Chapter 4 Selling Ginseng [1]
Zhao Yi ate a bowl of instant noodles, then went out to buy some tender beef for Xiaobai. He didn't know if this little guy could eat meat now, so he even got a bag of dog food.
When he entered the cave, he saw Xiaobai lying on the ground boredly. When he saw Zhao Yi appear, the little thing immediately ran towards him with a lame expression.
“Woo woo…”
The coquettish person stretched out his tongue to lick it, and rubbed it with his little head. After a while, the little snow mastiff actually relied on Zhao Yi, which made him very happy. He gently patted Xiaobai's head and threw the dog food and beef in his hand to the ground at the same time.
Xiaobai sniffed his nose curiously, and after wandering on both sides for a few seconds, he decisively launched a charge against the beef. Perhaps Xiaobai is a Tibetan mastiff. Although he is still very young, his teeth are extremely sharp. He can easily bite and tear it into his stomach.
Leaving Xiaobai to swallow it voraciously by himself, Zhao Yi walked to the front of the four newly planted saplings.
"It's so amazing. How long has it been, and I've grown so much."
The four saplings obviously grew a lot higher. Zhao Yi thought it must be because of the soil in the cave. Looking at the small saplings in front of him, he suddenly turned around and looked at the grass behind him.
"It's strange, why are these three seeds growing so slowly?"
For some reason, the seeds planted last night have not yet broken through the ground today. Zhao Yi was puzzled, but after thinking about it, he simply ignored it. It is probably a very good thing. The slower the growth, the better it is. This is the unchanging truth.
Just as he was about to go into the thatched hut to study the Five Animals Play, Zhao Yi suddenly became stunned and looked around as if he was looking at a ghost.
It's getting bigger! The cave has become bigger!
Zhao Yi began to run along the cave. After a few rounds, he was able to confirm that the cave had indeed become larger.
The grass stretched for at least fifty meters, and the thatched hut grew much wider. Looking at the boundaries of the caves around it, it was no longer the original hazy area, but turned into a wall surrounded by countless rattan and weeds!
Tick! Tick!
The sound of water drops falling to the ground came from behind him. When I turned my head to look, I saw that the short and small slope at first was now rising by more than twenty meters. There was an irregular zigzag-shaped hole slowly concave at the top of the slope. Drops of clear and transparent juice were constantly oozing out of the hole.
Zhao Yi walked over and stretched out his tongue to take a few drops of juice. He was sweet and mellow in his mouth. He couldn't help but take a few more drops. After drinking the juice for a few seconds, he suddenly felt refreshed and very comfortable.
"Wang!"
Xiaobai ran over and squatted beside Zhao Yi. Hei Lulu's eyes stared at the water droplets flowing out of the top of a small pool of soil slopes stored on the grass. He stuck out his red tongue and licked it a few times.
Only then did Zhao Yi notice that the soles of his feet were shallow and low-lying, as if water droplets from the soil slope were gathered here. A grass pit, the size of a baby, was slightly sunk into the ground, and was filled with clear water. Although the water droplets were still flowing down, the water in the grass pit did not overflow. This grass pit seemed to be able to automatically maintain a water balance. As long as there was excess water, it would absorb it and would not give any chance of clear water to flow out.
After resting next to the puddle for a while, Zhao Yi got up and was about to go out, but found that his body was indescribable to feel comfortable. He took a strange look at the clear liquid in the puddle on the ground. It seemed that it should be related to this, right?
When I looked at Xiaobai, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, his little face was full of a comfortable expression. This guy was dying all the time yesterday!
I didn't expect that the ginseng was so effective, and the water dripping from the top of the soil slope should not be an ordinary product. Thinking of this, Zhao Yi held a few handfuls of clear water in the pit and watered the four saplings and three seeds respectively.
After doing this, Zhao Yi pondered for a moment, then took out a "little radish" from the thatched hut with thoughtfulness, and then left Xiaobai, packed all the beef residues and dog food on the ground into the plastic bag that had been filled with beef before, and then carried the bag of garbage and flashed out of the space.

Back in the rental house, I found a small wooden box, put the ginseng inside, and went straight to Tongrentang Pharmacy, the most famous one in the imperial capital.
In less than fifteen minutes, I arrived at a nearby Tongrentang branch. After Zhao Yi walked in, there were still many people inside. He glanced around and walked towards a little girl who had no customers to receive.
"Hello, what can help you?"
The little girl is eighteen or nineteen years old, with a professional smile on her face and looks pretty good.
"Will you buy medicinal materials?" Zhao Yi asked.
"Medicinal materials? Can I see your medicinal materials?"
"Yes, yes."
Zhao Yi nodded, placed the small wooden box in his hand on the glass counter, opened the box and took out an adult slap from it and handed it to the little girl.
A rich fragrance of plants and trees came to my face. Not only did the little girl feel stunned, but even an old man in his fifties next to me smelled his nose and came over.
"This fragrance, young man, can you let the old man see this ginseng?"
"sure."
Seeing the old man beside him, Zhao Yi smiled. The bigger the quarrel, the better, so that he could raise the price. The little girl at the counter came back to her senses when she heard the old man's words, returned the ginseng to Zhao Yi, and then pushed open a wooden door behind her and walked in.
Wait for a while, will the legendary big shot appear? It seems that the YY novels are all the tricks?
Zhao Yi handed the ginseng directly to the old man. The old man quickly wiped his hands on his body a few times. After taking the ginseng, he looked at it for a long time, and put it in front of his nose and smelled it several times.
At this time, a short and fat middle-aged man with glasses walked out of the wooden door where the little girl entered in front, and the little girl followed closely behind the middle-aged man.
"I am Wei Changfeng, the manager of this Tongrentang branch. May I ask the two of you who want to use medicinal materials?" the middle-aged man asked as he looked at Zhao Yi and the old man.
"It's me."
Zhao Yi replied with a smile, and at the same time raised his foot and walked forward two steps, shaking hands with the short and fat middle-aged man.
"Young man, are you going to sell this goblin?" The old man suddenly asked Zhao Yi in shock.
"Gomin? Uh... Is this ginseng?" Zhao Yi was a little puzzled. What goblin?
"What else can I do? If you want this guy to grow up for a few years, I'm afraid he will become a spirit!"
The old man pointed to the "little radish" in his hand and shouted exaggeratedly.
Wei Changfeng was stunned and thought that the two of them were not in the same group, right? One sold medicine in the open and the other served as a support in the dark... But with the face of the big pharmacy, he still wanted to take a look at the ginseng with a full vanilla smell before making a decision.
"Little brother, you see that it's a bit hot outside, why don't we go inside and talk?"
When Zhao Yi heard this, he suddenly realized that there were many people around him. He nodded immediately, asked the old man to get back to the ginseng, and walked around the counter and led by Wei Changfeng into the wooden door behind.
The people around who were attracted by the old man's loud voice were all dispersed one after another when they saw that there was no excitement and returned to their collections.
Seeing this, the old man sighed, looked at Zhao Yi's back and the goblins in his hand, his eyes full of reluctance...
—————
Zhao Yi was led into an ancient hut by Wei Changfeng. A young man brought in two more cups of tea. Zhao Yi took a sip, as if it was Longjing.
"Little brother, I don't know your surname yet." Wei Changfeng asked with a smile after taking a sip of tea.
Zhao Yi quickly put down the teacup: "I don't have the surname Zhao, name Yi, and the strong Yi."
"What a good name, the ancient Zhao Zilong was seven in and seven out of Changbanpo. How brave and unparalleled, it was so amazing with the word Yi!"
"hehe..."
Listening to Wei Changfeng's obvious flattery, Zhao Yi smiled awkwardly. He didn't want to waste time, so he got to the point: "Manager Wei, let's not talk about those useless words, you should take a look at this ginseng first."
"Okay." Wei Changfeng didn't want to talk nonsense. He heard this and said yes repeatedly, and carefully took the ginseng and started to look carefully.
"nice one!"
Wei Changfeng's face felt a hint of joy. He felt warm and slippery when he started. The fragrance of plants and trees came from the nose was refreshing. Just from these two points, the small ginseng in his hand was of extraordinary quality! And the weight of this ginseng is not light!
but...
Seeing Wei Changfeng frowning, Zhao Yi couldn't help but ask: "Manager Wei, are there any difficulties?"
"It's like this, Brother Zhao. Your ginseng is definitely a magical product that has been more than a hundred years from the surface, but..." Wei Changfeng said this a little, but looking at Zhao Yi was puzzled, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Can I let me cut a little ginseng? Brother Zhao, don't get me wrong, just a little bit, this is just to determine the year of the ginseng and the size of the effect."
Zhao Yi thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded: "Yes, but you can only cut a little."
"Haha, little brother, don't worry, our century-old Tongrentang store will not do such things as self-destructing reputation as a result of harming customers. Please wait."
After saying that, Wei Changfeng picked up the "little radish" and pushed the door out.
Zhao Yi stayed in the seat and was anxious. Although he knew that Tongrentang had a very famous reputation, he still couldn't let it go.
