Hua Zhao has already prepared dinner, and the main dish is braised fish.
It is not convenient to buy fresh meat now, and there is no stock at home. If you want to eat meat, you can only eat fish.
He Jianning didn't dislike it at all. He stood on the path to welcome Huaqiang, but his nose was filled with the aroma of braised fish.
Not only did he smell it, but many people in the village also smelled it. They had nothing to say other than lamenting that Hua Zhao was good at catching fish.
There is a river in the village, and no one is stopping you from catching it, but who do you blame if you can't catch it? Who do you blame if you catch your wife's food that doesn't taste good?
It's just that I was blind and didn't see how good Hua Zhao was... The key is that she wasn't good at all before!
Seeing Hua Qiang coming out with a smile, and the basket on his body seemed to be a bit heavy, Xiao Zhao immediately walked over and said, "Uncle, can I carry it for you?" He looked into the basket and saw that there was something there!
Based on Xiao Zhao's knowledge, he knew that when picking ginseng, it is best to wrap it in bark or moss. In this basket, there are several rolls of moss and a bunch of mushrooms.
He immediately nodded to He Jianning.
He Jianning raised his eyebrows in surprise and entered Tiantian Mountain. He probably couldn't go very far before he really dug up ginseng?
"No, no, no, I can't handle this weight." Hua Qiang said.
Xiao Zhao didn't try to persuade him anymore, but just stretched out his hand to hold the bottom of the basket. If this basket was something valuable, he really wasn't suitable to handle it, so he wouldn't understand the rules.
Several people returned to Hua Qiang's house.
Hua Zhao took the basket behind his grandfather, looked inside, and said in surprise: "Wow, did you really find ginseng? There are so many!"
"Good luck, good luck." Hua Qiang exclaimed, "This mountain is really a treasure mountain."
Apart from these two explanations, he couldn't think of any other reasons.
Today, he dug up three ginseng trees! And each one is dozens of years old. If he is not careful, it could be hundreds of years old. He is not very good at identifying them, but they are definitely not the ones that are thirty or fifty years old.
This was what he discovered one after another. He spent his time digging this day. In fact, there was a tree within a few steps!
"Baoshan, Baoshan." Hua Zhaoye said.
"Let's eat first, and we'll take care of them later." She looked at her grandfather who was a little tired.
Hua Qiang glanced at He Jianning.
"Eat first." He Jianning said, he was very hungry. He got food at a fellow villager's house with food stamps at noon. It tasted so good that he barely drank a bowl of porridge to give the fellow villagers face.
Several people came to the table and had a wonderful meal.
He Jianning felt more and more that if there was no Hua Zhao in the future, he might not be able to eat.
After clearing the table, Hua Qiang laid out his harvest today.
3 ginseng trees.
He Jianning recognized it at a glance. It was exactly the same as what he had eaten before. They were both white and fat, as if they were artificially bred, and he also smelled a faint and unique aroma.
"Can I pick it up and look at it?" he smelled.
"Watch as you like." Hua Qiang said.
He Jianning picked up one. The advantage of eating too much ginseng is that he can identify its age. The one in his hand is more than 80 years old, and the other two are similar.
Although it is not a hundred years old, he knows that the ginseng produced in this mountain is extremely effective. The 80-year-old ginseng is comparable to the effectiveness of century-old ginseng from other places.
As he held it closer, the unique fragrance became stronger, which cleared his brain, which had been aching recently. He was sure that this was indeed the same ginseng he had bought before.
"How do you plan to sell it?" He Jianning asked Hua Zhao.
Hua Zhao looked at the box that Xiao Zhao placed on the kang. There were only 12 gold bars missing, and there were more than 100 gold bars left.
But if you convert it to the current gold price and convert it to RMB, it is not worth 150,000, and you can't buy her one.
"Your disease is very expensive." Hua Zhao suddenly said.
Ginseng cannot be eaten dry, and the medicinal effect will not last for several years. He needs to keep the ginseng hanging. If his condition is better, he will need to eat two or three trees a year. If it is not good, he will need four or five trees.
Li Mu said before that the century-old ginseng could protect his life for 10 years, but that was only if he didn't worry, didn't work too hard, and rested in the courtyard every day.
If he wants to go out to work and spend all his energy every day, and if he is interrogated and drug-deprived before, he will not be able to survive for ten years.
He Jianning didn't want to live in a small courtyard and waste his time. He wanted to live a wonderful life while he was still alive, so he caught up with him and bought ginseng.
"It's indeed quite expensive." He Jianning smiled shyly: "So I ask the girl to be merciful and ask for a gentle price."
Hua Zhao looked at the box on the kang again. She didn't want the gold bars anymore.
To be honest, she was not sure where these gold bars came from. Who could be sure that they were handed down by the ancestors of the He family and were not obtained by plagiarizing other people's houses?
Things registered will have to be returned when the time comes.
When the liquidation began in a few years, He Jianning said again that all these things were with her, and they were indeed there. Who would she ask to reason with?
By then the ginseng has gone into his stomach, can she still dig it out?
Not talking about He Jianning's rumors, just saying that he cheated her a few times, she wasn't sure whether he could do such a thing.
"It's better to pay in cash. Even though these ginseng trees are smaller than those of a century old tree, I've increased the price to 200,000 per tree." Hua Zhao said willfully.
Hua Qiang glanced at her and was shocked by her wide open mouth.
200,000 is a huge amount that people cannot imagine nowadays.
But Hua Zhao knew that it was actually not very scary.
The Northeast is strictly controlled, and all private businesses are covered by a blanket rule. Even markets are not allowed. But in other places, markets have almost always been available, except for the most stringent years. Farmers can freely buy and sell their own surplus agricultural and sideline products.
.
It's your own leftovers, you can't go somewhere to stock up and sell them, that won't work.
However, the black market is everywhere, and there are still "second-rate dealers".
It is said that in 1976, the boss of "Fool" Guazi had already saved 1 million yuan.
Hua Zhao also suddenly remembered this rumor, and then he remembered that people grow and sell melon seeds.
Moreover, the market will open up soon, and people like He Jianning will not be short of money, so she opened her mouth a little louder.
This is not the biggest, she will increase the price next year!
"Let's discuss it again?" He Jianning said. He was also frightened by the 200,000 yuan.
It's not that he can't afford this price, but he's afraid that if he agrees too readily, next time she will grow to 300,000.
He discovered that this little wife had no sympathy for him.
"How to negotiate? 300,000?" Hua Zhao said.
Look, that's it!
"Okay, okay, 200,000 is 200,000," He Jianning said.
