Chapter 646: Ginseng Bun

Looking at the masterpiece of himself and Wang Li, Wang An pointed to the last two trees with "old markers" and said to Wang Li:

"Alright, let's go. You go and look around the tree with the 'old marker,' and I'll go to the other one."

As he spoke, Wang An turned and walked not far away, and Wang Li nodded and did the same.

The remaining two old markers were both from a long time ago. In Han Shuisheng's words, old markers like this "must have goods"! The reason for saying this is that for wild ginseng of such high age, in the long growth process, as long as it is not destroyed, ginseng seeds will be produced every year.

These seeds, besides being eaten by mountain animals or birds, will inevitably be scattered near the ginseng itself.

And for wild ginseng seeds to sprout, it is really not an ordinary effort, so you never know which year new ginseng will grow.

Therefore, under the qualitative change caused by quantity, it is abnormal that there is no ginseng near the old marker.

Wang An and Wang Li, each hunched their backs and wandered around an old marker for a while, and then found ginseng one after another.

It's just that Wang An found a two-year-old, and Wang Li found a three-leaf grade, and then the two of them dug carefully.

At this time, the two of them were digging for ginseng, completely practicing, so although broken root hairs happened from time to time, no one cared at all.

After digging out the ginseng, the two didn't meet again and continued to search.

In this way, time soon came to noon, and in this morning, Wang An and Wang Li basically spent their time digging for ginseng and looking for ginseng.

It must be said that everything is actually a process of practice making perfect. After having experience, they can basically do it quickly and skillfully, and most importantly, they can do it well.

So by noon, the two of them had a total of 8 ginseng roots in their hands, and the last two ginseng roots dug were truly in a state of no damage.

The two of them looked at the ginseng roots in their hands without even breaking a root hair, and couldn't help but show happy smiles.

Suddenly, Wang An said confidently to Wang Li: "Old Five, why do I feel that if we dig that bunch of ginseng roots now, we can also get them out without breaking them?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Li immediately blocked and said:

"Don't, Fourth Brother, there is a six-leaf big good in there. If we break it again, how uncomfortable will it be? I won't even be able to eat."

Wang An thought for a while and said excitedly: "Why do I feel that my hand feel is super awesome now, and I definitely won't break the ginseng root hairs?"

Wang Li blocked again: "It's not worth it, Fourth Brother, really not worth it. Fourth Brother, do you know how to make a ginseng bun? Should we use a ginseng bun for these two ginseng roots that didn't hurt the root hairs?"

Wang An blinked, didn't pay attention to the question Wang Li asked, but said with some doubt: "Is it really not worth it?"

Wang Li nodded and said very affirmatively:

"Fourth Brother, it's really not worth it."

After a pause, Wang An suddenly didn't know which nerve was wrong and said:

"No, I must prove myself today..."

But before Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li hurriedly grabbed Wang An's clothes and said very quickly: "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, it's not worth it for us to go against a ginseng root. Let's spare it today, and we'll take it down tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Wang An stared at Wang Li, and Wang Li looked at Wang An, his eyes also very firm. In this way, the two brothers stared at each other, neither of them convinced by the other.

To be honest, Wang An had never seen Mu Xueli and Wang Li dare to have such firm eyes with him before.

But what Wang An didn't know was that although Wang Li's eyes were firm at this time, his heart was panicked.

The main thing is that no matter when, Wang Li listened to Wang An and had never gone against Wang An.

After a long while, Wang An put down his restlessness for the six-leaf ginseng and pointed to Wang Li and said:

"Okay, Fourth Brother will give you face today and won't move it for now."

In fact, Wang An really wanted to dig out that six-leaf ginseng root at this time, mainly because Wang An really wanted to know what the six-leaf ginseng root just dug out looked like.

Because Wang An had already known that when he was just reborn, the two dried ginseng roots he first obtained were only over 70 years old, not 80 years old, which was four-leaf ginseng.

Of course, in terms of quality, those two dried ginseng roots were definitely the best among four-leaf grade, and their value might not be inferior to five-leaf grade.

As for the two broken dried ginseng roots sent by Uncle Liu Deyuan, they were three-leaf grade over 30 years old, but because they were broken, the price was very low, only about 100 yuan.

Now, he had seen three-leaf grade and four-leaf grade, but he hadn't seen five-leaf and six-leaf grade, so Wang An's interest in six-leaf ginseng was quite high.

Unfortunately, as Wang Li said, if six-leaf ginseng is damaged, although you don't have to care about the money, your behavior is indeed destroying a treasure.

To put it bluntly, that is completely a prodigal son!

After Wang An finished this sentence, Wang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Li suddenly realized that his Fourth Brother was sometimes mentally abnormal.

If you use Northeast dialect to describe it, it is "once the tiger-headed energy comes up, the whole thing is a damn mountain donkey!" Just when Wang Li was thinking wildly, Wang An thought for a while and said: "Go and brush some birch bark, big pieces, okay? I'll go and get some moss. For a complete ginseng root like this, it really needs to be wrapped in a ginseng bun."

"Ginseng bun" is something that ginseng diggers must use to preserve ginseng. Of course, in the mouths of ginseng diggers, this thing is called "club bun."

This thing is very simple to make, only needing 4 things, which are birch bark, moss, and fine hemp rope or the skin of tree strips.

Of course, if there is no birch bark around, linden bark or pine bark is also fine. This thing has no specific requirements.

First, mix the moss and the original soil around the ginseng, and spread this mixture on the smooth side of the bark.

Then put the ginseng on it, and spread a layer of the mixture of moss and original soil on top of the ginseng.

Finally, fold the excess bark on the top and bottom over. Note that you must not fold the root hairs in.

Finally, use fine hemp rope or the skin of tree strips to wrap this large piece of bark and tie a knot, and it's done.

This method is the best way to preserve ginseng. Generally speaking, leaving it for a month or two has no effect on the ginseng.
