Age: My Small World

Chapter 318 Wild Ginseng

"Xiao Cao, there are so many vegetables, why don't you pick them all and take them home?"

Yang Jun asked in some surprise.

In theory, shepherd's purse can be taken home and made into pickles or sauerkraut for storage, but the little girl did not pick all of it and instead kept it here.

The grass grinned and said, "None of this belongs to me. I just pick as much as I can every day. It's the same for others."

Yang Jun couldn't help but be silent. He didn't expect that at such a young age, she already knew how to consider others and was not greedy.

"Xiaocao, you will definitely suffer when you grow up."

She shook her head, not quite understanding what her elder brother meant.

"It's okay, let's go back."

Seeing that she had picked half of the frame and would not pick it anymore, we decided to go back together.

When he returned home, Yang Jun was ready to say goodbye.

Unexpectedly, she asked him to wait for a moment, and then she hurried to wash the wild vegetables.

"Big brother, this dish is delicious. Take some back with you."

It turned out that these were picked for him, but I thought he shouldn't carry anything too heavy on the way back, so I only picked half of the frame and stopped.

Yang Jun did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

The water used for washing was the snow water she brought back.

According to Xiaocao, she specifically found a clean grassland to collect the snow, so it must be clean.

Yang Jun didn't care about this, but instead thought about filling their water tank.

It’s not possible to just put water in there, but he’s quite good at melting snow.

So, despite the little girl's attempts to stop him, he took the pot and went outside.

The old man was not in the house and no one knew where he went.

Taking advantage of this little time, Yang Jun brought back several more batches of water.

It's just snow added to the water, and it looks like snowflakes falling in a river in winter.

After just a few times, the water tank was visibly filled up.

Niu Xiaocao couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Big brother, how did you do it? It's amazing."

"Read more books and learn some science and technology, and you will understand it when you grow up."

Yang Jun was talking pure nonsense, but he also held some hope, hoping that she could be as tough as Cheng Xiaoyu.

"Well, I will study hard." Her eyes were firm, as if there was something that needed to be done.

When they had waited for almost an hour, Yang Jun helped the little girl put the washed shepherd's purse into a bag and prepared to carry it back.

Unexpectedly, grandma came back at this time.

What she was holding in her hand was not clear until she got closer and found out that it was a ginseng with dirt on it.

The soil has not dried up yet and is still gathered on top of the ginseng.

The old man's body was weathered, and his worn cloth shoes were covered with thick mud. She casually placed them on the doorstep and scraped them to remove the clay from the shoes.

"Baby, take this back with you."

She handed over the ginseng immediately, as if to make up for all the things Yang Jun had paid.

It was the first time that Yang Jun saw this kind of wild ginseng at such a close distance, so he couldn't help but take it.

The reason why we know this is a wild ginseng is naturally because there is no artificial cultivation within dozens of miles. If we want to obtain more ginseng through artificial cultivation, we may have to wait another twenty years.

With his eyesight, he couldn't really tell the exact age of the ginseng, so he could only ask the old man.

I didn't expect she actually knew something.

"It should be eighty years or more, I don't know how much more."

Even if we take the figure of eighty years, the value of this ginseng is still quite high.

If she sold it to a medicinal materials company or department store in the provincial capital, she could get at least a hundred yuan in compensation.

Yang Jun really wanted the wild ginseng, but he had no intention of taking advantage of it, so he declined. Unexpectedly, the old man was extremely persistent and insisted on giving it to him no matter what.

Yang Jun paused and made a pertinent suggestion.

"Grandma, how about this, we won't take advantage of each other. You give me the ginseng, and I'll give you the money. You keep it well."

Yang Jun took out more than a hundred yuan and stuffed it into the old man's hand without saying anything.

Without waiting for her to refuse, he said righteously, "Just think of it as doing it for the grass."

Sure enough, after mentioning his granddaughter, the old man was speechless.

"Okay, grandma, I really have to go. Otherwise, it will be dark when I get home, and my mom will definitely be worried."

Yang Jun waved goodbye to the two of them. The two, one big and one small, stood at the door watching him go away, like a still picture.

After he walked away, the old man hesitated for a while, then put the money away and went to look at the things Yang Jun brought.

In addition to the quilt, each person also has a set of clothes and shoes, which looks warm.

In addition, fine grains such as lard, rice, and flour made Grandma Xiaocao so shocked that her hands trembled.

When has there ever been such a good time at home?
And the child left some money before leaving.

It is said to be the money of wild ginseng, but in the eyes of the old man, this thing is clearly worthless.

"The baby gave too much." She felt guilty.

Let’s talk about Yang Jun again.

He was really happy from the bottom of his heart. He was so lucky today. He met Grandma Xiaocao and she dug out a ginseng that was nearly a hundred years old.
"I was just thinking of growing some valuable medicinal herbs, but you came uninvited. It seems like it was fate."

He smiled and then casually planted the wild ginseng in the ground.

This wild ginseng is different from the Changbai Mountain ginseng in the north, and it looks a bit black.

However, it is precisely this that proves its identity as local wild ginseng.

After the ginseng was planted, he quickly dripped a drop of spiritual water on it to allow it to recover as soon as possible.

If possible, Yang Jun wanted to use the century-old ginseng as the mother ginseng to cultivate some wild ginseng.

With the magical water, there is no need to worry about it taking a long time for it to bloom and bear fruit.

On the way back, he kept sighing about how much money he had made.

When he arrived near Jinshui Village, Yang Jun suddenly thought of a timid figure.

"I hope you and grandpa are doing well."

Arriving at Mr. Jin's house,

Compared with Niu Xiaocao, they are so similar.

Uncle Jin’s house.

Yang Jun knocked on the door.

After a while, a figure with difficulty opened the door.

"Brother, it's you."

Jin Ru was instantly delighted.

Yang Jun smiled and pinched her cheek, then asked, "Where's your grandfather?"

The smile on the girl's face disappeared instantly.

Her golden beans came out without any warning.

"Grandpa is sick again. I'm scared."

She was already very familiar with Yang Jun, so she didn't feel like he was a stranger and could confide her feelings to him.

"Don't be afraid, take me to see grandpa."

Yang Jun felt a little helpless. He remembered that the old man had been sick only once before, and he didn't take care of his body at all.

Inside the house, when Mr. Jin, who was lying on the bed, saw Yang Jun coming in, his face suddenly became a little angry.
