Chapter 290 Sixth Grade Leaf

Wild ginseng prefers yin to yang, prefers dryness to wetness, but it does not work well without any light or moisture.

Therefore, wild ginseng generally grows in coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest belts. It needs to be in a clear forest with a certain amount of light. It will not work if it is less, and it will not work if it is too much.

Moreover, there must be a water source nearby. It is not enough to be close to the water source, but it is not enough to be far away.

Wild ginseng is such a plant that is very picky and harsh on the environment, which is why wild ginseng is so valuable.

One is that the medicine is highly effective and has the effect of reviving death. The other is that the resources are too scarce and very rare.

The forest where the four masters of the Sheng family came is an unlogged mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest.

Although there are shrubs and weeds under the forest, they are not that noisy. There are no needle plants, only some small shrubs and wormwood.

Moreover, not far from here, there is a small river.

Taken together, it is indeed possible for this mountain forest to produce large quantities of goods. Of course, no one knows whether there is any, and one has to look for it carefully.

Following Sheng Xiping's instructions, the gentlemen were around the tree stump, pulling at the weeds on the ground with their sow sticks and looking at them carefully.

Just when Sheng Xiping was pushing away a clump of tall grass with his Soba stick, he was suddenly attracted by a flash of red in front of him.

Not far in front of the tall grass, there was a ginseng seed as big as a baby's fist, bright red and as eye-catching as a coral bead.

"Bangchui." Sheng Xiping was very happy and shouted hurriedly.

"How many grades of leaves?" Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xi'an were shocked when they heard this. They looked towards Sheng Xiping and asked eagerly.

Sheng Xiping looked down at the ginseng seed and saw six palm-shaped compound leaves on a green-purple stem separated from six branches.

"Six-grade leaves." Sheng Xiping responded happily.

"Hurry up, hurry up." The three men shouted together. "how many?"

This is learning and selling now. They heard Sheng Xiping ask this question yesterday, and they also learned to ask it today.

Sheng Xiping was happy when he heard this. He drew his treasure stick forward and said loudly, "It's all over the mountain."

Sheng Liancheng and the others didn't understand the meaning of the words "the mountains are full of mountains". They thought that the mountains were really full of mountains, so they rushed over in a hurry.

When I came closer, I saw, oh, what a big ginseng seed. The ginseng underneath was not even small.

"Brother, didn't you say it's all over the mountain?" Sheng Xian, the idiot, looked left and right. There was only one ginseng like this. How could it be all over the mountain? I couldn't help but asked.

Sheng Xiping gave his younger brother a blank look, "From now on, if you don't know how to talk, just stop talking and don't talk nonsense."

As Sheng Xiping spoke, he took out the mallet lock and stuck the Soba stick on the ground as he did yesterday, and wrapped the ginseng with the mallet lock.

"Go and wander around here. If you don't protect everything, you can still see a mallet."

The sixth-grade leaves are quite old. Logically speaking, there should be scattered ginseng seeds sprouting around. There can also be a few erijiazi, lampstands and the like. If they are not kept intact, there may also be fourth-grade leaves and the like.

Sheng Xiping was anxious to carry the ginseng, so he ordered his brothers to take a look around and stop talking nonsense.

Sheng Xi'an didn't quite understand that what he said was wrong, but since the elder brother gave the order, they had to do it.

So, the two brothers Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang were wandering around with treasure sticks in their hands.

Sheng Liancheng took a look and saw that his son took out tools such as deer bone picks, quick scissors, and quick knives. This was intended to lift the ginseng.

He couldn't do much to help, so he quickly took the ax and saw and went around to cut firewood, make fires, and smoke out mosquitoes.

In this way, the four masters each perform their duties and do their own thing.

Sheng Xiping carefully followed the stems down, pushing aside the turf and soil, pulling away the soil with slight movements, and digging down bit by bit.

Over there, Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang walked around twice, but found nothing, so they came back again.

Sheng Xian didn't dare to move closer to her eldest brother, so she went to help her father work.

Sheng Xikang was flexible and squatted beside his brother, watching his elder brother lift the ginseng. From time to time, I would use my sleeve to wipe the sweat on my brother's forehead.

Sheng Xikang was particularly discerning. When he saw Sheng Xiping pulling out the grass roots, he immediately handed over the scissors.

When he saw a tree root nearby, without Sheng Xiping's instructions, he immediately chopped off the root with an ax and moved it aside.

As Sheng Xiping carried the ginseng out, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Brothers in the same family, with the same father and mother, can develop different personalities.

The second child is pure and stupid, and the second child is stupid. He has to be more serious about everything he encounters and doesn't know how to beat around the bush.

No wonder, this kid almost went crazy because he couldn't get into college in his previous life.

With such a stubborn mind, it would be strange if he didn't go crazy when he encountered setbacks.

In comparison, the third child was smarter and more tactful in dealing with things. If the college entrance examination didn't work, he immediately chose other paths instead of getting into trouble.

According to the personalities of these two brothers, the best way out for the second brother in the future is to engage in scientific research.

With his attitude of getting to the bottom of things and not giving up until he achieves his goal, he might actually be able to research something.

As for the third child, he has a wide range of choices. No matter which industry he is in, if he is discerning and clever enough, he can do well in it.

Sheng Xiping was thinking in his mind, but his hands kept pulling away the soil carefully.

This ginseng tree looks quite big. It grows quite deep in the ground and has a long reed head.

You can see that the upper half of the reed bowl is very clear, but in the lower half, the reed bowl is almost invisible. That is because it has been slowly squeezed flat over the years.

Going down the reed head, the shoulders and ding beard were gradually exposed. Sheng Xiping did not dare to be careless and first lifted out the ding beard bit by bit.

When he saw Ding Xu's direction, Sheng Xiping turned his head and looked over there.

After remembering the direction, he covered both the small and thin beards with wet soil, and then continued to remove the soil to expose all the ginseng shoulders and heads.

"This guy is several times thicker than my thumb."

Sheng Liancheng was also watching from the side. When he saw the shoulders and head exposed, he exclaimed. This was the first time he had seen such a big ginseng.

"Well, the leaves of this sixth-grade seedling are not small. They have been growing for hundreds of years. Dad, let's pay for it this time." Sheng Xiping laughed when he heard it.

When he killed the snake last year, he made a plan in his mind and thought that there would be a treasure by touching it.

But with so many people following him at that time, Zhou Qinglan was so frightened that she didn't even bother to go into the mountain.

Later, the work team had work, including demolishing fences and delivering firewood to the Zhou family, followed by visiting the young people and protecting them. Sheng Xiping was stunned that he couldn't spare the time to come back and take a look again.

This year he really couldn't hold it in any longer. Taking advantage of the fact that the work team was not working at the moment, he had to go into the mountains to take a look no matter where he was.

Unexpectedly, this Mao Meng'er came over and actually took it out.

Yesterday, the Erjiazi seedling was a reincarnated ginseng, and today I encountered a sixth-grade leaf seedling.

I don’t know the exact size of this seedling at the moment, but looking at the exposed shoulders and the ginseng seeds on the top, this seedling must have six-pin leaves that are not small.

Sure enough, people say it is the first time that a child has good luck.

The four of them, except Sheng Xiping, are all juniors. No one else has such luck.

This ginseng tree is much bigger than the one yesterday, so it takes a lot of effort to lift it.

It was only nine o'clock when Sheng Xiping and others arrived here. It was already twelve o'clock at noon, and less than half of the ginseng was exposed.

"Boss, stop and take a rest. Let's get a meal first and rest.

I'm afraid I can't lift such a big ginseng in one breath. No matter what happens, let's fill our stomach first. "

Sheng Liancheng looked at the watch on his wrist and asked his son to stop and rest.

Sheng Xiping was tired from working all day long.

Although there is no strong sun in the woods, it is still very hot at this time.

In addition, Sheng Xiping was concentrating on lifting the ginseng without being distracted. He was highly concentrated and coordinated with his hands and eyes. This kind of lifting was actually very physically demanding.

As soon as Sheng Liancheng said to get the food, Sheng Xiping took a deep breath and stopped what he was doing, then sat down on the ground.

"Oh my God, I'm so tired this afternoon."

Sheng Xikang and Sheng Xian quickly stepped forward, helped his brother up, and sat down aside.

Then they took out the pancakes, pickles, miso, etc. they carried on their backs. The few of them didn't care about them, just rolled up the pancakes with whatever they wanted and started eating.

Sheng Xiping didn't wash his hands. He just rubbed it with the leaves of a nearby tree a few times, then took the pancakes handed over by his father and started to eat them.

While chewing, Sheng Xiping recalled what his master said when he followed him into the mountains.

Suddenly, something came to mind. Sheng Xiping didn't care about it and stood up from the ground.

Holding the pancake in his hand, he walked in the direction he was looking at before, mumbling something while walking.

"Dad, what was my brother doing? Isn't he eating? Why did he get up and leave?"

Sheng Xian was curious. Was his brother suffering from fatigue? Why don't you just leave right after eating? It seems that he is still mumbling something, what is going on?

Sheng Liancheng didn't understand either, but he believed in his son. Sheng Xiping was definitely not someone who just idled around and made mysteries. There must be a reason for what he did.

"Hush, your brother doesn't know what to think, so don't interrupt him by talking nonsense."

Sheng Liancheng waved his hand towards his second son and whispered.

When Sheng Xi'an heard this, she didn't dare to say anything else. She just held the big pancake in her mouth and looked at her brother's actions in front of her.

I saw Sheng Xiping gesticulating as he walked, walking more than thirty steps forward, then stopped and reached out to stir the grass in front of him.

Then, the father and son heard Sheng Xiping shout, "Bang Chui."

The three grandfathers were immediately dumbfounded.

Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang were wandering around here just now, but they didn't find anything. How come Sheng Xiping found Bang Chui just after muttering and gesticulating?

"How many leaves?" After all, Sheng Liancheng was older and had experienced a lot, so he quickly regained his senses and hurriedly took over.

"Five-grade leaves." Over there, Sheng Xiping stood up the branches on the stalk and replied loudly.

"Hurry up, hurry up." This time Sheng Liancheng didn't ask how many there were, he grabbed the big pancake and ran forward.

When he came to his son, he stared at the plant in front of him, dumbfounded. "Son, how did you find this ginseng tree?"

Sheng Xiping scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "I'm also a fool.

When I went up the mountain, I heard Master say it. I was young at the time and didn’t take it seriously.

Just now I suddenly remembered something and tried to look for it. Unexpectedly, I actually found it. "

Liu Changde's skills were passed down from his father-in-law Qin Sanpao. The older generation had lived in the mountains all their lives and had some tricks that outsiders would understand.

Sheng Xiping didn't quite understand it either. He just had an idea and followed the instructions passed down by his master to look for it. Unexpectedly, he actually found it.

As long as you can find Bang Chui, who cares how you found it?

Sheng Liancheng was so happy that he hurriedly lowered his head to find something, trying to lock the fifth-grade leaf of the seedling in front of him.

But there is only one set of mallet locks, and they are still tied to the ginseng tree. What to do? Anxious Sheng Liancheng searched everywhere but couldn't find any useful household items.

"Dad, what are you looking for?" Sheng Xiping felt strange when he saw his father looking around anxiously and asked hurriedly.

"I'm looking for something to tie this ginseng down so it doesn't run away."

In the ginseng stories handed down from ancient times, ginseng is said to be spiritual.

When you encounter a ginseng, you must first yell to make the ginseng tremble in fear, and then tie it with a red rope so that the ginseng cannot escape.

Now that they don't have the red rope in their hands, Sheng Liancheng is worried, what if the seedling ginseng also runs away?

Sheng Xiping laughed when he heard this, "Dad, don't be afraid, Shen can't run away." As he said this, Sheng Xiping took out the belt from his waist.

Sheng Xiping had just been married a few months ago, and the belt around his waist was made of red cloth.

Just in time, I started to tear off a small strip and tied it to the ginseng stem.

There are green weeds and shrubs all around. The fifth leaf of the seedling has a bright red ginseng seed on its head, and a red cloth is tied on the stem, which is very eye-catching.

"Let's go back to eat first. Finish the meal quickly so that you have the strength to carry the ginseng."

When Sheng Liancheng saw his son tied up the ginseng with a red cloth strip, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to drag Sheng Xiping back to eat.

"Dad, don't worry, I'll walk around here a few more times, there must be more around here."

Sheng Xiping shook his head. This was obviously a piece of ginseng in front of him. He didn't know how many there were, but it was definitely not just these two.

Now that I'm here, I must look for as many trees as I can find, otherwise wouldn't my trip be in vain?

Sheng Liancheng was dumbfounded when he heard it, "Huh? Are you still looking for it? Is there still one around here?" Isn't it? We have already seen a sixth-grade leaf and a fifth-grade leaf. How can we still have one?

"Dad, you don't understand. Six-pin leaves are very old, and there must be ginseng seeds that have fallen around and grown again.

As far as the Shen Gang is concerned, such a place is called Laotunzi. I think we haven’t found the center of Laotunzi yet. I’ll look for it again. "

Sheng Xiping didn't give up. He always felt that there should be a lot of ginseng around here, and he had to look for it carefully.

Sheng Liancheng can't beat his son, what can he do? We can only call Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang over.

The four men were lined up in a row with soba sticks in their hands, and they kept using the soba sticks to push away weeds and shrubs, looking for traces of ginseng.

Suddenly, just in front of Sheng Xi'an, a pheasant flew up.

Sheng Xian was startled, and she opened her mouth and shouted, "Pheasant." After saying that, Sheng Xian dropped the treasure stick and rushed towards the pheasant.

Sheng Xiping looked up at the sky and was speechless. Why did he bring this idiot into the mountain?

There are rules for releasing the mountain. During the process of releasing the mountain, no random words or shouting are allowed, unless you see a stick. If you shout anything else, you must hold what you see.

For example, if you see mushrooms, you have to pick up all the mushrooms. Even if you see a snake, you have to catch the snake.

Sheng Xi'an, a fool, didn't say anything when he saw the pheasant, but he even rushed towards the pheasant.

Do you really think you can catch a pheasant with your bare hands? Oops, how can we fix it? It made the kid so worried.

Just when Sheng Xiping wanted to speak but didn't know how to say it, he suddenly heard Sheng Xian's ouch, and his brother suddenly disappeared from his eyes.
