With Chen Hanqing's help, the ginseng harvest went very smoothly.
Lu Jing had already handed over the fifty-six ginseng plants dug on the first day to Gu Caiwei and asked her to help find buyers in the capital.
Gu Caiwei even had the idea of opening her own ginseng shop after looking for someone to check out the quality of the batch of ginseng, and after hearing from Lu Jing that more goods would be delivered in the future.
Although Gu Cai has never opened a drug store or done any related business before, the signature product of her charcoal store, Hongluo charcoal, is high-end, and she has met many nobles and nobles who are interested in ginseng, especially ginseng. There is a lot of demand for ginseng that is more than a hundred years old.
If you can sell to them directly, you can save a lot of intermediate costs.
However, in addition to the supply of goods and customers, there are many other problems that need to be solved when opening a store. At least for the first batch of ginseng, Gu Caiwei, apart from keeping some as gifts for her own use, still found a drug store to sell the rest.
By the way, I also explored the details of several drug stores in the city. On the one hand, I wanted to see their purchase and sales prices, and on the other hand, I also wanted to know which one could recruit people from them.
Especially the shopkeepers of drug stores must know the quality, price, and even the efficacy of various medicinal materials. Ordinary people cannot do this, not even the several very capable old shopkeepers around Gu Caiwei. They must poach people.
But these things are not what Lu Jing cares about.
After throwing the first batch of ginseng to Gu Caiwei, Lu Jing started the second wave of planting according to the original plan.
Chen Hanqing was naturally very concerned after hearing the news, but because the soil quality near the old field had deteriorated, Lu Jing was worried that it would affect the growth of the new batch of ginseng, so he placed the new field a little further away.
Chen Hanqing couldn't find an excuse to follow him, and he couldn't see Lu Jing's planting process, so he wandered around in the old field anxiously.
Needless to say, he actually came up with a solution in the end.
That is - work overtime!
Yes, that's right. Thanks to Chen Hanqing's hard arguments, he has now successfully increased his working hours to five hours a day.
During these five hours, he will definitely not be able to leave Jiutian, but he can take a step ahead. After completing today's work, he can also complete the five hours of work tomorrow. .
In this way, wouldn't he have an extra day at his disposal tomorrow?
Thinking of this, Chen Hanqing's spirit could not help but perk up, and he felt as if there was no way out of the mountains and rivers, and there was a village with dark flowers and dark flowers.
For this reason, he came to Jiutian early the next morning, bringing twelve mutton buns and a large bucket of water.
First he ate four steamed buns for breakfast, and then he cheered up and started digging for ginseng. Because he had already done it all day yesterday, Chen Hanqing now had some experience.
But even so, it still takes a lot of effort for him to dig out a ginseng plant.
In addition to the need for eyesight to find ginseng among the dense weeds, the digging process after finding ginseng is not easy. You must be very careful. The legs are easy to say. After all, they are so big in the ground. As long as you are a little careful, you will not touch them. , but those roots are in trouble.
Every root needs to be dug out from the ground, and cannot be broken, otherwise the value of ginseng will be damaged.
For this reason, Chen Hanqing also went through ancient books, specially found a deer bone, and made it into a stick to pull out the ginseng beards.
It was hard work, but it was just a preparation for growing ginseng by himself in the future. Thinking of this, Chen Hanqing felt motivated again.
Even after working for ten hours, he no longer felt tired. When he was hungry, he would eat a steamed bun, and when he was thirsty, he would drink some well water from the bucket. In order to prevent Lu Jing from finding fault, he was even more serious than on the first day.
After digging the ginseng field once, he actually dug it over twice from the beginning and found almost ten more ginseng plants. In the remaining time, Chen Hanqing moved to the Polygonum multiflorum field not far away.
Compared with ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum is much easier to dig, so Chen Hanqing continued to carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and tiredness, and almost finished digging the Polygonum multiflorum in the ground at one go.
Even though Chen Hanqing was now a second-rate master in internal energy, he felt tired after finishing the exercise.
Not only was he physically exhausted, he was also mentally exhausted. Chen Hanqing had even developed a conditioned reflex. When he saw weeds, he couldn't control his hands and wanted to open them to see if there were ginseng and polygonum multiflorum underneath.
But fortunately, all this hard work was meaningful. Not to mention the one hundred taels of silver per day, the most important thing was that Chen Hanqing finally earned himself a day of free time.
He had even thought of an excuse to explain why he was going to Nitta.
Seeing that the sun was about to rise, Chen Hanqing just returned to his residence to rest for a while, washed his face, regained his energy a little, and hurried to Xintian without even changing his clothes.
The illusion formations arranged by Lu Jing were all very low-level and could not stop Chen Hanqing, a spiritual genius.
It wasn't long before he broke it.
Looking at the lush weeds in front of him and the ginseng seedlings looming among the weeds, Chen Hanqing's first feeling was shock.
You know, just yesterday, this place was just blank, nothing.
I don’t know what tricks Lu Jing used to make the weeds here grow to calf height in just one day.
This also made Chen Hanqing more and more determined to secretly learn Lu Jing's secret planting method.
With this method, even if he couldn't get Lu Jing's elixir recipe and couldn't improve his internal skills, at least he would not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life and could be a happy and wealthy man.
Thinking of this, Chen Hanqing's back straightened even more, and he stood at the edge of the field with firm eyes. He secretly made up his mind that even if the King of Heaven came today, he would not be able to drive him away from here!
On the other hand, Lu Jing also packed his things and prepared to accompany Wen Xiaochuan to celebrate her grandmother's birthday.
Although he was rushing to get the big gift, it seemed a bit uncomfortable to be so empty-handed, so Lu Jing picked a ginseng that was over 200 years old from the newly collected batch of ginseng, and two more that were over 200 years old. One hundred and fifty, packed up and ready to be given as a gift.
But this time, Wen Xiaochuan didn't sleep in anymore and came early to knock on Lu Jing's door.
Lu Jing opened the door and saw Wen Xiaochuan standing outside the door wearing a high bun, a small comb and a hairpin, wearing a green embroidered dress and a yellow gold skirt.
In the end, Lu Jing almost didn't recognize it. Although Wen Xiaochuan used to wear makeup, she mostly put it on. She also tried her best to choose simple and comfortable styles for her bun and clothes, which showed off her beauty without being too overdone. trouble.
But this time Wen Xiaochuan went home to celebrate his birthday and was obviously ready to go all out.
Not only her clothes and grooming, but also every strand of her hair was carefully taken care of. The angle, color, and even the smell were impeccable.
In Chen Chao, where there was no gel or conditioner, Lu Jing didn't know how she did it.
Perhaps there is only one word that can describe Wen Xiaochuan now, and that is - perfect.
Perfect from head to toe.
