Glancing at the middle-aged man, Zhao Yiran turned his head to look at the thin old man: "Uncle, I don't have any cash with me, can you scan the code? ”

Zhao Yiran looked at it, there was no QR code sign around the thin old man.

"That's all I have, since you've bought it, young man, it's time for me to go back, there's a bank not far ahead. ”

The thin old man got up and said, wrapped up the three ginseng sticks with his hand, and handed them to Zhao Yiran.

"Good!"

Zhao Yiran replied and took the ginseng.

The two of them walked in unison towards the gate of the medicinal herb market.

"Young man, you don't have to buy Ermaozi's ginseng, his ginseng is all wholesale, and some of it is less than a year old.

This kind of ginseng has no nutritional value at all, and it is only a dozen pieces at most. ”

While walking, the thin old Li Tou said to Zhao Yiran.

"Well, if it weren't for Uncle Li's reminder just now, I would have almost been fooled. ”

Zhao Yiran thanked and continued: "By the way, Uncle Li, you dug this ginseng yourself?"

"That's right, I don't have any skills, old man, when I was young, I often followed my father to dig ginseng and make a little money. ”

Uncle Li took a few mouthfuls of dry tobacco, raised his eyebrows and looked at the medicine shovel in Zhao Yiran's hand, and said, "Young man, you are holding a shovel for digging ginseng, so you are also interested in digging ginseng?"

"Recently, I heard that it was the peak season for ginseng digging, so I wanted to dig it myself.

Maybe I'm lucky, and if I get a thousand-year-old ginseng, I'll make a fortune~!"

Zhao Yiran grinned and continued: "By the way, Uncle Li, you have been digging ginseng since you were a child, have you ever encountered valuable ginseng?"

"Digging ginseng is a skillful job, and the culture in it is deep, but you can't just dig ginseng with a shovel. ”

Listening to Zhao Yiran's words, Lao Li Tou grinned and said, "Besides, finding ginseng is still a technical job." ”

"Valuable ginseng was naturally encountered, but I was young and vigorous at the time, and as a result, ginseng ran away......"

At the mention of this, Lao Li Tou looked remorseful, and took a few puffs of dry smoke: "That's a hundred years of wild ginseng, it's a pity that this is a treasure of heaven and earth." ”

"Hmm, what! 100-year-old wild ginseng...... Ran away?"

Originally, listening to Lao Li Tou's words and mentioning the century-old wild ginseng, Zhao Yiran, who was excited, didn't have time to be happy, but was suddenly shocked by Lao Li Tou's last two words.

was asking this old Li Tou for the trick of digging ginseng, and when he heard that the other party had seen and dug wild ginseng for a hundred years, Zhao Yiran knew that he had actually met a real ginseng digging craftsman.

But the ginseng ran away...... What is the meaning?

Does Ginseng Really Run?

Suddenly, Zhao Yiran remembered the bundle of immortal ropes that the fat boss told him when he had just bought the medicine shovel......

But no matter how you listen to it, Zhao Yiran feels that this matter is unreliable.

Is there another meaning to it?

"That's right, I just ran away, I was too excited at the beginning, after all, 100-year-old wild ginseng is rare, and the medicinal value is extremely high, it is a top medicinal material.

In addition to the excitement, I didn't have time to inform my father, so I started to dig by myself, but unexpectedly, my hand shook, and the rope tied in a dead knot.

Of course, if I had kept my father's words in mind and tied the fairy rope and tied the slipknot, I wouldn't have let that ginseng slip away......"

Lao Li's face was sad.

"Wait, what kind of dead knot, is it true that the fairy rope is tied? Also, what does it mean that the ginseng runs away? The long legs are running...?...?"

Zhao Yiran looked puzzled.

"Oh~!I forgot, you don't know how to dig ginseng, this is all the jargon of ginseng digging skills!"

Lao Li patted his head and said with a smile: "The so-called ginseng ran away because it destroyed the soil connected to the ginseng fibrous roots when it was unearthed, resulting in the leakage of ginseng spirit, which is where the essence of ginseng is."

If this ginseng leaks the ginseng spirit, it will not take a few minutes, and before you can get all the ginseng out of the soil, the ginseng will be rotten. ”

For the young man Zhao Yiran in front of him, Lao Li knew that he had never used a shovel or dug ginseng by looking at the lines of his palms.

"What about the tie of fairy ropes? If you tie it, you can't leak the spirit? There's nothing wrong with tying the dead knot...... Uh~!No, the dead knot is easy to hurt the fibrous roots, right? If you hurt the fibrous roots, you will naturally leak the spirit......"

Zhao Yiran listened to Lao Li's words and suddenly sighed.

"That's right, young man, it seems that you have a talent for digging ginseng, and ordinary people can't react so quickly......"

Lao Li Tou praised.

Dada-da~!

The dry tobacco pole smashed his arm, and Lao Li raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yiran: "Young man, for the sake of you buying my three ginsengs, let's do it, when I learned to dig ginseng with my father, I took a lot of notes, so I'll give it to you. ”

After chatting with the young man in front of him for a few times, Lao Li Tou felt quite speculative, and recalled some memories of following his father to go up the mountain to find ginseng.

"Huh......? Isn't that embarrassing? ”

Originally, Zhao Yiran just wanted to inquire about his experience, but for now, Zhao Yiran has gained a lot.

Lao Li Tou mentioned digging notes, which really made Zhao Yiran feel that this gift was a bit heavy.

"Alright, it's just some accompanying records, it's nothing.

Usually, there aren't many people who say a few more words to this old man, I have no wife and children, and I'm so old, otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to be brought into the ground......"

Lao Li sighed a few times and waved his hand.

Subsequently, he escaped from his bosom with a fur book.

Feelings, this old plum is carried with you......

Seeing this, Zhao Yiran was quite surprised.

But what Zhao Yiran didn't know was that this old Li Tou had no place to live, and he usually lived in the mountains, and if he didn't carry things like skill notes, he might have lost them a long time ago.

......

More than ten minutes later, Zhao Yiran withdrew a thousand yuan from Lao Litou.

But Lao Li Tou only needs the money from selling ginseng, and he doesn't take any more.

Just say it's enough to buy cigarettes and alcohol......

Looking at the back of Lao Li Tou leaving, Zhao Yiran pinched the suede notebook in his hand, and secretly thanked in his heart.

......

In the evening, Zhao Yiran appeared in the mountain forest area of the western district of Jiangcheng.

Behind Zhao Yiran, he was carrying a backpack, and Xiao Ling also had a satchel on his body.

It's full of sweet potatoes with slow potato.

Zhao Yiran naturally didn't need anything else, including food and water.

Free wild fruits, birds, beasts, rabbits, and mountain springs and streams in the mountains.

As long as you have enough spiritual power and recover quickly, everything else is not a problem.

"Xiaoling, come, give it to me, although this is not the area where wild ginseng appears, but I can't keep some goods, it's okay to practice first~!"

Zhao Yiran took off Xiao Ling's satchel, took out the ginseng he bought from Lao Li Tou from his bag, and handed it to Xiao Ling's mouth.

Sniff~!

Sniff sniff sniff~!

Xiao Ling sniffed the ginseng with his nose vigorously, and swallowed the ginseng with the last bite.

"Okay, remember the taste, and I'll leave it to you!"

Zhao Yiran stroked Xiao Ling's back and said.
