NOVEL NEXT Chapter 52 Dendrobium
"I'd better go climb the tree." Seeing that Mao Xi was fine, Mu Zhiyuan picked up the basket on his back and skillfully climbed to the horizontal branch of the big tree. He cooperated with the little spirit rat and picked half of the basket of dendrobium.
Wild dendrobium is precious, and even in the excellent growing environment inside the cave, the yield is low.
"Ah Xiao, these dendrobiums are too precious. They were rarely found in the palace before. It's better to hide them for your own use and don't sell them!" Mu Zhiyuan warned.
Of course, Mao Xi knew it. She had seen a documentary. This dendrobium grows on stone walls. If it is to be domesticated, it needs to be planted on special vegetation to survive. The environment is extremely difficult to simulate.
She nodded, bundled the dendrobium and stored it in her portable space.
The little spirit rat jumped from Mu Zhiyuan's shoulder into Miao Xi's palm and barked two more times.
Mao Xi took out two roasted sweet potatoes from her arms, called her younger brothers and sisters to come over to rest, and fed some more to the rats in bamboo tubes and rhubarb.
Mu Zhiyuan brought four of them, and everyone sat on the floor and started eating.
The panda stuck out its plump butt, followed the scent, and moved over, pushing Mu Zhiyuan's shoulder, and Mu Zhiyuan fed it half a roasted sweet potato.
After eating the sweet potatoes, everyone started picking grapes. As soon as the baskets were full, they moved around to make room. In a quarter of an hour, they picked more than 100 kilograms.
Ajiao was brought into the space by Mao Xi for the first time, and she felt quite fresh. While everyone was still sorting the grapes, she ran around and hid in the cold storage.
At first, Mao Xi thought she was running around in the forest, but she was surprised not to find her. Later, I heard Ajiao's cry and returned to space, only to see the little girl running out of the cold storage, shivering.
"Sister, why are you like an ice cellar, freezing me to death, ugh~~~" Ajiao cried.
"From now on, you are not allowed to play hide and seek in strange places. Do you understand?" Then he took his sister back to the woods.
The giant panda was still unsatisfied after eating the sweet potatoes and was sitting by the hot spring licking its two big paws.
Everyone gathered, left the "Don't Have a Cave", and prepared to go down the mountain.
"Brother Mu, should we go back the way we came, or should we find another way down the mountain?" Shui Xi's original intention of going up the mountain this time was to dig bamboo shoots. Although he had an unexpected harvest, he still wanted to look for it again.
"Next time, it's almost midday. Don't you have to go back to the store to help later?"
Everyone returned the same way they came. Halfway through the mountain road, Dahuang suddenly roared.
The mountains and forests echoed with calls like those of wild monkeys, one after another, getting closer and closer.
"I heard that the wild monkeys on the mountain can eat people. Everyone, run!" Mu Zhiyuan shouted, walking at the end of the team and watching.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and the monkeys had already jumped from the trees to directly above the crowd.
Mu Zhiyuan looked up and saw about twenty wild monkeys on the top of the tree... No, they were orangutans!
"It's an orangutan! Above us!" Xiaodouzi shouted.
Miao Xi hurriedly covered his mouth, and Ajiao was so scared that she hugged her brother and did not dare to speak.
He didn't bring any weapons today, and Mu Zhiyuan only had a knife in his hand. He slowly squatted down, groped for a few stones on the ground and handed them to Mao Xi and Xiaodouzi. Just as he grabbed a thick branch, he was about to hand it to Mao Xi and Xiaodouzi. At low tide, the orangutan group suddenly launched an attack and climbed down from the top of the tree. Come straight towards the crowd.
"Woof! Woof!" The giant panda's voice came over. It ran in front of Mu Zhiyuan and stood up half upright. It was half a head taller than Mu Zhiyuan.
The panda showed a fierce look in its eyes, bared its fangs at the orangutan, and with its two palms, it tore an orangutan that had climbed to the bottom of the tree into two halves and threw it far away.
The orangutans behind stopped and saw that their companions were "torn apart" by the panda, and they all retreated to the top of the tree.
The panda roared at them twice more, and the orangutans ran into the trees and disappeared.
It wasn't until this moment that Shu Xi realized that the giant panda in front of him was really a wild giant panda, not one from a zoo. It was really the legendary and tough "iron-eating beast"!
After scaring off the orangutan, the panda withdrew his expression, stretched out his tongue and licked his palms, turned around and got down on all fours, fell into Mu Zhiyuan's arms and started acting coquettishly.
"Wow! Sister, it's so majestic!" the brother and sister said in unison, immediately falling in love with this black and white animal.
The panda sent them to the entrance of Savage Valley and went back alone.
Back in Lihua Town, Mao Xi found two vats in the store, cleaned them, and put some grapes in them to try to make wine.
"Ah Shu, Boss Liu of the grocery store has delivered two casseroles. What did you dig up in the mountains today?"
"Auntie, we dug up Ganoderma lucidum and Dendrobium!" Mao Xi said excitedly. These medicinal ingredients were very rare in ancient times, comparable to Cordyceps Sinensis.
Mao Xi washed the casserole, went to the kitchen and took half an old hen, washed it, and stewed it with dendrobium and Ganoderma lucidum.
Then, he took ten more eggs and cooked a pot of braised eggs in a casserole.
At noon, lunch was served. She first made a bowl of "Dendrobium and Ganoderma Lucidum Stewed Chicken Soup" and gave it to Mrs. Chen: "Mom, drink this so you can sleep well at night!"
Mrs. Chen was a little reluctant: "Ah Shu, these dendrobium and Ganoderma lucidum should be sold to pharmacies. How can we afford to drink them if they are so precious?"
"Auntie, the Ganoderma lucidum is dried and I will sell some to the pharmacy. The dendrobium is dried and we keep it for ourselves!"
While everyone was having lunch, Lu Chengzu led two men dressed as ruffians and bullies into Liuxiang Snacks.
The two local gangsters looked fierce and glared at the diners. Lu Chengzu was sitting in the middle of the outer hall, with one foot raised on the chair, and said nonsense: "As long as I, Lu Chengzu, are here, you can't even think about opening a good shop in Lihua Town!"
The only two tables of diners in the store were so frightened that they put down their coins and ran out.
"How dare you come here to cause trouble!" Lu Da roared and was the first to rush out. Mu Zhiyuan and Lou Laner got up, and the three of them started fighting with Lu Chengzhu and the two gangsters.
I never thought that Lu Chengzu could also do martial arts. Although he was defeated by Mu Zhiyuan, he smashed all the tables, chairs and bowls in the shop during the fight.
Mu Zhiyuan grabbed Lu Chengzu's collar and said with cold eyes: "Don't go against Liuxiang Xiaoshi anymore. This Lihua Town is not a place for you to run wild!"
Lu Chengzu broke away from Mu Zhiyuan, grabbed a handful of chopsticks from the table, and pointed them at Mu Zhiyuan.
Mu Zhiyuan sneered: "Humph! Just with your three-legged cat skills..."
Before he finished speaking, a black figure flew in and carried Lu Chengzu away. Seeing the leader disappear, the gangsters from both places also ran out of the store.
Before Mu Zhiyuan could react, he saw a black orchid tattoo on the neck of the man in black.
