018, looking for old ginseng (3)
When the danger was lifted, Liu Jiaojiao immediately ran over and squatted down, took out tools from the back basket, and carefully began to dig ginseng.
Liu Jun asked curiously, "Jiaojiao, what kind of medicinal herb is this?" "It makes her so excited.
Liu Jiaojiao replied wholeheartedly: "This is ginseng, if I didn't miscalculate, it should be a hundred years." ”
Liu Jun's eyes widened in surprise, oh my God, a hundred-year-old ginseng?!
Yesterday, I dug up a hundred-year-old He Shou Wu, and today I dug up a hundred-year-old ginseng, my sister is simply amazing! It is worthy of being dreamed of by the gods!
"Jiaojiao, the old people in the village all said that people must be tied with a red rope to prevent it from escaping, why do you dig it directly? Aren't you afraid that it will run? After all, he was only sixteen years old, and he was still a little young, so after being surprised, he squatted beside Liu Jiaojiao and looked at it curiously.
Liu Jiaojiao said with a smile: "Tie the red rope is actually not afraid of the ginseng running away, because the place where it grows is often remote, overgrown with weeds, and the ginseng that is not old enough cannot afford to sell at a high price, so the ginseng pickers will use the red rope to surround the ginseng they found, first, to facilitate the next time, and second, to tell others that this ginseng has an owner." ”
"I see, Jiaojiao, you know so much."
Liu Jiaojiao smiled a little embarrassedly, if it weren't for the golden finger of the system, how would she understand this? But she can't let anything know about the existence of the system, so she can only admit it cheekily.
Fortunately, she is a skillful person, otherwise even if some systems tell her how to collect ginseng, it is estimated that she will not be able to dig out this old ginseng completely without retaining the intact roots.
This is a meticulous job, so she has been concentrating and careful, and it took two sticks of incense to dig up the whole ginseng recipe thoroughly.
She took out a piece of clean cotton cloth prepared before going out from the back basket, beat it with water and wrung it out, wrapped the ginseng that was not easy to clean with a cotton cloth, and then put a layer of weeds growing near the ginseng at the bottom of the back basket, and then put the wrapped ginseng on it.
Seeing that Liu Jun was a little puzzled, she explained: "You must wrap it in S cloth to ensure the freshness of the ginseng, and it stands to reason that it should be cleaned, but I was afraid that I would hurt it clumsily, so I had to leave it like this for the time being, and let Grandpa Lei deal with it when I arrived at Bohol Hall, he must be better than me." ”
Only then did Liu Jun understand, nodded and said, "Lei Dong's family has opened a pharmacy for so many years, so he must understand." But......" he looked at Liu Jiaojiao with some words to stop, "Are you still giving this old ginseng for free?" ”
The corners of Liu Jiaojiao's mouth twitched suddenly, and she shook her head firmly: "Don't send it!" It must be sold at a high price! Otherwise, it's a big loss! ”
"But this is much more valuable than He Shou Wu, right? Who of us can afford it? ”
"If we can't sell it, we'll keep it, this is a first-class good thing, who knows if we will use it in the future?"
Liu Jun nodded, feeling that what her sister said was very reasonable, this is a treasure, even if it can't be sold, it is excellent to keep it for her sister as a dowry in the future, which is much stronger than those cheesy gold and silver treasures.
After completing the task, Liu Jiaojiao was in a good mood, and she didn't care that the complaining system was not online, so she asked Liu Jun to put away the body of the red chain snake, and then pulled him back.
On the way here, she found a lot of good herbs, and quickly dug them up so that they could be sold in the town for money.
Liu Jun didn't know how to dig herbs, Liu Jiaojiao wanted to teach him but was rejected by him, bluntly saying that he was rude, afraid that he would hurt the stems and leaves of the herbs if he didn't master the strength well, Liu Jiaojiao had to dig up the herbs by herself, and Liu Jun stayed aside, responsible for putting the herbs she dug out in the back basket one by one.
One is responsible for digging, the other is responsible for loading, and the cooperation is particularly tacit, and before you know it, a back basket is full.
Seeing that her sister's forehead was full of sweat, Liu Jun took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat in distress, and said in a low voice, "You can rest for a while." ”
Liu Jiaojiao glanced at the fruits of her labor, and after silently calculating the amount of money she could sell in her heart, she said with some frustration: "These herbs look a lot, but most of them are worthless, and they can't be sold for much silver. ”
Liu Jun couldn't help but smile: "If He Shou Wu and ginseng were so easy to dig up, they wouldn't be so expensive." You've seen too many good things, so you can't look at ordinary things. Take yesterday as an example, those medicinal herbs that you thought were worthless, the money you sold was worth two or three months' income for a family in the village. ”
Four taels of silver is probably equal to more than 4,000 yuan in modern times, and Liu Jiaojiao, who has an annual salary of hundreds of thousands in modern times, really can't look down on it, but after all, the original owner is just an ordinary peasant girl now, so it's better to keep a low profile.
Pretending to be naughty, she spat out her head, and said with a smile: "Who would have too much money for this thing?" ”
Liu Jun was amused by her appearance as a fan of money, and couldn't help but raise her head and rub her hair, and said funny: "Then let's dig more, sell more money, and make your dowry thicker." ”
Liu Jiaojiao bared her teeth at him and threatened, "I'm only ten years old, okay?" It's you who should talk about marriage! ”
The smile on Liu Jun's face disappeared instantly, and he shook his head and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I'll talk about it after you get married." ”
"I will never marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and I have a high vision, I can't look down on ordinary people at all, so brother, you better think about yourself first, besides, maybe I won't marry for the rest of my life? Will you never marry a wife for the rest of your life? ”
As a modern person, she resolutely does not accept marriage at such a young age, and refuses to marry blindly and dumbly, not to mention that she has seen too many deaths and deaths of love when she is in love, but after marriage, she was destroyed by reality and had different dreams in the same bed, and finally divorced hastily and tore up the war, so she is not looking forward to love and marriage.
Liu Jun didn't expect her to have such a thought, and after being slightly stunned, she patted her head angrily and reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, how can a girl not marry?" Don't worry, I won't let you marry blindly, if you don't want to, no one will want to force you, brother promises you! ”
This topic can't continue, although the little brother is quite sister-controlled, but after all, the gap between the two people's thoughts is too big, and they both have their own positions and bottom lines, and no one wants to convince anyone.
Liu Jiaojiao deliberately stretched her waist, moved her body and neck again, and deliberately pointed to her right hand and said loudly: "Ah, I saw Sanqi!" ”
After saying that, he quickly ran over, squatted down and began to dig.
Liu Jun saw that she was deliberately changing the topic, so she didn't say anything, but smiled helplessly, and lifted another empty basket to help.
By the time the two baskets were full and the sun was in the west, it was already midday (around two o'clock in the afternoon).
I still have to go to the town to sell herbs and process old ginseng, and it takes four or five hours to go back and forth, so wouldn't I have to go home in the middle of the night?
No, when you make enough money, you must buy a carriage, otherwise you will be tired and waste time tossing back and forth. Liu Jiaojiao secretly decided in her heart.
"Jiaojiao, let's go down the mountain first, and then let Grandpa Li drive the ox cart to take us to the town." Liu Jun said.
Liu Jiaojiao looked at him in surprise and asked, "Grandpa Li's house has an ox cart?" His family is so good? "Isn't it said that there are lonely old people who have no children and no daughters?
Liu Jun explained: "Grandpa Li came to the village twenty years ago, and no one knew what he did before, and he didn't say anything, but I heard that the prefect personally sent someone to escort him, and he also told the village chief to take good care of him, and the house and land he lived in were specially prepared for him by the previous village chief." He gave the land to the villagers, and he had not done anything all these years, but he had never seen him lack silver. His family's ox cart was bought a few years ago, saying that he was old enough to use it for transportation, and the villagers didn't give him anything they wanted to rent, preferring to be idle. ”
Hey, it sounds like a hermit with an identity, but I really didn't expect that the amiable-looking old man still has a background.
"If the people in the village want to rent it, he won't rent it, can he let us use it?" Liu Jiaojiao was a little worried.
Liu Jun smiled indifferently, "He told me before to let me go to him if I want to use the ox cart, but I don't want to trouble him, that day you fell into the water it was Grandpa Li who drove the ox cart to take me to the town to find a doctor, but it just so happened that the doctors were all on call, so I could only come back alone." ”
It sounds like Lao Li Tou has always looked at Liu Jun quite differently, but the two are not related to each other for no reason, and she doesn't believe that there is a good thing in this world for no reason.
Secretly a little vigilant, she nodded and said, "Then let's go back now, if there is an ox cart, we should be able to come back before dark." ”
The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, if that old Li Tou has any bad intentions for Liu Jun, she will definitely let him not eat and walk around!
