Chapter 125 Digging Cordyceps, a One-Person Concert

Zhou You, Li Yan, Lin Hao, and Tao Yiran stayed away from Pali Town.

We arrived at a hillside in Pali Grassland.

Here you can see large expanses of green grassland.

Large areas of green grassland are dotted with yellow flowers. There are also large areas of this yellow flower.

Locals call this flower "yoghurt flower".

In fact, they are yellow "primroses".

"It's so beautiful!" Tao still stood on the green meadow, among thousands of yellow yogurt flowers swaying in the wind, under the blue sky and white clouds.

Looking at the herdsmen grazing.

Looking at the herds of yaks and sheep on the grass.

They are grazing leisurely.

Pali's yaks are very famous.

The yaks here have bright-colored fur and large bodies. They produce a lot of milk and meat, which is delicious and nutritious.

why is it like this?

Because I eat well.

People say that the yaks in Pali "drink mineral water and eat cordyceps".

"It's like being in a fairy tale world." Li Yan said, seeing this vast and beautiful meadow grassland, all the worries of kidney deficiency were forgotten.

Zhou You sat down on the hillside.

Sit on the soft grass.

The root system of the meadow grassland is very developed, and the numerous root systems are tangled, gradually forming a carpet-like grass felt layer, which is soft and elastic when stepped on.

Of course, it is also very soft and elastic when you sit on it. Sitting on it, my butt feels cool and wet. Very comfortable.

You don't care if it stains your pants.

If it's dirty, it's dirty.

Sitting on the meadow and looking into the distance, the colors and layers of the Pali grassland become more abundant.

In addition to green grass, patches of yellow primroses, there are also small, colorful flowers that cannot be named.

They sway gently in the wind.

very beautiful.

On the other side of the grassland are fields of rapeseed flowers.

The rapeseed flowers in Pali bloom in late July and early August, and now there are many rapeseed flowers blooming in large tracts. Alongside the large fields of rapeseed flowers, there are even larger areas of purple or red wildflowers. The wildflowers bloom in a jumble of large patches of color that stretch for thousands of meters and twist.

The flowers seem to bloom into a river!

Colorful flower river!

It's like a rich oil painting painted by an artist.

Beautiful and spectacular.

No wonder Pali Grassland is also called the "Five-Colored Meadow".

Look further away!

You can see the beautiful Duoqingcuo Lake.

Above the Duoqingcuo Lake is the Zhuomulari Snow Mountain with an altitude of 7,350 meters.

Zhuomulari Peak has an abrupt peak and steep slopes. It is one of the seven fairies of the Himalayas in Uti-Tibetan folklore. Local people call it Saintess Peak or Goddess Peak.

The blue Passionate Cave is located between snow-capped mountains and meadows. Duoqingcuo is a seasonal lake. When the rainy season comes, rainwater mixed with glacier meltwater continues to flow into the depression where the lake is located, and Duoqing Lake gradually gathers.

The lake and the snow-capped mountains complement each other beautifully!

There is a height difference of nearly 3,000 meters between the snow-capped mountains and the lake. Visually, this difference is like a long row of huge, almost vertical mountains, like a huge curtain!

The misty cloud belts in the mountains are like fairy belts or belts.

It's simply not too beautiful!

[Quietly enjoy the beautiful scenery of Pali Grassland, life points +1]

The four people around you all sat down on the hillside of the meadow grassland, quietly blowing in the wind, and no one spoke.

It seems that any sound will destroy the beautiful scenery and artistic conception at this moment.

Zhou You glanced sideways at Tao Yiran. The wind was gently blowing her black hair, and she had a quiet smile on her face... From this angle, she was really beautiful.

After sitting there for an unknown amount of time, Li Yan suddenly pointed at a few tiny figures far away on the grassland, "Look, what are those people doing?"

Zhou You and others looked in the direction of Li Yan's finger.

I saw seven or eight tiny people crawling on the grassland, advancing slowly.

Due to the distance, it was not possible to see clearly what they were doing, but this strange posture made Zhou You and others feel strange.

"Go over and take a look." Zhou said.

So the four people traveling around quickly walked down the hillside, sometimes running, sometimes walking slowly.

Soon he got closer to the seven or eight "tiny figures", and their details gradually appeared in sight.

These are seven young people.

There are men and women.

Wearing a scarf on their head, wearing a mask on their face, holding a small hoe, and carrying a cloth bag on their shoulders, they crawled on the grass, seeming to be looking for something.

They looked like they were in their twenties.

The girl closest to Zhou You is probably only 18 or 19 years old.

Maybe they noticed Zhou You and the others. The eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl raised her eyes and glanced at Zhou You and the others, then continued to crawl on the grass, looking for something.

"What are you looking for?" Zhou Yao said, "We can help."

Zhou You's first reaction was that they had dropped something.

It's a relatively small item.

Such as earrings and jewelry.

The girl raised her head and Zhou You saw her clean and bright eyes and half of her face.

From these eyes and half of her face, you can tell that this is a very beautiful girl from Uizang.

She glanced at Zhou You and replied in a very pleasant voice: "We are digging Cordyceps."

Zhou You: "Digging Cordyceps?"

Girl: "Yes."

After the girl finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and began to search intently.

Zhou You: "How to dig?"

Girl: "Get down."

Zhou You heard the sound and lay down next to the girl.

The girl's pleasant voice sounded again: "Come a little more."

Climb around.

It's just like when you were a child and you were lying on the ground playing with your friends... and it also feels like a soldier lying down and crawling.

All the weight of the body is dragged forward by the two elbows.

Fortunately, the grass is very soft.

There is no pain in the elbow.

Zhou You came closer and suddenly saw a small black sprout with a slight yellow color among the grass.

"Is this Cordyceps?" Zhou You asked.

"Yes." said the girl.

While they were talking, several other young people came over, and the girl started digging up Cordyceps with the small hoe in her hand.

She started digging three to four inches away from the small black shoots of Cordyceps sinensis.

When the Cordyceps sinensis is slightly exposed, carefully use your hands to gently push and separate the soil next to the Cordyceps sinensis, and finally pull the Cordyceps sinensis out of the soil.

She was very careful throughout the process for fear of hurting the cordyceps.

At this moment, Zhou You finally saw what Cordyceps looked like, and there was actually a worm underneath.

Fantastic.

Cordyceps sinensis is a very precious medicinal material.

It has the functions of regulating the body's immunity, enhancing the ability to tolerate hypoxia, resisting kidney damage, relieving asthma and eliminating phlegm, and increasing white blood cells. At the same time, it also has good sedative and analgesic effects, which can reduce the pain of patients with tumor attacks and the adverse reactions of chemotherapy.

It is born from the union of insects and fungi.

The fungus invades the larvae of the Cordyceps bat moth around winter, absorbs silk and develops mycelium. When the mycelium fills the body, the insect dies. In summer, a fungus base grows from the top of the dead insect's head, exposing the soil, hence the name summer Grass.

I have to admire the magic of nature.

[Watching Cordyceps picking at close range for the first time, life points +1]

"Can I take a look?" Zhou You was very surprised.

The girl handed the Cordyceps to Zhou You, and Zhou You observed it carefully. Except that it couldn't move, it really looked exactly like a bug! Animals and plants... no, animals and insects are perfectly combined.

"Are there many Cordyceps in the grass?" Zhou You asked.

"There were a lot of them in the first two months, but now there are less." The girl said, "The season for intensive picking has passed now."

I learned from the girls that the concentrated harvesting time for Cordyceps generally starts from May 20th and lasts until June 30th.

But the actual end of picking can last until August.

"How much can you pick in one day?" Zhou You asked.

"It depends on luck." the girl said.

Digging Cordyceps depends on your feet and luck. Sometimes you can’t dig even one root in a day, and sometimes you can have a bumper harvest.

Zhou You asked again how much money he could earn from digging Cordyceps sinensis. The girl said that her family dug up five kilograms last year and sold it for more than 300,000 yuan.

The current price of Cordyceps is RMB 60,000 to 70,000 per catty.

It’s really soft gold.

As the girl spoke, she filled back the excavated soil. This was to protect the environment and to prepare for the fact that there would still be cordyceps to be dug in the coming year.

Cordyceps is expensive, and more and more people dig it every year... These plateau people understand the principles of sustainable development.

"Can I dig with you guys?" Zhou said.

"Okay." The girl smiled.

The next time around, Li Yan and others were crawling on the ground looking for Cordyceps.

Tao Yiran was still weak and just sat and watched.

Zhou You and Li Yan searched carefully in the grass.

As time passed, Zhou You found that Cordyceps was not that easy to find.

I climbed thousands of meters on the grass but found nothing. It is very uncomfortable for the body to crawl forward, and the eyes are always in a searching state, and it will also be very swollen.

You can imagine how exhausted the girls would be if they had to crawl like this for half a day...

I made two to three hundred thousand in less than two months, which Zhou You felt was great. Now that I have experienced it myself, I know that this money does not fall from the sky, and it is not as easy to earn as imagined.

I crawled on the grass for about two hours.

Zhou You finally found a small black sprout in the grass.

"I found it, I found it!!" Zhou You was ecstatic, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

When I was about to give up and suddenly found one, the excitement and excitement cannot be described in words.

Hearing Zhou You's shouts, Li Yan, Lin Hao and the girls all came together.

The girl handed the small hoe in her hand to Zhou You.

Zhou You dug the cordyceps the same way the girl did before, and finally dug out the cordyceps together with the turf and soil.

Carefully separate it from the soil and hand it to the girl.

[Digging Cordyceps sinensis for the first time, life points +1]

The girl was initially reluctant to accept the cordyceps, but Zhou You allowed her to do so.

With this first harvest, I am more motivated to travel around.

Although this process is difficult.

But when you actually find the "treasure", the joy can make you happy for a long time.

Li Yan hasn't found the Cordyceps yet. He has only one goal. He has found it all over the place, so he has to find one.

So for the next time, Li Yan continued crawling around, and it wasn't until the afternoon that Li Yan opened his shop.

And in the process of digging Cordyceps.

Zhou You also knew the name of the girl just now - Wang Mu.

The person who came to dig up Cordyceps with her today was her sister Zhuoma.

The other five are all Dolma's college classmates.

The two male classmates are Lin Feng and Sang Jie.

The female classmates are Su Qianxia, ​​Luo Meihong, and Qu Xiulin.

Sangye is from Tibet.

Lin Feng, Su Qianxia, ​​Luo Meihong, and Qu Xiulin came from all over the country.

I was invited to play in Weizang.

Because they saw Wang Mu and Dolma's family collecting Cordyceps, they also wanted to try it, so they followed Wang Mu and Dolma out to collect Cordyceps.

"I'm your fan." Su Qianxia said.

Su Qianxia is one of those school belle-level beauties.

Hearing Su Qianxia call Lin Feng class monitor, it seemed that they should be classmates in the same class.

Su Qianxia seemed to be interested in Lin Feng.

Indeed, Lin Feng is also a very handsome young man, and he speaks and behaves appropriately.

After spending nearly four hours collecting cordyceps together, Li Yan became familiar with this group of college students.

Traveling with them seems to bring back the lush years of college.

When I was studying in the past, I wanted to graduate quickly, earn money, and break away from the prison of school. I thought I would be free once I was released.

It wasn't until I graduated and started working that I discovered that student life is the happiest, most relaxed and most comfortable time in my life... Compared with the various pressures at work, exams are really a piece of cake.

The most important thing is that the friends I made during my student days are all true friends.

After graduation, I was surrounded by many people, but I never made any close friends.

This group of college students is very active and full of youthful atmosphere. "I really envy you." Zhou Youyou, "You can still study in school and live a carefree time."

"Yes." Li Yan said, "The college years were the most beautiful period of my life."

Li Yan talked about interesting things from his college days.

Talking about his roommate.

Because he came out to take roles very early, Li Yan said: "The most regretful thing is that I didn't make more friends in college."

"At that time, I was just making money through filming. It wasn't until I left that ivory tower that I realized what I had lost."

Then he talked about the interesting campus stories of Dolma and others.

It turns out that Su Qianxia, ​​Luo Meihong, Qu Xiulin and Zhuoma are roommates.

Lin Feng and Sanjie were also in the same dormitory.

They have a lot of contact with each other, so they are familiar with each other.

After finishing picking Cordyceps, Zhuoma and Wangmu invited Zhou You and the others to visit their home.

Of course Zhou You and Li Yan would not refuse, and Lin Hao and Tao Yiran had no objections either.

When they arrived at Wangmo and Dolma's house, their father Tsering and mother Sangmu warmly welcomed them, uh, and their grandmother.

When I walked into Wang Mu's house, my grandmother was holding a prayer wheel and sitting cross-legged on the card mat. Seeing Zhou You and others arriving, he quickly stood up, bent down and put his palms together to salute.

Grandma asked Zhou You, Li Yan and others to sit down.

Then he quickly brought the wooden bowl, grabbed the bangdian tied in front of him...that is, the apron, and wiped the wooden bowl clean.

Then scoop a spoonful of ghee each and place it on the side of the bowl.

Lifting a pot from the stove, he poured butter tea for Zhou You, Li Yan and others.

As soon as Zhou You took a sip of butter tea, his grandmother immediately refilled it for him.

Grandma is very talkative.

While entertaining Zhou You and others to drink butter tea, they chatted with Zhou You and others.

Grandma: "What a handsome young man."

Zhou You: "Grandma, thank you very much."

Grandma: "Where are you from?"

Zhouyou: "Jinghai."

Grandma: "I saw on TV that Jinghai is very prosperous."

Traveling around: "But it's not as good as the snow-capped mountains and grasslands of Uizang."

Grandma: "What do you do?"

Traveling around: "Traveling around mountains and rivers, and being able to sing."

Grandma: "I like singing and dancing."

While talking, grandma also sang twice, and she sang very beautifully.

Grandma looks to be in her seventies, but she has a strong body and a very good attitude. It was probably the water and soil that caused her to be in such a state.

When they arrived at Wangmo's house, their father Tsering went out.

In order to entertain them, Tsering slaughtered a sheep.

In Tibet, people, nature and animals all live in harmony and depend on each other.

So they raised a lot of yaks, but the yaks were not necessarily exchanged for money, but were slaughtered when something happened.

But when they slaughter cattle and sheep, they don't make the scene very bloody.

Instead, they end their lives in a gentle and silent way.

Tsering threw out a noose like a horse. The noose fell into the flock and caught one of the sheep by its horns.

After lassoing the sheep, Tsering tightened the slipknot.

The lassoed sheep was brought down directly.

Then Tsering tied up the four hooves of the sheep while reciting scriptures, and then tied up the mouth and nose of the sheep with his body, binding them tightly.

Until the sheep suffocated to death.

Then he used a knife to peel off the sheep's skin from its hooves, cut open its belly, and took out its intestines.

The rest of the offal was distributed among several of his large herding dogs.

Mother Sangmu took the sheep intestines from Tsering and poured water into the intestines to clean them.

After cleaning the intestines, Tsering poured all the blood from the sheep's abdomen into the intestines.

In the evening, Tsering and Sang Mu served the cooked blood sausage and mutton to the table.

The mutton in the pot should be cut with a knife.

Zhou You cut off a large piece of mutton with a knife. At this time, the mutton was slightly cold, but it was the most delicious.

Cut it with a knife and eat it!

It's really bold.

During the meal, Zhou You, Tsering and Sangye drank a lot of highland barley wine. Weizang people really didn't dare to compare with drinking. Zhou You felt that his own wine was a little drunk. Tsering and Sangye's faces were not red, and their hearts were not beating.

Talking and laughing during the dinner.

We had a great time talking.

Lin Feng, Su Qianxia and other college students also fully integrated into the atmosphere.

After the meal, Wangmu, Dolma and Sangye were busy setting up a bonfire outside the house.

Lin Feng, Su Qianxia, ​​Zhuoma and others are all music lovers. Lin Feng took out his guitar and everyone sang around the campfire.

Dolma and Sanjay also danced for everyone.

Grandma, Tsering and Sangmu also joined the singing and dancing process after finishing their work.

It was only then that Zhou You realized that Tao still sang very well!

"Have you studied music?" Zhou You asked curiously.

"From the Popular Music Department of Kyoto Conservatory of Music." Tao Yiran said. He was actually born in a major.

Quite unexpected.

At this time, Zhou You remembered that Tao Yiran said he wanted to come to his concert, and realized another meaning.

She's not just a traveling fan.

I prefer the music itself.

In such an atmosphere of singing and dancing, Zhou You suddenly felt very emotional. He said, "Didn't you say you wanted to attend my concert?"

"Yeah." Tao still nodded.

"Then I will sing for you today." Zhou You said and took the guitar from Lin Feng.
