Mountain People

Chapter 42: Please, dig up wild ginseng

    Qin Shan was really frightened by Uncle Qin's nonsense. Why was he still talking about Dong Chenghu in front of him, and he immediately pointed the finger at him as soon as the conversation turned. It was too sudden.

    Qin Shan responded to Uncle Qin twice and ran away quickly.

    Uncle Qin looked at his anxious look and hated that iron could not become steel.

    Gu Shuixiu didn't care about other people's thoughts, she led everyone to the valley on the first day of construction, marked out the places she liked, and when all the dewdrops evaporated at noon, let these people follow the wind direction Ignition, as the saying goes, a single spark can start a prairie fire. Taking advantage of the wind, those dry weeds and bushes will burn more and more vigorously.

    Fortunately, all the big trees in the valley were cut down by Dong Chenghu, either to build houses or to make furniture. Without the big trees, these fires spread extremely fast, and almost all of them burned out before the sun set. Even places that Gu Shuixiu did not specify were burned.

    However, Gu Shuixiu was not worried at all, no matter how much burning in the valley, it would not spread to the entire forest. It is best to burn all the wild grass in the valley to make it easier for future planning.

    Several people watched the sky gradually sink, and went back regardless of the situation here.

    Gu Shuixiu prepared a table of delicious food in the shortest time, including braised pork, roasted pheasant, steamed fish, a plate of fried fungus, oyster porridge, a pot of dry rice and a few more A nest head.

    The pheasant was hunted by Zuo Qingsong, and the fish was caught by Dong Chenghu with a fish basket, not every day.

    What a few people eat is satisfying, Qin Chuan even said: "Brother Chenghu, eating like this every day has raised my appetite. What about?"

    This is also what Uncle Qin and Mrs Hao are worried about.

    Dong Chenghu didn't care, "If you can't get enough to eat, come over here, you can eat whatever you want!"

    "Chenghu, don't get used to him, if he can't get enough to eat in the future, let him find a way!"

    Uncle Qin also felt sorry for Qin Chuan. It was when he was growing up that he really ate more. Just here Dong Chenghu can make him eat hard.

    When Uncle Qin thought of this, he made up his mind to make more efforts to make up for what Qin Chuan ate too much with labor.

    Gu Shuixiu and his wife didn't know Uncle Qin's plan.

    A group of people ate happily. The Qin family stepped on the moonlight to cross the river and went home. Zuo Qingsong lived in the guest room in the front yard. "Yunmei and the two children didn't come out to eat, but did the younger brother and sister prepare food for them?"

    Gu Shuixiu was stunned for a moment before she realized it, and smiled: "They have to take good care of themselves, and they eat different things from us. I have already sent the cooked porridge in, so brother Qingsong can rest assured. "

    Zuo Qingsong wanted to talk about seeing Dong Yunmei, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to go back to his room.

    Gu Shuixiu and his wife went to bed after washing up.

    "Chenghu, do you think Big Brother Qingsong is interested in Big Sister?" Gu Shuixiu kept thinking about Zuo Qingsong's strangeness, and became more and more sure of her guess.

    Dong Chenghu turned over, hugged Gu Shuixiu to find a comfortable position, he was satisfied, it was better to have a daughter-in-law!

    "You can see that too! Brother Qingsong and elder sister have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. If the elder sister hadn't given the Wu family as a child bride, they would have been married long ago. Alas! Despite the hurdles in my heart, I have been thinking about the eldest sister, so I didn't get married, and now that the eldest sister has returned from separation, it is estimated that Brother Qingsong wants to continue the relationship."

    "What's your opinion?" Gu Shuixiu looked at him brightly.

    Dong Chenghu looked puzzled, and his breaths came from the darkness.

    "What opinion can I have? As long as the eldest sister is willing, it will be done, but the eldest sister has two children and was abused like that by the Wu family. Well, this matter still has a lot of consumption!"

    Dong Chenghu muttered twice and fell asleep.

    Gu Shuixiu was in a hurry.

    Gu Shuixiu couldn't fall asleep thinking about Dong Yunmei and Zuo Qingsong.

    Dong Yunmei in that room was also unable to sleep because of Zuo Qingsong's sleepless nights. She naturally understood the way Zuo Qingsong looked at her, but she was already a broken flower and a willow, with two children by her side, what qualifications did she have to follow She talks about marriage, so don't drag him down!

    Thinking of Dong Yunmei like this made her feel uncomfortable, and secretly wiped her tears in the bed.

    The two children next to her slept soundly.

    The next day they waited until the Qin family arrived before starting work.

    Gu Shuixiu has already seen the valley they burned yesterday, although it is not very thorough, but it is almost enough. After a night when the ground has cooled down, this is the best time to break ground.

    Today, let Uncle Qin and Qin Chuan Dong Chenghu burn another valley, Zuo Qingsong and Qin Shan began to turn the ground.

    Turning the ground is hard work, and it pays attention to skills.

    Looking at such a large piece of land, Gu Shuixiu suddenly realized that she really needed a scalper to cultivate the land. It's just that Cuizhu Mountain is deep in the mountains. It's too difficult to buy a scalper. At most, you can buy a small scalper and come back to raise it. Since that's the case, don't worry now.

    Zuo Qingsong and Qin Shan were busy turning the ground, and Gu Shuixiu was not idle, helping to put the burnt things back, these are good things and can be used as fertilizer.

    In the process of sorting out, Gu Shuixiu also found some charred pheasants and hares, and even seven or eight snakes, which made Gu Shuixiu jump three feet high. Of course, with the deepening of the digging, in addition to these disgusting things, a lot of good things were naturally dug up, the most valuable of which was a 50-year-old wild ginseng.

    It was dug by Qin Shan with a hoe. Fortunately, only some of the roots were damaged. If you sell it in Panlong Town, you can exchange for thirty or forty taels of silver.

    Qin Shan wanted to hand over the wild ginseng to Dong Chenghu, but Dong Chenghu was very embarrassed. It stands to reason that this valley was bought by him, and the wild ginseng belonged to him, but Qin Shan dug it up. Just accepting it like this, Dong Chenghu felt uncomfortable.

    Seeing them pushing and rejecting each other, Gu Shuixiu couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to persuade: "You all don't earn it, although wild ginseng was found in our valley, but if it wasn't for the luck of Brother Qinshan to dig We won't find out when it comes out, so let's give Big Brother Qin Shan 30 taels of silver, which is considered an equal share, so that no one loses to anyone."

    "This method is good, just listen to Shuixiu!" Dong Chenghu grinned happily.

    Qin Shan was very embarrassed, "How can this be, you all bought this mountain, the things are yours, I just dug it out of luck! Besides, this thing is worth it in Panlong Town. Thirty or forty taels of silver, you said you want to give me thirty taels, how could it be divided equally? Or I have the bulk!"
