Chapter 22 I will come to pick it up

It took half an hour to dig a few ginseng.

Following Cui Hongyu's instructions, after digging them all out, they carefully put them into a cloth bag and then put them in his arms. Then Chen Xiaobei hurried home.

At this time, he could only remember the place where the pheasant had just seen flying, and wait for the ginseng seller to come back before looking for it.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, the scene in front of him moved him deeply.

Cui Hongyu was holding water in an iron pot to water the vegetables, while Chen Qiaoer was holding a small branch and digging something on the ground nearby.

Seeing Chen Xiaobei coming, her sister Chen Qiaoer stood up, came to Chen Xiaobei's side, and pointed towards the place where she had just been working.

"My brother doesn't know who caused the trouble and brought the poop into our field."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.

Chen Xiaobei thought. Yes, poop.

Even in the 20th century, human and animal manure was still an important part of fertilizer in vegetable fields. The most important reason is that this kind of farmyard manure is easy to dissolve.

Thinking of this, he laughed and reached out to pat Chen Qiaoer's head.

"Qiao'er, this is not a bad thing, it's just that we are overthinking it. If you bury this poop in the ground, the vegetables in the ground will grow very well."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiaoer's eyes lit up and she opened her big eyes and asked.

"Brother, if you bury this poop, the vegetables that grow out won't have a smell, right?"

Chen Xiaobei didn't know how to explain this to his sister for a while.

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

At this time, Cui Hongyu came over and bowed respectfully to Chen Xiaobei, "Husband, the rice porridge has been cooked at home before you come here, and I will wait for you to come back to eat."

Well, Chen Xiaobei's best choice at this moment is of course to obey.

As soon as he returned home, before Cui Hongyu could put away the food, Chen Xiaobei had already taken out the ginseng plants from his arms.

"Hongyu, look at it. It was picked from the mountain. What's the quality like?"

Cui Hongyu nodded, then looked at his hands carefully, and his eyes gradually let out a glimmer of joy.

"Husband, this tree is seven years old, and this one is ten years old."

As he spoke, he placed the ginseng on the table one by one, and finally took out the largest one. After looking at it, Cui Hongyu's eyes lit up with joy.

"Husband, this one must be at least thirty years old. It can be sold for at least one tael of silver in a drugstore."

No, Chen Xiaobei also had an incredible look in his eyes. He thought it was valuable, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable.

"Kuyu, is it true? Is this really that valuable?"

Cui Hongyu nodded, "Husband, you will naturally understand this when you take it to the drugstore."

After drinking two bowls of rice porridge, Chen Xiaobei rushed to the county town impatiently.

His goal is very clear, naturally it is the largest pharmacy in the county, known as Huahao Hall.

When the boy in the store saw Chen Xiaobei entering, there was obviously a trace of contempt in his eyes.

He stepped forward and hugged Chen Xiaobei, "Young Master, what are you doing here?"

Although he calls himself a young master, this sentence is obviously contemptuous.

But after all, he didn't show any obvious symptoms, and Chen Xiaobei didn't feel like having an attack, so he had no choice but to nod his head at the little guy and take out a ginseng plant from his arms.

"I dug up a few rare plants and want to see what price we can get here?"

The boy glanced at the ginseng in his hand. There was surprise in his eyes, "Where did you get this?"

Chen Xiaobei smiled calmly.

"People in the mountains occasionally get it. I wonder if you can give me a price."

The boy looked at him, clasped his fists and said, "Wait a moment." He turned around and ran to the back hall.

Soon an old man with white beard and hair came out following the young man.

The old man came to Chen Xiaobei and cupped his fists slightly, "The old man Jia Wannian is the shopkeeper of Huahao Hall."

"Sir, could you please show me the ginseng again?"

Well, since you are the shopkeeper, let me show you again.

This time Chen Xiaobei took out the oldest one. According to Cui Hongyu, this one was over thirty years old.

Sure enough, when Jia Wannian saw this ginseng tree, his eyes shone with excitement.

He took it, turned it over and looked at it carefully, and then carefully handed it back to Chen Xiaobei's hand.

"Master, let's go over there and talk."

After saying this, he gestured to the boy next to him, and the boy immediately turned around and left.

Jia Wannian took Chen Xiaobei and walked all the way inside. There was a table and several chairs at the end.

Jia Wannian asked Chen Xiaobei to sit down, and then the boy came over with tea.

When Chen Xiaobei saw the tea being served, he understood that Jia Wannian wanted to have a good chat with him.

Sure enough, Jia Wannian greeted him politely for tea and said with a smile, "Sir, for these ginseng trees in your hand, at what price do you plan to sell them?"

Chen Xiaobei smiled calmly, and slapped him according to the estimate given by Cui Hongyu.

"I have a total of seven ginseng plants here, this number in total."

To be honest, he took out the ginseng one by one from his arms and placed them on the table.

Jia Wannian's eyes flashed with surprise. Maybe he thought of Chen Xiaobei's ginseng, but he didn't expect that Chen Xiaobei would have so many.

Jia Wannian picked up the ginseng trees one by one, looked at them one by one, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, these are authentic wild ginseng, and five taels of silver is reasonable. Just wait while I get the silver for you."

Kung Fu Bu Jian Wan Nian came back with a cloth bag in his hand. He gently put the cloth bag in front of the table and said, "Young Master, you count, no more, no less, exactly five hangings."

Chen Xiaobei looked at this one and saw that there was no amount. He opened it and didn't even check whether it contained five ounces of money.

He still believes in the basic trust between people.

He clasped his fist at Jia Wannian, took the bag and was about to turn around and leave, but Jia Yinian called him back.

"Master, please stay. I have a few more words to say."

Chen Xiaobei stopped and turned around, "Shopkeeper Jia, if you have anything to say, just give me your orders."

Jia Wannian chuckled and said, "I don't dare to accept your orders. If I dig out any medicinal materials in the future, sir, I can send them directly to you."

"If the young master digs too much, you can send a message and I will take someone to get it myself."

Regarding this sentence, Chen Xiaobei only regarded the other party as being polite.

After all, if you think about when you can dig out so many medicinal materials, it is obviously impossible.

After leaving Huahao Hall, Chen Xiaobei felt happy and ready to take off.

I made five ounces of copper coins in one fell swoop, which meant I had to catch a lot of pheasants.

He didn't even stay in the county town for long, he immediately turned around and walked home.

When he returned home, Chen Xiaobei took a step forward without saying a word, picked up Cui Hongyu and lifted him into the air.
