Chapter 536 There is hope
"Here it comes, a hundred-year-old ginseng!" Li came out of the house hurriedly with the ginseng and handed it over.
The doctor took it and looked at it. He was delighted, smelled it, and said excitedly: "This ginseng is at least 180 years old. Ginseng of this age is rare. Even in the general's mansion, you can't find two. Young master can at least hold on for two months. Madam, where did you get this ginseng?"
Li reluctantly said, "My daughter dug it up from the mountains. One year she went into the mountains to pick mushrooms or something, and she happened to come across it and dug it up. It was just a coincidence."
When Zhou Guo heard about going into the mountains to pick mushrooms, he paused, raised his head, and shouted, "I remember now!"
Everyone turned their heads and asked, "What did you remember?"
Zhou Guo felt that if it weren't for the roof, she would have jumped out of the house in excitement.
"I remembered where I saw this thing. Mom, it's in the mountains, it's in the mountains!!"
Blue flowers.
That year, she was picking pine mushrooms in the mountains and saw a bunch of blue flowers on a rock. She wanted to dig them up and plant them.
This really surprised and delighted everyone.
Old Zheng and the doctor, in particular, stood there in a daze.
They have been looking for this thing for more than a month. Not only are they looking for it, the general has also sent people to look for it, but there is still no news after such a long time.
He looked worse and worse. He was breathing out more than breathing in, and his face looked dead.
As soon as they moved him back, they found out that there was such precious ginseng that could not only prolong life, but also something that so many of them had spent so much time and effort to find but had not been found, and this little girl actually said she had seen it before.
I couldn't help but sigh that Zhou Dacang really didn't deserve to die.
The Li family members were so excited that they cried out loud, clasped their hands together, and chanted that it was thanks to the Zhou family's ancestors that they survived the disaster and were saved.
Zhou Guo did not dare to delay and asked, "Doctor, is there any particular requirement for digging this herb? Do you want the roots, leaves, or flowers? But at this time of year, the flowers are probably gone."
The doctor smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady. Even if there are no flowers, the roots are fine. The whole plant can be used as medicine."
Zhou Guo felt relieved and said, "I'll go now."
He went back to the house, got a small backpack and a hoe, and walked out without looking back.
Zhou Gu and the others didn't clamor to go along because they all knew they would be a hindrance.
The old man was even less likely to go, as the family was in chaos and the mountain had to be looked after. He had to go and look after the farm, otherwise there would be chaos without a backbone.
The doctor said to Lao Zheng: "Now that we have found the medicine, let's start making preparations."
Old Zheng understood.
He turned to the Li family and said, "Sister-in-law, you guys go out first."
Li nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'll go cook for you. You've come so far, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
Lao Zheng smiled and said, "Thank you very much, sister-in-law. We haven't eaten yet."
Li felt very guilty and was also panicked. So many people came to her house, and there were more than a dozen people outside. She didn't know how far she had come, and she didn't even have time to offer a sip of water to others.
He hurried out to entertain the guests.
But when I went out, I saw Wang Fugui, Chen and others already greeting people. They were drinking bowls of tea, and the fire was already lit in the kitchen.
Chen came forward and saw her red eyes. She didn't dare to ask, but said, "Tea has been poured for them, rice has been steamed, and vegetables from the garden have been picked. But whether to kill the chicken and what dish to make still needs your decision."
Li said, "I really don't know how to thank you. Look at me in this room. I was so flustered that I didn't know what to do and neglected the guests. I'll do it. Don't be in a hurry to leave. Give me a hand."
Chen said, "Of course, we are all friends. Zhou Xing and I are enough to handle the kitchen. You have to take care of so many people."
Without a master, things will never be successful.
Li nodded. Her family had never experienced anything like this before, but it was not that she had forgotten about it. She called Zhou Gu and Zhou Mai, "Go and take care of the food. I'll go to the kitchen to help prepare the food."
He also instructed: "These people have taken great pains to escort your uncle back. They are great benefactors of our family. We cannot neglect them. You must treat them with care."
"Yes, we got it." The three of them answered in unison. They had seen several big scenes in the past few years, especially Zhou Gu. He followed Grandpa Zhou Guo to several big restaurants in several provincial capitals to discuss business. If he couldn't do anything else, couldn't he handle greeting guests?
Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi had been in school for two years. No matter how much they learned, they had completely mastered the scholar's manners. They could talk and laugh in a pompous manner without making people feel uncomfortable.
Li looked at it for a while, felt relieved, and followed Chen and Zhou Xing to the kitchen.
There is no shortage of meat at home now. Pieces of bacon, cured fish and cured rabbit are hung on the beams.
She took down some cured fish and cured meat, and Zhou Xing washed them and planned to steam one to eat.
After thinking about it, there are not many sea cucumbers and abalone left. Even if all of them are cooked, it may not be enough. It is better to keep them for Zhou Dacang to nourish his body.
I went to the ice cellar and brought up a basket of pine mushrooms.
I asked Wang Fugui to kill three chickens and planned to make chicken stewed with pine mushrooms.
Stir-fry some pine mushroom slices.
Stewed cured rabbit and white radish.
It just so happened that there was a piece of fresh meat at home, so I stir-fried some carrots and meat slices and sprinkled them with soy sauce and pine mushroom powder. The whole family loved it.
Finally, stir-fry the cabbage.
Although six dishes are a little less, the quantity is sufficient and I think it is enough for them to eat.
The house is bustling with activity.
Zhou Guo ran into the mountains alone, carrying a small backpack and holding a hoe.
As she ran, she tried to recall which mountain the place was on, and whether she would be able to recognize it if the flowers had withered.
After entering the mountain, she climbed over two mountains according to the route she remembered, and only found the mountain on the third time. It seemed like she hadn't been in the mountain for a long time.
I followed the route I remembered and turned over three large rocks. It was only on the fourth time that I found it on a rock that was lying like a toad.
This grass grows on the back of the stone, in a small pit. There are three of them, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find them.
Even the villagers who go up the mountain only have pine mushrooms in their eyes and are busy picking up money. They don't have any time to pay attention to the flowers and grasses.
The flowers are naturally gone at this time.
She took out the paper from her arms and compared them carefully, the shape and veins of the leaf stems, the outline of the edges, and the color and shape of the flowers.
After confirming that it is correct, dig it out carefully. In fact, you don't even need a hoe, it will come out just by pulling it.
The roots of the flowers were also compared, and they are the same!
Zhou Guo almost shed tears.
He took out a handkerchief and wrapped it carefully, then filled the backpack with pine needles, fallen leaves and moss.
Put the handkerchief in carefully, don’t lose it, it’s Zhou Dacang’s life!
Cover it with a layer of moss and leaves.
Then he stood up with the basket on his back with relief and looked around. It was really strange. He didn't find the same grass anywhere else. He didn't know how such a precious grass grew here for no reason.
