Chapter 5 Old Mountain Ginseng
Pingchuan County is a small county on the Yellow River Valley, located in the middle of nowhere, the traffic is inconvenient, the only connection to the outside is a road, so the county bus station is the most lively and the most mixed place - the station, which covers an area of less than 500 square meters, is full of people and cars all the time, and the air seems to be filled with a smell of sweat.
The entrances and exits of the station are the busiest, and in addition to the passengers who want to take the train, the most are the hawkers: a small car has a briquette stove on it, and a basin is set up, and the pot is boiled with corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, etc.
In addition, it is "soliciting boys". As long as there is a place where there is a station, there is the so-called "black car", simply put, it is those who do not enter the station, do not pay the relevant fees of the car, of course, the fare is cheaper than the car issued in the station, the "black car" because it does not enter the station, so please squat at the door of the station, as soon as you see someone who wants to take the car, you will step forward and pull people to take the car elsewhere, this is the so-called "soliciting boy", soliciting boy is to make money by taking commissions.
Gu An was one of them, exposed to the sun all year round, with dark red skin, wearing a half-new dress, and his hair was messy, like a chicken coop, leaning against the iron railing at the entrance and exit of the station.
"Fifth brother, how is the business?"
Bao Fang carried a red plastic bag in his left hand, took out a cigarette from his pocket with his right hand and threw one to Gu An, who ranked fifth in the family, so they all called him Fifth Brother.
"Smack!"
lit a cigarette, took a hard puff, and spewed out a large cloud of smoke, Gu An lazily leaned on the iron railing, shook his head, and said, "Grandma's, not a single guest is pulled." ”
Gu An got up from the quilt early in the morning, hoping to pull a few guests for Ma Zhuang's "black car", so as to earn some money to buy a gold necklace for Ma Zi, but seeing the sun climb higher and higher, but not a single guest was pulled, how could he not be depressed?
Pointing to the loudspeaker on the top of the station, Bao Fang said: "That thing has been shouting all day long, 'Passengers, please pay attention, don't take the illegal black car', and keep repeating, where is our way to live?" ”
"Yes, this day can't be mixed, Ma Zi still said that Christmas is coming, want a gold necklace as a gift, I can't figure out what the old man is about us Chinese, he doesn't look too white and good-looking, not to mention anything else, just the few long whiskers of the old man who is too white are more windy than the messy beard of the old man."
Thinking of Ma Zi's gesture of not giving up last night when he couldn't get the gold necklace, Gu An suddenly became irritable.
"Fifth brother, I have a way to get money, not to mention that I don't take care of you as a brother."
"Huh?"
Turning his head to look at Bao Fang, Gu An shook his head and said, "I don't want to do illegal things, I will be a dead man like that." ”
Lalake, if he is caught, he will be locked up for a few days and then come out, and he will lose his head if he really does anything about pornography, gambling and drugs.
"Fifth brother, do you think I am the one who does something?"
Gu An thought about it for a while, and he was happy, the two of them grew up with bare butts, and they had the impression that Bao Fang was more timid than himself, and he definitely didn't dare to kill the business of his head.
"What's the doorway to get money? Tell me about it. ”
Bao Fang handed the bag he was carrying to Gu An and said, "Fifth brother, you take a look first." ”
"What's that? So mysterious? ”
Gu An said as he took out the contents of the bag, looked at it, pouted, and said, "Huh? Is this the thing? Ginseng? We have a lot of such things in Luoshan Town, and we can't sell them for a few dollars. ”
Luoshan Town is a backing town under Pingchuan County, because the geographical environment is suitable for growing ginseng - it looks like a doll, so it is also called child ginseng, so the ginseng garden is all over the ground, and it is not rare to have more things, and the same is true for ginseng - dozens of gardens are planted with this thing, and when it is pulled, it is also a cart, and no one in the local area thinks that this thing is valuable.
"Hey, you don't understand this, this child ginseng in your hand weighs 6 taels, and it takes more than 500 years to grow so big!"
With a shake of his hand, he almost threw aside the ginseng in his hand, and Gu An's voice became unnatural, and he said:
"That'...... Isn't it worth a lot of money? ”
"There are always millions."
"Ah!!h
Gu An screamed, and then looked at the child ginseng in his hand stupidly, his mind went blank.
Seeing Gu An like this, Bao Fang was startled and said, "Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
As if he hadn't heard Bao Fang's words, Gu An smirked and said after a while:
"Hehehe...... This one...... Got rich......"
When Bao Fang saw it, he knew that he was playing big, so he hurriedly said, "Fifth brother, this kid is ...... It was planted in the garden. ”
"Planted in the garden? Planted for 500 years? ”
Gu An felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't turn around for a while.
"Ah...... This ......"
Looking at Bao Fang, who was speechless, Gu An finally came back to his senses, grabbed Bao Fang's collar, and said, "Didn't you just say that this child weighs 6 taels, and it will take 500 years to grow like this?" How could such a thing be grown in a garden? ”
"But this is indeed something from the garden, my cousin has been in the garden for an hour, do you know? This ginseng was dug out of the ground, and it looked relatively large, so he brought it back to show me a rarity. ”
"Smack!"
Gu An slapped Bao Fang's head fiercely, and then said loudly: "Grandma, use this thing to fool Lao Tzu, so that I thought I had made a fortune, looking for death!" ”
Bao Fang's cousin is called Guan Fei, who opened a small ginseng garden last year, less than 10 acres, and the location is not good, very remote, what good things can be produced there?
Bao Fang's neck shrank, this matter is his own fault, and he can't say anything.
"But this thing is a bit evil, two years ago I also worked in the ginseng garden for a period of time, I really haven't seen such a big child ginseng."
Gu An, who calmed down, looked at the ginseng as thick as a radish and felt that it was too incredible.
Pouting, Bao Fang said: "What's strange about this, you see how fast those yellow eels fed with birth control pills grow, can that thing have such speed in the field?" ”
The real wild ginseng has basically been dug up, and in order to meet the needs, there will naturally be people who will grow it, and it is normal to add a little fertilizer or something in the process to promote the growth of amazing size or something.
"Hey, you're right, there's nothing strange about such a big ginseng."
With a "snap" and threw the ginseng in his hand back into the bag, Gu An said: "It's a pity, if it really grows for 500 years, our brothers will make a fortune." ”
"Don't, fifth brother, although it's not a 500-year-old child's ginseng, it can still be sold for some money."
Shaking his head, Gu An said: "But it's only a hundred or dozen, and it takes the strength of the old cow's nose to do this, so I still concentrate on soliciting customers." ”
Tossing the bag back to the bagmaker, Gu An leaned against the iron railing again, his eyes fixed on the people walking past the station, to see which ones were suitable to start.
"Fifth brother, you don't have to think about this kid's ginseng for millions, it's always okay to sell it for a few thousand...... For example, those outsiders may be able to sell them if they fool around. ”
Gu An was stunned for a moment, pinched his chin and thought for a while, then finally nodded and said, "Don't say it, this thing may be possible." ”
The ginseng in the hand of the bao party is big enough, maybe some people really believe that it is a century-old ginseng or something, and there is no trouble in selling it to outsiders.
"Hey, hey, hey~ Fifth brother, you have a good mouth, so you have to start this matter, I beat the side drum, and after selling the money, let's add two to five, how about dividing it equally?"
Seeing that Gu An agreed, Bao Fang was also quite happy, this kind of thing has to be done by two people to sing a double reed, and they can't play it alone.
Luo Tian was holding more than a dozen tickets he had just bought. Three days ago, Jiang Tiesheng had a heart attack, and finally decided to stop all his work and return to Guanghai City.
There is only one way to leave, as when you came, you first take a car at Pingchuan County Washing Station, then change to a train after arriving in Zhanhua City, and then take a plane back to Guanghai City at the provincial capital - Jiangle Provincial Airport.
Out of the gate of the station, Luo Tian walked towards Fang Ru and the others who had gathered on the side.
"Got your ticket?"
Fang Ru saw Luo Tian coming over, and immediately greeted him.
Nodding, Luo Tian said, "Yes, Mr. Jiang, how do you feel?" If it's not comfortable, we'll be able to go another day. ”
In fact, after eating the Eight Poison Red Pills for three days, Luo Tian could no longer see the black qi in Jiang Tiesheng's heart, and he asked at this time for the sake of insurance.
"Heh, Mr. Luo, I don't think there's anything going on at all, and my spirit seems to be better than before."
Speaking of this, Jiang Tiesheng himself felt incredible, it stands to reason that it would be good to be able to save an old life if he had a heart attack at this age, and his body would definitely become extremely weak after that, but he felt that his spirit was stronger than before!
Improper treatment of a sudden heart attack will definitely cause great damage to the body, especially for older people, but after Luo Tian used witchcraft to treat it, coupled with the effect of the Eight Poison Red Pill to save the heart and protect the heart, it is not surprising that Jiang Tiesheng feels this way.
"Okay, then let's go into the station, the train will leave in half an hour."
Luo Tian said as he picked up the luggage on the ground.
"This ...... Do you want ginseng? ”
Luo Tian was stunned for a moment, straightened up and looked back, and found that Fang Ru didn't know when a person was standing next to him, not tall, a little thin, with messy hair like a chicken nest, wearing half-new ordinary clothes, and carrying a plastic bag in his hand.
