Chapter 46: good medicine
"Sister Yu, let's go back. It's too hot at noon, and I'm suffocated after staying in the woods for a long time."
Su Hu thought about Sister Yu's young age, worried that she would miss her meal and starve her precious little girl, so he found an excuse and wanted to go down the mountain.
"Father, there are mushrooms in the forest ahead, let's pick some mushrooms before going back."
Su Qingluo heard the voice transmission of the little kingfisher. The mountain in front of the bamboo forest grew rare medicinal herbs. Tian Qi was overjoyed and wanted to go around the mountain in the name of picking mushrooms.
"Your mother picked some mushrooms at the foot of the mountain yesterday, and there are still some at home."
Su Hu was a little hesitant, he still wanted to go down the mountain to eat as soon as possible, for fear of starving the little girl.
"Dad, I want to pick mushrooms."
Su Qingluo raised her small head, and looked at him eagerly with her big watery eyes.
"Okay, then pick some."
Su Hu was immediately defeated and agreed unconditionally.
************
Su Qingluo carried a small basket on his back, walked on short legs, and led the way leisurely in front of the direction guided by the little kingfisher.
Su Hu is holding a machete, and when encountering a thornbush blocking the way, he will walk a few steps, rushing ahead of her, waving the machete, cutting off the thorns, and escorting his little daughter.
The father and daughter walked through the bamboo forest, went down to the col, waded through a clear and shallow stream, and saw a piece of verdant green in the distance.
The low plants are blooming with small red wild flowers, and the cool mountain wind is blowing, and the small wild flowers are swaying in the wind one by one, which is really beautiful.
"Chirp."
The little kingfisher glides above the small wildflowers, accurately picks up a cluster of small red fruits, and eats them into its mouth happily.
"Father, the little wild flowers are so pretty, let's dig some and go home and plant them."
Su Qingluo took out a small shovel from her small back basket, and started to dig the roots of the flowers in a serious manner.
Su Hu has always doted on his daughter, the youngest daughter likes it and wants to plant flowers, so it is his duty as a father, he has to do it himself and serve his daughter.
So, Su Hu immediately took out the shovel from the back basket and began to dig hard.
"Hey, Sister Yu, what kind of grass is this? The roots look like it."
After a few shovels down, he felt something was wrong. Under the fresh leaves of the plant, there were roots that looked like ginger.
It is not quite similar to ginger, and a handful of them are like dirt lumps.
"Father, tell me, does this look like the one we saw selling ginseng at the counter when we were selling ginseng at Kongshantang, it's called Tian, or something."
Su Qingluo rested her small face and cheeks with her hands, seemingly thinking hard about Su Hu's question.
"Tian Qi!"
Su Hu slapped his thigh and almost jumped up from the ground in excitement.
"Sister Yu, we have dug up a treasure, this is Tian Qi, a high-quality medicinal material, and the price in the pharmacy is not cheap.
"Father, can I dig some to grow back home?"
Su Qingluo sweetly whispered her little milk voice, smiling with crooked eyebrows.
"Okay, why not, Sister Yu wants to plant it, so Dad will dig it for you."
Naturally, Su Hu agreed, and chose the few plants with the thickest root stems, and shoveled like flying, dug them out with the roots and mud, and carefully put them into the basket.
For the rest of Tian Qi, he carefully dug out the roots, packed them in a cloth bag, and tied it around his waist.
Half a bag of field seven weighs five or six catties, and if sent to Kong Shantang, it can be sold for a lot of money.
Su Hu was overjoyed, and washed his hands with his precious daughter in the stream, humming a little song, and holding her little hand, the father and daughter went home happily.
