe's ginseng garden.And these people are also known in the town as people who don't do serious business and hang out on the streets every day.

Knowing that the purchase price of garden ginseng has risen again this year, they also started to engage in this kind of profit-free business.Although knowing that if caught, the consequences could be serious.But the problem is, people who watch ginseng will always take a nap!

"Brother Damao, what do you think about this matter?"

"Wangyunling, is it a bit far from the town? Are you really sure that the garden is guarded by a bunch of guys?"

"That's still fake! Brother Da Mao must have heard of Mr. Mu of Xinmintun, right? He bought the ginseng garden a few years ago. It covers an area of ​​more than a hundred feet. I heard from nearby villagers that the ginseng garden is managed by the ginseng garden. Yes, this is the fifth year.”

Listening to the younger brother's story, the middle-aged man in the lead, nicknamed Big Mao Ge, frowned and said: "Lao Mu, he is famous in our forest area and in the town. If the news of stealing his ginseng really spreads, then we It’s hard to get along in town.”

"Brother, it's all work done by my brothers. How can it be spread out? If it really doesn't work, why don't we leave some for him? It's not easy to find an easy garden now, and Lei Zi has been keeping a close eye on it recently. It’s tight!”

For these people who are accustomed to making ill-gotten gains, the so-called reputation does not matter at all.In other words, if they cared about their so-called reputation, they wouldn't do such a thing.Driven by profit, they quickly decided to find an opportunity to take action.

I learned that Mu Shanhe would come to the town to attend the market every once in a while.They felt that they would take advantage of Mu Shanhe's brief absence to find the right time to take action.Before Mu Shanhe returns to the ginseng garden, he must be able to dig up a lot of ginseng.

But before taking action, you have to send people to check out the points and even find a retreat route.But they had no idea that Mu Shanhe, who seemed to be just a young boy, was actually capable and capable beyond their imagination.

If they dare to harm the ginseng garden that Mu Shanhe is guarding, Mu Shanhe will also take this opportunity to make them realize how dangerous it is to dare to disturb the mountain god.But right now, these people who have been dazzled by benefits may not be able to feel it yet!
