"Is there ginseng here?"

Ye Tian was stunned when he heard the words. This place is a hillside, full of low miscellaneous trees, and the vision is very wide. If there were ginseng here, wouldn't it have been picked away?

"Yes, that's it." Hu Hongde nodded and said with certainty, "I found it the year before last. This year is not enough. I stayed."

"This place is only two mountains away from the outside. Won't it be picked up if someone touches it?"

Ye Tian asked the question in his heart, and he always thought that the ginseng grew between the mountains and mountains. He didn't expect to meet a wild ginseng so easily.

You know, when Ye Tian was in the medicinal material market in Hebei, the real wild ginseng was absolutely rare. Not to mention the century-old ginseng, it has been regarded as the treasure of some merchants for decades.

After hearing Ye Tian's words, Hu Hongde showed a trace of pride on his face and said, "Old guys all know that this is my territory. Even if they put the mountain here, they will not touch the mallet I left behind!"

"Put the mountain, what is that?" Ye Tian heard another noun that he didn't understand.

"Digging wild ginseng is called releasing the mountain. Those people are afraid of an accident when they enter the mountain. Generally, there are seven or eight people entering the mountain, and one of them is the leader, which is called the head..."

When Hu Hongde was young, he once let go of the mountain with others. Later, he explored the experience of picking ginseng in winter, so he changed to enter the mountain alone, so he also knows a lot about releasing the mountain.

Every word and deed of the mountain people is full of mystery in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact, these words and deeds have a practical purpose.

At the beginning of the mountain, the people who released the mountain had to line up, open the weeds with wooden sticks, and searched up the hillside from the foot of the mountain. This is called "pressing the mountain", and the other way is called "the mountain", that is, everyone scattered to search, knocking on the wooden stick as the contact signal

However, in either way, it is strictly forbidden to speak, let alone eat. According to the mountain man, once the ginseng doll in the red belly pocket is disturbed, the ginseng will run away.

The real reason is to concentrate on finding ginseng. Talking and eating will distract everyone's attention. In addition, if you shout loudly in the mountains and forests, it is easy to generate echoes and get lost.

Whoever found the ginseng, he immediately inserted the wooden stick into the ground, tied the red wire of the bronze coin to the ginseng stem, and spread a piece of red cloth under the ginseng. It is said that the ginseng doll has the ability to escape from the earth, and can't escape with the red thread.

In fact, the red line is only for eye-catching, because the ginseng is in the weeds and will be trampled on if you are not careful. With a red line, the red and green line are intertwined, which is particularly eye-catching.

As for the red cloth floor, it is used to touch and drop ginseng seeds, which is also very valuable and is a good medicine for midwifery. After all this, the lucky one who finds the ginseng will shout "Bang!"

Then the friends will ask, "What kind of goods?" Answer: "Wu Pin Ye!" As soon as everyone heard it, they would say, "Come on!" Hurry up, Jieye, Dang, Shundang, this is also a saying in Changbai Mountain Forest District.

"Why do I sound like a bandit on the mountain? What is Wupinye? Ye Tian looked at Hu Hongde suspiciously and said with a smile, "Lao Hu, isn't this the slang you learned in the cottage?"

"Hey, haven't you ever bought ginseng? Why don't you even understand the grade of ginseng? Hu Hongde, an unreasonable person, had no choice but to explain the characteristics of ginseng to him.

It turns out that wild ginseng is only one compound leaf on the ground for 1-5 years, commonly known as "three flowers", and a complete five palm-shaped compound leaf can grow in 5-10 years, commonly known as "slap".

10-20 years later, the wild mountain ginseng has two palm-shaped compound leaves. Fangshan called it the "key to open the mountain", which means that finding the small twist is to find the clue to get the big goods, and there are likely to be many "sticks" nearby.

30 years later, the wild ginseng has three palm-shaped compound leaves, commonly known as "lightstand", 50 years is called "four leaves", and the wild ginseng with four leaves is often 50-80 years old.

Wild ginseng with five palm-shaped compound leaves is the "five-grade leaves" that Hu Hongde just mentioned.

The five-grade leaves are at least 80 years old, which is rare in Changbai Mountain. The head is called "a pile" in the mountain. Looking at it, you can find large and small wild mountain ginseng. There are children of 60 or 70 years, and grandchildren of 30 or 40 years.

As for the "six grades of leaves", which is more than 100 years old, it is extremely rare. It can be said that it is a rare national treasure. The people of the mountain are used to call it "a piece". According to the elder, there will be countless children and grandchildren on the whole hillside, just like an ethnic group.

Now it is wrong to see the existence of Liupinye at all in the mountains that are difficult to reach even by ginseng pickers. This is also the highest level of the existing old ginseng. Like the legendary Qipinye, Hu Hongde has not even seen it.

"Lao Hu, you said that there is a 50-year-old wild ginseng here, so it's called Sipinye?" Ye Tianxue was very fast and urged, "Point it out quickly. Let me see what the four-pin leaves look like."

"I said, how can there be no leaves this winter? Ginseng, like black bears, hibernate in winter!" Hu Hongde really didn't know whether it was right or wrong to take Ye Tian into the mountain. This boy didn't even understand any common sense about ginseng.

The annual growth period of wild ginseng is very short. The six, seven, eight and three months of the year are the peak growth season. From the beginning frost in mid-September to the end frost in mid-May of the following year, the dormant period is more than 240 days.

Such a short growth period makes wild ginseng grow and gain only about 1 gram a year. When the year is not good, it will even shrink into negative growth, which is also a major reason why wild ginseng is so valuable.

Ye Tian heard that he couldn't see the four-grade leaves, and said a little disappointedly, "Opin, let's dig out this 50-year-old plant first. By the way, the taste of wild ginseng soup is fragrant!"

Hu Hongde said hesitantly, "Ye Tian, these four leaves can still grow. Why don't I take you to dig the six leaves? That should also come out.

"Don't mind, Lao Hu, even if it can grow into five grades of leaves, how many years can you live? If you don't dig this thing, you will be dug up sooner or later!"

After hearing Hu Hongde's words, Ye Tian shook his head and thought that he could not afford to buy wild ginseng for 30 years in the medicinal material market. At present, he has 50 years. How could Ye Tian let it go?

"Ee, if you say dig, let's dig!"

Hu Hongde smiled bitterly. Fortunately, Ye Tian did not know how to distinguish ginseng. Otherwise, if he came to pick ginseng, it would definitely be a disaster in Changbai Mountain. Perhaps ginseng, deer antler and mink, the ginseng in the three treasures of Changbai Mountain, will be extin

Fifty years of wild ginseng is already in the category of dugable, and Hu Hongde did not regret much. He squatted down and cleaned up a piece of snow in front of him.

"Did you keep this?" Ye Tian saw the rhizome of a dead tree under the snow, with a red rope tied and a copper coin hanging on the red rope.

"Yes, there is my mark on it, and everyone who sees it knows that I left it."

Hu Hongde took off the red rope and handed it to Ye Tian. Ye Tian took it in his hand and saw that the words on the copper coin had been flattened, and then carved a "Hu" on it with a knife.

"Isn't ginseng all tied to ginseng? Why did you tie the rope to the tree? Ye Tian is a little confused.

"The branches and leaves on the ground of ginseng will wither this winter. Where can I find them?" Hu Hongde is extremely confused about Ye Tian's problem. Ye Tian doesn't understand the knowledge that an eight-year-old child in Changbai Mountain knows.

"Oh, according to you, this ginseng is nearby?"

After listening to Hu Hongde's words, Ye Tian understood. Suddenly, his heart moved and released the divine consciousness. This ginseng is formed by the essence of heaven and earth. Maybe he can feel it?

"Huh? Sure enough, can you find it?!" As soon as the air was released, Ye Tian sensed that the ground was less than 30 centimeters away from his left foot, which contained a strong aura.

"Lao Hu, where is the ginseng?" Ye Tian pointed to the ground.

"What? How do you know?" Hu Hongde was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. He reached into Ye Tian's bag and took out his old cigarette bag.

"You can't learn this, Lao Hu, wait, and I'll find a seven-pin leaf for you!"

Ye Tian was overjoyed to find that the divine consciousness had such a wonderful use. Although his skills were still shallow, and the divine consciousness could only sense the range of about ten meters, if he was lucky enough, he might really find some of the best old ginseng.

"How can there be a seven-grade leaf in the world?" Hu Hongde shook his head, lit the cigarette bag and smoked.

"Maybe I met it if I was lucky?" Ye Tian pushed Hu Hongde, "How can I smoke now? Get up quickly and let's pick Liupin leaves!"

"I'm afraid my hands will tremble if I don't smoke. I'll start again when I smoke this bag of cigarettes!"

Before picking ginseng, the mountain people will smoke a bag of cigarettes, which is to relieve the tension in their hearts. You know, if you accidentally break a little skin or dig a ginseng beard, the ginseng pulp will seep out, and the value will be greatly reduced.

Hu Hongde was also a mountain man in his early years. Although he later ran alone, this habit was retained, and there were many insects when picking ginseng in summer, and smoking also had the effect of deworming.

"Lao Hu, if you are afraid of shaking your hands, I'll do it." Under Ye Tian's divine consciousness, the underground ginseng beard was presented in Ye Tian's brain, and he was confident that he would never hurt a ginseng beard.

"No, Ye Tian, isn't this a joke?"

Hu Hongde was scared by Ye Tian and jumped up from the ground. He almost didn't even hold the cigarette bag. The wild ginseng of the past 50 years is relatively rare. It is worth at least 1.8 million yuan. It would be a pity if it was ruined by Ye Tian.

Hu Hongde's reaction made Ye Tian very unhappy. He said, "Lao Hu, don't you believe me? If there is a problem, I will accompany you with the money of ginseng!"
