The Little Lucky Girl

Ming Youyou took the people from Xiaguan Village to Songshan, and everyone roughly knew how to find Fuling.

To put it simply, it means digging downwards along the roots of the pine tree.

Originally, the young people wanted to take on this work, because it takes a long time to walk from the village to Songshan, and it would take a lot of time to take the elderly with them to stop and rest along the way.

But the old people refused to agree. Although they didn't understand herbal medicine, when they heard Ming Youyou say that Poria cocos was also a kind of fungus, they thought that it should rely on pine trees to survive.

The young men were clumsy and dug without any care. They didn't know how many pine tree roots would be damaged. They had to keep an eye on it.

By the way, this mountain now has a name. In the past, everyone called it "Nasha Mountain" with a little disdain, but now they call it Xiaosong Mountain affectionately. Some elders wanted to call it Songbao Mountain, but they were afraid that outsiders would ask what treasures there were, so they agreed to this name.

Village chief Guo looked happily at the black balls that filled half of the yard, as if he saw hundreds of chickens running around in front of him.

Seeing Ming Youyou coming over after school, he immediately waved and called her over, "What do you think we should do with this Poria cocos?"

Ming Youyou scratched his head. "It's not something you can learn by just talking about it. If you're not careful, the ingredients will end up being wasted. Why don't you sell it to the pharmacy, or to my grandpa? We also use a lot of Poria cocos in our facial cream."

Village Chief Guo glared at her and said, "Since your family can use it, why do you still want to open a medicine store? I will send it all to your grandfather tomorrow."

"Have you sold them all? Don't you want to keep some for seeds?" Ming Youyou felt that these Poria cocos grew well and should prefer the ones in Songshan.

Village chief Guo was surprised, "Can this thing be grown?" Shouldn't it be like mushrooms, grown naturally and naturally?

Ming Youyou thought about it and said affirmatively: "You can plant it. Cut it into small pieces and bury it under the pine trees, just like planting seeds. Our village has planted it all over the surrounding mountains."

Seeing that Village Chief Guo's eyes were shining, she chuckled and said, "Whether it can be planted or not depends on God's will. But the village chief said that if one out of ten can grow, it won't be a loss for everyone."

Village Chief Guo was a little hesitant when he heard that even if they planted the crops, it would still depend on God's will. But when he thought about how Village Chief Shi had already planted the crops, he immediately decided, "Then we will plant them too."

Doesn't he know Lao Shi well? He is a person who will not do anything without profit and he will not do business that will lose money.

He rummaged through the Poria cocos plants on the ground and picked out a dozen or so that were the fullest. Then, after thinking it over, he gritted his teeth and decided to leave one-third for seeds.

The next day he drove a ox cart to Dafeng Village.

Village chief Guo comes frequently and is a familiar figure in Dafeng Village. Half of the people in the village know him.

But when people looked at him in the past, they always felt that he was a poor relative who came to ask for money. Everyone knew that Boss Ming often helped his sworn brothers.

But now everyone is much more enthusiastic.

"Old Guo, you haven't been here for a long time. Come out and chat with us later."

"Uncle Guo, my chickens are almost grown. I will send them to your village someday."

"My Yue family has a kind of thin bamboo shoots that are very fragrant when stewed. Would you like to try it?"

Village Chief Guo listened happily and said, "Okay, okay, send some to our village later. We will accept them if they are suitable."

When Village Chief Shi heard that Lao Guo was coming, he didn't even bother to wash his feet after leaving the fields, and rushed to the village in his slippers.

Village Chief Guo was discussing with Grandpa Yang about when he would go over to give them guidance. When he saw Village Chief Shi coming, he stopped talking out of guilt, as he always felt that they were stealing the business of Dafeng Village by growing medicinal herbs.

Unexpectedly, Village Chief Shi didn't mind at all. "If you want to plant, don't just focus on one mountain. Why not plant everywhere where there are pine trees?"

"Let me tell you, it takes more than ten years for the Poria cocos to grow to be presentable. If you plant dozens of mountains, you can dig one a year in the future. This way you can make money every year and save a fortune for your descendants."

Village Chief Guo was stunned when he heard this, and slapped his thigh and said, "Brother, you are right, you really think long-term."

Village Chief Shi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "But this will take a lot of effort. The people in your village have to look after the tea stalls and collect the goods. If they keep running all over the mountain, I'm afraid there won't be enough people."

Village Chief Guo suddenly felt familiar. He took out his pipe and smoked slowly. "So what does that mean, brother?"

"How about we send a few young men from our village to help you? This kind of medicinal material requires delicate work. You are new to it, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions. The people in our village are used to it. With them guiding you, you will feel more confident, right?"

Village chief Guo did not agree immediately. This meant that he was 100% confident in what the old man said; but this old Shi was really... He was afraid that there was some trap in it.

Seeing this, Old Man Ming asked Village Chief Shi to go back first. He said to Village Chief Guo, "Old Shi's suggestion is very good."

Seeing that Village Chief Guo was hesitant to speak, he laughed and said, "But he does have selfish motives. He is jealous of the craftsmanship of your villagers and wants to see if he can let these guys take advantage of the opportunity to find some wives."

He asked Village Chief Guo to relax and said, "Don't force it. If you like those kids, just observe them more. If you don't like them, don't bring them to the village. Just send them back after the work is done."

Village chief Guo started to think in his mind that the children in the village would eventually get married, and it would be nice if they could marry into Dafeng Village. You know, because of growing medicinal herbs, Dafeng Village is one of the best villages in the area. In the past, they might not be able to become relatives of others.

Now, it was Lao Shi and the others who were in charge. Village Chief Guo was very happy and said generously, "Don't worry about what happens next. Anyway, these young people have helped us. When the time comes, the Poria cocos we find will be divided equally between the two villages."

When Ming Youyou and his friends came back from school, they were stopped by people from Xiaguan Village who were waiting for them on the official road. They were asked to take them back to the village for a banquet.

After entering the yard of the village chief's house, Ming Youyou discovered that several young men from their Dafeng Village were being forced to drink alcohol in turns.

The great uncle and a group of clan elders watched with great joy, and occasionally whispered to each other and made comments.

Ming Youyou was surprised and ran to Guo Ren and asked, "What's going on?"

Guo Ren said: "Those big brothers have done a lot of work for us. We think we can't let them go back hungry. They must have a bowl of wine before leaving."

It is indeed a courtesy to ask for help, but Ming Youyou always felt that something was wrong, "Everyone seems to be too enthusiastic."

Guo Ren glanced secretly at his grandfather. He heard everything when Village Chief Guo told the elders about the plan for Dafeng Village. Seeing that his grandfather had no objection, he spoke out in a low voice.

Ming Youyou said with emotion: "The village chief is really generous. He sent the most handsome people in our village."
