It took half an hour to dig a few ginseng.
Following Cui Hongyu's instructions, after digging them all out, they carefully put them into a cloth bag and then put them into his arms. Then Chen Xiaobei hurried home.
As I walked, I thought about it secretly in my mind, remembering the place where the pheasant I just saw flying was firmly in my mind, and when I came back from selling ginseng, I would go and look for it slowly.
When he hurried to the entrance of the village, the scene in front of him moved him deeply.
Cui Hongyu was holding water in an iron pot to water the vegetables, while Chen Qiaoer was holding a small branch and digging something on the ground nearby.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei coming, her sister Chen Qiaoer stood up, came to Chen Xiaobei's side, and pointed towards the place where she had been working.
"Brother, I don't know who caused the trouble and brought the poop into our field."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Chen Xiaobei had a thought. Yeah, poop.
Human and animal manure, even in the twentieth century, is still an important part of fertilizer in vegetable fields. The most important reason is that this kind of farmyard manure is easy to decompose.
Thinking of this, he laughed and reached out to pat Chen Qiaoer's head.
"Qiao'er, you're not doing anything bad, you're here to help us. If you bury this poop in the ground, the vegetables in the ground will grow very well."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qiaoer's eyes lit up, and she opened her big eyes and asked.
"Brother, if you bury this poop, the vegetables that grow out won't have a smell, right?"
Chen Xiaobei didn't know how to explain this to his sister for a while.
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
At this time, Cui Hongyu came over and bowed respectfully to Chen Xiaobei, "Husband, the rice porridge has been cooked at home before you come here, and I will wait for you to come back to eat."
Well, at this moment, Chen Xiaobei's best choice is of course to obey.
As soon as he returned home, before Cui Hongyu could put away the food, Chen Xiaobei had already taken out the ginseng plants from his arms.
"Hongyu, look at it. It was picked from the mountain. What's the quality like?"
Cui Hongyu then took a closer look at his hands, and his eyes gradually let out a glimmer of joy.
"Husband, this tree is seven years old, and this one is ten years old."
As she spoke, she placed the ginsengs on the stone table one by one, and finally took out the largest one. After looking at it, Cui Hongyu's eyes lit up with joy.
"Husband, this tree must be at least thirty years old. It can be sold for at least a few taels of silver in a drugstore."
No, Chen Xiaobei also had an incredible look in his eyes. He thought it was valuable, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable.
"Kuyu, is it true? Is this really that valuable?"
Cui Hongyu nodded, "Husband, you will understand this when you take it to the pharmacy."
After drinking two bowls of rice porridge, Chen Xiaobei rushed to the county seat impatiently.
His goal is very clear, naturally it is the largest pharmacy in the county, Huahao Tang.
When the boy in the store saw Chen Xiaobei come in, there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.
He stepped forward and hugged Chen Xiaobei, "Master, what do you do for me?"
Although he calls himself a young master, his words, "Why do you do so much," are obviously contemptuous.
But after all, he didn't show any obvious symptoms, and Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but have a seizure, so he had no choice but to nod his head to the little guy and take out a ginseng plant from his arms.
"I dug up a few rare plants and want to see what price we can get here?"
The boy glanced at the ginseng in his hand, with a look of surprise in his eyes, "Where did you get this?"
Chen Xiaobei smiled calmly.
"People in the mountains occasionally get it. I wonder if you can give me a price."
The boy looked at him, clasped his fists and said "Wait a moment," then turned around and ran to the back hall.
Soon an old man with white beard and hair came out following the young man.
The old man came to Chen Xiaobei and cupped his fists slightly, "The old man Jia Wannian is the shopkeeper of Huahao Hall."
"Master, can you show me the ginseng again?"
Well, since you are the shopkeeper, let me show you again.
This time Chen Xiaobei took out the oldest one. According to Cui Hongyu, this one was over thirty years old.
Sure enough, when Jia Wannian saw this ginseng tree, his eyes shone with excitement.
He took it, turned it over and looked at it carefully, and then carefully handed it back to Chen Xiaobei's hand.
"Master, let's go over there and talk."
Saying this, he gestured to the boy next to him, and the boy immediately turned and left.
Jia Wannian took Chen Xiaobei and walked all the way inside. There was a table and several chairs in the innermost part.
Jia Wannian asked Chen Xiaobei to sit down, and then the boy came over with tea.
When he saw the tea being served, Chen Xiaobei understood that Jia Wannian wanted to have a good chat with him.
Sure enough, Jia Wannian politely invited him to drink tea and said with a smile, "Sir, at what price do you plan to sell these ginseng trees in your hands?"
Chen Xiaobei smiled calmly, and slapped him according to the estimate given by Cui Hongyu.
"I have a total of seven ginseng plants here, this number in total."
As he spoke, he took out the ginseng one by one from his arms and placed them on the table.
Jia Wannian's eyes flashed with surprise. Maybe he thought of Chen Xiaobei's ginseng, but he didn't expect that Chen Xiaobei would have so many.
Jia Wannian picked up the ginseng trees one by one and nodded with satisfaction after looking at them one by one.
"Yes, these are authentic wild ginseng, and five taels of silver is reasonable. Just wait while I get the silver for you."
After a short effort, Jia Wannian came back with a cloth bag in his hand. He gently put the bag in front of the table and said, "Young master, you count, no more, no less, exactly five hangings."
Chen Xiaobei looked at the bag, but did not open it or even count it.
He still believed in the basic trust between people.
He clasped his fist at Jia Wannian, took the bag and was about to turn around and leave, but Jia Wannian called him back.
"Master, please stay. I have a few more words to say."
Chen Xiaobei stopped and turned around, "Shopkeeper Jia, if you have any questions, just give me your orders."
Jia Wannian chuckled and said, "I don't dare to accept my orders. If the young master digs out any medicinal materials again in the future, I can send them directly over."
"If the young master digs too much, you can send a message and I will take someone to get it myself."
Regarding this sentence, Chen Xiaobei only regarded the other party as being polite.
Besides, with my efficiency, can I dig out medicinal materials and have customers come to pick them up? Obviously this is impossible.
After leaving Huahao Hall, Chen Xiaobei felt happy and ready to take off.
I made five ounces of copper coins in one fell swoop, which meant I had to catch a lot of pheasants.
He didn't even stay in the county town for long, he immediately turned around and headed home.
After returning home, Chen Xiaobei took a step forward without saying a word, picked up Cui Hongyu and lifted him into the air.
