"I remember it was in this place, but I didn't mark it at that time. Now I'm afraid it's hard to find it."
After crossing two mountains and coming to a sunny Korean pine forest, sun Delu glanced around, then scratched his head with embarrassment, and said to Ye Lingfeng, "brother ye, it depends on our luck if we can find that old ginseng."
Because there was no mark at that time, and because of the snow, it was already a vast expanse of white, and the leaves of wild ginseng had already withered. As sun Delu thought, it would be extremely difficult to find it from the long snow.
With these words, sun Delu began to heave the snow around him. But last night, it snowed all night, and the snow was almost as deep as the bend of his legs. After a search, there was no harvest except that sun Delu was covered with snow powder.
Take a chance? Ye Lingfeng smiles and says, "brother sun, are you sure that wild ginseng is nearby?"
"Old man, although I'm old, I have a good memory. I can't miss that." Sun Delu nodded. Although he didn't leave a mark at that time, he would never make a mistake about Renshen's growing up in this area.
Hearing sun Delu's words full of confidence, ye Lingfeng moved in his heart and released his mind. As far as he thinks, wild ginseng is a collection of heaven and earth aura growth, has the other name of goblin, God grass, although he does not have the amazing smell of the black emperor, but the idea sent out to the snow, maybe you can find something.
So it is! And just after the spirit spread and explored the area around Sun Delu, ye Lingfeng's eyes suddenly lit up. Because he felt, along with sun Delu's feet are stepping on the position, there is a slight breath fluctuation.
Put away the idea, ye Lingfeng said with a smile: "brother sun, you go to the side, the wild ginseng is trampled by you."
"No?" Sun Delu took a suspicious look at Ye Lingfeng, and then moved his feet away. Just now, he checked the area under his feet, but found no sign. And as far as he thinks, although Ye Lingfeng is an expert, how can he compare his experience in collecting ginseng with that of his old hunter.
Ye Lingfeng smiles and doesn't say much. He just goes to the position where sun Delu's feet are trampled. He pours his internal power into his palm and gently digs towards the ground. As soon as he dug up the soft humus soil layer, a section of earthy yellow radish like plant rhizome was exposed.
"Is it really here?" Sun Delu was stunned. He looked at Ye Lingfeng incredulously and asked, "brother ye, how do you know that the ginseng grows in this place? Are your ancestors also visitors to Changbai Mountain? "
"It's my first time to Changbai Mountain, but you can't learn my skill." Ye Lingfeng a smile, hand slowly toward the ground to insert in, intend to plant ginseng with roots of soil, are dug out from inside.
In a short time, the wild ginseng was dug out of the soil by Ye Lingfeng, and even the hair like whiskers were not damaged. It was a miracle that it was in good condition.
Sun Delu is already staring big eyes, inconceivable looking at Ye Lingfeng. Picking ginseng is a very particular job. Even if you break a little skin or cut a ginseng beard, it will let the ginseng pulp out, and the value will be greatly reduced at that time. Even if an adult ginseng runner wants to dig out a ginseng completely, it will take more than half a day.
It's not to mention that it's just snowing in winter, and the soil layer where ginseng grows has become solid frozen soil. The difficulty of excavation is more than 100 times higher than that in spring and summer. If there is a little mistake, all previous achievements will be wasted.
But when ye Lingfeng arrived here, he dug out a ginseng perfectly.
Sun Delu can't help but wonder if ye Lingfeng is a legendary veteran of Changbai Mountain. Otherwise, how can he have such skillful skills.
However, sun Delu didn't know that after ye Lingfeng's mind dispersed, the roots of the ginseng under the soil layer seemed to grow in front of him. Moreover, after practicing ancient martial arts, ye Lingfeng's hand was more stable than that of the surgeon in charge of the knife. How could he hurt the ginseng.
"Don't mention it. The ginseng really looks like a human." After wiping off the soil on the ginseng, ye Lingfeng sighed heartily.
The main stem of the ginseng is white and fat, and its four branches are like human limbs. The numerous ginseng whiskers on it look like the whiskers hanging down from human mandible. On the whole, it looks like a white and fat old man.
"Liangpinye." Looking at the ginseng in Ye Lingfeng's hand, sun Delu was also a little pleased and said: "brother Ye is really lucky. When I saw this ginseng, it was still a pinye, but now it is two pinye."
"Liangpinye, what do you mean?" Ye Lingfeng a Leng, some doubts looking at Sun Delu asked.
Sun Delu stared at Ye Lingfeng in disbelief and said, "brother ye, you don't even know the grade of ginseng?"
Ye Lingfeng is so skillful. He thinks that even if ye Lingfeng is a descendant of the ginseng picker, he should know the habits of the ginseng like the palm of his hand. But he didn't expect that he didn't even know the grade of the ginseng. However, he can also see that ye Lingfeng's doubts come from his heart. He doesn't seem to be deliberately fooling around. He can only explain to Ye Lingfeng with a bitter smile.The grade of wild ginseng is not calculated by the year, but by the number of leaves it grows. In winter like this, if there are no leaves, it is calculated by the stem and leaf pimples on the head of wild ginseng.
The growth cycle of wild ginseng is very long. Generally, it takes only one to ten years to grow a leaf. At this time, it is called yipinye, which is the beginning of ginseng's medicinal properties. In the jargon of ginseng pickers, yipinye is also called "bazhang".
After 10 to 20 years, the ginseng will grow two leaves. The ginseng pickers call this kind of ginseng the key to the mountain. It means that if you find a small product, you will find the key to open the treasure box, and you can find the older ginseng. Because there are two kinds of leaf ginseng growing area, there may be more ginseng around.
When the growth cycle reaches 30 years, the ginseng will grow three leaves, commonly known as dengtaizi; after 50 years, it will grow four leaves, known as sipingye; after 80 to 100 years, it will grow six leaves, known as liupinye. At this time, even if the ginseng continues to grow, it will never grow leaves again.
