Gu Chengyu was afraid that Father Gu would tear off the roots of the ginseng with his thick hands, so he quickly ordered: "Dad, the valuable thing is the root below. Don't tear it off. We have to dig it gently and dig closer."
When you dig it, you can't use a sickle, you have to dig it with your hands, and you have to dig it carefully, otherwise it won't be valuable!"
When Father Gu heard that it was not worth the money, he immediately stopped the sickle in his hand and started to plan it with his hands. The two of them planed for about a quarter of an hour. The thick body of the ginseng was half hidden and half exposed, and the ginseng reed and ginseng bowl could be seen on it.
, Gu Chengyu’s hand paused, eh? Wrong thing? I wanted to take that ginseng for more than a hundred years! Now this one is only over eighty years old. I didn’t pay attention at the time. I almost pulled it out when I saw it. Who knew?
It's too small! Forget it, it's just a mistake. I just don't know if it's worth it. If it's not, there will still be honeysuckle. Gu Chengyu is very upset.
It seems that there are many opportunities to make a fortune deep in this dense forest! The deeper you go, the more valuable species there are in places where no one goes. He is now cultivating his internal strength. Once he learns the moves, he won’t have to worry about wild beasts.
.
Gu Chengyu and Mr. Gu dug out the ginseng and carefully pulled out the remaining ginseng roots from the soil. A complete ginseng tree was presented in front of Mr. Gu.
"This? This?" Father Gu held the ginseng carefully with both hands and asked in a trembling voice.
"Isn't this ginseng? I've seen it before. Seven or eight years ago, Zhang Gou'er from the end of the village dug it up. Most people in the village have seen it! He even sold it in the drug store. How much do you think he sold?
We paid thirteen taels of silver! This one is much bigger than that one, Xiaobao, we have made a lot of money, we can always sell it for dozens of taels of silver, right?"
Gu Chengyu couldn't laugh or cry. After working for a long time, he could only sell a few dozen taels. Is it possible that ancient ginseng was not valuable and could be wholesaled? This is authentic wild ginseng! Let's take a look first! A few dozen taels can also solve the problem at home.
I'll think of a solution later.
"Dad, let's put him in the basket first, cut some pigweed to cover him, and then we'll pick honeysuckle after dinner!"
"Hey~ That's right, hide it quickly. If the village sees it, it won't be revealed." Father Gu put a layer of leaves he picked in the basket, put the ginseng in, and quickly cut the pigweed.
, Gu Chengyu put the hogweed into the backpack. The two of them were quick with their hands and feet. It took less than a quarter of an hour to fill the basket without compacting it, for fear of crushing the ginseng.
The two of them walked down the mountain one after another. Father Gu suppressed his smile all the way, fearing that others would see that there was ginseng in his backpack. He only said hello in a hurry when he met people on the way, and took Gu Chengyu back to Gu's house.
At this time, the sky was already bright and it was about Chen time. Gu Chengli and Gu Chengyi, who were working in the fields, had come back. Everyone was waiting for Father Gu to come back for dinner.
As soon as Daddy Gu put down the backpack, Gu Chengli came to pick it up, but Daddy Gu blocked it back with his hand, making Gu Chengli a little confused.
"Ahem, boss, let me do it! This grass will be fed to the pigs later. Let's put it here first. Let's have breakfast first. I have something to say." Father Gu put the basket outside the main room. Everyone was still a little confused.
Do you still have pigweed in the house?
Mrs. Lu's eyes lit up as she looked at the basket. Could it be that the baby was in the basket? She asked Daddy Gu with her eyes. Unexpectedly, Daddy Gu didn't look at him at all and just sat on the edge of the kang. The Gu family usually had meals.
It was in the main room. There were two tables. The upper table was leaning against the Kang. Sitting on the Kang were Father Gu, Mrs. Lu and the Gu brothers. Mrs. Lu couldn't help but feel disappointed when she saw that Father Gu was silent and didn't look like he was surprised.
, could it be that you didn’t find the baby?
Dalang brought Erlang and Sanlang back when they were setting the dinner table. They also went to collect firewood. The Gu family used a lot of firewood every day. They went to the mountains to collect dead branches or cut some branches. When they came back, their heads were full.
He was sweating profusely and his face was red. Dalang worked hard. He was almost eleven years old and looked like Da Ya. He was very thin and looked very similar to his elder brother. The firewood he carried on his back was taller than his body.
, Gu Chengyu looked a little guilty, he shouldn't ignore this hard-working and honest child, and Da Ya.
Erlang was also helping Dalang drag firewood behind him, while Sanlang was walking behind with his arms folded. Erlang's temperament was somewhat similar to that of his second brother, and he was quite diligent in his work; while Sanlang looked very similar to He, he liked to be lazy, but he didn't
What a brain, it is easy for people to leave the impression that he is lazy and lazy, but maybe he doesn't care. He sniffs his nose and goes out to play wildly all day long. This is very similar to the idiot.
Gu Chengyu walked over and wanted to help, but he didn't want to be overtaken by Gu Chengli. He smiled slightly. Although the elder brother was dull, he was good to Da Lang, and he was also good to girls like Da Ya.
Back in the main room, Mrs. Lu had already divided the food on the tables. Dalang and the others were all little kids, so they always sat at the same table with Mr. He and the others.
"Everyone sit down, I have something to say. This morning, Xiaobao and I went up the mountain to hunt hogweed, and saw a large field of honeysuckle on the mountain. Xiaobao said that he had seen it at Mr. Li's house. It is said that this can be harvested
Take it to the drug store and sell it for money. Let's pick it early after dinner tonight. Remember, don't go to the village and talk nonsense, otherwise others will pick it." Father Gu told the story about the honeysuckle, but the ginseng
He still needs to think about it.
The second child's family likes to mess around all day long, and they never keep their mouth shut. By then, the other people's ginseng has not been sold yet! The whole village will know about it. We should wait until we go to the drug store to sell it, but we don't know what's going on.
How much silver is it worth?
"Ouch! Really? Is that honeysuckle worth anything? His brother-in-law, have you really seen it?" Mr. He couldn't help it at first. Finally, he could make a living at home? The rest of the Gu family also focused on
Gu Chengyu's expression was urgent, the Gu family needs money now!
Gu Chengyi was quite skeptical, "Xiaobao, can you see clearly? Don't admit your mistake. If you pick it up and the drug store doesn't accept it, isn't it a waste of effort?"
"Second brother, it's true. I've seen it clearly." No matter, even if the pharmacies of this dynasty don't use honeysuckle, the medicinal effect of honeysuckle is real, and you can always find a way to get it to be accepted by the pharmacies.
Mrs. Lu was also very happy, "Xiaobao, have you really seen Mr. Li's medicinal materials? Are they really valuable? Then let's go have dinner this afternoon. Our house is at the entrance of the village, and we have to go around most of the village to get to the mountain.
It will inevitably cause trouble if others see you, so they can only go later."
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something again, "Young Er's family, please keep your mouth shut. If you let me know that you are fooling around, I will pay close attention to your skin." Lu had already decided to take good care of Er Er in the future.
Couple, otherwise they will be even more uncontrollable in the future? Now that his little baby has a way to make money, she will naturally not let go of this opportunity and scold the second son's family.
"Mom, after picking the flowers, you have to dry them in the sun. It takes four or five kilograms to dry one kilogram! I don't know how many can be picked and how much they cost." Gu Chengyu was also a little worried, fearing that the honeysuckle would be everywhere and it would be worthless.
.
"Mom knows that my little baby can make money at such a young age!" Mrs. Lu looked at her son's face full of pride, and kept picking up food for Gu Chengyu, which made Gu Chengyu look embarrassed. It has to be said that sometimes he also
I feel that Mr. Lu is quite partial and treats him better than Third Brother and others.
Gu Chengyu was immersed in drinking the mush, and suddenly he felt a line of sight falling on him. When he looked up, it was Da Ya. Gu Chengyu was a little surprised. In his impression, Da Ya was dark and thin, with his head down all day long, silent, maybe.
He couldn't say more than two words all day long. But at this moment, those bright black eyes were staring at him. When he saw Gu Chengyu looking at her, he quickly moved away, lowered his head, and started eating.
Only then did Gu Chengyu realize that Da Ya’s eyes were very beautiful, big and round, a bit like Father Gu. If she gained weight and was not as beautiful as she could be, she might still be a pretty little beauty. From this point of view, Da Ya was
He is an autistic child. He needs to pay more attention to this in the future and change his temper.
"Okay, eat quickly! You have to go to the ground after eating." Gu Chengyu's voice brought back Gu Chengyu's drifting thoughts. He glanced at Gu and guessed that he didn't mention ginseng.
His intention is that he doesn't know how he plans to sell it.
