Chapter 105 The Luck of Stepping on Shit
Chapter 105 The luck of stepping on shit
"Sister Dani, don't move yet. There is a grass next to you. It is very close to you. It looks familiar to me. Please wait for me to go down and take a closer look. See if it is the one I think of."
Hey, Ding Yu immediately relaxed after hearing his explanation. What did she think it was? But she also turned around and looked to the left and right of herself to see what it was.
There wasn't much grass growing under the ravine. Most of the nutrients were absorbed by the vines, so of course the grass couldn't grow. But a plant with small red fruits grew on her right hand side.
While Tengyu was observing, Chen Shenzhong also slipped down from above. The ravine was not deep, so he slid down neatly.
"Sure enough, I read that right!"
Chen Shenzhong stared at the plants with joy.
Although Tengyu has never seen it, she has read a lot of novels. This thing has been described in many novels, especially the familiar red fruit. Tengyu made guesses at the first sight. However, she still followed
Chen Shenzhong asked firmly.
"Is this really ginseng? How can I be so lucky that a ginseng tree pops out from under my butt?"
I never thought that one day she would have luck that was even more exaggerated than the bad luck she had. She was like the protagonist!
But she knew clearly that the protagonist of this world was not her, but why was she given a halo now?
The tench is puzzled.
"You can't go wrong! It has five leaves and a stem in the center, commonly known as a hundred-foot pestle. When mature, it will produce seeds like soybeans and turn red. I have seen freshly picked ginseng, and that's it. This is ginseng!"
Chen Shenzhong drew conclusions from his professional perspective.
"So evil? Do you want me to step on the dog poop?"
Tengyu still doesn't believe that he can grow a ginseng plant in one sitting.
Seeing that she was still struggling, Chen Shenzhong managed to hold back his laughter, "You don't need to work so hard! What's so hard to believe? Ginseng already grows here, otherwise my family and the Chen family wouldn't buy the mountain here.
I’m growing medicinal materials. So, it’s not surprising at all to encounter ginseng.”
What she didn't tell her was that he had gone into the mountains many times to find ginseng to sell for money, and then gave a gift to the captain of the village and asked him to take care of their mother and son. Unfortunately, he searched for a long time but could not find it. Unexpectedly, he would no longer find it.
I had been thinking about it, but now it appeared in front of him easily.
Still so old.
Chen Shenzhong could no longer tell the age of this ginseng just by looking at the leaves. After all, he was still young at that time. His grandfather only introduced him to herbal medicine to give him a general impression, and it was not yet time for him to study it in detail. Therefore,
He knew ginseng, but he needed to dig it out to roughly judge its age.
After listening to Chen Shenzhong's words, Ding Yu next to him thought about it and thought that the book mentioned that ginseng was produced here. So it is indeed not surprising to encounter ginseng in the deep mountains and old forests. After thinking about it, Ding Yu stared at the ginseng and asked Chen Shenzhong,
"Then let's dig it out? What should we use to dig it out?"
Chen Shenzhong looked around, reached out and folded a small wooden stick, and then dug it up carefully.
"When digging ginseng, you can't touch any of the ginseng skin. This is a delicate job. Let me dig it! Sister Dani will help me look around. It may take a little longer."
Seeing how he was grinding it away little by little, Tengyu also knew that even though he was so impatient and could only dig in three times, he would be doing nothing to help.
"Speaking of which, your name is Shen Zhong. I heard your mother say that your family names are all named after medicinal materials. Your name is Shen Zhong, which is closely related to ginseng."
After watching it for a while, Ding Yu couldn't help but think of the big boss's name.
"Um."
When Ding Yu saw him mentioning his name, her hand movements paused, and it took a while before she answered her. Thinking of the bad things in the Chen family, she felt that she shouldn't talk about this topic. But if she comforted the child, maybe the child
Think more.
Standing up, she was not a comforting person and started an embarrassing topic. The best way to end it was to hide.
Tench climbed out of the ravine and took a look at the deep ravine. Then there were many such deep and shallow ravines in the distance. He asked the people below,
"Tell me, do you have this kind of thing in other ditches? The environment seems to be similar."
"Don't mess around! We will go back very late after digging this one. Even if you find it, we won't have time to dig it. If you really want to know, we can come back and look for it next time. We can't do it today."
In fact, this thing is not of much use to the current tench. If she had met such a fish when she first came here, she would have been extremely happy. Except that she didn't believe her luck at first, she was overjoyed to meet it today.
There is really no madness.
Therefore, in other words, Tengyu has no real intention to dig through every ditch.
Chen Shenzhong was indeed right. It had been dark for a long time when they returned to the valley. Except for Uncle Meng who had already gone back from the mountain, everyone in the valley was worried and waiting for them at the entrance of the valley. They finally saw the two.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he came back, then pushed the two of them back to wash their hands and eat. If anything happened, we would talk about it after the meal.
They had already eaten, and originally wanted to wait for the two of them to come back together, but they didn't see them coming back after waiting here and there, so they left the food behind.
The two of them took off the backpacks without washing their hands first, but took out the ginseng from inside and showed it to several people.
"This thing shouldn't be two hundred years old, but it should be around one hundred, seventeen or eighty years old."
Chen Shenzhong nodded, and his mother's estimate was similar.
"This is ginseng!"
"This is ginseng!"
Uncle-in-law and Sanni were amazed one after another as they looked at the things they took out and put on the table.
"I heard this thing is worth my money!"
Sanni followed her second sister and often ran to the village. She once heard those boastful uncles and uncles mention this ginseng, so she sighed.
"Well, so, we can't tell others that we have this thing at home, otherwise"
"I know, I know, eldest sister, you don't believe me too much. Look at when I told the outside world about our family's affairs!"
That's true! Even though Sanni is young, she is very clever.
The next day, when Uncle Meng came, he was not too surprised when he saw this thing. After all, he was a man who had seen the world.
"If you sell this thing now, it won't fetch a big price if you don't need it urgently. It's better to put it away first! Keep it for yourself, maybe you can use it some time. However, speaking of really good ginseng, it still comes from the deep mountains and old forests in Liaodong.
He’s very earthy and quite chubby.”
"So do you still have it now?"
Ding Yu couldn't see his arrogance and ended the topic with one sentence.
The autumn harvest is still torturous. Although you are watching the harvest and smelling the fragrance of the grain, only those who work know how tired it is.
It wasn't until all the autumn harvests in the village and the mountains were harvested, leaving only the unripe sweet potatoes in the mountains, that Tingyu would transport the sun-dried and tanned rabbit skins to the mountains.
