Chapter 319, Hu Lao picked the door
Zhao Jianguo's going to the cleaning team has no effect on him, Lao Tzu doesn't get you, you just thank God.
It's just that the next quantitative reduction, big brother, Zhao Jianguo and Liu Yuanchao, who have just stepped into society, have to suffer.
Because I'm not a student anymore.
Therefore, the quantity has to be calculated according to the average worker.
"Let's eat dumplings at night!"
The eldest sister pondered what to eat at night, thought for a while, and then spoke.
Yang Xiaole didn't have any opinion: "Okay, you can make noodles, eat dumplings with sauerkraut and meat, and get some bacon and chop it in." By the way, put it in the house, just cut the bacon into small cubes, don't chop it. ”
"Hey, good~"
Hearing this, the eldest sister smiled and went to get the vegetables.
Ding Ruolan saw this scene and felt strange for a while.
Yang Xiaomei didn't ask his eldest brother just now, let alone his parents, but asked Yang Xiaole alone.
Eat meat without parental consent?
And looking at Yang Xiaogang's unconcerned expression, it seems that all this seems to be normal.
"Sister Ruolan, do you want to eat the dumplings of sauerkraut and bacon? If you don't want to eat, change for something else! ”
"Huh? I can do it all, some of them are good to eat, and there is meat! ”
Ding Ruolan reacted and said with a smile.
Hearing this, the eldest sister smiled and went to meet him.
I went over and took out a little sauerkraut first, and muttered while making it: "I have to ask Aunt Liu to help make some sauerkraut, there is not much sauerkraut." ”
My wife, it is not bad to be able to make sauerkraut in winter, but it will be bad when I do it at other times.
Sour and smelly, that's not a taste!
Yang Xiaole nodded: "Well, let my aunt get some cabbage another day." ”
Let the aunt do it, naturally it's just an excuse.
Because the Yangmei family is also a vegetable farmer.
No one doesn't understand the truth of relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, so no one feels strange to have more dishes at home.
Just like Sun Fu in the soy sauce factory, he hasn't bought soy sauce all year round, and even the courtyard has been stained with it, especially the bean dregs left over from making soy sauce, which is also a good thing.
Several people were busy there, Ding Ruolan went over to help with the noodles, and the eldest sister adjusted the filling.
was so busy that it was almost time to eat, and Kiko came back with a roar.
When you get home, you are hungry.
When I saw the second brother coming back, my eyes immediately lit up, and the food that the second brother would eat at home would not be bad.
Fortunately, I still have a little conscience, and I asked about my father's situation over there, and when I heard that my father was okay there, it wouldn't be too bad to have something from Yang Xiaole.
Immediately he was left behind in his mind.
Yang Xiaole sat there, pondering in his heart.
The meat on the market is gone, and you have to get some bacon for the family before the end of the month, otherwise it will be difficult to say if you get pork later.
It's still comfortable to live alone at home.
You don't have to hide it.
It's a big deal to eat dumplings every day, so the taste is very light.
After thinking about it, forget it, or eat secretly at night as usual.
"Is Yang Guangzhi at home?"
Suddenly there was a shouting voice at the door.
"Oops, Uncle Hu! Quick, get inside. ”
It was his wife Wang Qiuju who spoke.
Hu Lao pretended to be angry and said, "What's it called?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Qiuju was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then reacted: "Oh, uncle, uncle, look at my memory, come into the house and sit." ”
It's still the other party's job!
Although everyone knew it in their hearts, she couldn't admit that the job was bought.
It's just that he doesn't understand what the other party is doing at this time.
It's been almost two years.
The two have never been in contact.
Seeing this, Hu Lao picked up and entered the house with his hands behind his back.
Yang Xiaole is also strange, why did the old man come over at this time?
"Uncle Hu! How did you get here? Sit. Big brother, make some tea. ”
At home, Yang Xiaole naturally didn't call the other party's uncle.
Hu Laoyan hurriedly stopped him, "You're welcome, don't get one." ”
After speaking, he looked outside, and then said in a low voice: "Actually...... I have something to ask for this time. ”
There was a hint of embarrassment in his words.
"This ......"
Wang Qiuju looked dazed.
But Yang Xiaole thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood what was going on.
Ginseng!
After thinking about it, he said, "Uncle Hu, let's go into the house and talk." ”
After saying that, he took the lead and entered the back room.
The old man and Wang Qiuju nodded and followed into the back room.
But Wang Qiuju's curiosity naturally followed.
After entering the house, Yang Xiaole looked back and saw that his wife came in, but he didn't care, so he said to Hu Laojiao: "Uncle Hu, is it a ginseng thing?" ”
I gave a ginseng last time, and I guess it's been effective for so long.
Otherwise, the other party will not come.
The old man looked at Wang Qiuju with a puzzled expression, and he also felt strange, didn't the other party know?
But he still spoke out his purpose.
"That's right, the ginseng you gave last time, my wife ate it, although the person didn't get better, but at least I could barely get out of bed, so I came over to ask if you can still get it at home."
When he spoke, he looked at Wang Qiuju.
After all, he didn't believe that his family didn't know about such a valuable thing.
But Wang Qiuju still looked at her son blankly: "Xiaole, what's the matter?" ”
Yang Xiaole explained with a smile: "Mother, do you remember what I told you?" My master has an apprentice, the eighth, who went to the northeast at the beginning of last year. Also, didn't I go to the mountains with my master after the Chinese New Year last year? It is to go to the White Mountain. ”
"Ang, there seems to be such a thing!"
But what does this have to do with ginseng!
Even if she doesn't know it anymore, she knows that ginseng is precious, and it has always been used by rich people.
Then it felt wrong: "No, you said last time that you went to Tongzhou." How did it become Changbai Mountain? ”
Yang Xiaole pretended to be embarrassed and smiled: "If I say that I went too far, don't you disagree!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Qiuju gritted her teeth for a while.
Looking at the old lady's expression, Yang Xiaole continued: "When we went to the mountains, Master took me to the mountains to dig some, no, the last time you asked me to see Aunt Hu, I brought one over." ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of both people lit up.
Seeing this, Uncle Hu hurriedly said, "That...... Can you still give me one, don't worry, I'll give money. ”
After speaking, he looked at him expectantly.
And Wang Qiuju looked at him directly.
That means handing over things.
Yang Xiaole looked at the expressions of the two people, thought for a moment and asked, "That...... Uncle Hu, let's be honest with you, the last time I gave you ginseng was Changbai Mountain Wild Mountain Ginseng, the year is about five years, and it costs more than 100 yuan to say less. Of course, this is what my master told me later. ”
It can't be said that he knew in advance.
Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.
In Tongrentang, a 3-gram ginseng, and the year is only 3 years, are sold for more than 20 yuan.
His one is more than five years old, and although the weight is fresh ginseng, it is definitely not light, ten grams should be there.
More than a hundred is said to be less.
You must know that ginseng is divided into grades, etc. represents the year, and the grade represents the weight.
Since ancient times, there have been seven taels for ginseng and eight taels for treasure, which shows that weight is also very important for ginseng.
Because of the environmental factors in which ginseng grows, it is difficult to grow.
Of course, this is talking about wild ginseng, not understory ginseng and garden ginseng.
When Wang Qiuju heard this, she almost fainted.
More than a hundred dollars.
Just give it away?
Looking at the expressions of the two, Yang Xiaole continued; "But I still have a few in my hand that are ten years old."
Hu Lao smiled embarrassedly when he heard this: "That...... What you're talking about is the price sold by the pharmacy, and the price charged shouldn't be so much. ”
After speaking, he said a little embarrassedly: "I don't mean anything else, it's just ...... I don't have that much money! ”
Money he has some.
After all, Yang Xiaole's family gave him 400 yuan last time.
It's not all spent in less than two years.
But the two of them are out of work, and only he has some pension, barely enough to live.
After Yang Xiaole listened, he pondered there.
To give or not to give, it's a headache.
If you give it, how do you collect money?
If you collect less, you can't say it, if you collect more, let the old man go bankrupt to buy it, to be honest, he doesn't feel like it.
The old man and his work were both good and good, and the asking price was not low.
But the old man is still quite principled, and he didn't take advantage of the retreat of the rural people to come over and rob while the fire is fired, which is already good.
After all, this thing is not much different from cabbage in his space.
If you don't give.
Isn't it a little too cruel.
Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Hu, wait for me to go back and ask, can you see it?" ”
When Uncle Hu heard this, he hesitated.
I wanted to say something, but in the end I didn't open my mouth, and nodded lightly: "Okay, I'll wait for your news." Then I'll go back first. ”
"Hey, good!"
Seeing this, Yang Xiaole came out, sent the other party to the door, and watched the old man leave lonely.
When the others were gone, the people in the house were watching him.
Wang Qiuju asked directly: "What's the matter?" ”
Yang Xiaole shrugged: "Isn't that the thing!" Didn't you just say that! ”
"You stinky boy, more than a hundred yuan of ginseng was given away like this? Yes?? ”
Wang Qiuju was so angry that she almost fainted.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaole said helplessly: "That was sent by someone, they said that it was dug in the mountain, and they didn't need money." ”
"Then you can't be so bad, can you? Didn't you say there was more? What about the rest? ”
"How can it be considered a waste to treat others?"
"Is that what I mean? I'm not saying it's a waste to heal people, but you're treating that thing like a cabbage,"
Hearing this, Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes: "The thing is in my master's!" ”
When Wang Qiuju heard that he was at Suo Ye's place, he was entangled for a while, and finally gave up: "Don't mess around with the rest of the things, bring them back to me one day." ”
Yang Xiaole pursed his lips when he heard this.
Ignored him.
Looking at his expression, Wang Qiuju muttered with a distressed face, and finally left the room angrily and went out to wash.
After the others left, several people were there looking at each other strangely.
Ding Ruolan asked strangely, "Is this ...... What's wrong? ”
The eldest brother also shook his head blankly: "How do I know! ”
Then he asked him, "What's going on?" ”
Seeing this, Yang Xiaole said the previous statement again.
This caused several people to be surprised.
The eldest brother was curious: "Are you still digging ginseng?" It's expensive! Is it easy to dig? Tell me about it! ”
Yang Xiaole turned his head and glanced at Wang Qiuju who came back next to him in a huff.
Retracted his eyes, where his face was not red and his heart was not beating, he was talking nonsense: "Actually, it's nothing, but it's quite interesting, when I went to the mountain, there was a person who was familiar with the local area, and that person was called the old leader, who was a friend of the master." ”
Damn, fortunately, I saw a lot of Douyin in this area in my previous life, otherwise I wouldn't be able to talk nonsense.
Looking at the people who listened carefully, Yang Xiaole continued to say there: "Hey, there are a lot of rules when you go to the mountain, and when you go, people are singular, because they think that ginseng is also a person, and it is double when you come back, otherwise it will be unlucky, and you will have to worship the mountain god when you enter the mountain!" ”
"And yes! When you see ginseng, you shout at the mallet, but you can't shout when you look for ginseng, because if you see something, you can't call it by name, otherwise you have to carry it. If you see a big rock, if you cry out, "Stone, you have to carry it on your back." ”
The movements of the eldest sister's hands stopped when she listened.
Surprised, he asked, "What if I encounter a snake, what if I scream?" ”
"With it, that's the rule there! Don't say it, someone called the snake, and then put the snake in the basket and carried it, and when it came out, it could be released. ”
He'd seen it before.
"Huh? What if you bite? ”
"What can I do? You won't put a snake in a bamboo tube! ”
Yang Xiaole said a word, and then continued: "When you encounter ginseng, you have to tie it with a red rope with copper coins, because people will run ...... meeting."
After speaking, several people listened with relish.
Seeing the expressions of several people, the corners of Yang Xiaole's mouth twitched, fortunately, it was these people who didn't understand.
But anyone who has been near Changbai Mountain, when they hear his words, they probably have to spit on his face.
What fool goes to the mountains to dig ginseng in the winter.
Of course, in ancient times, it was not that no one dug ginseng in winter, and it was all very experienced old ginseng diggers who dug when it was not snowing.
This is usually marked before.
Or when hunting in the winter, I hit it and dig it up.
I see that he also has the potential to be a storyteller!
Seeing that a few people still had to ask, Yang Xiaole hurriedly said: "I'll go out for a while, and I'll come back later!" ”
After saying that, he slipped away.
A few people were left there to talk about it.
After Yang Xiaole came out, he quietly entered the space and looked at a green ginseng seedling with a red top.
Ginseng bears fruit once a year, and there are no birds here except bees.
There are a lot of new ginseng next to it, and the year is also uneven.
The longest is 10 years of ginseng, and there are some in the vicinity that are 9 to 1 year old, but the amount is not particularly large.
In his opinion, it is not too much to be fine.
A hundred-year-old ginseng is on top of countless ten or eight years.
I looked left and right, thought about it for a while, and dug out a few ten-year-old ginseng sticks.
Anyway, he has more than 200 of these things, and after nine years, one month has become ten years, so naturally there is nothing to feel sorry for.
Carefully wash the ginseng and hang it directly under the peach tree to let it air dry.
It will also be useful in the future.
After getting it done, he came out of the space and walked towards Hu Laolu's house.
Ay!
I still can't bear it!
…………
Hu Lao sighed and returned home, looked at his wife sitting on the edge of the bed, frowned and said, "Okay, what are you doing down?" Lie in bed! Tossing around all day long. ”
The old lady was not angry about this.
"I've been lying down for too long, my body is uncomfortable, sit up more comfortably."
Hearing this, the old man didn't say anything, came to the table at the head of the bed, and touched the enamel jar.
Seeing that the temperature was not very hot, I went over and added a little hot water and handed it to her.
The old lady habitually took it and took a sip and put it in the palm of her hand.
Looking at the old man in front of her, she muttered there: "Okay, don't toss, what kind of ginseng do you get!" It's so expensive, this one has broken me. ”
The old man ignored her.
Flush off the boiling water from the stove, replace it with a new one, and seal the stove.
Poured some warm water for the old lady to wash her face, and then sat there with a glass of water.
"Uncle Hu!"
As soon as the old man sat down, a shouting voice came from the door.
Hearing the voice, the old man hurried up.
It is already known who is coming.
After coming out, looking at Yang Xiaole's empty hands, Hu Lao's eyes were a little disappointed.
Still, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Yang Xiaole looked around, and then said, "That...... Uncle Hu, it's like this, my master still has things, you see, how much can you give. ”
What he meant was to give a little bit and count it.
It would be nice to mean it.
There's no need to hollow out the old bottom.
There is no mention of the year.
When the old man heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he pondered it there.
In fact, he was also wondering about one thing, that is, after eating the previous ginseng, he ruthlessly went to the pharmacy to buy one.
But it didn't work very well.
Seeing that the old lady's body began to deteriorate again, he wondered if the ginseng given by Yang Xiaole was better.
Bite the bullet in the past.
But now that he is really asked to pay the price, he is a little distressed, in case it is useless!
Looking at his tangled expression, Yang Xiaole didn't embarrass him, and said directly: "Think about it again, I'll go back first." Come back in a few days. ”
But he still got to the bottom of it: "But let's talk about it first!" Although I dug this myself, it can't be less than fifty! ”
The purchase price is different from the price of Tong Ren Tang Pharmacy after all.
But fifty is already half bought and half given.
