"Mom, how much can this cost?" Yu Jingui focused on the money.
She also asked questions that other people in the Bai family were concerned about.
"I have this fifty tael." Zhen weighed it and said calmly.
Fifty taels of silver?
Sisters-in-law Eugene Gui and Xie Chuntao almost lost their balance.
It's not unusual for one to be fifty taels, but the key is that each one in the basket is fifty taels.
How much does this cost?
My sister-in-law is really good. In all these years in Shenshu Village, no one has ever heard of ginseng. She just pulled out a basket of it.
Zhen was happy, but not as surprised as others.
She picked up the basket casually. Except for a layer of wild radishes on the top, everything underneath was filled with ginseng.
In the past, it was not unusual to have century-old ginseng like this in Zhen's house. It was soaked in water and mixed with bird's nests to make porridge. Even those who are weak can directly use it as a medicine to introduce Tuan Yangrong Pills. One Yangrong Pill requires a whole hundred-year-old ginseng.
"Mom, you know so much. This is my first time seeing ginseng. I heard that eating ginseng can lead to immortality. Is it true?" Eugene Gui asked Zhen.
Zhen smiled and said: "Of course it's a lie. If it were true, those people who can afford ginseng would never grow old. However, it is true that ginseng prolongs life."
"I've also heard that in wealthy families, ginseng is used to hang up babies when they give birth, so that the mother will have strength," Xie Chuntao said.
"Not bad." Zhen nodded.
Old Mrs. Bai did not participate in the gossip of Zhen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She picked up the ginseng, counted them one by one, and then sorted them into piles according to size.
"Oh, this one is different from other ginseng."
I saw that the one held by Eugene Gui was much larger than the other ginseng, darker in color, and had longer whiskers, coiled around the ginseng body.
At first glance, it looks like a humanoid.
Zhen looked at it and said, "This one is probably thousands of years old."
What? Wouldn’t that mean becoming a spirit?
Yu Jingui put it down in fright, clasped his hands and bowed to the ginseng, muttering: "Ginseng essence, I didn't mean to take you just now."
Xie Chuntao was so frightened that she quickly clasped her hands together and asked Zhen, "Mom, I heard that a thousand-year-old ginseng can run around and transform into a human being. Is it true?"
Eugene Gui said worriedly: "This ginseng will not turn into a human and run away from our house."
Zhen couldn't help but laugh and said: "How can it be so magical? It's just a legend."
Eugene Gui asked again: "Mom, I heard from Dr. Wu that a thousand-year-old ginseng can bring the dead back to life. Is it true or not?"
Zhen continued to laugh and said: "It's fake, because thousand-year-old ginseng is very rare. Some doctors will never come across it in their lifetime. Even the richest royal family rarely sees it, so its effectiveness is exaggerated."
After hearing these words, Eugene Gui and Xie Chuntao were even more surprised. They both looked at Xiao Fuyuan. It was incredible. Even the royal family rarely saw the thousand-year-old ginseng. My sister-in-law got it from Lao Bai's house with just one pull.
Is my sister-in-law more powerful than a god?
Where is the ginseng? It is a pile of sparkling gold!
Mrs. Zhen seemed to see through the thoughts of the two daughters-in-law, and said with a warning: "Your sister is not very powerful. If you touch a thousand-year-old ginseng, you never know who will touch her."
Eugene Gui and Xie Chuntao nodded.
"The hundred-year-old ginseng just now cost fifty taels, but what about this thousand-year-old ginseng, one hundred taels?" Eugene Gui said a number tremblingly.
"One hundred taels of gold, maybe. This thing is expensive because it's rare, and it's rare because it's so popular." Zhen said, touching the thousand-year-old ginseng.
Xie Chuntao and Eugene Gui were so shocked by the one hundred taels of gold that they could not recover.
They had only seen gold earrings, not lumps of gold.
It was as if the thousand-year-old ginseng in front of me was a pile of sparkling gold.
Old Mrs. Bai is no better than her two grandsons-in-law. In terms of gold, even in the most prosperous years of the Old Bai family, there was not so much gold.
"Where will I sell this ginseng?" Bai Dazhuang asked a very practical question.
Sell it to a drug store in the town and within two days, the whole village will know about it.
They didn't want the villagers to know that they had a basket of ginseng.
Although everyone knows that Xiao Fuyuan is the lucky treasure of the family, the family has improved step by step over the years, and it is inseparable from the concerted efforts of everyone. There are not many treasures that can be obtained directly through Xiao Fuyuan's hands. If you heard that Xiao Fuyuan opened it in person Goldfinger is too irritating.
If word spreads, I'm afraid those jealous people will be detrimental to Xiao Fuyuan
After all, Xiao Fuyuan was kidnapped.
Therefore, everyone knew very well that in order to protect this matter, they could not sell it to the drug store in the town.
Besides, there is no market in the drugstore in the town. Who can buy old ginseng with a handful of silver and a handful of gold? Even the richest man in Nanguan Town, the Xu family, doesn’t eat ginseng every day.
"I heard that Ah Zhen across the street drinks a bowl of ginseng soup a day. Good guy, the Xia family has such a strong foundation, why don't we sell it to the other side." Eugene Gui raised her hands to vote. She not only heard about it, but also saw He He from the opposite side. The housekeeper chased A Zhen and fed him ginseng soup.
The origin of Lao Xia's family is unclear, but Eugene Gui only thinks that buying ginseng from across the street is like buying Chinese cabbage.
Old Mrs. Bai shook her head and said, "We are all neighbors, so I'm afraid it would not be good to sell ginseng to each other."
"What's wrong with that? You won't give it to them for free. Anyway, he buys it from the drug store, and he buys it from us." Eugene Gui made some sense.
"Nai, I think what my sister-in-law said makes sense. The people across the street are not the unruly ones, and they will definitely not talk nonsense in the village. Furthermore, I heard Dr. Zhang mention something about the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, which shows that the doctor is also good at treating diseases. Need..." Xie Chuntao stood by Eugene Gui this time.
What Xie Chuntao didn't say was that Doctor Zhang said that if Erlang was given thousand-year-old ginseng, Erlang's legs would probably get better.
But she couldn't say this, she couldn't make a decision. She and Da Zhuang didn't dig up such valuable things.
"No, it's not appropriate to sell to the other party. It's hard to negotiate at this price. I'll let the third child take me to the herbal medicine shop in Huaicheng later. An impersonal transaction is the fairest." Mrs. Bai made the decision.
Everyone nodded in agreement, feeling that Mrs. Bai was still thinking about her cycle.
At this time, Xiao Fuyuan had something to say. She took the thousand-year-old ginseng and said, "This one is not for sale."
"If you don't want to sell it, you won't sell it. You dug it, you decide." Mrs. Bai said with a doting look on her face.
Since the granddaughter likes it, she will keep it. The ginseng can be preserved for hundreds of years, so it should be used as a dowry for her.
The others nodded, except for Eugene Gui, everyone thought that Xiao Fuyuan had the right to make the decision.
"Okay, I won't sell this one." Bai Banban and Zhen agreed.
Except for this thousand-year-old ginseng, others can also make a lot of money.
Eugene Gui was unhappy, feeling that the whole family was indulging his sister-in-law. Such a precious thousand-year-old ginseng could not be compared to a basket of ginseng.
What does my sister-in-law know about her children? Why should I stay here? As a dowry?
What on earth are you thinking, you are wasting a bunch of gold.
Wouldn't it be better to exchange gold for buying land, a house, and a shop?
Next, Xiao Fuyuan's words made Eugene Gui vomit blood.
Xiao Fuyuan waved to Erlang in the corner. Erlang came to Xiao Fuyuan in a wheelchair. Xiao Fuyuan put up his aunt's score. He touched Erlang's head like an adult and said, "Give this pill to Erlang. Drink it." The legs are just fine.”
The whole family gasped.
Xie Chuntao's tears suddenly rolled down.
