Perfect pastoral life

Chapter 48 The Leader

The sun was rising, and the morning sun was clear and refreshing. Chen Mu got up early to make breakfast for Chen Xiaoyu.

As soon as he opened the door and walked out, he saw Chen Xiaoyu's door opposite him also opened at this time, revealing a small head with messy hair.

"Morning, Xiaoyu, why did you get up so early today?" Chen Mu laughed.

"Papa, didn't you say yesterday that you were going to take Xiaoyu into the mountains to collect herbs?" Chen Xiaoyu rubbed his eyes and said.

Chen Mu smiled and said, "Ah, is that why you wake up so early?"

"Ok!"

Chen Mu walked over to pick up Chen Xiaoyu, found a comb to comb her hair, and then they went downstairs to wash up.

Chen Mu started to make breakfast for Chen Xiaoyu. He cracked a few eggs in a bowl, added milk and flour, stirred well, added chopped green onion, and then put the thick egg batter into the pot one by one. Fry over low heat until the batter turns into thin pancakes, and finally use chopsticks to pick them out and put them on a plate.

After making the egg pancakes, Chen Mu fried a few more sausages, and finally boiled lean meat and millet porridge. The egg pancakes and millet porridge matched perfectly, and a simple breakfast was completed.

After the two of them had breakfast, Chen Mu fed the bumblebee dog food again. After a while, Wu Dayi and a group of people came to urge Chen Mu to go into the mountain.

"Shepherd Boy, are you ready?" Wu Dayi shouted standing in the yard, "We may have to spend the night in the mountains this time, and we won't be back until tomorrow. You should bring some dry food."

"Spending the night in the mountains?" Chen Mu frowned.

"Hey, I didn't agree with you yesterday. We will go to the mountain this time to make a big deal. What kind of bullshit medicinal materials can we dig in a day."

Chen Mu shook his head. It is impossible for him to spend the night in the mountains. He himself is fine, but with Chen Xiaoyu by his side, there are many mosquitoes in the mountains, so we can't let her be a little girl sleeping deep in the mountains overnight to feed the mosquitoes.

"No, I have to come back today." Chen Mu said, "You can just stay in the mountains by yourself, village chief."

"What, you bastard, your words don't count." Wu Dayi's face was dark.

"Village chief, I'm taking the children with me. It's your own business to spend the night in the mountains, and I can't control it."

What Chen Mu said was undeniable. In the end, he went into the house and took a few raw eggs with him.Chen Mu was worried that Chen Xiaoyu would be hungry after entering the mountain, after all, they would only come back in the afternoon or even at night.

Chen Mu's attitude was firm, and Wu Dayi couldn't say anything, so he kept silent with an old face.

A group of people started to set off. Chen Mu carried a small pan on his back, and he let Chen Xiaoyu sit in the pan, and followed the large group out of the village entrance.

This time into the mountain, Wu Dayi still took his relatives with him. Besides, Wang Fugui and Zhao Ergou were also among them, and there were three or five other villagers.

All the way forward, they still followed the previous route into the mountain.

Because this time it is a collective herb collection, the medicinal materials collected by everyone will be collected and sold together, and the money earned will be shared according to the number of people.

Chen Mu didn't plan to spend the night in the mountains. Logically speaking, he could only get the money he harvested today.However, Chen Mu is the leader of this collective herbal collection. Whether everyone can collect medicinal materials today depends largely on Chen Mu's ability to lead the team, so even if he doesn't spend the night in the mountains, he still has the opportunity to share with everyone. money treatment.

In the past, when the villagers went to the mountains to collect herbs, they were almost all led by Wu Dayi, and most of the time they returned empty-handed.Occasionally, when I am lucky, I can pick some good goods, but that kind of luck is rare after all, not every time, Wu Dayi is still under a lot of pressure as the leader.

It is precisely because Wu Dayi led the team into the mountains many times but failed to get anything, so he did everything possible to win over Chen Mu.

Wu Dayi knew what Chen Mu was capable of, not to mention the fact that he was able to harvest huge Ganoderma lucidum, but the wild Codonopsis and Polygonum multiflorum that Chen Mu and Liang Xiaoyue dug up last time in the mountains were enough for Wu Dayi to regret with envy.

If Wu Dayi could have followed Chen Mu that time, Wu Dayi would have been responsible for those wild ginsengs.

Continuing to advance along the canyon, after a while, the group began to enter the second dangerous situation.

Chen Mu led everyone to the front. He knew that there were no medicinal materials to be dug nearby, so he continued to lead everyone to the three dangers.

Wu Dayi saw that Chen Mu took everyone wandering around the mountains for a long time, but he didn't even find the root medicine, so he was a little anxious at that time, and stepped forward to question Chen Mu;
"Shepherd boy, how did you lead the team? It's been a long time since we haven't seen any medicinal materials. You're not playing tricks on us, are you?"

Before Wu Dayi could finish his sentence, Wang Fugui answered, "Village chief, why are you so anxious, you were not a bird when you led a team into the mountains before."

"Wang Fugui, you idiot, did you say that to the village chief?" Wu Dayi scolded.

"It's Muzi that you mentioned first, the village chief. I'm just talking about the facts."

"As far as the matter is concerned, if you have no ability, you have no ability. There are so many excuses."

"Wu Dayi, what are you dragging, be careful that I won't vote for you in the next village chief election."

Wu Dayi's tail was trampled on, and his whole body was not well.Chen Mu, who was walking in front, saw that the two were about to quarrel, turned around and said angrily;

"Can you two calm down, I'm tired of hearing you if you don't bother me."

Seeing Chen Mu speak, Zhao Ergou also began to chime in;

"What are you arguing about? Brother Mu knows what to do. It's useless for you to worry."

Wang Fugui said, "I didn't quarrel, it was the village head who started the quarrel, and it's all thanks to the village head."

Wu Dayi's face turned black; "Wang Fugui, you motherfucker,,, have you put me, the village chief, in your sights..."

"I never took you seriously."

"Wang Fugui, you bastard, you,,,"

Seeing that the two were still arguing, Chen Mu was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, but at this moment, he smelled the smell of medicinal herbs.

According to the breath, carefully distinguishing the types of medicinal materials, Chen Mu immediately affirmed that there are wild astragalus nearby.And judging from his experience, there are still a lot of these wild Astragalus membranaceus.

After confirming the direction, Chen Mu turned around and shouted;
"Shut up both of you, I guess there are medicinal materials nearby, and everyone may have to work hard."

After hearing this, Wu Dayi stopped arguing quickly, his eyes glowed and said;

"Shepherd Boy, are you serious?"

Chen Mu didn't look at Wu Dayi either, he pointed to a hillside in front of the right with his finger, and said;
"The hillside over there is full of sunshine, not easy to accumulate water, and rich in vegetation. It is the best place for wild medicinal materials to grow. Village chief, go and have a look, and you should be able to dig a lot of good goods."

Wu Dayi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around and ordered the troops to speak;
"Come with me, everyone. The village chief will take you there to dig for medicinal materials. Be quicker with your legs and feet."

After finishing speaking, Wu Dayi tightened the small pannier on his body, and led a group of people hurriedly to the hillside one kilometer away.

Chen Mu didn't plan to go there. His main task this time was to find medicinal materials for everyone. As for the hard work of digging medicinal materials, he, the leader, didn't need to do it.

After the big troops left, Chen Xiaoyu was very puzzled when he saw that his father didn't follow.

"Rake, why don't we go dig the herbs?" Chen Xiaoyu asked.

"Digging medicinal materials is so boring." Chen Mu smiled, "Will Dad take you to dig orchids?"

Chen Xiaoyu's eyes lit up; "Okay, okay, but rapa, where are the orchids?"

"Well, Dad will take you there."

Chen Mu carried Chen Xiaoyu on his back in a basket, and started walking towards the grass on the left.

In fact, before discovering Astragalus, Chen Mu had already smelled the fragrance of orchids.

There are countless varieties of orchids in China, and they can be divided into four categories in the general direction, namely Chunlan, Cymbidium, Jianlan and Molan.Chunlan usually blooms in January, Cymbidium blooms in March, and now it is between May and June. The orchids that can bloom in this season may end up being Jianlan.

Needless to say, the orchid that exudes a faint fragrance at this moment must be Jianlan.

Jianlan is divided into many types, such as the common small pink, iron bone, golden horsetail, etc. Different varieties have completely different flower colors and fragrances, each with its own characteristics.

Judging by the concentration of the fragrance of the flowers floating over, Chen Mu determined the direction of the orchid growing place.He carried Chen Xiaoyu on his back and walked in the grass for a while, and after a while, a more intense fragrance came over his face.
