336. Ginseng
Jinxiu said this not to mean that she had not seen ginseng, ginseng had seen, and when her sister-in-law gave birth to her first child, the family also bought some ginseng for preparation, and she saw it at that time, but it was one by one.
Where is the whole plant brought by the little aunt is so intuitive and shocking, the top is like a small human head, followed by a fatter and fatter body, and then it is divided into several branches, and there is a special feeling of being different when you look at it, no wonder it is called ginseng, and it looks like it really has the form of a human being.
And the little aunt brought back two plants at a time, but she had heard that ginseng was hard to find, one plant was very difficult to see, and these two strains were even more difficult.
My little aunt is so amazing! Jinxiu also looked at the little aunt starryly, and she didn't want to admire the little aunt.
Looking at the red cloth wrapped in ginseng, Jinxiu blessed his soul, "Little aunt, you won't go up the mountain specifically to find ginseng this time, right?" Otherwise, how could you be so comprehensive? Jinxiu pointed to the red cloth that wrapped the ginseng and the red thread that wrapped around the top of the ginseng.
Xiao Qi didn't intend to deny it, she nodded as soon as Jinxiu's words fell.
From Jinxiu's questioning, can you say that this girl is not smart? The main reason is that she is too lazy, and she usually doesn't want to use her brain, and only uses her brain a little bit about things she is interested in.
"Little aunt, can these two ginseng tell the year? I look at it a lot more than the ginseng that my mother bought before. ”
The ginseng on the red cloth does not look small, compared with the ginseng pieces bought at home, it is much thicker, and the roots of these two ginseng plants are also very thick.
Xiao Qi looked at Qi Qi's gaze at her, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, he thought about it in his mind, and began to explain to everyone how to identify the ginseng year.
"Actually, it's very simple, if you want to know the age of ginseng, you can see the iron thread on the stem and fruit of the ginseng and the color.
The thicker the ginseng stem, the denser and more dense the iron lines on the fruit, and the darker the color of the peel, which means that the longer the ginseng is aged. In addition, the roots of ginseng are very thin at first, and if the year gets longer and longer, the roots will become thicker and thicker, so you can judge from the roots. ”
"As for the two ginseng strains I picked, the stems are thick, and the iron lines on them are very dense, and the color of the peel has been dark yellow, and from the weight of the veins and colors, I infer that these two ginseng strains are not less than 100 years old."
"A hundred years?" Except for the old man, the big guys couldn't help but secretly exclaim, obedient! Just such a small thing, it has grown for a hundred years, how much silver is it worth, everyone looked at the two ginseng plants on the red cloth in disbelief.
The big guy's reaction was expected by Xiao Qi, not to mention the big guy, wasn't she also surprised when she just discovered ginseng?
Or is grandpa the most calm, and the person who can really achieve the position of deputy general, can he be an ordinary person?
Old man: ...... Can he say he's thrilled too? It's just that the control is a little stronger than the average person.
No matter how excited everyone was, Xiao Qi continued: "Grandpa, mother, these two ginseng plants, one of them I want to give to Grandpa Cui, do you say okay?" ”
As soon as the old man heard that his granddaughter was talking about Dr. Cui in the town, he nodded without thinking, what could he not do?
Not to mention Dr. Cui's medical ethics and medical skills are among the best in the entire Haze Town, just because his granddaughter has troubled Dr. Cui in the past few years, and he has learned a lot of medical skills with Dr. Cui without spending a penny, not to mention that one ginseng plant is all sent over to the two.
Wei nodded without hesitation after following the old man, this Dr. Cui is also his daughter's master, and the apprentice should be filial to the master.
Besides, this ginseng was originally obtained by her daughter, and her daughter can distribute it however she wants.
The old man said to his granddaughter in a slightly old voice: "Over the years, Dr. Cui has taught you unreservedly, and it is right to give it to Dr. Cui, besides, this ginseng was dug up by you, and it is up to you to decide where they come from, and no one will say anything." ”
When he said the latter sentence, the old man looked at the Qingshan couple.
The old man's back glance made the couple laugh and cry, as if they were wicked people.
Qingshan hurriedly smiled and said: "Grandpa, mother, don't worry, the little sister's things are naturally in charge of the little sister, we have no objection to these, and I don't think our family can use this thing, our family's body is very good, it is better to leave it to useful people." ”
Xianggong's words made Wang nod after him, "Grandpa, mother, what Xianggong said is what I want to say." "The little sister has grown up with her, and she is the same as her own daughter, she usually has too late to hurt, how can she do something against the will of the little sister.
Besides, the little sister is the lucky star of the family, everything in the family is changed after the birth of the little sister, without the little sister, where is there such a delicious honey tea, where can the little sister eat so much mountain delicacies.
Who in the village has drunk tiger bone soup, eaten bear's paws, eaten venison, and even eaten bird's nest like her, but the bird's nest was sent over during the New Year's Festival.
Most of these are thanks to the little sister, the little sister is a veritable lucky star in the Lu family, she is too late to be a sister-in-law's pet, how can she pull the little sister's hind legs?
The words of the brother and sister-in-law made Xiao Qi smile at them.
This is the family she wants to protect in this life, she will not be confused by the immediate interests, and she will love and protect her wholeheartedly.
At the same time, her smile made Wang, who was looking at her, stunned.
Xiao Qi turned his face indifferently, as if he was very accustomed to the situation in front of him.
Since she grew up, her smile would make several people, including her niece and daughter-in-law, stunned at every turn, so that she grew up to control the frequency of her laughter.
Since the family didn't have any opinions, Xiao Qi's previous red cloth was divided into two, and the two ginseng plants were wrapped up respectively and put back into the bag.
"Mother, the ginseng will be handed over to you after I have concocted it, and it will be no problem no matter how long it is put at that time."
Hearing this, Wei nodded hurriedly.
My daughter is right, this is a good thing, it can't be wasted, it should be concocted, and the things that have been obtained so hard can't lose the medicinal properties.
The rest of the time is for Xiao Qi to answer everyone's questions and explain the experience of the past two days on the mountain.
On the other side, Qiu Jing put the sika deer in the stable, and put the pheasant hunted by Xiao Qi by the kitchen, ready to go home to see.
If he hadn't worried about Xiao Qi in the past two days, he wouldn't have been ready to go out in the past few days.
Because Xiaobai's due date is approaching, yes, Xiaobai is pregnant with a foal again, and it looks like it's only a few days.
Qiu Jing quickly left the Lu family and entered the house next door.
As soon as I entered the yard, I walked towards the stable in the backyard, and before I reached the stable, I smelled a very faint fishy smell.
This familiar smell made Qiu Jing speed up his feet.
Sure enough, Xiaobai walked around a little restlessly in the stable, and Xiaobai had broken amniotic fluid on the ground.
It seemed that it had just begun, Qiu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and it was not too late to come back.
Seeing the familiar master, Xiaobai's mood settled down a little, and he slowly paced to the grass pile next to the stable and lay down.
Qiu Jing hurriedly opened the door of the stable and walked in, squatting on Xiaobai's side to observe carefully.
Xiaobai has become more and more human over the years, and knows that the master comes in to help him, so he doesn't have any overreactions.
Qiu Jing gently put his hand on Xiaobai's belly, and could clearly feel the squirming of the foal in his stomach, and it seemed that it would not be long before the foal was about to give birth.
