Chapter 183 The Hundred Years Ginseng Was Eaten by Rats
Chapter 183 The century-old wild ginseng was gnawed by rats
"Wow, it looks delicious, brother, it's time to eat." Ji Feng drooled and shouted excitedly to Ji Xun, who was sitting at the door of the cave, mending his pants under the last ray of sunset.
Ji Xun's trousers had been mended and he folded them carefully and prepared to put them into the suitcase. The suitcase was a little messy because Shen Yuyu had rummaged through it before, so he folded it again with a frown.
Shen Yuyu, who was sitting at the table and sharing the porridge, couldn't help biting his lip after looking at it. This guy is so down-to-earth that he lives in a cave and is still so particular. Does he have obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Ji Xun also sat over after finishing his work.
Crisp and delicious cold fungus and porridge, this meal was delicious for Ji Feng.
Ji Xun was always indifferent, eating his portion of porridge expressionlessly, without touching the fungus, as if he was afraid that Shen Yuyu would poison it and murder him.
"Brother, why don't you eat it? The cold fungus made by my sister-in-law is delicious." Ji Feng chewed the fungus and looked at Ji Xun with his big and bright eyes.
Ji Xun glanced at Ji Feng and said softly: "Eat less cold things, Ah Feng, so as not to ruin your stomach."
Ji Feng said oh, but couldn't help but continue to eat. At this time, Shen Yuxi looked at Ji Feng with a smile: "You really shouldn't eat too much cold food. If A Feng likes it, my sister-in-law will make it next time."
"Hmm." Shen Yuyu spoke, and Ji Feng put down his chopsticks, touched his belly and burped with satisfaction.
After dinner, it was almost dark, so I couldn't bear to light the lamp, so I washed up in the dim light and prepared to go to bed.
Ji Xun moved the 'door' made of wood to block the entrance of the hole, so that the wild beasts could not enter.
The little guy took off his coat and put it on the small bed, "Brother, my bed is too small to sleep in. You go and sleep with my sister-in-law." The little guy smiled mischievously, and his brother and sister-in-law slept on the same bed. You will have a baby, and won’t he have a playmate soon?
Ji Xun frowned in disgust after hearing this. This evil woman has been pretending all day long to have this plan? She actually instigated a child to say such things and taught the child a bad lesson. It's so abominable!
Shen Yuyu glanced at the figure like a door panel. The light was too dark to see clearly his face, but he could feel the faint murderous aura emanating from the darkness.
The original owner and Ji Xun did not consummate their marriage. Of course, this was not because the original owner was unwilling, but because Ji Xun simply refused to touch her.
There is such an incident in my mind. One day in the middle of the night, the original owner sneaked onto Ji Xun's bed and was kicked out of the bed by Ji Xun. He got a big bump on the back of his head.
The original owner was extremely angry and her temper became even more violent. She felt that a cripple and an ugly man dared to despise her? This made her even more resentful towards women.
When Ji Feng said such words, Ji Xun must have thought it was her who ordered it. Shen Yuyu scratched his forehead in embarrassment, feeling extremely embarrassed, "A Feng, come here, you and your brother will sleep in the big bed, and your sister-in-law will sleep in the small bed." bed. "
"This~~~"
"What is this? Are you a little kid arranging adult matters? Come here."
"Oh~~." The little guy had no choice but to crawl onto the big bed.
The small bed was perfect for Yu Yu to sleep in. She hugged the quilt and listened to Ji Feng's little guy's even breathing, but Ji Xun probably didn't fall asleep quietly.
I don't know what to say to him to make him give up his hostility towards me. Forget it, they will have to reconcile sooner or later.
It seems that Ji Xun was entrusted by the original owner's father, Shen Hong, to marry her, and he didn't like her at all.
And it is impossible for her to be tied up with a man who has no feelings at all. It is better to be hostile to her. When the time comes, she will give him more money and he will definitely agree to divorce.
Shen Yuyu was too tired, so she fell asleep while thinking about it. When she woke up again, it was already dawn.
I was startled when I opened my eyes, how could I live in a cave? I was confused for a long time before I remembered that I had traveled through time. I was depressed for a while and sat up.
The person on the big bed next to him had already gotten up, the bedding was folded neatly, the door to the cave was half opened, and Ji Xun's voice came from outside.
"Stand upright, look ahead, and raise your head, as if the top of your head is suspended by a thread..."
Shen Yuyu rubbed his eyes and got up. He walked to the entrance of the cave with his shoes and took a look. Ji Xun Zhengjiao Ji Fengza walked on the ground outside the cave with a serious look.
Ji Xun had been a soldier, so it was normal for him to like to practice kung fu. Shen Yuyu stood at the entrance of the cave for a while, yawning and went back to the house to wash up.
After breakfast, Ji Xun told Ji Feng a few words and then went into the mountain. Shen Yuyu decided to go to the town to sell the century-old wild ginseng dug yesterday.
She put the wild ginseng into the basket on her back and called to Ji Feng: "Let's go to the town with my sister-in-law." She has a child with a companion.
"Going to town? Really?" Ji Feng was holding a slingshot and was about to go hunting for birds with his friends. After hearing Shen Yuyu's words, he quickly put the slingshot away, took Shen Yuyu's hand and happily walked out of the cave.
To go to the town, you have to pass through the village. In the morning, the village is covered with a layer of mist. The green mountains, green waters, houses and fields make it hazy like a fairyland.
"Yu Yu, where are you going with your brother so early in the morning?" Aunt Zhou was sweeping the floor in the main room when she passed by the door of Zhou's house. When she saw Shen Yu Yu coming, she straightened up and stared at them.
Shen Yuyu didn't treat Ji Feng well. Did he want to sell him?
"Didn't I pick some medicinal materials yesterday? I took my brother to the town to sell them."
Aunt Zhou didn't hear the first half of the sentence correctly, but she heard the second half clearly. She took her brother to the town to sell it? That's okay.
He hurriedly called Shen Yuyu: "Yuyu, wait a minute, your Xingwang brother is also going to town, ask him to give you a ride." After saying that, he shouted to the backyard: "Xingwang? Have you hitched the ox cart yet?" hurry up."
"Oh, here it comes."
Following the sound, a honest boy of seventeen or eighteen years old drove a bullock cart out of the backyard.
Aunt Zhou told Shen Xingwang: "Yu Yu is also going to town with her brother. Yu Yu is young, so you can help me see what she sells." She winked at Shen Xingwang as she spoke.
Shen Xingwang had also heard of the name "Fool Shen", and knew that his mother was worried that Shen Yuyu would sell his younger brother Ji Feng, so he agreed with a smile, drove the bullock cart to Shen Yuyu, and greeted them to get on the cart.
"Thank you, Brother Xingwang." After climbing onto the bullock cart, Shen Yuyu said thank you out of habit.
"They are all from our own family, why are we grateful?" Shen Xingwang scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, feeling that Shen Yuyu was not as stupid as the rumors.
The oxcart rang through the center of the village. When it passed by the door of Shen's house, it was stopped by Shen. "I'm going to town, Xingwang. Can you give me a lift?" As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Yuyu with disdain. Yu Yuquan pretended not to see it and took out a red rope to teach Feng how to turn flowers around.
"Okay." Shen Xingwang stopped the ox cart and waited at the door.
Mrs. Shen looked away and spoke to Shen Xingwang: "They also want to go to town with you?"
"Yeah." Shen Xingwang nodded.
"Xingwang, my aunt is kind enough to remind you that if you take someone to the town, if they get lost foolishly and Ji Laizi asks you, can you afford to pay for it?"
Shen Xingwang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will go with you wherever Yu Yu wants to sell or buy, and I will definitely bring them back alive."
After hearing these words, Shen Yuyu couldn't help but look at Shen Xingwang with admiration. This young man's temperament is as kind and upright as his mother. This quality is rare, especially the original owner is not a good person and has a very bad reputation in the village. He is willing to do this. Not many people treat her well.
Seeing Shen Xingwang's answer, Mrs. Shen was speechless and shouted into the room: "Are you feeling better in the past? Don't keep your brother Xingwang waiting."
"Here we come."
Following the sound, Shen Xi came out of the house in a flourishing manner. When he caught a glimpse of Shen Yue, he was stunned for a moment.
Idiot Shen obviously can't swim. I don't know why he didn't drown yesterday. Today he has to ride in a bullock cart with her. It's really unlucky.
Shen Yuyu didn't even look at her, as if he didn't know her, and happily flipped the flower rope with Ji Feng. Shen Xi glanced at her and got on the bullock cart.
Mrs. Shen gave a few worried words, and the ox cart started to move.
As soon as Shen Xi got into the car, she tensed up and was ready for a fight. She kicked Shen Yuyu into the lake yesterday, so she had to be careful not to be kicked out of the cart today.
The strange thing is that Shen Yuyu was very quiet today. At first, she was flipping ropes with the oil bottle. Later, when the oil bottle was tired, she fell asleep on her lap. She looked at the scenery in the distance and meditated silently. It's like a different person.
Shen Xi hoped that Shen Yuyu wouldn't find trouble, and she didn't want to get into a fight. Wouldn't it be over if they had a fight today after dressing up so beautifully?
Shen Yuyu's attention was not on Shen Xi at all. While looking at the scenery, he happily calculated how much the century-old wild ginseng could be sold for.
Do you have five hundred taels of silver? If you don’t have five hundred and two hundred taels, you have to have it, right? You must have enough money to buy a house, but where should you buy the house? Or should you divide the money with Ji Xun so that everyone can get together and part ways? Go their separate ways?
After thinking happily, the ox cart entered the town in less than half an hour. After entering the town, Shen Xi got out of the car and left.
Ji Feng woke up after a long sleep and rubbed his sleepy eyes: "Sister-in-law, are you in town?"
"Well, we're here." Shen Yuyu replied, and then said to Shen Xingwang, "Brother Xingwang, I'm going to the pharmacy in the town to sell medicinal materials."
"Okay." Shen Xingwang agreed and drove the ox cart to the gate of Baohe Hall in the town. "You go ahead, I'll wait here."
"Thank you Brother Xingwang." Shen Yuyu got off the oxcart, grabbed the basket, and told Ji Feng, "Ah Feng is waiting for my sister-in-law in the car. She will be back soon."
"Yes." Ji Feng nodded obediently, still feeling a little sleepy after sleeping all the way.
Shen Yuyu carried a basket on her back and entered the medicine hall.
The clerk at the medicine hall was about the same age as Shen Yuyu and was very kind. He didn't look down on her because of her shabby clothes. He smiled and stepped forward: "Girl, take the medicine?"
"No, I'm here to sell medicine." Xiaoyou said, putting down his backpack and taking out a few Tianqi and Chonglou, "How much can these be sold for?"
The clerk looked at them and gave them a fair price, "These Tianqi and Chonglou are pretty good. They can be sold for twenty coins in total."
Shen Yuhu had no idea about ancient currencies, but she felt that this guy was an honest man and would not deceive her.
"Okay, then sell it."
"Okay." The waiter responded, collected the medicinal materials and went to get the money.
Shen Yuyu took out the cloth bag containing wild ginseng from the backpack and was about to open it when he suddenly found a big hole in the cloth bag bitten by a mouse.
I'll go, what's going on?
Shen Yuyu opened the cloth bag with a heart in his hand. Hey, the century-old ginseng was almost eaten by rats.
There is no place to put the simple things in the cave. After wrapping the wild ginseng last night, it was inconvenient to enter the space, so I just put it on the stool in the corner. I don’t know which mouse became a spirit and chewed up her century-old wild ginseng until only one was left. There are a few whiskers hanging from Zhangpi, calling~~~ Damn mouse, I can’t patch it to death!
"Girl, this wild ginseng... Oh, what a pity." When the waiter came over with the money and saw this situation, he also felt sorry for Shen Yuyu, "Look at this whisker? If only it hadn't been gnawed by mice. If so, we can sell it for at least three to four hundred taels."
Shen Yuyu was also heartbroken and heartbroken. All her money was fed to rats. Is there anyone more unlucky than her?
"Then, can we still sell the rest?" Shen Yue looked at the clerk pitifully.
"Girl, wait a minute, I'll ask the shopkeeper to come." The waiter couldn't make a decision, so he went to the back hall. Soon a short, fat, middle-aged uncle came out of the back hall and stared at Shen Yuyu's hand as he walked. of wild ginseng, sighing and shaking his head.
"Oh, this girl's luck... is it considered good or bad? This wild ginseng should be more than a hundred years old. It's a rare thing, but it was gnawed by a mouse... It's really rare to see it!"
It was rare for Shen Yuyu to be in the mood to joke, "Isn't that right? This damn rat gnawed on my century-old wild ginseng, and it will probably ascend to immortality."
Seeing her open-mindedness, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look at her deeply: "Do you want to sell the rest of this?"
"Sell it." Shen Yuyu shrugged, "You can't take it back and feed it to the rats." The waiter was almost amused.
The shopkeeper also laughed: "Then I'll give you a price. If the girl thinks it can be sold, she will sell it to me for ten taels of silver."
A few hundred taels turned into twelve taels. Shen Yuyu felt as if he had won a 10 million lottery ticket but didn't get it, but the shopkeeper of the twelve taels had given enough, just two or three whiskers.
"Sold, thank you shopkeeper."
"Okay." In fact, the shopkeeper didn't make much money. He took these things that were used as medicine and ordered the clerk to take the ginseng. Then he personally handed two heavy silver coins to Shen Yuyu and kindly told her: "Girl, take it." Yes, remember not to expose your money."
"Yes." Shen Yuyu took it with both hands and bowed to the shopkeeper to thank him.
She was also very excited. This was the first money she earned in ancient times! A full ten taels of silver, two ice-cold ingots! She got them when she was penniless. Thinking about what God had done to her. No matter how thin she is, she is not greedy!
She was happily preparing to wrap the silver in the piece of cloth that had been bitten by the mouse. When the shopkeeper saw that she didn't even bother to wrap up the package, he gave her another one. This moved Shen Yuyu very much.
"Uncle shopkeeper, what's your surname?" Shen Yuyu wrapped the money and put it in his backpack, and asked the shopkeeper respectfully, thinking that if he wanted to use his medical skills in the future, he would definitely cooperate with this uncle.
"My surname is Bai, where is the girl?" The shopkeeper also thought this girl was interesting and asked casually.
Shen Yuyu hurriedly replied solemnly: "My surname is Shen, my name is Shen Yuyu. Thank you shopkeeper Bai." Then he waved to the shopkeeper and walked out of the medicine hall with the basket on his back.
She climbed onto the bullock cart and said to Shen Xingwang: "Brother Xingwang, how much will it delay you to wait? Why don't you go and do your work, and let's meet at the gate of the town when we go back?"
Shen Xingwang shook his head resolutely: "How can this be done? I said I will take good care of you, so I must do it. What are you going to buy next? Brother Xingwang will take you to buy everything, and then I will do it myself. thing."
"Okay, then I'm going to buy some rice and some vegetables, and I'm going to a clothing store to buy some clothes, and I'm also going to buy a hoe."
"Okay." Shen Xingwang didn't find it strange. When Ji Xun married Shen Yue, he spent fifty taels in gift money, which was a huge sum of money in rural areas. It was normal to have some money left to live with.
