Chapter 5 Picking wild Panax notoginseng, the first pot of gold!
Its daybreak.
The rooster begins to crow.
Wu Huiliang opened his eyes, walked outside the courtyard and splashed his face with cold water.
Then, he fished out a few loaches from the water tank, crushed them into batter, and steamed them in a pot.
After waiting for the pot to boil for half an hour, I opened the lid and took a sip.
After knowing that the batter was almost cooked, I picked it up under the pressure of being hot and put it on the table.
Prepare to satisfy Xu Li and the little girl's appetite.
In fact.
Last night, he planned everything.
As the harvest approaches, the family's half-acre of grain is turned over, and the rest cannot last long.
If you go fishing by the Jiumu River, your family can live a good life in a short period of time.
However, such an idea is by no means a long-term solution.
If you want to get rich, you have to use your brain.
In the early 1980s, with the reform and opening up, gold was everywhere.
Now that he is reborn, he must bring the memories of his past life to make money, slowly improve the family's situation, and allow Xu Li and Yuanyuan to live a good life.
However, it seems that this kind of thing cannot be rushed yet and must be done gradually.
There is a great opportunity right now!
Xieying Village is relatively remote and close to a mountainous area. Before liberation, the ancestors here relied on hunting in the mountains to make a living for generations. It has always been unknown.
Later, one of the ancestors' hunters discovered a plant with high medicinal value in the mountains and handed it over to the state, and the village's name became known to people.
It is said that at that time, the hunter was even interviewed by some reporters in the city, and he was famous for a while.
All Wu Huiliang had to do was follow the path taken by his predecessors, go up the mountain to collect vegetation, and then take it to the city to sell it.
He picked up a piece of batter, took a sip while it was hot, and left home in a hurry before the sun had fully risen.
Wear walking shoes and walk along a winding path.
Along the way, the soles of my feet were worn out due to poor road conditions.
However, when he thought of what he had to do next, he gritted his teeth and moved on.
finally.
When the sun was three poles high, we approached the foot of the mountain.
"call."
Wu Huiliang sat on the ground and took a nap, wiping the sweat from his face.
I took off my shoes and knocked them on the ground, shaking off the dirt on them.
Stand up again and look up at the mountain.
"If you want to be rich, you must first endure hardship."
"It seems there is still a long way to go."
“There’s a long way to go!”
However, these difficulties are nothing to him. As long as he can change the situation of his family, no matter how difficult it is, it is worth it.
After Wu Huiliang comforted himself for a while, he simply walked forward with his head bare.
The hot sun burned his skin.
He, who had never worked hard and had tender skin and tender flesh, had several places on his back change color.
Not only that, I was sweating profusely every step I took.
After all, in this summer, not many people are willing to go out and suffer this kind of crime.
Most of them were hiding under the shade of trees to enjoy the coolness.
But if there is someone, they will definitely stop and laugh at him for being such a fool.
Wu Huiliang also thought about taking a rest before moving forward, but the consequences of laziness in his previous life told him that for the sake of his wife and children at home, he had to keep going no matter what.
Finally, Huangtian paid off.
On the edge of a cliff halfway up the mountain, he discovered dozens of long and clustered Panax notoginseng plants.
"It's a little thing, it looks a bit weird. But it's okay, I've got my first pot of gold." Feeling that his efforts have yielded corresponding results, Wu Huiliang felt very satisfied in his heart. After smiling, he knelt down.
Lying down on the steps used for climbing, I aimed hard at their roots and started to pull them up one by one.
Dozens of Panax notoginseng plants were plucked out within a short time.
Wu Huiliang felt happy, stood up, wiped his sweat, and tidied up.
Just like the previous action of catching small fish, first tie the vest into a tight knot to ensure that there are no gaps, and then put it on the waist.
Then, we started to put the vegetation inside.
It didn't take long.
Each Panax notoginseng plant is like a leather doll, lying peacefully in the package.
Wu Huiliang was carrying a heavy package, covering his eyes with his hands and looking up.
Feeling the enthusiasm of nature, I hummed a folk song. After finishing it, I walked smoothly down the mountain step by step.
The destination of his trip was none other than a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the city.
In this era, traditional Chinese medicine has not come to an end, especially the previous generation. The richer they are, the more they like to get involved in it. If they have any minor problems, they will ask the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor to acupuncture and check the pulse.
Naturally, the Chinese herbal medicines in pharmacies are very popular.
Wu Huiliang had also experienced the world before and knew which pharmacy in the city had good business.
After walking several kilometers, we set up a stall not far from a pharmacy and started selling.
"Hey, I'm selling Sanqi."
"Absolutely wild, not really free of charge."
At this time, this traditional Chinese medicine clinic has not opened yet, but there are several repeat customers waiting in line here.
Most of them are in their thirties, obviously at the age where they have given birth to children, and they are relatively plump.
Women are very embarrassed at this age. In addition to excessive postpartum blood loss, they also have to deal with menstruation.
Most people who come to this traditional Chinese medicine clinic are suffering from deficiency of Qi and blood.
The Panax notoginseng vegetation can effectively treat their hidden dangers.
"It's strange, what time is it, and the door isn't open yet."
"This old guy will become lazy when he gets older."
"The weather is so hot, how long do we have to wait?"
"If menstruation hadn't happened more frequently recently, I wouldn't have suffered this crime."
Due to the weather, several female patients became a little impatient.
Wu Huiliang was listening to their conversation and probably guessed their purpose.
He had an idea and shouted at them: "Sisters, would you like to take a look at my wild Panax notoginseng? Buy it back and take it. I'm sure it can stop bleeding, remove blood stasis, and beautify your skin."
When several middle-aged women heard that this thing could replenish blood, they immediately came over curiously and asked: "Little brother, is what you said true or false?"
Seeing this, Wu Huiliang replied: "Of course it is true. My family has been practicing medicine for generations. The medicinal effects of general vegetation can be said casually. Wild Panax notoginseng is used for hemoptysis, vomiting, epistaxis, and bloody stools.
, metrorrhagia, traumatic bleeding, stabbing pain in the chest and abdomen, swelling and pain after falling. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Compendium of Materia Medica", it can stop bleeding, disperse blood and relieve pain, wounds caused by golden-edged arrows, sores from falling sticks, and bleeding that does not stop.
, chew it and smear it, or mix it into powder, and the bleeding will stop. It also mainly causes vomiting and epistaxis, bleeding and dysentery, menstrual bleeding during metrorrhagia, postpartum hemorrhage, painful blood circulation, red eyes and carbuncles, and tiger bites and snakes.
It can treat various diseases. Simply put, women can also take it if their Qi and blood are deficient."
"Little brother, don't fool us." One of the women said.
Wu Huiliang narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Whatever sister said, it is absolutely useful. It doesn't cost any money."
"Seeing as you are pretty good at it, well, let's go back and try two of them," the man said again.
Everyone came together, and there must be a consumer comparison mentality among each other, especially women of this age group.
Seeing that the man was the first to buy two plants, they stopped being idle and rushed to spend their money to buy them.
