Chapter 35 - Chapter 18 Autumn Harvest_2

Mrs. Chen scooped some ginseng out of the big jar and placed it in several large basins, adding water to these as well. Then everyone was given a brush to scrub off the mud on the ginseng. While brushing the ginseng, you had to be careful not to brush off the ginseng's "tassels", especially the thick ones under the reed head, on the neck of the ginseng, often referred to as whiskers. These were the most likely to fall off, and once they did, they could only be sold as tassels, which of course wouldn't fetch as high a price as if they had remained on the ginseng.

Jinghan didn't join in scrubbing the ginseng; instead, she went up the mountain with Wenhan and the others. At this time of year, the mountains offered an abundance of treasures. Pine cones, hazelnuts, walnuts, and other nuts, along with wild grapes, magnolia berries, hardy kiwis, and other fruits, were all ripe. There were also hazel grouse and winter mushrooms to be found. Autumn was truly a season of harvest.
