The peasant widow is famous all over the world

"Brother and sister, did you go to Dr. Wu yesterday to buy medicine for the mountain?" Lu Zhian asked as soon as he stepped into Qingzhu Mountain.

Tang Mian nodded, "I think the mountains are very dangerous, so it would be safer to prepare more medicine."

Lu Zhi'an pulled the bow and arrow on his body and said, "Yes. I usually ask Doctor Wu to buy those medicines when I go to the mountains, but I never thought you could be so thoughtful."

Tang Mian smiled and said, "Be prepared!"

"My brother and sister are right, be prepared. Come, I prepared this dagger for my brother and sister. Let me take it and try it." Lu Zhiqiang took out a sheathed dagger and handed it to Tang Mian and said.

Tang Mian took it happily and said, "Thank you second cousin."

When the dagger is unsheathed, the light can identify people.

Tang Mian was amazed in his heart, what a sharp dagger.

Lu Zhiqiang took a look and quickly reminded, "Brothers and sisters, please be careful. This dagger is not the kitchen knife you usually use. It can easily hurt yourself. When we get there, I will teach you how to use it."

Putting the dagger into its sheath, Tang Mian responded softly: "Okay."

"Brothers and sisters, where do the medicines you collect usually grow?" Lu Zhian asked.

Only after asking clearly can he lead the way.

Tang Mian thought for a while and said: "Ginseng likes soft, moist and fertile places, such as ghost trees, which may grow next to aspen trees. Ganoderma lucidum likes trees that are sparse and open, with shading objects that can let in sunlight. It usually grows on the roots of rotten trees or on trees. Dendrobium prefers half shade and half sun, and may grow in moist places, in cracks in rocks or on tree bark or trunks."

"There are other precious medicinal materials, such as Polygonum multiflorum, which like warm and moist fertile sandy soil. They usually grow in short jungles, mountains or crevices between rocks."

Lu Zhian and Lu Zhiqiang were shocked after hearing this. This was too complicated.

Lu Zhi'an breathed a long sigh of relief, "I will take you to a soft, moist and fertile place first to see if you can find ginseng."

Although he didn't know it, he knew that ginseng was very valuable.The older the ginseng is, the more valuable it is, now.
It depends on their luck!

"Okay." Tang Mian and Lu Zhiqiang agreed and followed Lu Zhi'an's pace.

After confirming the walking direction, the three of them didn't say anything else along the way.

Tang Mian observed the surroundings at all times and would pick any medicinal materials that could be harvested.

Before reaching the destination, Tang Mian had already picked white peony root, red ginseng, honeysuckle and atractylodes.

Every time he picked a medicinal material, Tang Mian would explain it carefully to his two cousins.

Lu Zhiqiang and Lu Zhi'an were very impressed by Tang Mian, "Brother and sister, you are very capable!"

Tang Mian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's just a long-term illness."

Lu Zhiqiang and Lu Zhi'an paused and thought of Lu Xun at the same time.

Lu Zhiqiang sneered, looked at Lu Zhi'an, and changed the subject, "Cousin, it's getting dark now. What do you think we will do tonight?"

Lu Zhi'an immediately came back to his senses, glanced at the woods in the distance, and said, "There is a small rocky slope a little way forward. Let's spend the night there tonight."

"The destination is not far away. We will start from the resting place after dawn and have a cup of tea."

Lu Zhiqiang nodded and pulled the strap of the backpack, "Okay. Brothers and sisters, let's go."

After collecting several kinds of medicine, the basket on his back was heavy, so Lu Zhiqiang took it from Tang Mian and carried it on his back.

Tang Mian had no objection and completely obeyed Lu Zhian's arrangements as to which route to take.

When he reached the resting place, Lu Zhiqiang put down his backpack and said, "I'm going to pick up some dry wood to make a fire, and I'll help my cousin and my siblings clear the land."

"Okay, go ahead." Lu Zhian also put the flying claws, ropes, spears, bows and arrows he was carrying on the ground.

Tang Mian also unloaded his things and started cleaning weeds and dead leaves.

After a large area was cleared, Lu Zhiqiang took out the deworming medicine and drew a circle. The three of them would rest in this circle tonight.

"Cousin, did you also buy medicine?" Tang Mian looked at Lu Zhian's actions in surprise.

Lu Zhian smiled, "As my siblings said, be prepared!"

Tang Mian nodded and said nothing.

As soon as the place was cleared, Lu Zhiqiang came back with a large bundle of firewood.

Lu Zhiqiang started to light a fire, while Lu Zhi'an dealt with a pheasant he had shot before.

After plucking all the feathers from the chicken, disembowel it, take out all the internal organs, dig a hole and bury them.

Rinse slightly with water from the water bag and apply salt and seasoning.

At this time, Lu Zhiqiang had already prepared the rack for roasting chicken, and Lu Zhi'an directly placed it on it and started roasting.

Tang Mian was slightly stunned when he saw it, they must be two experienced cousins!
All she brought was dried meat and dry biscuits, Feiya.

"Brothers and sisters, the pheasant will be roasted for a while. If you are hungry, eat some cake first." Lu Zhiqiang handed Tang Mian a piece of cake and said.

Tang Mian waved his hand and took out a piece of cake from the cloth bag he brought, "Second cousin, no need, I brought the cake."

"Okay." Lu Zhiqiang said nothing more, took back the pancake and started to eat it himself.

After traveling all afternoon, he was already hungry.

Tang Mian tore off half of the cake and put the other half back. She didn't have as good an appetite as her cousin.

After placing the cakes, he took out some dried meat and handed it to Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhiqiang, "First cousin, second cousin, you can try the dried meat made by my mother."

"Okay. The dried meat made by the third aunt is very delicious. I haven't eaten it for a long time." The two of them accepted it generously.

The three of them were half full. After the pheasant was roasted and finished, Lu Zhiqiang explained to Tang Mian how to use the dagger.

Time passed little by little, and the sleepiness of the three gradually came over them.

"Cousin, you go to bed first, I will keep watch in the first half of the night." Lu Zhiqiang said while prying the fire.

Although it is hot in late summer, the temperature in the mountains and forests is lower, and it is even cooler when it cools down at night.

Therefore, Lu Zhiqiang did not put out the fire.

"Brothers and sisters, did you bring a thin quilt? It's cold in the mountains at night, so you have to cover yourself with a thin quilt to avoid the cold." Lu Zhian looked at Tang Mian and asked.

Tang Mian was slightly startled and shook his head, "No."

Lu Zhi'an looked as if this was indeed the case, "You cover mine, Zhiqiang and I will switch covers."

Tang Mian nodded, "Thank you, cousin."

She still has little experience and is not thoughtful.

Tang Mian took the thin quilt handed over by Lu Zhi'an, lay down on the bed made of thick withered grass, closed his eyes and slept peacefully.

The next day, Tang Mian was awakened by the sound of birds.

When they opened their eyes, Lu Zhian and Lu Zhiqiang were already packing their things.

"Brothers and sisters are awake." Lu Zhiqiang said with a smile.

Tang Mian put his elbows on the ground and stood up, "First cousin, second cousin, what time is it?" Lu Zhiqiang: "It's not even midnight, it's still early."

Tang Mian breathed a sigh of relief, patted his cheek, and stood up to start packing his things.

The three of them had a simple breakfast and continued their journey with Lu Zhian leading the way.

After almost a cup of tea, Lu Zhian, who was walking in front, stopped.

"arrive."

Lu Zhi'an looked at the road ahead and said, then turned back to Tang Mian, "Brothers and sisters, starting from here, the land for several miles is relatively soft and very fertile."

After hearing this, Tang Mian walked out from behind and took a look, "First cousin, second cousin, let's start looking from here."

In fact, she had looked carefully along the way, but she didn't find ginseng or other precious medicinal materials.

Hope there will be gains ahead.

Before the search, Tang Mian explained the appearance of ginseng flowers to Lu Zhiqiang and Lu Zhi'an in detail. Three pairs of eyes were always better than one pair of hers.

Lu Zhian listened carefully to Tang Mian's explanation, and vaguely felt that the appearance she mentioned was very familiar, and he must have seen it before.

"First cousin, second cousin, the three of us are looking for a direction. If you see a flower similar to what I just said, call me." Tang Mian said.

Lu Zhiqiang shook his head, "You have to keep one person by your side. Although there are no wild beasts here, if you encounter a venomous snake, I'm afraid you won't be able to react."

Lu Zhi'an also nodded in agreement, "Zhiqiang is right. He is more skilled, so let him follow you. Let's split up in two ways. The worst thing is to go slower."

Tang Mian had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

After agreeing, Tang Mian and Lu Zhiqiang worked together, holding wooden sticks to push aside the weeds and saplings in front of them, and searched carefully.

Lu Zhian, not far from them, also picked up a wooden stick and searched for it.

"Brother and sister." As time passed, Lu Zhian suddenly shouted, "Come over and take a look."

Tang Mian heard the sound and walked over quickly. Lu Zhi'an happily pointed to a short plant with a green rhizome and a red flower in the middle four or five steps ahead and said, "Brothers and sisters, look, is that ginseng?"

Tang Mian followed what he pointed at and looked over, his brows rising instantly, "Cousin, this is ginseng."

After saying that, he walked over in three or two steps, squatted down and touched the green ginseng leaves. There were five leaves. This ginseng plant should be quite old.

For a moment, Tang Mian's heart surged.

Lu Zhiqiang also walked over at this time, staring closely at the red flower in the middle of the green plant. Is this ginseng?

Lu Zhi'an heard Tang Mian say that the thing in front of him was ginseng. After being stunned for a moment, Lu Zhi'an immediately became excited, "Brother and sister, I have seen this kind of flower in other places, more than one."

"What?" Tang Mian and Lu Zhiqiang turned to look at him at the same time.

Lu Zhian's excited expression remained, "I have seen it, I really have seen it."

Lu Zhiqiang and Tang Mian both had bright smiles on their faces.

Lu Zhiqiang even patted Lu Zhi'an's shoulder heavily, "Brother, good job!"

Then he took a deep breath and said, "Brothers and sisters, how do you want to dig?"

I quickly dug up this plant and went to the place my cousin told me about.

Tang Mian also temporarily suppressed the joy in his heart, took back his hand touching the leaves, and said, "First clear away all the weeds around the ginseng."

"Okay." Lu Zhian and Lu Zhiqiang responded in unison.

They can do this.

Just as they were told, the two put down their things, bent down and began to clean up the weeds around them.

Tang Mian was not idle either. He put down his things and took out the medicine hoe and mallet and needle.

Lu Zhian and the other two were quick with their hands and feet and had already cleared away the weeds around them.

Tang took the medicine hoe and dug up all the soil on the surface first. When the digging was almost complete, he slowly dug out the remaining soil with a mallet and needle.

Gradually, the appearance of ginseng was revealed.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhiqiang looked at each other excitedly.

After Tang Mian saw the appearance of ginseng, the serious expression on his face gradually relaxed.

However, she didn't dare to be careless, let alone use too much force.

If you accidentally break the ginseng, it will be worthless.

Finally, Tang Mian simply knelt on the ground, carefully dug away the soil around the ginseng tendons, and then used a mallet and needle to pick out the ginseng tendons one by one.

Lu Zhian and Lu Zhiqiang both wiped their hands with sweat. They were really bad at this job.

When the whole ginseng lay in the palm of Tang Mian's hand, the three of them were happy and relieved.

"First cousin, second cousin, ginseng." Tang Mian held ginseng in his hand and said with a smile on his face.

Lu Zhi'an raised his hands and touched it, then let go, "I wonder how much money this ginseng plant is worth?"

Tang Mian shook his head, "I don't know the quality of ginseng, and I don't know the price. I'll ask Doctor Wu first when I go back tomorrow."

"Yes, yes." Lu Zhian and the two said with smiles.

Tang Mian asked Lu Zhiqiang to take out the red cloth, wrap the ginseng and put it in the backpack.

"Cousin, where was the place where you said you saw ginseng?"

Lu Zhi'an paused and said, "You have to walk about three miles to the right, but there may be a tiger there."

He had gone hunting before, but he had not been able to guard the tiger or find the tiger's lair.

Tang Mian and Lu Zhiqiang were slightly startled. Is there a tiger?

After a moment of silence, Lu Zhiqiang said: "We are very lucky along the way. We should not encounter tigers."

Lu Zhian was silent. He was not worried about a tiger at first.

The key is that harvesting ginseng is not only time-consuming, but also requires patience and care. He is afraid of tigers appearing during the harvest.

Tang Mian thought for a while and said, "First cousin, second cousin, let's look here first and then talk."

"Yes." Lu Zhian nodded, "We're here now, but we still have to go through this whole area."

Before going there, we need to discuss a countermeasure.

Lu Zhiqiang did not object.

The three of them continued to look for ginseng according to their previous arrangements.
