Hello 1983

The two of them, under the reminder of Liu Qingshan, constantly corrected the images of the comic characters one by one, and finally finalized them.

The fourth and fifth little ones were also busy at the side, serving tea and pouring water, and they could also act as the first batch of young readers, offering comments and so on.

He worked until midnight, and the two little guys fell asleep on the edge of the kang, and then the work was over.

After sending Wu Tong and He Mengfei to the new house in the west courtyard, the eyes of the two girls were still shining. Looking at the excitement, Liu Qingshan guessed that they would not be able to sleep at night.

Early the next morning, when Liu Qingshan came back from practicing on the mountain, he found that the two of them had dark circles under their eyes and were yawning profusely.

However, after eating a hearty breakfast and drinking a big bowl of milk, they were revived again, and they pulled Liu Qingshan together, ready to continue working.

"Today is Labor Day, and I have to participate in labor and lead the children to plant trees."

Liu Qingshan was arguing.

"Mental work is also work."

He Mengfei did not follow.

At the critical moment, it was Shan Xing who came to the rescue: "Sister Wu, Sister He, let's plant trees together, and we can go up the mountain to see monkeys."

After the weather got warmer, the monkeys also moved back from the valley to the Immortal Cave. These guys are quite good at living.

The attraction of monkeys was indeed greater than that of Liu Qingshan, so Wu Tong and He Mengfei also joined the tree planting army.

Among the spring wild horses floating in the distance, the labor brigade of Jiapigou marched mightily towards the mountain.

Thousands of yews have been planted on the hillside. Looking from a distance, it is also a large area of ​​lush green, which is also very fulfilling.

Trees have to be planted one by one, just like roads have to walk step by step, so don't be in a hurry.

"Wow, what a beautiful little yellow flower!"

He Mengfei saw the Bingling flowers blooming on the hillside, and immediately squatted down to pick them.

But she paused for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang Handi: "Pick it off for me, and I'll stick it in my hair."

"Isn't it good to let them grow freely on the hillside?" Liu Qingshan muttered.

Then I saw Wu Tong looking at him with a smile: "I want to wear one too."

Liu Qingshan couldn't help rubbing his nose, and then replied cheerfully: "Okay, you two don't be so beautiful, you don't need flowers to embellish your beauty."

This flattery was well done, and the two big girls immediately smiled like flowers, digging holes with the little dolls.

The result was a few big blisters on their hands, and their hands that held paintbrushes all day were obviously not quite used to the shovel.

The commemoration left by this Labor Day is quite meaningful.

Liu Qingshan worked here with the children for a while, then was called away by Gao Feng.

When I came to Mukeleng, I saw that the master had brought the tools and was ready to go to dig wild ginseng.

"I'm going too." Li Tieniu muttered.

"Junior Brother, you'd better concentrate on cooking tea eggs here." Liu Qingshan patted his generous shoulder, then followed Master and Gao Feng on the road.

Gao Feng also seemed a little excited, Junxiu's face was flushed, and he rubbed his hands and said, "Little brother, this is the first time I've dug wild ginseng!"

Liu Qingshan replied casually: "It's okay, there is always a first time in life, and you will get used to it after a few more times."

Gao Feng opened his mouth, the little brother's words tasted weird.

The three masters and apprentices hurried all the way, and they arrived at the ginseng garden at noon.

The ginseng at this moment is just about to sprout, and it can only be judged by the dried branches and leaves left over from last year. It is not a good time to dig ginseng.

Usually, it is best to pick red hammers when the leaves grow or when they are blooming and fruiting. That is the easiest time to harvest.

Only someone like Grandpa Dumb can dig whenever he wants.

After Gao Feng saw it, he became even more excited: "My God, there are so many. This is a wild natural community. It may take hundreds of years to form."

The more he talked, the more excited he became: "Doesn't that mean that there is probably a ginseng king plant that is hundreds of years old here!"

"calm down."

Liu Qingshan tapped his head.

He is also secretly observing Gao Feng, and today is also a test for him, whether he can resist such a temptation.

Gao Feng rubbed his head and gradually calmed down from the ecstasy. In the eyes of others, this ginseng garden represented great wealth.

But in the eyes of doctors, it represents the recovery of many patients.

After calming down, Gao Feng took out the tools from the bag and handed them to Master.

Seeing that his eyes became clear again, Liu Qingshan nodded in satisfaction and followed suit.

This time, only the three of them, the master and the apprentice, did not bring outsiders, because they were afraid that some people would be greedy and cause unnecessary trouble.

Firstly, clear the area around one meter away. This kind of old mountain ginseng has very long stalks after decades of growth.

According to the rules left over from the old life, if the ginseng needs to be cut off, not to mention losing the craftsmanship, the key is that the price will be greatly reduced.

Because the former Fangshan people believed that if the ginseng whiskers were broken, the essence of ginseng would also be lost.

Afterwards, the three master and apprentice squatted on the ground, holding the bone skewers in their hands, and began to clean them slowly.

The process of digging ginseng was not called digging in the past, but "lifting".

In the past, the official and the master sat in the sedan chair, so they said they were carried.

The saying of Fangshan people in the old life is "carrying ginseng is like inviting Buddha". This is not a superstition, but an expression of an attitude towards ginseng.

The people who released the mountain, with a kind of respect, invited the ginseng out of the mountain to treat diseases and save people.

But the later people gradually lost this kind of awe of nature and all creatures, and they will naturally suffer the revenge of nature if they act recklessly.

The process of lifting the ginseng was a slow job, and the three of them had been busy for several hours before they could completely lift out the old mountain ginseng.

Liu Qingshan and Gao Feng refilled the big pit dug out, while the dumb grandfather had already peeled off two large pieces of birch bark, and sandwiched the wild ginseng that was carried out into it.

Put moss in the middle to keep it moist, tie the outside with a red string, and you can take it down the mountain.

This month, with this method of preservation, it will be fine for half a month.

It was getting dark now, and the three of them could only stay overnight in a nearby wooden house, and returned to Jiapigou at noon the next day.

Generally speaking, the ginseng carried back should be placed in a ventilated room and dried naturally in the shade without being exposed to the sun.

The family was preparing for lunch, and Master Yao and Master Yang were waiting eagerly.

Seeing Liu Qingshan and the others come back, he immediately greeted him. Seeing the birch bark on the back of the dumb grandfather, Master Yang couldn't help but be overjoyed: "You just carried it out?"

He also thought that the dumb grandpa was an old mountain ginseng picked before and kept in his collection.

Unexpectedly, it is still fresh, so the quality is of course better.

But this month, you can find wild ginseng, is it really amazing?

Filled with doubts, the crowd surrounded the dumb grandpa into the house, and then carefully opened the birch bark.

I saw that the old wild ginseng inside was yellowish in color, not white and fat, but like a skinny old man.

There are also pearl bumps on the roots, which is the difference between wild ginseng and planted ginseng.

"Look at the reed head first."

Master Yao also took out a magnifying glass, his eyes were a little blurry.

The exact year of the old mountain ginseng is not easy to determine. It is more accurate to check the top of the reed head. Because the branches and leaves grow once a year, there will still be traces. The reason is a bit like the annual rings of trees.

The two old masters have worked in pharmaceutical factories for many years, and their ability to identify medicinal materials is not bad. They quickly concluded that this is a wild ginseng plant between 80 and [-] years old.

"Rare baby, dumb old man, thank you so much this time."

Master Yang tightly held the dumb grandpa's big hand.

Master Yao next to him coughed lightly: "Lao Yang, don't forget to settle the score first."

Yes, yes, Master Yang nodded quickly: "The starting price for 50 years is 20 yuan. For this old wild ginseng, it is calculated on the basis of 80 years. If you add 26 yuan every ten years, then add [-] yuan, and the total is [-] yuan." , Dumb old man, are you satisfied with this price?"

The dumb grandfather smiled and waved his hand. He has never had any idea about money, and it is useless to ask for it.

Liu Qingshan thought for a while: "Let's put the money into the account of the cooperative. After all, the things produced in the forest belong to the public property of the cooperative."

The public assets are true, but because he holds the most shares, he still takes the lead.

Liu Qingshan wasn't going to hide this matter, so the news quickly spread throughout the village, and the villagers were very excited: more than 20 came back, haha, why didn't I think it was so easy to make money before?

After repacking the old ginseng, Master Yang said again:

"Brother Dumb, I called back over there. The other party also attaches great importance to what you said about changing the two herbs."

"I also invited several old gentlemen to conduct a debate on Fang Zi, and everyone's opinions are not unified, so I extend an invitation to you, can I go to Hong Kong Island, don't worry, all the expenses are contracted by the other party. Thanks."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being envious: it's such a rare opportunity to go to Hong Kong Island for free.

Master Yang also looked at the dumb grandfather with respect in his eyes.

At the beginning, he thought that the dumb grandpa was at best a village doctor, but he heard on the phone that the old Chinese doctor invited over there highly respected this folk wonder.

To use a saying from later generations: the masters are among the people.

The dumb grandpa smiled, shook his head slightly, and made two gestures with his hands.

Liu Qingshan was on the side to help translate: "My master said that he has been busy with making medicines recently, and if he doesn't have time, he won't go to Hong Kong Island."

Hearing that the dumb grandpa rejected the opportunity to go to Hong Kong Island, everyone was stunned: Why did he refuse the matter of others stealing his head?

This year, going abroad is definitely the most popular.

Seeing that the dumb grandpa refused very simply, Master Yang had no choice but to call the village department again to communicate and see the other party's opinion.

Everyone prepares lunch and waits for the fourth and fifth children to finish school.

Soon, the shrill voice of the fourth child came from the yard: "We are back, wow, brother, come out and see!"

Hearing the little girl's joyful cry, Liu Qingshan happily ran out the door: "What's the matter, the gourd we planted in our house has also grown gourd babies?"

After hearing the story of the gourd baby, the two little girls had to plant a row of gourds at the root of the gate. It took only two days to plant them, and they probably didn't germinate.

"Brother, look quickly, there are little swallows building a nest again!"

The fourth child excitedly pointed to the roof.

There used to be two bird's nests here, one of which was newly built last year, with a small basket hanging underneath it.

At this moment, next to the two bird's nests, there are small mud balls stuck to the mud wall. It seems that there are still two new nests ready to build.

Chapter 4 Want to fool the kids, don't you?

Just as he was talking, a clever little swallow flew back and stuck to the wall, and stuck the mud ball in its mouth to the wall again.

Inside the mud ball, there is also a tiny grass stick mixed in.

The little swallow also seemed a little tired, so she fell on the clothesline, rubbed her small mouth back and forth, and wiped off the dirt stuck on it.

"It's the nest of little swallows that hatched last year. They like our house." Shan Xing also smiled.

Liu Qingshan couldn't recognize this one, anyway, in his eyes, swallows all looked alike.

The fourth little one raised his head and warned: "You have to build the nest well, make it beautiful, bright and spacious, and don't let the little swallow fall down again."

"I heard that swallows like to build their nests in happy and peaceful homes."

Wu Tong also raised his head and looked at the bird's nest under the eaves. It must be very warm in that nest.

Squeaky, the little white ape was probably also curious, and climbed up the electric pole under the eaves, presumably to take a closer look.

As a result, Lin Zhi immediately hugged it down, and gently poked its monkey head: "Little Bai, don't take out the bird's nest, you will be blind if you take out the bird's nest."

With a burst of laughter, everyone went into the house to eat.

In the afternoon, Liu Qingshan finally didn't run away, and was escorted by Wu Tong and He Mengfei to make comics together.

Looking at the samples they drew yesterday, Liu Qingshan was quite satisfied, but in order to prevent the two girls from being proud, they still picked a lot of faults.

"We have to go back to school tomorrow and then go to the island country soon, what will happen next?"

He Mengfei suddenly felt a little worried.

Without the copywriting provided by Liu Qingshan, she didn't even know what to draw.

"Let's contact by letter."
