Hu Hongde shook his head and said, "Ye Tian, it's not a matter of money or not. These ginseng are all made of the essence of heaven and earth. It's a pity that it's damaged."
Although he owes Ye Tian a lot of favor, as an old ginseng, Hu Hongde still insists on digging his own ginseng.
You should know that in winter in the northeast, even the land can be frozen. It is hundreds of times more difficult to dig ginseng than in summer, and a slightly worse pool will hurt the ginseng.
Ye Tian looked at Hu Hongde dissatisfiedly and said, "Lao Hu, don't you look down on me? Let me tell you, what is the art of hope in our door, digging a ginseng?
"Really? Can you see ginseng? Hu Hongde was stunned by what Ye Tian said. It seemed that this hope was used in feng shui. Can it still be used to find ginseng?
Hu Hongde didn't know whether what Ye Tian said was true or not, but when he saw that Ye Tian was so persistent, he finally shook his head and said, "Well, be careful. Ginseng does not grow straight up and down. It is lying on the ground. You have to dig from all around first. Don't hurt the gins
Unlike the rhizome of ordinary plants, the rhizome of ginseng is upside down, and those fine ginseng must be facing the ground, so when starting ginseng, it must be dug from far to near, from bottom to top, little by little.
"I know, Lao Hu, just look at it."
Ye Tian put his backpack aside, reached out and pulled out a short engineering spade from it, and said without aback, "Lao Hu, if I had come to Changbai Mountain to dig ginseng, you would have had no food to eat!"
Listening to Ye Tian's words and watching his movements, Hu Hongde almost didn't cry. He grabbed the shovel and begged for mercy and said, "I said, I'll dig it. How can I use iron to dig this ginseng?"
"What's the matter? What do you use to dig without a spade?"
Ye Tian stopped when he heard the words, and his eyes glanced at Hu Hongde's hand and said, "Lao Hu, you are practicing eagle claw skills, but there are so many ginseng pickers in Changbai Mountain, you may not have this skill, right? Do they also dig with their hands?
In the past few days, in addition to playing with Yu Qingya and others on the mountain, Ye Tian has also played with Hu Hongde several times, and he also admires this extremely fierce Changbai Mountain eagle claw skill · Ye Tian.
Especially in the realm of Hu Hongde, those hands and ten fingers are like ten sharp daggers. The thick trunk of the bowl can be scratched off with one hand. If you hold it on to a person, it will be five bloody holes.
That's why Ye Tian doubted whether Hu Hongde took it directly when he dug the ginseng. After all, the spade was not as flexible as his fingers.
"Who said they dug it by hand?"
Hu Hongde really regretted taking Ye Tian into the mountain. He shook his head and pulled out a knife made of wood from his backpack and said, "Dig with this wooden knife, otherwise there will be antlers. Anyway, you can't use iron!"
Fresh ginseng, whether it is the ginseng whisquirker or the rhizome, is very fragile. As long as it touches the iron, it will definitely cause damage, so this wooden knife and antler are essential tools for ginseng pickers.
In the early years, Hu Hongde also used these two tools, but he later practiced more and more. As Ye Tian said, he dug the ginseng with both hands.
The reason why he went into the mountain this time with a wooden knife antler is that he wanted Ye Tian to have a good time and find a wild ginseng for more than ten years to dig for him, but Hu Hongde didn't expect that Ye Tian's practice would take 50 years of old ginseng, which was not an ordinary luxury.
"It's really a lot of attention. Well, just use this wooden knife.
Ye Tian threw away the shovel and took the toy-like wooden knife. He couldn't help shaking his head. The land is frozen hard this winter. If it is replaced by an ordinary ginseng picker, when will it be dug with a wooden knife?
But for Ye Tian, it really doesn't matter what is used. I'm afraid that this wooden knife is a little sharper than the shovel.
Although Ye Tian didn't care about it before, his whole body became quiet after taking action. After sensing the position of the wild ginseng, he dug it from a distance of more than 30 centimeters away from the ginseng.
Seeing that Ye Tian was so cautious, Hu Hongde had a little more confidence in him. Although he didn't know what attitude means to determine success or failure, he really needed to concentrate when digging.
"This thing grows in the soil, but it can absorb the essence of heaven and earth to refine and condense. It is really worthy of the legendary treasure of heaven and earth, but it grows too slowly!"
Ginseng is the most valuable medicinal material used by Ye Tian since his cultivation, and it has indeed not humiliated the reputation of the king of hundreds of herbs, and its medicinal properties have also played a great role in the advancement of Ye Tian's kung fu.
Although he knew that he would not hurt the ginseng, Ye Tian's movements were also extremely careful. In fact, he seemed to be very quick and gentle to clean up the frozen soil around the wild ginseng.
"Be careful, you're going to dig the mallet, and clean it up slowly!"
The frozen soil is only the surface. After digging, the soil inside became soft, and Ye Tian's movements became faster and faster. Hu Hongde was worried.
Ye Tian also relaxed now. He turned around and smiled and said, "Lao Hu, just look!"
Ye Tian's control of the body is the most suitable for these meticulous tasks. After cleaning up the frozen soil, simply throw away the wooden knife and open the soil under the ginseng with two hands one by one.
After digging out the whole ginseng, Ye Tian peeled off the soil between the ginseng whiskers like flying. Hu Hongde was stunned and was dumbfounded for a moment.
You know, in the soil where ginseng grows, there are still many grass roots, tree roots, stubborn stones, gravel pieces, and some of which are even wrapped in ginseng.
But Ye Tian's ten fingers were like embroidery needles, which were extremely deftly removed all the debris. Although the action was extremely fast, it did not cause any damage to the root.
After only more than ten minutes, a ginseng was complete, the main root skin was yellow-brown, and the shoulders at the top of the hair root were covered with fine and deep screw-like horizontal lines, which appeared in Ye Tian's hands.
There are dozens of wild ginseng whiseng, thick like a toothpick, and thin like hair. What's valuable is that there are so many ginseng whiskers, none of which are broken.
Even Hu Hongde himself can't dig the old ginseng into such a complete appearance. After ten years of collecting parameters, Hu Hongde dares to say that the wild ginseng in Ye Tian's hand is not the longest, but the appearance is definitely the best one.
"Except for the color, this thing is really the same as carrots?"
Ye Tian carefully held this wild ginseng in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully. It was also the first time he saw fresh ginseng, which was very different from the dried ginseng he had bought before.
Ye Tian can feel that the juice in this ginseng contains extremely abundant essence, and its effect is far from comparable to the old ginseng after drying.
Smelling the faint fragrance, Ye Tian even had an impulse to throw it into his mouth and chew it.
For others, it may make up too much, but for Ye Tian's body, there will never be no such thing as deficiency. That is, taking the old ginseng of Liupin Ye to Ye Tian as a meal, those essences of heaven and earth will also be transformed into the essence of his body.
"Ye Tian, you have taken it. Be careful not to break the root of the beard."
Hu Hongde also came to his senses at this time. He didn't care that the wild ginseng would come to check, but he turned back and ran to the birch forest more than 20 meters away.
"Lao Hu, what are you doing?"
Ye Tian turned his head in surprise. As soon as he shouted, he saw Hu Hongde's right hand claws and grabbed the tall birch tree.
With a "sneer", a large piece of birch bark was torn down by Hu Hongde. He squatted down and opened the snow on the ground. Hu Hongde ran back after a long time.
"Ye Tian, give me this mallet."
before Ye Tian opened his mouth to ask, Hu Hongde was about to pass the wild ginseng and wrapped it with the bark. Ye Tian found that there was still some moss and rotten soil in the bark.
Hu Hongde took out a wooden box from his backpack and carefully put the old ginseng wrapped in the bark. After finishing these, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Seeing Ye Tian's doubtful eyes, Hu Hongde smiled and said, "This mallet will quickly become dry away from the soil. I will hold it with bark and moss to ensure that its essence will not be leaked!"
"It's really a lot of attention. If you want me to say, why don't you just eat it directly and replenish your vitality?"
Ye Tian licked his lips, and he stewed a lot of dried ginseng, but Ye Tian really hasn't eaten this kind of fresh wild ginseng. The huge essence in the wild ginseng made Ye Tian feel itchy.
Seeing Ye Tian's eyes, Hu Hongde couldn't help taking a step back, holding the wooden box in his arms and saying, "Don't be violent. The four-grade leaves of the past 50 years are rare, and they can be kept for death."
The so-called hanging is that when there is only one breath left, a person cuts the hundred-year-old ginseng into slices and gives it to the patient. The essence of the ginseng can make people live a little more time to explain their last words.
In ancient times, many large high-family homes liked to hide old ginseng, for this reason, but the century-old wild ginseng has become an unattainable object in modern times, and these 50 years can barely be used.
"I just want to taste it."
Looking at Hu Hongde looking at himself like a thief, Ye Tian said anguously, "Lao Hu, there are still a lot of ginseng around here, but there is no thick one. Shall we dig it all out?"
Through the qi sensing, Ye Tian can detect that there are some objects containing essence more than ten meters around the four-grade leaves, which must be the descendants of this ginseng.
"I said my ancestors, why don't you leave some wild ginseng seeds for Changbai Mountain? This mountain forest still needs to feed a lot of people!" After hearing Ye Tian's words, Hu Hongde suddenly smiled bitterly.
Ginseng pickers have rules for ginseng pickers. Unless they meet five-grade leaves, they will dig out the four-grade and three-grade leaves around them. For other wild ginsengsengs for more than ten years, ginseng pickers will never touch PS: First update, thank you for the red reward of Zhuang Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets for support!
