Chapter 44: Ginseng

Gu Chengyu was afraid that Daddy Gu would tear off the roots of the ginseng with his thick hands, so he hurriedly ordered: "Dad, this valuable thing is the root below, don't tear it off, let's dig gently, when digging closer, you can't use a sickle, you have to use a hand planer, digging this thing can be fine, otherwise it won't be worth it!" ”

As soon as Father Gu heard that it would be worthless, he immediately stopped the sickle in his hand and switched to hand planing. The two of them planed for about a quarter of an hour, and the thick body of the ginseng was already half-hidden and half-exposed, and the ginseng reed and ginseng bowl could be seen on it, Gu Chengyu's hand was stunned, hey? Got the wrong one? I wanted to take that ginseng for more than 100 years! Now this one is only more than 80 years old, I didn't pay attention to it at the time, and I saw that this one was almost pulled out, who knew that it was smaller! Forget it, if it's wrong, I have to be wrong, I just don't know if it's worth it, if it's not worth it, and honeysuckle, Gu Chengyu is annoyed.

It seems that there are many opportunities to make a fortune in the depths of this dense forest! The deeper he goes, where no one goes, the more valuable species will be, and he is now cultivating his internal strength, and when he learns the moves, he won't have to worry about beasts.

Gu Chengyu and Daddy Gu finally dug out the ginseng, carefully pulled out the remaining ginseng from the soil, and presented a complete ginseng tree in front of Daddy Gu.

"This? This is ......" Father Gu asked with a trembling voice as he carefully held the ginseng in both hands.

"Isn't this ginseng? I've seen it, seven or eight years ago, Zhang Gou'er at the end of the village dug it up, and most people in the village have seen it! He also sold it at the drugstore, guess how much he sold? Sold for thirteen taels of silver! This one is much bigger than that one, Xiaobao, we can make a lot of money, and we can always sell it for a few dozen taels of silver, right? ”

Gu Chengyu couldn't cry or laugh, he could only sell a few dozen taels for a long time? Could it be that ancient ginseng was not worth much and could be wholesaled? This is an authentic wild ginseng! Let's take a look! A few dozen taels can also solve the problems at home, and then find a way.

"Dad, let's put him in the back basket first, cut some pigweed to cover it, and come to pick honeysuckle after dinner!"

"Hey~ yes, hide it quickly, if you let the village see it, it will not be good, and the wealth will not be exposed." Gu Daddy put a layer of hand-picked leaves in the back basket, put the ginseng in it, and quickly cut the pigweed, Gu Chengyu put the pigweed into the back basket, the two of them were quick with their hands and feet, or they filled the back basket in a quarter of an hour, and they didn't compact, for fear of crushing the ginseng.

The two walked down the mountain one after another, and Gu's father forced a smile all the way, for fear that others would see that there was ginseng in his back basket, and when he saw someone on the way, he only hurriedly said hello, so he took Gu Chengyu back to Gu's house.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and it was about the hour, Gu Chengli and Gu Chengyi, who were working in the fields, had already returned, and everyone was waiting for Daddy Gu to come back for dinner.

As soon as Daddy Gu put down the basket, Gu Chengli was about to pick it up, but Daddy Gu blocked it back with his hand, and Gu Chengli was a little confused.

"Ahem, boss, I'll do it! This grass will be fed to the pigs for a while, and it will be put here first. Breakfast first, I have something to say. Daddy Gu put the back basket on the outside of the main house, and everyone was still a little puzzled, why did the pigweed still put it in the house?

Lu Shi looked at the back basket and his eyes lit up, could it be that the baby was in the back basket? asked Daddy Gu with his eyes, but Daddy Gu didn't look at him at all, and sat on the edge of the kang by himself. Gu's family meals are generally in the main room, with two tables, one table on the top and one side leaning against the kang, on which sit Gu's father, the Lu family and the Gu family brothers. Seeing that Father Gu was silent, Lu Shi couldn't help but be disappointed, could it be that he didn't find the baby?

Da Lang came back with Erlang and San Lang when they were setting the table, and they also went to pick up firewood, and the Gu family used a lot of firewood every day, all of which relied on going to the mountains to pick up dead branches or cut some branches, and when they came back, they were sweating profusely and their faces were red. Da Lang works hard, he is eleven years old and a half years old, and he is also like a big girl, very thin, looks very similar to the eldest brother, and the firewood on his back is taller than his body, Gu Chengyu looked a little guilty, he shouldn't ignore this hard-working honest child, and the big girl.

Erlang also helped Dalang drag firewood behind him, and Saburo followed behind with his hands in his hands. Erlang's temperament is somewhat similar to that of the second brother, and he is also diligent; And San Lang is quite similar to He Shi, he likes to be lazy, but he has no brains, and it is easy to leave the impression that he is lazy, but maybe he doesn't care. Snorting all day long and going out to play crazy, this is very similar to Han Wazi.

Gu Chengyu walked over to help, but he didn't want to be preempted by Gu Chengli, and smiled slightly, although the eldest brother was wooden, he was good to Da Lang, and it was not bad for these girls.

Back in the main house, the Lu family had already divided the table for the meal, and Da Lang and they were all little babies, and they had always sat at the same table with the He family.

"Everybody sit down, I have something to say. This morning, Xiaobao and I went up the mountain to hunt pigweed, and we saw a large patch of honeysuckle on the mountain. Xiaobao said that he had seen it at Li Langzhong's house. It is said that this can be taken to a pharmacy to sell for money. After today's dinner, let's pick it early, remember, don't go to the village to talk nonsense, otherwise someone else will pick it. "Daddy Gu told him about honeysuckle, but he still has to think about ginseng.

The second family likes to mess around all day long, and there has never been a door on the mouth, and the ginseng has not been sold by then! It was all over the village. It's better to wait until I go to the pharmacy to sell it, but I don't know how much silver it's worth.

"Ouch hey! It's true? Is honeysuckle worth anything? Uncle He, have you really seen it? "He couldn't help it at first, finally the family can make a living? The rest of the Gu family also paid attention to Gu Chengyu's body, looking anxious, the Gu family needs money now!

Gu Chengyi was quite skeptical, "Xiaobao, can you see clearly?" Don't admit that you are wrong, if you pick it back and the pharmacy doesn't accept it, isn't it in vain? ”

"Second brother, it's true, I can see it clearly." No matter what, even if the pharmacy of this dynasty does not use honeysuckle, but the medicinal effect of honeysuckle is real, and you can always think of a way to let the pharmacy accept it.

The Lu family was also very pleased, "Xiaobao, have you really seen the medicinal materials of Li Langzhong's family?" Is it really worth it? Then let's have an overnight dinner and hurry up. Even if our family is at the entrance of the village, we have to bypass most of the villages in the mountains to go to the mountains, and it is inevitable that there will be trouble when we are seen by others, so we can only go later. ”

After speaking, he seemed to think of something, "Second brother, you keep my mouth shut, if you let me know that you go out and be foolish, be careful of your skin." "The Lu family has already decided to clean up the two of them in the future, otherwise won't they be even more uncontrollable in the future? Now that his Xiaobao has a way to make money, she will naturally not let go of this opportunity and drop the number of the second family.

"Mother, the flowers have to be dried when they are picked, and four or five catties can be dried to one catty! I don't know how much I can pick, and how much it costs. Gu Chengyu was also a little apprehensive, afraid that this honeysuckle was everywhere, and it would be worthless.

"Mother knows, my little treasure will make money at such a young age!" Lu Shi looked at his son's face full of pride, and kept giving Gu Chengyu vegetables, which made Gu Chengyu look embarrassed. I have to say that sometimes he also thinks that the Lu family is quite partial, and he treats him better than the third brother and them.

Gu Chengyu buried his head in the paste, and suddenly felt a gaze fall on him. When he looked up, it was the eldest girl, Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, in his impression, the eldest girl was black and thin, with her head down all day, silent, and she might not be able to say two words a day. But at this time, those dark eyes were staring at him, and when he saw Gu Chengyu also looking at her, he quickly moved away, lowered his head, and ate the nest.

Gu Chengyu found out that the big girl's eyes were very good-looking, big and round, a little like Gu's father. If you get fatter, you can't reach the beauty, maybe you are still a beautiful little beauty. In this way, it seems that the big girl is an autistic child.,You have to pay attention to this in the future.,Turn the temperament over.。

"Alright, let's eat quickly! If you eat it, you have to go to the ground. Daddy Gu's voice pulled back Gu Chengyu's thoughts that were gradually drifting away, and after glancing at Daddy Gu, he could also guess Daddy Gu's intention of not telling the ginseng. I just don't know how he is going to sell it.
