Chapter 59 Tea Saplings
The next day Xiang Wan got up early, washed up and got ready to go out.
Xiang Xiong came out of the kitchen and called to Xiang Wan who was leaving: "Dear girl, I didn't mean to treat them to candies. There are still some fruit candies left, and they are all placed on the cabinet in my room."
"Okay," Xiang Wan walked into Xiang Xiong's room, grabbed a large handful of fruit candies and put them into his pocket. There were about twenty of them.
Then he said something to Wan Tong Xiangxiong and went out, heading towards Hu Cuicui's house.
Hu Cuicui's home is only five minutes away from Xiang Wan's home. As soon as Xiang Wan walked to the door, he met Hu Cuicui who was carrying a bag and going out. When the two saw each other, they were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.
"Xiao Wan, I was just going to find you."
"What a coincidence, I'm here to find you," Xiang Wan said, smiling at Hu Cuicui again, and continued: "Yesterday we agreed to gather at the foot of the mountain in the morning. Ren Qiang and the others should be there. Let's go there together. Yesterday they arrested
Two pheasants.”
"Caught two? So powerful. Xiao Wan, please wait a moment. I'll go back and get some lard. Qiangzi only brings chili powder every time."
After saying that, Hu Cuicui hurriedly ran home. After a while, she ran out again when she was hungry, and the two of them walked towards the foot of the mountain.
Ren Qiang and the three of them were indeed there by then, and had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Xiang Wan and the others coming, he called them up the mountain.
It was still the same place as before. Ren Qiang put the prepared pheasant on the fire and roasted it. The potatoes and sweet potatoes that several people brought from home were also buried in the fire.
Afterwards, several people ate enthusiastically on the mountain, and finally cleared up the mess. Seeing that it was still early, Ren Qiang was eager to catch pheasants.
After some discussion, several people decided to go inside now to look for pheasants.
"When the villagers go up the mountain later, it will be difficult to catch game in the mountains. We have to satisfy their appetite before they go up the mountain, otherwise we will have to wait until next year."
Xiang Wan couldn't help but wonder: "What do people in the village do in the mountains? Hunting?"
Several people shook their heads at the same time, and Quan Tianxiang explained from the side: "When the busy farming season is over, people will come to the village to collect mountain products. At that time, many people will organize to go to the mountains to pick, and those wild animals will hide when they hear the noise, so it is difficult to catch them.
"
Only then did Xiang Wan understand. Thinking of the wild beast, the desire in his heart was ready to move again.
Authentic wild mountain products are worth a lot of points on the platform!
Ren Qiang and the others had been going up the mountain since childhood and were most familiar with the outside of the mountain. They took Xiang Wan a little closer inside. Ren Qiang found pheasant feathers on the ground, so he asked Xiang Wan and Hu Cuicui to wait where they were. The three
The boys looked around.
"Xiao Wan, what are you looking at?"
Xiang Wan carefully checked the roots of the surrounding trees and said without looking back for a hundred years: "I'm looking to see if there are any mushrooms or anything. I heard that fried meat with mushrooms is particularly delicious."
Beauty and foodie are really contradictory, Hu Cuicui laughed out loud: "It's sunny every day these days, where do the mushrooms come from? They are only plentiful in the rainy season, and even if there are any, they have been picked long ago, but I heard that in the village before
Grandpa Orion said that there are many old mountain products in the innermost part of the mountain. When Grandpa Orion was young, he also found a century-old ginseng, which is worth a lot of money."
Xiang Wanmeng turned back and walked quickly to Hu Cuicui, with a face full of surprise: "Century-year-old ginseng? That's an excellent thing. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. I heard that it can only be found in deep mountains."
"Yes, those strange things are all in the deep mountains, but there are many wild animals inside, and if you don't pay attention, you will die. That's why the family doesn't let us go in, and only lets us play outside."
There are wild beasts in the mountains. This is not a lie. There are leopards, tigers and black bears in the mountains.
Xiang Wan had only seen those ferocious beasts in the zoo. He was frightened by those ferocious beasts when he watched them through the thick glass. What's more, if he faced them in reality, he would have to lie down directly. At least he would die gracefully.
Xiang Wan remembered that Peng Qingliang went to the village every year to collect tea leaves, so he took the initiative to ask: "Cui Cui, I heard that there are tea trees in the mountains, do you know where they are?"
"You know, in the past two years, bosses from the city have come to the village to collect tea leaves. They brought them to their uncles, which made the village a lot of money. The tea trees are not far from where we used to bake potatoes, and the villagers will be happy when they have time.
Go over and take a look.”
Seeing Xiang Wan looking forward to it, Hu Cuicui asked: "Do you want to go? If you want to go, I will take you there for a while."
Xiang Wan nodded hurriedly: "Okay, you will take me there later."
After a while, Ren Qiang and others came back with disappointed faces. After asking, they found out that the three of them had been looking for a long time but had not seen any trace of the pheasant, so they had to return disappointed.
"Let's go down the mountain. We probably won't be able to catch him today. Come back next time."
"good."
Passing by the barbecue place, Hu Cuicui suddenly said: "Xiao Wan wants to see the tea trees. I will take her there to have a look. You can go back first. It won't be easy for us to go home anyway."
Ren Qiang thought for a while and nodded.
Quan Tianxiang wanted to follow Xiang Wan, but seeing Ren Qiang and Jiao Ziyuan preparing to go down the mountain, it was not convenient for him as a boy to follow, so he didn't say anything.
Hu Cuicui led Xiang Wan for a short distance into the woods, pointed ahead and said: "Xiao Wan, that's where the tea trees are. That area is full of tea trees. In the past two years, people from the village have often come here to water the new trees.
It’s grown a lot.”
Xiang Wan looked in the direction Hu Cuicui pointed, and sure enough he saw a green tea tree not far away, covering an area of several acres.
The two of them quickened their pace and walked to the tea trees. They looked at Wan carefully and found that some of the tea trees inside had small saplings sprouting around them. They looked full of life but fragile and easy to break.
Seeing Xiang Wan staring at the saplings, Hu Cuicui took the initiative and said: "Those saplings have to grow for a long time to be as tall as a tea tree, and they also need to absorb the nutrients of the tea tree. It is estimated that uncles and uncles from the village will come to chop them down in the next few days."
Xiang Wan asked: "Is there no one to collect the saplings?"
Hu Cuicui wondered: "Is anyone still collecting saplings? Those saplings take a long time to grow, and it will take a long time to take them back. It's better to just buy tea trees."
Xiang Wan thought about it, after all, it was a waste of time that only a 'wonder' like himself needed.
After Xiang Wan carefully noted the location, he walked down the mountain at Hu Cuicui's urging.
Xiang Xiong had just finished lunch and was thinking about when his daughter would come back when he heard the movement in the yard. He looked out of the kitchen and saw the daughter he was thinking about. He smiled and asked, "Are you having fun? Go wash your hands and eat. Come back early."
, don’t let dad worry.”
"I know, Dad, I was supposed to come back earlier, but I asked Cuicui to take me to see the tea trees, so I was delayed. I will definitely come back early next time."
"Look at the tea trees. Is it the same as what dad said?"
Xiang Wan nodded: "I didn't expect so many tea trees to grow in the mountains. No wonder Brother Peng makes a lot of money selling tea every year."
