Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

Chen Changfan glanced around and seeing that no one was paying attention, he took out the purple Ganoderma lucidum without hesitation.

The other party was just a woman, and he was watching her right in front of him. If she had any bad intentions, he could easily kill her with just one knife.

Yunniang took it carefully, held it in her palm and looked at it carefully, as if she was looking at a fragile work of art.

"It really is purple Ganoderma! This is the first time I've gotten the real thing... This rich medicinal fragrance makes me feel refreshed after just one whiff!"

Looking at Yunniang's somewhat intoxicated expression, Chen Changfan couldn't help but feel a little funny.

That's not the scent of precious medicine, it's the scent of silver...

Chen Changfan naturally wouldn't believe that one could magically feel refreshed just by taking a whiff of it.

Maybe that kind of precious medicine really exists, but it should be a precious medicine like the hundred-year-old wild ginseng or the mysterious Tai Sui.

Yunniang looked at it for a while, then solemnly handed it back to Chen Changfan, her face once again showing a big sister expression:

"You are quite frank, kid. Since you let me see the precious medicine, I will take you with me when we find the medicine field."

Chen Changfan was surprised, "There are medicinal fields in this wild mountain?"

"They are not planted by others, but are a whole field of herbs, just like rice fields, connected together. We call them medicinal fields."

In the deep mountains and old forests, if herbs have not been picked for many years, they will spontaneously extend their roots and often grow into a large area.

These herbalists who go deep into the North Mountain come here for this kind of medicinal field.

"You said you went into the mountains to collect herbs, why didn't you buy a shovel?"

Seeing that Chen Changfan had nothing in his hands, Yunniang took out two medicine shovels from her backpack.

A medicine shovel with a shiny color, obviously a newly bought medicine shovel.

There was also a somewhat tattered medicine shovel, which looked like it had been used for a long time.

Yunniang hesitated for a moment, but finally handed over the new shovel. "Fortunately, I bought a new shovel today, otherwise you would have to dig with your hands!"

Chen Changfan's eyes flashed, he took the shovel and thanked him seriously.

The two continued to walk deeper for an hour, and Yunniang only dug up a few small medicinal plants.

Chen Changfan shoveled from time to time, and soon his backpack was half full of herbs.

"Haha, newcomers always have some bad luck. You're just luckier than me today."

The corners of Yunniang's mouth twitched, and she gritted her teeth to comfort herself.

"Yunniang is right. We usually call this the novice protection period."

Chen Changfan was afraid that the backpack would be full early, so he was too lazy to dig it up unless he saw some valuable herbs.

Yunniang, on the other hand, discovered several medicinal herbs in succession, and her jealous expression finally looked a little better.

"Keep your eyes open, the medicinal field is probably nearby."

Yunniang dug out two Polygonum multiflorum plants in a row, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

"It's a pity that the soil here is too difficult to dig, otherwise these two pieces of Polygonum multiflorum could be sold for five taels of silver!"

Yunniang worked for a long time, but accidentally dug up the Polygonum multiflorum and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Polygonum multiflorum nourishes the liver and kidneys, improves essence and blood, blackens hair, and strengthens bones and muscles. It is a precious herb.

However, its roots are buried deep in the ground and look very similar to soil clods, so they can be dug up if you are not careful.

Like ginseng, the price of broken Polygonum multiflorum will be greatly discounted.

It would be good if these two pieces of Polygonum multiflorum could be sold for two taels of silver.

"It's broken, so what? Who among the herbalists in this mountain can guarantee that they will continue to dig up Polygonum multiflorum? It's more important to find a herbal field."

Yunniang was very good at reassuring herself. She threw the Polygonum multiflorum into the backpack behind her and continued to search.

"Yunniang, is this a medicinal field?"

Seeing Yunniang walking further and further away, Chen Changfan pointed in another direction and said.

He had already discovered the small medicinal field a long time ago and wanted to wait for Yunniang to find it herself, but who knew that the woman would look further and further away and was about to pass by the medicinal field. He finally couldn't help but remind her.

"You're just a newcomer, and you can actually recognize a medicinal field? I'm afraid you mistook wild grass for medicinal herbs, right?"

Yunniang felt a little amused and strode over. She bent down and casually pulled a handful of grass leaves.

I plan to explain to this newcomer how to distinguish between medicinal herbs and weeds.

"Look at this grass. Although the leaves are long and round, and the stems are twisted, it does look a bit like Polygonum multiflorum, but if you look closely...eh?"

Her voice stopped abruptly, and she looked at the leaf in her hand in surprise.

Then he looked at the large field of Polygonum multiflorum in front of him, his eyes widened in shock and he was speechless for a moment.

"This is Polygonum multiflorum, a large field of Polygonum multiflorum!"

Yunniang's voice was trembling, and she quickly covered her mouth and glanced around, as if she was afraid that others would hear her.

Seeing that no one around noticed this place, Yunniang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If this medicinal field was seen by others, it would naturally be snatched away.

Now that there are only the two of them, they can slowly dig for herbs.

"Well, Brother Chen, you discovered this medicinal field. Please select the medicinal herbs first, and then I will start digging."

Yunniang signaled Chen Changfan to first select the largest and best medicinal herbs to dig. These medicinal herbs are often the oldest roots in the medicinal field, with the best medicinal effects and the highest value.

Whoever discovers the medicinal field will have priority in collecting the herbs.

Of course, everyone in the herb-picking team has a share, and if fellow herb-picking people come to dig herbs, they cannot stop them.

After all, this is a gift from the mountains, and I can’t keep it all to myself.

This is an unwritten rule in the herbal medicine business. Yunniang did not take advantage of the fact that the other party was a newcomer to fool him, but instead seriously explained the rules to Chen Changfan.

Chen Changfan nodded, then looked around the medicinal field and locked his eyes on a Polygonum multiflorum plant on the west side.

This plant of Polygonum multiflorum does not appear to have the most lush branches and leaves, but the leaves are quite dark in color, which does not seem to be anything special at first glance.

"I'll choose this one." Chen Changfan said, and started digging.

Yunniang nodded and also picked a herb and dug it up.

歘欻欻!

The shovel danced, the soil flew, and the two men immediately started digging.

After a while, Yunniang was the first to dig out a palm-sized Polygonum multiflorum. She wiped the wet mud on it, and her regular appearance turned into a clown face, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her face:

"Hahaha! This Polygonum multiflorum is so big, I guess it can be sold for five taels of silver!"

Yunniang couldn't stop laughing. She saw Chen Changfan still digging there, and even dug out a big hole, but he didn't take out the medicine.

Yunniang shook her head and couldn't help curling her lips.

"Newbies are still no match for you. You're lucky, but digging for herbs is a skill, and you need to practice!"

As he was speaking, Chen Changfan suddenly stood up. He was in the pit with only half of his body exposed. Yunniang only saw that he was holding a large piece of Polygonum multiflorum root in his hand, and could not see the whole appearance of the root.

"Alright, you dug up such a big piece! This piece should be worth ten taels of silver!"

She nodded in appreciation and continued to dig for herbs.

Hearing this, Chen Changfan looked at the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum in his hand, with a strange look on his face.

"Only ten taels of silver?"
