After Man Bao took care of all the wounded soldiers, he rushed to find Bai Shan, "Let's go dig flowers and plants."
Bai Shan is busy. The emperor is currently dealing with the cities that have been conquered during this period. Those who want to change their names need to choose officials from the court to take over the city. They also need to choose some local elders from rich families to meet with them to show the emperor's kindness. , and then give them the position of first or second in command.
After these things are decided by the emperor, they need to write imperial decrees and official documents to explain them. Sometimes the emperor can't remember who is who, and they have to remember for the emperor.
I really thought that people from Zhongshushe were easy to do, and those with a poor memory could not stay in front of the emperor, otherwise they would be slapped the next day if the emperor asked him three questions.
But being so busy, Bai Shan still thought about it and said, "You wait until I arrive at Shen Shi."
"Forget it," Man Bao said, "The days are short now, and it will be dark at most two hours after the new time. You can give me Daji, and I will take him there."
Bai Shan: "...you want good luck, right?"
Man Bao chuckled, "I don't want to take others with me."
Bai Shan sighed and said: "Okay, you go, take the two guards of the family with you, there are a lot of defeated troops now, the forest may not be safe, it will be bad if deserters are accidentally hidden inside."
Man Bao nodded and went to find Daji.
So after lunch they went into the mountains with their medicine baskets on their backs.
Because he knew the place was far away, Man Bao went there on horseback.
At first they could ride horses, but when they entered the depths of the forest, there were branches everywhere, and it was no longer good for them to ride horses, so they had to get off their horses and tie them down.
Keke guided her to look for it, and after a while, Man Bao followed Daji with a medicine hoe, and said to Keke: "Don't scan too far, if you go in too deep, it's not only dangerous, but we can't scan too far." Come out."
Keke doesn't care about her, it just scans. As for whether to dig, that's Man Bao's business.
Man Bao was speechless, and could only follow Ke Ke's guidance, and finally found the plant it designated, so he dug.
Man Bao looked at it and didn't think it was medicine, but whatever, take it first.
There was also a towering tree that had never been seen before on the road. Man Bao walked around it, and finally excused that the branch seemed to be useful for calming the mind, so Daji climbed up and broke a branch for her.
In fact, if Daji didn't stop her, she could climb up by herself.
The two guards obviously rarely came out to dig things with Zhou Man, and they couldn't accept such unreasonable troubles from their mistress for a while.
But Daji's face remained the same, he took off his shoes, climbed up the tree, and cut off a branch and leaf for her with a knife.
Man Bao kept it very well. The things were not easy to come by. She decided to divide them into several sections after going back. Not only can they be included in the encyclopedia, but they can also be posted on the forum.
Continuing forward, Man Bao saw a piece of ginseng in a place where the rotten leaves were thick.
It's really a piece.
It was the first time she saw this thing. The ginseng she had seen before was dried in the shade, and she had never seen raw ginseng.
Man Bao trotted forward and knelt down to look.
She pushed aside the dead leaves on the ground, started looking at the bright eyes of these ginseng, and asked Keke: "Is it big?"
"There are two big ones, and the others are smaller."
Man Bao heard from shopkeeper Zheng Da that ginseng is very difficult to dig out, especially the whole ginseng, whose whiskers will break if you are not careful.
However, Korean ginseng is only found in the Liaodong area, and the participation in the Central Plains is different from theirs.
Man Bao put down the medicine basket, took the medicine hoe, and solemnly said to Daji: "We must be careful when digging this thing. Forget it, I'll dig it myself."
She was afraid that they would dig it up, it was all money.
So Man Bao took the hoe and started digging. It was her first time digging, so she first found a small ginseng tree next to her to practice her hands. She was already careful, but she still accidentally tore several roots. Must have.
Man Bao summed up his experience in his heart, and immediately dug the second root, and finally it didn't break any more.
The three of Daji opened their mouths in surprise when Zhou Man dug out the first ginseng. They actually found such a good thing. No, it was the mistress who found such a good thing.
The two guards couldn't help swallowing.
Daji was also surprised, but soon calmed down. Seeing that she was digging hard, he simply took a hoe and said, "I'll dig it for you from the side."
This way, the speed is faster, the scope of digging is larger, and ginseng is also better.
Man Bao answered.
Man Bao dug a full five of them, all of which were good ones that Ke Ke had chosen for her, and the rest were a bit small, so Man Bao didn't dig them.
Pushing the soil back and filling the pits, Man Bao clapped his hands and looked happily at the five ginsengs that were just dug out and placed on the ground, two of them were big, with big heads and fat bodies Yes, it is also divided into four sections, which look like human arms and legs.
Daji found a piece of dirty cloth in the back basket, which was originally intended to wrap the roots of medicinal materials. He knew that Manbao had the habit of wrapping the roots back for planting, and sometimes dug some soil to take back.
"Miss, wrap it up with this."
"good."
Man Bao carefully put the ginseng on it, wrapped it up and put it under the basket, she said to the three of them: "You know about this, I know, don't you tell others?"
The guard armor asked in a daze: "Then what if the young master asks?"
Man Bao was speechless.
Guard B patted him and said: "The eldest lady will tell the young master."
Only then did the guard remember, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.
Manbao gained a lot, and asked Keke: "Is there anything nearby that hasn't been included?"
"No, the nearest one is on the other side of this mountain. It takes about two hours to walk from here."
Well, it's getting dark now.
Man Bao touched the back basket and asked it, "You haven't included ginseng yet, can you scan the raw ginseng that appears within the scope before you include it?"
Keke seemed to know what she wanted to do, after a moment of silence, he said, "Yes."
Man Bao smiled instantly, his smile was so bright, Daji couldn't help laughing when he saw her smiling face, "Young lady is so happy."
Man Bao nodded: "Very happy."
"Don't get too excited," Keke said, "If you don't collect it for a long time, it will lose its activity and you won't be able to collect it, but you may not have time to collect the next one."
What he said seemed to make sense, Man Bao hesitated and said to it: "I'll go back and think about it."
Man Bao happily returned to the camp with a basket on his back. When he returned, it was almost dark. Bai Shan stood at the gate of the camp and waited for them. You left food, you have to come out earlier next time, it’s dangerous after dark.”
