Chapter 23 Environmental Protection Experts
After walking around the grass just now, Lin Tao saw that there were a lot of Codonopsis pilosula in the forest, most of which were in the year. Two of them were at least decades, and there were still many young people growing around them. Although Codonopsis pilosula likes shade, it does not grow completely in shade. Their favorite is the place with sparse sunshine and wet ground.
After using iron shavings to explore the soil and then determine the year, Lin Tao found the thickest Codonopsis pilosula on it and started digging it up.
As soon as the shovel was gone, the soft black humus soil was exposed, mixed with grass leaves, rotten tree roots, etc. If you pull a few carts back, at the entrance of a certain community, those aunts who love to plant flowers and plants would definitely buy it back, but don’t do this.
Lin Tao was very skilled in digging a pit of 40 cm square around the Codonopsis pilosula plant. The soil he dug, including the top layer of turf, was piled up on the side. He dug out about 30 cm in shape, and the thin stems and reed heads of Codonopsis pilosula were all exposed, and the body of Codonopsis pilosula was further down.
Looking at the Codonopsis pilosula, which was about two centimeters in diameter on his head, Lin Tao was a little disappointed. It seemed that the plants above were bigger and the bottom was not necessarily thick. After digging down about ten centimeters, the soil became harder and no longer humus soil. The body of Codonopsis pilosula also became thicker and had no branches. It was not like ginseng that had arms and legs, but just a straight up and down one.
After about half an hour, Lin Tao dug out this Codonopsis, which was about half a meter long. After estimating, it weighed about three or four hundred grams, and the thickest part was at the upper third, about five centimeters in diameter, which was very good. This kind of Codonopsis is definitely not the type of artificially grown Codonopsis that is known as the thickness of pencils in supermarkets, which is called kilograms of pencils.
After carefully putting this Codonopsis pilosula on the side, Lin Tao began to backfill the digging soil, fill it and step on it, and finally covered the top grass, which was completed.
On the hill in the distance, Belik was watching Lin Tao's movements. He started to see Lin Tao dig such a big pit and was still a little angry, but later he saw Lin Tao dig the soil back and his face turned better. It seemed that the newly recognized "Adasi" was worth dating, at least not destroying the pasture. Unlike those who dig herbs in spring, who dig the grass and arched the wild boars, it was really annoying.
But the one Lin Tao took out just now... seemed to be a recorder? I wonder if it could be exchanged for him?
Lin Tao didn't know that Belik looked at him, so he lifted up the digging Codonopsis pilosula and headed towards the next goal. There were four plants growing on this Codonopsis pilosula, all smaller than the one just now, but the four of them grew on one root. Lin Tao felt that Codonopsis pilosula should be quite small under this plant.
Half an hour later, Lin Tao looked at the giant in his hand and couldn't help but smile on his face.
This thing is so big! The thickest place is about ten centimeters in diameter. Although it is not as long as the same plant just now, the entire Codonopsis pilosula has grown into a human form. It has two arms and the bottom is forked like two legs. After counting the reed bowls, it has been around for more than 60 years of age. It is considered a very cool Codonopsis pilosula!
When the sun sets, Lin Tao's backpack can no longer be filled. There are five Codonopsis pilosula, which weighs about three kilograms, and the largest one weighs about one kilogram. Looking at the ravine site, many shrubs have been trampled down. Fortunately, the pits dug were backfilled by Lin Tao and they were trampled firmly. As long as there is no heavy rain tonight, the grass will grow solid in a few days, and there will be no impact here.
Lin Tao was so satisfied that he couldn't be satisfied anymore. This time, he not only changed to the morels he had never expected, but also could dig up Codonopsis, which was so big, and those tiger palm mushrooms, which were so perfect!
Unfortunately, after listening to the tape in the Walkman several times, Lin Tao had to put away the Walkman, take out Desheng's radio, adjust the shortwave, and sound the news from the Central People's Radio Station. Only this station can collect it clearly.
Carrying a backpack, carrying a woven bag, humming "Baomin Leather Shoes" in his mouth, Lin Tao walked back. Although the bag was heavy, he was still very happy. He dig it for another day tomorrow and he could go back the day after tomorrow!
When he returned to the yurt, Belik was also rushing the flock of sheep. Looking at the large white flock, Lin Tao thought that when he left in his previous life, the flock of sheep could change to a house in a third-tier city. This is pure non-feeding feeding, grown up eating natural grass. In an exaggerated way, it is to eat Chinese herbal medicine, drink mineral water, and pull the lambs of Liuwei Dihuang Wan, which tastes great!
"Adasi, how are you harvesting?" Belli defeated the sheep and led the horse to the side and tied it up. While asking Lin Tao, he took out a short knife and walked around the flock. He quickly put the sheep down, slaughtered it, and then hung it up and peeled it.
Looking at the flowing movements of this young man who was a few years younger than him, Lin Tao could only sigh that he had specialized in his skills. He took the initiative to go forward and set up a fire and said, "The harvest is very good. There are basically no people here. I have dug a lot of herbs. By the way, I have filled in all the pits and will not destroy the pasture."
While peeling the sheepskin, Belik said, "I believe you, by the way, is your radio sold? I will exchange it with you! Or I don't want your stuff, can you use the radio to exchange it with me?"
Lin Tao knew that Belik was a good kid who loved studying, and there were a few books in the yurt that could not read the book cover. After hearing what Belik said, Lin Tao smiled and said, "Don't buy or change it, I have a Walkman here and a radio. The radio is for you. Because the Walkman is a gift given to me by a friend when I was in school, I won't give you. Next time I will bring you one. The morels you exchanged with me are much more valuable!"
"That's great!" Belik said with a smile while breaking down the peeled sheep rack on the sheepskin. Seeing that Lin Tao had already lit the fire with the dead pine branches, he went to the yurt to get a big pot, then picked up a large plastic bucket, poured half a pot of water, put the mutton directly in, and started stewing.
The mutton was very tender and it was cooked soon. Borick only sprinkled with salt and didn't put anything else. Just like this, Lin Tao felt extremely delicious. Plus Borick's homemade sour horse milk was perfect!
Lin Tao thought to himself that this is probably a scene that countless travelers in later generations envied! But in a few years, because of commercial development, pastoral herders also learned to use their own resources. Balangzi, a seven or eight-year-old, would lead horses to earn money from tourists in grassland scenic spots, and the quality of life has improved, but simple people seem to be becoming less and less.
