Although Li Yuan himself felt a little incredible, there was really no other explanation other than this. The only possibility is that the gold beads that came out of the peach pit yesterday were broken and absorbed by ginseng, which is why this happened. However, this is just Li Yuan's speculation, and he is not sure what the truth is.

It was really difficult for Li Yuan to find out the truth, so he quickly decided to show this ginseng to Lao Liao first to find out whether the change was good or bad.

Before going out, Li Yuan pinched off the leaves and fruits of the ginseng, after all, it was too magical. And Lao Liao has already half of his feet in the ground, Li Yuan doesn't want to scare him because of this, in case he makes three long and two short, it is not good.

Lao Liao's name, Liao Hanqing, is also Li Yuan's neighbor, and the two families live very close, just a few minutes' walk away. Speaking of Lao Liaolai, Li Yuan is not only grateful but admired.

When Li Yuan's mother was still alive, Lao Liao usually helped Li Yuan's mother and son because of the pity of their orphans and widows. After Li Yuan's mother died of illness due to overwork, Lao Liao took the initiative to take the lead, and with the busy work of Li Qian's parents and other neighbors, he held a beautiful funeral for Li Yuan's mother.

Therefore, Li Yuan has always regarded Lao Liao as an adult, although the two of them are very casual when they usually get along, but in Li Yuan's heart, this is definitely a respectable elder.

Lao Liao lives alone, and Li Yuan even has the key to his house. When I opened the door of Lao Liao's house familiarly, the first thing I saw was the thick old bamboo and many half-made bamboo carvings.

Lao Liao is not young, and his old rheumatic legs make him inconvenient all year round, so he usually passes the time by carving these things. In fact, the bamboo carving that Li Yuan sold yesterday is Lao Liao's work.

Li Yuan and Lao Liao are in charge of carving, and the other is in charge of selling, although the two have never talked about how to divide the money they earn, but they have always worked very well together. And Li Yuan also used most of the money he earned to buy medicine and various supplements for Lao Liao, and only a small part of it was used on himself.

"Lao Liao, I'm here." After entering the door, Li Yuan shouted, and soon saw Lao Liao coming out on crutches.

Lao Liao is in his sixties, and his hands are as rough as sandpaper, and he is obviously used to doing rough work. However, in his small and crowded study, there are all kinds of books, many of which are about to be turned over, and from this point of view, Lao Liao is a bit like a reader.

None of the neighbors knew the origin of Lao Liao, and he himself had always been secretive about it, and Li Yuan was very knowledgeable and never asked. In Li Yuan's opinion, it is enough to know what kind of person Lao Liao is, and there is really no need to ask about the past of others.

"You're here!" Lao Liao's tone was cold, but there was a hint of relief on his wrinkled old face.

"Yesterday I sold that bamboo carving, three hundred." Although he knew that Lao Liao didn't care about these at all, Li Yuan still habitually reported to Lao Liao.

Lao Liao really frowned, and then said indifferently: "It's your business how much to sell, you don't have to tell me in the future." ”

"I'm just talking about it." Li Yuan smiled slightly: "Then I bought you a root ginseng, but ...... The ginseng I bought this time is a bit strange, so let's see if you can eat it yourself. ”

In Li Yuan's impression, Lao Liao's knowledge is extremely complex, and he can be said to know everything about astronomy and geography, so it is most appropriate for him to identify the "mutated" ginseng by himself.

Lao Liao frowned and said, "What is a little strange, shouldn't you kid be deceived by someone......"

At this time, Li Yuan had already taken out the ginseng, and Lao Liao immediately swallowed back the words behind him, pointing at the ginseng with a surprised face, and his fingers trembled a little with excitement.

I've known Lao Liao for so long, Li Yuan has never seen him like this, so he hurriedly reminded: "Hey, don't get excited!" It's just the two of us here, and if you burst your blood vessels, I won't be able to tell if I'm covered in mouths! ”

Li Yuan's words worked, and Lao Liao finally returned to his usual appearance, glared at him fiercely and said, "You stinky boy, you will talk nonsense, quickly show me the ginseng!" ”

Li Yuan smiled and handed over the ginseng. Lao Liao carefully took the ginseng, looked at it carefully for a while, and then praised it: "This ...... This is a real wild ginseng! Look at this shape, this iron thread, this reed bowl and the pearl grains on the roots, this wild ginseng is at least more than a hundred years old! Boy, did you go robbing a Chinese medicine store? ”

"Cut, we're all so acquainted, you don't know who I am?" Li Yuan felt that he had been greatly insulted, and said indignantly: "Will I do something that has no technical content and relies on brute force?!" ”

Lao Liao looked at Li Yuan for a while, and then nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, you kid has been frail and sickly since he was a child, so he prefers to play tricks and deceive people, and you really can't do this kind of work that requires strength!" ”

Li Yuan said angrily: "I won't discuss this issue with you, you just need to tell me if this ginseng can be eaten and whether it is good for your body!" ”

"Do you need to ask?" Lao Liao gave Li Yuan a roll of his eyes and said, "This is a wild ginseng that is more than 100 years old, and there is nowhere to buy it on the market now!" In the past, rich people were dying, and if they wanted to live a few more days, they would hang themselves with this kind of thing, do you say they can eat it? According to my estimate, the effect of one ginseng whisker of ginseng can be worth an entire forest ginseng. ”

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good if you can eat it, you can put it away and eat it slowly." ”

Seeing that Li Yuan actually wanted to give this wild ginseng that was more than 100 years old to himself, Lao Liao hurriedly said: "Boy, I have received your wishes, but this thing is too precious, I really can't ask for it!" ”

"When does what I say not count?" Li Yuan frowned and said, "This ginseng was originally bought for you, you don't want anyone!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Yuan casually picked up the machete that Lao Liao used to cut bamboo next to him, and slashed it hard at the ginseng.

"Oops!" In Lao Liao's surprised whisper, the ginseng was neatly cut into two pieces.

"You kid, what a tyrannical thing!" Seeing that the matter was irreparable, Lao Liao helplessly pointed at Li Yuan and said, "Do you know how much this ginseng is worth now?" It's all over now! ”

Li Yuan casually threw the machete to the side, clapped his hands and asked casually, "How much is it worth?" ”

"At least two hundred and fifty thousand!" Lao Liao said regretfully: "And if the quality is good, there can be more!" ”

"II...... Two hundred and fifty thousand? Hearing this price, Li Yuan's eyes widened involuntarily, and he couldn't even say anything.

"Haha, now you know it's distressing, right?" Lao Liao smiled: "Take these two pieces back, if you meet someone who knows the goods, you can sell them for tens of thousands of yuan!" ”

However, to Lao Liao's surprise, Li Yuan had no intention of taking back this wild ginseng at all, but shook his head indifferently and said: "Isn't it just a wild ginseng, I'm not rare at all." You can take it and make up for it, maybe you can have a second spring, and then find a wife to have a baby, haha! ”

"You kid, you're using my old man's house for amusement again, get out!" The answer to Li Yuan was naturally Lao Liao's dissatisfied roar.

was interrupted by Li Yuan like this, and Lao Liao didn't ask him where this ginseng came from. Of course, Li Yuan would not take the initiative to mention it, and after a few more words with Lao Liao, he said goodbye and left.
