Returning to the mountain temple in one breath, Chen Xiaobei had a thought. When he was carrying Dachun on his back that night, he felt that the dense things on the roadside looked like Houttuynia cordata. The view was good today, so why not go down and have a look.
He did what he said and found the place where Liu Tie fell. Chen Xiaobei carefully went down to the bottom of the cliff.
I kept going forward along the route that night. Not far away, I saw a large green plant in front of me. It was really Houttuynia cordata.
Chen Xiaobei followed the method taught by Cui Hongyu, picking at most one-third to one-fourth of each plant, so as not to damage the roots or let Houttuynia cordata damage the vitality.
The baggage I brought was soon filled to the brim.
Today's harvest is very gratifying. Chen Xiaobei came back humming a little tune.
Cui Hongyu was overjoyed when she saw two Ganoderma lucidum plants and called them rare.
Cui Hongyu frowned after hearing Chen Xiaowei explain the location of the discovery.
"When I was young, my grandfather once said that there was a Gourd Valley on the mountain."
"The terrain of that place is like a gourd. Legend has it that a god in the sky happened to pass by Qingniu Mountain when he was returning home after drinking too much. He accidentally dropped the gourd and it became the Gourd Valley."
"I heard from my grandpa that all kinds of rare medicinal materials grow in Calabash Valley."
Chen Xiaobei got excited when he heard this. The rumors were somewhat believable, just look at the large area of Ganoderma lucidum.
"Hongyu, it will be much easier to handle now. I will go to Calabash Valley next time."
Cui Hongyu shook his head, "No, my grandfather also told me that there is a mountain god guarding the Calabash Valley. When outsiders go in, it will be windy, thundering or raining, and there will be wild beasts."
Chen Xiaobei laughed after hearing this.
There are no four seasons in the mountains, and wind, rain, thunder and lightning are normal natural phenomena.
"Oh, okay, then I won't go." The reason why Chen Xiaobei was telling the truth was because he didn't want Cui Hongyu to worry about him.
"Husband, these two Ganoderma lucidum plants plus these two ginseng plants can be sold for at least seven or eight taels of silver. Can you buy a horse back?" Cui Hongyu finally made a request.
Chen Xiaobei's heart felt warm, she felt sorry for herself.
It was rare for Cui Hongyu to take the initiative to make a request. He smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
After lunch, Chen Xiaobei rushed to the county seat without taking a moment's rest.
Jia Wannian from Huahaotang smiled happily when he saw that he had brought two Ganoderma lucidum plants this time.
"Brother Xiaobei, you are so lucky. As far as I know, we in Dacang Country don't have a few Ganoderma lucidums like this in a year. The quality of this one is really good."
"Shopkeeper Jia, let's not say any polite words. Please tell me directly, what price can you give me for this Ganoderma lucidum?"
Jia Wannian nodded, "Two ginseng, two Ganoderma lucidum, how about I give you a total of ten taels of silver?"
This is higher than the estimate Cui Hongyu gave him. Of course, Chen Xiaobei also understands that this higher price is not in vain.
Sure enough, Jia Wannian continued, "Brother Xiaobei, I have a heartfelt request. Next time you come to buy Ganoderma lucidum, can you bring the soil around it? I want to continue to grow it for a while."
Chen Xiaobei understood instantly. He knew that if there is soil, the Ganoderma lucidum will continue to grow, and the hyphae and seeds can be reproduced, which means that theoretically, it can have endless offspring.
However, Jia Wannian's words reminded him.
If you can plant Ganoderma lucidum in your own home, you won't have to climb up the mountain every day, which will kill two birds with one stone.
Having said that, I have to thank Jia Wannian for opening up his own ideas.
Thinking of this, he immediately smiled and said, "It's easy to talk about. It's easy to talk about. When I find it next time, I will definitely bring it to you with the soil."
After leaving Huahaotang, Chen Xiaobei became happy.
Jia Wannian's request allowed him to find another way to get rich, by removing some of the Ganoderma lucidum from the Gourd Valley.
Just find some rotten wood and plant Ganoderma lucidum artificially, and you're done.
Thinking about it now, I lived in the countryside when I was a child, and those skills at that time were actually used in this world. It was really a twist of fate.
As he was thinking about this, he became a little distracted, and unknowingly he bumped into someone head-on.
Taking a closer look, he saw that the person who bumped into him was a little beggar only as high as his chest.
The little beggar took a step back, apologized profusely, then turned and ran away.
Looking at the empty streets, Chen Xiaobei was stunned. Why did he crash?
After being simply stunned, his heart tightened and he quickly touched his arms.
Oops, the money is gone.
Chen Xiaobei said nothing and just chased after him. Ten taels of silver was a huge sum of money. He had earned it by working his way up Qingniu Mountain. How could he let this little beggar go away so easily?
The little beggar obviously didn't expect that Chen Xiaobei would catch up. He got into the small alley next to him, stopped, opened the money bag in his hand and saw that it was a huge sum of ten taels, and he couldn't help but get excited.
But before the excitement was over, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Chen Xiaobei chasing after him. The little beggar panicked and ran forward again.
Chen Xiaobei has been running to the county town every day recently, and his leg strength has long been developed.
He held his breath and chased him through five or six streets.
Now, the little beggar is finished.
Seeing that he could no longer run, he was breathing heavily and his speed slowed down significantly.
There was a ruined temple in front of him, and the little beggar gritted his teeth and rushed in.
As soon as he entered, the little beggar shouted at the top of his voice, "Brothers, come quickly, someone is coming to the door."
When Chen Xiaobei arrived at the gate of the ruined temple, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
There were five or six children in the yard, most of them younger than the little beggar just now.
Some of these children held branches and some bricks in their hands, and they all glared at themselves.
The little beggar who just stole the money pointed at Chen Xiaobei and said loudly, "Why are you chasing me?"
Chen Xiaobei laughed at his words, "You stole my money, why don't I chase you?"
"You, don't accuse me unjustly. I just bumped into you. Why should you say that I stole your money?"
Chen Xiaobei laughed, "Then tell me, why are you running away if you didn't steal money?"
"I, I'm afraid you'll hit me." The little beggar was asking for it.
Chen Xiaobei also knew that there was no reason to argue with such a person. He stretched out his hand and said, "Give me back the ten taels of silver and forget about it. Otherwise, I will report it to the official and arrest you all."
"I didn't, I didn't." The little beggar shouted, "If you dare to take another step forward, don't blame us for being rude."
At this moment, he heard a violent cough coming from inside. Chen Xiaobei felt heartbroken when he heard the cough. The cough was so heartbreaking that he might have coughed out all his internal organs.
"Xiaomu, why did you steal something again?" It was a woman's voice, and she must have sounded very young.
