The people on the mountain are now ready to go down the mountain and go home for dinner. Seeing Zhou Zhoulang carrying a hoe up the mountain, many people laughed and said, "Hey, Shiro is so hardworking, are you going to stay up late?"
"It's good to be young, look at this drive."
"Thursday, how much winter wheat is your family planning to plant? I think you brothers have dug enough mud these days, and you even came up with a hoe today..."
Zhou Zhoulang responded with a smile. After entering the mountain, he did not go to Zhou Zhoulang, but took Manbao to the depths. The two pine trees were very close to the deep forest just now, but now there is almost no one in that area.
Some people didn't care if they saw Zhou Zhoulang's brother and sister in the past. Anyway, at this time, people who entered the mountain were either digging you or ye leaves, and everyone was used to it.
Zhou Zhoulang looked left and right, saw that no one was paying attention, so he swung his hoe and began to hoe two feet away from the pine tree.
He hoeed down about ten centimeters, but found nothing, so he dug in carefully.
He didn't dare to use too much force, he just hoeed and loosened a little bit of dirt, and then dug outside, and continued when he found nothing.
Although this is cautious, the speed is also a little slow. He dug for a long time, and he only saw a layer of dark brown skin when he was almost close to the tree stump.
Zhou Zhoulang became excited, and slowly dug around along the layer of skin.
After a while, a large place was dug out along the half of the pine tree. Of course, the poria cocos underneath was not very big, but it penetrated quite deep, and part of it was tightly wrapped with the roots of the pine tree.
Zhou Zhoulang heard that that part is also a medicinal material, called Fushenmu. Just hearing the name, Zhou Zhoulang felt that this part was much more important than Poria cocos.
Because other people have three characters, it only has two characters, and there is a divine character in the middle of other characters.
So Zhou Zhoulang was more gentle. This may be the clothes and meat of his wife and future children. Of course he has to be careful.
"Shirou, what are you doing?"
A roar suddenly sounded from behind, scaring Zhou Zhoulang almost to the ground, and Man Bao, who was squatting aside and watching intently, was startled, she didn't have Zhou Lang's concentration, she just sat down on the ground, and then deflated I'm going to cry when I pout my mouth.
Hearing that Zhou Zhou Lang was carrying a hoe up the mountain, but he didn't come to help, so Zhou Zhou Lang, who came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, paused for a moment, then rushed up to comfort Man Bao, "Man Bao, did the second brother scare you?"
Zhou Zhoulang also didn't care about the Poria in the pit, and immediately turned around to comfort Man Bao, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the fourth brother is here, the second brother scares you, right? I'll beat him for you."
As soon as he said to beat him up, Zhou Zhoulang turned around and gave Zhou Zhoulang a slap on the shoulder, looked at Man Bao nervously and said, "How about it, are you still afraid?"
Man Bao: "...not afraid."
Both brothers exhaled, the memory of old Zhou Tou frightening Man Bao last year and making her have a high fever is really deep.
Zhou Zhou Lang rubbed his shoulders, glared at Zhou Zhou Lang secretly, glanced at the hole he dug, and asked, "Why are you digging tree roots?"
Zhou Zhou Lang gave him a flattering smile, and whispered, "Second brother, this is not a tree root. Man Bao said that it is called Poria cocos, and it is a blind medicine."
"Poria cocos?" Zhou Zhoulang lifted his spirits, and looked at the things in the pit brightly, "Man Bao, is this really Poria cocos? I remember this thing is white."
"It's white," Zhou Zhoulang became excited, and said cheerfully, "The meat is white. Second brother, you've seen Poria cocos. Is it expensive?"
Zhou Zhoulang thought for a while and said: "It should be expensive. I heard someone said that the female relatives of rich families like to use this thing to make desserts. It is usually a good medicinal material."
Since it is something that can make money, of course Zhou Zhoulang would not blame Zhou Zhoulang for not doing his job properly, so he rolled up his sleeves and knelt down to help.
The two of them dug down little by little, and after digging out the soil under the poria cocos, they carefully separated it from the pine root. Seeing the exposed white flesh, Zhou Zhoulang was overjoyed.
Man Bao wants to fill all the soil back and restore it to its original state. This is what she intends to say, "Fungaceae always seem to like to grow in place. If we fill the soil back, maybe another piece will grow next year."
Zhou Zhoulang and the others didn't understand it very well, but they listened to Man Bao, and it was not difficult to fill the soil in place. Zhou Zhou Lang also reached out and patted the pine tree stump, and said with a smile, "Do you want to fertilize it? This will make it grow faster."
Zhou Yilang glanced at him, "Your house is so fat, you just need to get more fallen leaves here to fill its roots."
Zhou Zhoulang put away his things, stared at the roots of other trees, and asked, "Is this thing easy to find? Is there any more here?"
"There is another one over there. Both of them were found by the pine stump. I suspect that we have to find the pine stump."
The two brothers took Manbao to look for it, Zhou Zhoulang said in a deep thought: "Pine stump, then we have to cut down the pine tree? It may not be able to grow, we certainly can't cut down so many pine trees."
Zhou Zhoulang also immediately thought of Zhongshan, rolled his eyes, lowered his voice and said: "Fourth, will you go to Zhongshan to see tomorrow?"
"That's what I planned too."
The two brothers looked at each other, understanding.
Zhou Zhoulang warned: "Be careful, don't let the people in Dali Village see it. If people in the village ask, you can say to find wild mushrooms. If you meet people in Dali Village, you can say the same."
Thursday Lang should go down.
Man Bao said: "It is not wrong to say that you are looking for wild fungi, Poria cocos is the fungus family."
Tuesday Lang's eyeballs almost popped out, "Is that pile of roots like fungi?"
Man Bao nodded. Although Keke didn't analyze its name, he was sure that it was Mycobacteriaceae. There was nothing wrong with that.
Zhou Yilang and Zhou Zhoulang were silent for a long time, and the brothers couldn't help sighing, "Reading is really useful."
Zhou Zhoulang whispered: "Second brother, why don't you send Datou and the others to study before the family has money?"
Zhou Zhoulang sighed, "The big head and the second head are probably not good enough, let's raise the three heads and four heads, and we can try it when they are a little older."
Even if Manbao doesn't teach them textbooks every day, he will give them homework, but they also see the children's learning.
There are so many children in the family, including Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang, who follow Man Bao to recognize a few words, but Erya is the one who really recognizes characters faster.
Datou and Ertou are just two lumps of elm wood that don't understand. Lao Zhoutou can remember many words, but Datou and Ertou can't.
You must know that Man Bao said that children have a better memory than adults and learn faster.
Even the old man remembered faster than the two children.
Tuesday Lang sighed sadly.
He reached out and patted Zhou Lang on the shoulder, and said, "Hurry up and give birth to one, take care of it, maybe you will be smarter."
He thought about it, "I also have to tell your second sister-in-law that I have to have another son..."
After listening to the whole process, Man Bao: …
