Chapter 181: Liu Tuotou
The next day, we got up early, had breakfast, and boarded the train to Fusong. There was nothing to say all the way, and when I arrived in Fusong, it was already afternoon. When I got out of the station, I found that it was the largest ginseng trading market, and there were ginseng businesses everywhere.
We found a hotel to stay, ate a bite to eat, and casually visited the ginseng market. I walked around until the evening, and after seeing hundreds of ginsengs, there was nothing satisfying. Most of these ginseng are grown, and the largest is not more than ten years old. Although the body is plump, the effect is not the same.
It seems that we can only hope that Liu will be the leader, he has dealt with ginseng all his life, and it is estimated that he can get us one. Since there is no gain, we plan to go back first and go to Liu again tomorrow.
When we were about to arrive at the hotel, I overheard Roy say, "Lu, have you noticed that those bats seem to be following us all along?" ”
I was horrified, and when I looked up, I saw a few bats in the sky loitering above us. Kaka also glanced at it and said, "This season, there are bats everywhere, nothing unusual." ”
Roy frowned and said, "No, these bats have been following us since we got out of the car during the day, and they have been like this until now. I don't think there's anyone doing it, but I think it's better to be careful. ”
I thought for a moment and said, "Roy, is that vampire baron here?" ”
Roy snorted hard, shook his head, and said, "It shouldn't be him, if it was him, I would have smelled him a long time ago." ”
"Who could that be? Aside from vampires, we don't seem to know anyone else who keeps bats, huh? ”
I glanced at the bats hovering overhead, and couldn't tell if it was the one hanging outside my window that day. I thought about him, no matter who was doing the trick, as long as I found out, he would be happy.
That night, Roy and I slept in the same room, and we were able to take care of it. But I was not disturbed in any way, and I didn't say anything for the night. The next morning, after breakfast, everyone walked towards the suburbs. Liu Jiangtou does not live in the city, but still lives in his hometown in the countryside. This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, but it is also a very beautiful place.
According to the address given by Grandpa Situ, I inquired all the way, and finally found Liu Jiaotou's house. A typical farmhouse courtyard, with a low courtyard wall covered with roses, is in full bloom at this time. The courtyard door was closed, and we knocked on the door, only to hear footsteps inside, and a voice asked, "Who?" ”
"Hello, is Liu at home?"
The door was opened by a young man, in his twenties, not very tall, but very strong. When he saw so many of us, he was stunned, obviously not knowing what the situation was. Situ hurriedly stepped forward to explain, and the young man listened, and then suddenly realized.
"Oh! You're looking for my grandfather, come in! Emma was so surprised that I thought you were here to trouble me. ”
The young man enthusiastically gave us out of the house, only to see that the room was very spacious, a large ceiling fan was whirring overhead, and an old man wearing a white sweatshirt and shorts was lying on a rattan chair for a nap. When I opened my eyes when I heard the movement, I was also stunned when I saw so many of us.
The young man said, "Master! This is to collect ginseng. ”
"Oh, collect ginseng, but it's not time yet, wow, good ginseng will have to be dug in another two or three months, you guys are early."
Situ hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Liu, do you still know me, my grandfather Lao Situ, do you remember?" ”
"What? Are you the grandson of old Situ? Are you Xiaochun? ”
"Uh-huh, that's me!"
When Liu heard this, he slapped his thigh and shouted, "Oh mom! This kid has grown so big! I remember the last time I saw you, you were only two or three years old, and you have grown so old after so many years. How do you know that I live here, did your old Situ let you come to see me? ”
"Enna, yes!" Situ said, "My grandfather is not in good health and can't walk so far, let me come and see you!" It just so happened that a friend of mine was looking for a ginseng, so I brought them along! ”
Liu turned his head and said: "It's not easy to say ginseng, so I grow this at home." Don't be busy, have you eaten? Knives, hurry up and go grocery shopping, call your mother back to cook, and say that there are guests at home! ”
The knife is Liu Jiaotou's grandson, who heard it at this time, hurriedly agreed, turned his head and ran out. Liu poured water while giving us a seat, although the house was not small, but the seven of us sat down, and it suddenly seemed full. We didn't come empty-handed, put our gifts aside, and went around.
After a short time, the knife came back, and he brought two cases of beer and cut a large piece of pig's head! Daozi's mother came back after a while, and when she saw so many people, she said a few words and went into the kitchen to get busy.
The knife mother is very sharp, and lunch will be ready soon. Although they are all ordinary dishes, the vegetables are freshly picked from the ground and are very fresh. We chatted while eating, and Liu turned his head and asked, "What kind of ginseng do you want, let the knife take you to see it when you finish eating." There are also fresh ones, and there are also work items, although picky. Don't worry, since Lao Situ asked you to come, I promise to give you the lowest price. ”
Yang Guangtong said: "Liu Jiangtou, I don't know if you have a hundred-year-old wild ginseng at home, my grandfather's disease can't be cured if it's not a century-old wild ginseng!" ”
When Liu heard this, he was stunned, shook his head and said, "Where is there still a century-old ginseng now, it is all cultivated in the greenhouse." Hundred-year-old ginseng, you can meet but you can't ask for it! ”
Yang Guangtong listened, and his face showed disappointment. I hurriedly glanced at Situ, who understood, and said, "Grandpa Liu, you must have a way, right?" When you were younger, you often went to the mountains and had a lot of experience. Now that everyone is breeding in the field, it should be a long time since the mountain has been released, maybe there is still one on the mountain, right? ”
Liu didn't speak, but the knife said: "My grandfather is old now, and he hasn't released the mountain for a long time." Now the ginseng in the mountains has long been excavated, let alone the century-old ginseng, and I have never even heard of it. ”
Yang Guangtong hurriedly said: "Boss Liu, please think of a way, as long as I can find one tree and cure my grandfather's illness, I am willing to pay as much as I want." ”
Liu didn't speak, he smoked a dry tobacco pouch for a long time, and then said: "There is a place, I estimate that there should be a few more, but that place is too dangerous, I'm afraid it ......."
The knife immediately said, "Master, are you talking about Fulongling?" ”
"That's it!"
"Don't even think about it!" The knife slapped the chopsticks on the table, and immediately jumped up, "That place is so dangerous, if you go in, you will die, even if there are mountains of gold and silver hidden over there, you can't fight the idea over there!" ”
