10. Thousands of miles to read the rivers and mountains (3)

Longzhou, which belongs to Shangjing Road of the Jin Kingdom, is located in the area of Changbai Mountain, which is completely a place outside the Song people, but in the eyes of the Jin people, it represents the place of their Longxing......

In the early autumn, when the materials were abundant and merchants gathered, it was far away from the Great Song Dynasty, although there were ginseng treasures like the mountains, but it was difficult to become a distribution center for bulk commodities after all. Hibiscus got up early in the morning, but when he went out, he found that it was not as prosperous as Dengzhou at all, and even a little depressed, and there were few people on the street.

"Ah, Brother Kong, are you up too?!" Mu Hibiscus just went out and took a deep breath, and Kong Shen immediately pushed the door out.

Lined with the continuous snow-capped mountains, the hibiscus stretched her waist, revealing the girl's unique slender figure.

"Ahh As soon as Kong Shen finished saying this, Shi Jing came out.

Damn, this kid is bent on kidnapping my sister-in-law, and wants to leave me alone, this revenge will be avenged! Shi Jing said indignantly behind him.

......

A large part of the reason why the Zhenquan Inn has been able to operate for hundreds of years is because of Fusong, where almost all the ginseng dealers in the Changbai Mountain area trade, and the head of the ginseng team also settled here. It is because of this mountain elf that this border town has gradually developed into a big city in the Longzhou area.

"Hey, second brother, you see that there are a lot of ginseng sellers there!" Mu Hibiscus and Shi Jing are both doctors, and they are naturally very kind to this medicinal material, and they are happy to see the hunting, so they want to come forward to see this piece of stall, full of ginseng of different sizes.

"Stand back, I'll take you, these traffickers who don't speak your accent are locals, they're going to kill you. After Kong Shen finished speaking, he casually pulled the hibiscus behind him and subconsciously protected her.

Hibiscus was touched by Kong Shen like this, and his cheeks suddenly flushed.

Shi Jing is so angry in his heart......

"Old man, can you test it?" Kong Shen said as he walked to a stall and pointed to the neatly arranged rows of ginseng, which was surprising that the ginseng was wrapped in red pine bark.

"Don't fix these things that you don't have, if you want to buy them, you can see them, if you don't buy them, don't move them for Lao Tzu!" the old man said with an unkind face, and gathered his cotton clothes again.

"Uncle, we're going to buy it. Let's see~" Mu Hibiscus saw that the old man had been looking at him with a smile on his face, so he took care of it, went up and said coquettishly.

The old man has been a ginseng picker all his life, and he doesn't even have a daughter-in-law, so he can stand the teasing of this little girl.

"Hey, little girl, you can watch it if you want to, and you need to be so polite. Hey, hey, hey......" said the old man as he opened the stout man in the stall. "How about the little girl, I'm thick enough and big enough, you're satisfied!"

Mu Hibiscus was stupidly listening to it happily, but Shi Jing reacted, damn, this perverted old man is teasing my sister!

"What are you talking about, you dead old man!!!" Shi Jing had just been angry at Kong Shen, and he had nowhere to vent, so he stepped forward and glared at the old man, and said viciously.

The old man probably knew that he was wrong, so he didn't say anything, but Kong Shen spoke first.

"This ...... This ginseng ...... But the ...... from Lao Yeling" Kong Shen's voice trembled a little, and when he listened carefully, he was faintly crying.

"Childe has good eyesight, this is a chick that has just been put into the mountain this year, and this ginseng must be five hundred years old!" I saw the old man holding the ginseng with red pine bark and lifting it up, showing a few people, the ginseng had no wrinkles on its body, it was as tender as mutton fat, and the thickness was like a baby's arm.

Hibiscus and Shijing were quite puzzled on the side, isn't it just a ginseng, although it is rare to be 500 years old, but it is not so exciting!

"Su ...... No...... This...... How to sell this ginseng. Kong Shen said, tears could no longer be contained, overflowing from his eyes, and he was choked up when he spoke.

The old man's little eyes flickered, although he didn't know why the other party liked this ginseng so much, but he rushed this attitude, it was obvious that he was determined to win, and he couldn't be slaughtered well?

"One thousand taels, one less copper will not be sold!" said the old man, taking the ginseng in his arms, and seeing that the posture was to prepare a strange commodity to live in, waiting for the price to sell.

"Okay, good, I'll buy I'll buy. Kong Shen raised his sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels from his arms. "This is the silver ticket of the Great Song Dynasty, you can redeem it when you arrive in Beijing!"

The old man had also seen a silver ticket, but the denomination was so large, it was the first time in his life that he had seen it, he had taken the silver ticket, and he had been shining in the sun for a long time, and he couldn't see the reason, so he folded the letter suspiciously and put it into his arms.

"Hey, the person who made such a happy move, you are the first one I have ever seen!" If in the past, such a high-priced medicinal material, the buyer could cut it with him for a morning, this son is generous, a thousand taels of silver, and his brows are not wrinkled!

"Quick, wrap it up for Lao Tzu! Scratch a wound, Lao Tzu wants your life!" Kong Shen was anxious to lose his usual gentle and elegant image, and looked at the hibiscus in shock.

"Brother Kong, what are you buying this ginseng for?" Mu Hibiscus gently pulled Kong Shen's coat and asked softly.

"Lao Tzu doesn't have time to reply to you, I'm going to get some soil right now, and then go back to the inn!" Kong Shen's face was no longer the polite and polite look he had on weekdays, and his fierce appearance was even worse than the old man just now.

"Hey, you kid......" Shi Jinggang wanted to drink Kong Shen and ask for an explanation, but Kong Shen ignored him at all, and ran towards a small pine forest nearby without looking back.

Kong Shen also ignored the cool weather, took off the green silk jacket outside, carefully selected several handfuls of black soil under the pine trees, carefully picked out all the dirt in the soil, and then wrapped it in a blanket.

The ginseng was carefully put into his arms, as if he was holding a rare treasure, and walked back in the direction of the inn. As he walked, he lowered his head to the ginseng in his arms and said softly.

"Xiao Su Fan, don't be afraid, I'm here to take you home......"
