Chapter 20 Selling Ginseng
With the discovery of yams, Jingyi began to pay attention to the plants along the way. Soon she found a clump of wild vegetables that looked like rapeseed by a stream. She held the wild vegetables and used her powers to learn that the wild vegetables were not poisonous.
Can be eaten.
Jingyi was very happy to discover a new vegetable. She used her powers to make the wild rapeseed continue to grow. Soon the rapeseed grew moss, and then many small flower buds sprouted from the branches on the moss, and then blossomed.
Golden flowers.
Jingyi looked at the golden rapeseed flowers and was very happy. She continued to use her powers, and soon the flowers withered and yielded seeds. Then Jingyi collected all the rapeseeds.
Jingyi thinks that this year she can grow some rapeseed as vegetables. Next year she can plant more rapeseed flowers and raise some bees. Then she can harvest honey and harvest rapeseed oil for consumption.
Many foods in this era have not been discovered yet, such as peppers, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, etc. These foods may not have been discovered yet, or may not have been introduced from other countries, but she has not seen them yet.
More attention should be paid to these things in the future.
Corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are all high-yielding crops that can greatly improve people's lives.
In this era, most of the vegetables on people's dining tables are wild vegetables, and only a few are artificially grown vegetables. Garlic, coriander, and cucumbers were also introduced from foreign countries not many years ago. However, they also enriched people's dining tables.
Jingyi collected the rapeseed and continued to walk forward. Suddenly there was a noise in front of her, and a pheasant flew up. Jingyi saw this, opened her bow and shot an arrow, and accurately shot down the pheasant. She picked up the pheasant and saw that it was quite fat.
, and placed it in the quilt basket behind her.
She walked a little further and put down the basket on her back, looked around, and then took out the small ginseng stick she bought from the county hospital yesterday.
She dug a hole in the ground, buried the small ginseng in the soil, and then started to use the wood power. She saw that the small ginseng buried in the soil sprouted and grew branches and leaves. Then the branches and leaves of the ginseng grew rapidly, and soon the branches and leaves
Small flowers bloomed in the middle and finally produced small red fruits. These are the seeds of ginseng.
Jingyi collected the ginseng seeds and planted them in the soil. Then he continued to use his powers, and a ginseng seedling grew in the ground. Under the stimulation of Jingyi's powers, the ginseng blossomed and bore fruit many times. There were several plants.
It's equivalent to hundreds of years.
Jingyi finally harvested a lot of ginseng seeds for future use, and then she dug out the largest ginseng plant. Jingyi visually judged that this ginseng plant was equivalent to five hundred years of ginseng. Selling this ginseng plant would solve the problem.
Her financial situation is in crisis.
Jingyi dug out several other large ginseng plants, leaving other small seedlings in the ground to let them continue to grow.
This area is a temperate zone, and ginseng can also grow, but it does not grow as well as in the Northeast.
Jingyi wrapped the ginseng in cloth and put it in the quilt basket and continued walking. Soon she met another rabbit, which also became her prey.
Jingyi also found a lot of herbs. She picked some good ones and went back to concoct them before using them.
Today she mainly came to the mountains to get ginseng and herbs, and to hunt on the side. She also found yams and rapeseed, and the harvest was quite big.
While walking back, Jingyi hunted another pheasant. She was very satisfied with today's harvest.
When she walked to the place where yams grew, Jingyi dug a lot of yams and put them in the basket on her back, and walked back with her things on her back. When she got to the door of her house, she took out the ginseng wrapped in a soft cloth, held it in her arms, and then rang the bell.
The door.
Qiao Hong opened the door and quickly took the basket from his young master's back, "Sir, let me follow you when you go into the mountains from now on. I can also help you carry the basket."
Jing Yi said: "Let's wait until you learn kung fu, otherwise I will have to protect you if you encounter wild animals in the mountains."
Qiao Hong also knew that following him into the mountains would be a drag on the young master, so he made up his mind to learn Kung Fu well, "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely learn Kung Fu well and try to protect the young master as soon as possible."
Jing Yi pointed to the pheasant in the basket and said, "Go and pick up a pheasant. Let's make chicken stewed with mushrooms for lunch."
Qiao Hong was very happy when he heard that, "Hey, I'll go and clean it up right now."
Qiao Hong went to pick up the pheasants, and Jingyi carried the ginseng into the room of the first wife's mother.
Mrs. Liu was relieved to see her daughter back, "Brother Yan, did you encounter any danger when entering the mountain?"
Jing Yi said: "Mom, you still don't know what I'm capable of. Do you think what I got back?"
As he spoke, Jingyi put the cloth bag on the table and opened it. There was a large ginseng and several smaller ginseng inside.
Ms. Liu was shocked when she saw it, "So many ginseng? This big one must be hundreds of years old. Did you find it in the mountains?"
Jing Yi said: "I bought a small ginseng in the county before, and this is the big one now. The other ginsengs are all its descendants."
Mrs. Liu remembered her daughter's miraculous ability as soon as she heard it, "Mother knows your ability, but use it sparingly in the future. What if it's bad for your health? It's enough for us to live a peaceful life with a simple diet."
Jing Yi nodded and said, "Mom, I understand what you mean. When I sell this ginseng, and we have the money to buy dozens of acres of land, we will have a stable income, and our living expenses will be no problem."
"
Mrs. Liu said: "Such a large ginseng is very precious, and it costs thousands of taels of silver. Don't be deceived when you sell it."
At noon, Jingyi made chicken stewed with mushrooms. She bought a lot of seasonings in the county town before, and the dish she made this time tasted much better. Jingyi shared some with Qiao Hong and his sister, who were very moved.
They can actually eat the same meal as their master every day, and it is such a delicious meal. They have fallen into a lucky nest.
After breakfast the next day, Jingyi went to the county town alone with a basket and ginseng on her back. On the way, she walked into the woods and changed her clothes, in order to reduce some trouble.
When she arrived at the county seat, she went to the medical clinic first, walked to the counter and said, "Brother, is your shopkeeper here? I have good medicinal materials for sale."
The clerk at the counter glanced at Jing Yi and said, "What medicinal materials do you want to buy?"
Jingyi placed the cloth bag wrapped with ginseng on the counter and opened a corner to reveal some ginseng whiskers.
The waiter's eyes widened when he saw it, and he immediately said, "Wait a moment, I'll call the shopkeeper."
Soon the young man ran to the back. Not long after, a middle-aged man came over with him, he must be the shopkeeper.
The waiter came over and said, "Sir, this is our shopkeeper, Shopkeeper Wang."
Shopkeeper Wang said: "Young master, if you want to buy medicinal materials, please come to the back with me."
Jing Yi followed shopkeeper Wang to the back. Shopkeeper Wang was pleasantly surprised when he saw Jing Yi's ginseng. During this time, someone happened to ask them to find old ginseng, and this ginseng came at the right time.
Because shopkeeper Wang wanted to buy it, he negotiated and finally settled the deal with five thousand taels of silver. Jing Yi asked for some broken silver and the rest in silver notes, which was convenient for holding.
