Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

Wang Shiyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly took out a shovel and began to dig the surrounding soil. As she was digging, she found that there were many such plants around. Seeing that the old man was still picking honeysuckle, she quickly called her grandfather to help. This small piece of land was full of ginseng, and it was growing so well.

"Grandpa, come quickly, come quickly. I found some ginseng. Let's dig out the ginseng first, and then pick the others."

The old man's hands, which were picking honeysuckle, paused for a moment, then he looked in the direction of his granddaughter and discovered this small patch of ginseng. He had never seen ginseng grown in a patch before. In his impression, there were only two or three ginsengs growing together. It was really rare to see so many.

Then he put down the basket, took a small shovel and started digging the ground with his granddaughter. This forest that they had just come out of inexplicably was like a treasure house of nature, with so many medicinal herbs. Moreover, after entering, apart from the small animals that were still wandering around the periphery, no other large wild animals were seen. It was estimated that other large wild animals had not yet migrated here.

Wang Shiyu no longer cared about whether it was a wild beast or not. She was now using her small shovel to slowly dig the soil on the ground, not wanting to damage the rhizomes of the ginseng. She even dug out the whiskers slowly, trying not to let them break. Because if the whiskers broke, even if they were processed well, they would lose some of their medicinal properties and would not be able to be sold at any price.

The old man was knowledgeable and naturally knew how to dig ginseng. The two of them squatted there and dug for a long time before they dug out one. The old man was holding a ginseng and looking at it. He could almost confirm that the ginseng was definitely more than a thousand years old. This could be seen from the reed bowl at the head of the reed.

Once one is dug out, the rest will be easier to dig. These ginsengs all grow together, and they are not tied with red ropes because they are not worried about them running away. So after digging one, they will dig the next one. The rest will be easier because their roots and whiskers are all tangled together and can be dug out with a little care.

The ginseng on the ground is just like radish, you can pick up one at a time. The old man was thinking about his family. After the long journey, they must have a lot of injuries. These medicinal herbs and ginseng can be used to nourish his family. Such good tonic things should be left for his family.

Wang Shiyu was thinking that this thing was natural and had better medicinal properties than those she had collected in the space before, so she planned to not use the medicinal materials that had been processed and cultivated in her space, and instead use those that had just been dug, leaving some to continue growing in the space and then processing them when needed.

However, she decided to process the largest one so that it would be more convenient for her family to use it. The growth rate in her space is the same as that outside, but it is better than leaving it dry, and it does not lose its medicinal properties.

In this way, when you prescribe medicine for your family, it can be more effective, so you don't have to drink too much bitter soup, which will be useless.

She had not been in good health for some time, so the director's mother recommended a Chinese medicine doctor to her. When she went to see him, she said that she had a bad heart and some gynecological diseases.

Then he forced Wang Shiyu to take Chinese medicine for two months until she almost vomited. So now she doesn't want to take Chinese medicine at all. Even if she wants to take Chinese medicine, it must be one with better efficacy, otherwise she will never drink it.

The grandfather and grandson carefully dug up all the ginseng. The sun began to disappear in the sky, and it was obviously night time. They could not linger on the mountain any longer. In order not to worry their family members, they had no choice but to temporarily give up the remaining herbs on the mountain. The two of them dug up two handfuls of wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain and returned to their temporary shelter.

When they returned to the shelter, Wang Shiyu sat next to her grandmother and described the situation on the mountain to her. Her grandmother smiled and talked to her granddaughter.

"Grandma, you know what? I saw a lot of medicinal herbs, as well as various fruits and wild vegetables on the mountain. Shall we go there later?"

At this time, Second Aunt had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them to come back to eat. Second Uncle, who had been injured and looked pale, had also woken up and was lying beside them, playing with his son.

She had thrown the fresh herbs into the automatic dryer in the space for drying. Although this would cause some loss of medicinal properties, they did not have time to dry the herbs, nor could they attract other people's attention. Ginseng needed to be processed, so it was temporarily placed in a static space. Now she needed to learn how to process ginseng before she could prepare it for use.

The old man seemed very happy because he had been digging ginseng for the whole afternoon. Then he talked about the situation on the mountain during the meal. Since they couldn't get enough rest now, Second Aunt and Second Uncle both expressed their desire to go to the mountain to help, leaving Grandma to look after the two patients and Xiaoyi at home.

"No need, old man. Just now, the eldest wife Xingluo fell. Let her look after Xiaoyi. I will go with you. I will not go up the mountain. I will just pick some wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain. This way, if we don't find green vegetables later, we can still eat some wild vegetables and feel better."

When there is no food, it is good to have wild vegetables, at least you can eat your fill.

The old man thought about it and felt that there was more strength in numbers, so he drank the porridge in his hand and after dinner, the five of them started walking up the mountain together. At this time, some people also discovered the green mountain in the distance, but they were busy saving their own family members and naturally had no time to go and see it, so now only their family could go up the mountain.

They arrived at the foot of the mountain, where they saw many astragalus, herbaceous wormwood, and eucommia bark. Seeing these herbs, they squatted down and began to dig and pick them. Wang Shiyu and the old man were no longer in a hurry to pick these common herbs. Instead, they were searching the mountain for various rare herbs, as well as some plants that they had never seen before, and collected them all.

There are many things in this forest that have never been seen before. Who knows if the things that suddenly appear in the mountains will be useful in the future?

It is just like the blue-purple flower that I just picked. It looks like a lily and a peony. The petals are layered like a peony, but the petals are as big as the palm of your hand. Who has ever seen this?

It doesn't have any fragrance at all, and I kept it away for fear that it might be poisonous. I'll study its function later. Even if it's just an ornamental flower, it's very beautiful.
