Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 181 The correct posture for digging wild ginseng

Wang Pinqiu is not short of money, but it does not mean that others are not short of money.Like Xu Min, his family is not very good, otherwise he would not have given up his family to do this hard work, and Reporter Zhao would not be rich.Since Hu Tu is not the owner who is short of money, it is also good to spread the money, not to mention that everyone is a witness, and the witnesses have a share. It is reasonable and not harmful to share them.

Hu Tu didn't even care, after all he had already dug up several of them, and it was only this one that he wanted to divide.So when Xu Min and reporter Zhao refused, he said lightly: "You don't have to refuse, I have already taken half of it, and I am embarrassed to have more. Besides, although I don't have a lot of money, I still don't need three to five million yuan. How many points do you have?" A little bit can also subsidize the family."

Although they said no, but they really got it, and they were very happy in their hearts. After all, it was not a small amount for them, and they were naturally grateful.

Probably because they thought the scenery was not as interesting as digging ginseng, Wang Pinqiu and reporter Zhao stayed to watch and took photos from time to time, showing the appearance of a curious baby.But Xu Min still remembered the serious business and went to find a place to live alone.

After enjoying the convenience brought by the lotus space, Hu Tu became less and less fond of doing things by himself, but with two eyes and two cameras facing him, he had no choice but to dig ginseng honestly according to the rules.

"In fact, when it comes to digging ginseng, it is also a special culture." While digging, Hu Tu also explained, "The customs of ginseng harvesting include worship beliefs, ethics, environmental awareness, value recognition, traditional skills, special language, behavior Rules, various taboos, ginseng digging techniques, etc., have been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list."

These explanations also show his understanding of ginseng. Like an expert, he continued to say: "Ginseng harvesting can be divided into several stages: during the fourth and fifth months of the lunar calendar, the ginseng seedlings germinate, which is called "fangyacao". ; in June and July, the ginseng leaves are hidden in the weeds and it is difficult to find, which is called "putting black grass"; Hammer, known as 'Red Hammer City' by the people, is the golden season for picking ginseng. This ginseng has not bloomed, so if it is hidden in the grass, you will miss it if you are not careful."

Wang Pinqiu also heard some interesting stories about digging ginseng. She asked: "I heard that when you find ginseng, you should call out 'stick' immediately, saying that you want to fix the ginseng. Why didn't you call it just now?"

"Cut." Hu Tu was very disdainful, "If you really follow the mountain rules, you have to learn from a teacher before digging ginseng. Suobao sticks into the mountains. And before digging the ginseng, you have to kneel and worship three times, begging it to give you a top-grade ginseng. These are all agreed-upon norms, in fact, it is just for peace of mind, and it is of no use."

Wang Pinqiu said with a smile: "Hehe, if people listen to your words, I'm afraid many people will scold you."

"Culture belongs to culture, and digging ginseng belongs to digging. Don't talk nonsense and you'll be fine." When Hu Tu said this, he was also very happy, so he said a few more words, "According to the rules, if a ginseng digger finds ginseng, it will be fine." To call Shan, there was a secret code between them. After finding ginseng, he pinched the ginseng seedling leaves with one hand, let go of his throat and called Shan: "Bammer..." Someone answered, "What product..." "Qipinye..." There is There is an answer to the question, and everyone who hears it must sing together. I am the only one who understands this here, and this mountain can’t shout.”

"Bah." Wang Pinqiu was very dissatisfied with Hu Tu's contempt, "You know a lot!"

Reporter Zhao said in admiration: "Little Hu is young, so he really knows a lot. You just said the seventh-grade leaves. I heard that some people use the leaves to judge the year. Did you judge like that just now?"

It was Wang Pinqiu who made the conclusion just now, and she explained: "The identification of the age of ginseng is generally not based on the leaves. The one-year ginseng is called Sanhua, the second-year is called Wuye, and the three-year-old is called Erjiazi. There are fourth-grade leaves and fifth-grade leaves in four years, and seventh-grade leaves may appear in ginseng of five, six, seven and above years, so it is more difficult to identify its age by pure leaves. The identification of ginseng age is generally They all rely on the ginseng reed, the texture of the ginseng body, and the pimples on the ginseng whiskers to identify the age, of course it is not as simple as it is said, it requires a wealth of professional knowledge and experience to do it!"

Hu Tu said in surprise: "Wow, you know so much?"

"Because I bought it." Wang Pinqiu said with a smile, "But the one I bought was much less than this year, but it also cost me 3 yuan, so my judgment just now may not be correct. I just heard that, Wild ginseng, often come across some older ones. I heard that there is a song about the identification of wild ginseng, Hu Tu, do you know?"

Without hesitation, Hu Tu chanted: "The reed bowls grow close to each other, the round arms and round reed jujube cores, the skin is tight and the fine lines are pimples, the whiskers are long and clear like leather strips, and the beards are dotted with pearls. It has the characteristics of wild ginseng." After singing, he explained, "The reeds, scorpions, body, lines, and beards mentioned in this ballad are industry terms, and they are also the basic points for identifying wild ginseng, that is, 'five shapes are beautiful'. Haha, I will see later See how lucky I am today, if I can dig out a mallet with all five shapes, it will be perfect."

"You're thinking about something good again." Wang Pinqiu shook his head, "Wild ginseng grows naturally, in various forms, and it is rare to truly meet the five-shape beauty standard. Most wild ginseng only have one or two of the morphological characteristics, and it is considered to have three shapes. It’s a great product; if you can have four shapes, it’s rare in the market, and it’s undoubtedly a high-quality product; if you occasionally encounter a masterpiece with’five shapes and beauty’, it’s definitely a blessing. I don’t believe you can still have shit luck.”

"Hehe, that might be." Hu Tu laughed happily, but he had the same idea as Wang Pinqiu, and he didn't believe that he could dig out the top-quality ginseng. After all, it was really luck, and his so-called luck was basically source can be found.

After watching for more than half an hour, they were a little tired and sat against the stone pillars.Reporter Zhao yawned and said, "However, why are you digging ginseng so slowly? If you dig like this, you will dig until dark." Actually digging, it's really that slow.

Hu Tu curled his lips and said, "Digging ginseng is a job that cannot be rushed. You must be careful, otherwise the ginseng will not be dug well. In fact, I don't have tools yet, and it's not too formal. If you want to say, there are many tools for digging ginseng. , there are more than a dozen kinds of deer bone drills, cable sticks, Kuidang knives, Kuidang axes, red velvet ropes, oilcloths, copper coins, etc." He showed the small pit dug out, "began to use a mallet needle to separate the ginseng At about 40cm outside, I started digging. I dug a 1-meter circle with ginseng as the center, and put the ginseng inside. After digging, cut off the upper branches and leaves, and then slowly invite it out. You know this thing, sometimes a It takes hours to dig."

After hearing about it for several hours, both of them were unwilling to watch here. They just asked him to remember to take pictures and record the process of digging the ginseng, and call them when it was about to be dug out.

This was exactly what Hu Tu wanted, and he said again and again: "Then go and take pictures, and I will remember to call you after digging."
