Chapter 551 Preparing to Dig Cordyceps.
Due to its geographical location, there is a certain time difference between Province Z and the capital. Darkness and dawn are about one or two hours later than the capital. Therefore, it usually does not light up until 7 or 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning, and at 80 or 90 o'clock in the evening. It's dark at the end of the day.
In May, the sun rises at about seven o'clock in the morning, but in winter, it doesn't until eight or nine o'clock.
Although the daybreak is later than in the mainland, Leyun's body clock is regular. She wakes up at five o'clock on time, returns to the space to meditate, and takes care of the crops before leaving the space. It is still dark, so she has to lie down and wait.
The biological clocks of Mr. Yan and the brothers of the He family are also on time. They wake up from five to six o'clock. They all lie down for a while, then get up and run to the toilet at 6:30, and then He Mingjun and He Mingzhi make a fire and boil hot water.
Before the water boiled, Dawa and his son and daughter-in-law also got up one after another. Dawa went to the prayer hall to chant sutras, Quzhen Dolma was responsible for cooking, and Sangmu went to take care of the sheep and cows at home, milking the goats, cleaning, and feeding them. Water and fodder.
Leyun waited for the masters to get up before getting up. She ran to the toilet first, then went back to the second floor. She moved a bench and sat by the fire, watching with great interest He Xiaosan's aunt making breakfast. She liked Tibetan supplies the most, such as copper and silver pots. , particularly distinctive.
In order to entertain the guests, the breakfast is very rich, and it is also the most original Tibetan breakfast, including Tibetan buns, naan, cheese, tsampa, butter tea, offal of the sheep killed yesterday, blood sausage, and air-dried beef.
Everyone sat around and had breakfast, each with a wooden bowl to make tsampa to eat.
It was the first time to eat a breakfast with ethnic characteristics. Le Yun learned from He Xiaoshi and mixed the tsampa with butter tea, kneaded it into small dumplings and ate it. Needless to say, the taste was really good, sweet, fragrant, soft and crispy, and uniquely delicious.
The little girl ate happily. She stretched out her jade fingers that looked like spring onions and happily pinched tsampa, ate blood sausage, and cheese. The bright smile on her face was like the sunshine on the snowy peak of the sacred mountain. Gongzhen Dolma and Sangmu watched. I was overjoyed.
Yan Xing sat on the side where the male guests were sitting. He looked at the cute little lolita opposite and was very surprised. The little lolita seemed to be able to find fun wherever she went. Her ability to adapt can only be described as "perverted" .
He Mingsheng and He Mingtao had not eaten Tibetan food many times and were not used to it. However, they had to accept the warm hospitality of their grandmother’s family. They ate naan and Tibetan cheese, air-dried beef, and drank butter tea.
After breakfast, they took a rest and packed their bags to set up camp at the place where cordyceps were dug. He Mingjun went to pick up the convoy on the road to take them to the camping place.
Many people in the village packed their bags and went to camp. Cini and Wangdui also carried their luggage and loaded it into the car. It was not until nine o'clock that the sun saw the sun. The people who had packed their bags set off.
Many villagers used yaks and camels to pull goods, and some used carts to pull goods. The procession was huge and spectacular.
Z Province is vast and sparsely populated. Some villages have hundreds of miles of land. Dawajia Village also has a lot of land, with a radius of almost 200 miles. The Cordyceps Area is about 20 miles away from the village. First, take a short asphalt road. , followed by a natural dirt road, and then the road to the natural pasture area. The alpine meadow under several mountains is where we camp every year.
The camping site was chosen very well, with a river meandering through the snow-capped mountains, and the terrain was flat, making it easy for cars to come and go. The place is wide enough, so you don’t have to worry about running out of room to camp.
Some families in the village had set up tents two days ago. Some tents were far apart, while others were relatively close.
When they arrived at the place, each family dispersed in the direction they liked.
The He brothers followed Xiao Shiwu's uncles, stopped at a place they liked, loaded the car, and set up tents. The tents of brothers Cini and Wangdui were set up together.
The He family brothers had two tents, both of which were beautiful white felt tents. Yan Xing and his brothers set out to set up camp. He Xiaoshi saw the little beauty carrying a small backpack, digging and chewing grass roots out of boredom, and ran over to accompany her. After she said a few words, he quietly came closer and said, "Little Lolita, do you want to ride a yak?"
"Can you ride a yak?" Le Yun jumped up and down, her eyes full of stars.
"Okay, Uncle Cijie's yak is idle. If you want to ride it, we can go over and experience it." He Mingzhi pointed to a white-haired cow in the distance to show to the little Lolita. The yak looked like a sheep from a distance, with a rider on its back. Wearing saddle cloth, the village chief came on a yak.
"Let's go." Le Yun saw the yak's eyes shining, spread her legs and rushed.
He Mingzhi greeted the village chief's uncle in Tibetan, and accompanied the little beauty to run towards the yak. The village chief's family was setting up a tent. He heard Dawa's grandson shouting and responded with a smile. Many villagers also heard it and looked towards him with a smile. A little guest from afar.
He Xiaowu accompanied the little Lolita to the vicinity of the yak and grabbed the reins of the yak. Tibetan cattle never wear nose rings. They can put on bridles and saddles and ride on them. Of course, this refers to tameness. Those who are familiar or untrained may be hit or gored by the horns if they come close.
He Xiaowu held the cow, and Le Yun happily skipped to the yak, patted the cow's shoulder, smiled, turned over and climbed onto the cow's back, and sat firmly, so happy that she couldn't even see her eyebrows. The Le family also had cows before. , she could climb on the back of a cow and sit on it. Later, because her grandfather passed away and no one took care of the cow, Grandpa Zhou Man bought the cow and raised it, and it still exists today.
The little beauty jumped onto the back of the cow. He Mingzhi was a little dumbfounded. Her posture was so handsome and she was even more nimble than him. Could it be that the little beauty was the legendary know-it-all?
After confirming that the little girl was sitting firmly, he led the cow and walked slowly. The little girl on the cow's back smiled brightly. After walking for about a hundred meters, the little girl stopped, turned over and jumped off the cow's back.
"Little beauty, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" He Mingzhi quickly let go of the reins and ran to the little Lolita and asked.
"No, the cow is tired and needs to rest." Le Yun patted the cow's head and jumped briskly on the meadow. In May, the plateau grassland is green and yellow, with dead grass and budding buds. Desolation and vitality coexist. , just like the environment and climate in Province Z, they are as contradictory as they are mutually inclusive.
"How does the little beauty know that she is tired?" He Mingzhi accompanied the little Loli to the camping place.
"I'm a medical student. Whether it's a person or an animal, there are signs of fatigue and illness. Just look, listen, and smell." "
Little beauty, does my grandma... have a good health index?" He Mingzhi hesitated and asked in a low voice. The pretty doctor didn't say anything. He felt that his grandmother's health was not as good as before.
"She is worse than the eldest lady in your family, but not as good as the third old lady in your family. She has a peaceful mind, a broad heart and a fat body. In terms of her body, if nothing happens, there will be no danger in the next year and a half."
He Mingzhi frowned slightly. The little beauty meant that their grandmother's health was not too optimistic, because she said one and a half years, not three or five years.
Because the great-grandmother's health still rested on the shoulders of little Loli, he couldn't immediately ask little Loli to help his grandma with diagnosis and treatment. After all, he was at grandma's house now. It felt very inappropriate to ask her for help now, so he decided to wait until he returned to Beijing. Later, I would find time to talk to little Lolita about grandma’s health problems.
In order to prove that he is not an idler, He Xiaoliu helped his brothers move things and set up tents. When he saw Brother Fifteen playing with the little Lolita, it was called jealousy, but he could only be jealous. Who told him that he didn't understand Tibetan? .
Classmate Le Xiao jumped back to the camp to watch the handsome guys working in an orderly manner.
The tents were too big, so it took a lot of time to put them up. It took a few handsome guys dozens of minutes to put the two tents firmly on the ground, put tarps inside, soft mats, and carpets. Each tent has a stove for burning cow dung, as well as basins and stainless steel kettles for boiling water.
There were two tents, one for the people who purchased Cordyceps sinensis, and one for the He family brothers and little Lolita to live in. After setting up camp, they brought a small amount of dried cow dung from the car and lit a fire to warm the tents. Sit back and wait for another delivery truck to arrive.
The villagers set up tents, and some people returned to the village to transport cow dung and other necessary items. The official day for digging Cordyceps was the 16th. The previous few days were preparation time for the villagers to set up operations and transport items. As for those who had set up camps, they did not They would secretly go to the mountains to dig up Cordyceps sinensis, because there are sacrificial activities held before digging up the grass, and then they would dig out the grass in the mountains.
He Mingjun received a vehicle transporting supplies on the road and took them to the camp site. They were two hours late. It was almost noon when they arrived. Everyone was busy moving supplies, including sleeping bags, personal luggage, and some cows. Manure and smokeless charcoal, mineral water in pure water barrels, pots and pans for cooking, as well as rice, vegetables, dry food and other items.
After everything was sorted, it was time for lunch. Mr. and Mrs. Cini and Mr. and Mrs. Wangdui made lunch for the guests, and everyone enjoyed a Tibetan meal together.
In the afternoon, He Mingjun and his eighth brother He Mingtao drove back to the village with their uncles to help carry fuel. By mid-afternoon, a fuel company also delivered the dried cow dung fuel ordered by the He family brothers to the village, and helped transport the fuel to the camp site. The place just left.
In the afternoon, the children of the villagers who were outside also returned to the village to live in the place where they set up tents, waiting to dig grass in the mountains tomorrow. Among them were Dawa's grandchildren. There were two boys and a girl in Zini, and three boys in Wangdui. A girl, Pubu also has four children, and Pasang only has a son and a daughter.
He Xiaosan's and He Xiaoshiwu's older cousins are adults and married. He Xiaosan is older but still single. He Xiaoshiwu is still studying, which is another matter.
Two of Dawa's grandchildren have joined the army, and two have graduated from college or junior college and returned to their hometown to work. The children who did not go to college have at least attended junior high school. It can be said that Dawa's family is also a prominent family in the village.
The grandsons of the Dawa family who were paid by the state did not come back to dig cordyceps. The children who worked outside sometimes came home to dig grass, but sometimes they did not necessarily come back, and sometimes they only dug for a few days.
The grandchildren of the Dawa family are not divided into different families. They all live together. The younger generation also has children. The oldest is seven or eight years old, and the youngest is three or four years old. It is very lively. The brothers of the He family and their cousin The siblings chatted and ate.
Leyun has a good memory, but when faced with so many names, many of which are very similar, she feels dizzy. Fortunately, she has children. She plays with them, eats candies, reads textbooks, and helps them with their homework. It is also an honor for her to do so. received a look of admiration.
