Chapter 17 Ginger is still old and spicy
The next morning, Old Man Sun asked his little grandson, the little boy with a small pink face and a rather well-behaved and agile eyebrow, to go out for a run—or to ask for someone.
This time, four village elders over 100 years old were invited.
Originally, there were five people to be invited. The one who didn't come, it is said that at Wang Yidao's celebration last night, he and Zhao Xiaoyi didn't agree and started a drink. The two of them were carried home after overturning two jars of rice wine.
At this point, Zhao Xiaowu didn't wake up from drinking, I don't know. Anyway, the old gentleman is sleeping and snoring all over now, so he can't invite him.
The eldest of the four who came was about to celebrate his 210th birthday in two months. The youngest was one hundred and thirty years old.
This place is a place where people tend to live a long life. As long as you don't deliberately abuse your body, it is easy to live to be one hundred and seventy, eighty, or two hundred years old.
But then again, longevity is one thing, after all, people live so long, and their legs and feet will eventually be disadvantaged. It took two hours for the little boy to go out and come back in a circle, and the last old gentleman staggered to the scene!
In the outer hall, after making tea for the four old men sitting around the square table, Old Man Sun carefully took out the ambergris from the inner room, ready to ask them to identify it.
After all, human life is at stake, and there must be no sloppiness. It doesn't hurt to eat well, or if you don't eat well, it's fine. In the event of a human life, whose responsibility is this? This is what Old Man Sun said.
"Oh, what do you mean, if we get it wrong, then the blame falls on us?" an old man quipped.
"It's not like that! You four elders, that's the most respected people in the whole village! With so much experience and so much knowledge, how can we younger generations be able to do it? I invited you here this time just to ask for an idea, and if you don't speak, no one will dare to make an assertion, right?" Old man Sun looked like he was in his seventies, and he called himself a junior in front of the four elders, which was true. The key is that his "highly respected", "extensive experience" and "knowledgeable" tall hats are obviously extremely useful for the four old men to wear!
The four old men nodded frequently, posed in various shapes, and began to identify.
During this period, Old Man Sun has been standing aside in a regular manner, silent.
"Tut-tut...... As the name suggests, it is a grass that is stained with the saliva of a real dragon, and the leaves have dragon patterns, which is quite magical, and it is said that it can cure all kinds of diseases and prolong people's lives, and it is a fairy grass! If you look closely, it really looks like that, you see between the leaves, the dragons are staggered, vivid...... In this way, it seems that there is nothing wrong...... But the problem is that a few of us have only heard of this grass, but we have never seen it with our own eyes, so it is difficult to say......"
You say you haven't seen it, you don't know if it's true or not, isn't it over?
The corners of Old Man Sun's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.
"Actually, it's simple—" After thinking about it, an old man said, "Go and catch a chicken, get it half dead first, and then feed it a leaf, and see if it can live?" ”
The other three elders stroked their palms and said yes.
What a good idea! Why didn't I think of such a simple method? And the best thing about this method is that if the chickens that are used for experiments don't survive, then can't I add more vegetables at noon?
Thinking so, they all threw approving glances at the old man who came up with the idea.
"Knock" is a soft sound, which one is swallowing saliva?
Of course, his old man Sun is not good at stubble, he is a shrewd master who seems to be able to sniff people's minds with his nose!
Under the observation of words and expressions, how could he not know about the little ninety-nine that he beat in the heart of the fourth old man?
"No, no! So, if it's really ambergris, wouldn't it be bad?" he coughed lightly.
"It's okay...... Anyway...... This ambergris is an immortal seed, one leaf can live a person, this plant has several leaves, enough to save people...... If you think that the chicken is cheaper because of this, then kill it immediately, and eat its meat to nourish your body. If the grass is ineffective or poisonous, it is not tight, and it is discarded, as for the chickens...... Remove the internal organs, drain the blood, and eat the chicken alone...... It can be regarded as a well-deserved death, and everything is used to the fullest. Among the four elders, the eldest said.
This understatement, slowly speaking, made the other three elders suddenly awe-inspired.
Ginger is still old and spicy! The real ruthless corner is here!
