Chapter 237: Black Ginseng
"These are enough. You don't need to pick them all. Leave some for the animals."
After picking the Fritillaria, Li Mu continued to patrol the forest, chatting with netizens in the live broadcast room on his mobile phone. "The red-bellied tragopan just came here to dig Fritillaria to eat. It was thanks to it that we found the Fritillaria."
[Host, you really have a lot of money. Those are wild Fritillaria. If it were me, I would definitely dig them all up! ]
[I can't help it either, digging it out means money! ]
[The wild Fritillaria here sells for more than 120 yuan per pound. I heard that the wild Fritillaria in Tibet is even more expensive, more than 1,000 yuan per pound! ]
[Oh my god! This is a top-grade herb!]
[Don't even mention more than a thousand pounds, even if it's more than a hundred pounds, you'd be rich! We just dug up all that area, so we'd probably get at least 100 or 200 pounds (Lemon)]
[No wonder people used to say that mountains are treasure troves, there are so many valuable treasures! ]
"That's why we need to restore the environment and protect nature." Li Mu smiled slightly, "Nature will also give us generous thanks."
On the other side, the CCTV building in Beijing.
In the conference room.
Li Mu’s live broadcast was being shown on the big screen.
"Protect nature, and nature will repay you generously."
A woman in her thirties' eyes lit up when she heard Li Mu's words. She turned to the assistant beside her and said, "That's a good sentence! Write it down and use it as the introduction for our promotional feature film in the future."
"Director Gu, the contract hasn't been signed yet, but your operations center can't wait." A middle-aged man at the main seat said with a smile.
"Of course, the production department has already prepared two sample episodes, and once the contract is signed, we will promote them on the Internet."
Gu Cuihong, the director of CCTV's operations center, turned her head and looked at the main seat. "Deputy Director He, you have already watched the live broadcast. It is very suitable for us to make a film on environmental protection. When will the contract be signed?"
"Well, this meeting is mainly to discuss this matter. There are two issues. One is how long to buy the live broadcast copyright, and the other is the copyright fee. Everyone, please speak freely."
"My suggestion is to pay generously. It's not easy for young people to be forest rangers. The report Cui Peng wrote after returning from the nature reserve was very detailed." Gu Cuihong was still the first to speak.
There was a heated discussion in the meeting room.
Li Mu was looking for his two mountain kings.
After chatting with netizens for a while, Brother Nan and Suanrou disappeared again. I wonder which little animal will be unlucky.
"Oh, why are you here? Did you move?"
"Well, hello too, Master Yogurt remembers that you didn't live here before."
Li Mu listened carefully and caught the voice of his mountain king, who seemed to be chatting with someone.
Following the direction of the sound, Li Mu walked into a forest.
Brother Nan and the kitten were squatting in front of a small mound of earth. There was a hole in the mound, revealing a small scaly head.
It's the pangolin.
When it saw Li Mu, the pangolin immediately came out of its hole, trotted over to him and rubbed his calves.
When it was dug out by the wolf cub, it would have been eaten if it weren't for this two-legged beast.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Li Mu smiled, squatted down, held the pangolin in his hands, and touched its little head. "Why are you here?"
Before the pangolin could say anything, a dark shadow jumped out from the bushes nearby, ran quickly to Li Mu, chirped and patted his calves.
"Put it down! Put it down!"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment. The one that slapped it was also a pangolin, but it was larger in size and was a male pangolin.
"stop!"
The little pangolin in Li Mu's hand jumped to the ground and used its head to push the big pangolin away. "They are good bipeds, don't hit them!" The male pangolin who slapped Li Mu was stunned when he saw the little pangolin protecting him.
"No wonder he moved here, it turns out he found a partner." Brother Nan grinned as he looked at the pangolin that suddenly appeared.
When the giant pangolin heard Brother Nan's voice, it turned its head and found that there was also a biped and a cat, so it immediately curled up into a ball.
Seeing this, the little pangolin walked up to the big pangolin and poked it twice with its little claws, "Don't be afraid, they are the two-legged beasts that saved me."
"Click."
The giant pangolin opened its armor and stuck its head out to look at Li Mu.
"Hello." Li Mu greeted it with a smile.
"Hello, hello." The giant pangolin stretched out its body completely. It felt the kindness from the two-legged beast in front of it.
"You are very brave." Li Mu couldn't help but praise.
Pangolins are very timid. This pangolin dared to attack him, probably because it was worried that the little pangolin would be hurt.
I found a good partner.
The male pangolin felt a little embarrassed at this time. The two-legged beast in front of him was his wife's savior, but he still attacked her.
"Here, since you have started a family together, consider this as my gift to you." Li Mu took out a small bottle of honey from his backpack, opened the lid and handed it to Pangolin.
He pretended to make water for the kitten to drink.
The little pangolin held the small bottle, stuck out its long tongue, took a bite, and squinted its eyes.
Li Mu was also very happy.
The pangolin population is getting smaller and smaller. It is a very good thing that now two pangolins can form a pair, live together, and produce more offspring.
"You guys need to work harder and give birth to more litters of little pangolins, okay?"
"??"
The two pangolins tilted their heads, not understanding what Li Mu meant.
Li Mu grinned and didn't explain. He stood up and looked at Brother Nan, "Let's go."
"Wait!" The giant pangolin called out to Li Mu, turned around and ran quickly back to the hole in the small mound.
After a while, it came out with a small black coal ball in its mouth, with a white mushroom stem on the top.
"Here you go." The giant pangolin put the thing in front of Li Mu and looked at him nervously.
This grew in its nest, and no one knows what it is. But it has nothing else to give it at the moment, and wonders if this biped will like it.
If he doesn't like it, he will go catch some ant bees and give them to him, the giant pangolin thought to itself.
"What is this?" Li Mu looked at the small coal balls on the ground and was a little surprised.
"What's wrong? What is this?" Brother Nan picked up the small coal ball on the ground curiously.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be black ginseng." Li Mu examined it carefully and found that it was indeed black ginseng, just as it was recorded in the books he had read.
"You little fellow." Li Mu looked down at the pangolin, "I just gave you a small bottle of honey, but you gave me such a big gift in return."
"Black ginseng?" Nan squatted down and looked at the kitten hooked on her trouser legs. "It's also ginseng. Is it similar to ginseng?"
"Black ginseng is not ginseng, it is a kind of fungus, but its value is the same as wild ginseng. It is very precious." Li Mu nodded.
Seeing that Li Mu seemed to like them very much, the two pangolins looked at each other and ran into the cave.
There are still many in their holes.
