  Chapter 85 Stick Finds Stick

  Early the next morning, while Brother Fei and Gangzi were still sound asleep, Liu Qingshan got up to fetch water, and grandpa Liu Shikui also started to light the fire early.

  When guests come to the house, there is a big kang, and sleeping is also troublesome.

   Fortunately, it is next to the grandfather's house, the male's family and the female's family. Liu Shikui led a group of men to sleep here.

  After the water in the pot was heated up, Gangzi and the others got up to wash up, and Lin Zhi, Liu Jinfeng and the others also came back to cook.

  Because there are visitors at home, I steamed white flour steamed buns in the morning and made old horned melon soup.

  If it were a normal day, breakfast would consist of porridge and pancakes, and some salty cucumbers pickled in sauce jars. It would basically be a meal.

  The old horned melons are picked and stored in the warehouse when the garden closes in autumn.

  When eating, peel off the outer hard shell, cut into thick slices, put some potato sticks and stew, the taste is very good.

  Even the melon seeds in the flesh of the horned melon are squeezed out one by one to dry. This kind of white melon seeds are collected by the purchase department. If you save more, you can sell them for a few cents and exchange for some oil and salt.

  After Liu Jinfeng finished feeding the chickens, he went back to the house for dinner, and asked: "Sanfeng, I heard the big yellow dog barking at home last night. Did the weasel come to pet it again?"

  She paid attention to it in the morning, and there was nothing unusual in the chicken coop, but she was still a little worried.

  Liu Qingshan shook his head: "I went out for a walk in the middle of the night, nothing happened, just eat."

  In order to reassure the eldest sister, can he say that he went out in the middle of the night and saw the weasel again at the firewood fence?

   Can you say that when you went out to fetch water in the morning, you saw another torn mouse skin beside the kennel?

   If this continues, in two days, even the big yellow dog at home will be bribed.

  Anyway, that weasel didn't have any malicious intentions, so Liu Qingshan just opened and closed his eyes to see what tricks it could come up with.

  After breakfast, everyone who went to school left, and those who went to work... It seemed that no one went to work except Yang Hongying.

  Liu Qingshan led Fei Ge and Gang Zi, followed by more than 20 young and strong, into the mountain together to pick frozen mushrooms.

  Brother Fei and Gangzi also looked very excited, especially Gangzi, who trotted all the way and rushed to the front.

   "Don't worry, take it easy."

   Liu Qingshan yelled at his back, don't be impatient when going up and down the mountain, pay attention to one step at a time, and be steady and steady.

   I saw the cabin of the dumb grandpa from a distance, and several half-grown puppies came running happily.

   Seeing that there was no big dog, Gangzi didn't run away, and was soon surrounded, and then his calf was hugged tightly.

   "This dog is good, kiss me."

  Gangzi was very happy, stretched out his hand to touch the dark dog's head, and found that the puppy was also looking up at him, with a pair of small black eyes, looking at him.

   "What breed is this dog? It looks a little weird?"

   Gangzi couldn't help asking.

  Liu Qingshan continued: "Just add a bear character after the dog."

   "Dog-bear, oh my god!"

   Gangzi was so frightened that he wanted to run away. It turned out to be a little bear. I said, why does it look like a bear?

   "It's okay, this is raised by the dumb grandpa, it doesn't bite."

   Liu Qingshan hurriedly yelled again.

   Probably hearing his voice, the little black bear immediately let go of its gang and ran towards Liu Qingshan.

  Running in a bit of a hurry, even rolling and crawling.

  Little guy, are you looking at my kiss, or the sugar kiss in my pocket?

  Liu Qingshan cheerfully peeled off a piece of candy, stuffed it into the little black bear's mouth, and then saw the dumb grandpa coming out of the wooden carving.

  He was about to wave to the dumb grandpa, but he saw an animal jumping from behind the woodcut, landed on three legs, with one front leg drooping, limping, and approached the dumb grandpa.

   "Silly roe deer!"

   Dashuai Zhang who came with him gave a loud shout.

   This is also the habit of hunters walking in the mountains and forests. When they see a roe deer, they must shout a silly roe deer.

  Because roe deer is a very curious animal and wants to study everything.

  You yell loudly, not only will they not scare them away, but they will stop and look, and then start to think: What are these two-legged people making noise?

  Occasionally, the companions may also share their experience. For example, a roe deer next to him will kindly remind the companion: "Hey, second child, that called you just now."

  Follow, one or several roe deer will fall with the roar of the shotgun.

   It can be seen that curiosity does not just kill the cat.

  Dashuai Zhang yelled, and then laughed loudly: "Today there is roe deer meat to eat, you go to work first, I will take care of this silly roe deer!"

  There is meat to eat, and everyone can't help but feel refreshed, as if they are full of energy.

   But the dumb grandpa made a few gestures, and everyone was immediately discouraged: This is a female roe deer with a cub in her belly.

  An old rule in the mountains: don’t kill the mother beast, don’t hurt the cubs.

   And the dumb grandpa is the most well-behaved type of person. In Liu Qingshan's view, the dumb grandpa is the real guardian of this forest.

   Walking closer, Gang Zi and Fei Ge looked at the roe deer curiously. It was the first time they had seen this legendary animal.

  As long as people living here have heard this old saying: beat the roe deer with a stick and scoop the fish with a scoop.

  The roe deer is right next to the dumb grandpa, it seems to be very dependent on him, and it is not very afraid of people.

  The size of the roe deer is one size smaller than that of the sika deer. It has thick khaki fur, a pair of big ears, and big eyes. It feels cute and joyful when you look at it.

   "What are you looking at?"

  Gangzi asked in a daze.

   The roe deer blinked his big eyes and continued to stare at him, probably thinking in his heart:

   What are you doing?

   "Look at it again, I'll kill you to eat meat!"

  Gangzi gestured a beheading motion with his hands, and the roe deer shook its short tail, and quickly hid behind the dumb grandpa. Everyone laughed when they saw it: This thing also knows how to find a backer!

  Liu Qingshan was also very happy: Raising roe deer is also a way to make a fortune.

  The dumb grandfather also smiled all over his face, and gestured for a while, explaining the origin of the roe deer.

   I don’t know why I broke a leg, so I was carried back by the dumb grandpa so as not to be eaten by wolves.

   "No, there are wolves in this forest?"

  Gangzi was a little scared.

  Liu Qingshan smiled: "It's okay, there are so many of us, as long as we don't leave orders."

   After finishing speaking, he took out a photo and handed it to the dumb grandpa. This is the last time he took a photo of the dumb grandpa, and it has been developed.

  Although the photo is in black and white, the dumb grandpa is standing majestically in front of the wooden carving, surrounded by a group of hounds behind him. He really looks like an old mountain god.

  If the little bear in the photo didn't hug its legs, it would be a little more imposing.

   Ho Ho Ho…

  The dumb grandfather also let out a weird laugh. He stretched out his big palm-like hand and patted Liu Qingshan's shoulder vigorously, obviously very satisfied with the photo.

   This is the first photo in his life, so it must be kept well.

  Liu Qingshan was patted by him and grinned: the dumb grandpa's hands are really strong!

  After a short stay at Mukeleng, everyone went into the forest together and started picking frozen mushrooms.

  Gangzi and Brother Dafei have opened their eyes. Everything in the forest is strange, and they keep asking this and that, and they are almost curious babies.

  No one laughed at them. Most of the city people who entered the forest for the first time were like this. Liu Qingshan reminded them a few words from time to time:

   "Be careful, it's a thorny rose fruit, it's prickly!"

  Gangzi withdrew his hand awkwardly, put his index finger in his mouth and sucked it. He saw a small bush hanging on a small red fruit, so he couldn't help picking it, but was pricked.

   "Be careful, that thing is red mushroom girl, bitter, bitter, things in the forest, don't taste it casually!"

  Liu Qingshan discovered it a little too late, Brother Da Fei's face was almost turning into a bitter melon, who knew that the round, red fruit was actually more bitter than gall.

   "It's okay, this thing eats the fire, you can pick some, go back and wear it into a big string, save it in winter to soak in water to drink, to reduce inflammation and fire."

  Liu Qingshan comforted, while searching for mushrooms, he also picked off the red mushroom girl he met.

   This kind of plant is just over one foot tall, and it can be seen everywhere in the forest, covered with a layer of red skin.

   It looks similar to the yellow mushrooms grown in the garden. As for the taste, whoever eats it knows.

  After suffering, Brother Fei and Gangzi didn't dare to mess around any more, and asked first if they saw anything strange.

  Gangzi was still muttering: "Mount Guandong, three treasures, ginseng, mink, catharsis, Qingshan, what does this ginseng look like?"

   Everyone knows the appearance of ginseng, but what they know is the roots buried in the ground. As for the appearance of the branches and leaves above, most people have never seen it.

Liu Qingshan gave them a brief introduction, and he stretched out his palm and shook it: "The leaves of ginseng only have three leaves in the first year, we call them Sanhuazi, and five leaves will grow in the second year. It’s small, so it’s called Horseshoe.”

   "In the third year, two branches will grow, and each branch will also have five leaves. At this time, it is called Erjiazi."

   "In the fourth year, there will be three branches, which are called lampstands. After that, one more branch will be added every year, and they will be called four leaves, and some will be called four leaves, five leaves, and six leaves."

   "This is just a case of normal artificial cultivation. Because wild ginseng grows extremely slowly, and will encounter various accidents in the forest, it will take five to ten years to grow into horseshoes."

   "It takes ten to twenty years for the two branches to grow into Erjiazi. This is also called the key to the mountain, which means that if you find it, you may find a big product."

   "Thirty years later, the wild ginseng will be divided into three branches and grow into a lampstand."

   "Wild ginseng with fourth-grade leaves usually takes 50 to 80 years to grow. As for the sixth-grade leaves, it will definitely not grow if it is less than a hundred years old."

   "So experienced mountaineers can roughly judge the year by looking at the branches on the ginseng."

He said it in more detail, but the two brothers were still confused, and Gangzi was still muttering: "If there is a real object for reference, it will be easier to understand, it is best to come to a six-rank leaf .”

   "How about the six-pin leaves, do you think wild ginseng is Chinese cabbage, you can see it if you want to?"

  Liu Qingshan was also amused by this kid, so he simply stopped talking to him.

  Gangzi didn't give up, he took a small wooden stick and pulled it back and forth in the grass nest.

  Suddenly, there was a strange cry: "Band!"

   This is also what he just learned. When he finds wild ginseng, he must shout a club, so as to calm the ginseng and prevent it from running away.

  The people around were immediately attracted, Zhang Dashuai was still muttering: "Damn it, can this stick really find a big stick?"

   Bangchui has two meanings in the local area, one refers to wild ginseng, and the other refers to a layman who knows nothing about a certain industry, which can also be called "bangchui".

  Gangzi really found a clump of withered yellow leaves that looked like a palm, and excitedly stretched out his hands to pick them up, but he cried out and got a lot of thorns on his hands.

  Liu Qingshan leaned over and took a look: "Brother, you are really a mallet. You use Acanthopanax as wild ginseng. I really admire you!"
