Chapter 89: Wild Gastrodia
Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun cleared the weeds a little and began to excavate.
At this time, the small shovel in Qiao Xiaoru's hand was not so powerful, the soil was relatively hard, and it took a big hoe to be handy.
It's just that carrying a big hoe from such a big place doesn't seem to be very cost-effective!
Qiao Xiaoru had no choice but to take her time.
Later, she came up with a way to let the foolish husband dig with sharpened bamboo first, and then use a small shovel to shovel little by little, so as not to hurt the stems.
The dug gastrodia stems are full and firm, more than ten centimeters long, oblong, with a faint medicinal fragrance.
Such gastrodia stems are absolutely superb in modern times!
Although I don't know the specific price at this time, this is a good thing that has grown in the Barberry Mountains for I don't know how many years, and the price will definitely not be low!
It's just that this day hemp is big, and the space occupied is also large, it seems that he hasn't dug up much, a big bag is full, and the bag is full of weight, Qiao Xiaoru can't even lift it!
Well, according to visual measurements, it must be at least two hundred pounds......
Qiao Xiaoru glanced at the foolish husband, she was really happy and sad......
It took less than half a day to fill the two big pockets that the two of them would have brought, so they had to go back first.
The fool is a burden, easy and easy, and his steps are like flying.
It was still early, and the two of them sent their things back to the cave, intending to go out for a walk.
Still walking in the direction where the wild gastrodia was discovered, Qiao Xiaoru felt that since good things were found on that road so quickly, there might be good things if he walked further!
As it turned out, her choices and instincts were simply too wise!
Because just before the place where Tianma was found, Qiao Xiaoru found that the entire mountain was overgrown with tea trees!
This is not a tea tree used for ornamental camellias, but a tea tree that bears tea seeds and can be used to extract oil!
Tea seed oil is the healthiest edible oil, with many benefits, and there is no part of the whole body that is not good! And it is also an excellent thing to dispel poison, bitten by mosquitoes, centipedes, ants, burns, nameless swelling and poison, skin ringworm, baby eczema, diaper, acne, etc., as long as you apply a little raw tea oil, it can play a good healing role!
In addition, it is also very effective for constipation! Bleeding from the internal organs can also stop bleeding by taking two spoons of raw tea oil.
Qiao Xiaoru really didn't say anything about this joy! I didn't expect there to be such good things in this barberry mountain!
Tea seed trees bloom every winter and ripen in autumn, which is the time when the fruit is ripe.
Take it back to squeeze the oil, and the oil for a year is enough to eat! It's just the right way to save money on oil.
Qiao Xiaoru thought beautifully.
Qiao Xiaoru pointed to this large camellia tree and smiled at the foolish man: "Fool, remember this place, we will come again in the future!" ”
She has already decided to come and dig some saplings to plant next year. You don't have to worry about using oil in the future!
At this time, the tea peaches wrapped in tea seeds have ripened and burst open the skin, and the grass on the ground is rolling down the thumb-sized black, or black-gray bright and oily round, or one-petal tea seeds.
Qiao Xiaoru pulled the foolish husband to squat, and quickly picked up the tea seeds and threw them into the small back basket. Fill a basket and pour it into a large pocket.
Although there are many tea seeds, they are too small after all, and it is quite troublesome to pick them up.
In the tea seed forest planted artificially in later generations, the weeds are cleared, and a longzi is raised at an interval in the tea forest, so that after the tea seeds on the tea tree within the range of this longzi fall, you only need to sweep all the tea seeds to the longzi with a bamboo broom, and then use a bamboo sieve to sift out the impurities, and you can get clean tea seeds.
But at present, Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun can't use so many tools, so they can only rely on their hands.
Fortunately, there are a lot of tea seeds here, and sometimes Qiao Xiaoru throws away the leaves, branches, mud blocks, etc., and directly holds the tea seeds one by one into the back basket, and the speed has also accelerated a lot.
The two of them were busy until the beginning of twilight, and the harvest was quite rich, and they made two large bags full of them, not to mention three or four hundred catties.
However, according to the calculation that 100 catties of tea seeds can squeeze 156, 178 catties of oil, these two big bags can take 60 catties of oil.
Sixty catties of oil, you can eat almost a year.
It's just that if you want to squeeze oil, this little catechin seed is a bit less, and other workshops may not be willing to help her make it. Qiao Xiaoru planned not to go to a new place tomorrow, and still came here to pick up tea seeds.
"Fool, this Funiu Mountain is really a treasure of feng shui! I didn't expect there to be so many goodies! Qiao Xiaoru was full of joy and just wanted to share it with the foolish husband.
The foolish man said stupidly, "Hmm! The misty eyes glanced at Qiao Xiaoru, and grinned: "It's good if the daughter-in-law says it's good!" ”
Qiao Xiaoru was in the excitement of picking up the baby, and she didn't bother with the stupid words of the foolish husband, she still smiled and said: "Alas, it's a pity, stay tomorrow for another day, and we should go home the day after tomorrow!" If you don't go back, my mother and the little bean sprouts will only be worried! Life flies so fast in the mountains! ”
Before I knew it, it would be four days, including today, and I would be able to stay for another day at most tomorrow, and I would have to go back the day after tomorrow.
As soon as Qiao Xiaoru said to go back, the foolish husband was also a little homesick, and said Hanhan: "My mother and brother will miss us, let's go back first!" ”
If the daughter-in-law still wants to come in the future, he will accompany the daughter-in-law again!
"Well, we'll come back when we're free!" Qiao Xiaoru said with a smile.
Early the next morning, Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun continued to pick up tea seeds.
Picking up a big bag, Qiao Xiaoru just tied the mouth of the bag tightly, stood up straight and stretched her waist, and when she moved her body to rest and fight again, Silly Fujun suddenly pulled her and ran.
"Fool, what are you doing!" Qiao Xiaoru was taken aback by the sudden behavior of the foolish husband!
His hand was gripping his own hand as if he couldn't break free at all, and she couldn't help herself, so she could only run after him.
"Shhhh Don't talk to your daughter-in-law! The fool whispered.
Qiao Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the foolish man's expression was full of seriousness and seriousness, his face was flushed, and his thin lips were pursed, as if he was facing a great enemy.
"What's wrong, what's wrong...... Qiao Xiao's consciousness couldn't help but tighten, his voice also decreased, and a touch of uneasiness floated in his heart.
What must he have discovered......
Qiao Xiaoru was apprehensive in her heart, and then she remembered what kind of place this was! They have had a good time for more than three days, but that doesn't mean that there is no potential danger, and it doesn't mean that they will always be going well!
"Daughter-in-law, go up quickly! Fast! The foolish man pulled Qiao Xiaoru to run under a towering tree and helped her climb up the tree.
Qiao Xiaoru didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly hugged the trunk and climbed up desperately.
