Chapter 399 Transplanting osmanthus, digging Huang Jing

As soon as Xiaoxi saw the waterfowl at the water's edge, she flew over from Zhang Taiping's side to play with them. When Ghostface reached the water's edge, he was so frightened that the birds began to chirp.

Zhang Taiping squatted by the water and washed his face. The cool lake water stimulated his nerves and immediately made him more energetic. Then he casually sat on a rock and took out a cigarette to smoke. After drinking some water by the water, Zhang Taiping didn't look like Xiao Xi.

It was so cheerful, but squatted quietly next to Zhang Taiping, it was always so steady and sincere.

The sunshine becomes softer in the afternoon, and the sky in the mountains always gets darker earlier than outside. At this time, there is already a mountain breeze, and the sparkling water surface is rippling with the afterglow of the sunset. This situation, this scene, and the warm breeze blowing on my face make me feel happy.

People unconsciously feel relaxed and lazy.

Zhang Taiping smoked two cigarettes in a row and lay on the rocks by the water, feeling the tranquility. It wasn't until the sun reached the top of the mountain in the west and the light gradually dimmed that he called Xiao Xi with a grimace and walked around to the southeast side of the reservoir.

.

The big stone sealing the entrance of the cave was intact. Zhang Taiping easily picked it up with both hands and placed it beside it.

Nothing in the valley seemed to have changed. Zhang Taiping walked around, and there was no sign that anyone had been inside the stone house.

The main purpose of Zhang Taiping's visit this time was to move the two large osmanthus trees into the space first, and then find time to transplant them into his own garden. Without wasting time elsewhere, he took out the shovel and started planting the two osmanthus trees.

Look around the tree for a place to shovel.

These two trees are very old, and the root system below must be huge and cumbersome. If you want to dig them up, you will need a large pit with a diameter of at least six meters. As for the depth, it depends on the specific conditions of digging. After determining the location, draw a circle.

Start digging. This is not a small project if done by one person.

Xiao Xi couldn't bear his temper and waited nearby. He stayed in the valley for a while and ran out for a while. When the sky was full of stars, he stopped and stood on another tree to rest. On the contrary, the ghost face kept wandering around the stone house in the valley.

Serve as a warning.

When I finally dug the six-meter-diameter pit to a depth of two meters, I looked at my watch and it was already past three in the morning. I let go of the shovel, climbed out of the pit, and wrote some words outside. This was really not something a normal person could do.

.Smoke a cigarette, drink some water and jump into the pit to continue.

The outline of the entire tree root has been dug out. What needs to be done now is to cut off all the surrounding root systems. Otherwise, if all these fibrous roots are dug up, even a ten-meter hole may not be able to be dug, so only the

The main part ensures that the tree can survive after transplantation, and the fibrous roots will grow back later.

He took out the ax he had prepared and cut a circle along the wall of the pit. The tree roots as thick as his arm were broken. After cutting off the fibrous roots, the main root was left for temporary fixation. He put the ax on his waist and climbed up the tree.

At the top, swing the ax to cut off all the excess branches.

This is an inevitable process for transplanting huge trees. Cut off excess branches to facilitate the transfer, but more importantly, the root system of the tree has a process of adapting to the environment just after transplanting. If the upper branches and leaves escape the lush and transpiration

The effect will be enhanced, but the ability to transport water under the roots cannot meet the requirements for transpiration. This will be a situation where income cannot make ends meet, and the tree will lose too much water and die.

Most of the branches were cut off, leaving only a few main trunks. Generally speaking, they should be completely cut off, but Zhang Taiping had spatial spring water and could appropriately retain some branches and leaves.

After coming down from the tree, first collect the branches you saw into the space, and bring them back with hard firewood, which is best used for steaming buns and cooking during the Chinese New Year.

He did not rush to use an ax to put the nearly bare laurel tree down, but used his mental power to test to see if he could put it into the space now. He did not activate it suddenly, but just gently tested it. Sure enough, his mental power extended to and

The osmanthus tree connected to the earth then grew up with the feeling of earthworms shaking the tree.

Picking up the ax and jumping into the pit, he cut off the main root that was deeply rooted in the ground. After a slight push, the bare tree stump fell to the ground. Xiao Xi, who was resting on another tree, was frightened.

Flying into the sky and screaming.

After using an ax to cut off all the roots below, the fallen osmanthus tree disappeared in a flash. Zhang Taiping also followed into the space, dug a hole and buried the osmanthus tree first, and then buried it in the space.

The feet above are watered with some space spring water.

After I came out, I looked at my watch and it was already close to five o'clock. It took me a whole night to dig out this one. I planned to go home tonight, but it seemed that I didn't have time to dig another one. I could only wait until I had time later.

Come in and dig out again.

The soil around the pit was refilled. As for the few young ginseng that originally grew under the tree, Zhang Taiping transplanted them all into the space.

After finishing everything, it was already bright. We left the valley and re-sealed the entrance to the valley with stones. Then we caught some game and came back to clean it by the lake and bake it everywhere. After eating and playing, we cleaned all traces on the water's edge with water.

, this is not a matter of caution, but an instinctive habit of mountain people when doing things in the mountains.

After eating and drinking, we walked towards the outside of the mountain with a grimace and Xiao Xi under the golden sunshine that had just fallen.

Going out of the mountain at this time will be in the evening when you get home. In addition, it will be night after you go back to collect herbs on the way. This is exactly what Zhang Taiping wants.

After coming up from the reservoir, I stood on a hilltop and thought for a while, but I didn't go back from the road I had walked twice before, let alone the road from the west. What happened on that road was too terrifying.

He will not set foot there again for a long time. Instead, he will head towards the untrodden areas to the east. The more primitive the place, the more medicinal materials there are.

It is indeed a good idea to go to the east, where few people have set foot, and there are indeed a wide variety of medicinal materials, and they are quite old. Zhang Taiping was not in a hurry, and he and Xiao Xi were very busy.

Xiao Xi finally found another good thing, and flew back and chirped on Zhang Taiping's shoulder. If he had been left to search alone, he might not have been so enthusiastic, but when he was with Zhang Taiping, he seemed very enthusiastic.

Work hard, have fun with others, and get more appreciation and rewards from Zhang Taiping.

"What good things did you find again?" Zhang Taiping asked with a smile.

The little guy chirped twice proudly and flew towards the thing it found with Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping followed closely behind with a grimace. The distance was not close, and he ran for more than ten minutes before arriving. In a place where the dense forest was dense and the land was damp, there was a small plant with leaves that were somewhat similar to bamboo leaves. Zhang Taiping recalled it.

Then I remembered what kind of medicine this was--the famous Polygonati.

Polygonatum is also known as chicken head ginseng. The rhizome is used as medicine. It has the functions of nourishing qi, nourishing yin, strengthening the spleen, moistening the lungs, and replenishing the kidneys. It is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine. It is very effective in nourishing the body of both men and women.

Polygonatum prefers humid climate conditions, has the characteristics of being shade-loving, cold-tolerant, and afraid of drought. It does not grow well in dry areas, but grows well in humid and shaded environments. It thrives in deep, loose and fertile soils with good drainage and water retention properties.

It grows well in loamy soil; it is not suitable for plant growth in barren, dry and heavy soil.

From these sentences, we can understand that a moist and fertile place is suitable for the growth of Polygonatum sibiricum. And in this place covered with rotten leaves and the environment is humid, the Polygonatum odorifera growing there must be of good quality.

Zhang Taiping took out the shovel to avoid breaking the roots below, so he started digging from a distance. Unexpectedly, he almost hit a Polygonatum spp. on the first shovel move. He put the shovel aside and used branches to loosen the roots.

The soil was pushed aside, revealing a Huangjing as thick as an arm.

The rhizome of this Polygonatum vulgaris grows horizontally, is fleshy, yellow-white, and slightly oblate. There are several stem scars, and the stem scars are thicker. The diameter of the thickest part can reach 2.5cm, and there are a few fibrous roots.

Zhang Taiping carefully dug it out of the soil. Due to the soft and loose soil, there was no damage at all. Zhang Taiping was also surprised when he saw such a big piece of Polygonatum japonica.

Most Chinese herbal medicines are more valuable the older they are, and Polygonatum sibiricum is no exception. Most of the ones I have seen before are artificially grown and will be harvested in one or two years. They are almost as thick as a thumb. I have never seen them before.

The Huang Jing that attracts such attention is unknown how many years it has been growing here.

After Zhang Taiping placed the Huang Jing in the space, he then picked up a shovel to dig out from a farther place. If there is one, there may be a second one of the same size. If it is broken by accident, it will be a huge loss.

It's better to dig carefully and from a distance.

It took nearly half an hour to dig out the piece of Huangjing. The big ones were moved into the space, part of the small ones were also moved in, and some were left in place. The most taboo thing for mountain people to go into the mountains to collect herbs is

If greed destroys the roots, basically no one with some common sense would do such a stupid thing as destroying the species.

After playing, I rewarded Xiao Xi with a few bright red strawberries. It would be great to have Xiao Xi follow me into the mountains. He can always find good medicinal materials, even if they are buried underground. This ability is really amazing.

Of course, not all good things can be found by it. Most of the time, the things it finds are based on its own preferences. The most common thing is ginseng, whether it is old or just grown, it can find it.

However, there is no response to some herbs that are not very nourishing but have great medicinal value.

Zhang Taiping deduced from this that Xiao Xi's ability should be to sense the aura of plants. Generally, herbs with strong nourishing effects carry more aura, such as ginseng, aged Polygonatum sibiricum and Polygonum multiflorum.

As for its preference to steal beautiful and sparkling things, it has nothing to do with its ability to sense spiritual energy, it is just a matter of personal preference.
