Li Muyang worked until the dogs in the mountain village stopped barking, and then he returned home after a long journey.

On the road, he was covered with moonlight, looking at his lonely shadow, thinking about when he could marry Lin Xiuli back.

Knowing that she was going to be his wife, still keeping her in her parents' home was a bit of a waste no matter what.

If she is here, it will be more exciting to work by yourself, and you no longer have to think about what to do if I leave you at home after you go out.

After returning home, he fetched a basin of water, washed the dirt off his body at the door of the room, then boiled another basin of hot water and carried it back to the room.

He sleeps on the same kang as his mother at night and helps her cover the quilt at any time.

The mother's right hand can move, but her left hand cannot move. What she can do is very limited. If the quilt happens to be turned to the left, there is nothing she can do.

"Five, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Mother woke up again.

Now she sleeps in fits and starts, always feeling drowsy, but she can't sleep for long each time.

"I'll soak my feet and brush off the cordyceps."

Cordyceps sinensis is dug out from the soil, so the insect body is stained with a lot of soil. If it is not brushed off in time, the soil will continue to provide energy to the cordyceps sinensis, allowing its buds to grow further, and the useful ingredients will be consumed.

The dim light of the kerosene lamp shone on Li Muyang, making his figure look unusually tall. Yuan Rufeng looked at him working hard and said distressedly: "Wu, you have to find a partner quickly. This person is

Life is too hard."

Li Muyang smiled: "Mom, you don't have to pay for your wife to get married. Look at the life our family is living now. Who's girl would be willing to marry her?"

"Alas..."

When money issues are mentioned, Yuan Rufeng will appear very melancholy and helpless.

Of course she also understands this truth. To marry a wife, you need to pay for it. How can you marry someone whose pocket is cleaner than your face?

Which girl is willing to marry a pauper?

Seeing that his mother was a little uneasy, Li Muyang comforted her and said, "Don't be in a hurry, mother. There must be a road to the mountain. As long as our life gets better, we can have fewer wives. I promise you, before the Chinese New Year this year,

I will definitely get you a wife back!"

"You baby, just look for it as you say. Wherever you go, pick it up on the road. You're so old and you can't even speak in tune." His mother criticized him with a smile.

"Don't worry about it. I will definitely find it anyway, so don't worry."

Yuan Rufeng smiled again.

There is no need to continue to discourage my son.

Among the nine children, this child was the most honest, so he foolishly put himself beside him to take care of him, saying that he was not married and would be easier to take care of.

Isn’t this a lie?

You are all married. You don't care about me. If you let a man like the fifth child serve me, how do you want him to find a wife?

Even if people don’t dislike the fact that their family is poor, which girl would be willing to accept my body?

Not only can’t my son do odd jobs, take care of the children, etc., but he also needs someone to take care of him. His own daughter can’t handle it, so what kind of wife can he expect?

I'm afraid that by then, I will become a homeless old woman.

Li Muyang worked very quickly. After all, there were only nineteen cordyceps. The hot water under his feet had not yet cooled down. The soil on the surface of the cordyceps on his side had been brushed away, revealing its original appearance.

The quality of cordyceps in Gansu is not as good as in Tibet, or even in Qinghai. The cordyceps in Tibet are the best. If you brush off the floating mud on the outside, they will become golden and plump.

The color from Qinghai is also slightly darker, slightly blackened, but still very full, and it can be considered a very good category.

When arriving in Gansu, the color of the Cordyceps becomes even worse, with a faint black-red color on the Cordyceps, and the bulges become larger. The body of the Cordyceps is thin and short, while the body of the Cordyceps protruding out of the body is relatively long.

In addition to these three places, there are also some other places where Cordyceps is scattered sporadically, but the quality of those places is worse and they belong to the lower grade of Cordyceps.

In later generations, some people also began to artificially plant Cordyceps. However, the conditions for the formation of Cordyceps are very harsh, related to many factors such as temperature, climate, humidity, light, day and night temperature difference, soil pH, hydrophobicity, etc. To completely simulate the conditions suitable for their survival, it is also

Quite difficult.

Therefore, the quality of artificially simulated Cordyceps is even worse. Generally, the insect body is small, dark in color, and the grass body on it is very long, just like a dried earthworm. It looks very poor and has poor medicinal effect.<

/p>

But these have nothing to do with Li Muyang.

He wouldn't imagine cultivating Cordyceps by himself, he doesn't have that ability.

It is true that some Chinese herbal medicines can be grown in this mountain, such as astragalus, angelica, notoginseng, bupleurum, honeysuckle, etc. Can you think about these herbs later?

One bite cannot make you a fat man.

Before going to bed at night, Li Muyang carefully placed the canned bottle containing Cordyceps on the windowsill, lay down and looked at it for a while, but felt that it was not safe. What if the bottle rolled down and broke, and the Cordyceps broke?

He got up again and put the cans and bottles in a basket. Even if it rolled over, it fell off the windowsill.

Only then did I blow out the kerosene lamp with satisfaction.

19 sticks are 5 yuan and 70 cents. If you are lucky and the price is slightly higher, you might be able to sell them for 6 yuan.

Those 38 sticks are 12 yuan.

76 sticks is 24 yuan, which is equivalent to the cost of working outside for half a month.

That’s a lot.

I went late today and didn't dig much. If I get up earlier tomorrow, I can dig for two more hours and see if I can dig 25 roots.

If it’s 25, that’s...

Li Muyang only attended the third grade of elementary school, and he was not very good at calculating numbers. After doing calculations for a while, he became confused.

My mind is a mess.

"No matter what he did, the best thing to do is to dig as much as possible before others find out, the better."

He fell asleep beautifully.

Soon I started snoring.

The moonlight drifted in through the small hole in the broken plastic paper on the window and sprinkled on Li Muyang's face. He slept very peacefully, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Xiuli, let's have a bowl of sour noodle soup. The chopped green onions are going to burst with flavor. I'm starving."

In his sleep, he was sitting on the bed counting odd pieces of money one by one, while his wife Lin Xiuli was wearing an apron and busy beside the cooking pot.

"Don't you want the blue shirt that day? We will buy it in the next episode. We have enough money now. We can buy two, wear one, and put another in the box."

.

"Go Gou~"

"Building tall buildings~"

The chickens in the mountain village have no independent thoughts of their own. If any chicken in the village crows, other chickens will surely follow.

In an instant, the whole village will be enveloped in the sound of chickens crowing one after another.

Most people in mountain villages can adapt to this kind of crow. They know that when the chicken crows for the first time, it is around five o'clock in the morning, which is far from dawn.
