Chapter 37: Ginseng
Ye Shu'er was stunned for a moment, her eyes immediately lit up, and she picked up the weeds and snow, and it was like a ginseng plant.
"Zhi'an, come and see, ginseng."
Ye Shu'er tugged Xue Zhi'an's arm and whispered.
"Daughter-in-law, I've heard my mother say, isn't that worth a lot of money?"
Xue Zhi'an asked, pointing to ginseng.
"Shhh
Ye Shu'er gestured, and then taught Xue Zhi'an how to dig ginseng.
It took the two of them a quarter of an hour to dig out the ginseng completely, and it turned out to be a century-old ginseng!
Ye Shu'er's little face blossomed, she carefully wrapped the ginseng and put it in the basket, and then Ye Shu'er looked around again, and happened to find the herbs used by Li Yumei to apply her face, and after digging some of them, she took Xue Zhi'an down the mountain.
"Coming back? Shu'er, how is it, have you found the herbs? ”
Li Yumei waited anxiously in the courtyard, she didn't know when she was covered with a face toil, if she hadn't listened to her voice, Ye Shu'er would have almost been startled.
"I found my second sister-in-law, but this herb is not very effective now, and I still have to wait until the evening before going to bed to exert the greatest effect."
Ye Shu'er took out a bush from the basket and handed it to Li Yumei to see, while explaining.
"Huh? Then my face will only be good for a few days, how can I see people, Xiaobao won't let me hug it. ”
Li Yumei was crying and mournful, and she couldn't see it at all wrapped in a scarf, but she knew what kind of expression she was now by listening to the emotions mixed in her voice.
"Second sister-in-law, I can't help it, you can't be in a hurry, the more anxious you are, the more you ...... Hmmm......"
Before Ye Shu'er finished speaking, she was directly covered by Li Yumei's mouth, looked at her with pleading eyes and said, "Grandma, I beg you not to say it, I still want to heal my face quickly, I don't want to become an ugly monster in the future." ”
Li Yumei's actions were seen by the Zhang family, and she couldn't help but smile and said: "Now I know that I'm afraid, who made you always bully Shu'er before, this time let you have a good memory." ”
"Mother, I know it's wrong, and now that I'm like this, won't you make fun of me?"
Li Yumei's heart was blocked, if she had known that this would be the case, why would she say those yin and yang weird words, every time she didn't say it, she was unlucky.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about you, Shu'er, come in, go to the mountains to be weird and cold, my mother cooked sugar water, you go and drink a bowl with Zhi'an."
Zhang glanced at Li Yumei, and warmly beckoned Ye Shu'er and Xue Zhi'an into the kitchen.
"Mother, I'm talking about business, what's the matter with you taking Shu'er away?"
Li Yumei followed her to the kitchen for the sake of her face, and muttered dissatisfiedly.
"I heard it all, don't bother Shu'er, let's talk about it in the evening."
Zhang's spoke, Li Yumei couldn't insist anymore, and unwillingly glanced at the basket that Ye Shu'er was carrying, and left the kitchen.
"Mother, we not only found herbs, but also found good things."
After Ye Shu'er finished speaking, she lifted the corner of the basket and let the Zhang family see, and a century-old ginseng was exposed.
"It's ...... This! ”
Zhang glanced at Ye Shu'er suspiciously, and then glanced away from the basket, and a century-old ginseng in good condition came into her sight, and she was stunned for two seconds before she looked at Ye Shu'er ecstatically.
"Mother, this is something I accidentally found on the mountain with Zhi'an, and it grows with this herb."
Ye Shu'er explained, Xue Zhi'an nodded while drinking sugar water.
"Great, with this, we can save a lot of silver for Zhi'an to catch medicine."
The Zhang family was still worried about this matter, although it was said that Ye Shu'er made a lot of money from He Shou Wu last time, but Xue Zhi'an's medicine was not cheap, and sooner or later he would finish eating, even if Ye Shu'er was barely able to take on the embroidery work, but with this century-old ginseng, it was different.
"Yes, mother, this is left to you, and you can deal with it as you say."
Ye Shu'er looked around after speaking, and then took out the hundred-year-old ginseng and handed it to Zhang.
"Okay, mother, let's go put it away, and let's go to town again in a few days, and sell this ginseng a little and keep a little."
Zhang carefully wrapped the ginseng, and then Xue Lao Er suddenly came in from outside, saw Zhang's actions and expressions, and immediately asked curiously: "Mother, what are you talking about, are you so happy?" Is there anything good? ”
Xue Laoer's words caught Zhang off guard, startled, and when he came back to his senses, he slapped Xue Lao Er angrily and said: "You little rabbit cub, you don't make a sound when you come in, you want to scare your mother to death?" ”
"Mother, obviously you didn't hear it, why didn't I move?"
Xue Lao Er was a little inexplicable, and looked at Zhang with an innocent face.
"It's okay, there's sugar water in the pot, drink it yourself, my mother still has something to do."
Zhang calmed down his emotions, returned to his usual expression, and went back to his room directly without waiting for Xue Lao Er to ask anything more.
"What's wrong with my mother, is my daughter-in-law's face saved?"
Xue Lao Er glanced at Zhang's back, and then turned his head to Ye Shu'er and Xue Zhi'an and asked.
"Yes, second brother, and ......"
"Ahem, ahem! Zhi'an, if you finish drinking sugar water, you will take Shu'er back to the house, and you have been running all morning, Shu'er hasn't done today's embroidery yet, right? ”
As soon as Xue Zhi'an was halfway through his words, Zhang suddenly came back and directly interrupted him.
"Mother, Zhi'an and I will go back to the house."
Ye Shu'er immediately understood what the Zhang family meant, this century-old ginseng is so valuable, not because she is guarding against her son, but because she is afraid that Xue Lao Er will leak her mouth when the time comes, and the people in the village will know about it, and she doesn't know how to blush their family.
"Daughter-in-law, I'...... Hmmm......"
"Second brother, Zhi'an and I will go back to the room first, let's go back to the room later, this kind of thing can't be said in front of the second brother, do you know Zhi'an."
Xue Zhi'an wanted to say something, but Ye Shu'er directly stepped forward and covered his mouth, and said to Xue Lao Er with a red face.
"Cheng, you go back to the house quickly, I don't listen to your whispers."
Xue Lao Er's face turned red when he saw Ye Shu'er, and he immediately understood what the two were going to say, so he waved his hand and didn't ask again.
Ye Shu'er kept dragging Xue Zhi'an back to the room, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and let him go.
"Daughter-in-law, what are you going to tell me? What can't the second brother listen to, why didn't my mother let me tell the second brother about ginseng? ”
As soon as he entered the room, Xue Zhi'an was full of question marks.
"It's not that I won't let you say it, it's that I won't say it for the time being, don't you listen to what my mother arranged?"
Ye Shu'er thought for a while and said, after all, it is still a bit difficult to explain some things to Xue Zhi'an, and she understands that Xue Zhi'an may not be able to understand.
