Chapter 50 Valuation
Daddy Gu also got straight to the point, "Brother Li, I won't tell you, the day before yesterday, Lao Wu and I went up the mountain to pick up firewood, and happened to dig up a ginseng plant, I was going to sell it, so I wanted to find you to see if I could sell it for a price?" But if you use it, you should keep it for you. ”
"Oh? And such a good thing? Then let Li open his eyes, and maybe he can help with the details. Li Langzhong heard that it was ginseng that also came to the spirit, thinking that if it was not big, he would buy it himself, and there were also some wealthy families in other villages who could use ginseng slices.
Father Gu carefully took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it, revealing the ginseng inside.
"Yikes! I've never seen ginseng in such good condition! You see this ginseng, the body is exquisite, the root shape is straight, the skin is old, the ginseng root is thick and straight, it is indeed a rare good ginseng. When Li Langzhong saw such a good ginseng, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself. Originally, he thought that it was at most a small mountain ginseng of more than ten years, but now it looks like it has been more than 80 years, and it is in such good condition, then he can't afford to buy it, and if it is not a rich family, he can't afford to use such ginseng.
"So this ginseng will definitely sell for a good price?" Father Gu was overjoyed, and then asked, "How much silver is it worth?" ”
"The quality of this ginseng is good, but ...... Alas! Li Langzhong touched the ginseng and sighed
Father Gu was anxious again when he heard Li Langzhong's unfinished words, "What's wrong?" But what's wrong? ”
"Oh! There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a pity, no matter how long it is, if it grows into a hundred years of ginseng, how good would it be? The money can definitely be doubled. Li Langzhong was anxious to see his father, so he came to his senses and explained.
"So how many years is this? I don't recognize how much silver I can sell? ”
"This one is more than 80 years old, and usually more than 80 years of ginseng can be worth three or four hundred silver, but this one is in good condition, maybe it can be sold more. It's a pity that if it's a hundred years, the silver will be doubled, and it can be sold for at least a thousand taels. Li Langzhong shook his head, and at the same time he was a little envious of Daddy Gu, why did he often go up the mountain to collect medicine, but he had never encountered ginseng, not even a few years of small ginseng. It seems that the fifth child of the Gu family is indeed blessed, he shifted his gaze from the ginseng, glanced at Gu Chengyu, and saw the little baby sitting on the chair in the hall, although the person's calves are short, but the sitting posture is upright, and the legs that can't reach the ground are not swaying blindly, Li Langzhong nodded, and his conduct is not bad. Suddenly, a thought sprouted in my heart, and then I shook my head, let's talk about it later!
"What? One thousand taels? "Daddy Gu swallowed his saliva, how many taels of silver is a thousand taels? He had never heard of a thousand taels, and he didn't even dare to think about it. However, Daddy Gu has no regrets, people can't be too greedy, this one can be sold for three or four hundred taels, which is already a lot, and three or four hundred taels can buy forty acres of good paddy fields.
Gu Chengyu sighed a little, who told him to take the wrong one?
Li Langzhong didn't blush or be annoyed when he heard Daddy Gu when he heard one thousand taels, and he also felt that Daddy Gu was not a greedy person.
"Brother Gu, this ginseng is too valuable, I generally look at rural farmers, even if there are some rich landlords, most of them are reluctant to spend this silver, you might as well sell it to the hospital, I believe the price should not be low."
"Oh! If Brother Li really doesn't need it, then I plan to go to Renhetang in the town in two days to have a look. "Daddy Gu didn't think about finding those small pharmacies, Shanhe Town is close to the Jingyuan River, and there are also some small docks. Shanhe Town is not small, and there are three or four small pharmacies, but Renhetang is the largest medical hall in the town, not only has a doctor sitting in the hall, but also has a complete range of medicinal materials.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and it was Yao Shi holding a tray of tea. I saw that he walked with a light gait, unhurried, and his hand holding the tray never moved. When they arrived, they gently put the tea in the tray on the table next to Gu Chengyu and them. The tea served by the Li family was not served in the farmer's sea bowl, but in a teapot and a Sancai bowl. Although the bowl and teapot are yellow-brown coarse porcelain, there are rockeries and green bamboos depicted in black, which has a bit of artistic conception. Then Yao took out a plate of mung bean cake from the tray and put it aside.
"Sir, please have some tea." Yao stood beside Li Langzhong and whispered.
"Brother Gu, this is just a coarse tea I bought in the town, if you don't dislike it, please try it." Li Langzhong put down the ginseng in his hand and beckoned Daddy Gu to drink tea. His own hand didn't move the tea bowl, Gu Chengyu knew that the ancients paid attention to drinking tea to send guests, if the host now holds up the teacup, it means that he doesn't want to treat guests, but wants to send guests.
"Not thirsty, not thirsty." Daddy Gu has always drunk sea bowls at home, when did he use a tea bowl that specializes in drinking tea? I'm a little embarrassed.
"Brother Gu is welcome, the mung bean cake on this table was bought by the insiders in the town, this is a sweet tooth, presumably the little baby likes it, give it to your little treasure to eat." Li Langzhong saw that Father Gu was uncomfortable, but he didn't force it.
Yao was surprised when he heard his father-in-law's words, glanced at Gu Chengyu, walked to Gu Chengyu's side, and pushed the mung bean cake on the table to him, "Your name is Xiaobao, right?" Do you like sweet mung bean cake? Taste it. Yao said as he looked Gu Chengyu up and down a few times.
Gu Chengyu was a little puzzled, why did he think that this Yao family's eyes were a little weird when he looked at him? It seemed that he was looking at something, but he and Yao had only met for the first time today.
"Thank you, auntie." Gu Chengyu was not polite, he wanted to taste the taste of this mung bean cake in ancient times. A piece of mung bean cake is in the shape of a small square, with simple patterns at the four corners, pick up one of them, take a bite, it may be that the sugar is expensive in ancient times, it is not very sweet, there is no oil added to it, the taste is not so delicate and soft when you bite it, it is a little dry, Gu Chengyu finished the small bite in his hand, and did not take the second piece, no way, it is too dry, I am afraid of choking.
"You're welcome, baby." Father Gu said Gu Chengyu with a smile, but he didn't stop it. Xiaobao has never eaten mung bean cake, for the Gu family, cloud cake is already the best pastry, this mung bean cake is in the town, and Daddy Gu has never bought it.
Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl on the table, picked up the lid of the bowl, gently scraped the tea leaves floating on it, took a sip of tea, and swallowed the residue in his mouth, which made him feel better. Fingers touched the material of the tea bowl in his hand, this coarse porcelain is smooth, and the bowl body is a little thick. There is some green tea floating in the bowl, the tea soup is a little dark yellow, the aroma is low, the taste is a little astringent, it is just a large leaf, it is indeed not a good tea, Gu Chengyu remembered that there are many good teas in his space, but they are all packaged, and if there is a chance, I still have to go up the mountain to transplant some wild tea into it, I believe that it will not be long before it will grow into a top-notch good tea in the space.
