Chapter 553: Misleading
Le Yun was having a great time digging cordyceps, but the sun set before she knew it. She couldn't bear to leave. She took advantage of the fact that it would be dark for a long time after the sun set, so she took the time to dig grass.
When the temperature is low at night, Cordyceps stops growing. When the temperature rises during the day, they will break out of the ground when the temperature is suitable for growth.
Of course, because the time for brewing power in the soil is different, some cordyceps sprout in the morning, some sprout later, and some have just been drilled out of the soil the day before or are about to be drilled out of the soil, so people dig it out the next morning. Seedlings can be seen when grassing.
After daytime light, the ground in the alpine meadow also warms up, Cordyceps grows quickly, and more Cordyceps can be found in the afternoon.
With a nose that's sharper than a dog's, Le Yun doesn't have much fun digging grass. Even if she often hides it secretly in space, she still fills two large bottles with the cordyceps she dug up, and also fills the bottle with grass roots. I also packed some in bags.
They didn't know, they were frightened by the comparison. Faced with the astonishing achievements of the little Lolita, the three He brothers completely withered and would never compete with her again.
The little lolita was too capable, but also too greedy, and refused to leave even after the sun set. Yan Xing was helpless, so he had no choice but to risk his life to accompany Junzi. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, he urged her again and again, and every time she got the answer: " Soon, soon."
He Xiaoshiwu and He Xiaoliu knew that they were faster than the little Lolita, and they also had self-awareness. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, they did not delay, and the two of them hurried down the mountain and ran towards the camp.
The sky was slowly getting dark, and little Loli was still reluctant to leave. Yan Xing stood behind her and urged for the twenty-ninth time: "Little Loli, it's going to be dark soon. Stop digging. We'll come back tomorrow." "You.
" Go back by yourself and don't interfere with my picking of herbs." Le Yun didn't even raise her head, backfilled the soil and ran towards the next Cordyceps growth point.
"Little Loli, go home!" Yan Xing was anxious. He ran forward quickly, picked up Little Loli from behind and turned around to run down the mountain.
Suddenly, Le Yun and her whole body fell into an embrace full of masculine scent. Le Yun's muscles and nerves tensed and stretched instantly. Her whole body was so stiff that she was unconscious for a few seconds. She was carried and ran a few meters away. , her lungs were about to explode, her beard and hair stood on end, and her eyes were about to burst: "Yan Xing, let me go!"
The little Lolita's body reaction and tone were seriously wrong. Yan Xing, who was originally running away with the little Lolita in his arms, couldn't. Dare to force her to run again, stand still as quickly as possible, put the delicate and light little girl down, and let her stand on the grass. The sky is deserted, and the dim air envelopes the sky and the earth. Just look at the dim Under the light, he suddenly noticed that the eyes of the little Loli were red, and the beauty's eyes were almost split.
The little Loli's eyes were red, the hand holding the hoe was trembling slightly, and her chest was rising and falling sharply, as if she had been greatly hurt and wronged, and she was about to explode into a world-destroying rage at any time.
He couldn't understand why the little loli reacted so fiercely. Yan Xing's heart was raised, and he tried to comfort her: "Little loli, I'm not being a hooligan. It's not safe in the mountains after it's late, and you refuse to leave. I This is the only last resort. It will get dark soon. Let’s go back, okay?” On a
sunny day in Z province, the sun doesn’t set until about seven o’clock in the evening, and it won’t get dark until eight or nine o’clock. It’s already past eight o’clock, and the sky is gray. It felt like it was pressing down on the top of my head, and the temperature plummeted. The wind carried the cold air of snow across my face, like ice cubes sliding against my face.
The wind mixed with the smell of ice, snow and grass blew past her face, her face was ice-cold, but that coldness could not extinguish the anger in Le Yun's heart. She hated men hugging her the most!
The moment when Yan Xing hugged her from behind and ran away, she thought about the unbearable past of being bullied in junior high school. That year, a group of bribed gangsters blocked her on the way to school and beat her up and humiliated her. Some of them were unwanted. The face-faced rogue hugged her obscenely.
Although she was wearing clothes, she was not violated except for the injuries caused by the beatings. However, the bullying left scars in her heart that would never heal. They were as deep as flesh and blood. She clearly remembered those people rubbing her body. A nauseous feeling that comes and goes.
Even though she was very young, that disgusting feeling has been implanted in her bone marrow. From then on, she hated the physical touch of men and hated the male scent of strangers being too close to her.
She knew that kind of reaction was a mental illness and she had to overcome it by herself. In order to prevent herself from falling into it, she was working hard to correct her mentality and get rid of the influence of the dream demon on her. She insisted on self-exclusion, even if she did not recover. A normal person's reaction to physical touch is bland, but at least she has achieved results and is willing to have normal contact with the opposite sex she doesn't dislike.
However, Yan Xing's sudden sneak attack exploded the past that she had buried, and she couldn't help but think of those annoying hugs in the past few years.
The anger in Le Yun's heart was like a flame, and her hand holding the hoe was stiff. It took all her strength to restrain herself from hitting Yan Xing with the hoe, and she gritted her teeth hard to calm herself down.
Seeing Yan Xing's mouth moving, and hearing what he said, she stared hard at the tall young man of the opposite sex, tried her best to restrain herself from being violent, exhaled hard, and stiffly Turning sideways, dragging his stiff legs, he slowly took the first step, the second step, the third step... one
step after another, and after walking seven or eight steps in a row, the stiff leg muscles relaxed little by little. It took more than ten meters to slowly return to normal, and her legs and feet could move freely. Without saying a word or looking back, Le Yun took out a mask and put it on to cover her face, speeding up and running.
The little loli glared at him with eyes full of hatred. Yan Xing didn't even dare to breathe. He couldn't figure out where he had violated her taboo and made her react so much. When he saw her turning around in anger, , secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed silently.
The little Loli's first few steps were extremely laborious and slow, and then she gradually sped up. When she ran, he ran with her. He didn't dare to go ahead or run to the left or right to annoy her. He followed her right behind her. , keeping a distance of about one meter.
After running down the hilltop and reaching the meadow, the two of them sped up and ran. In the increasingly dim light, their figures flew across the plain like a nighthawk and rushed into the vast distance.
He Xiaoshiwu and He Xiaoliu ran back to the place where the tent was set up at a running speed. When they returned to the tent, they looked back and saw that the little beauty and Brother Long Bao were not there. They went back to the tent to see the myna who was left behind. What did they gain?
He Mingjun and his uncles went down the mountain and returned to their tent. Several villagers were waiting for the cordyceps trade. Xiaoba and Xiao Cheng, who was in charge of purchasing, were helping two other villagers count the number of cordyceps.
The women of the Zini family went to make food, and the men also came to the tent to help with the business. They only helped count the number of cordyceps, put the cordyceps aside, or help clear the soil from the cordyceps.
After sending away the villagers who brought Cordyceps, He Mingjun went to another tent to look around. He didn't see his brothers and the little beauty, so he went to ask Xiaoba: "Xiaoba, the little beauty hasn't come back yet?" "
No. Here." He Mingtao stretched his almost exhausted body and got up: "Third brother, let's cook quickly and boil more water. Xiao Longbao said that the little beauty loves to be clean. She may need to take a bath when she comes back. He Mingjun glared at
his eighth brother, and went to cook with his younger brother to discuss what to eat at night. They used a pressure cooker and a gas tank fire to cook. The stove for burning cow dung was mainly for heating, and there was no Use it to boil water for cooking when you are in a hurry.
When He Mingzhi and He Mingxin returned to his family's territory, he saw his brother simmering mutton soup. He said hello to his uncles first, then slipped to sit by the stove and showed off his day's harvest.
"Okay, stop showing off. You are back. Where are the little beauty and Xiao Longbao?" He Mingtao was particularly unhappy with the treatment that his brothers and brothers could dig cordyceps, but he couldn't go and play. Hum, wait until he fully adapts to the plateau. , he also climbed the mountain to experience the feeling of digging Cordyceps.
"The little beauty is very greedy. She is still racing against time to dig up Cordyceps. We are afraid that we will be left behind if we don't run fast, so we run first." The two little brothers were particularly depressed.
"Did the little beauty dig up a lot of cordyceps?" The two youngest brothers sounded sad. He Mingjun asked them funny, and successfully stepped on their sore feet, making the two brothers blow their beards and stare.
"Really, third brother guessed it, so don't tell me."
"How many cordyceps did the little guest dig up?" Zini asked his nephew while helping to peel off the mud from the cordyceps.
"Uncle, the little beauty dug up about 15 cordyceps. I'm jealous just looking at it."
"Look at how jealous you are, more than a hundred cords are not too much. Some people in our neighboring county can dig three to four hundred cords a day." The neighboring county is the county with the largest cordyceps production in the region. Every village in the pastoral area has Annual income from Cordyceps is at least six to seven hundred thousand.
"I've never dug that much." He Mingzhi really didn't want to tell the truth. In fact, the little beauty dug up at least three hundred grasses.
The little nephew was jealous that others were lucky enough to dig up a lot of cordyceps, which made Zini and Wangdui laugh. They heard the women calling them from the other side of the tent to eat and go back first. They have many children, and there are several nephews here. , there was not enough space in the tent to have a meal together, so everyone took care of their own food first.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and Leyun ran faster and faster. Before it got completely dark, she ran back to the camp. The smell of food was everywhere. The tents looked like white mushrooms scattered on the meadow in the dark. The yaks were Free activities in the wild.
Little Loli seemed angry, but she finally returned to the camp. Yan Xing felt relieved and walked with her to his tent.
Le Yun first put her backpack and cordyceps back into the tent where she would sleep at night, and then went to another tent in the He family.
The He family brothers were worried when the little beauty came back after a long absence. When they saw Xiao Longbao and the little beauty came back, they happily poured hot water for them and asked them to wash their faces and hands first.
I sat next to the Tibetan stove and made a fire, preparing to eat. In the evening, I had radish stewed with mutton soup. Of course, it included Cordyceps sinensis. It was the authentic Cordyceps sinensis mutton soup. It was just one dish. After all, I was in the remote countryside of Z Province. Even if I had money, It was also difficult to buy vegetables, and they had to save the supplies they brought. If they ate all the dry food reserves at the beginning, they would be stretched thin later.
Even the simplest meal of mutton pot was very satisfying to everyone. After the meal, the He family brothers went to the car to get an inflatable bathtub filled with compressed air, and helped the little beautiful doctor carry water to another tent for her. During the bath, the He family sent four brothers to accompany them to dig up cordyceps. The main purpose was to let them take care of the little girl, so the He family brothers put the little beauty first in everything.
As for the elders, if they want to take a bath, they have to boil hot water and take it to the open space outside. The water for bathing is brought back from the river, and the water for drinking is brought with you. If you run out, you can go to the village well to get water.
The little Loli wanted to take a bath, so Yan Xing and He Xiaosan stood at the tent door as bodyguards to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking into the tent and scaring the girl.
Leyun did not refuse the special care from the handsome boys of the He family. She washed her hair and bathed comfortably, poured out the water, and went back to the tent to sit by the fire and peel off her own cordyceps.
When Cordyceps is formed, there will be a film on the surface. When it is first dug out, it will be covered with a layer of soil. After peeling off the filmy layer of clay soil, what will appear inside is the appearance of the worms. Cordyceps does not need to be washed. Peel off the soil and brush off the seedlings. The mud on it will be dried directly in the shade. If washed with water, nutrients will be lost and it may become moldy.
The He family brothers and the purchasing staff bought the cordyceps mud in the tent. Little Loli couldn't pass it, and they didn't think she was withdrawn and unsociable.
The little girl didn't go to the other tent. Yan Xing sat down on the other side where the little Loli put the Cordyceps, and silently helped remove the mud. He was also shocked by the little Loli's harvest. She put the Cordyceps in the bottle. When it was poured out, there was a small pile, at least four to five hundred.
There was no electricity in the place where the cordyceps were dug, and they used battery lights. Neither of them said anything, they just worked. The little girl's hands were very fast. She basically removed five cordyceps, and Mr. Yan peeled off one or two cordyceps, which was about the same. In proportion, the two of them cleaned up the cordyceps mud before eleven o'clock, sealed it with a vacuum packer, and climbed into sleeping bags to sleep.
The He brothers put the cleaned cordyceps in special bags, sealed them to a certain amount, and put them in cardboard boxes. After gathering enough for one box, they moved it to the car and stored it. They were busy until 11:30 in the evening. Go to sleep in the tent where the little loli sleeps. The sleeping bags are lined up in a row of garlic.
The next day, the villagers got up a little later. Little Loli got up before dawn and ran to the toilet. Then she washed her face and hands with the handsome guys from the He family, and made a fire to cook instant noodles. It was just dawn, so she took her own luggage and headed for the morning. In the cold weather, we set out to dig Cordyceps.
Yan Xing and He Mingzhi went out with the little Lolita. He Mingxin and his second brother Bage stayed behind to collect the villagers to send cordyceps and clean the cordyceps mud. He Mingjun went out to dig grass with his uncles.
Tibetans who have grown up in Tibet are used to digging for Cordyceps. They go out in the morning, come back at night, and eat dry food on the mountain at noon. Some people finish digging and send the Cordyceps to He's family, and some don't send it until the next morning. Go, some have the mud peeled off, and some still have mud. The purchase price is slightly different. Generally speaking, the ones with the mud peeled off are one or two yuan more expensive, while the ones without the mud peeled off are cheaper.
Purchasing staff have adapted to the work of collecting and clearing Cordyceps, and a large amount of cash goes out of their hands every day. The amount of cash can reach one million a day, and nearly 200,000 in cash can be flowed out in one day.
