Chapter 666

The thing Wang An's family of three lacks the least is lard, so the meal Wang An brought today was big pancakes fried in bear oil.

The three of them sat around together, with big pancakes in their left hands and big green onions in their right hands. On the ground between the three of them was half a can of soybean paste.

These three people basically had the same movements: they bit a piece of the big pancake in their left hand, dipped the big green onion in their right hand into the paste, stuffed it into their mouths, bit it with a "crunch" sound, and then ate it fiercely.

Each of their cheeks was puffed out round, and they were eating quite deliciously.

This way of eating in the Northeast is the veritable "dipping big green onions in paste, crunching it up."

When eating, Wang An said to Seeing Mu Xueli:

"Xueli, can that nest of ginseng be dug out in one day tomorrow?"

The reason why Wang An asked Seeing Mu Xueli this matter was that now this ginseng-digging trio, Seeing Mu Xueli was the absolute main force and the person in charge.

Wang Li was a secondary main force. As for Wang An, he had been reduced to the situation of wrapping ginseng and helping out.

The main thing was that Wang An had dug 5 ginseng roots in a row before, and only the second and third ones—which were the two with the fewest roots and the least valuable second-grade and horse-hoof ones—were dug out completely by Wang An.

As for the other 3 roots of 3-grade leaf, they were all successfully turned into defective products by Wang An!

At that time, even Wang Li sucked his teeth in pain and couldn't bear to watch, and Seeing Mu Xueli was so angry that he told Wang An not to dig anymore.

Thinking about it, it's true; in more than two hours, more than 600 yuan was thrown away for nothing, but this 600 yuan didn't even splash a drop of water.

Just like that, in a situation where Wang An was very unwilling, he helplessly put away his ginseng-digging tools.

At that time, Wang An was still muttering that the reason why he broke the ginseng roots was that his deer bone needle and deer bone spoon had problems, and he told Seeing Mu Xueli not to forget to make another set when he got home at night.

Seeing Mu Xueli unexpectedly retorted with a sentence, the original words were: "A donkey is not easy to use, blame the shaft."

It must be said that this was truly heartbreaking, directly reflecting that Wang An's work was not good, but he blamed the tools.

This made Wang An so angry that he kicked Seeing Mu Xueli twice on the spot.

He really didn't know how to speak!

Then Wang An obediently went to wrap the ginseng and help out.

After Wang An finished asking, Seeing Mu Xueli said without hesitation: "That definitely can't be dug out. Even digging for another day the day after tomorrow would be tough. This nest of ginseng is really dense..."

The reason why Seeing Mu Xueli answered so decisively was that in the process of digging ginseng, as they got closer to the middle position, the horse-hoof ones and second-grade ones became fewer and fewer, while the 3-grade leaf and 4-grade leaf became more and more, and just now there was a 5-grade leaf.

And ginseng is like this: the longer the age, the more roots it has, and the more roots it has, the more complex the direction of the roots will be. If you are not careful, you will suffer huge losses, so the speed of digging will be slower.

Just like Seeing Mu Xueli, it only took about half an hour to dig a 4-grade leaf, but it wasn't enough even with two hours to dig a 5-grade leaf.

After Seeing Mu Xueli finished speaking, Wang An nodded and said: "Yeah, dig slowly, don't worry. If you break one less root, you'll have everything."

Seeing Mu Xueli chewed the pancake and said as if expressing his determination: "Yeah, Brother-in-law, don't worry. I'll definitely be better than you."

As soon as Seeing Mu Xueli's voice fell, Wang An's hand holding the pancake tightened subconsciously, and Wang Li had already turned his head with pursed lips, constantly shrugging his shoulders.

It must be said that Seeing Mu Xueli's words are really becoming more and more annoying.

Unfortunately, although these words are annoying, you really can't pick out any faults. If you show it, it will make you look like you have no tolerance; if you don't show it, it will be quite uncomfortable. So, after eating, Wang An kicked Seeing Mu Xueli again on the grounds that Seeing Mu Xueli was "smacking his lips" while eating... It must be said that once anger is generated, as long as it is vented as soon as possible, you will feel comfortable all over.

After kicking Seeing Mu Xueli, the three of them laughed and talked while digging ginseng.

It was still Seeing Mu Xueli as the main force and Wang Li as the assistant. As for Wang An, he was either wrapping ginseng or looking for other ginseng roots; he definitely couldn't do the digging.

The main thing was that if he continued to dig, Seeing Mu Xueli would have to cry directly.

Actually, Wang Li's ginseng-digging technique is not much different from Wang An's; they both belong to the fate-type players.

It's just that Wang Li is more timid and small-hearted. As long as he encounters ginseng that can be called "grade," Wang Li digs the easy ones, and Wang Li just doesn't dig the difficult ones, but lets Seeing Mu Xueli solve them.

He won't be like Wang An, who digs whatever he encounters, no matter what grade leaf it is, and no matter if it's easy to dig or not, he just digs, digs hard, and if he gets anxious, he directly uses his hands to pluck it.

Anyway, Wang An digs ginseng just like he does things; he never cares whether this thing is easy to do or not, it depends on whether I want to do it.

Just like that, the three of them performed their own duties, and the time also came to the evening.

This piece of ginseng nest, one meter square, had also been dug for about half.

After counting, the harvest was quite significant.

2 complete 5-grade leaves, 4 complete 4-grade leaves, 12 complete 3-grade leaves, and 6 broken 3-grade leaves, 46 second-grade ones, and a pile of horse-hoof ones thinner than toothpicks, and three-flower ones not much thicker than hair.

Actually, Wang An didn't want to dig these ginseng seedlings like horse-hoof ones and three-flower ones. On one hand, this thing is not valuable at all, and digging it is a complete waste.

On the other hand, although Wang An doesn't abide by the rules of digging ginseng, he doesn't want to do such things that hurt the harmony of heaven. After all, ginseng is something that has spirituality in the hearts of Chinese people, and it even has the title of "divine grass."

Moreover, wanting ginseng to grow is truly a very difficult thing.

Unfortunately, the ginseng in this ginseng nest is too dense. If you don't dig these horse-hoof ones and three-flower ones, you can't dig other ginseng roots.

Looking at this pile of horse-hoof ones and three-flower ones, Seeing Mu Xueli asked with a frown:

"Brother-in-law, what should we do with this pile of ginseng cubs?"

Wang An thought for a moment and said: "Plant them in the backyard with these big ginseng roots. It's best if they can grow up; if they can't grow up, there's no way."

Hearing this, Wang Li said very decisively:

"I don't know how to plant this thing. How about I don't want it? Fourth Brother, you take them all home."

As soon as Wang Li's voice fell, Seeing Mu Xueli also immediately said: "I don't want my share either. Brother-in-law, take them all."

Wang An rolled his eyes at these two and said unpleasantly:

"If I make them all live, don't you regret it."

Actually, in the Jilin area of this era, mainly around Changbai Mountain, ginseng planting has already started, and the cultivation of forest ginseng has also started.

But unlike Wang An, who takes ginseng seedlings from the mountains to his home, forest ginseng is raised at home and then planted in the mountains.

Hearing Wang An's words, the two of them said hurriedly:

"We won't regret it, we won't regret it. Anything is better than letting them all die."
