Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 126 Ginseng
When Dalang came back, Yunsong had already pulled out the first ginseng tree.Wrap it with birch bark and moss, put it in the back basket, and then listen to Yuxian to dig another tree.Seeing that Da Lang was coming, Yuxian found the red string from the bundle, and tied those that she thought could be adult ginseng with the red string.Only then did he pinch off the ginseng seeds above and put them all in his small bag.Yuxian is extremely beautiful, today's harvest is too great, these ginseng may sell for a lot of money.I also made so many ginseng seeds, it was like a dream.

At this time, half of the ginseng tree that Yuan Qingyun dug had come out.Yuxian ran to take a look, oh my god, this head is too big, this guy should be the ancestor of the ginseng around.The tree next to Erlang dug was about the same size. Yuxian was so happy that she almost fainted when she saw these two. "Oh my god, Uncle Yuan, have we met ginseng essence? Why is it so big?"

"Look at your little sample. I've said it before. You are destined to be extremely wealthy. What does that matter? Let's wait and see." Yuan Qingyun concentrated on picking the ginseng out.

About an hour later, Yuan Qingyun finally pulled out the ginseng tree.Good guy, even the reed head and beard can be more than two feet long, and the wrist is thick and thin. Yuxian estimates that this guy can be at least eight or nine taels.It is said that seven taels are the same as eight taels are treasures, this guy is definitely a rare treasure.Erlang then pulled out another tree, which was a little smaller than this one, and it seemed like it would have to go up.Everyone began to dig out the rest. Yuxian and Dalang ate a mouthful of dry food first, and then they changed hands, replacing Yun Song and the others for dinner.After Yun Song and the others have rested, they will switch back.Da Lang went to fetch some water, but fortunately there was a small river two or three miles away, so there was no need to worry about the lack of water.

Everyone was busy until the evening, before getting up more than 20 trees.Looking at those ginsengs that have not been dug out, everyone wished they could stay awake and work until dawn.But Heitian couldn't see clearly at all, and couldn't do the work.Everyone built a small fire not far from the ginseng in the village. Fortunately, the trees are lush now and it is not easy to catch fire, otherwise Yunsong would not dare.At night, Yuxian slept on the piece of leather brought by Dalang, and the rest of them just found a place and leaned against the tree to take a nap.

As soon as it was dawn, everyone got up, ate some dry food, and then started working again.Finally, at noon, another 70 trees were dug up. In the afternoon, everyone was a little tired, and everyone changed their jobs, but only [-] trees were dug out.In two days, more than [-] ginseng trees were dug, all of which were very large.Except for the first one, the rest are bigger than the one Yuxian dug last year.

It was getting dark, Yuxian said to go home, Xiaosan was a little reluctant, "Little sister, let's keep a few people here, and we will come to dig tomorrow, there are still so many, or let others dig them out later, what should we do?" ?”

"Third brother, it's good that we can dig up so much. We can't be too greedy. We will come back next year. Besides, I have already planned. When these ginsengs are sold, we will buy all of this mountain. By then , don’t they all belong to our family.” Yuxian has already thought about it for the past two days, and she must buy this mountain.

"Yuxian, this mountain is not small, and it costs a lot of money to buy it. How can our family have so much money?" Yun Song asked.

"Father, you don't know this. If the big tree we dug today is sold, it is guaranteed to buy this mountain. Don't worry, I will go to Master tomorrow and ask him to help sell it. Then let's go through the formalities and buy this mountain. In the future, the ginseng here will be protected and can no longer be dug at will. This is the root of our family, and if something happens to us some year, this ginseng can be used Help." Yuxian thought farther.

"Yuxian is right. Be prepared for any danger. You should keep it and leave a way for future generations." Yuan Qingyun also agreed with Yuxian's words. "All of us here are our own family members. Don't tell anyone when we go back. The girls in the family have to keep it a secret. They will marry sooner or later. Who can guarantee that they won't mess up for the benefit of their own family in the future? thought."

"Yes, I remember." The children all replied.

When the group arrived home, it was already dark.Fang waited anxiously at home, leaving all the food in the pot, and when everyone came back, she hurriedly packed up all the food.Everyone was also starving, devoured a meal, and then went to rest.

Yun Song lay on the kang, and told Fang about the experience of the past two days, and Fang said with emotion: "Could it be that Yuxian is really rich and honored like Brother Yuan said? Or how could she always meet such a rich woman?" What about good things?"

"Who knows, but our family is thanks to Yuxian. Today she told me to buy that mountain, and I think it can be done. Just because there are so many ginseng on the mountain, we should buy it. This child It's quite a long-term thinking, and I don't know where she got so many ideas." Yun Song was a little sleepy, and didn't sleep well last night.

"She has been weird since she was a child, and she has a lot of strange ideas in her head. Don't think about it, go to sleep and have a good rest." Fang also fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, Yuxian got up and washed out the ginseng seeds she made yesterday.Those ginseng seeds have matured, put them in a small bag, put them on the washing board and rub them vigorously.After a while, the red pulp was rubbed off, and some light brown liquid flowed out.Yuxian rubbed it for a while, then found a sieve, opened the pocket, and poured the contents into the sieve.I saw that the white seeds had come out, scooped up some water, and rinsed the ginseng seeds in the sieve again.Those peels were washed away, leaving white seeds, Yuxian took the ginseng seeds outside to dry.This thing can't be dried in the sun, it is easy to roast the seeds to death, so it can only be taken out to dry in the morning and evening when the sun is not poisonous.

After eating, Yuxian took out the bear paws, bear bile, and musk that had been sun-dried a few days ago, put them in a small bag, and took more than ten ginseng plants dug yesterday, and asked Da Lang and Xiao San to take her to the town .Haoyu had to follow, so the four of them drove the ox cart to the town.When he arrived at Jishitang, Fang Yun hadn't left yet. He was going back to the capital in a few days. "Master, I brought some medicinal materials, please show me."

Seeing Yu Xian's appearance, Fang Yun knew that she must have gotten something good, so he hurried to the back hall with them.Yuxian opened the bag, "Master, look, this is bear bile, this is musk, my father and the others went hunting in the mountains a few days ago and got it. By the way, does Boss Yue want bear paws? I have a few more here." Where's the bear's paw?"

Fang Yun saw that they were all rare things, "Yuxian, you don't need to give the bear's paw to Boss Yue. I'm going back to the capital in a few days. The price of these things in the capital is high. I will keep the bear bile and musk. , we use these two kinds of medicine in our pharmacy." Then he looked at the burden on Dalang's quilt, "Why, there is something else?"

"Well, good stuff." Yuxian took the bundle and opened it, revealing the ginseng inside.

"Oh my god, this is a treasure, Yuxian, did you dig it?" Fang Yun saw the biggest one at a glance, picked it up and looked at it carefully, "It's really amazing, I haven't seen such a big one before." As for the ginseng, it must be quite heavy."

"Master, there are fifteen trees in total. This one is for you. You give this one to Brother Haoyu's mother for me, and sell the rest for me." Yuxian gave the third one to Fang Yun. , the fourth one was given to Haoyu's mother.

"Sister Yuxian, it's time to sell such a good thing. Just give the small one to my mother. This one is too big." Haoyu saw that the tree was more than six taels, and it was also a treasure. I dare not ask for it.

"Yeah, Yuxian, Master doesn't want it either. It's time for your family to spend money, and this tree is worth at least a few thousand taels. Master can't take it." Fang Yun also refused.

"Master, I have nothing to honor you, just a ginseng tree. There are more than 70 ginseng trees at home. We dug up more than [-] trees this time and left them as treasures for the master. Brother Haoyu, since you recognize me If your mother is an aunt, then your mother is also my aunt. If you are a nephew, what’s the big deal if you give your aunt a ginseng plant? This is a gift from our family. My aunt is not in good health, so I keep it for her health. " Yuxian persuaded one by one. "Accept it, if you don't accept it, then I will ignore you from now on." Yuxian began to play tricks.

"Okay, let's take it, you kid, you've learned how to play tricks. I'm going back to the capital tomorrow, is there anything for me to bring back?" Fang Yun didn't know what to do with his apprentice.

"It's nothing, when I grow up, I'll go to the capital by myself." Yuxian really wanted to see what the capital of this era looked like.

"Okay, when you grow up, master will take you there." Fang Yun wished he could take Yuxian there now.

"By the way, Master, are you going to the capital by yourself this time?"

"No, Shunzi will go with me. Shunzi has experienced it over the years, and I asked him to be the shopkeeper of Tongrentang. He was picked by me, and he is reliable," Fang Yun said.

"Well, Brother Shunzi is good. He treats people and things in a friendly manner. It is good to do business like him. Master, how long will this time be?" Not a bad candidate. "By the way, Master, will Brother Shunzi's relatives also go?"

"I can't tell. I'll try to come back as soon as possible. You may still be waiting to use the money. Shunzi is an orphan. I picked it up when I came to the Northeast. He has no relatives. What's wrong?" Fang Yun wondered about Yuxian. So will ask this.

"When master is leaving tomorrow, can we go to my house? I'll give brother Shunzi a girl. Otherwise, he is a big man, alone in the capital, and has no one to take care of him. This is the shopkeeper of our Tongrentang, How can there be no one to serve you?" Yuxian planned to send Chunlan here, it would be best if she could solve Chunlan's lifelong affairs. "My girl can read and write, so she can help Brother Shunzi."

"Okay, it's hard for you to be thoughtful." Fang Yun also understood Yuxian's thoughts to some extent, and agreed.
