Dad Gu also got straight to the point, "Brother Li, to tell you the truth, the day before yesterday, Lao Wu and I went up the mountain to collect firewood, and happened to dig up a ginseng plant. I was going to sell it, and I wanted to find you to see if I could sell it.
Do you want to pay a price? But if you can use it, I'll keep it for you."
"Oh? Is there such a good thing? Then let Mr. Li come and open his eyes, and maybe he can help me with the details." Mr. Li became more energetic when he heard that it was ginseng, and thought that if it was not big, he would buy it himself.
, there are also some wealthy households in other villages who can use ginseng slices.
Father Gu carefully took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it, revealing the ginseng inside.
"Yeah! I have never seen such good-looking ginseng! Look at this ginseng, it has an exquisite body, straight root shape, old skin, and the ginseng root is thick, short and straight. It is indeed a rare and good ginseng.
"Li Langzhong was so excited when he saw such a good ginseng that he couldn't control himself. Originally, he thought it was a small ginseng that was only ten years old at most, but now it looks like it is more than eighty years old, and the quality is so good, so he will buy it.
It's not affordable, and if you are not a wealthy family, you can't afford such ginseng.
"So this ginseng will definitely fetch a good price?" Father Gu was overjoyed, and then asked, "How much money is it worth?"
"The quality of this ginseng is good, but alas!" Li Langzhong touched the ginseng and sighed.
When Mr. Gu heard what Mr. Li had not finished, he became anxious again, "What's wrong? But what's wrong?"
"Oh! There's nothing wrong with it. It's just a pity. If it grows longer, it would be great if it grows into a century-old ginseng. The money will definitely be doubled." Li Langzhong looked at his father anxiously before he woke up and explained.
"Then how many years has it been like this? I can't recognize it. How much money can it be sold for?"
"This one is more than eighty years old. Usually ginseng that is more than eighty years old is worth three to four hundred silver, but this one is in good condition, so maybe it can be sold for more. Unfortunately, if it is a hundred years old, the silver will be huge.
Times, at least it can be sold for thousands of taels." Mr. Li shook his head and was a little envious of Father Gu and the others. Why did he often go to the mountains to collect herbs, but he had never encountered ginseng, not even small ginseng for several years?
Yes. It seems that the fifth child of the Gu family is indeed blessed. He shifted his gaze from the ginseng and glanced at Gu Chengyu. He saw the little boy sitting on a chair in the main room. Although his calves were short, he sat upright and his legs did not touch the ground.
He didn’t wander around. Li Langzhong nodded, and his character was not bad. Suddenly, an idea came to his heart, and then he shook his head, let’s talk about it later!
"What? A thousand taels?" Dad Gu swallowed his saliva. How much money is a thousand taels? He had never heard of a thousand taels and didn't even dare to think about it. However, Dad Gu had no regrets.
People should not be too greedy. This one can be sold for three or four hundred taels, which is already a lot. Three or four hundred taels can buy about forty acres of good paddy field.
Gu Chengyu sighed a little, who told him to get the wrong one?
Li Langzhong looked at Father Gu and was not jealous or upset when he heard about Qianliang. He also felt that Father Gu was not a greedy person.
"Brother Gu, this ginseng is too expensive. I usually look at rural farmers. Even some wealthy landowners are probably reluctant to spend this money. You might as well sell it to a medical clinic. I believe the price should be not low.
."
"Oh! If Brother Li really doesn't need it, then I plan to go to Renhetang in the town to have a look in the next two days." Father Gu didn't even think about looking for those small drug stores. Shanhe Town is close to the Jingyuan River, and there are also some small ones.
Shanhe Town is not a small town, and there are three or four small medicine shops. However, Renhetang is the largest medical clinic in the town. Not only does it have a doctor, but it also has a complete range of medicinal materials.
There were footsteps outside the main room, and it was Mr. Yao who was carrying a tea tray. He walked with a light gait, unhurried and unhurried, and the hand holding the tray never wavered. When he arrived, he gently put the tea in the tray.
Go to the table next to Gu Chengyu and the others. The tea served by the Li family is not served in the farmer's sea bowl, but in a teapot and a three-cai bowl. Although the bowl and the teapot are both yellow-brown coarse porcelain, there are black spots on them.
The rockery and green bamboos depicted were quite artistic. Then Yao actually took out a plate of mung bean cake from the tray and placed it next to it.
"Master, please give me some tea." Mr. Yao stood beside Mr. Li and said softly.
"Brother Gu, this is just a crude tea I bought in the town. If you don't mind, please try it." Li Langzhong put down the ginseng in his hand and asked Brother Gu to drink tea. He did not touch the tea bowl with his own hand.
, Gu Chengyu knew that the ancients paid attention to drinking tea and seeing off guests. If the host picks up the tea cup now, it means that he does not want to entertain guests, but wants to see them off.
"I'm not thirsty, I'm not thirsty." Dad Gu always drank from a bowl at home. When had he ever used a tea bowl specially designed for drinking tea? He was a little embarrassed.
"Brother Gu, you're welcome. The mung bean cake on the table was bought by my wife in the town. It's a sweet treat. I think the little kid will like it, so I'll give it to your little one." Seeing that Dad Gu was uncomfortable, Mr. Li didn't force it.
.
Yao was surprised after hearing what her husband said. She glanced at Gu Chengyu, walked to Gu Chengyu's side, and pushed the mung bean cake on the table towards him, "Your name is Xiaobao, right? Do you like sweet mung bean cake?"
Try it quickly." Yao said while looking Gu Chengyu up and down a few times.
Gu Chengyu was a little puzzled. Why did he feel that Yao was looking at him strangely? It seemed like he was sizing up something, but this was the first time that he and Yao had met today.
"Thank you, ma'am." Gu Chengyu was not polite. He wanted to taste how the mung bean cake tasted in ancient times. A piece of mung bean cake was in the shape of a small square with simple patterns on the four corners. He picked up one of the pieces and took a bite. It might be
The sugar in ancient times was expensive and not very sweet. There was no oil added to it. The texture was not so delicate and soft, and it was a little dry. Gu Chengyu finished the small bite on his hand and did not take the second piece. There was nothing he could do, it was too much.
After drying it, I was afraid of choking.
"You're welcome, kid." Father Gu smiled and said to Gu Chengyu, but did not stop him. Xiaobao had never eaten mung bean cake. To the Gu family, cloud cake is already the best pastry.
This mung bean cake is from the town, and Father Gu has never bought it.
Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl on the table, picked up the lid of the bowl, gently scraped the tea leaves floating on it, took a sip of the tea, and swallowed the residue in his mouth to feel better. He touched the material of the tea bowl in his hand with his fingers.
The rough porcelain is smooth, and the bowl is a bit thick. There is some green tea floating in the bowl. The tea soup is dark yellow, the aroma is low, and the taste is a bit astringent. It is just a large leaf. It is indeed not a good tea. Gu Chengyu thought of the space in his room.
There are a lot of good teas, but they are all packaged. If you have the opportunity, you still need to transplant some wild teas into the mountains. I believe that it will not take long in the space to grow into top-notch teas.
