Chapter Twenty-Four: Special Emotions
Wang Xiao was moved by Li Baoping's words, and she looked at Li Baoping with strange eyes along the way.
Of course, that's just a matter of caution.
The two of them walked and played along the way, but they didn't see the valuable prey.
But like the hares, the wild ducks, this is a lot of hunting.
Just as the two of them were walking forward, at a casual glance, Wang Xiao actually saw a large amount of ginseng on the ground. Although the ginseng is not very old, it can be sold for a good price.
"What are you doing with your bare hands?" Li Baoping stared at Wang Xiao in surprise.
Wang Xiao raised his head and gave him a blank look: "Do you know what this is?" These are valuable treasures! Let me tell you, just like this, with a little red fruit on your head, you can help me dig it out. You have to be careful and careful, if you give ginseng and break it, it will not be worth much. ”
Wang Xiao sighed in her heart as she spoke, knowing that she should have brought more tools that could be used.
Now, if she is not careful, the ginseng will be dug up. If it's ruined, it's worthless.
But Li Baoping on the side was amused by Wang Xiao's words, but Li Baoping still respected Wang Xiao's words, he leaned down and dug carefully, and complained while digging him: "Even I have never seen ginseng, how do you know it?" Isn't this just an ordinary weed, how did it become ginseng in your mouth? ”
Even if this ginseng is short, it is still valuable in this poor and remote country.
What Li Baoping said is true, he has indeed never seen ginseng.
This kind of high-quality medicinal materials, even if some people are terminally ill and sell iron, they can't afford to use a plant. Ordinary people don't even dare to think about it.
Wang Xiao smiled embarrassedly, and snorted hahaha: "Isn't that that why we had medical books at home before, and we can't see pigs run if we haven't eaten pork, if we dig it out, it's ginseng." Oops, stop talking nonsense. If this is ginseng, you can replace it with two catties of pork ribs, so why not do it. ”
In Li Baoping's heart, he was skeptical of what Wang Xiao said.
Even though he knew that he should unconditionally believe Wang Xiao's words, when he thought that Wang Xiao did not leave the door of his house on weekdays, he was still low even if he talked to his neighbors. How could she know ginseng?
In the time he was repeatedly entangled, Wang Xiao had already dug up a ginseng plant.
Wang Xiao sat on the ground holding the ginseng, and couldn't help himself with joy.
She underestimated the age of this ginseng, at least it had to be more than five years old.
Wang Xiao helped Li Baoping dig out another ginseng plant, but when Li Baoping wanted to continue, he was stopped by Wang Xiao.
"Can you remember this place?" Wang Xiao looked at Li Baoping with a mysterious expression and asked.
Li Baoping looked at Wang Xiao in surprise and said, "Didn't you say that it was ginseng, which could be exchanged for silver, why didn't you let it be dug up?" And why ask me if I remember this place, this mountain, every inch of land I am familiar with. You can find your way home with your eyes closed. ”
Wang Xiao nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
"There's no need to keep digging, these two ginseng strains are enough for us to eat meat for a month." She patted her chest confidently.
Those two ginseng plants were weeds in Li Baoping's eyes, but they were held in Wang Xiao's arms as if they were treasures.
Li Baoping wanted to continue hunting, but Wang Xiao said that he wouldn't let him continue, so he insisted on dragging Li Baoping back.
"Let me tell you, with these two strains of ginseng, after I go back, I really don't have to worry about eating for a month, you, just look at it." After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he smiled at Li Baoping with satisfaction.
Counting it, that little ginseng can be sold for ten cents a tael.
In the past five years, there have been years of ginseng, what's the matter, it has to be a tael of silver, right?
This kind of rarity must be hard to find outside.
Otherwise, this ginseng would not have grown so big in this mountain.
Calculate that these two ginseng strains can also be worth more than one tael, so they can also be exchanged for more than one or two silver.
If she went to Liu Zhiheng to sell ginseng, Liu Zhiheng would not dare to fool her casually.
Thinking about it, Wang Xiao's heart became more and more proud.
The afterglow of the setting sun was reflected on Wang Xiao's side face, and her sallow face actually made Li Baoping feel that she was also fair-skinned and lovely, with small eyebrows and small eyes, but now the more she looks at it, the more pleasing it is.
After all, from the very beginning, in Li Baoping's mind, he never disliked Wang Xiao's background and appearance.
"What's wrong?" Wang Xiao came back to her senses and noticed that Li Baoping was looking at her, and Wang Xiao's little face turned red.
"It's nothing, I just think you're so good-looking."
"Get out of the way, man's mouth, liar!"
Wang Xiao was a little embarrassed, and could only use violence to hide his true inner emotions.
In fact, Wang Xiao knows her appearance, and she didn't care about her appearance at the beginning, but she is about to run out of food, can she still care about whether she is good-looking or not?
Thinking of this, and thinking of Fang Cai, Li Baoping said in her ear, she is so good-looking.
Isn't that a lie?
Li Baoping coughed dryly.
"I really think you're good-looking."
"Oh, if you don't say it, I think I'm pretty too." After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he pinned his head to the side a little unnaturally, trying not to let Li Baoping see her blushing face.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the two returned home with a long list of prey in their hands.
Li Baozhen sat on the steps at the gate early in the morning, looking forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for the two of them to come back.
As soon as he saw the rabbit that Li Baoping was carrying, Li Baozhen instantly jumped three feet high as if he had blown up: "Brother, aren't you?" Do you want to bring back this rabbit and eat it yourself? ”
Li Baoping looked at Li Baozhen and then at Wang Xiao: "This, I said it doesn't count." ”
Wang Xiao tugged at Li Baozhen's clothes and motioned for him to sit down.
"Wouldn't we keep the rabbit for us to eat, and then take the skin to the town and sell it when we're done?" Wang Xiao thought that this Li Baozhen was a sissy, and he had to tell her why the rabbit was so cute that she couldn't eat the rabbit.
Unexpectedly, Li Baozhen put her hands around her chest and snorted coldly: "This can also be eaten?" The rabbit meat my brother made last time didn't even clean the rabbit hair, but the rabbit skin was as hard to bite as cowhide, and I almost lost my teeth when I bit it. ”
Listening to Li Baozhen's words, Wang Xiao really couldn't help but laugh out loud.
However, if you don't skin the rabbit, it's really hard to swallow.
