Chapter 99 Harvest

Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao naturally didn't know it. Qiao Xuan had bought it for the elderly in her family in her previous life. She took a special look at it out of curiosity, so she had an impression of it.

That's right.

"Fifth sister-in-law, is this--a good thing?"

“Can I sell it for money?”

It doesn’t matter that Shao Taotao and Shao Xiaoqi don’t know each other, Fifth Sister-in-law is very happy and says that this is a good thing!

Qiao Xuan nodded repeatedly and rubbed her hands: "This is a good thing! It is a rare and good medicinal material. It can be sold at a good price in the medicine store!"

From ancient times to the present, Gastrodia elata has been sold at a very high price.

Shao Taotao and Shao Xiaoqi cheered.

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and dig up these, these - Fifth Sister-in-law, what kind of medicinal herbs are these? Let's dig them all up!"

Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "This is called Gastrodia elata. The valuable part is the tuber growing in the soil, so you have to be careful when digging it. Don't damage it, otherwise it will be worthless."

Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao quickly agreed.

Shao Taotao couldn't help but ask again: "Fifth sister-in-law, how much can this Gastrodia elata be sold for?"

Qiao Xuan thought about it and shook her head: "I'm not too sure about this, but I think it should be more valuable than honey!"

"ah!"

"What!"

Shao Taotao and Shao Xiaoqi widened their eyes and gasped, then their spirits perked up and their expressions became more excited and serious.

The little brother and sister rubbed their hands together, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, we promise to be careful!"

Qiao Xuan nodded and smiled: "Just be careful. It doesn't matter if you get hurt a little. Don't be too nervous!"

Qiao Xuan suddenly had an idea. She thought, if there really was a damaged Gastrodia elata, maybe she could use her supernatural powers to try to repair it? But she didn't know if it would work.

Even if she can't, and there is occasional damage, it doesn't matter. She can use her special powers to perfectly avoid the stems and not get hurt, but Taotao and Xiaoqi don't have this ability, and they are not professionals.

However, Shao Taotao and Shao Xiaoqi did not get any comfort from Qiao Xuan.

"We will definitely be careful!"

"Yes, we must not damage the tubers of Gastrodia elata."

This is all money, more valuable than wild honey.

The three men did not bring hoes when they entered the mountains, but they brought hatchets. After all, the branches and grass were too dense in some places, and they needed to use the hatchet to cut some of them to clear a path.

Soon, Shao Xiaoqi sharpened some pointed sticks and the three of them started digging.

The terrain of this area under the forest is low and gentle, the soil is neither very wet nor dry, Gastrodia elata grows well and the soil is relatively easy to dig.

Soon, everyone gained something.

Each one was very plump, weighing at least two taels, and covered in soil, with the fragrance of soil and the unique aroma of fresh medicine. To their noses, it smelled like silver!

It would take more than 20 acres of Gastrodia elata to dig them all up in a short time, and even if they did, they would have no way to take them back.

They dug only about an acre at most, and the burlap bags and backpacks they brought were all filled up.

Besides, they are weak and cannot carry even more.

Shao Xiaoqi said: "I will remember this place. Let's go back first. What should we do with these Gastrodia elata when we take them back? Do we need to dry them too?"

Qiao Xuan had just tried it secretly, and her special ability could indeed repair the wounds of plants, but at the moment this ability was limited, and the wounds that could be repaired were not too big or too deep.

She is happy.

After listening to Shao Xiaoqi's words, Qiao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "We can't rely on so many people. Let's go back first. Third brother, eldest brother and his wife will come tomorrow."

Okay, see you tomorrow.
